mencc in the third number, and ,ritl in no case
be extended in to the succeeding year even although

to bring it to a conclusion before the close OF the
| volume. This novel will open to the reader IL
new field of American traditions, entirely I'm
touched by irving, Cooper, or any of our writers
of historical fiction The scene of the story is
in North Carolina, Just prior to the Revolution,
and it embodes in the form of an entertaining
fictitious narrative, mass OF historical traditions
respecting the early settlement o'the Carolinas,
which, if we mistake not, will give quite new
aspect to that part of oul national history. The
writer, Mr.. WILEY, who has contributed short
tale to our present number, is a native of North
Carolina, and has traversed carefully all that
part of the country which he has made the see
OF his story, for the purpose OF giving the great
fidelity and accuracy OF his descriptions. WIN
out violating any othis secrets, we may venture
to tell his readers in advance, thut he has thrown
an interest Something like that with which
genius has invested the abode OF the knckerboc
kerS) over even the "Dtsnal Swamp" and that
not less dismal line OF sandy, harborloss sea
beach, which stretches for hundreds OF miles
south ofCapc Fear.
