subscribers propose 70 publish Ia the city Of New

Of ihe South, as a distinct branch OF The American
Confederacy, shall be maintained. and all leading

those interests, shall be discussed, and ihe great
cause Of learning and letters ID the South, shall be

~interest to our whole country and the present age,
