THIS book abounds with startling descrip-
tions Of adventure in our own waters; the
characters are all strongly drawn, and
stand out boldly and wildly. Vice is con.
trasted with virtue, beauty with hideous-
ness. He has drawn woman as m angel
fallen woman as n fend incarnate-man in
his nobility, and man in his most fiendish
deformity Of soul and nature.
The authors early career,was spent upon
the ocean and as naval officer he has had
opportunities of gaining a nautical knowl-
edge which peculiarly fits him to excel rs q
writer of sea novels. His naval career was
distinguished by active service in the Gulf,
and among the kegs and bags of Florida
during the Seminole war; and in this, his
last, best work, we find proofs that he has
not forgotten his early education

sg- On entering our Office a day or
two since, we observed, before the door,
a suspicious looking object, but on a
closer examination it proved to be a
basket filled with something and covered
over. We very gingerly took it inside
the Office and commenced to open it q Ia
Gov. Wilcox, of trunk of powder and
pistols memory, when our eyes were
saluted with view of as nice looking a
lot Of apples as it often falls to the lot oi
printers to view. We were not long in
testing their quality, and they proved Of
flavor which Pomona herself could no,
object to. We do not know who left
them there, but he must be man de-
serving the esteem and patronage of al
good citizens.
P. S. Since writing the above, W,
ascertain that the basket came from ou
friend, Col. Bradford. Just what w
should expect of him. lie has more o
the same kind.

DS- On Saturday evening last we
had the pleasure of attending concert
by the Continentals " In many
respects, we think they will compare IA
vorably with the celebrated Hutchinson
Family. They are all sons of New
England, and thorough, scientific musi-
clans. We have seldom, if ever, heard
a more splendid bass voice than that of
Mr.. Frisbie. Mr.. Smiths performance
of the Texan War Song was the personi-
fcatin of sublimity, though We must be
allowed to deprecatc its sentiment.
The performance of Messrs. Franklin
and Huntington was also of the first Or
der. Altogether, it was one of the best
concerts that we have had the pleasure
of attending for a long time. We doubt
not they are destined to reap a rich re-
turn for their efforts. Success attend
the Continentals.
