Some of the ablest of living pens are en-
gagged for us, in translating from the
French and German: and our own origi-
nal narrative-writers are among the first.
We are fortunate, also, in travellers
gone abroad who are literary contributors
and we are anticipating for our readers
most agreeable surprise in the quality of

But the feature of our journal, which
we have not yet mentioned, is perhaps

FAST DAY RICHMOND.

The Richmond Enquirer publishes a
three-column report of a sermon delivered
at St. Paul's church in Richmond Friday
the 2lst, (Jeff. Davis's fast day. of which
the following are extracts ralt
All! the times tell a sad tale-sad for
the ministers Of God to record. We have
had fast days before; and many were the
hopes which inspired our hearts as we saw

Carlyle somewhere speaks of Justice

robes of hell-fre. 1t is in just this as o
pect, she is to day approaching Charles O

manner in which that sheet of fame works
resistless way toward the devoted city.
Yet men rejoice. And well may they.
Not for revenge. Revenge is passion !.
fit for savages only. But because thereis Of
a deep instinct in the human breast that
finds pleasure in righteous retribution.
This visitation upon the chief city Of "
South Carolina causes peculiar satisfac-

ty years; twice made desperate efortto
compass it by open resistance, and was the
head and front of the present, yet moro
formidable, movement 1t was South Car

that first passed an ordinance of secession '
that first laid hands upon the Federal
property; that first fred upon the nation

been for South Carolina, mall earthly
probability, this impious rebellion would
not have existed at all. AS it is said of
Satan that be ;" drew" one-third of the
angels after him in foul revolt, so may it !
be said of the arch.apostate in the family

she has remained ever since almost un-

through. while she, the author of all the.
woe, has escaped thus far with simplya

Three miles from the hotel is Moss

artists and pleasure seekers A most de-
lightful drive is to Morrisville Falls, in
Morristown, eight miles distant, a scene
little inferior in natural attractiveness
to the former. Two miles further on is
Hyde Park, the county town of Lamoille
County, a place possessing all the elements
of New England enterprise, including a
fine hotel and an excellent weekly paper.
The towns in this region abounds in
springs which are regarded as medicinal.
The most common are such as contain
sulphuretted hydrogen and iron, and
many of them are located on delightful
drives. Stowe has already become sum-
mer resort of considerable celebrity. The
artists found it out. Lovers of the true
and beautiful in nature followed in their
track, and the result has been that the
past season, the combined accommodations
of public and private houses have been
wholly inadequate. This increase of
summer visitors is not spasmodic but reg
ular and sure, and another year, we are
assured that a new and commodious hotel
on commanding site will be ample for
all who may present themselves. ..
