has also been received. We have read only its
Editorial Table, and the article entitled Ny
Schools and sschooImas,ers. both 81 which made
favorable impression. Dui we ought. perhaps.
to say, that we decidedly disapprose Of the style
adopted in the Editorial, in imitation Of the
Scriptures. VIC have seen il introduced in po-
iifiesi articles; and altl ough. as in the piece
before US, some good epnccits were presented.
we considered them as bordering on the pro-
fame.
TmE Towx SeriB.--We have received sc,e-
raj numbers Of > sprighily little weekly paper
with the above title, Published in Greensbo-
rough by s. NJ. sirapp & J. Razor, at one dol
lar per sanum. half in advance, and the rcmain-
der at the expiration Of six months. Mr.. J.. N.
Bruce is the only authorized agent to receive
subscriptions, &c. for the Squib. We were ne
yer very partial to squibs of any kind, and old
lprejudices arc hard 10 overcome. In our young
days We observed that the boys sometimes had
their faces and fingers burnt with squibs. and
We would now remind our young friends that
it requires great prudence to protect themselves
j from injury in touching cn" their squib.
The above notices were prepared for our is-
sue two weeks ago, but were crowded out.
Since then We have the following to notice:
| Putnnm's Monthly, far December.
has been .reccived, and presents quito an into
resting table Of contents. II contains South
lerner's view Of the subject Of " Our Parties and
Politics." an able communication from gen.
teman in Virginia. The Publisher accompanies
tho communication with note, in which no
says, il is checriully admitted as reply to the
article in the September number; and adds: " 1t
probably cmbodics The views Of many judicious
and intelligent men at the South, on the topics
discussed; and as VIC believe that Truth is not
endangered by temperate discussion, we have
satisfaction in giving fair hearing to the 9th
or side of the question. II ice are not convinced
by all of its arguments, our readers shall have
a fair chance of being so, nevertheless" The
publisher briefly aludcs to the denunciation Of
the Southern Journals, for publishing the first
article, and says that in admitting il, there was
no departure from the desgn Of the work as
stated in the prospectus on the cover of the first
number. He CONCLUDES as follows: Those
who have inferred that temporary expedency,
in reference to dollars and cents, would induce
us to st H., or disown honest convictions Of right
or wrong, are simply m sf0ken At the same
time the Monthly is not intended to be a veh.-
Gle for useless controversy. On public affairs it
will continue to be national and comprehensive
in its views, rather than the organ of any party
or section Of the country" So much for his
defence. The Monthly has able contributors /;
and We hope it will in future avoid even the
appearance Of undue sectional bias; but will
indeed be national and comprehensive in its
views,
TIE new volume commences with the Janua-
ry number. Terms s. per annum in advance !;
