V1NHE subscriber proposes, as soon as his sub
IL scription list, now in progress, will warrant
the undertaking, to publish, in this city, b.
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-conducted Journals. The interests OF
Southern Education and Home Industry, which
are indssoubly 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 education
among the people, their industrial prosperity must
naturally be placed on a more permanent basis,
and the condition ofthe working classes, in every
branch OF enterprise, proportionsbly 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 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 appreciation, he will now proceed
to state the principles upon which it will be con-
Quoted.

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-
partment Of the work; and, for this purpose, the
Editor, with the assistance of ready contributors,
has abundant facilities at hand. W lille 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.
Essays on all subjects connected with Education

published at the South-Reports of Teachers,
Conventions, or extracts from them--of College
and School Exhibitions, and addresses before Lit
erary Societies-and Of the progress of law, med

constitute the main features Of this division of the
work.
The INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT will embrace ex-

ARTS AND MANUFACTURES, as well as all other
branches Of industry-of Factories and Work

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
