2 — NOTICES OF NEW PUBLICATIONS. “ Opnisr tue Sriarr,"’ be an Attempt to state tthe Primitive View of Christianity, By the au- thor of * Remarks on Alchemy and the Alche- mists,” aud “Swedenborg a Hermetic Philoso- pher."” By James Miller, 922 Broadway. Tho work bofore us sooms inspiroa with a true spirit of roligions Cervor, end exhibits evidences of 9 widely ox- tended resoarch among the ancient philosophers and his- torians that cannot fail to render tt an important aeq sition not only to the theological student, but toall p sons eugaged in literary and scientife pyrguits. ‘The author seoks to establish the fact tha: the writers of the Now Tastament bolongad to a secret society, called the Kssenes, who flourished im Judea at tho time of the advent of Chri and who are described by Philo und Josophus as boing a holy brotherhood who devoted thoir lives to philosophy and the study oftheir sagred books, who shared 4heir property in common, in possession off secret, which they guarded greatest care from the ‘ without,” and tanght a cally to their initiates, In referenco to the pec opinions ef the Essences, we roceive mach interesting tnformation; The ‘' without’? wero tho Pharisees and Sadv.cees, whom the'+Holy Brothren’? regarded as no bettor than somany swing and dogs. Their secret was their Knowledge of the spirit of the law of Mosos, with regard to which they wrote in symbols in their own works. ‘This seeret the author regards 2a that of the “Temple of Solomon,” of which the Free Masons of our own day claim @ knowiodge, The Masons are descended from tho Essenes, aud arojustly proud of their lineage, ‘The whole account which the book gives of their character at this early poriod of tho world, and of the frightful modes of initiation to which their disciples submitted, ts ex- coodingly interesting, and at the samo time inst. uctive, ‘The Fssones, a8 wo have already observed, hel peculiar opinions with regard to the Old Testament, believing that tho unioa of its letter and spirit, corresporiding to the body and goul of man, constituted it # “living being” and the oxpress image of the Deity. This doctrine thoy taught in the Gospels, and rofer to it the many myste- rious expressions which constantly occur in those sacred dooks “Christ the Spirit” isin two parta. The first volume is devoted to a developement of the author’s theory; the second gives an application of his views in an espe cial interpretation of the Gospel of St. John, With re. gard to this interpretation too much cannot be said in praise, Tholight which it casts over spiritual truths, ‘and tho dopths of insight with which it establishes their authority, render its publication an important event, if not an era in the history of religion: Tus whole volume is interspersed with suggestions with regard to tho literature of the Middle Ages and oortain of our modern authors, which open up fields of speculation of great valuo,and which, to the ordinary student, have boon comparatively unknown. Apart from the literary value which cannot fail to at. tach to “Christ the Spirit,” in whatever way tt may be considered, an additional interest is added to it by tho fact that it is the work of Gonoral Hitchoook, oneof the principal officers of the American army, Whose military reputation is widely known,and who, having satisfied himself with the glory of an active career, has now, it would seem, in the peaceful years of his rotirement, ‘addod the crown of the philosopher, and we might almost say of the post, to the laurels that he had already won. Pitorma oF Fasmion—A Family History. By Kinahan Corowallis. Harper & Brothers, pub- lishera, The book bofore us is well written, but a free, boid, clevyor sketch rather thaa a finished picture. It ta little the worae, however, for thst. We are disposed to think that the idiosyacracies of the author lod him to aim at producing oxactiy what he has ac. complished, aud that, according to the design, so is ths result. From the fact that the period embraced in the book is agarly ninsty years, and that four generations of the same family successively. appearon tho stage, the ‘cope for laboration is yery wide, and the