Sir: I have observed tliat as a man ad. j vances in life, he is subject to a kind of pic- j thoraof the mind, doubtless occasioned by ' tho vast accumulation of wisdom and experience . upon the braiu. Hence j he is apt to become narrative and ad- j monitory, that is to say, fond of telling j long stories, and of doling out advice, to the small profit and great annoyance of h'? friends. As I have a great horror of be. -coming the oracle, or, more technically speaking, the 'bore,' of the domestic cir. cle, and would much rather bestow m v wisdom anJ tediousness upon the world at large, 1 have always sought to easoff inflicted divers gossipping volumes - ?^ , upon the patience or tee puouc. i am urou, | however, of writing volumes; they do not afford exactly the relief I require ; there i* roo much preparation, arrangement, and pa rade, in this set form of coming before the public. I am growing too indolent and unambitious fur any thing that requires labor or display. I have thought, therefore, of se. curing to myself a snug corner in some periodical work, where I might, as it were, loll nt my ease in my elbow chair, and chat so. ciably wi h the pub ic, as with an old friend, on any chance subj -ft that might pop into my brain. | la looking around, foi this purpose, upon j the various excellent periodicals with which j our country abounds, my eye was struck by j the title of your work?'Tne ICniekerbock- j er.' My heari leaped at the sight. Dicdrich Knickerbocker, Sir, was one ! of my earliest and most valued friends, and the recollection of him is associated with ; some of the pleasantest scenes of my youth ful days. To explain this, and to show how j I came into possession of sundry of his j posthumous works, which 1 have from time | to,time given to the world, permit me to relate a few particulars of our early inter j course. I give them with the more confi- ; denoe, as I know thj interest you take in , that departed worthy, whose name and effi- j gy are stamped upon your title paj*e, and ! as they will be found important to the bet. ' ter understanding and relishing divers com- ' i-ionica*ions I may have to make to you. My first acquaintance with that great and good man, for such 1 may venture to call [ h ni. now that tin lapse of sometlilriy years j nas surrounded his name with venerable anti- i quity, and the popular voice has elevated j him to the rank of the classic historians of I yore, my first acqunnlance with him was j formed on the banks of the Hudson, not far j from the wizard reg'on of Sleepy Hollow. I He had come there in the course of his re. 1 searches among the Dutch neighborhoods j for materials for his immortal history. * * * * Here then, have I set up my rest, sur- J rounded by the recollections of early days,, and the mementos of the historian of the j Muchatoes, with that glorious river before j me, which flows with such raijes'y through his works, and whici?nas ever been to me ! a river of delight. I thank God that I was born on the banks of the Hudson ! I think it an invaluable advantage to bo born and brought up in the ! . . J .p 4 ?i.u ! neignaornooa or some grauu nuu uv?ui<- ^ ject in nature ; a river, a lake, or a moun- i tain. We make a friendship with it, we in ; a manner ally ourselves to t for life. It remains an object of our pride and affections, u rallying point, to call us homo again after all our wanderings. 'Tho things which we O O have learned in our childhood,' says an old writer, 'grow up with our souls, and unite themseives to it.* So it is with the scenes among which we have passed our early days; they influence the whole course of J our thoughts and feelings; and I fancy I J can trace much of what is good and pleasant J n my own heterogeneous compound, to my j arly companionship with this glorious rir- j er. In the warmth of rav youthful enthu-i siasm. I used to cloth it with moral attributes, and almost to give it a soul. I admired its frank, bold, honest character ; its noble sincerity and perfect truth. Here was no specious, smiling surface, covering the dangerous sand-bar or perfidious rock; j but a stream deep as it-was broad, and bear- j ing with honorable fuitft the bark that trus- j ted to its waves. I gloried in its simple, j quiet, majestic, epic flow ; ever straight j forward. Once indeed, it turns aside for a ' moment, forced from its course by opposing ' mountains, but it struggles bravely through j them, and immediately resumes its straight- i forward march. Behold, thought I, an em- ! blem of a good man's course through life ; I ever simple, open, and direct; or if over, powered by adverse circumstances, he de?.1 viate into error, it is but momentary; ' he soon recovers his onward and honorable career, and continues it to the end of his pilgrimage. s Excuse this rhapsody, into which I have been betrayed by a revival of early feelings. The Hudson is, in a manner, my first and last love ; and after all my wanderings, and seeming infidelities, I return to it with a hearLfelt preference over all the other rivers in the worlJ. I seem to catch new life, as I bathe In its ample billows, and inhale the p*ro Stools or If hr'ls. ft is true tho ro WWI?i?iwwmwpwiwwawi?ttaK?? mance of youth is past, that once spread | illusions over every scene. I can no longer s picture an Arcadia in every green valley,; < nor a fairy land among the distant moun. <t tains ; nor a peerless beauty in every villa gleaming among the trees; but though the illusions ofyouth have faded from the land, scape, the recollections of departed years i and departed pleasures shed over it the mel. I low charm of evening sunshine. {' Permit me then, Mr. 