LITERARY PAsFI4E,'-We are in receipt
Of the first number of this paper, publish
ed in Richmond, Va, by A. F. Crutchfield,
Esq, long and favorably known to many
readers ia this State as Editor of the Pc.
Aersburg Express.
Tie number before us gives evidence of
talent and energy, which in the Pustine
promises to supply want long felt in the
South.
In its Salutatory the design is announced
to offer you intellectual enjoyment, only
this and nothing more. The aim may not
be very high. We seek neither to reform
abuses nor TO educate the taste We do
not even hope to raise the standard OF pub-
lie morals. instruction will be incidental
to the matter of entertainment, and we
trust, indeed, that much may be learned
from our columns that will be profitable to
retain. But, first of all, we desire to he
guile the hours of leisure with innocent
mlrth and healthful sentiment in the va
:ried forms of the story, the essay, the
sketch, the poem. The tender and the
sportive, wit and humor, the shifting phases
of our common life-all that goes to make
home attractive, and that endears it to our
affections, whatever can excite Chaste
laughter, whatever may call forth tears
that may have no bitterness such are the
elements that it is our wish and shall be
,our aim to unite in our 80 Pastin,e."

An IMPROVEMENT DECIDED UPoN.-The
Roanoke Ne,cS learns that it has been po-
sitively decided upon to run line of boats
or forty miles down the Roanoke, there to
connect with line from the Blackwatcr
and touching at Plymouth-thus opening
up the rich stores of wealth that lie along
the Roanoke to the reads at Weldon and
to the markets they give an outlet to the
enterprise at this point to be met by the
Seshoard, which will lay a track to, the
landing. The Norfolk merchants, will
push the matter to an early COM
pletion, in sufficient time to give an
outlet to the growing crops. The plan Is
both feasible and splendid, and we hope to
see il prove a success.

DEMPSEY OF DEEP CREEK.

"THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES -
BY A. II. STEPHENs.-The following no.
tice of this work, from the pen of one OF
most gifted citizens, is but just tribute to
its general excellence and superiority.
Mr.. Wm. B. Jordan is Agent Tor the
in filling all orders.
Our correspondent writes,
Mr.. EDITOR Il beg leave to make this
formal acknowledgement of my Obligations
to you, for the privilege Of looking into the
first volume of Stephens History. No
one | trust, will refuse to examine this
valuable woi k, on the ground ofits purport-
ing to be a constitutional view of the war;"
and therefore attempting no description of
an wing accidents by flood and field" For
although the Author deals mainly in fun
damental truths and facts, his book is made
"ea%y," to any one OF ordinary capacity,
by its colloguial style and method.
Mr.. Stephens is Philosopher; but he
succeeds most charmngly i'll making his
guests all feel at home, in the p,rtico at
Liberty Hall. The depth of his views and
the electric tJrce of his eioguence are we'll
exemplfied, when, speaking of some every
essential facts" he says, "thcy are the
deep foot prints of truth, impressed on our
earlier history, which assertion can never
obliterate, argument cannot remove, So
phistry cannot obscure, time cannot erase,
and which even wars can never deStrt v
However upheaved the foundations of So
ciety may be by political convulsions,
these will stick to the.very fragments of
the rocks of our primitive formation, bear
ing their unerrlng testimony to the ages to
come" See page 80. Such diver into
the depths of truth always tetlhes up the
purest pearls, with nothing of what Milton
would designate as seatceed ond coclte,

Monday evening the School of this lady
closed at Marlborough with one Of her most
pleasant Soirees, at which the young peo-
pie of Town appeared in full force.
We regret that more of our citizens did
not take advantage OF the presence of Miss
G. here to give their children the benefit
Of her superior instruction. Under her
excellent mode Of teaching her pupils have
rapidly improved in the fashionable art OF
Dancing, readily acquiring an ease and
grace that reflects much credit on the etti-
cheney of their instructress.
Miss C. leaves Marlborough for the upper
portion of the County, where, we are glad
to learn, large school has been obtained
for her.

THE LIBRARY OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES au-

as the first, welcomed the Second Enter

that he supposed he would soon be dis
charged from his employment, and on be-

be because he was not a 'scallawag. We do
