tieth volume. In issuing the prospectus OF the
Twentieth volume of the Southern Literary Mes
senger the proprietors beg 10 assure {, lne PUBIC
that no exertons will be RENTED on their part TO

ger has endeavored TO reflect faithfully the south.
ern mind while dsdaning all narrow and sectional
views. and has been alone among the monthly
periodcals of America, in defence OF the peculiar
institutions in the southern States. To this Office
il will still be devoted, and will be prompt TO re-
pei assaults upon the south, whether they come
under the specious garb of fiction, as in "Unce
Toms Cabin or in the direct form of anti-slavery
pamphlets. AT this critical juncture, while our
enemies are employing literature as their most po-
tent weapon Of attack, the southern people VIII
surely not withhold their encouragement from
work whose aim il shall be to strike blows in their
defence. -
readers with reviews, historical and biographical
sketches, novels, tales, travels, essays, poems,
critiqucs and papers on the army, navy, anu o'her
