We have Just received from the publisher,
IT Elwond ZelI the first three numbers of the
CyclOpedia of American Liter ature from tne
Earliest Period to the Present Day. 1t is to
be issued in fifty-two semi-moEthly numbers
number. Should the work exceed the size
estimated, all additional numbers over the
fifty-two will be furnished to the subscriber
without extra charge. The design of the Cy-
clopedia is to bring together as far as possible,
in one work convenient for perusal and refer
ence, memorials and records of the writers of
this country and their works. There are nu-
merous instances of this kind, not merely re-
lating to authorship, but extending into the
spheres of social and political life,
which are to be sought for in literary biog-
raphy and particularly in the literary biog-
raphy of America, where the use of the pen
has been for the most part incidental to other
pursuits. The history of the literature OF the
country contained in the pages OF this work
ia not only an exhibition O.. art and invention,
of literature in its immediate and philosophi-
cal sense, but is also a record of mental pro-
eress and cultivation, of facts and opinions
which derives one of its main interests from,
its historical value. 1t is important to know
wha. books have been produced and by
whom; whatever the books may have been or
whoever the men. The course Of the tgradu-
al development of the mental pow
ers of the country has been most
faithfully mapped out in this literary
chart, by writers eminent for their scholarship
and thoroughly practised in the art of just
and impartial criticism. The colonial period
has been traced with especial care, and many
a curious bit of old prose and poetry is here
by embalmed for the edifcation of posterity,
which would otherwise have soon passed into
oblivion. 1t preserves the fac-sirailes Of the
autographs of great number of men prom
inent in the early history of our land. The
history Of our oldest educational institutions
from their inception and founding 70 .n'
present day, is also given. In colnpnns s-s,

thus CLEANED and now presented to the
world for the first time. The authors have
most judiciously selected extracts from cor
respondence, and forgotten records, and
books, as illustrations; and filed with them
the whole available extent of space at their
disposal. This work with its copious Illus
trations, valuable information on all matters
relating to our country's authors and their
works, and its excellent criticisms upon them,
is one which no person pretending to literary
tastes can afford to he without. Horace

ing with Mr.. JOHN MoRRIssEY, who, It
thinks, ought 10 change his name TO MI
JOHN MoRRIssEY, and finds that he has
some sensible views on the political cit.
uation. 1t appears that Mr.. WALLER,
late Governor Of Virginia, and now mem,
Der elect to Congress from that State,
called on Mr.. MoRRIssRY few days ago
to exchange views respecting the political
situation. Mr.. MoRRIssEY expressed the
opinion that all that the Democrats had
gained could be lost by Encouragement
in thirty days time. he thought there
were three things which should be
promptly done by the Democrats in Con.
gress First, they should reafIlrm the
public debt, which would do away with
the charge that they were in favor Of re.
puiiatiOn; secondly, they should formally
accept the fruits oil the war, and declare
that the issues settled by it are not to
DC disturbed; thirdly, they should take
grounds against the payment o! all claims

the war III were in Gov. TILDEN's
