1HE GREAT so UIHERN WEEKLY Y { T III SPECTAT TOR:
 WaShinOtOu C;ty n ~

4 Family Journal of Literature ana Ne,,o s,,
 Southern Reoders.
 HE south has too long been dependent upon tho l northern cities for its periodical litcratnra Th weekly newspapers of Boston, New York and Pb;la1 dephia, have swept like flood over that mart of th nation south of Mason and DiXon's line many nf them carrying with them some of the prejudices of aboltonism and inculcating, to greater or less ey tent, doctrines injurious to southern institutions II This dependence of the mass of southern readers should be thrown off-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 tos supply this wantthat 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 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- ceedings of Congress; altogether making plan which will be rigidly adhered to, and which is uneouaed by any paper in the country, North or South.
 The SPECTATOR is printed on new type and on fine paper. Its quarLo 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.
 Subscription, Two dollars year. No paper is sent without the money. Specimen copies can be had on application to AUG. F. HARVEY,
