4 Fanaaty J0urnot of Literature and NeWs tor
 Southern Readers.
 THE South has too long been dependent upon the Il northern cities for its periodical literature The weekly newspapers of Boston, New York, and Pha- delphia have swept like flood that part of the nation south of Mason and Dixon's line, many of them carrying with them some of the prejudices of abolitionsm; and incucating to greater or less ex tent, doctrines injurious to southern institutions This dependence of the mass of southern readers should be thrown off-and it is believed would have been long ago. there had been facilities in the South for the publication of first class literay papers,
 The Spectator,
 Is published by gentleman who has long been con nected with some of the southern dailies, and has been undertaken to supply this want-that of high toned weekly paper
 Of Southern interest and character. The general plan of the paperis follows: It has eight pages three of which are filled with the best articles Literature. Science and the Arts one to the editors comments upon passing themes; one to general news, foreign and domestic one to the inter ests of the Farmer the information on this page will be mainly derived from the Agricultural Bureau of the U. $. Patent Ofce; one to synopsis of the operations of the Departments of the Government: and one, during the winter, to report of the pro- ceedngs of Congress- altogether making plan which will be rgidly adhered to, and which is unequalled by any paper in the country, North or South.
 The SPECTATOR is printed on type and on fine paper Its quarto form makes it convenient for bind ing, and each annual volume being accompanied by full index, it will be most valuable paper for preservation and reference.
