food of inquiries from all parts of the Uaion,
relative to the enterprise, showing that public

" The Swamp Fox"

us ne was ldmAlAr!E CaIled,
The Swamp Fox"
from the immense ingenuity Of his stratagems
and devices for misleading and dcceiving the
enemy, his thorough knowledge Of the woods,
forests, fields, and swamps, of his native re-
gion, where he and his gallant band were per-
tectly at home, while their enemies became
lost and hewildered in the labyrinthine mazes
of underground and morass.
The story above announced is q true reflex
of those scenes and times. and its talented au-
thor has most wildly portrayed, therein, the
many exciting incidents and accidents of te-
uacious and udetatigable struggle for Liberty,
pursued under the mos adverse circumstau-
ces. Every chapter is repetc with exciting
and. romantic interest historically accurate
but with a sparkling web Of poetry woven
through it, winch makes it at once brilliant
story and veraciouS record. The strongly
written descriptions of events-the ambus-
cade-the sudden sortie-the night attack
the wild charge and repulse-are all WONDER
ful as examples of word painting, and equally
true 10 the actual facts.
In addition TO these scenes of heroism and
lofty daring, the swamp Fox is not with
out the gentle charm OF a loye-story, for the
working and the effects of the tender passion

ally as the sterner emotions, rendering the tale
a perfect picture of life and character in the
Days of the Revolution, which cannot fail to
appeal to the aGmiration, and CRAFTY the taste
OF every reader who has a spark Of true pa
triotism in his soul.
The peculiar power and interest with which
the gifted author, GEORGE ALBANY, ESQ,
describes the thrilling PERIOD is guarantee
OF the excellence of this truly magnificent His
torcal Romance. The vivid delineation of
character the depth of thought, the faScina
tion Of style, the picturesque beauty of descrip-
tion, in word, the power of language he
commands, all combine TO render him one OF
the most brilliant authors of the age, while his
great appreciation of and sympathy with the
pioneers in the cause of universal liberty give
him grasp of Revolutionary subjects pos
sessed bv very few others. This has enabled
him, il the swamp Fox, to exhibit tne
life and adventures OF
MARION AND HIS MEN
as they really were, and to do fit homage to
that deliberate va!or, that unyielding patriot
ism, which, in a few noble spirits, defying
danger, and above the scenes Of priTation,
could keep alive the sacred fires of liberty in
the thick swamps and dense and gloomy for
ests asking nothing. yielding nothing and
only leaving the field the better to re-enter it
for the combat
We take to ourselves some credit, for hav-
ing secured for our columns the chcts dourrcs
of this masters pom, but we intend to give the
NEW YORK MERCURY still higher prestige
than ever. We believe it is already the BEST
AND LARGEST STORY PAPER in the world.
and we contemplate making it better and bet
