though Tue 1oohsuefS Anteuo ISSUING TWO
more numbers, to be included iu the two
volumes of this year, so that the volumes
will hereafter begin with January and July.
The success that has thus far attended
this Magazine, commencing as it did, when
business was at stand, and the CRY Of
shard times" was universal, is without
parallel in the history of magazinedom. By
its own intrinsic merit, by its high and NOR
al tone and pure literature, it has gained
such hold upon the public mind, and such
favor in the eyes of all appreciative readers,
as cannot fail to insure it a measure of sue
cess never before attained by any Magazine.
We hope to see the day when it shall be
accounted the Magazine of America. One
feature which has hitherto marked the
atlantic, is discontinued with the present
number; we refer to the series of articles
BY O. w. HOLMES, entitled the "The Auto
crat of the Breakfast table," The perfect
geniality and naturalness of these table
talks, their happy style, and refined tone,
and quiet infusion of warm heart and
sympathetic nature, throughout each topic
discussed, all combined to carve for them
a niche in the inner most heart Of the read
er.
We sincerely regret that these articles are
to be discontinued, but are happy to learn
from an advertisement, in the present nam-
Der, that they are to be published in book
form, and illustrated. Though the atlantic
has lost the attraction of this series OF pa
pers, we doubt not, something just as good
and haply from the same pen, will take Its
place, for the coming year. Now is the
time, friends, to bring in your names, and
get the work dollar cheaper at this
Office than you can Of the publishers. Who
will send US four dollars and secure the
atlantic Monthly and the Nonpare'l, Tor
one year? Or, if you cannot afford that,
send one dollar to PHILLIPS, SAMPSON, 1 Co.
l3 Winter Street, Boston, and procure
copy of "The Autocrat."
Republican Victory In Maine.
The Republicans of Maine have done
their whole duty-they have made clean
sweep. MORRILL,, is reelected Governor by
near 10000 majority; and both branches Of
the Legislature are largely Republican,
This secures the succession of Republican
U. S. Senator, in the place of Mr.. FEssEN-
DEN, whose term expires next March. The
Democratic papers have been jubilans over
a supposed gain Of one member Of Con-
gress, but they are compelled to haul in
their horns, for the official count, proves an
unbroken Republican delegation in Congress
from old Maine. The vote was large one,
both parties polling more than last year,
which shows the interest felt in the canvass.
fy \ Douglas organ, the De Witt Clin-
tonian (lll.) Democrat, has caved. ltsays
1.-THE Clinton Malakoff of Douglasism has
been captured ! and this day we cry from
the Douglas citadel, 'Hurrah for Lincoln =
Our candidates, Lincoln, Stickel, and Pool,
hereby receive a salute of honor from the
guns which were turned upon them with
, hostile intent. SO i: is that truth is certain
to triumph at last. As for the little foul
mouthed demagogue Stephen A. Douglas,
who was formerly gloriied in these columns,
he is hereby notified that his trumpet has
been sounded for the last time by the Demo
crdt.'
