N. @. University Magazine.-stead Magazine.
There are some things which we are fully resolved
to do and yet which are too prone to deferto put
off from day to day. until we have become almost asha-
ed to turn to them at ALL There are other things which
we feel delicacy in approaching, from the simple rea
son that we hardly know how to handle them after wehave
actually taken hold
The North Carolina University Magazine comes ull-
der the first head Seadman's Magazine under the Sc
cond The April number of the University Magazine
had been on our table for weeks before we found
time and opportunity to give careful perusal We
have at last found the time and have been amply repaid
We viii not say that the Magazine is all that experience
and the command of ample means might have made it,
but we can truly bear testimony to the fact that it is
highly creditabe to the taste and ability Of its youthful
EDITORS who shortly to the connection that has
existed between them and their Alma Mater and to
ter upon the broader theatre of the world The leading
article upon The Unity of the Races is from the pen
of Bishop Atkinson and is marked by the terSeness of
style, and coSeness of logical deduction which emf
nenty characterize the productions of the distinguished
author. This, first III order is also first in ability
but the reviews essays and editorial contributions which
make up the balance of the number are not absolute
aectation while in some cases they exhibit maturity
of thought beyond what had any right to expect Ed
tied by E. G. J. Bell, II. T. Brown, W. NJ. Coleman,
w. G. Lord, L. w. Mason, j. w. Wright.
Steadman's Magazine comes before the world with
higher preensions-t asserts for itself promi-
nent position-it claims to represent and embody
the culture and literary taste of North Carolina, and,
measurably of the South. This difficulty then immedi-
ately presents itself: AS distinctive southern publ
the conductors of the North Carolina which
we as humble members of the press gang" of the
State, fully recognize But on the other hand if we
endorse all the assumptions of the editor announce
at to to the world that adopt that editor the
exponent of literature and willing to have that
literature Judged by the standard which he has erected
Now in all candor and sincerity, we must say, that
however much we may desire to see Mr.. Steadmans
Magazine succeed and do wish to see it succeed
cannot lend feeble efforts towards the promotion of
its success upon the conditions which he seems inclined
to impose We have read carefully every word of edi-
torial in the number for May-others, upon whose
judgments we rely have done the same and due
regard for the literary character of the State COM
pels US to add that we have been disappointed
that we at least cannot consent that the literature of
North Carolina should be judged by the standard there
in set up This much even we would not have felt
called upon to UTTER but that silence might have been
understood to mean consent.
The typographical execution of the work is very good
and some of the contributions exhibit more than
age ability.

Southern Commercial Convention.


Yesterday, the 10th instant, was the day appointed
for the meeting of the Southern Commercial Conven
ton at Montgomery, Alabama The appearances lead
to the conclusion that the gathering must be small
one. We think that very few persons have gone on
from points North of this. We see that some dele
gates have been appointed from town up in the noun
tains OF this State, and we think some similar move
ment has been made in the town of Elizabeth City, but
generally speaking, North Carolina does not appear to
feel or to display any interest in the Convention
Her larger and more commercial towns appointed no
delegates, and it is very doubtful if any would have
gone, even if they had been appointed In good truth
North Carolina has interest in the schemes that these
meetings got together to promote. She can have
great pleasure in witnessing listening to squabbles
between the representatives of certain aspiring sections
whose aim is to for the section sections they
represent advantage over other sections of the
South, and this is to be called building up Southern
markets. etc. In the talk about Norfolk steamers and
Virginia improvements, and New Orleans capital, and
Charleston something else, North Carolina is wholly
forgotten; she is as much ignored by her southern
friends by her northern foes. Neither to regard
her in any other light than good easy State willing
to be bed and unfortunately her course has given
too much reason for this opinion in regard to her. 1t
will be for her people hereafter to show that they
and will take care of their own interests that they will
act as becomes the citizens of State not as the mere
inhabitants of a strip of land between two States.
Bag~ In yesterdays issue of the Wilmington Herald
Messrs Charles +. Il Ravenscrot Burr announce that
they have purchased the Office of that paper and have
made arrangements to continue the publication under
their Joint control as editors and propretors.
Their Introductory remarks leave doubt of their
fitness for the position whose duties and responsibilities
they have thus formally assumed, and most cheerfuy
welcome them into the editorial profession trusting thai
it may be their fate to realize many of the pleasures
and as few of the disappontmens incident to that pur
suit, as reasonable men can hope for.
The Messrs. Burr have we believe been virtually the
editors of the Herald for some months past and have
sustained the paper with much ability.
By the way, the Herald came out yesterday in new
and handsome dress, looking remarkably well indeed.

declined slightly, while New York Central showed in
creased rmness. The stagnation in all departments of
business seems to increase and for the choicest bills the
rate in the open market is only fraction above per
cent. In the Stock Exchange advances government
securities can be obtained at q per cent. AT the
bank there was very little business doing.
The following is from the City Article of the Daily
News, April 27
In most of the departments of the Stock Exchange
increased confidence was observable The principal
stimulus arises from the solution of the recent uncertain
ty respecting the Indian loan and the budget and from
the extraordinary abundance of money In financial
there is check whatever to the market and many
persons sangune that the desire of the moneyed pub
lie for eligible interest bearing securities cannot be much
longer restrained So far it would appear, the public
must have held immense amount of capital absolutely
idle, either from dstrust of such investments still
stand at moderate prices or the stability of the political
situation The obstacle to the revival of confidence in
financial circles now rests almost solely with the course
of political affairs in France"

CHINESE MISUNDERSTANDING the
camp followers Of the insurgent chief,
who has been disturbing the heart of the
empire. it was computed, in 1853, that
there were in the city of Nankin only,
about half a million of women collect
ed from various parts of the country.
These females are formed into brigades
Of $4,000, under female officers. Of
these 10000 were picked women, drilled
and garrisoned in the citadel The rest
had the hard drudgery assigned them of
digging moats, making earth works,
erecting batteries, &c.
