SOUTHERN AUTHORS.

The recent conquests of Southern ladies Tn the field of fiction Is subject of agreeable remark in literary circles. Three of the most popular novels ever issued on this side of the Atlantic, written by Americans, are Beulah, by Miss Evans; Nemesis, by Mrs. Terhune (SIarion Harland) and The Household of Bouverie, by Mrs. Catharine 4. Warfeld- all women from the Southern States. These single instances silence forever the absurd as- sertion of many newspaper critics that the South produces no writers of excellence. Be yond question Bculah and The Household of Bouyero are among the most intellectually original of any novels yet produced by Amerl- can authors. We record these triumphs with the greater pleasure, because, in certain quar- ters where regulations are supposed to be made and unmadc at will, there is disp0si- ton ,0 deny the authors named the position which their just and publicly conceded merits deserve. It Is the bane of our journalism that, iNliteratme as in politics, an authors personal relations to the editor have every thing to do with the estimate placed upon the literary productions of the claimant for favor; while 9 residence out West" or down south, ' suficcs, with majority of Eastern journalists to consign the writer either to the distant background of their favors, or to the tender mercies of their patronage, bestowed as great concession Had Miss Evans been a resident of New EngIand-Mrs. Warfold a |" lady of New York they would have found favor, long since, in quarters where their works and names are scarcely referred to. It is 1t . satisfaction to fee, that the high CT tribunal of the public exists-whose good estimation, once obtained will quite compen- sate for the slight of journalists and book editors, who would make themselves power in literature, if they were not so constantly 1oiled by the
