DEVOTED TO
Literature, Art and Politics.
IT'S AIM WILL BE

FIRsT In Literature, to leave no province
unrepresented, so that while each number will
contain articles of an abstract and permanent
value. il will also be found that the healthy
appetite of the mind for entertainment in its
various forms of Narrative. Wit, and Humor,
will not go uncared for, The publishers wish
to say, also, that while native writers will re-
ceive the most solid encouragement and will
be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the
ATLANTIC, they will not hesitate to draw from
the foreign sources at their command, as occa-
sion may require, relying rather on the COM
potency of an author to treat particular sub
iect, than on any other claim whatever. In
this way they hope to make their Periodical
welcome wherever the English tongue is spo-
ken or read,
SECOND: In the term ART they intend to
include the whole domain of aesthetics. and
hope gradually to make this critical department
a true and fearless representative of Art, in ali
its various branches without any regaed to
prejudice, whether personal or national. or to
private considerations of what kind soever.
THIRD: In Politics, the ATLANTIC viii be
the organ of no party or clique, but will hon
estly endeayor to be the exponent of what its
conductors believe to be the American idea.
1t will deal frankly with persons and
with parties. endeavoring always TO keep
in view that moral element which tram
sends all persons and parties, and which alone
makes the basis of true and lasting national
prosperity. 1t will not rank itself with any
sect of antics. but with that body of men which
is in favor of Freedom. National Progress, and
Honor, whether public or private.
AS an earnest of the material at their COM
mand. they subjoin the following list of literary
persons interested in their enterprise wishing
it, however, to be distinctly understood, that
they shall hope for support from every kind OF
ability which desires the avenue of their col
umns, and in the remuneration of which they
shall be guided purely by their sense of intrin-
cic yoorif

THE BEAM OF DEVOTION.

BY GEORGE P. MORRIS.
] never could find good reason
Why sorrow unbidden should stay,
And all the bright joys of LIES season
Be driven UNDECIDED away.
Our cares would wake no more emotion,
Were we to our lot but resigned, er
Than pebbles flung into the ocean,
That leave scarce ripple behind.
The world hasa spirit of beauty,
Which looks npon all for the best
And, while it discharges its duty,
To Providence leaves all the rest:
That spirits the beam of devotion, ga
Whichlights us through life to its close,
Aud sets, like the sun in the ocean,
More beautiful far than it rose. saa

Obio's green hill=tops
Glow bright in the sun,
And yield us more treasure
Than Rhine or Garonne;
They give us Catawba,
The pure and the true,
As radiant as sunlight,
As soft as the dew;
And fragrant as gardens hHs
When summer is new.
Ofall the gold vintage
The purest and best
Catawba the nectar
And balm of the West.
Champagne is too often
A trickster lnalign, #.E
That flows from the apple
And not from the vine.
But thou, my Catawba,
Art mild as rose,
And sweet rs the lips of
My love, when they close
To give back the kisses
My passion bestows.
Thon'rt born of the vintage,
And fed on its breast, ~
Catawba the nectar
And balm of the West.
When pledg;ng the lovely,
This sDarkler we'll kiss;
When drinking to true hearts,
Well toast them in this
For Catawba is like them,
Though tender, yet strong,
As pleasant as morning,
As soft as a song
Whose delicate beauty
The echoes prolong;-
Catawba! Heart-warmer! T|as., .
Soul cheerer! life-zestl
Catawba the nectar
And balm of the West.

The F1RsT SIDE.-To those of our readers
who look to the FIRST side Of to-day's papc!
for reading matter Of general interest, we
need not here remind them that they will
be disappointed, as they will have become
aware of that fact before turning to Pc
rusal of this paragraph; but to such as de-
sire to preserve a number of important
enaetments of the last session of Congress,
we need not tell them that this number is
quite as valuable as many others that have
preceded it,
In the publication of the U. S. laws,
(Which is rather a matter of expense than
profit to the establishment we have en-
deavored to have it so arranged that.they
would not interfere with, or usurp the
place designed to be occupied by such ma
teriaI as goes to make up the reading col
umns of newspaper; and in the course Of
their publication this season, We believe we
have given nearly II not quite as much
weekly reading matter as either of the news
papers in Oregon in which those laws have
been published.
Owing to some irregularity in the mails,
the numbers Of the Washington Union,
containing them, did not come to hand un.
til several weeks after they were due, and
hence their appearance in this paper were
necessarily delayed; but having approached
the end, in sight Of completion, and being
anxious 10 have them disposed Of before
the proceedings Of the approaching session
of the Legislature shall commence to Grove
our eOlums, we were induced to give then
the entire "state-roOm" on the first side th
week. A small space next week will con
clude their publication.
