COLONEL W. c. FALKNER, author of the
White Rose Of Memphis and the Little Brick
Church, is at the Peabody. We congratulate
him on The success OF his last novel, which
has been unprecedented in Southern litera.
tnre. II is a noteworthy book, as is evinced
By the sbuse heaped upon it by the fauatical
press of the North. Condemnation from
such a quarter has added to the sale OF the
Little BRICK Church. NoVel-writers generally
manifest great facility in giving interest to
the airy nothings OF polite and fashionable
society, but Colonel Falkuer has written a
novel which, while fascinating in its style,
gives much historical information While
the South is booming in her material inter
teresis it is hoped there will also be boom
in her literary progress. The large sale of
Colonel Falkner's TWO novels is favorable
omen. He is writer of vigor and freshness,
draws a vivid picture of slavery az it ex-
issed In the Northern States, and if the
Southern people desire to learn the origin
and wretchednsss of negro slavery as it
once existed in those States they should
read Colonel Falkner's last novel
