EDITORS ::

EDITORS:
Hon. Robert J. Walker, Charles G.. Leland,
Hen Fred. 7. Stanton, Edmund Kirke.
The readers Of the Continental are aware Of
the important position il has assumed, Of tire
influence which it excrts, and of the brilliant
array of political and literary talent Of the
highest order which supports IT, No prbhca-
ton of the kind has, in this country, SO snc-
cessfully combined the energy and freedom
of the daily newspaper with the higher lit
erary tone of the first class monthly: and
and it is very certain that no magazine has
giuen wider range to its contributors, or
preserved itself so completely from the mar
row influences of party or of faction. In
times like the present, such journal Is Ell
ther apower in the land or it is nothing. That
the Continental is not the latter Is abun-
dainty evidenced by ,chat has done-by the
reflection of its counsels in many important
public events, and i'm the character and pow
er of those who are its staunchest suppoSt-
ers.
BY the accession of Hon. Robert J. Walk
er and Hon. f. p Stanton to its editorial
corps, the Continental acquires a strength
and political significance which, to those
who are aware of the ability and experience
of these gentlemen, must elevate il to DO
sition far above any previously occupied by
any publication of the kind in America
Preserving all 81 the boldness, vigor and
ability" which a thousand journals have at.
tributed to it, it will at once greatly enlarge
its circle of action and discuss fearlessly and
frankly, every principle involved in the great
questions of the day. The first minds of the
country, embracing men most familiar with
its diplomacy and most distinguished for
ability, are to become its contributors and
it is no mere /" fattering promise of q pros
pectus to say, that this - magazine for the
times - will employ the first intellect Of Am
erica, under auspices which no publication
ever enjoyed before in this country
Charles Godfrey Leland, the accomplished
scholar and author, who has till now been
the sole editor of the magazine, will besides
his editorial labors, continue his brilliant con.
tributions to its pages and Edmund Kirke,
author of "Amohs the Pines will conty:STE
ute to each issue, having already begun q
work on Southern Life and Society, which
will be found far more widely descriptive, and
in all respects superior to the first.
While the Continental will express decided
opinions on the great questions of the day, 10
will not be a mere political journal much
the larger portion Of its columns will be enli X
vcned, as heretofore. by tales, poetry, and
humor. In word, the Continental will btf
found, under its new staff of editors, occupy
ing position and presenting attractions nevei
before found in a magazine.
