Into the most distant and lonely
corners Of Dixie Land. And the
sections from which Il receives iis
reports are as various as lis own wan

fires and read In the eighty columns
of the "largest and cheapest weekly
paper published In the country" as
Il says, reports from every point Of
the Confederate compass. From every
hill and dale In Freedoms territory
kind voices go after, and friendly
greetings come with the Metropolitan
Record, with something to be read
by, and something to be read Of
everybody. And II seems that every
body is working for the Record, and
the Record is working for every
worthy body. AS | have said in
another communication, there are a
few newspapers in the North which
we may constantly encourage, after
we have patronized our own home
papers; | have thus forestalled in

may now risk that accusation, since
the fact is pretty well established that
there are few newspapers in the
North which we may not only con-
sistcntly encourage, but which we are
now rather in honor bound to support,
chief among which is the lieiropoli-
tan Record. Aside from the debt Of
gratitude we owe to this paper, con-
jointly with the Eeemdn's Journal
and New York Mers, there are other
reasons why we should patronize the
Record. In private letter, its able
editor, says he expects "to make II a
high-toned literary paper, free from
the sensational trash which floods the
country through the Northern press,
and with this view, l intend to en-
ploy such Southern talent as l may
be able to secure" Again he says |.
ats increasing circulation in the
South will soon, | trust, enable me
to add to the literary force engaged
on It." Here is a journal in the
North which is going to devote itself
to the encouragement, development,
aud remuneration Of Southern literary
talent. We should certainly feel as
deep interest in the development Of
the literary talent Of our land as the
Record 50 kindly manifests; and in
consideration Of which, il behooves
us to encourage this encourager ol
Southern literature. There Is another
reason why We are in duty, as IN
honor, bound to encourage the Rscorc
1t encouraged US, when we mos
needed encouragement. II sufieret
persecution, suppression, and pecu
mary loss because Of lis bold dcfcns'
Of The South, her cause and her peo
pie. Its pecuniary loss on our &C
count has been heavy; hence, | thinl
honor requires Us 10 make good tha
loss BY liberal patronage. The rea
sons which urge the South TO suppor
the Record are precisely those whicl
condemn the Home Journal. Indeed
Il there i any reason why a right
