THE GREAT so UTHERN WEFETYI T H E SPECT TATOR:
 Washington City, DC,

fl Famaty Journal Qf Literature and NelUs for
 Southern Readers. VIE South has too long been dependent upon the northern cities for its periodical literature The weekly newspapers of Boston, New York and Phila- delphia have swept like flood over that part of the nation south of Mason and Dixons line, many of them carrying with them some of the preiudces of aboltionlsm; and nculcatng, to greater or less ex- tent, doctrines injurious to southern institutions rms dependence of the mass of southern readers should be thrown otf-and it is believed would have been long ago, if there had been facilities in the South for the publication of first class iteray 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 paper is as follows It has eight pages; three of which filled with the best articles on Literature, Science, and the Arts; one to the editors comments upon passing themes; one to general news, foreign and domestic; one to the inter of the Farmer--[t the information on this page will be mainly derived from the Agricultural Bureau of the U. $. Patent Ofice] to synopsis of the operations of the Departments of the Government; and one, during the winter to q report of the pro- ceedlngs of Congress; altogether making plan which will be rigidly 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 con venent for bind ing, and each annual volume being accompanied by full index. it will be a most valuable paper for preservation and reference.
 Subscription, Two dollars a year. No paper sem without the money. Specimen copies can be had on application to AUG. F. HARVEY.

To the Travelling COmmunity-WO WOlfe,s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps.

THE popularity of this article as a medical diet Il drink, and its intrinsic superiority over all other alcoholic stimulans established facts in the hsto ry of dietetcs, which no man ventures to deny.
 Even those who inveigh against the use of dtusive stimulants, under any circumstances have the condor to admit that Woltes Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is the purest of them all.
 It would be literally flying in the face of demonsra- tion to do otherwise for the most accurate and em- nent chemists of the United States have analysed the preparation, and pronounce it free from the delete rous elements found, in greater or less degree in every other kind of spurious liquor
