A New Book by Simms.

The Charleston Mercury mentions the ap,
pearance Of a new work from the pen Of VIM.
GILMORE SiMMs, one of the most gifted and able
Of our Southern writer's. Had Mr.. SIMMs pro.
duced the same works on the other side of Ma
sons and DIxoN's line, both his rewards and his
reputation would have been higher, deservedly
high as the latter already is. The publishing
trade" at the North hitherto have controlled
both these matters too much. We hope bet
ter day is dawning on Southern authorship:
"THE GOLDEN CHRIsTMAs-A CHRONICLE OF
ST. JOINS BERKELEY.-We have been much
entertained by perusal of the above work, from
the press of Walker, Richards a. Co. Mr..
Simms is never so successful as when he works
up the familiar scenes and traditional customs of
Carolina into tales like that before u.s. His
descriptions are here more spirited, his delinea-
tons more faithful, and his language more as
we love to hear it. In short, he supplies great
want in our lisaasture, by preserving in such at
tractive forms, llAe venerable, homemade and
peculiar, which has come down to US from the
better days of Carolina.
.The present volume contributes very eff
fectually and agreeably to this end. 1t has, too,
the additional virtue OF emanating from press
established amongst US, and devoted to the de-
velopment of the terature of the South. This
is the first Of a series, and Messrs. Walker and
Richards have, as they deserve, our best wishes
for the success of their laudable scheme.

The young men of Albany, N. T., OF a portion
of them, have held a meeting for the purpose OF
organizing an association to further the views
of KossuTH.
The first article of the constitution explains
the character and purpose Of the association:
"Ths society shall be called the " Hungarian
Liberty Association" of the city of Albany, and
will act as auxiliary TO similar associations in
the United States its objects are to assist by
all lawful means any future struggle for Hun
garian and European Independence"
The Albany Journal thus indicates the pro-
bable action of the legislature Of that State:
THE KossUTH REsoLUTIoNs-Mr Luckey,
from the committee of the assembly, to whom
were referred the various resolutions in regard
to Kossuth, Hungary, and Intervention, reported
yesterday. We rejoice to see that their labors
have been attended with gratifying results. In
the resolutions which they offer, the principles
of international law are fully and frankly de-
clared, and a national declaration is advocated,
of the right Of every nation to control its do
nestle affairs, free from all foreign interference,
and of the principle that such interference con-
stitutes breach of the law of nations, justify
ing the interposition of any or all other govern
ments.
We look for speedy and favorable action upon
them. Their adoption would place New York
in n position becoming to her character and her
greatness.
