Embraced in the catalogue IS complete
while the accompanying recommendatiohs
w. strong and almost endless, coming from
the leading educators IN all quarters OF
.he South. In our opinion, these testimo-
malls are richly deserved. The series Isl
indeed, everything it should be. In ex-
cellence of style, in charm OF thought, IN
purity and elevation of tone, in business of
method, in force Of exposition, in general
adaptablity, and in every other appro-
pirate quality, the members of this series
are unsurpassed, if not unequalled. Ger
tainly no better series is now published.
II our authority is worth anything, we
cheerfully fling it into the scale already
weighed down with so many of the highest
and brightest names in the land.
The mathematical section Of this series
is prepared, or is in course Of preparation,
by Professor Towne, formerly Principal OF
the Barton Academy in Mobile, and one
of the most skilful, thorough, and success
| full teachers in the whole country. The
Arithmetic aud Algebra of Professor
| Towne are now in use, the test of which
they abide triumphantly, all who have used
or critically examined them attesting their
excellence in the warmest terms. The &C
complished author, as we are pleased 10
see, has Just completed the Primary Arith-
metic of the series, a copy of which we
have received in advance of publication.
The work is surely master piece of the
kind. Never did the learner begin to
mount the hill of mathematics by
smoother or gentler ascent. The grade is
one of the very lightest known to educa-
tional engineering. The feeblest and dull
est of learners will find the way way of
pleasantness. lie will scale the rugged
steep almost without knowing it. We
hazard nothing in predicting that the Pri-
mary Arithmetic will become an especial
tavorite wherever it is known; and 1t Will
soon be universally known.-L0utSulAe

We are authorized to state that Chief
Justice Chase has completed, except in
four or five cases, his nominations and re-
Communications for registers in bankruptcy.
The whole power Of appointment is with
the courts, 10 which his nominations and
recommendation have been addressed. 1t
is useless, therefore, to address any further
commune atoms to the Chief Justice on
the subject. Chronicle.
Kossuth has written another letter on
the state of political affairs in Hungary,
blaming the course OF action which Mr..
Deak, and with him the majority of the
Hungarian Diet, have followed. Whatever
changes may have occurred in Hungary,
Kossuth remains an undinching opponent
of Austria.
Wilson advocates total abstinence. But
we must say we prefer sherry cobbler to
Natick cobbler as beverage.
