W, M. MacKey, in dicted for;, libel ; in Charleston, and Sam Iee, presented for malversation fn Sumter. rhere is a lesson in such a history for the ; Radicals in other States to learn. Everywhere in the South has" the Radical party been corrupt, extravagant and ty rannical. In South Carolina it was per- hapsTviler, more hjgh-handed in its proce dure than, anywhere else. There, as every where i these Southern States, it has run its mad course. The Southern Radicals were encouraged and aided by the North ern leaders. , Now let those leaders' beware est these "curses come home to roost.'' A LLIANT NUMBER.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS. (Wilmington Star.) There is steady improvement. (New York Would.) Deserves the support of all Southern readers. (New York Sun.) We wish success to this interesting enter prise ; - . . ' (Weldon News.) It is a magazine of merit and we wish It much success. (Chronicle and Constitutionalist.) It richly deserves the cordial support of all our people. (Biblical Recorder.) It is printed in large, clear type and is a credit to the State. (Greensboro Patriot.) It is abiy edited, handsomely printed, and gives promise of being a very, very interesting publication. (Elizabeth City Economist.) ' Altogether creditable. . Its contributors are first-class and its mechanical and typographical execution excellent. (Hillsboro Recorder.) Its list of contributors is an an able one and if sustained, will ensure the permanent success of the enterprise. (Wilmington Post.) It is a first-class literay magazine, and one that the oeople, of this city should be proud of and pationize, as well as the people of the whole state. (Raleigh Obsekvek.) It is needless to say we wish it success, and that we look forward with pride,, as well as pleasure, to the r :sult of.the enterpise as one mat win renect honor upon the State. (Oxford Torchlight.) The typographical execution of the magazine is very tine, and in point of appearance, con tents, and indeed in all respects it is a publi cation which must commend itself to the public. (jGiRAHAM GLEANEH.) It gives promise of being eminently worthy of public patronage. No commendation of ours would equal a' simple statement of the table of its contents, with the names of the contributors, which we give as an evidence of of the worth of the periodical; (Farmer and Mechanic. 1 j Here we have a rich bill of fare from SoUth I ern writers, catered by a Southern lady and j printed by Southern printers, on Southern i paper. Ye who bewail the lack of Southern literature, and home-fostered talent, shall I tliis enterprise live, and expand? (Wilson Advance.) The magazine is well gotten up. The sub ject matter is varied and entertaining, while its typographical appearance is a model of neatness, and reflects the highest credit unon the exquisite taste and excellent judgment mai suggesieu ana airectea its consummation. (Norfolk Virginian.) . - This publication appeals to the people of the South for a staple support. It richly merits it and we feel will receive it. We know of no Southern literary venture that has exhibited so much merit, united with an evidence of management that must win for it a position in the ranks of magazine literature and hold it. (Petersburg Index & Appeal.) The South-Atlantic haR this merit over any ol its predecessors in the same arena, that its contents are iolid, though not Jjeavy, and that no room appears to have been intended in it ior productions of a trashy and frivolous character. While it continues to adhere to this rule, it will have every claim on Southern and general support, and we sincerely trust it will receive it. (Danville News.) This is a most excellent publication a mag azine of high character, an honor to the State, and a credit to the whole South. All its pages are filled with articles of superior excellence and interest. It has for its contributors some of the best known authors in the South,' ia ably edited and neatly printed. This splendid monthly deserves a liberal patronage as a first-, class southern enterprise. ' (Raleigh News.) , . Peculiarly Southern in its character, and numbering among Its contributors some of the best and most vigorous writers in the cotmtryV it bears upon its face the stamp of originality and force. The interest of its serial stories has never ceased, while the shorter, casual articles have been marked by a vigor peculiarly their own. All topics are discussed, and. thus the world's progress is closely followed The magazine has from its inception Veen received with peculiar favor by North Carolinians, nor have its merits failed to receive lust encomiums from persons of ability everywhere. tf The News and Courier, CHARLES TOW tf. c Daily Edition by mail, one year, Ho : jv months, $5: three months, $3, payable in a'i vahce.