materials in- cluded tn this novel would have been ample had the author chosen for a work three times its size. But he has com. tonted himsolf with dashing off in a few easy strokes tho saliont characteristics of his dramatis persona; and 80 far he hea been perfectly successful. The tale, which is bold in outline, is one of every Gay life, and the characters in it are the every day Pilgrima that we mect tm and out of what is con- ventionaily called the fashionable world; and the victasitudes of the family of which it professes to be the Listory—their loves, their hates, thoir sorrows, their foys—are stirring and well told, The knowledge of uaractor and experience of the world which the book udicates are very considerable. The story commences Eagiand, then changes to Germany,and then to the ‘nitod States, where we have some effectively drawa Pooues relating to the present war, ths description of Bho battle of Bull run (pp. 291 to 303) being highly exciting and pictorial. There ts also a shipwreck doscribed with a power and reality which make us roaltze a full sonae of all thé horrors of tho situation, and amore torribls one tt would be difflcult to imagine. The samo may be said of the description of the burning ship, which is animated, vivid, and oven thrilling. Ono of tho author's groatest excollences is that he makes his cha- racters talk as pooplo really do talk. The book is thickly studded with diaquisitions on the moralities of life, which are healthy in tone and sound in logic. The stylo 1s free and flowing, glowing and picturesque. Tho language employed i always good, the sentiments expressed invariably generous, and the morality of tho book entirely unmimpoachable. It bas, more- ovor, the quality of being amusing, and it is always Spirited. Ths plot may not be as intensely exciting as the lovors of tho Minerva press might desire; but it is skilfully comstructed, and suffictently interesting to sus tain tho reader's attontion from boginning toend. Yet St snot ao mach @ good story, as a story with a great any good things im it. It combines admirably the novo! ant tho essay, and it is {ts very merit in this respoct which may make it appear hoavy to thoso whose taste has boon vitiated by reading the ordinary works of fiction of the day. But the effect is wholesome, and the work is to be commended even on that account. Th: freshness and originality of the book, and the boldness with which it rofers to tho falsoness and holiowness of conventional society, will recoramend it to every honest thinker, aad it is a work which genuine thinkers will ‘@ppreciate more than the majority of more romanco readers, and one which ig not to be judged by the ordi- nary novel stapdard, That the author has mot put forth his full power fn this book, good as it is, but written in undue haste, 1s, howover, apparent. It is tho unambitious effort of a man who could have successfully executed a much Greater and more claborate design. If he only chooses bestow the necessary labor upon it he is evidently capable of writing @ story worthy to rank with the bost of English novels. We decline to judge of his capabilities as @ novelist by this one short story, whioh, with all ite excellence and fidelity to nature, will, we (ool assured, be surpassed by him in the future, if it haa not boen tn the past, and if wo venture the supposi- tim that the first half of tho present yolume was written several years ago and laid aside, oniy to bo hurriedly finishod within a very recent period, wo do tho work no injustice. Cortain it is that the latter half of tho book is the bost, aud shows more decidedly the pen of the practised writer, The most conspicuous merit of the presont work is the graphic and life like vigor of tho descriptive portions, which indicate a quick and discriminating eye for the picturesque, rapid powers of combination and a true fooling for nature, Add to this @ wholesome, largo. hearted sympathy with his fellow mon, which ts another of the author's. loading charactoristics, and we think we have said cnough to induco our readers to get the book and judge for thomselves, Tun Beoxen ENGAGEMENT; oR, Spraxixa tHe Tevrm ron A Day.

