the discussion on which side they spoke ana while he

in Boston, the North Amer1can Reoiep Up
out of New England. There has been nothing
until lately like the great quarterlies to which
we have referred to create stimulate and
direct II in other sections of the republic.
But New England cannot always maintain
'nat enviable ascendancy. Literary ability
and achievements must deyelop In other
sections with the progress of the country aud
the age. New York is destined to be, no
doubt, the centre Of literary growth for the
North, as Boston has been for the East.
Already we see tendency to this, and
starting point in the National Ouarteryy
Reoiea0, published in this city. Mr.. Edward
!. Sears established this few years aro. and
Is now the editor. He has shown remarkaha
ability, and has made bis review a worthy
rival OF the older quarterlies in New England
and Great Britain. There is ample talent In
this metropolis for work of this kind Of the
very highest order. Look, for instance, at
our daily and weekly journals. Though the
writing in them generally is not Of such
comprehensive or exhaustive character it is
marked by great vigor and good deal ol
originality. Our late war developed among
the correspondents class Of writer's that are
coming up for the future. Then there Is the
South, section Of the country which has
always had q number of original thinkers,
terse and foroible writer's and fine scholars.
Until within recent period that part Of the
republic furnished most of our great statesmen.
1t cannot be supposed that this intellectual
power is dead. 1t is only dormant, and will
surely revive with the new order of things
and as the South recovers from her late pros
trate condition. There is every reason to be.
lieve the mental activity of that fine Anglo
American people who live in the sunny South
will soon produce results in literature and art
as 1t formerly did in craftsmanship. The
abolition of slavery and the terrible ordeal the
Southerners have passed through must help to
bring about such state of things. We hava
entered upon new era in the life of the ma.
ton, as well rs in the history of the world.
and, if We mistake not, the North, South and
even the West will soon rise through the
quickening influence of the civilizing agents Of
this day to rival or overshadow New England
in literary and other intellectual achievements,
as well as in material progress.
The New York herald., 1870-10-12

CHIvALRY is on the wane in the Old
Dominion. A member OF the Virginia Legis-
lature yesterday refused TO accept challenge
TO fight duel on the ground that the State
constitution disfranchised duellists. The gen.
neman's prudence in declining to make his
body target for another mans bullets is COM
mendable, but his high moral ground is ques-
tionable. Doubtless his hope of Office in the
future was greater than his regard for his own
reputation or his objections to the code of
honor
