DenOw,s REVIEW FOR JANUARY,


We have neglected to make an earlier notice
OF this well established and popular monthly,
but it will not be too late now to insert the
following, which we find in the Montgomery
Mail, the sentiments of which we fully endorse !:
"The January number of this Review has
attracted our special attention. A more valua-
Bile number OF this work has not been pub
hshed. Its various statistics, condensations of
commercial information, elaborate reviews,
mastery essays, are really as admirable in
their departments as could be desired The
intellectual ability in the present issue is worthy
OF all praise. We have not seen anything, in
a long time that has afforded us more pleasure
and profit.
"How any Southern man, that takes an in.
terest IN the true relations Of business, and de-
sires to be educated in commerce and trade,
can dispense with this great work, is mystery
to us. We beg our friends to think of what
they are loosing by not subscribing to this pub
LEGATION. And once more, if you do take it,
pray read it with an exhaustive reading, and
after that 90 and circulate its fresh ideas
among all your neighbors, and rouse them up
to think on the topics that ought to stir up the
energy and activity of our Southern States
"The Reciec is much enlarged. Its type
and general mechanical vAeCuIIon are adml-
rabic. one hundred and forty-four monthly
pages are to be given at S. per annum. Pro-
lessor DeBow has retired from the Census
Office, and intends to devote himself entirely
to the work. If any man wants to make fine
investment of S., DeBow's Review ought to
get it."

HON. II. A. EDMUNDsoN. Esa.

We have to announce, by authority, that
Henry A. Edmundson, esq, will not again be q
candidate for Congress We make this an
nouncement with sincere regret for there is nc
Representative from Virginia OF higher per
sonal honor, or Of truer devotion to the State
Rights party, than Mr.. Edmundson."
We copy the above from the Richmond En-
quirer Of yesterday and sincerely unite with
that paper in the regret it expresses at the loss
of Mr.. Edmundson from the public councils
and in the high estimate it places on his per
sonal character and his loyalty to the Demo
cratic party. In these times of trial and pres
sure, men Of Mr. Edmundson's stamp-of hi.
frmness, fidelity, and intelligence are Of ines
Unable value.

DEAR SIN: Your letter of January 10Th

solution you refer to is passed. Had got
your letter and pamphlet it would not have
passed. Ny position is unfortunate in this
regard personal friends asked me to state the
object of the resolution, and gave me alleged
facts; | stated these, and, in doing So have done
you injustice, and stated what kaaow NOW
not to be true. But / so stated, not know
ing what your bill is; but stating it to be a
bill of positive reward, and not of authority to
the Commissioner Of Patents to ltear
have requested a friend tomorrow to move
reconsideration, when'I will fully state the
facts, and advise you.
- Respectfully yours,