'Editor, throngh the j medium of your work, to hold occasional t discourse from my retreat, with the busy j world I have abandoned. I have much to j < say about what I have seen, heard, felt, and j I thought, through the course of a varied and j i rambling life, und some lucubrations, that < ! have long been encumbering my port-folio ; together with divers reminiscences of the venerable historian of the New Netherlands, that may not be unacceptable to those who i have taken an interest in his writings, and j are desirous of any thing that may casta I light back upon our early history. Let your readers rest assured of one thing, that, though retired from the world, I am not dis. gusted with it; and dial if,in my cummnning9 wi.h it, 1 do not prove very wise I trust I j shall at least prove very good natured. Which isjall at present, from Yours, etc., Geofprry Crayon. The Maine .Disturbance terminated.? From the following documents it appears that the temporary disturbance,on the North Eastern frrontier, which was created by the rashness of Maine, and which ortcc threat, encd to involve the country in the horrors, of a bloody .war, has been bought to a ter. 1 m nation. The Editor of the New York Courier and|Enquirer is so ^elated on the j occasion, and so much pleased with the agency of Gen: Scott in the matter, thct he suggests the General as a future candidate ' - *"? t rnI _ .. lor me rresiuency. 1 ne suggestion is at least as feasible as was that of Gen. Jacks:n when first made for the same office. The pacific achievement of Gen. Scott will not, however, produce so thrilling nor so du rable an excitement throughout the country as did the" Battle of New Orleans." Head Quarters. Eisiern Division, U.

Howard Malcom, in 1 volume 8vo. and 2 volumes 12mo., with a superb map of Southeastern Asia, five steel plate engravings and nearly 100 wood cuts. Characteristics of the Work.?It is not a mere diary of events which befel the traveller, but contains thousands of facts, dates, numbers, prices, &c. &c. which are either original or gleaned from sources not accessible in this country.I {^Incidents, anecdotes, and scenes have been j ' freely introduced, but only 6uch as tend to make tne reader better acquainted with the country. The most perfect impartiality is shown to eve sect of Christians, and such details given of the various missions as will make the work equally acceptable to every persuasion. ?ych Sketches are given of the history of the c untries, towns, and missions which are described, as serve to throw light upon their present ( condition. , The map is boaulifully executed, and may be considered original. Many important corrections have been made bv actual observation, and the remainder is chiefly drawn from original ' and unpublished surveys by British officers, engineers, and surveyors, to which the author was 1 politely granted access. t The pictures are wholly new, and form an im- ! portant addition to our stock of oriental illustra- < tions; no pains or expense has been spared in the < mechanical execution of these. Five are on steel, showing landscapes of Maulmein, Tavoy, Mer- < gui, and Sanaing, and a page exhibiting specimons of 15 different oriental languages. The < remainder are on wood, showing costumes, im. , plcments, buiidmgs, fruits, Ac. I A great part of the work re'ates to countries almost entirely unknown, even to the best in- i , formed persons in our country. j Though the work contains a large amount of . missionary and religious details, yet it oonsists chiefly of geographical, historical, political, and statistical information, designed for general rou- ' ders. ' The author, from the important character of J his mission, his intercourse with distinguished civilians and experienced missionaries, his delib. ! crate stay at each place, his provious familiarity ; with foreign countries, and his long experience < in the Board of Missions, enjoyed the highest advantage* for gathering ample and correct dc- , tails." * A*Stoa thff 0f conducting modern missions; on the measure ofsuccess which has! attended the enterprise ; on the almost unknown { tribes in and around Burraah ; and other, impor* i taut subjects, are added at the close of the work, ! and constitute no small part of its value. A laborious and complete index is appended to t the work ; togclher with a glossary of oriental terms; in which three hundred and eighty words \ aro not only lucidly defined, but accented so as to show their proper pronunciation. t The- cost of the two volumes will probably not ( ?8DO II nna r\f i CAV/OVU^?
