mence the publication, next week, OF a
new Revolutionary Tale by George Al
bany. whose writings have been received
with such universal favor by every one OF
our readers. This last emanalion from
his gifted pen is entitled The SWAMP
Fox OR. The REBEL RIFLEMEN al
Tale of the Times and Feals of Marlon,'
and will be found one of the most excl
ling and fascinating stories of the Revo-
luton that he has yet produced. The
scenes and incidents of the days when
Marion led his brave comrades, through

most striking characters. the most bril-
liant deeds of daring, the most unfiInch-
ing devotion to the cause Of liberty and
the ,enderest passages of sublime palhos.
We are happy TO be able to assure our
friends that this has been done in "THE
SWAMP Fox" in manner that will add
