/ The publishers Of the SOUTHERN QUARTERLY
! REVIEW beG leave to enreat the attention of the
public to that Work, to return thanks for the in
variable indulgence which has smiled upon its
progress hitherto, and to express the hope that
this countenance will not be Withdrawn, now that
the publication, passing from the hands of the
former publisher into their own, makes, as II
we're, q fresh start in the pursuit of well known
PROCESS. They cannot allow themselves to doubt,
that-wih all their former contributors, with the
addition Of mary new ones, not less valuable and
distinguishe the conduct still of Mr.. w.
GILMORE SiMMs, its sole Editor during the past
year--and with the assurance which the subscri-
bers now beg leave TO give, that the work will be
henceforward issued III style very superior tn
that OF the past, on better paper, with fine new
type, and with regard TO neatness and finish,
which will leave ii second to none in the country
they will continue to receive that patronage which
thar own endeavor and the claims of such an or
gan seem reasonably TO demand.
The writers for the REVIEW include the greater
number Of the best and ablest names of the
country They represent the highest literary
talent of the South, and reflect truly, with
tive earnesmess, force, und fidelity, the reol pol
icy and the peculiar institutions OF our section.
We enuent the people OF the oouth VINO ieei
the Importance of such periodical as the Review, {,
! TO excuse It's Deficiencies, and generously lend
| themselves to its assistance. With their counte-
| nance and concurrence, 1t can become the estnb-
! lished organ of domestic opinion--the champion
of our rights and character abroad-the guide and
counsel to intellectual progress and proper taste
at home-the arena IN which the better minds OF
the country may always distinguish themselves,
and find the proper proyocation to execution and
peribrmance--thc wholesome authority to which
we may always turn for the correction and re-
straint of crude and undigested speculation. These
are all objects of the last necessity to civilized
people, who have anything to gain by enterprise,
or any thing to lose by remissness and mdifler-
ence Once more, we ask from the patrons of the
Review, indulgence for the past and such sym:
pahy and support for the future, as are due to the
| vita, interests which it faithfully serves and the
character which il seeks to establish.

| EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
TNDER this title will be published, during the
~ y,ar 1850, twenty four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizcrs who have brcon,
llusrions in the service Of the country. Every por-
tion OF the w,k will receive the careful aten-
tion and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring nument to the great men OF tho Re-
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits 70, a National Gal
ery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed 10 be superior to any that have
ever~ncen taken. In the accomplishment Of this grea
objcci he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men, MIR. Bradys
reputation has been TOO long established to need any
recommends ion. His dagucr,eotypcs in tie
highest sense the works ot ~rt, glowing with TIE soul

The drawings and engravings OF D'Avigron have
been pronounced by Europeans oil taste to be iully
equal and in some respects superior those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
l,,ciiatc supervision The Typography will be exc
cued as carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by 2S mchcs made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope; il
win therefore be comprehensive IN its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted W hose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each OF the great de-
partmcnts Of life will have its representatives, Art
and Literature are universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring
ulnent to the great men Of the Republic. whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend OF our glorious Mon, will respond TO APP
peal for encoura cement and aid in commend ble
undertaking, that its publication may make an
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
lnstrious OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly,
As no work Of this kind hos appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place ii

Beauties OF EMANCIPATION eorrespon-
dent of the New York Herald, writing from
Point Petre, under date of May 25ib, h IS the
following:
Allow brother Of the press, who has been
always received by your kindness, to give you
an account of the miseries of this poor colony.
Since the events which took place in France,
the French colonies have become the prey of
the most ardent socialism. The negroes taught
by this Internal school, have refused to work on
the plantations, and have invaded the cities,
where, in the most abject misery, they lead dis
orderly life. Our government, fearing the reign
of socialism in France, could not show firmness
enough to struggle against this state of things;
consequently there is no more production on the
island. Twenty-tbrce thousand casks of sugar
will be the crop of this year, while in I847 the
island produced seventy tn ousand there is
therefore no more commerce Bankruptcies
have succeeded the withdrawal of the funds by
the capitalists. Ships come in ballast, and are
unhappily, compelled to go back in ballast.
Such state Of things cannot continue the
misery is extreme, the despair is profound, and
the emigration of several rich families has crown
ed our troubles

SIR-l have the honor to report, that in obedi-
ence to your instructions, l made re-examina-
ton Of Hatteras Inlet in June last, and found
many changes from the reconnaissance of the pre-
vious year.
The entrance between the outer breakers has
shifted more to the northward and eastward and
nearer the beach. The east point has washed
away, and made more to the northward and east
ward in Pamlico Sound. The west point has
made more out into inlet towards the northward
and eastward.
There is between the outer breaker from ten to
twenty feet at mean low water, and twelve feet
can be carried up to good anchorage inside the
sand spits Six feet can be carried over the bulk
head into Pamlico Sound.
A suice has opened to the northward of the east
point of the inlet, which makes good harbor for
small vessels. / would not recommend buoys to
be placed in the inlet, as it is not in permanent
condition, and they might therefore mislead if any
change should occur
For this reason, as well as that the tide runs so
strong that vessels are in danger Of being swept
upon the numerous sand spits or shoals, would
advise all vessels unacquainted with the inlet, to
take pilot, who may be obtained by hosting
their flag at the FORE
would recommend buoy to be placed on Long
Shoal in Pamlico Sound, to prevent vessels touch
ing on it, and as a good guide in making for the
bukhead from the Sound side.

The Riot IN ScoTTsvILLE--We understand
that the rowdies who were engaged in the mob
at Scottsvillc on Monday night, and who had
the pleasure and satisfaction of beating and half
drowning negro, continued their "sport" on
Wednesday, and added greatly to the intense
enjoyment of it by maltreating in the most bru-
tai manner colored woman, the wife of the OBJ
ject of their refined amusement on Monday night.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, in open day, a
crowd of brutes, led on by a man Of property in
the village, the same who led the previous mob,
went to the house of the colorcd man when he
was absent at work, seized his wife, dragged
her from her house, showered her with pals of
cold water threatened her with coat of tar and
feathers if she did not leave town immediately.
and bestowed upon her all the abuse their brutal
instincts could suggest. This was done in the
presence of Us or 100 men and boys The
officers of justice did not, and probably dared not
interfere, and the mob exulted in their triumph.
They justify themselves by asserting that the
woman is Incorporate |! The leader Of the mob
is himself incorporate. Rochester American.

TRAvELLNG.--The rush of travellers from the
South and West seeking recreation and escape
from the heat of summer is said to be enor-
nous. The Herald estimates the number of
rivals at the various hotels in New York last week
at eighty thousand, and the amount of money left
there at one and a half millions of dollars.
