Southern Literary .Nesseuger.-In
another column will be found Pros
pectus for the ensuing volume of this
excellent monthly, to which we invite
particular attention. 1t is not inferior
TO the best Of the northern periodicals.,
and ought to be literally patronised by
the Southern people.
E%We call attention to The message
of GOVERNOR SALYARDs, to the New
Market "Imitative Legislature.
The organization Of associations, to
investigate the measures, resources,& &C.,
of our state cannot fail to elicit vast
amount Of important information, as
well as many curious facts, connected
with our past history. IF the members
of our legislature had more correct
views of the real condition of the diff
ferent sections Of the State, the resour-
ces and interests Of which differ so ma
terialiy from each other, we should see
nothing of those sectional jealousies
and prejudices which too frequently
govern their actions. In no way can
this information be better obtained,
than in the manner which our New
Market friends have adopted. Let 9TH
ervillages and communities follow their
example. Let properb books be purcbas-
ed;and among the works from which a
vast amount Of pertinent information
may be obtained, we would mention
HowE's HISTORY OF VIRGINIA, re-
Gently published.

Those Questions.-We have not
received an answer to the question for
surveyors, recently published. Sure
" there are some among our numerous
practical surveyors in the county who
can get the answer to it. We would
also remind our young friend Querist,
that he has not sent in his reply to the
query SUBMITTED to him by H. Don't
be discouraged--don't give it up
for you know the old song says, at
never will do for to give it up so, Mr..
Brown" The authors of,he questions
which have been submitted concerning
"that vine, ''do not design to confound,
or discourage their Juniors in learning,
but are ready to instruct and assist
them in their march mp the chill ofsci-
ence." lfyou can't solve the ques-
tons propounded, do the best you can,
and if your answer is not correct, you
will be corrected, and thus you will
h. enabled 10 edo better next time.
