Magazine Literature.
The number of first-class Magazines in tliis
country, as compared with its vast population,
might appear small, yet it la larger than that in
England. Harper’s Magazine alone has as
great a circulation as all the literary’ quarter
lies and monthlies in Great Britain and Ire
land. The latter country supports only one
monthly of a purely literary character, the
Dublin University Magazine. Scotland has
three— Blackwood’s Magazine, the North Bri
tish Beview, and The Titan, for though the
Edinburgh Review and Tail’s Magazine aro
nominally Scotch, they are edited, printed,
and published in London. The Quarterly Re
view, the IVctlniiniier, Bentley’s Quarterly, the
National Review, Bentley’s Miscellany, the
New Monthly, and Ainsworth’s Magazine make
up the total of pure literary and critical re
views and magazines in England. Wo repeat
that tho circulation of all these put together la
not equal to that of Harper’s Magazine alone,
which may be estimated as about 220,000 a
month. , r, ..
Wo do not include any of tho London lite
rary weeklies In this account. All the Year
Round, and Once a Week have, between them
a circulation of about eighty to ninety thou
sand.
In this country tho periodicals of most
account, such as may be compared with those
abovo ■ enumerated, are vastly superior to many
of them. The patriarch of these is tho North
Amencun Review, which has always maintained
the character of being highly respectable.
Commenced in 1816, it was published every
other month, as a magazine and review, until
the close of 1818, when it was converted into
a quarterly. It has been successively edited
by William Tudok, Jaeed Spabks, Edward
T. Charring, Alexander H. Everett, Jodr
G. PALFnsr, Francis Bower, and from the
commencement of 1864, by Andrew Preston
Peabody. Its circulation has never been large,
nor its payments to contributors liberal, yet it
is generally well written.
Next in seniority is The Knickerbocker, tho
oldest of our monthlies. It was commenced
in Decembor, 1832, under the editorship of
Chahlbs Fenno Hoffman, and alter a few
numbers passed into the hands of Timotuy
Flint, a man of great ability, who conducted
it for a short time. Lewis Gaylord Clark
assumed the editorship since ita third volume,
in 1834, and has continued in that position
to tho present time. Associated with him, as
leading contributor, was his twin-brother, Wil
lis G. Clark, who “ died too soon,” in 1841.
Tho papers signed “ Ollapod,” collected into
a volumo of “ Ollapodiuna,” since his death,
have attained permanent popularity, and con
tributed largely to tho success of The Knicker
bocker. Lewis Gavlobd Clark is well known
as a racy, genial writer, and his Editor’s Ta
blo and Gossip will) Readers and Correspon
dents, which ho has not omitted once, we be
lieve, during an editorial roign of nearly
twenty-six years, have made him known and
appreciated very widely. During the present
year Dr. Noyes has shared tho labors of edi
torship s but the great feature of The Knick
erbocker Is what Mr. Clark writes for its con
cluding pages.
Tho Southern Literary Messenger, published
In Richmond, Virginia, is very little the junior
of tho Knickerbocker. It was commcnccd"by
T. W. White, who, after a time, employed
thaijite,El*: A- I’.iv nn ihu .’-ritlrixl denart.
ment, which he conducted for about two yearsV
It haa been edited by John K. Thompson, since
1847, with remarkable ability and tact, and
merits being better known in the Northemand
Western States than it is.
Harptr’a Magazine, established not quite
ten years ago, was originally intended, we be
lieve, .to consist chiefly of selections from the
British periodicals. We mean to write the
history of Harper* 3 Magazine , someday, so
we shall not hero anticipate that record. Suf
ficient to say that in a -very short time the
scopo of this periodical was enlarged and its
character changed. At present, with the ex
ception of Mr. Tiiackerat’s {t Virginians,”
now near its close, almost every line in Harper
is original, and well paid for. The best writers
here and in England figure in its list of contri
butors, and the illustrations, which are liber
ally, if not profusely given, might be exhibited
in comparison with those in any European pe
riodical as fine specimens of American draw
ing and engraving. The Monthly Record of
Current Events, the Literary Notices, the
Editor's Easy Chair, the Foreign Bureau, ami
the Editor's Drawer arc constant and peculiar
features in Harper , of great interest aiul various
merit. In the September number appeared
that remarkablo document, Judge Douglas’s
able paper,« Tho Dividing Line between Fc
doral and Local Authority. Popular Sove
reignty in tho Territories.” It is scarcely too
much to say that this article has been already
read by over two million people.
