Old North State. a Home.

Our honest old State in years gone by,
has suffered greatly by emigration. Many
of our most wealthy, enterprising and intel
ligent citizens years ago, went out from u.s.
To some the removal was advantageous, but
to many others, it has been at a great sacri-
fee. 1t is not a little gratifying to us, that
many of them have become distinguished
men, perhaps, more so, than if they had re-
of drought and other calamities in the South
and West, have led us to the conclusion, that
few persons, comparatively, are really better
ed by a removal.
Perhaps our State does not furnish as rare
and as quick a road to wealth as some others,
but in ali the substantial elements of wealth
whatever makes a desirable and happy
home,-few States equal our old mother.
Some may run ahead of her in some things,
but where will you go to find a more honest,
quiet, industrious people? Where more 80
cial, political, educational or religious advan-
tages? Where is a comfortable living made
more sure by industry and enterprize p
Where do the inhabitants enjoy more health
more solid enjoyment? Where?
Besides, look at the undeyeloped resources
of the State. Look at the prospects held out
in agricultural, manufacturing and mining
enterprise. Verify, We have a goodiy heri-
tage.

and wanted him to see that he was dealt fair

Southern Literature.

For several reasons, l have been unable to
to continue my remarks upon Marion Har-
lands new Romance, NEMESIS for this num-
be. Of the Age. Ihope to do so in time for
the next issue. | have chosen, however, for
my leader to-day, a subject in connection
with the remarks made last week.
The two works alluded to-BEULAT, and
'NEMEsiS-were written by Southern ladies,
and are indeed a fuil-crowned vindication of
tho intellectual powers Of the southern fc-
male mind. Az a time not far back in the
past, it was common for the British Press to
deprccigtc american literature, and to de-
clare that no book had been written in Amer
lea worthy the name Of a book. Since then,
the British critics have graciously awarded
us the credit Of having considerable literary
pretentions, and an appreciation Of our mcr-
II has been awarded 10y the reprint in Lon
don Of many American books.
Our brethren ofthc Northern States have
been guilty of very similar sentiments as to
the ability Of the South to produce a book
possessing solid worth and highly cultivated
literary mOrit. And TO our own shame we
have to tdd, that ythc Peopictof the South
have acquiscsccd in the inyidious discrimina-
tion thus boldly and insultingly avowed,
by rejecting or disparaging the efforts OF
southern writer's, and devouring with avid
ity and l,uding to the skies the trashy, inn
moral publications with which the Northern
press was corrupting our homes and fire.
sides. BY such a course, we have ourselves
given currency to the t~aunting ~disparage
ment Of our people, that the South has no lit
eraturc of her own.
The two works before us, as well as many
others that might be named from the pens o
both men and women of the South, establish
the fact beyond controversy, that in the felC
of romance and pure literature, as well al
science, history and the production of GU
own School books, the South is able to pro
ducc al these for her own people, and bold.
contend with the North, or with Europe, 70
the prize Of excellence and superiority. A
hail the day, when the first minds of til
South, male and female, shall contribute t
the establishment of a pure and elevated HON
literature.
