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 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

Southern Education and Home Industry, which
are indissolubly 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

the pernicious doctrines Of Abolition and Hostility
to the South, which they have SO long been per-
mitted to nstI into the minds of our children
will be the constant and unceasing aim Of this de-
partment of the work; and, for this purpose, the
Editor, with the assistance of ready contributors,
has abundant facilities at hand. " lille awarding
all due merit to other systems Of education, it will
be the aim OF this Journal to promote, more es-

full notices of new enterprises, &C., in each num-
Der, will make it the interest of those concerned in
them to secure as many copies possible, for cir
culaton among their friends and patrons.
Beyond this, "THE HOME JOURNAL" will make
no promises or pretensions. Not entering the
lists for competition with any, and standing in
the way none, its legitimate sphere and aim will
be to promote the interests of al--recognizing no
party, in education or 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.
