I'd the MAGNOLIA MAGAZINE, zhaVe great pleasure Z,
ninforming its friends and readers that, With The
close of the present volume, or June numbeso this
PERIODICAL its publication will be transferred from the
city Of Savannah to that of Charleston. This ar
is made in compliance with numerous
suggestions from both cities, ard is one which re-.
commends ITSELF at glance, to the judgement Of
most persons. The literary facilities Of Charleston
are in some respects superior TO those of Savannah.
II lies more convienty in the line fthe great thor
oughfares, East and West; and its population, being
so much larger, it necessarily combines the prospect 4
of greater literary and pecuniary patronage in be-
half of the work. The very considerable increase,
of its subscribers within the last two months, par
ticularIy in South Carolina, naturally prompts its
propretors toagreatcr outlay of effort in promotingy
along will, Che wtsbssof its friends,-the extern
sion of its own facilttes and means of Influence.
This change of the place of publication. however,
will imply preference in favor of Chassston oysr
our former ppblishing city. The work will be de-
lysicd osaihe same day in both cities-

efforts, and has been SO frequently productive of
modification to ourselves, and dissatisfaction among
our friends and readers. 1t is proposal TO publish
the Magazine simultaneously, in the four cities of
Savannah, Charleston, Columbia and Augusta, in
each of which agents Of character will te establish
ed, who will always be preparedswith the adequate
supply for subscribers in sufficient season for dev-
cry, on or before, the first day in every month. 1t
will be subject Of congratuaton to our friends to
hear as it is ofgreat pride and pleasure With our
selves to state, that the MAGNOLIA, like its noble
namcsake, having triumphcd over the first discourag
ing circumstances under which it was planted, has
taken permanent root and is now in condition Of Wig
and promise, Which jusfes the hope that it will
bring forth goodliest fruit and attain all the green
honors of hardy growth, long life and perenni-
al freshness to the last. Its subscribers incrcas
