THE RURAL
D. Wyatt Aiken, one of the leading
planters of this State, has become as
sociated with Mesrs. Walker, Evans &
Cogswell as joint proprietor Of this
valuable agricultural monthly. In his
notice announcing the connection, Co.
lionel Aiken says: "In thus uniting
myself with the enterprising firm of
Mesrs. Walker, Evans &Cogswell, moro
than a single motive will of course be
laid at my door; but chief amongst the
inducements is an earnest desire to lend
helping hand to develop and publish
the developments of our beloved
South. Whatever of agricultural ad-
vantages may have gained after a
practical plantation experience of
near twenty years, shall be given to
the Rural for the be,efit of others
Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogswell
state that Colonel Aiken "will devote
his time to travelling through the
Southern States gathering pratieal in
formation from all sections for the ben
eft Of our readers, enlisting CORES
pondents, establishing agencies and
extending our subscription list"
The January number of The Rural
Carolinian has, intrinsic merit rarely
equalled, and must secure favorable
consideration for the new firm.
Among the contents we especially no
tice the articles on Fish Culture, Lie
big and Agricultural Chemistry, Facts
and Figures for Farmers, Agriculture
Of Russia, the. Seq Island Cotton
Question, and The Culture of the OF.
ive-all Of which are frst-class arti.
cles of practical.interest, and evident
ly written by, men thoroughly conver-
SAINT with the. subjects Of which they
treat. The illustrations of this num-
Der are numerous and handsome, and
in appearance, as we'll as in contents,
the January number Of The Rural
Carolinian can fairly challenge COM
Eparison with any other: agricultural

their Code and presented it forthe
consideration of the present Legis-

Living Writers of tho South.

There is probably not a man IN
the Southern States better qualified
for presenting to the reading public
what the South has to show in let
ters, than Professor James Wood
Davidson. of South Carolina, whose
careful and well considered work
on living Southern writer's has Just
appeared from the lress of Garlic
ton. Himself the master of a puro
style, with pure taste, cultivated
by liberal study, and a Judgment
Tree from prejudice, he was admir-
ably qualified for the ta: k he as
sumed, and has discharged it we'll.
While by the very nature of the
case nc was tempted to magnify his
subject, he has been betrayed into
no tulsomc praises, and much Of
his criticism is remarkable for its
nice discrimination. AS an exam
pie of the spirit of fairness which
marks his volume, we may cite his
treatment OF the much vcxed ques-
ton OF the authorship Of the war
lyric of Cali Quiet along the Poto-
mac tonight" Which no one can
now pretend to belic-'e was written
by the Southern soldier who claim
ed it as his original production.
Mr.. Davidson has made out a long
list OF Southern writcrs-tLc num-
Der extends to two hundred and
1orty-onc-some Of whom arc
hardly entitled to literary consider
alton at all, but it cannot be denied
that he has done a real service to
the country by his pains-taSing
examination of the whole field.
Many readers Of the North will be
surprised to know how large part
OF the current literature of the day
is the work. of Southern men and
women. Perhaps no three writers
of fiction in the United States have
so many readers and admirers 1--WE
say this as fact, and apart altogcth-
er from their literary mcrits) as
Mrs. Terhune (N1arion Harland),.
Mrs. e. D. E. N. Sonthworth, and
Mrs. Augusta j. Wilson, nee Evaus,
yet is is not generally known that:
all three are Southern by: birth.
We note some trivial errors in pro-,
per names, as of MISC Crane (now
Mrs. Sccmullcr), author of ssEmily
Chester" improperly given as Grain;
and we mark some omissions, as
that Of Professor Schele De We're.
OF the University of Virginia, O
prolific writer and translator, and
that of John G. McCaDe, now
clergyman in Delaware, and there,
may be others. But these errata
and o'nissa may be corrected and,
supplied in q second edition, for
which we cannot doubt there will
be a demand.-Nca0 York Eeening,