W r e should havo stated before this that the
price of Harper and the other American
Monthlies is only twenty-five cents, whereas
the English magazines, containing net nearly
so much reading matter, and no engravings,
sell for sixty. There are two popular and
well-edited Magazines (Godey’s and Peterson’s)
published in Philadelphia, which arc liberally
illustrated, and sold at even lower rates than
Harper. They have a very exteusiro circula
tion in all parts of the Union.
IYc now come to tho youngest of the Ameri
can literary monthlies. This is a Boston pub
lication, commenced two years ago, and bearing
tho name of tho Atlantic Monthly. From the
first it exhibited considerable ability, and
speedily obtained a large circulation—said
now to be 40,000 a month. It took up anti-
Southern politics, in a very decided manner,
soon after it was established, which has pre
vented Us largo circulation below Mason and
Dixon’s lino. Tho papers, since collected
into a volume, contributed by that genial and
thoughtful humorist and philosopher, Dr. O.
W. Holmes, under the title of “ The Autocrat
of tho Breakfast Table,” which appeared in
tho first twolvo numbers of tho Atlantic
Monthly, helped greatly to establish its popu
larity. Many of the best writers here, and a
few from abroad, have helped to make this a
capital periodical. It is understood that Pro
fessor Lowell is tho cditor-in-clief, and it
was lately announced that Dr. J. TV. Palmer
hud becomo an associate editor—chiefly in
view, we supposo, of engaging other than
Boston talent for the work.
The recent suspension of the publishers of
the Atlantic Monthly has caused an apprehen
sion that its future appearance would be
doubtful. There are no grounds for that
dread, for tho Atlantic Monthly will bo con
tinued at all events.
An early copy of tlib forthcoming October
number has reached us through Mr. T. B*
I’uaii, Gl5 Chestnut stroet, and wo believe it,
with tho exception of one article, (an extrava
ganza in tho shape of a story called « The
Wondersmith,” u wordy and weak attempt to
imitate the manuer of Hoffmann’s wild and ro
mantic novelettes,) to bo about tho very best
numberyct published. Among its contributions
are Tho Professor at the Breakfast-Table, who
discloses tho mysteries of pen and pcncilintho
locked volume of Isis —The Minister’s Wooing,
in which Aaron Burr and Madomo do Fron
tignac turn up again, and Mary Scudders
accepts tho hand ol tho old Minister—Roba do
Roma, describing the season of Lont in tiro Eter
nal City, and another chapter of Mrs. nowe’s
Trip to Cuba, fresh and racy. The oponing
article, on Daily Beauty, takes a wide range of
observation, but is especially instructive on
tho Rudiments of Dress; it describes hoops
ns “borrowed by bankrupt invention from a
by-gono age to satisfy craving fickleness,” and
says (with good reason assigned) “that a
gown which opens before seems, and is, more
beautiful than one that opens behind; the
lady’s maid is invisible.” We commend this
article to our ieanlc-reudcrfi. Rifled Guns is

another and very different subject, treated
here at some length, giving no small informa
tion on rifles and their' shooting. It predicts
that the Armstrong gun, now adopted into the
British artillery, at vast expense, wiU prove a
failure, if ever tried in field-practice in the
hurry of battle. It is loaded at the breach,
whereas Napoleon’s rifled cannon a|p loaded
at the muzzle. A short sketch, called La Ma
lanotte, evidently by a lover of music, is
very gracefully written, but only a frag,
ment. Out of several poems here we take
the following, which, judging from inter
nal evidence only, we take the hazard of at
tributing to Whittier :
The
Here, in this vacant cell of mine*
7 picture and paint raj Apennine.
In spite of walls and gyved wrist,
I gather ray gold and amethyst.
The muffled footsteps' ebb aud swell*
Immutable tramp of sentinel.
The clenched Up, the gaze of doom,
The hollow-resounding dungeon-gloom,
All fade and cease, as, mass and line.
I shadow the sweep of Apennine,
And from my olive palette take
The marvellous pigments, flake by flake.
With azure, pearl* and silver white,
The purple of bloom and malachite,
Ceiling, wall,and iron door*
When the grim guard goes, I picture o’er.
E’en where his shadow falls athwart
The sunlight of noon, I’ve a glory wrought,—
Have shaped the gloom and golden shine
To image ray gleaming Apennine.
No cruel Alpine heights are there*
Dividing ihe depths of pallid air y
But sea-blue liftings, far and fine,
With driftings of pearl and coralline;
And domes of marble* every one
All ambered o’er by setting ran
Yes, marble realms, that dear and high,
80 float in the pnrple-azure sky.
We all have deemed them* o'er and o’er,
Miraculous isles of madrepore;
Nor marvel made that hither floods
Bore wonderful forms of hero-gods.
Oh. can yon see, as spirit sees,
Yon silvery sheen of olive-trees ?