SHEET. ae Pranx Lesvie’s Prorontan Hisrory or ras Wan. Edited by E. G. Squier. Mr. Squier ought to be congratulated upon bis good fortune, In tho first piace, be has appropriated to him- Self the subject of the moment before it wos pounced upon by any other of the craving family of authors, In the second, he hag found a publisher who not only saw the valus of the work when enggested to him, but had facilites for bringing it out ia @ manuer calculated to make his foresight a certainty. Fina!ly, he poss 1 the requisite intellectual ability. However, where the tact to select a really excelent subject oxists we may be tole- rably sure that the ability to treat it ably willbe @ co. existent faculty. Atany rate, it is solu the present in- stance, Mr. Squier is botn a.koon and subdue thinker and an adie writer, and h $ domonstrated his ability in the present history more clearly than many might have de- lieved he would do im the prosecution of a task demand. ing such au undiased aadazapartial judgment. ‘The per- son who might easually-glancs across tho pages “of. the first part of this history might, peréhance, be disposed to urge that it is merely @ Compilation of facts, and that litvo talent was required to arrangs its dixjet: membra in thoir present form; but a judgment formed so rapidly would be ominently unit Let him read it carefully through and we will guaratitee a Widoly different judg. ment upon his part. Mr. Squier’ has porformed his wearisome labor with @ discrimination and taot which have evidently been matured by careful study and labor, and we cannot but express our conviction that this work, if completed in the same styl g that it has been commenced, mast give him the very highest position asa writer of cotemporaneous history. We say as “a writor,” because, in thoss portions of the volume which are writin by himself, he displays an ability and acumon of the most aterling class. In every respoct patriotic, ho is not blindly disposed te praiseal! ‘hat our generals or statesmon may have done. In Driof, ho is a cool, logical aud energetic thinker, whose judgment nevor allows personal feeling to cloud or over- balance his reason. But in spoaking of the editor we are well nigh forget- ting the publisher—Mr. Frank Leslie. Even beauty is not indopendent of the aids of the toilot; nor is a volume, however able, independent of the mechanical style in which it is set before the paying public. The style of the present volume is due to Mr. Leslie alone, and owing to the unexampled facilities ho posse: ed for making it what itis. As the proprietor of an il- lustrated paper published in this city, he had artiats in his employment in every portion of the country where the present deplorable conflict is taking place, and his professional Knowledge of wood engraving join- ed in enabling him to produce what may fair- ly be considered model pictorial history. Tp addition, charts and maps of tho various sections of the country are prodigally abundant, while ho bas shown an accurate appreciation of the epicurean taste of the reading world of the day in the splendor with which he has worked off the volume at present upom our writing table. In moro paper and print it stands com. pletely alone, when compared with its low price. A folio in form, each separate number consisting. of sixteen pages, thickly illustrated, and printed with the perfection only attainable by the publishers of fllustrated works, it 4g priced at twenty-five cents, or less than the price of a daily paper during ihe fortnight of which it contains the pictoriat history. Large as its circulation now is, we Predict that it will be more than quintupled before the close of this year, should the unhappy stfuggle it chroni- cles be prolonged through the wholo of that period. Ysars Arounp tHe Worip. By John Guy Vassar. Carleton, Publisher. ‘This is a very interosting and valuable work of travel, the production of a gentleman who has probably travolled more than any-other American, and certainly far more than travellers better known to fame; such, for instance, as Bayard Taylor and Madame Pfeiffer. {t is surpris- ing that he should have abstained from publish. ing so long, but better late than never, and be has given us here a large and handsome volume full of the reminiscences of the period indicated in the title. Tho work is arranged in the form of letters the first being dated Havana, 1839, and tho last, ant hun- dred and sixty- \, Island of San Miguel, Azoros, 1860. Almost every part of Europe seems to have been visited by him, and of each.of tho places referred to we have pleasant and graphic desoriptions, together with innume- rable incidents of travél and anecdotes of the people with whom the author came in contact. Asia, Africs and Amorica have been very extensively covered by his travels, and a mere enumeration of the principal places at which he has been a sojourner would exceed