OF EDUCATION AND DOMESTIC INDUSTRY.

EDWIN HERior, EDlroR
V1NIIE subscriber proposes, as soon as his sub
Il scriprion list, now in progress will warrant
the undertaking, to publish, in this city, a BIZ
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-edted
and well'conducted Journals. The interests OF
Southern Education and Home Industry, which
are indssolubly connected, have, as yet, no spe-
clal organ, devoted mainly TO the advocacy of
their claims, and the record oftheir joint progress
With the general diffusion of practical educatie
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, proportonably elevated and
improved. II is III 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 can be made identical and
mutually dependent. Trusting that the object
wiIl'meet their appreciation, he will now proceed
to state the principles upon which it will be con-
Quoted.

courage Northern agents and their School Books,
and expose, IN all their deformity and duplicity
the perncious doctrines Of Abolition and ostility
to the South, which they have so long been per-
mltted to instil into the minds of our children
will be the constant and unceaspg 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