To me a sound of murmuring doves
Comes wandering up from ohve-groves.
And lingers near me. while I dwell
On yonder fair field of asphodel,
Half-lost in sultry songs of bees,
As. touobing my chalieed anemones,
I prank their leaves with dusty sheen
To show where the golden beet have bees.
On granite wall I paint the June
With emerald grape end wild festoon,—
Its chestnut-trees with open palms
Beseeching the sun for daily alms,—
In sloping valley, veiled with vines,
A violet path beneath the pines,—
The way one goes to find old Rome,
Its far away sign a purple dome.
But not for me the glittering shrine :
1 worship my God in the Apennine!
To ali save those of artist eyes,
The listeners to silent symphonies,
Only & cottage small is mine,
With poppied w.ture, sombre pine.
But they hear anthems, prayer, and bell.
And sometimes they hear an organ swell;
They see what seems—so saintly fair—
Madonna herself a-w&ndering there.
Bearing baby so divine
They speak of the Child in Palestine!
Yet 1, who threw my palettedown
To fight on the walls of yonder town,
Xnow them for wife and baby mine.
As. weeping, 1 trace them, line by hoe,
In far-otf glen of Apenmoe!
To prevent our readers the annoyance of
calling at the bookstores, to meet certain dis
appointment, we may as well add that the
Atlantic Monthly will not be regularly on sale
hero until the end of the week.

Letter from Wisconsin*
[Correspondence of the Press.)
Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 16,1859.
The aspect of political affairs in Wisconsin is at
this time particularly encouraging to the friends
of true Democracy. The recent Democratic State
Convention was composed of sensiblo men, and
comprised some of tho best talent of the State.
An excellent tioket was nominated, and resolutions
were passed expressive of the sentiments of the
great mass of the Northern Democracy. A very
feeble, foolish, and futilo effort was made to carry
a resolution endorsing the present Administration
in every particular. It was voted down by the
following majority: aye, the mover; no, all the
rest of tho Convention! The Democracy of Wis
consin are a unit in their devotion to the great
principle of Popular Sovereignty, and in their pre.
ference for Hon. S. A. Douglas for President—a pre
ference which will bo signified by tho delegation to
Charleston, and more effectually demonstrated by
carrying tho State, in 1860, for Douglas, the peo
ple’s champion.
Difficulties in tho Republican camp render the
success of the Democracy certain in the approach
ing fall election in this State. One of the most in
fluential Republicans in the State is open in his
hostility to the party tioket, and in his predictions
of defeat.
There is an enthusiasm among the masses in
tbeir support of Douglas never before witnessed.
Tho belief is every day becoming confirmed that
he is to be the next President. W.

[Correspondence of The Fran.}
New Yore, Sept 19,1859.
The good people of Brooklyn seeing how com
pletely the Central Park of this city has en
trenched itself in the, regards of the public, have
resolved upon something of the same sort for
themselves, but upon a scale of grandeur fa?
transcending any public grounds in either hemis
phere. The commissioners appointed last winter
to take the subject into consideration, have sub
mitted a report, recommending the location of a
park on the high grounds known as Ridgewood,
having for its centre the Ridgewood reservoir, with
the grounds attached thereto, amounting to forty
acres, which belong already to the city, to which
the committee propose should be added (he grounds
immediately surrounding, which belong to the
Evergreen Cemetery, as well as tboee belonging to
the Cypres Hills and the Jewish Cemeteries, and
such other portions of Usd adjacent thereto aa can
be purchased at the present time at a fair valua
tion, which altogether would make a park of nearly
twelve hundred acres, including such cemeteries.
These grounds may be so arranged as to form one
enclosure, and while each separate interest
may contrive its own direction for its spe
cial advantage, they may be so arranged as to
be thrown open to the public. The grounds
are acccessibta from all parts of New York
and Brooklyn. They now contain a natural forest
of gigantic, trees, comprising most of the Arbore
tum of this latitude, which fifty years will not see
equalled in the Central Park of New York. The
surface Is so varied that no artificial improve
ments, in that particular, would be required. It
commands a view of the ocean aud the entrance to
New York harbor; a view of the dwellings, com
mercial, and public buildings of a million.of peo
ple; an esplanade of regularly and eatOy-ln
dining surface for parade, ball and cricket clubs,
and other popular amusements, and a series of
lakes and ponds embosomed in forest, affording
means for fountains, skating, Ac. Such is the
m&goifieent domain which the authorities of Brook
lyn contemplate setting apart and dedicating for
ever for purposes of recreation, health, and enjoy
ment of the millions who are to come after us, and
be the occupants of the places we now occupy. It
Is a lofty and noble conception, worthy the en
larged liberality so characteristic of our city.