the limits at our disposal. He seems to have been equally at home ‘atSierra Leone, Canton, Calcutta, Buenos Ayres and Lima, and to have journeyed about the world with a keen observation of nature and human nature under their different aspects. Now, having seen nearly all, we canimagins him a goographicul Alexanier, sitting down to mourn that he has no more worlds to travel over. Howovor, his book is @ pleasant sowseair, and & record of which ho may well be proud, It contains tho honest impressions of a conscientious, intelligent, edu- cated and literary traveller. It is well written, enter- taining and instractive, and possesses a permanent in- terest which will make it @ valuable addition to all libraries. Casey's Inrantry Tactics. Three vols. 16 mo. D. Van Nostrand, New York, publisher. The above is the title of the new infantry tactics for the use of the army, compiled and revised by Brigadier General Silas Casey, late colonel in the United States regu- lararmy. From acursory examination of this work, it sooms that it is more complete and comprehensive than either Scott's or Hardee's tactics. The author enjoys a high reputation asa tactician among military moa. Tho War Department, in consideration of the high value of the work, and the efforts of its author to advance the good of the service, has orderod a large number of copies for examination, and Major Gonoral McCiclian his an- thorized General Casey to use tho work ag a text book for his entire division. Interesting from Liberia. OUR MONROVIA CORRESPONDENCE. Moxrovia, Liberia, Jan. 17, 1862. The Legislature in Session—A Free Opinion of ike Capacily of Members—The President's Messige—Iis Retations with England—The Treatment of the Congoes Again—Native Wars on the St. Paul River—Sad Case of a Boston Ves- wl, dc., dc. Tho Amorican schooner Thriver, of Boston, arrived hore on the $ih inst. in a very unfortunate eondition. ‘Sho had boen in the vicinity of Goreo, whore her captain ran her into one of the rivers and hove her down to cop. per her bottom. The result was that very shortly aftor she returned to sea nearly all hands on board wore se- verely attacked with the African fever. Capt. Leonard Small, of East Boston, died on the 2d inst.,and the se- cond mato and twogailors (ail Portuguese) haye since diel. The second mate was buried here. Tho Logisiature convened in this city on the first Mon- day in December. It is composed of honest men. Though some of them are talented, aud some possessed of alittle general information, most of them are wholly unqualified for the discharge of legislative duties. It isthe most uninformed of all deliberative bodies among negroes either in this country or the States; none can takea higher rank in uncalightened understanding than the Le- gislature of Liberia, The present one, however, is above the average, It ls not because there are no able men in this country; but the standard of our law makers bas been regul: by political chicapery. ‘The moss of i’resident Bonson was moderate in length; but @ accompanying documents protracted it to an almost eaprecoduntod len bh. “ Under date of July 11 informed you of the unpleasant feclings existing between this goveroment and England. The people assembled in a public meeting to deny 1: when they saw it inthe Herat. The message, howover, showed vory plainly that our relations with hor Majesty's government were in @ very unsatisfactory state. Ques- tions of jurisdiction are now under conaiderai. m, and tho naval flag officer of England on this station is dafly ex- pected here to examine the validity of the political juris- diction which we claim over the Gatlenag country. Some reference is mare to the Congo question. LHe promises to furnich satisfactory information of their condition. Of course al that you may hear from the President or the physicians in reference to the recaptured Africans will be favorable. These Congoes here are under the care of the government aad its ollicers, and of course wx ¢ 4 ‘hat goes abroad is a favorable one; but if the facts wore Feally known to the United States government how little care and consideration are given to Congoes by go- verament officers, how they have been half starved, and how littie modical attouiion is bostowed upon thom, coupled with tho indiiforenco, negiect and coutempt with which the Benson govornment regards everything con- nootol with the Congoos, always excepting the $100 al- lowed by tho Untied States govorumont, frestaent Bon- fon would be hell toa severe accountability for not ful- Gilling his part of the compact on behalf of Liberia, Whatever may be sail of the merabers of the present Legislature, they can never bo soduced into the support of the President's policy on tho Congo quostion, thoogh thoy aro every one of his party. The management of t Congo money has been so palpably wrong that not even his own party in the Legislature will endorse it.

