AN ORIGINAL NOVEL.

=
A special feature for the present volume will
be the publication Of an Original NoreI. the
uscript Of which, has been purchased for the pur
pose. The publication of this novel will COM
me nee 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
be printed to bring it to a conclusion before the
close Of the volume. This novel will open to
the reader a field Of American traditions,
entirely untouched by Irving, Cooper, any Of
writers of historical fiction. The scene OF
the story is in North Carolina, Just prior 10 th,.
Revolution, and it embodes in the form Of an
entertaining fictitious narrative, a mass of his
torical traditions respecting the early settleme
Of the Caroinas, which, If we mistake not, " III
give quite a new aspect to that part of our
tiona history. The writer, Mr.. WILEY VINO,
has contributed a short tale to present num-
ber is a native Of North Carolina, and has ira
vcrsed carefully all that part Of the country which
he has made the scene Of his story, for the pur
pose Of giving the greater fidelity and accuracy
to his desc ptOns. Without violating any Of
his secrets, we may venture to tell his readers in
advance, that he has thrown interest, (some-
thing like that with which genius has invested
the abode of the knickerbockers) over even the
"Dismal Swamp and that not less dismal line
Of sandy, harborless sea beach, which stretches
for hundreds of miles south of Cape Fear.
Another feature will be series of Stories by
Professor ALDEN, of Williams,own, Mass, illus
trating the times of the early puritans.
Kew. JOHN Todd, H. H., OF fittSfleid, Mass,
will continue to contribute New England BE-
gends, Of which "Tomo Of the Wild Lakes. in
the January number, is Il fair specimen.
