TIME subscriber proposes, as soon as his sub
- scrp,ion list, now in progress, will warrant
the undertaking, TO publish, in this city, a
MONTHLY JOURNAL, exclusively devoted to the
advancement of the above objects. Its scope and
design are such IS 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-edite
and well-con Quoted Journals. The interests o
Southern Education and Home Industry, which
are indissolubly connected, have, as YET, no spe-
cal organ, devoted mainly to the advocacy OF
their claims, and the record oftheir joint progress
With the general diffusion Of practical educatic
among the people, their industrial prosperity mus
naturally be placed on a more permanent basis
and the condition ofthe working classes, in every
branch OF enterprise, proporionably elevated anl
improved. IL is in accordance with these views,
| that the undersigned submits, with confidence, to
the consideration OF those who feel interested in

mutually dependent. Trusting that the object
will'meet thsir appreciation, he will now proceed

Quoted.

courage Northern agents, and their School Books,
and expose, in all their deformty and dupcity,
| the pernicous doctrines Of Abolition and hostility
to the South, which they have SO long been per-
mltted to instIl 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-
pecially, those which are most decidedly praotica.

| Reviews Of all School Books and literary work
published at the South--Reporls of Teach erss
Conventions, or extracts from them--of Coeg

erary Socleties-and of the progress flaw IN ed
ical military and free schools at the South vii
constitute the main features of this division c. h
work.

tended notices of the progress Of THE MECHANIC
AIRS AND MANUFACTURES, as well as all ether
branches OF lndustry-of Factories and Work

them to secure as many copies as possible, for cir
| cuation among their friends and patrons.
| Beyond this, "TEE HOME JOURNAL" will make
no promises or pretensions. Not entering the
lists for competition with any, and standing in
the way ofnone, 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.
