Next to Uncle Toms Cabin, and Ike that =
work, 8 aproduction engerdered by the neces. =
sites Of the times. Is the new book Among
the Pines ~ didactIc novel which in its I
serial form has attracted unusual attention, and I
will be eagerly sought for now that 1t has {
been issued integral. " Edmund ktr6e " is
the nom de plume Of q Southern merchant,
thoroughly acquainted with southern Gus"
toms, familiar with every one Of the rebelltous
states, and from long experience upon the
cotton plantations, qualified to wrlta Of the
1nper workings and results Of slavery.
The author considers the present contest
as one between the two systems Of labor. lie
elaborates through three Interesting pages
plan for the overthrow Of slavery, which is
worth careful consideration, coming as 1t
does from the pen Of a man who writes from
his Own experiences and from observations e1-
tending throughout the entire line Of Cotton
States. His plan is to give slavery its death
blow by breaking down the dominant ollgar-
chy OF the South-the f. F. Y. conceit6-
which lie at the base Of Southern aristocracy |
ard sneers at honorable labor as degrading. |
He believes not alone in educating the negro |
but in elevatiDg the 'swhite trash" from: the |
low social position they occupy. In the
| gradual unfolding Of this plan he daguerreo-
types in most faithful outlines the demoraa-
| lied character ofthis portion ofthe conmuni.
ty, and traces thoroughly and intelhgently
the effects Of the curse Of slavery upon
the mutual relations Of the races Of men and
classes Of society in this country.
Il is another noticeable feature Of this
volume, that the Incidents so dramatically
drawn are true. They did not trauspire In the
order given, and occupied wider range OF
time in their occurrence, but au OF them
came, at different times, under the authors
observance. There is ahuRdant material in
. the book TO confirm this even If the high
character Of the writer admitted OF its ques-
/ tion. The portraits are original. They bear
. the marks Of life in every line.
: Apart from the argrmentatiVe character OF
| the book and the subject which forms its
7 groundwork, eubject which to-day is knock
8 ing in thunder tones at our national threshold
! for solution, the literary character Of the
( book must attract attention. In execution 1t
! is thoroughly dramatic Its portraits are drawn
d With bold hand and stand out stereoseeplc'
/ ally. Tie unity Of the work is preserved
: throughout and framed in glowing descEip
:. tions and passages Of power and pathos rare
II cqual1ed. It should be in the hands q
: every man especially in this critical period o
ID our country'a history.
