our arcders.
In the A Agricultural department, special
attention will be paid to the great interest,
Of the South. From our Planters, we will
endeavor 10 obtain much practical and
useful information which now lies buried
and known but to themselves. In order
that we may the more fully and effectaal-
y carry out this part of our plan, we pro-
pose to make frequent excursions into the
different sections, not only Of this, but al
so of the adjoining States, for the purpose
of personally inspecting and reporting on
all the various operations which may be
carried on, on the plantation we may visit.
BY pcrsring this plan steadily, las we
hope to do) much highly useful informa-
ton will be obiailcd, which cannot fail TO
be Of immense service 10 the Agricultural
community, inasmuch as our planters will
thus becnmc acquainted with the practices
Of other sections of The country, and may
from sine TO time adopt such as may pro-
mise greater recompence, Than those,
they may at the time follow. Nor shall
we conline ourselves to practical Informal
ton only, but from the rich stores Of know.
ledge which are to be found among our
planters, VIC hope to draw much which
will prove useful and interesting.
Horticulture will also claim onr atten-
ton, and we will cn,lcaror TO raise it from
tho low estate in which il now exists a.
mong us to one more worthy of it. We
will accordingly give not only practical
directions, for the cultivation of Fruits,
Flowers and Vegetables, but entering in-
to the scientific department, we will pub
Ish whatever we may find interesting
Descriptions of new fruits, flowers aud
vegetables, as well as their culture, will be
given from time to time. The forcing
department, wl3irl; is but little attended 10,
i'll the South, embracing the formation bEil
ding ard management Of hot beds, con-
scrcatorics and ho. houses will also be at-
tended TO.
Domestic an:. Rrra! Ecnnomy will rot
be neglected, but whatever we can llnd
likely to promote either, will be given i'll
our columns.
Sporting Intelligence, Anecdotes. On
Dts, ana vario,!s miscellaneous matters
which cannot wei be claSsct, will swell
our pages and add interest to CTR pcriodi-
cal.
In fur;hcrance cf o"r object, we will do
all in our power to render this Periodical
highly interesting ard instructive, and one
which shall he welcomed by every men,
Der of such families as may patonisc it.
10 effect this, while We hope to contrib
ute our share TO the Original Literature
of the day, as well as to add considerably
to the stock of Agricultural information,
yet we will freely draw from the sources
open TO lis, in the numerous daily, weekly
monthly end quarterly publications, which
embracing every subject, abound not only
in America, but also in Europe, ami from
these we will select only such articles as
may prove highly interesting or irstruc-
tive. The, sources which are open TO rs
in each department are ample, and we
trust VIC shall be able 10 render the SoUTlI-
EES COMPENDIUM highly acceptable visi-
ter wherever known.
Political and religious discussions will
bc excluded, aud while we have our pre-
ference TO both, yet we will not admit Of
any thing which may be likely 10 wound
the feelings oc our readers.
We lave thus skclched the plan Of our
periodical, and respectfully solicit for it
support, both by subscriptions and contri.
buttons.
