YNHE subscriber proposes, as soon as his SUBJ
u 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 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-conducted Journals. The interests Of
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 educatio
among the people, their industrial prosperity must
naturally be placed on more permanent basis
and the condition Of the 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 either of these great causes, plan by
which their interests can be made identical and
mutually dependent. Trusting that the object

Quoted.

School Books, edited, printed and circulated in
tice all literary undertakings, Books and Period

courage Northern agents, and their School Books,
and expose, in all their deformity and duplicity,
| the pernicous doctrines Of Abolition and hostility
to the South, which they have so long been per-
| mtted to instil into the minds of our children
| will be the constant and unceasng 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, 1t will
be the aim OF this Journal to promote, more es-
pecialIy; those which most decidedly practical,
and best adapted to the active business Of life.

icaI, military and free schools at the South-will
| constitute the main features Of this division Of the
work.
| The INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT will embrace ex-
tended notices of the progress of THE MECHANIC
| ARTS AND MANUFACTURES, as well as all other
| branches Of industry--of Factories. and Work
shops, for the production Of every article Of do
mestic consumption or use, among us-and OF
new inventions, improvements, models, and de-
| signs in mechanism and the fine Arts-bringng

copies for S5-payabie at the end Of the volume,
in proportion, on the delivery o. numbers, 49,
| cents, and less by the quantity. The insertion
full notices of new enterprises, &C., in each num-
her, will make it the interest of those concerned in
them to secure many copies as possible, for cir
culation among their friends and patrons.
Beyond this, "TEE HOME JOURNAL" will make
| no promises or pretensions. Not entering the
lists for composition with any, and standing in
the way none. its legitimate sphere and aim will
be to promote the interests of all-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.
