LETTERS OF A SENTIMENTAL IDLER.-H. II.
LEEcH.-This is one of the most wholesou
travellers we have met with for many day. Our
author goes dashing through Greece, Turkey,
Egypt, Nubia, and the Holy Land full of enthu
siasm, and as the reader moves along in the story,
he seems to be journeying with him. Since the
travels of Stephens in these same countries, we
have met with no one who so completely occupies
himself and the reader with personal narratire.-
We have grown tired of elaborate disquisitions
and descriptions of the great objects of antiquity
About living people and things we could hear
every month with undated interest, This book
is as lively as an oriental heaxQn which interest
ing little creature all touriss IRE, of course, ex-
pected to expatiate. It's a l2mo., of 463 pages,

The Editor says: With the April number will
end the third number of this magazine 1t was
begun in a period of mental dependency, financial
distress and general prostratiOn at the South its
object being to furnish pure healthy, home lit
erature; to vndcate the truth of history in regard
to events of the war;. and preserve record of the
grand heroism of our soldiery. In the latter re-
spect it has been recognized as the organ of the
Confederacy, by Southern soldiers everywhere, on
both sides of the Mississippi and it has as such
the endorsement of eighty Confederate Generals,
endorsements will embrace nearly every officer of
rank in the late Southern army.
Two serious obstacles have been in our way as
Publishers, and have materially interfered with
our success First, the printing and publishing in
country village. Second, there are comparatively
few points at the South where Checks and Post
Office orders can be obtained, and the mpossibility
of getting money through the mails has discour-
aged subscribers and heavily damaged our circu-
lation.
1t has therefore been deemed advisable to re-
move to a great commercial centre and to unite
with the NeD Eclectic of Baltimore The united
magazine will be called The Land We Love and
The Ne,0 Eclectic, and, although it will be one.
third larger than the old Land We Love, and
printed as handsomely and on as good paper, and
the price is 81 per annum, yet the unexpired term
of all our subscribers will be filled out with copies of
the new magazine. The unexpired term of adver-
Users will be filled out in like manner.
The new magazine will contain l2S pages and
steel-plate engraving in each number. As it is to
retain the military feature which has made The
Land We Love so attractive, it is to be hoped that
the public will give the new enterprise the same
cordial and generous support, which has been given
to the old.
The undersigned will be one Of the editors of,
and partner in, the new magazine.
After the st March, all subscriptions and all
orders from news dealers must be directed to 81
Lexington Street, Baltimore, Maryland
Exchanges will please notice the change
