Southern Literary Messenger.

The Southern Literary Messenger for October is
an excellent number. 1t has some articles Of I'M
usual interest. In this number is published Prof
Fishburn's admirable address before the late Edu-
cation Convention in this city.
The Messenger ought to be in the hands of every
lover Of literature in Virginia 1t is more impor-
tant to the happiness and purity of the South that
it should be Independent of the North in litera-
ture, than in anything else. Yet the cheapness
and flash character of Northern periodicals,
drive our sterling Southern periodicals TO the wall,
those periodicals which not only inform the mind,
but elevate the heart We dare say that an examina-
ton Of the Messenger from the period of its esta-
bishment, will fail to disclose tale essay, po
etica contribution, editorial remark, of ques-
tionable morality. From first to last, it has been
conducted on principles which adapt it to the pure
eyes and high toned principles of Virginia house
hold. By none has this object been more constant
ly kept in view than its present able and scholarly
editor, Mr.. Thompson. We do not believe, that to
single magazine periodical in the North,
can the tribute be paid which we have just
awarded to the Messenger. Yet mere amusement
and eheapness, recommend the literary trash and
arbage which drift from polluted foreign sources
through our own streams and to our own doors,
poisoning the moral atmosphere and excluding
those home literary influences which would I'M
prove the character whilst they instruct the mind
Does the North rcciprocate? Does the North en-
courage Southern periodicals? Far from it, 1t is
for the proud South, whilst she mourns over her
vassaiage in words, to hug her chains and parade
them about as If they were veritable Jewels.
Let us have, If possible, literature of our own,
ana as means 10 that end, support the Southern
Literary Messenger.

Nena Sahib.

According to the ILLUSTRATED London Times,
the birth name of Nena Sahib is " Sreenath," me
M sahib" being nickname, given to him In &C
cordance with q IIindoo CUSTOM whereby the
tsSori,e word that high caste IIindoo utters in
infancy, Is converted into pet name that clings
10 him through life. He is said to be a man ahont
~ years old; very fat; round face wild br;,Iian,
restless eyes; complexion not darker than thar a,
a dark Spaniard, and somewhat joyial exnre.s,on
OF oountsnanee. He is a gentleman i'm ra,h
and social position, and, until the late ou,bye.x
enjoyed the confidence and intercourse of the Fas,
India English aristocracy.
The particular grievance of which Nena sahib
complains is the refusal of the East India Company
to continue to him a pension which II had guaran
teed to an Indian Of rank, who had adopted Nena
as his son, and who died without other heirs. I'm
der the Hindoo law, the adopted son is entitled te
all the rights and privileges Of an heir begotten o.
the body, and Nens claimed the pension, which the
company had guaranteed to his father, his heir,
and successors" This claim was not allowed, al
though Il Is added the decisions Of the East India
Company have not been consistent on this head
But 1t Is worthy of note that two of the most
frigbtful massscres which have taken place, have
been Ia districts where indians Of rank have been
treated with this kind of injustice. No papers &C.
knowledge more frankly than the English the
gross Encouragement OF the Indian Empire by the
East India Company, whilst, however, none, not
even the sepoys themselves, pretend, 1t is aa ex'
ense fsf their heilish mode Of revenge.
