Southern Literary Messenger. We have re.
ceived the October number of this valuable period.
ical, and beg leave to say that we cordially sub.
scribe to the following notice of it by the Rich,
mond Compiler:
"The Southern Literary Messenger for Octo,
Der is upon our table, but we have not been able
to examine all its contents. The prominent fea-
ture ofthe number, is the address of the intelligent
and distinguished Harry Bluff TO the Memphis
Convention, containing many important sugges.
tions on subjects with which we have but little ac.
quaintance, and ofwhich we hesitate to express an
opinion We have, at least, been highly interest
ed in the different recommendations Of this lively
and forcible writer. We shall take an early op
porunity to present our readers with some abstracts
of his views which seem TO be commensurate in
vastness to the almost infinitely progressive imPO
lance OF the great Western world.
"We are glad to perceive, in the goodIy list Of
payments to the Messenger, an evidence Of the
prosperity which the energetic zeal ofitS excellent
Editor deserves. Whilst the spirit of Education
is rousing itself in Virginia, we hope that spI,'
it of Literature, the genial attendant Of general ed
ucation, will also be stimulated"

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

The last New Hampshire Patriot says the
Governor md Council have decided TO order an
other election in November, to Gil the vacancy in
the New Hampshire Delegation to Congress, and
the 29th of November has been fixed upon as the
day. The 9th day of November has been fixed
upon as the annual day of Thanksgiving. In re-
lation to the successor of Mr. Woodbury. in the
Senate the Patriot adds:
It seems to be expected by some, that an ap'
Senate, occasioned by the resignation of the Hon.
Levi Woodbury., will be made during the session
of the Governor and Council This duty DE-
wolves upon the Governor alone, and if distln;
guished individual to whom the appointment will
be rendered, shall not accept it, we are informed

PRENTICE AND THE PENGU1Ns.

The Columbia South Carolinian says: Prem.
tice of the Louisville Journal, Henry Clayscele
brated jester, has been amusing his master, at the
expense of South Carolina. He says,
/" The pigeons, in selecting South Carolina as
a breeding place. have discovered use for that
State not previously known. Cannot the PEN
gums be introduced to rear their young there too
BY converting herself into gnano depository,
South Carolina would become valuable to the
Union. We fear that is the only way she can be
of advantage to the confederaey." - q.
This is really witty, and we are glad to per-
ceiVe that Prentice's unrivalled powers of sar-
casm still remain unimpaired, Notwithstanding his
habits We still entertain hope that he may
be able to accept the appointment. (when Clay is
elected President) of special minister to the is
land of Ichaboe, to negotiate fora colony of Pen

" Truth is stranger than Fiction"

{" Truth IS stranger than Fiction"
The following extract from letter from gen.
tlenan in Washington City, has been handed to
US for publication by the gentleman to whom it
was addressed. The unfortunate person to whom it
refers as having been followed from place to place
by some unseen but implacable enemy, evidently
with the intention of taking his life, is truly sub
iect of commiseration. - Who the enemy is, and
what the cause of his strange and blood-thirsty
proceedings, is mystery which, yet, no one has

irnpfacable vengeaRce by some unseen and un-
known hand. He has in the last year been shot
five times: once in Oxford, Mass, once in Wor-
cester, Mass, twice here, and once while travel

thighs, in the breast and in the wrist or hand. /

two gentlemen very near to him, shot at with a
slug+o piece of lead about an inch long and half
inch thick, which passed through his hat knock
ing it off, and grazing his head; the street was
thronged with people. 1t was about six o'clock,

RAIL ROAD TO FAYETTEVILLE.

An able correspondent in the last Carolinion
advocates the building of Rail Road from Fay
etteville to Warsaw, in Duplin, to unite with
the Wilmington Road, and seems to throw cold
water upon the proposed Road between Raleigh
and Fayetteville. He says: "The people of Ra-
leigh may tell us fattering tales ofthe advantages
we should receive, [by establishing this Road.l
but who that has watched the course Of things,
can for moment suppose thai such tales will be
.veri6ed2 Indeed, from the whole scope and tone
OF the writer, we should say he had his eye more
Immediately directed to Turnpike from IFayette-
vile to the West. This, he thinks, would help
much to secure to Fayetteville good portion of
the trade ofthe State" Now, we do not pretend
to speak for the capitalists of Raleigh, nor do we
offer any thing in the shape of areply to the COR
respondent just mentioned; but one thing we will
say, and that is, that the Road, in our opinion
will most certainty go on, after whle-wilhin
what time we do not venture to predict-to the
South Carolina line and that it is for the people
of Fayetteville to say whether they will have it
go oy their doors or not. -
We have been politely furnished, by gentle
man most competent to make it, with an estimate
of the probable cost of Rail Road between this
place and Fayetteville, which we lay before our
readers:

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
i OF LAW AND Equity, under the direc-
ton of Francis ]. sTroubat esq, Of Philadelphia;
Hen. Ellis Lewis, Of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candless, esq, of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions of Eng
lish law authors without regard to priority Of claim
on the part of any American publisher. Such books
are now VIGOROUSLY too DEAR The reason is, that
as fast as they appear, they become monopolies in
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities IN
der the plea of right, acquired by the addition Of
notes of American decisions, the latter claim UNI
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers of the work now
offered to the profession throughout the Union, will
respect such titles, but will reprint the standard
British law books as fast as they emanatc from the
London market. Should new editions Of the works
of such writer's as Starke, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archbold, appear, they shall also be included;
and digests of equity and law decsions-works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at Philadelphia--shall have a
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law.
~ This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers Of 160 pages, printed on fine white paper, and
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per
