NEW BOOKS.

We have received from the publishers,
Harper & Brothers, New York, through the
house of George Ellis, No. Old Levee
street, the following new books:
CHRISTIANITY AND GREEK PHILOSOPHY. By
B. F. Cocker, D. d.
The author of this work remarks, in the
preface, that ''the central and unifying
thought of this volume is that of the neces-
sary ideas and laws of the reason and the
native instincts of the human heart, origin
ally implanted by God, are the primal and
germinal forces of history, and that these
have been developed under conditions
which were first ordained and have been
continually supervised by the providence of
God" In considering the religious phe-
nomena of the world, numerous and widely
divergent, the author regards the following
five propositions as embracing all that are
worthy of consideration:
/, The phenomenon OF religion had its
origin in superstition; that is, in fear OF
invisible and supernatural powers, gener-
ated by ignorance OF nature.
2. The phenomenon of religion ls part
of that process or evolution OF the Abso ute
G j.
itself in nature, mind, history and religion,
attains to perfect self conscience in philoso-
ply.
8. The phenomenon of religion has its
foundation in feeing-the feeling of depend
ence, and of obligation, and that to which
the mind. by spontaneous Intuition or IN
stinctive faith, traces this dependence and
obligation We call God.
4 The phenomenon of religion had its
outbirth IN the spontaneous apperceptions
the Infinite. the Perfect, the Unconditional
into consciousness in presence OF the
changeful and contingent phenomena OF the
world.
5. The phenomenon OF religion mad us
origin in external revelation, to which rea-
son is related as purely passive organ, and
heatheniSm as a feeble relic.
These five propositions are learnedly
elaborated through several hundred pages
of interesting discussion. The work is well
worthy the attention of theological readers.

thousand head q year. The prosperity of
the whole frontier is paralyzed by the exist
ence of the zond hbre. The President and
heads of the executive departments of Mex.
leo. admitted the justice of our complaints.
and gave reason to hope that the decree
establishing the zona H6re would be abro-
gated at the next session of Congress.
No action was taken by the Mexican Con-
gress until December last, when, instead of
abrogatiDg the decree, they extended it 40
as to include the States of Nuevo Leon and
Coahuila. With knowledge OF the course
pursued by Mexico during the war, and of
the feeling toward the United States which
now animates the majority of her Congress-,
it is useless to expect anything from her
friendship or her justice. We must depend
wholly on ourselves, and must protect our
revenues by the best means in our power.
This can be partially expected by the pas
sage OF the proposed bill. The report con.
cludes as follows:
"The State Department. has been in cor
respondence with the Mexican government
for two years past in relation to the zond
libre, and although the President and execu.
tive officers of that government have ex-
pressed their sense of its injurious effects on
both countries, and their desire for its
abolishment, the only practical result has
been, as was before stated, its extension by
Congress over two more States. The hope
of successful negotiation seems to have
been exhausted. In violation Of her own
constitution, which prohibits the enactment
of revenue laws. unequal in their effect,
Mexico still persists in maintaining along
our frontier, belt of territory to which
goods are admitted free, while imports
to all other portious of the country
are required to pay heavy duty. Un-
friendly is the mildest term by which such
conduct can be characterized. A due con-
sideration for the protection Of our own in.
terest may render other measures requisite
to induce Mexico to regard the comfy of
| nations and to observe toward us such q
| course of conduct as is essential to our
maintenance of truly friendly relations be.
tween neighboring countries. In so deli.
cate q matter, the committee offer no sug.
gestions, but simply report the facts con.
| nected with the existence of the zona Rbre
for the consideration OF Congress. and re.
| commend the passage of the proposed bill
| without amendment"
Testimony in support of the above ex-
pressed views accompany the report.

States Marshal, Middle Tennessee.

THE FENIANS.

Eiaht Fenians Killed and Twenty
Wounded-secret Fenian Meeting In
st. Loals-An Quiet on Niagara and

Ing-Federal Troops Gathering up
Fenian Arms-COmmen ents Of the Lon.
don Press.
TORONTO. C. W. May 2S.-There were eight
Fenians killed and twenty wounded gester-
day. The excitement has ceased, and busi-
ness has again been resumed, though the
borders are still closely guarded by the regu-
lars and volunteers.
Advices received from the Red River ex-
pedition are favorable.
All quiet on Niagara and Detroit frontiers.
Sr LOUIS. May 28.-Reports are current
that considerable number of Fenians have
left here for the East, but it CO mot be as
certaiDed that over forty or fifty have gone
to the front.
A secret meeting has been held to raise
funds to send recruits, but the news from
the border is not calculated to render this
work successful.
Prominent Irishmen here regard the
Fenian movement as premature.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-From the Fenian
news which has been received, it appears
that there are apprehensions Of outrages
from isolated parties.
The present expedition will undoubtedly
fail. The Fenians are returning home as
rapidly as they Can obtain transportation.
The Federal forces are gathering up Fenian
arms abandoned in the country.
LONDON, May 28.-The journals continue
their comments on the attempted invasion
of Canada by the Fenians. The Post admits
that the Washington government has done
all that could reasonably be required. The
Saturday Reuieao scouts the idea expressed
in some quarters that the Washington au-
thorities are in connivance with the
Fenians.
The Times thinks the Fenian attempt will
not be absolutely regretted, If it will only
prompt the United States government to
such action as shall prevent repetition OF
| such oulrages.
The Spectator says the action of the Fe-
mans is due to their hereditary passion, and
| the policy of England is due to her hered-
| itary insolence and contempt.
The other journals have articles similar in
| tone. The good faith of the American
authorities is generally admitted, and the
attempt of the Fenians ridiculed.
The Saturday Reuie,r also contains
vicious article on the subject OF the
Eeecher's sermons

According to the Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Herald, the sermon of
Dr.. Newman, of the Metropolitan Methodist
Church, on the subject Of polygamy, de-
liyered several weeks ego, having reached
Brigham Young's dominions through the
columns of the Herald, the reverend doctor
has received challenge to come to Salt
Lake City and deliver the same discourse IN
the temple. 1t is proposed that one OF the
saints shall reply. A large audience and
perfect security are promised. DR.. New
man has accepted the challenge, and pro-
poses to leave Washington early IN August.

SUNDAY, MAY 49, 1870
ASkEsBMENT sTATISTlCS.

Quite recently We pointed out the necessl-
ty for an entire new assessment, 10th city
and State, for the city of New Orleans. We
made some statements that to many persons
might seem exaggerated. Having spent
some time in collating and preparing our
remarks from the printed reports OF the city
and State officers, we now present the figures
in tabular form, so that the wide differences
may be seen at a glance.
We also add the amount assessed by the
United States assessors on incomes for the
years 1868 and 1869, compared with the city
assessment. The city assessment for the
year 1868 being not one-half of that returned
by the servants Of Uncle sam; while for the
year 1869 the city assessment is only trifle
more than one-third that of the United
States for the same year.
We will suggest that there seems to us no
necessity for three separate assessments, as
at present. We hope we don't offend any
aspirants for office when we say that in our
opinion one set of assessors for the city and
State ought to suffice. The remedy is for the
next Legislature. What is done once, well
and properly. there Can be no need of paying
another set of men for not doing:
