The Origin of.‘Tinie." A writer in the New-Orleans Delta says : I do not wish to spoil a pretty illusion, but the real truth is that Dixie is an in digenous Northern negro refrain, as com mon to the writer as the lamp-posts( in New-York city, seventy or seventy-five years ado: It was one of the everyday It t tlosions of boys at that time in all their out-door sports; And-no one ever heard being more than Manhat tanlsland,":unt it recently, when it was er roneously suppoSed to refer to the South, from its connection frith a pathetic alle gory. When slavery existed in New- York, one Divy had a large tract on Manhattan Isytd, and a large number,of slaves. The increase of slaves and thein crease of abolition sentiment, caused an emigration of the slaves to more thorough sad- secure slave sections, and the he groes who were thus sent off naturally looked back to their old homes, where they had lived in clover, with feelings of regret, as they could not imagine any place ike Diif'‘. Hence, it bedame ern nnymons with-an ideal locality, eamliin ing ease; comfort, and material happiness of every dekrip'tion. In those days ne gro singing and minstrelay were in their infancy, and aiy suljeet that - could be wrought into a.ballad was eagerly pinked up. Tins was the case with Diu. It originated in 'New-York, and assumed the proportions of a song there. In its travels it has' been enlarged, and has gathered moss. ' It. has picked -up a -bate here and a note there. A chorus has been added telt, and from.fan indistinct chant of two or three notes it has become an etahohate aneLod. But the fact that it is not a Southern song cannot be rub. he out. The . fallacy is so popular to the eontraty, that I have thns been at pains to state the re-al origin of it. . r' In a country where the natural desire of' the people is to reach the highest plain; it Arr, it is very difilcult•for success to be obtained without the most arduous labor. Pub is opinion is extremely ex acting and not./Awaye just; but often ma, just and cruel criticism has produced the most beneficial -results; the greatest im provements have peen made under con tinued dicourtigicinete, and in many sue eessfol efforts defeat seemed certain to all except t hose concerned. In no one branch of art has there been more trials and fail ures, and in no single instrument is there so many d fferent parts to perfect in order to make the whole a success, as the Piatio Forte; this is always attended with great expense, requiring large capital and pa tient perseverance.

Edited by GEOWE RITLET and Cuanl.ns A. DATA, aided by a numerons select corps of writers, in all inanctiesi of acieus,e, art b And literature. In aq rept/ :tipl44c, ski(; 750 'dauble-4414n:tit piazokin • each *volume. The leading claims to public consideration which the New American. Cyclopmdia, possesses may be thud briefly stated : - It Amputees a/i-other works in-the In!nese and ability - of the articled rob:tingle the relied States. 2. No other work contains so many reliable biogra phies of the leading men of this' and other nations. In this respect it is far superior even to the more bulky Encycloptedia Brittanica. ...a. The best minds in this country have been em ployed in enriching its pages with the latest data, and the most recent discoveries in every branch of manu factures, mechanics, and gemtral science. At. it is a library in itself, where every topic is treated, and where information can be glena , d which will enable a student, If he is an disposed, to consult other authorities, tl.us affording him an invaluable key to knowledge. •• 5. It is neatly printed, with readable type, on good paper, and contains a most copious index. 6. It,la the only work which glees any thing ap proaching correct descriptions of cities and towns of America, or embraces reliable statistics showing the wonderfnl growth of all sections." Every one that reads, every one that mingles in soci ety, is constantly meeting with allusions to subjects on. which he needs and desires further information. In conversation, in trade.in professional life. on the farm, in the family . , practical questions are continually aris ing, which no man, well read or not, can always satis factorily answer. If facilities for reference are at hand, they:are consulted, and tiot'only is the cariosity puri fied. and the stock of knowledge idaeased, but perhaps information is gained rind ideassare stigge.sted that will directly conlrthaze to the business success of the party concerned. A Cyclopedia is preeminently the work for oar coun try and generation. This is the age of steam. No one has time to grope among o hundred different works for every little fact required, without the certainty of fiLd ing it at last. With a Cyclopedia, embracing every cone. ivable subject, and having its topics alphabeti cally arranged, not a moment is lost. The matter in question is found at once - , digeSted, condensed, stripped of all that is irrelevant and unnecessary. and verified by a comparison 01 the beat authorities. Moreover. while only men of fortune can collect a library eomplete in all the departments of knowledee, a gyeloptedia, worth in itself for purposes of reference at leant a thousand volumes, its within the.-resch of all,—tberclerla the mer chant,the professional man. the.farmer, the mechanic. In a country like ours, where the humblest may be called.to responsible positions requiring intelligence and general in'ormation, the value of such. a work' MO not be over-estimated.
