Actin, on the advice of Sidney Clarke, late member of Congress, and others, over three hundred fami- lies have immigrated into the terri tro) Kansas since July last. As this is in violation ions with the -Indians, the Commissioners recently called the attention of the Secretary of the Interior to the matter, and ke in turn laid the facts before the President. I¢ is thought that the latter will shortly fssue a proclamation ordering these squatfers on lands which have been set tea by the government for the .ole use of the Indians to leave the territory under certain pains and penalties. THE Proroxep Torrepo Boats FoR THE Navy.—A board of naval officers, consisting of Commodore Cage, chief of the Ordnance Bureau, Capt. Ammen, chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, Naval Constructors Hanscom, Lenthal and Delano have been in session at the Navy Department for several days past to determine upon the plans for the new torpedo boats whi-h were authorized at the last session of Congrisi. Three hundred thousand dollars were appropri ated for cach ane of these vessels, but that sum will not be suftiei nd another appropriation their completion will be asked at the next session. They are to bz constructed with a sub- ged iron prow extending fitteen or twenty in tront upon which the torpedo will be jaced so as to-explode uponstriking anenemy’s vessel. They will be built witha special view to making headway, and will carry no gunsof larg: calibre. Loose PRacTICE oF Enporsing Recom- MENDATIONS.—Several cases which illustrate the carele:sness, to say the least, of Senators and Representatives in endorsing the papers of applicants for positions under the government have recently occurred in one ments. A distinguished Southern upon the head of the departm, ed to and panded the immediate discharge of a certain erk, onthe ground that he was not aud had ver been arepublican; besides this, he was ossly incompetent and totally mqualified to discharge the simplest clerical duty. The chief of the department listened courteously to these representations, and then mildly inquired : “If, as you say, Mr.——is notarepublican and is incompetent, why did you recommend him?’ “Recommend bi hy, sir, I never recom- mended him!” “Excuse me, sir, but I think you did. Here,” said the head of the depart- ment, ringing his bell for the messenger, “ask the appointment clerk to bring me the papers in the ecuseof Mr. ——.” The papers were brought, and irom them the chiet of the department selected a letter, which he handed to the Senator with a significant smile. It was a letter written some time since by the Senator himself, strong]: recommending ‘Mr. for appointment, ani vouching tor bis sta) republicanism and general qualification for the position sought. ‘he Senator “acknowledged the corn,” but said he had forgotten that he had written such a letter; it must have been done ina great hurry upon the representat on of some party in whose word he confidence.

