:" Here is a curiosity-the first number of a
monthly Magazine, published and edited by col
ored men, its contributors mainly colored people.
Among these contributors We notice the names OF
those whom we know to possess talent of high
order; Rev. H. Ii. Garnet, DR.. James MCune
Smith. Frederick Douglass, j. W. @. Pennington,
Mary A. S. Carey, Sarah NJ. Douglass Geo, b.
Vashon, Nj. III. Freeman, DC Among the number
of contributors named, no doubt others OF equal
talent are included but not SO well able to
speak of others.
The articles are generally creditable; the Intro
ductory, and one on 'CiyilizatiOn-its Depend
ence on PHYSICAL Circumstances, are certainly
ble."-Daiiy Dispatch pittsburgh, Pa)
"This first number gives promise of an inter-
esting and valuable journal, and we hope the ex-
pertinent of its publisher will be decided sue

This Magazine is one of the best appearing
monthlies we have seen from the American press,
and the leading articles, and those from the con-
tributOrs, contain arguments and general informa-
ton that should be procured by every family, and
particularly young men, and treasured up. Let
the friends of literature and progress subscribe for
it, read and preserve it. The contributors are
among the ablest writers we have, and from the
number interested in this work, at the end of the
year, you that subscribe will have the material to
make an interesting volume. '-PrOUiaciat Free

ANGLo.AFR1cAN MAGAzINE-The first number
of this Magazine, published by Thomas Hamilton,
48 Beekman street, N. Y, has appeared. We
think it will be read with interest by all who re
ceive it. The third article, Civilization-its De-
pendence on Physical Circumstances" by DR..
James M'Cune Smith, we regard as peculiarly in
structive and valuable. The idea that in nations
advanced in civilization the sources of nteectual'
power spring from the common people, the physi-
cally vigorous, is happily developed, and worthy
of general attention. We wish success to the An

EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have just received from
the office of the Angl0-Aficdn Magazine, pub
lished in New York, three numbers, and as trib-
ute to both enterprise and MERIT, desire to say
few words on the subject
While there is spirit that would crush the
coored race, and trample them under foot as infe-
rior, it is cheering to witness single triumph of
our colored friends, and them rise in manliness
and power, in spite of prejudice and hate. any
one doubts their upward tendency, their want of
elements essential to elevation, let him call over
and read single article in one of these Magazines,
and then blush for the injustice done crushed
people The talent and taste exhibited would do
honor to any Magazine published in our nation.
Nor would we thus speak of single author or
single article; the whole work glOws with the evil
dence of talent and scholarship-far more so than
many of the popular productions of the press. Let
our citizens interest themselves in the AngioAtri
can Magazine, and while they encourage the en-
terprise, they will also beenft themselves by an
increase of useful knowledge, and decrease of an
generous and unreasonable prejudices. L com
mend it to our Reading Rooms, and to every Pri-
vate family, as a work of decided merit, for only