To that association, we are also indebted for the en- lightened recognition they have made, as tho distin- guished representatives of an intelligent commercial community, that the subject of currency is cssontially, & practical, not a merely theoretic question, and that its true elements of excellonce congist in the confidence on- tertained By the public, in the’basts of its responsibility together with its perfect freedom from disguises or con? cealments , especially if governed and regulated by limits and restrictions intelligent, reliable and comprehensive. It is thus that the government currency has been fa- vorably introduced, as an inauguration of incalculable value, insuring for it the faithful co-operation of aipatri- Otic and effective public opinion, which, properly direct- ed, would stand potential under the influence of a reso- lute and undaunted spirit. It is nevertheless neces. sary, to insure perfect success, that the business men or the country should make a practical demonstration of their entire willingness and their determination to respond with confidence, in the expectation that tho government will act in concert, not unmindful of the im, portance of pursuing a course of moderation and concilia. tion. In the preliminary introduction of an untried ex- periment, greatcare and caution should Oe evinced, in order to guard against any collision of an unfriendly character. In venturing on a radical change, there must ever be somo danger, especially if ignorance, or prejudice should attempt to create the impression that there wil! arise a hostile interferonce with any valuable established privileges, the offspring of political franchises. If, as has been surmised, there cannot be a concurrence of action, between the currency furnishod by the banks and that of the government, thon there may be substan- tial grounds for the belief that the old system of supply is essentially defective. If tho bank circulation be, as is pretended, the faithful representative of the precious metals, there can pe no difficultypit will maintain its position of assumed suporiority, leaving no excuse to the managers of those institutions for withholding their eon- fidence and support from the publi¢. Instead of derange- ment or embarrassment, paper of oqual and uniform value everywhere, ought to be appreciated by them, as of ines- timable importance, in checking the improvident ebbs and flows of specie to the remotest sections of the country. In the present situation of the government finances, the duty is imporative,as a suoject of vital necessity, that every aid and assistance should be proffered; there ought to bo no hesitation, no holding back; the responsibility ig not less obligatory on those who doubt, than on those ‘who feel confidence in the practical wisdom of the government measures. It will not do for the banks or leading capitalists, to fold their arms, with in, difference to the wants of the Treasury, and the im- pending dangers of general distross, while it is certain that the government cannot fail in its measure of permanent relief without involving the whole country in a complete state of bankruptcy. It would be impossi- ble to stop the current; its flows would prove everywhere destructive. The immediate necessities of government ‘must be supplied with liberality and ;the army must bo satisied—there can be fofaltoring in the pay ment of its dues. If governmout canmot obtain officient means to insure success, through the ordinary and legiti«- mate sources of revenue, there may, then, be ample cause toapprebend that extraordinary’ measures will bg resort- @d to—forced loans.and conacriptions. Toa ity enlightqped and intelligent as that of the United States, it isscarcely necessary to state that, if the public reye- ‘nues could not be collected, through the agency of inde- pendent currencies, running in autagon'stic course: must prove powerle;s for any useful purpose. In such an unfortunate state and condition of our financial affairs it ig easy to anticipate what must be the result. It would end in the introduction of martial law; the banks would be made to disgorge; their assets would be seized, for the purpose of discharging the civil and military expenses, with the additional assurance that, in case ofany serious embarrassment, our armies would be compelled to seck their sustenance wherever it could be found. If the Treas ary currency be not made efficientand avail- ‘able there will bea crisis; it cannot be otherwise; and, in such an event, the progress to a chaos will be certain and inevitable. 9 situation of the country would then bec me appalling, and, what is worse, it could not be avoided; consequently there should be uo demonstration of discavor, marring the successful movements of the na- tional currency. Should there be any emergencies lead- ing toa general distress, the legal tender qualification would prove valueless. Important as that provision is, it would, rtheles, nt give circulation to the cur: rency, aé a common medium of exchange. Under such circumstances, should bank influences and business trans- actions impede iis progress, the respouribility will fall on them, From such an tlijudged casualty, there could be no prospect of escape. Therefore, for many oby lous reasons and motives, it is absolutely necessary that the government currency should not only have the prefer. ence, but that it short be poets the familiar medium in ali mercantile negotiations. ff this be done, and the banks do their duty wisely, influenced by a proser spirit of liberal ty, it will then be divcovered that tho best in- torests of