EDWIN HERroT, EDlroR.
YNEIE subscriber proposes, soon his sub
Il scrlptlon 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 abb -edited
and well-conducted Journals. The interests Of
Southern Education and Home Industry, which
are indlssolubly connected, have, as yet, no spe-
cial organ, devoted mainly 10 the advocacy of
their claims, and the record ofthelr Joint progress
With the general diffusion of praciical educatIa
among the people, their industrial prosperity mus.

and the condition ofthe working classes, in every
branch OF enterprise, proportioDably elevated and
improved. IL 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, a plan by
which their interests can be made identical and
mutually dependent. Trusting that the object

courage Northern agents, and their School Books,
and expose, in all their deformity and dupcity,
the perncious 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 unceasing aim of this de-
parment of the work; and, for this purpose, the
Editor, with the assistance Of ready contributors
has abundant facilities at hand. "a lille awarding
all due merit to other systems OF education, it will
be the aim OF this Journal to promote, more
pecIally, those which most decidedly practical,
and best adapted to the active business of life.

them to secure as many copies as possible, for cir

Beyond this, "T1E HOWE JoSRNAL" will make
no promises or pretensIons. 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 a-recognizing no
party, IN education or politics, but the party of
the South, it will seek 10 preserve the Union Of
the South, by developing Der resources and stin-
