WE have received a very indignant epistle from '_The Mail-Robber_,'
who read our last number at Saratoga, where he is temporarily
sojourning. We shall present it to our readers, with another
poetical epistle, in our September issue. 'Mohawk, a Cluster of
Sonnets,' by our friend H. W. ROCKWELL, Esq.; 'Green places of
the City,' by Mrs. HEWITT; and 'Thoughts at Niagara,' are in type
for our next. A word here to a few correspondents whose articles
were not named in the large list enumerated in our last, or who
have not been privately advised of the reception and disposition
of their papers: Where is our venerable friend to whom we have
been indebted for '_The Young Englishman?_' We look for him in
our next. The 'Treatise of Books' by 'R.' struck us as rather
stiltish and labored in its style, although its _thoughts_ were
unexceptionable. It was declined, however, because our port-folios
contained three or four papers on the same theme, for whose
insertion at some future day we have been looking for several
months. The 'Treatise' awaits 'R's order at the publication-office.
'H. W. R.'s indignation at the silly charge of plagiarism of '_The
Southern Pinewoods_' by BRYANT--whose lines on '_The Prairies_,'
written for the KNICKERBOCKER, furnished every thought and simile
for the imitation--would be thrown away upon a 'weak invention.'
The whole affair is a stupid joke, not worth a resurrection.
'Chronicles of the Past,' by an esteemed friend and contributor,
is filed for insertion. 'Peter Brown and Dolly Cross,' a Legendary
Ballad, and 'Night and Morning,' by 'W. H. H.,' bide their time.
They are 'booked.' 'T.'s 'Lines on the Death of a Young Girl'
are under 'hopeful' advisement. We shall be glad to receive the
'Inquiry concerning the Manifestation of Mind by the Lower Orders of
Animals.' The theme is a fruitful one. Notices in type, of several
new publications, are _unavoidably_ omitted.
