GRAHAM AND Cooley, BOTH FOR 81 PER

THE WIDESPREAD CIRCULATION and ac-
l. knowledged ability of these popular Maya
zines, render long descriptions and elaborate puff
cry unnecessary. They are known and read in
every corner OF our country, and are as household
words in the mouths of those who pretend TO judg-
ment In Literature or taste In Art. The pens Of
our most accomplished writer's, we'll as the bu-
rins of the abest artists enlisted TO enrich and
adorn their pages-and all that is now famous in
letters or beautiful in engravings in the world of
periodical literature, is owing the fostering care
and lavish expense of these two prominent Anne
Tican periodicals.
Their initators fail altuays in equalling them for
want OF pubic support, and the poor dupes who
are led to subscribe to the hastily born enterprises
which spring up every year 10 delude the public,
with promises of wind and words of sound find
that these iue established toorks are as vet the opiy
reliable sources to which they can look for faith
ful performance OF all contracts entered into with
subscribers.
The publishers of Cooley and of Graham have
determined that for 1853 they will surpass in the
cheapness elegance and merit of their periodicals
ali that has ever been attempted, and as the works
are dlssimllar, have resolved TO place both within
the reach of all, who desire to keep thoroughly
posted up in the rapidly-improvng periodical lite
The best and freshest, both in Literature and
Art will be found in their ample and greatly n1uI
tplied pages, and they challenge the world to ex-
Gel or equa the IoI incoming volumes, either in the
beauty and cost OF their adornments, the merit and
amplitude of literary matter, or in the cheapness
and accommodating terms with which they are pre-.
scented to the American public.

For the camden JOurAal
Prediction has now become Fact

The results predicted some years ago when
the construction of IL Plank Road to Concord
was advocated, have been attained. An eX-
pendiure of one hundred and twenty thou
sand dollars would then have accomplished the
work-iuly one half of which would have been
subscribed elsewhere but the opportunity y
was omitted and the failure has dampened the
energies OF the friends of the measure. An
opportunity (and perhaps a last opportunity.
certanly The last but one,) is now presented Of
doing something to arrest the ruin impending
over the commerce of Camden. Does any
one doubt that ruin is imprnding2 Let him
go firth among the wise and experienced and
ask the question. There is not one who will
hesitate to assure him that the handwriting is
on the wall. Let the doubter then ask Of the

The Female College.

We are not at all surprised to find that the ac-
tion of the committee who located this College
ut Spartanburg is most strenuously objected to,
particularly by the people OF the low country.
We have never felt inclined to oppose the in
terests of our neighboring villages, but we have
earnestly called upon our citizens TO unite and
ioiu in just competition with any or all OF
them, wherever and whenever such competition
as invited, and the prize to be obtained gave
promise of important general good to them.
Nor vii. we now array ourselves in opposition
to our ncighborS, but feel constrained t" give
our views OF the resolution adopted by the Con
ference, for the guidance of the committee and
our opinion of what the Conference expected
of,he committee The resolution read thus
"ReSOlrcd. That committee OF five be ap-
pointed to receive any offers that may be made
on the subject OF establishing a Female College
in sume central or suitable position in this
State; and If they shaN deem 1t accessory TO
act in the recess IF tie Conference, they are
hereby clothed with power to do ST. us COM
missionrrs in behalf Of the South Chrolina Con-
ference"
We cannot believe that so intelligent and Sc
gacious a body us the Methodist Episcopal
Conference Of S. c., would entru>t so import
ant subject as the location of its Female Col.
lege to five members for final and definite ac-
tiun-however true and faithful servants of the
Church, they may have proved themselves TO
be. Our understanding Of the resolution is
that the committee should receive offers from
such locations as feel inclined to bid for its
establishment in their particular localities that
is the extent of one of the powers delegated to
them. But the power to locate the College
