The moral lessons inculcated in it are such us TO
give II n claim to the favor OF all the good Tho
characters are drawn with a close eve TO nature,
aud marked and distinct in their delineations
The scenery of the picture, its lights and shades
are true to life. The love scene in one of tho
early chapters, is perfect gem. Tho heroine,
sweet Kate, is model Of all that is lovcabic in
woman. We think tho book marks the advent of
one in the fields Of literature, who is dcstine ed
not only to adorn it, but also to be the means of
doing much good with her ready pen.
The fair authoress is the daughter OF the cclc-

Mr.. Editof.-Yirginia though an
old State, has been considered by 9th
ors less ancient as far behind tho age
in many respects, especially so in re-
gard to her system of common schools.
Many Of her inhabitants havo long
been awakened to the propriety of es-
tablishing the Free School System. I
say many; and if the astounding fact
were generally known that upwards of
eighty thousand full grown Virginians
can neither road nor write, all would
favor the system. Some counties, to
their honor be it spoken, have bee n
trying the free system, and find it to
work admirably. Why not all try it =?
If it works well in other States, and in
some counties in this, why may it not
work we'll in every county Cannot
our Legislators incorporate an item in
their next edition of laws, to that CT
fect2 l suppose they have wisdom c.
nough to do SO; or are they like their
predecessors DESTROYS of Keeping the
people in ignorance in order to "save
the State" 1t is perhaps we'll known
that a large sum is annually appropri-
ated in this State for educational pur-
poses. How much need be raised by
direct tax, in addition to this sum, to
make the system complete and general,
some one "good in figures please an
swer. In conclusion, those States that
have established free system of COM
mon schools would under no circum-
stances give it up for the "gude old
way The inhabitants Of the Yanke c
or New England States, would as soon
surrender their soil to the original
owners, the Indians, as give up their
common schools, and where can be
found more enterprizing and enlight-
ened people than they?
may again recur to this subject
until then l remain INVISIBLE.
