WHY CANNOT LITERARY PAPERS BE
SUSTAINED AT THE SOUTH 1
We noticed the sigiificanl fict, last week,
that the proprietors of the Southern Literary
Messenger have announced its discontinuance
in a short time. un!es relieved by their delinqu
ent subscribers. The question must naturally"
arise on such occasions, why such a fatality
generally attends southern literary enterprise ?
It is known to many of our readers that a paper
of the class called " literary " scarcely ever con
tinues in existence in the South for more than a
year or two. Wiihin the last three or four
yenrar and -within the rang of our own observa
tion, a number of such papers have been started
with " bri liant prospects of succe-s,1' at d have
gone down in sudden failure, leaving not a
shred behind. VUy is this so genera'ly the
c ise with us, when the North continues to sus
tain, aid-d largely by Southern patronage, hun-
dreds of magazines and so c died literary pa
pers, at subscription prices apparently so inade
quate ?
There are several reasons that suggest them
selves to us, op reviewing the subject, which
may be worthy of attentive consideration. One
is that no attempt has ever bien made in the
South, within our knowledge, to build up a first
..i ..... :i:... i u-....:. as..:
i-.icisn luuicai upuu n uhsi.x ui Miiiiuiem ill' 'iioy
capital. Such a publication cannot succeed any
where without abundant means in the hands of
enterprising proprietors to push it inio notice,
to canvass many of the states, to pn cure liter
ary contributions from practised pens, and (o
sustain an accomplished editor. We repeat it,
the attempt has never been made to build up a
first class paper in the S 'Uth upon the bisis of
capital, and until this is done, nobody need ex
pect to see a Southern periodical competing
lairly and successfully with those issued from
the northern cities.
Another difficulty is that the southern people
have little taste fir the wishy-washy imitation
of fashionable literature which is too apt to fi l
columns of such a pipr. The insipid verses
aud" spiritless tales with wfikh the columns of
northern ru igazines and weeklies are usually
crowded, are not attractive ti the better part of
southern society. That classof our people who
generally subscribe for northern papers, do so
for the sake of the elegant einbellishmenls, the
engravings, the fashion-plates they contain, or
on account of some serial novel that has beoun
to appear in their columns. The original"
contributions coniribute very little totheir value
in the estimation of our people. Of course they
cannut be expected to sustain a southern paper
on the special recommendation cf orginality !
They are too intelligent, too well-cultivated to
be imposed upon in that way.
Uut there is another caue operating still
more effectually agiint enterprises of this kind.
The southern peopie, like troops in a beleaguer
ed camp, are subject to constant alarms from a
h'St of enemies. The agitation of the subject o"j
slavery keeps us always on the alrt to meet
and repel invasion of our rights, and the think-
liner minds of the South are enarrossji far vjo
much by an impending crisis, an 1 by ararms,
nii nr i iMinnun mi- iiiu uuipi v 1,1 i ih kix m ill
el any profound interest in periodical or any
other
on of literature. This is indeed unwise
and unnecessary, but it is natural nevertheless.
It would be far better to operate through the or
dinary channels of influence, than to waste our
strength in useless political manoeuvering ; but
the fact is evident that this is one of the prim
ary causes of the" neglect of literature in the
South.

Queen Mary was a very exemplary and faultless
character, at least that her faults were such as
history might easily forgive in one who begun
life on the throne, and endd it on the block." It
is an amiable weakness, but a weakness in'.o
which the wise, the learned, the pious should
never be betrayed.. Had Mary Wen as uolv as
Elizabeth, the world would never have witness-'
ed half so many ridiculous attempts to prove
that she was not guilty of conspiracy, treachery,
and murder. David Hume writing to Dr. Ro
bertson, remarks, I am afraid that you, as well
as myse'f, have drawn Mary's character with
too great softenings. She was undoubtedly a
violent woman at all times. You will see in
Murden, proofs of the utmost rancor againsther
innocent, good-natured, dutiful son. She cer
tainly disinherited him. What think you of a
conspiracy for kidnapping him, and delivering
him a prisoner to the King of Spain, never to
recover his liberty till he should turn Catholic ?"
Hume was no Protestant bigot, and every body
who reads him and Robertson will see that
they both made as favorable a picture of Mary
as facts could possibly allow. But here we have
Hume's private opinion that Mary was an un
surpulous, cruel, and unnaturally wicked woman.
It is time that modern romances should ceas
from their efforts to elevate the beautiful victim
of Elizabeth's rage into a goddess of ideal virtue
She was at least a pretty, interesting young wo
man, of loose principles and a bad heart.