the couatry have been conserved, with every prospect of a renewal of general prosperity. If, how- evor, they hesi(aio and withhold their assis:ance, they will incur @ responsibility of no ordivary magnitude; the > aimed ‘will not be limited to a mere monetary ques- ion. It is easy to foresee, under such circumstances, what wil! be the fatal consequences of an avalanche of ‘Trea- |, thrown broadcast on tho country, with- out having auy legitimate rest'ng place, indicative afriendly patronage. The result would be to compel the banks, nolens volens, to tender their feeble services to effect a reconstruction after the paralyzing derangement had commenced. If, On the other ey the be ery sa and energetic co-operation, they will soon fn truth of the almost infallible rule, that tho fiscal services of auy quantum of currency will be found to consist im the in- verse ratio of the activity and velocity of the circu- lation; and, as a’corollary to this proposition, the inference is that there would be no probability of an overissuc. If the public credit remains firm, with tho necossities of the Treasury well ied, and no false movement be made with rogard to the currency, there will horcafter be no ‘Treasury diffcultics; ample menns would bo obtained — the legitimate process of loans. Under this management of our fiscal affairs there could be no danger of a depression in the value of the currency. Consequently the improvised difculties, in- disereetly and imprudently apprehended, that debts and @ontracts would be paid or settled on the principles of an unsound medium, will prove fallacious. It is to no pur- pose that gentiemen the possibility of an over- issue, while they admit the « xelusive right of Congress to regulate the coiuage—a power of sovereign character, the attribute of pationality—forgetting that this exclusive power has often been, and may be again, exercised on terms of unlimited abuse, in debasing the metallic cur- renc Laci in conferring on it an overvalu I hope to be able to prove to the satisfaction of the most astute political casuisis, that Congress bas the exclusive and absolute control ever the national currency, and that tt would have been at variance and entirely inconsistent with the character of a perfect n: tional sover ignty there should exist any constit: tional restré In go doing J shall endeavor to ahow that this exclusiveness of Congressional power over the cur- rency ultimately became the matured deliberate judg- ment, conviction and practice of the pudative fathor of the federal constitution, Madison, DER HAMILTON, ALEXA) The Rose Will Case.

Ne ‘The London Athenqum publishes a ictter of three colmnns length, from the pen of Mr. Maury, late a cem- mander in the navy of the United States, addressed to Roar Aamiral Fitz Roy, Royal Navy. Tho preface orrs, very naturally, in supposing. Mr, Maury “neither a partisan nor a politician.” Howover, twenty-one years absence from soa duty, associating, consulting and “wirepulling” in Washington, made Mr. Maury, lato @ commander in the Unitod S. ies Navy, nothing but a partisan and a politician; he was an officer in name and ip.rank; in all else he was one of those who brought about an attempted disruption of the Union, whicn has already made tho South bankrupt, and wit’, if the civil war continues six months longer, destroy sia. very, audwith it, according to Mr, Maury's echooi and he assertions of his friends, every hope of a republican form of government, and all those superior develope ments, Supposed by thomgo much to be onviod, in thie Progress, social, moral and political,.of their favored region. ¢, Mr. Maury bogina by asserting that ‘My country was orn; the Union'was gone; a number of States had ro- nounced it. In this breaking up of our once bappy and great republic, it became mo to take sides.” MreMaury does not. do himself justice\in this viow, deploring what, he for the pasttwenty years had been aiding to bring | abort, It ig believed that he'can claim the authorship of that trite proverb of ‘Cotton ia King,” and, if #0, he has not borne in mind-Goueral Washington's ady'co, which he aliudes to afterwards. In connection with ‘King tive to state that, although the ré over which he is cultivated is of great goog ‘extent, yet ho is the produce of two anda half millions of blacks, and, with proper cultivation, of a breadth of about three millions of ‘acres, or &n area of the tenth part of the State of Georgia in oxtent. It isnot improbable that ‘King Cotton” may be able to find a domain and subjects olsewhere. “In order, to reign he may be willing. to pay the laborer bis hire insome part of the world Mr. Maury endeavors to correct an impression 90 revaicnt, both at homo and abroad, that heretofore the [egislasion of tbe country bas ‘doen in the power of the slave States, and of persons who held their views, and says, with his happy faculty, the South has been com- pared tom spoiled child, who, having long played with a borrowed toy, becomes raving when it istaken away from him. Mr. Muary then, in an argument of a column in length, or a summary of griefs, shows that after all the popular idea at the North and abroad is not far wrong; that the encouragement held out to “settlers” on our public lands had induced emigrants from Europe, anc vd that we in a spirit of vain glor, ceiect aag South) had not given auton! credit ie the. and entdy’ oan ton’ it may be instruc. grant laboring men, who dug the tunnels, laid the rails, reared proud » ‘@nd were more than worthy of their hire.

Mr. Maury states that he fights with a price upon his head and a halter around his neck.
