vUNHE subscriber proposes, as soon as his sub
- scripton list, now IN progress, will warrant
the undertaking, to publish, in this city, b.
MONTHLY JOURNAL, exclusively devoted to the
advancement of the above objects. Its scope and
design such will not interfere with those of
any other publication now in existence at the
South. In every other department of Periodical
Literature, We are well supplied with ably-edited
and well-co duted Journals. The interests Of
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 more permanent basis,
and the condition ofthe working classes, in every
branch of enterprise, proportionaby 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, Il plan by
which their interests be made identical and
mutually dependent. Trusting that the object
will meet their appreciation, he will now proceed
to state the principles upon which 1t will be con-

Der, will make il the interest Of those concerned in
them to secure many copies as possible, for cir
culation among their friends and patrons.
Beyond this, "Tt r HOME JouRNAL" will make
no promises or pretensons. Not entering the
lists for competition with any, and standing in
the way Of none, it's legitimate sphere and aim will
be to promote the interests Of all--recognizing
party, in education politics, but the party Of
the South, it will seek to preserve the Union Of
the South, by developing her resources and slim
ulating the industry of her people.
