FVNHE subscriber proposes, as soon as his sub
Il scrptlon 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 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 edited
and well-coL Quoted Journals. The interests of
Southern Education and Home Industry, which
are indssolubly connected, have, as yet, no spe-
cial organ, devoted mainly Co the advocacy Of
their claims, and the record oftheir joint progress.
With the general diffusion of practical education
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, proportionably elevated and
improved. Ii 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 can be made identical and
mutually dependent. Trusting that the object
will meet their approbation he will now pr fSeed
10 state the principles upon which it will be con
Quoted.
To advocate, strictly and exclusively, Southern
Educaton-the encouragement Of our own Liter
airy Institutions, and the publication OF Southern
the Southern States-to bring into prominent no
tice all literary undertakings, Books and Period
icals, Colleges and Schools, at the South-to dis
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-
mitted to lnstil into the minds of our children
will be the constant and unceasing aim of this de-
pertinent. of the work; and, for this purpose, the
Editor, with the assistance of ready contributors,
has abundant facilities at hand. bile awarding
all due merit to other systems Of education, it will
be the aim OF this Journal to promote, more es-
pecally, those which are most decidedly practical,
and best adapted to the active business of life.

Reviews OF all School Books and literary works
publisl. ed at the South--Reports Of Teachers,
Conventions, extracts from them--of Colleg c

erary Soceties-and of the progress of law, med
zeal, 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

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