HNEI E subscriber proposes, as soon as his sub
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 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 aby-edted
and welcor Quoted Journals. The interests of
Southern Education and Home Industry, which
are indissolubly connected, have, yet, no spe-
cal organ, devoted mainly to the advocacy Of
their claims and the record ofther 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, proportionably 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, plan by
which their interests be made identical and
mutually dependent. Trusting that the object
will meet their appreciation, he will n5w proceed
to state the principles upon which 1t will be con-
Quoted.

the pernicious doctrines of Abolition and hostility
to the South, which they have so long been per-
mitted to instil into the minds of our children
will be the constant and unceaslng 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-
pecially those which are most decidedly practical
and best adapted TO the active business of life.

Der, will make II the interest Of those concerned in
them TO secure ss many copies possible, for cir

Beyond this, "TI II HoME JoURNAL" will make
no promises or pretensons. Not entering the
lists for competition with any, and standing in
the way ofnone, it's legitimate there and aim will
be to promote the interests of all--recognizng no

the South, il will seek to preserve the Union Of
the South, by developing her resources and slim
