ITS AIM WILL BE

FIRsT: Tn Literature, to leave no province
unreprcscnted, so that while each number will
contain articles of an abstract and permanent
value. ii Will also be found that the healthy
appetite of the mind for entertainment In Its
various forms of Narrative, Wit, and Humor,
willnot 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 t:rm ART they intend to
include the whole domain of aesthetics. and
hope gradually to make this critical department
true and fearless representative OF Art, in all
its various branches, without any regaed to
prejudice. whether personal or national, or to
private considerations of what kind soeyer.
THIRD: In Politics, the ATLANTIC will 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,
It 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 winch alone
makes the basis of a. 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
unlns and in the remuneration of which they
shall be guided purely by their sense Of intrin-
sic merit - JI

Governor Wise.

A Lecompton paper in Virginia asks
the Richmond Enquirer il it undertakes
to cxonerate Governor Wise from the
charge Of dislvyalty," and ifit evil per-
nit DouGLAs, WALKER and WISE and the
ringleaders Of this conspiracy, to commit
depredations upon the Democratic close?"
The Enquirer answercs, that Whenever
Governor WISE is charged with 'disloyal,
ty' or conspiracy, we pronounce the
charge false, come whence it may" and
that If the Lecompton paper I" Iesires to
make such charge. let it do so openly,
and me will hyt issue before the people Of
Virginia." Governor WIsE's course has
been the same as that Of DOUGLAS Of Hi.

We are sorry to tell the people Of this
congressional DISCREET that our own rep
resentative, JUDGE HALL, was one Of the
four who compelled the House Of Repre-
sentatives 10 recede from the noble and
honorable position which that body had
assumed upon this vexed question. We
are sorry because we look upon it as vir-
tually voting for the passage Of Lecomp.
ton, for we believe that the result Of this
backward movement-this "caving" dis
position, manifested By the opposition
will be the triumph Of the administration
in the final passage Of the measure. The
"Washington Uuion," the mouth-piece
Of the Lecomptonites, boldly declares that
the appointment of a Committee Of Con-
ference on the part of the House, fore
shadows the final adoption Of the Lecomp.
ton Constitution by that body.

Horrible Tragedy.

A deed OF iniquity has been committed
at Grass Valley, California, which ex-
ceeds in atrocity any crime committed in
that country. Michael Brennan destroy
ed the lives of his wife and three chill.
dren and then committed suicide. He
went to California some two years since
as agent of the Mount Hope mining com
pany: and the cause Of bis inhuman act
was embarrassment in his business mat
ters, as will be seen by the following
statement Of the affair by lady Of Grass
Valley .t So fr"s Hfsl. we
"Itis supposed that he did not tell his
wife that he had lost heavily, and was
deeply involved, more than ten minutes
before her death. As she was totally
unacqualn:ed with her husbands fnan-
cial condition, she knew nothing Of his
embarrassment and when he told her
OF his situation and what he meant to do
himself, the shock caused her to feel faint,
and she laid down on the sofa. AT this
time he handed her a glass Of claret, with
the deadly poison in it, which she dran',
thinking it was only wine, and that it
would revive her. A loaded pistol was
on the table, for use in case she had not
drank the wine. After drinking, she
clenched her hands and struggled some,
when he put the pillow over her face and
smothered her: then saturated a piece OF
sugar with the poison, and fed it to the
child. When the cook returned, he took
the eldest child, girl, and administered
the sugar to her. He then called the
boy, Bobby, into the room, but he ran
out crying "Oh! mamma !" but the faith
er followed him, calling him his little
man. took him up in lis arms, carried
him back, gave him some sugar and
smothered him. The girl, who was pre-.
pairing lunch in another room. did not
think anything unusual Of his Actions
After killing the entire family, the father
secured all the doors and sat down to
write, but hearing Martineau come, be

and that they would not bother about
lunch, but have dinner at Eve o'clock

The Ohio State Journal says that this
gentleman, late Lieut.. Governor Of this
State, attended the Union Prayer meet
ing at Columbus on Wednesday morning
of last week, and took part in the exer-
cises. He remsrked, in an earnest, but
subdued and humble manner, that
brought tears to many eyes, "that for
long years, the world had been his mas
ter, for it he had lived; to it he had Civ.
en- his strength and heart. But now ne
had chosen another and better master,
the Lord Jesus Christ. He spoke with
humility of bis unworthiness, and ascribed
his hope of salvation wholly to the grace
of God. He said that when first he yield
ed his heart to Christ, he felt inclined to
keep the matter TO himself and the circle
of his most intimate friendsss But soon
his conversion was published in the pa
pers. and he then felt tn at he had notice
served upon him, that, not only Godseye
but the eyes of the world were upon him
that it would be his duty in all his ways
TO exemplfy the power and blessedness
Of the religion Of t4e Gospel. He was
determined henceforth to bear testimony
for Christ, and live for his glory. b5,Ii 81