Our publishers are betowing themselves. Derby

Letter from Harrisburg.
CONTINUATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE
EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE EVAN
GELICAL LUTHERAN STSOD Or EAST PENJ3TL
VANIA,
[•Correspondence of The Press. 1
Harri&rcrs, Pa., September 19,1859.
The pulpits of the different churches in this place,
were on yesterday nearly all filled by ministers of
the Synod. There was preaching, also, by some of
its members in the county prison, end et the BUte
asylum. The sermon in the Lutheran church, in
the morning, was preached by Bev. C. W. Schaef
fer, D. D., of Germantown, the former pastor of
the church, after which tho holy sacrament of the
Lord’s Sapper was partaken, by members of the
Synod, and by the congregation. The communi
cants, including members of Synod, oould notbzve
numbered less than five hundred, and the service*
were characterised by a vary high degree of In
terest and solemnity. The Sabbath school aiteohed
to Dr. Hay’s church, one of the largest and moat
pro?porous in the State, was addressed in the after
noon by Rev. W. A. Passavant, of Pittsburg,
and Rev. J. E. Graeff, of Pine Grove.
After having spent half an hour in devotional
exercises, Synod re-convened this (Monday) morn
ing. J. G. L. Shindel, Eaq., appeared as lay
delegate from the Selinsgrore church.
Rev. R. A Fink presented his report as trea
surer. The aggregates exhibit the following
amounts paid in, duriog the current year, viz:
Synodical treasury, $202 1 7; Home Missions. $775.-
02; ForeignMisslons,s43l.2oi Education,sl.23l.-
02. It is to be observed, however, that these
amounts do not furnish a view of all the contribu
tions made by Synod to these* purposes, as in many
instances the disbursements are made by the con
gregations themselves.
A communication waa read from Dr. Cumin,
Inviting the members of Synod to visit the State
Lunatic Asylum.
Rev. C. A. Hay, chairman of the committee ou
that subject, made report on the annual communi
cation of the i&te president, wh*se recommenda
tions were severally acted 0 o by the committee;
and referred to appropriate committees. Revs.
Valentine, Sharretts, and Ehrehart were appointed
to prepare a minute on the death of Rev. Brum
baugh
The following members of other Synods, being
present as visiters, were admitted to seats as advi
sory members—via: ReT?. C. A. Baer, H. Baker,
W. M. Baum. J. Evans, D. Carver. G. W. Lalxle,
W. A Pstssavnnt, Dr. C. W. Schaeffer. G. M. Set
tlemeyer, Prof. R. Weber, and P. Millard. The
ministers of the other Harrisburg churches, of the
various Protestant denominations, were all, like
wise, invited to seats as advisory members.
The principal part of this day's session was oc
cupied in the reception of parochial reports, and
in hearing statements on the state of religion in
the churches of Synod. Many of these statements
were of the most encouraging character, exhibiting
a steady and healthful increase of membership,
and an augmented efficiency in all the departments
of religion and beserolenee. Some of the churches
arc full to overflowing, and the circumstances im
peratively call for the erection of new churches, to
supply which demand measures are being taken.
This appears, especially, to be the case with refe
rence to thd church in Harrisburg, and the English
churches In Philadelphia, who are evidently called
of God to adopt active measures, at an early date,
to provide for the increasing wants of the Luther
ans, by founding newchurches, and organizing new
congregations.
The thanks of Synod were returned to the North
ern, Central, and Pennsylvania Railroad', for the
favor extended to its members in granting them
tickets at a.reduced cost.
Rev. J.-A. Eeiss, D. D., pastor of St John’s
Church, Philadelphia, presented a letter of honor
able dismissal from the president of the Maryland
Synod, to which he formerly belonged, and asking
to bo received into connection with this Synod.
The request was granted. At the same time St John's
congregation umted with this body, and William
Mnsser, Esq., received as the lay delegate.
Rev. J. H. Benges, of Colombia, Pa., on letter
of honorable dismission from Pennsylvania Synod,
was received in connection with this body. At the
same time the congregation itself was received, and
Michael Clepper admitted as delegate.
Rev. A. S. Lick, of Pennsylvania Synod, to
whom an honorable dismissal was voted by that
body, but which was subsequently refused by the
president (Rev. Weldenl renewed his application
for admission. The application was referred to a
committee, consisting of Revs. Wedekind, Titus,
and Domer. This committee, after some delibera
tion, reported that Mr. Link be cordially received,
coupled with some requirements in relation to the
Trappo congregation, in which the difficulties in
relation to nis reception originated. The subject
elicited a protracted discussion, but befbrea rolo
was taken Synod adjourned.
