F0>IE psblic are already aware that the Union

ec,n,sr number, Mcssrs. Sartain & Sloanakcr

York TO Philadelphia. In addition, also, to the
services Of Mrs. kIRkLAND, who will continue as
heretofore, TO contribute to It's pages, the propri
rtors have engaged as an associate Editor, Pro
lessor JONI =. EAar, Of Philadelphia.
il is conf Icntly believed that til. patrons of
the Magazine will find signs Of improvement, as
well Il change. Its external appearance Is i'm
proved For evidence Of this, The reader need
only look for himself Ia the pictorial depart
neut, the Magazine may fcarlessiy challenge "a
comparison with any of lis rivals.
In respect TO the LITERARY character Of the
Magzine, 1t will be the earnest endeavor of all
cOnccr ued in its publication, to secure for il the
contributions Of the best wrtrrs the country af-
iords. lh- Proprietors have already entered int o
arrange uts for articles from al most every wri-
ter Of distinction in the United States, OF which
they offer what they claim 1" be a very rcspec Ia.

AN ORIGINAL NOVEL;
a special feature for the present volume will
DC the publication Of an Original Norsi. the man
uscript of which, has been purchased for the pur
pose. The publication of this novel will COM
mencc in the third number, and will In no case
be extended into the succeeding year, even al
though large number Of extra pages have to
he printed 10 bring il to Il conclusion before the
close Of the volume This novel will open to
the reader new field of American traditions
entirely untouched bv Irving, Cooper, or any OF
oar writer's of historical fiction. The scene Of
the story Is in North Carolina, Just prior TO the
Revolution, aud il cmbodies in the form Of an
entertaining fictitious narrative, "a mass of his.
torical traditions respecting the early settlcnlen nj
Of the Carolinas, which, il we mistake not, will
give quite a new aspect to that part Of our ma
tiOnal history. The writer, MIR. WILEY who
has contributed a short tale to present num-
her, is a native Of North Caro,ina and has tra-
versed carefully all that part Of the country which
he has made the scene of his story, for III. pur-
pose Of giving the greater fidelity and ace rae
10 his desert ,tions. Without violating any 81
his secrets, We may venture TO tell his readers in
advance, that he has thrown an interest, (some.
thing like that with which genius has invested
the abode of the knickrrbockers) over even the
"Dismal swamp and that not less dismal line
Of saniv. harborless sea beach. which stretche.
for hundreds Of miles south of Cape Fear.
Another feature will he n series Of Stories bv
Professor ALDEN. Of Wiiiiam>town, Mass, illus
trating the times Of the early puritans.
Rev. JoH> Tom, u. D., of rit,shcid Mass.
will continue to contribute New England L..
gends, Of which "romo of the w id Lakes il
the January number. is a fair specimen.
