| TIME Subscribers publishers and proprietors OF
j. the MAGNOLIA MAGAZINE. have great pleasure IN
Informing It's friends and readers, that, with the pre-
sent volume, or June number Of this periodical, Its
publication will be transferred from the city of Sa-
| vannah to that of Charleston This arrangement
| is made in compliance with numerous suggestions
| from both cities and is which recommends itself
| at glance, to the judgments of most persons The
literary facilities of Charleston are, respects,
superior to those of Savannah II lies more conve-
nienty in the line of the great thoroughfares, East
| and West; anal its population being so much larger
necessarily combines the prospect OF greater lite
rary and pecunary patronage in behalf Of the
work The very considerable increase Of its sub
scribers within the last two MONTHS particularly IN
South Carolina, naturally prompts its Proprietors to
greater outlay OF efirt In promotlng,-aiong with
the wishes Of its frends,-the extension of its own
facilities and means of influence. This change of
the place of publication, however, will imply no
preference in favor of Charleston former
publishing city The work will be delivered to
subscribers the day in both cities. The
new arrangement will also effect that desideratum
in the business department of all periodicals, the
punctual delivery Of the journal to subscribers when
due an object which has hitherto euded all our ef-
forts, and has been frequently productive of NOR
LITIGATION to ourselves, and dissatisfaction among
friends and readers. 1t is proposed to publish
the Magazine, simultaneously in the four cities of
Savannah, Charleston, Columbia and Augusta, in
ach of which agents of character will be established
supply for subscribers, in sufficient for de-
livery, on the first day in every month 1t will be
subject of congratulation to friends to hear,
it of great pride and pleasure with ourselves to
state, that the Magnolia, like its noble namesake,
having trumphed over the first discouraging circum-
stances under which it planted, has taken per-
manent root, aud is now in condition of vigor
and promise, which justifies the hope Il at il will
bring forth goodlest fruit, and attain all the green
honors of hardy growth, long life, and peren-
al Lac shoro
creasing daily its typographical garments will
be as flowing and beautiful as the best among its
contemporaries and among the fine intellects as
sembled and secured to maintain its internal cha
racter, may be enumerated many OF the most ac-
complIshed names of which the South can boast
1t may be enough to say that still assured of
the cooperation Of all those who have heretofore
written for our pages to which we shall add, with
each successive issue of the Magazine, other names
no less able, by which we shall furnish to our read
ers fortunate variety and most liberal supply, of
the intellectual edbles which they desire. The
Editorial duties will chiefly devolve upon Mr. w.
GILMORE SIMMs, whose services we have secured
to greater degree than before. The Editorial Blu
will be entirely surrendered to his CONTROL and
his general supervision of the work is hereafter GER
tain. He will nevertheless be assisted by the same
gentlemen whose labors heretofore have contributed
so largely to endow this particular department OF
the Magnolia, with the influence which it coniessedy
asserts.
end here. We rejoice to believe that the day of
Southern lukewarmness to the necessity of mental
| culture, in our own land has gone by forever
There is glorious awakening. We have daily
signs that Southern literature is demanded. The
Magnolia is demanded. We proud in detecting
in the Progress of each days events, the decisive
proofs that our people need and determined to
have, periodical, which shall speak Justly and fear
not (which shall be equally true and bold in which
criticism shall be free from cant. and opinion shall

which the tone shall be manly, and the character
and sentiment essentially and only Southern. 1t is
very doubtful whether another word need be said on
this subject We feel the sentiment of Southern in
| tellectual independence every where beginning to
breathe and burn around 1t will be no fault of
| ours if we do not maintain its fires
MIR. PC. PENpLEroN will devote the remainder
of the year to travel. He will visit our friends in
the interior of South and North Carolina, and
Georgia, during the present summer. The winter
he will give to Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana
The superintendent of the mechanical depai tment
will fall to the charge of BuRGEs & JAMES, who
pledge themselves that the Magnolia in topographic
air and costume, shall be worthy of the noble
| it bears. In this respect large Improvements are
| needed, and contemplated. The general plan of
the work will resemble that Of the Southern Litera-
ry Messengera journal confessedly among the neat
est in this any other country. These improve
ments will be made visible in the first number (Juy)
of the next volume and new series but still farther
improvements will take place in the two following
| numbers On this head we will not enlarge let the
| Magnolia be known by Its iruis.
| Our terms are as betore-fve dollars per annum--
payable yearly in advance. No subscribers for less
| than year. Each number will contain at least
sxty-fou pages, which circumstances may oc asion-
ally induce us to increase. The press of matter or
the reception of any article of great present interest,"
will prompt always the addition of the necessary
pages. With this summary conclude our address
to the friends of the South, Southern Literature and
Southern Institutions 1t is not necessary to say how
much the institutions of country depend upon its
literature. We appeal to our citizens in their own
behalf, no less than The creation of natural
literature Isl next to the actual defence of country
by arms, against the INVADER of the first duties
of patriotism. We arc probably feeble now from
the too long neglect Of this duty But it is not too
late to eform the error, and the time is approaching
fast when the intellect of the whole South will be
needed for the conflict.
