Southern Writers. |.
kxrhangr

FhChangc.
 There IS one thlng, says southern pa per, in which the northern people are not hidebound or selfish. They will buy southern books and read them and praise them. It is perhaps not too much to say that southern writers of genius arc nore accurately and more highly appre ciated in the educated north than they are in unless we are to make an exception of Poe. Poe was too caustic in his com ments on the New England writers no; to rouse prejudice again$, himself, and he had to conquer America in Europe. In Europe he stands with Cooper as the rep resentative American author.
 Probably "Uncle Remus" has really more thorough appreciation in the north than in the south. Charles Egber Grad dsck (Miss Murfree) finds her surest way to fame and money through northern channels. We suspect that S,dGey Lanier has ten real admirers in the north to one in the south and Paul If. Hayne has more readers of his volume of poems in New England than in any five south ern states.
 We do not stop to consider why Ii is that the south fails to appreciate its best writers. The fact remains that criticisms in the leading southern papers are much less cordial, and in the main much less acute and just, than the criticisms iu northern papers and periodicals Of the best class, even when southern authors are under consideration.
