ITS AIM WILL BE

FIasT: In Literature, to leave no province
.srepresented SO that while each number will
contain articles Of an abstract and permanent
value. it 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 unsared for, The publishers wish
to say, also, that while native writer's will re-
ceive the most solid encouragement and will
be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the
ATLANTIC, they viii 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 er read,
SECOND: In the term ART they intend to
include the whole domain of aesthetics. and
geographically to make this critical department
a true and fearless representative of Art in all
its various branches, without any regard to
prejudice, whether personal or national, or to
private considerations of what kind soever
THIRD: In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be
the organ of no party or clique. but viii hon.
estly endeavor 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
sceRds all persons and parties, and which 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
thew shall hone for supDort from every kind M
ability which desires the avenue of their col
umns, and in the remuneration of which they
shall be guided purely BY their sense of intria-
sic merit -

The Late Col. Lunsdcn.


Col. LuMsDEN, Of the New Orleans Plea
ytne, who was recently lost on the Lady FL
gin, was with the excursion party to Chicago
during the past summer. lie was the most
noisy and jovial of the three hundred. Dur
ing the journey TO the Lakes he was con-
stantly passing from car to car, whlstling or
singing on the way. Frequently, as we flew
by the little towns along the road, he would
stand upon the platform between the cars,
waving his hat and shouting" Huzza for
Bell" Sometimes he might have been seen
in the front car, where the wine was, holding
a little bell in his hand, which, at short in
tervals, he would ring as signal for those
present to advance and drain the flowing
goblet. Once we saw him standing near the
centre Of the car, when we were travelling
at the rate Of about fifty miles an hour,
speaking to car full Of delighted listeners.
lie expected to be called on for speech, he
said, every time the cars should stop, and he
wanted to practise so as to get his hand in.
Turning to some Of the railroad officials who
were in the crowd, he said" Gentlemen,
though we 90 not know the exact object Of
this grand hegira, yet from our hearts we
thank you. In behalf Of my companions, /
say to you, that your generous hospitality
will find hearty response in the bosofns Of
your guests. I had supposed your object
was to give Southern ladies and gentlemen
an opportunity to view your grand prairie
scenery. But, gentlemen, if that is your
purpose, let me tell you you are going too
d-d fastl" Just then the long train swung
swiftly round curve, hnd Col. l. was thrown
off his balance, and feIl against one of the
seats. Immediately recovering his perpcn-
dicular, he continued, as il there had been
no interruption-"G Gentlemen, If it be your
object to break a fellows reck, you are ac-
complishing it most id successfully"
Then was heard again the tinkling invitation
Of his little Lell Thus all the time Col. L.
was at.something at which afforded amusement
to the party. We believe they were few
who did not learn to know him; and a sight
at him always brought smile to the face.
The loss Of the Lady Elgiu, with three or
four hundred passengers, is one Of the most
terrible cstastrOphes ever known. But the
most sorrowful Of all It's sad events was the
hard fortune which destroyed happy fam
iy-father, mother, son and daughters
leaving not one to mourn the death Of the
Others. May they rest in peace, beneath The
blue waves

plause. Mr.. Lincoln knew that had answered that
question over and over again. lie heard me argue
the Nebraska bill on that principle AL the State in
1854 IN 1855. and in S56 and he has excuse for

question. II matters not what way the supreme Court
may hereafter decide as 10 the abstract question,
whether slavery NAV or NAV not 90 into Territory
means to introduce it exclude as they please, for
