NEW ADVERFIsEMENS S.
OF THE
Continental MlontbID

There are periods III the worlds history marked by
extraordinary and violent crises sudden as the break
ing forth OF a volcano, or the bursting of a storm on the
ocean. These crises sweep away in a moment the land
msrks Of generations. They call out fresh talent, aud
give to the old a new direction II is .hen that new
ideas are born, new theories developed. Such periods
demand fresh expOnents, and new men for expOundeTS.
This Continent has lately been cOnvulsed by an up
beaving so sudden and terrible that the relations Of all
men and all classes toward each other are violently dis
turbed, and people look about for the elements with
which TO sway the storm and direct the whitlwind.-
Just at present, we do not know what all this is to
bring forth; but we do know that great results MUST
flow from such extraordinary CONNEXIONS.
At q juncture so solemn and so important, there is a
special need that the intellectual force Of the country
should be active and eficient. It is a time for great
minds to speak their thoughts boldly, and 70 take posi-
ton as the advance guard. To this end, there is a
special want unsupplied. It is that Of an Independent
Magazine, which shall be open 70 the first intellects OF
the land, and which shall treat the issues presented,
and TO be presented to the country in a tone no way
tempered by craftsmanship, or Influenced by fear, favor,
or the hope Of reward which shall seize and grapple
with the mOmentous subjects that the present disturbed
state OF affairs heave to the surface, and which can not
be laid aside OF } eglected.
To meet this want, the undersigned have commenced,
under the editorial charge Of CHARLES GODFREY LE-
LAND, the publication Of a new Magazine, devoted to
Literature and National Policy.
In Politics, il will advocate, With all the force at its
command, measures best adapted to preserve the one
ness and integrity Of these United States. y viii never
yield to the idea Of any disruption Of this Republic,
Peaeeably or otherwisej and II will discuss With honesty
and imPaFtiality what must be done 10 save it. In this
department., some OF the most eminent statesmen Of
the time Will contribute to its pages.
In Literature, it will be sustained by the best writers
and ablest thinkers Of this country.
Among its attractions will be presented, in an early
number, a New Sereal Of American Life, by Richard B.
Kimbali, Esq, the very Popular author Of The Reve-
lations Of Wall Street, i" "St. Leger," sc. A series Of

velopment OF the Great West. 4 series Of articles By
the sutbor Of Through the Cotton States 'Seontaining
the result of an extended tour In the seabOard Slave
States, just prior to the breaking out Of the war, and
presenting a startling ana truthful picture Of the real
condition Of that region. No pains will be spared to
render the literary attractions of the OONTENENTAL
both brilliant and substantial. The lyrical or descrip-
tive talents Of the most eminent iiterati have been
promised to its pases; and nothing will be admitted
which will not be distinguished By marked energy, orig
inality, and solid strength. Avoiding every influence
or association p~artaking Of clique or ~cOtsTie, 1t will be
open to all Contributions OF real merit, even from wrt-
tiers differing materially iR their vsews; the only limi-
tation required being that Of devotion 70 the Union,
excellence
The Editorial Department will embrace, in addition
70 vigorous and fearless clmments on the events Of the
times, genial gossip with the reader on all current top
les, aud also devote abundant space to the racy speci-
mems OF American wit and humor, without which there
can be no perfect exposition Of our national character.
