attendant main or q consequent regret and en-
nnvee. The love of the tabled Apollos and
venuses, SO cons family cited, is eternal and I'm
changeable, and the whole makes up prospect
of bliss and beati tude which, if real, might we'll
have lured Jupit. from his throne and drawn
Astarte from hei' heavenly home. The girls
read it, and those of them who are influenced
by it-neither few nor far between-start on
the long Journey of life tolerably secure of mis-
cry and unhappine;s. If they do not make an
irretrlevable mistake at the outset they are al
most certain to re nder the future cloudy apt
bitter. The young men, too, are influenced a:
much by it as the girls, and instead of following
proper and profitable avoeations cultivate long
ings for a poeticaI renown they can never at.
tain, or some other distinction which is utterly
beyond their reach.
Notwithstanding these faults and others OF a
hardly less grave character which we nave
not space to instance, the newspapers circulate,
the stories are written and read, and the injury
il accumulated We regret to say that they are,
to a treat extent, patronised here i'll the South.
Almost every post-offiee has its weekly bundle
of New York, Boston or Philadelphia 90 family
papers," which, if rightly served, would be at
once thrown into the fire. They are not, and
the evils we deplore must follow as light the sun.
In addition to these evils of a general char
acter we must remark that there are faults Of
sectional and fanatical kind which ought to
exclude them, if nothing else will, from cireu-
lation in the South. One of these papers is
engaged in publishing =" Uncle Tom in its
columns; and they are every one, to greater
or less degree, inoculated with the virus oi
aboltionism If their literary character is
nothing, if their tendencies are bad, and, espe.
cially, if their doctrines are antagonistical tC
our institutions, it seems as though they should
be stopped.
Besides we have better papers here at hand,
even in literary point of view, than any of all
these fancy figure headed concerns that now
check their progress and impede their growth
papers that are conducted with nerve and abli-
ty; of wide scope, Of general interest and Of
particular interest in this section; papers that
are Southern in tone and sentiment, and devoid
of cant as well as free from puerility. If i

Correspondence Of tbs Crescent.
BALTIMORE, May u.
An application has been made to the Legisla-
ture of eur State for the charter Of a company
to establish line Of ocean steamers between
Baltimore and Liverpool The company is to
have capital Of two millions of dollars, and will
place on the line vessels especially intended for
the carrying of freight, and for the more econom-
ical accommodation of passengers than can be
accomplished by the costly Cunard and Collins
lines Two steamships, each Of about two thou
sand TONS are to be built, followed by two others
if the line should prove prosperous. These are
theTlans laid out by the friends of the project,
and they are said to enlist in their support a
number of our staunchest capitalists Whether
they will be Immediately carried out will de-
pend much upon the arrangements made with
the producers of the West and South, at the
approaching Commercial Convention, and on
the coming fall In the meantime it is thought
best TO secure from the Legislature the neces-
sary charter, in order that we may prepare at
once to take advantage of any formidable state
