4 Fami7y Journal of Literature and Nous tor
 Southern Readers
 THE South has too long been dependent upon the Il northern cities for it's periodical literature. The weekly newspapers of Boston, New York, and Phila- dephia, have swept like flood over that part of the nation south of Mason and Dixon's line many of them carrying with them some of the preju.ces of abolitonism; and ineucating, to greater or less tent, doctrines injurious to southern institutions. This 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 literay papers.
 The Spectator,
 Is published by gentleman who has long been con neeted with some of the southern dailies, and has been undertaken 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 are filled with the best articles on Literature, Science, and the Arts; the editors comments upon passing themes; one general news, foreign and domestic one to the inter ests of the Farmer-(t the information this page will be mainly derived from the Agricultural Bureau of the U. s. Patent Otce one to synopsis of the operations of the Departments of the Governments and one, during the winter, to report of the prG ceedngs of Congress; altogether making plan when will be rgidly adhered to, and which Is unequale' | by any paper in the country North or South. The SPECTATOR is printed on new type and on nn' paper. Its quarto form makes it convenient for bind, ing, and each annual volume being accompaniea by full index, it will be most valuable paper io preservation and reference.
