The Subscribers, publishers and propretors of the

1t might be enough for our present purposes 10 emo
here. We rejoice believe that the day OF South,
Srn lukewarmness the necessity OF mental culture
our own land, has gone by forever There is glo-
rious awakening. We have daily signs that South
ern literature is demanded. The MAGNOLIA ls demand

favor work in which the tone shall be manly, and the

II is very doubtful whether another word need be said
on this subject. We feel the sentiment of Southern
intellectual independence, every where, begiHning to
breathe and burn around US. 1t will he fault of
ours If we do not maintain its fires.
Our terms are as before-five dollars per anDum,-l

than year. Each number will contain, at least six
ty-four pages, which circumstances may occasionally

prompt always the addition OF the necessary pages
With this summary we conclude address TO the
friends of the South, Southern Literature and South
crn Institutions. 1t is not necessary to say how much
the Institutions of country depend upon its literature.
We appeal to citizecs in their behalf, no less
than The creation of national literature is,
next to the actual defence of country, by arms,
against the invader, of the first duties Of patriot
ism. We are probably feeble now from the too long
neglect of this duty But it is too late 10 reform the
error, and the time is approaching fast, when the in
telect of the whole South will be needed for the
conflict.