The Guitar has of late vears become so great

How the Malakoff was Taken.
The fol-
lowing account of the taking of the Malakoff, by
the correspondent of the London Times, would go
to show that a better watch on the part of the Rus-
sians might have made the second assault on the
Malakoff as unsuccessful as the first ;
At 10 45 General Pelissi, r and his staff went up
c u ol
iu me- i loiii-u foservaiory on me rigni. i ne
French trenches were crowded with men as close
as they could, pack, and we could see our men
through the breaks in the clouds of dust, which
were most irritating, all ready in their trenches.
The cannonade languished purposely towards noon;
but the Russians, catching sight of the cavalry and
troops in front, began to shell Cathcart's hill and
the heights and disturbed the equanimity of some
of the spectators by their shells bursting with loud
"thuds" right over their heads. A few minutes
before 12 o'clock, the French, like a swarm of bees
issued forth from their trenches close to the doom
ed Malakoff swarmed up its face, and were through
the embrasures in the twinkling of an eye. They
crossed the seven metres of ground which sepera-
taA thflm from the pnpmv t a few linonda thov
drifted as liarhtly and quickly as autumn leaves be-
fore the wind, battalion after hatalion, into he em-
bra ures, and in a minute or two after the head of
their column issued from the ditch the tricolor was
floating over the Korniloff Bastion. The musketry
was very feeble "at first indeed our allies took the
Russians by surprise, and very few of the latter
were in the Malakoff ; but they soon recojred
themselves, and from 12 o'clock till past 7 in the
evening, the French had to meet and defeat the re
peated attempts of the enemy to regain the work
and the Little Redan, when, weary of the fearful
slaughter of his men, who lay in thousands over the
exterior of the works, the Muscovite General des
pairing of success, withdrew his legions and pre
pared, with admirable skill, to evacuate the place.
THE LAST OF THE RAND0LPH3 A NE
PHEW Or JOHN RANDOLPH.
A Southern correspondent of the Home Joun al
sends it the following interesting ke:ch :
"During the summer of 1854, I had some busi
ness transactions which called me to the countv of
Charlotte, in lower Virginia. A u.ild and lovely
Sabbath morning found me seated in one' of the
comfortably cushioned pews of the village church
at tlie Court House. As it wanted a few minutes
to the hour of service, my eye wandered over the
large and respectful looking audience assembled,
and was finally attracted by a very eccentric in
dividual, who was just entering a rather aged
man, ti.ll, of dark complexion, long white hair
waving plentiful I j over his shoulders, and an equal
ly venerable beard flowing on his breast. His step
was active and graceful, his form erect and manly.
But his peculiar actions were in striking contrast
to his dignified appearance. At first I thought only
eccentric, but a lew moments of further observ
ation proved to me that he was insane.
" Immediately o entering the pew he knelt to
wards the wall, crossed himself, and, apparently,
repeated a prayer. He then fat down, drew out a
white cambric, delicately perfumed, wiped his
brow, removed his gloves, stroked his hair and
beard, took up his Bible, kissed it and read; ex
amined his cane, used his handkerchief again and
all the time keeping himself in constant motion. I
say all the time, but, occasionally, he was
passive for a few minutes his attenti. n, apparent
ly, aroused by Kme truths from the minister but
these times woe rare. His countenance assumed
all kinds of expressions. Contempt, alarm, plea
sure, earnestness, sorrow and ancr, flitted across
it in rapid succession. It reminded me more of
what children call ' making faces than am thing
else. J
"After the services were over, I ascertained
that this gentleman was 110 other than the nephew
of John Randolph, of Roanoke. He calls himself
Sir John St. George Rtndolph, and is sole heir to
h:s celebrated uncle. Randolph, himself, remark
ed with bitterness, daring his last day, that their
blooJ flowed in the veins of but one single Si-bm,
and he was deaf, dumb and insane. So much for
human greatness. The subject 'of this sketch al
though physicaHy, and now mentally, defective
had a mind cultivated in the hig'iest decree. In
his youth he was sent to Paris, where, under the
protection of a celebrated abbe, he received a
thorough education. Having the capacity to re
ceive and the wealth to comm ;nd, no p.iin were
spared in the improvement of his intellectual facul
ties. But it wan labor lost; for, on reluiiiin;.' ti
his home in Virginia, he met with and loved a
young lady, wh'm he addressed, but was refused
n account of nis physical defects. On becoming
aware of the tnitli lie was plun..'ed in the most pro-
but insane.
" He has considerable wealth, which is managed
by his friends; and, being harmless, he comes and
L'oes as he pleases, and is gratified in all whims.
WreckeJ as his mind is, he still commands respect;
and his pecu'i ir manners do not attract the atten
tion of his acquaintances, or exci;e merriment, a
one would suppose."
