SUU1HERN WRITEKS.
Brief Mention of Some of them.
Now Resident in New York.

From the New York Evening Mail, 18th.
The disastrous results of the war to all
parties in the South, have brought large
numbers of workers fom that section 10
this city workers of all kinds-mechancs,
tradesmen, MtcrdteurS, professional men,
teachers, and journalists. The aggregate
number ofthoSe from the South reside mt
here has been stated at twenty-five thou
sand, ana there are eaSons To believe that
thar number is under the mark.
We mention a few OF the most noted of
those who belong to the department OF
mind workers.
There is Edward A. Pollard, formerly Of
the Richmond Examiner, whose Political
Pamphlet appeared u few weeks ago, who
yields one at the most trenchaut pens ia the
cuuutry. Mr.. Pollard is noted for his hos
tility to the iall,n chief of the Lost Cause,
for his bitter opposition to the Radical dom
iuation, aud the unsparing asperity Of his
discussions. His great, st distinction is due
to his 10 ks on the war and the leaders in
it. These have been emiueDtly successful
In their peculiar way.
There is A. j. Rcquier, Of Mobile, who in
less than two years practice before the
New York Bar has reached position in
that profession higher even than he occu-
pied IN Mobile. Judge Requier is at the
same time poet Of most exquisite art.
There is Jas. d. McCabe, Dr., of Virginia
we'll known Cor his polished aud graphic his
tories Of the camphgus OF Lee aud Jackson;
also for several novels. McCabe is one of
the most success full of the young writers Of
the South and he is working with earnest
ness and promise for the future. He resides
in Brooklyn.
There is Jno. r. Thompson, of Virginia,
uy.I tyida.tN L
pished journahSJ, lecturer, poet, and critic.
lie resides in the city but is over the
country lecturing good deal.
He conducted the Literary Messenger in
Richmond with great success Tor many
years.
TLere, too, is Josiah G. Mott, Of Mobile,
the most distinguished SdUdn of the South.
His name is known to the scientific world
through The Types of UdnkiRd, published
in CONJUNCTION with Mr.. GliddOn several
years ago. But DR.. Mott, be,iGes his high
position as physician, has published sew
eral able scientific works, and is a frequent
contributor to the journal of Science.
OF ladies', there is Miss Nelly Marshall, Of
Kentucky, who is a univeI sal iavorite in the
West aud South. She is known better as
a writer OF tict on than as poet, though her
poetry has in 1t the clear ling of the Mrs.
Norton School.
Add Miss Brock, Of Virginia, whose Rick-
mond During the War brought her favorably
before the book reading public a year ago,
is also resident in our city. She devoles
herself entirely to her pen, both in fiction
and verse.
Then, adjacent to the field Of letters, is
that # music ; and in this the representa-
tive is MISS McCulioch, Of Max Maretzek's
great opera troupe, OF whom We made men
ton day or two ago.
One step further removed from letters
is the mimic stage; aud in this domain there
is Mr.. SlOman, a genius in his way-the way
Of concert shows, jolly songs, and "parlor
entertainments" He, too. has struck tents
aud is, with his musical family, deBizen of
the great Gotham.
There is yet room for more.
