newspapers of Virginia have contained many a
handsome compliment TO his story and his compo.
sition.-The Editor Of the Norfolk Herald has
given very copious extract from its pages, (and
we are sorry that our columns are at present so
much crowded as TO deny as the pleasure OF Civ
ing similar sample.) The Editor has accompa-
MED his quotations with decided panegyric upon
the merits OF the Novel He Z" declares with truth,
and he thinks without too imminent hazard OF his
taste and Judgment in these matters, that he has
seldom been more interested in tale Of fiction,
than he was in perusing the pages Of :. Edge
HilP'-that the author yet is an " Unknown
but that it requires no other disclosure than the
polished and agreeable syle of his composition to
convince us that he IS man of distinguished
literary talents; and that sDhacknied he may be
in the art of novelyrng, hi. incidents are so in
geniousy woven, and the spirit Of the narrative is
so well sustained, that the reader is absolutely
forced to pursue it to the conclusion with lively
and increasing Interest,"
U'ashington Cmrespondence;-The Cores
pondents OF the Coalition papers OF the North at
"ashington,are continually serving up something
new, and dcrogatory TO Gen. Jackson or his friends
Does any man believe, for instance that what
correspondent of the Philadelphia, United States
Gazette writes is true, that mere vsiter of Gen
Jacksons, had the iinpudence 10 ask him wheth-
er he intended 10 act upon the principles of his
letter 10 Col. Monroe--and that Gen. jackson con
descended TO reply ''that he still retains these opin-
ions, and that he intended to act upon them. IAN
indignant glance from General Jackson's eve
would have been the only answer which the i'm
pertinent Querist would have received. But there
Is another piece ut information in the same letter
which show Of what stu;i'it is made of-that MIR
lazeweii, had forwarded TO Va. hi: resignation of
the office the u S Senator--No,r ,ce knor
| that the Governor laid before the Legislature
only on Wednesday last, MIR. rs acceptance Of his
re appointment.
Another oil the letter writer's states that Com
mlttees have appeared there from the Jackson par
w. In The chief cities, delegated to express the o.
Pih'ohs OF their constituents, in relation the new
| appointments which the new President is expect-
ed 10 make! " e agree with Mr.. Walsh that tins as.
seron can he hardly true. Such attempt to over
| awe Gen j. could not surely be made; or if made.
"ouin ne repealed at once.-Of the same charac-
LEI rs another assertion, that the Editor of ,be T.
egraph is attempting to dictate 10 his par,v. We
DO not believe it. IL is impossible he could make
any such attempt-for, it would recoil upon the
hea oil any man who would try the experiment II
must be cilumny ON the Eiitor of The Te,nyranb
which is only circulated for the idle purpose Of
making mischief.
vi the same silly stamp - another letter. which
would disparage the Editor OF this paper at the ex
pence 100 oil his orethren-Ihe Editor of the En-
qurer hopes indeed that he is rather too loflv TO
appear in the common bear garden of the day''
and that they are too lofty 10 soop to any such de-
graduation He has no " tale to reserve for more
prop'uous tiine"-Bui enough upon this
There Is one Washington letter which we be-
iieve 10 be correct because the writer is man
OF strict honor-lt is published in the Columbian
Tablespoonful il rum partly thus:
"AH eyes are turned TO the Congress of 1890
Tor an alteration of the Taaif and i, j. unau.--

His late correspondence with the Federasts of the

faction"-if he will give MS the Vebsfcr Letter
the original correspondence Of MIR CLAW with
