A Prophetic book.

Those indefatigable publishers. West & Johnston, have reproduced another book, which is having a great run, and, what is better, deserves to have it, ‘"The Portican Leader,"’ that celebrated novel published by the late Judge Beverly Tucker in 1826 and which so marvelously applies to current events that some persons, not acquainted with its have seemed to suspect that it must have been gotten up since the beginning of the present war. It is a shrilling and powerful narrative, but most wonderful in its character as ‘"a tale of the future,"’ new literally fulfilled. The present edition," is edited by Rev. Thos. A. Ware. For sale by West & Johnson.
