The publishers of the SOUTHERN QuARrEsir
REVIEW beg leave to entreat the attention of the
public to that Work, to return thanks for the i'm
variable indulgence which has smiled upon its
progress hitherto, and to express the hope that
this countenance will not be withdrawn, now that
the publicption, passing from the hands OF the
former publisher into their own, makes, as it
were, fresh start in the pursuit Of well known
PROCESS. They cannot allow themselves to doubt,
that--with all their former contributors, with the
addition OF many new ones, not less valuable and
distinguished-under the conduct still of Mr.. W..
GILMORE SIMMs, its sole Editor during the past
year--and with the assurance which the subscri-
bers now beg leave to give, that the work will be
henceforward issued in style very superior TO
that Of the past, on better paper, with fine new
type, and with regard to neatness and finish,
which will leave it second to in the country
they will continue to receive that patronage which
thar own endeavor and the claims of such an Or
gan seem reasonably to demand. 8i lni3 siii ba
The writers for the REVIEW include the greater
number Of the best and ablest names of the
country. They represent the highest literary
talent of the South, and reflect truly, with na-
tive earnestness, force, and fidelity, the real poll
icy and the peculiar institutions Of our section.
We entreat the people Of the South, who feel
the importance OF such a periodical as the Review,
to excuse its deficiencies, and generously lend
themselves to its assistance. With their counte-
nance md concurrence, it can become the estab
Iished organ of domestic opipion--the champion
Of our rights and character abroad-the guide and
counsel to intellectual progress and proper taste
at homc--the arena in which the better minds Of
the country may always distinguish themselves,
and find the proper provocation to execution and
performance-the wholesome authority TO which
we may always turn for the correction and re-
straint Of crude and undigested speculation These
are all objects of The last necessity to civilized
people, who have anything to gain by enterprise,
or any thing TO lose by remissness and iDdifer-
ence. Once more, we ask from the patrons Of the
Review, indulgence for the past, and such sym:
pathy and support for the future, due to the
vital interests which it faithfully serves, and the
character which il seeks to establish

imperfect records OF the newspapers and the eiabo-

therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention 70

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguereotypes by Brady Engraved by
D'Avignon

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1855, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi-
Cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
iastrious in the service OF the country. Every pot
tion OF the work will receive the most careful attcn
on and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re
public. sF,zg gN5W
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken In the accomplishment OF this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
| Recommendation. His dagucrreotypes arc in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with tie soul
Of the living conntenance. II
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans oil taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris; and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
mediate supervision ~The Typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and as superb style the
Cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly Tor this purpose. ~
This work has nothing sectional in its scope; il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those only admitted whose talents
and public services have for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each OF the great de-
partments Of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great men Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend of our glorious Union, will respond to our ap
peal for encouragement and aid in ocommendable
undertaking, that its publication may make an in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
instrious men Of the Union together, consolidate
still more firmly. sE GgG
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach OF most OF citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following .sS. fttti az elg8Gi

the world at large, but OF those who, consti-
tuting majority, WELD the power Of our
own confederated States. We. must defend
those interests by all Legitimate means, or
else perish either in or without the effort. To
make successful defence, we must unite with
each other upon one vital question, and make
the most of our political strength. We must
do more-we must 60 beyond our entrench-
ments, and meet even the more distant and
indirect, but by no means harmless assaults,
which are directed against US. We, too,
can appeal to public opinion. Our assallant;
act upon theory, to their theory we can op
pose experience They reason upon an
imaginary state Of things to, this we may
oppose truth and actual knowledge. To do
this, however, we too must open up avenues
to the public mind we, too, must have an
organ through which wescan appeal to the
world, and commune with each other. The
want Of such an organ, heretofore, has been
perhaps one of the leading causes Of our pre-
sent condition.
There is no paper at the Seat Of Govern
ment through which we can hear or be heard
fairly and truly by the country. There is a
paper here which makes the abolition Of sla-
very its main and paramount end. There
are other papers here which make the main-
tenance OF political parties their supreme and
controlling object, but none which consider
the preservation Of sixteen hundred millions
Of property, the equality and liberty Of iour-
teen or fifteen States, the protection Of the
white man against African equality, as para
mount over, or even equal to, the mainten-
nance of some political organization which is
to secure a President, who is an object of
interest not because lie will certainly rule, or
perhaps ruin the South, but chiefly Tor the
reason that he will possess and bestow Office
and spos. The South has peculiar posi-
ton, and her important rights and Interests
are objects Of continual assault from the ma
lority; and the party press, dependent as It
is upon that majority Tor its means OF living,
will always be found laboring to excuse tie
assailants, and to paralyze all efforts at resist
anre. How is it now3 The abolition party
can always be heard through its press at
the Seat Of Government, hut through what
