The New York Nation makes the following re-
marks on " New America :"—" It is not surprising that
many charges of misrepresentation come from various
quarters against Mr. Hepworth Dixon and his last book.
There are numerous reasons for believing that the author
of " New America" had made his theories of American
life before making his first observations of it. The
Oneida community has honoured the author who, alone
of authors, has honoured it, by devoting its evenings
to the reading of his book, and Mr. J. H. Noyes, who is
the head and front of that "Bible family," republishes in
The Circular the chapters that relate to him and his society,
correcting, in foot-notes or long articles, the more im-
portant errors, but occasionally abandoning the attempt
when Mr. Dixon blunders too hopelessly. Tho commu-
nity appears, however, to be in the best of humours.
But quite other is the mood of a respected corre-
spondent of ours, who holds a high judicial office
in Colorado, and writes us from Denver as follows :-
1 "In his effort to make a readable book, Mr. Dixon has
armed with bowie-knives and pistols the people who re-
side in the State of Kansas and the Territory of Colorado ;
has clothed them in grotesque, outlandish costume, and
given them semi-barbarous manners ; of all which I com-
plain. I trust that no one will be deterred from visiting
Atchison, Kansas, through fear of meeting at the break-
fast table 'a jolly set of dogs, each dog with a bowie-knife
in his pocket, a six-shooter in his belt,' as narrated on p.
14. lam persuaded that those dogs' visit the breakfast
table only when men of Mr. Dixon's imaginative faculties aro
present ; for 1 have been at Atchison several times myself,
and I have not seen them at the breakfast table or elsewhere."
Our correspondent agrees with Mr. Bowles—we presume
it is Mr. Bowles who, in the Springfield Republican, showed
up some of Mr. Dixon's mistakes—in casting much doubt
on Mr. Dixon's narrative of the perils he encountered on
tLe plains, and speaks still more tare
of of the tale
of terror (p. 55) about a certain Jack Dunkier, whom r.
Dixon depicts riding into Denver with the leg of an
Indian warrior slung to his saddle—a leg which he had
cut from the trunk;
stripped off the scalps of five Sioux braves—and
having previously, by the way
on which he had been feeding for five days :—" During
a residence in Denver of more than six years," says
our correspondent, "I have not hoard of Mr. Dixon's
valiant cannibal, and I venture the assertion that no cre-
dible citizen of Denver will affirm that any one ever ap-

citizens of Denver and Colorado generally
are traduced, this writer says, w when they are spoken of as
gamblers, drunkards, bloodthirstyh scoundrels.
A New York paper says Dr. J. G. Holland has
been busily engaged during the past winter upon a long
poem—one of the longest and most elaborate
nAmerican
poems ever written. It is well advanced, and will be
published in the autumn fall by Scribner and Co.
Five of the newspapers in lowa are edited by
women.