C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1871. TWO CENTS. New Publications. From the publishers, through R.B. Mobun & Co., we have the following : A Terrible Temptation. By Charles Reade. New York: Harper & Brothers. A neat, “ handy-beok” edition, with the original illas- “Dombey and Son,” “Oliver Twist” and “Christmas Stories.” By Charles Dickens. New York: D. Appleton & Co. These are from the “ handy-volume” edition of Dickens’ works ing issued fortnightly by the Appletone. is, alto~ now be It is tastefully printed and bound, anc gether, put up in better shape than an edition of Dickens’ works heretofore © Light Science for Leisure Hours. By A. Proctor, F. R. A.S. New York: D. Apple- ton & Co. This isa series of familiar essays on scientific subjects, navaral phenomena, <c., contributed by Prof. Proctor to English serial literature during the past three of four years. They pre ent scientific truths in a light and readable form, and we are glad t) note that the author avoids that excessive simplicity some- times used by scientists writing for the general public, but which ‘soften less intelligible than a too technical style. History of Frederic the Second, called Fred- erie the Great. By John S. C. Abboit. New York: Harper & Bros. It is unfortunate for t his biographies of the two Napo- rved to give him the name of an dauby historian, but whether the causti¢ criticisms upon those works have had their effect, or the temptation in this case is not so gteat, it is certain that his life of Frederic is Teajly a valuable contribution to hist wieal lite- rature. Untiring industry must be conceded to Abbott, and he has produced in a single volume a narrative written with considerable spirit, pre- senting all the material facts of the cap- tain’s public and private career. e recent important military and political events in Europe serve to give new interesé to the career of founder of an empire proved to be the most powerful upon the globe. ‘The book is profusely illustrated, and very handsomely printed. The Life and Timesof Lord Henry Brougham, written by himself. In three volumes. Vol. li. New York: Harper and Brothers. This yolume of Brougham’s autobiography treats to a considerable extent upon his contest with the British ernment on the famous “orders in covnell,” resulting in the war with America, but the main portion is given tothe history of the career of Queen Caroline and her trial, in which be took so conspicuous a part in her defence. Of ccur.c Brougham, with his intense cgotiom, has ssade bimsel€ the central figure in the history of this affair; and by his explicit directions to his executor ‘not a line of the autobiography was to be changed; io the fditor has bad no diseretion in the way of re- vision. Yet a man, thou filled vo important a position in pul Lord Brougham, ‘s interesting when garrulons, and the more so, perhaps, when he is garrulous. The Student's Elements of Geology. By Sir Charles Lyell, Bart., F. R. S. New York: Har- perand Brothers. Ths book may be said to be a recast of the various elementary works of Lyell on geology, which have run through so many edi ors, but it deals a’ o with the later discoveries. It is remarkable in copiousness of illustration, haying over six hundred euts. The Cousin from India. By Gcorgiana M. Craik. New York: Harper Bros. A story fi girls, with a bit of a moral but no perceptible termorizing—a capital book tor the little ones. “For Lack of Gold.” By Charles Gibbon; from the “Library of Select Novels.” by the Harpers. Sarchedon. A Legend of the Great Queén By G. J. Whyte Melville. New York: D. Apple- ton & Co. From J. C. Perker we have— “ My Heroine. A Story.” This is No. 34 of the *Libraiy of Choice Novels” usued by the App'etors. From J. Shillington we have the following re- publications in cheap and convenient style by the Petersors: “The Last Aldini;” alove story by George Sand. ** Horace Temp'eton;” anovel by Charle Lever. ‘The Sower's Reward;” by the author of “Mary Powell.” “Edmond Dantes. A quel to the * Count ef Monte Cristo.’ ” From the National News Company we have— ‘The Dictionary of Every Day Difficultics in Reading, Writing and Speaking. New: York: Frank Lestie’s Publishing Hovse. This useful book furnishes an epitome of those terms, vhrases and expressions which poezie the ordi- pary reader, and is adapted more particularly for the use of the numerous class of sel‘-educi students. = The Woman estion in California. Elizabeth Cady Stanton is making a decided sensation in Calivornia on the woman question, and the San Francisco Bulletin says her lectures there have drawn immense crowds, and that a “‘certain indescribable genuineness about her, gains tor her a firm place in the sympathies of California audiences.’ In a lecture there on «Our Young Girls,” she dwelt upon the disad- vantages under which women labor who have an individual aim and Ese through lite. The world denies her a field for ambition. It Tternishes no career for woman, and she is ta- booed if she steps out of the e ‘ntiona! beaten path. Surely the battle of life is hard enough sor the boy, but it is ten fold harder for the girl. “For example,” said she, ‘look at Vinnie Ream, really a bright, beautiful little girl, with + love for her art. She has done well, and dis- played great artistic skill, considering the ad- antages at her hand. But see how she has been nded by the press because she was engaged Congress to form a statue of Abraham Lin- coin. That is a good statue. I have seen it, and it is exactly like the original. You all know that Abraham Lincoln was an awkward, ungainly man. Is it expected of an artist to remodel » subject and present the likeness unlike the original? The Capitol at Washington is filled ith daubs of prominent men, all made by men artists, and never one of these many—all of which are poorer than Vinnie Ream’s statue of a ever been hounded as she has n.”” tena ‘To ne Marniep THIs MoxTH.—On the 15th of September Jerome Bonaparte. of Baltimore, will be married to Mrs. Edgar, of New Orleans, granddaughter of Daniel Webster.

The British war steamer Ringdove had re- turned irom Corea with two Englishmen cap- tured by the Coreans from the wreck of the Chusan. They had been kindly treated. The German re; by the Chinese as having been captured at the same time was found t> have lett with the Chinese, and it is supposed that the Chinese murdered him and invented the story of his capture by ihe Coreans to conceal their own crime.

The letter was delayed fer a fow hours, and in the meanwhile the Wachusett sailed without it. The German iron schooner Valador has been wrecked in the Corean straits The crew es- caped in boats, and were picked up after suffer- ing great re ee panese politics were quiet. The tea are abundant.
