ter, may be enumerated many Of The
most accomplished names Of which
The South can boast II may be
enough 10 say that we are still as.
sured Of The cooperation of all those
who have heretofore written for our
pages; to which we shall add, with
each successive issue Of the Maya
zine, other names no less able, by
which we shall furnish TO our rea.
dcrs a fortunate variety aud most
liberal supply, o the intellectual cdi.
bles which they desire. The Edto-
rial duties will devohe chiefly upon
Mr.. w. Gilmore Smms, whose ser.
vices we have secured TO greater
degree than before. The Editorial
bureau will be entirely surrendered
to his control, and his general super
vision of the work is hereafter certain.
He will nevertheless lie assisted by
the same gentlemen whose labors
heretofore have contributed so large
ly to endow this particular depart
ment of the Magnolia, with the intlu-
ence which it confessedly asserts.
1t might be enough for our present
purposes to end here. We rejoice
to believe that the day of Southern
lukewarmness to the necessity Of
mental culture, in our own land has
gone forever There is a glorious
awakening. We have daily signs
that a Southern literature is demand
cd. The Magnolia is demandcd.-
We are proud in detecting, in the
progress Of each days events, the dc.
cisive proofs that our people need, &
are determined 10 have a periodical.
which shall speak justly and fear no.;
which shall be equally true and bold,
in which criticism shall be free ard
can't, and opinion shall be unbiased
either by fear or favor; 4 work in
which the tone shall be manly, ard
he character and sentiment essen
tally and only Southern. 1t is doubt
Iul whether another word need be
said Oh this subject. We feel the SEN
iment of Southern intellectual indie
oendencc every where beginning TO
breathe and burn around us. 1t will
&c no fault of ours if we do not main
ain its fires.
