IL scriptiOn list, now in progress, Will warrant
the undertaking, to publish, in this city, BIZ
MONTHLY JOURNAL, exclusively devoted to the
advancement OF the above objects. Its scope and
design are such Is will not interfere with those Of
any other publication now in existence at the
South. In every other department Of Periodical

Southern Education and Home Industry, which
are indssoubly connected, have, as YET, no spe-
cial organ, devoted mainly to the advocacy Of
their Claims, and the record oftheir Joint progress.
With the general diffusion Of practical education
among the people, their industrial prosperity must
naturally be placed on a more permanent basis,
and the condition ofthe working classes, in every
branch of enterprise, proportonably elevated and
improved. 1t is in accordance with these views,
that the undersigned submits, with confidence, TO
the consideration Of those who feel interested in
both or either of these great causes, a plan by
which their interests be made identical and
mutually dependent. Trusting that the object
will meet their appreciation, he will now proceed

Quoted.
