THE
CONTINENTAL MONTHLY.
EDITORS

Hon. Robert J. Walker, Charles G. Leland,
Hon Fred. p. Stanton, Edmund Kirke.
The readers of the Continental are aware of
the important position it has assumed, of the
influence which il excrts, and of the brilliant
array of political and literary talent of the
highest order which supports it. No publica-
ton of the kind has, in this country, so sue
ccssfully combined the energy and freedom
of the daily newspaper with the higher lit
erary tone of the first class monthly: and
aud it is very certain that no magazine has
giucn wider range to its contributors, or
preserved itself SO implicitly from the mar
row influences of party or Of faction. In
times like the present, such journal is Ell
Their u power in the land or il is nothing. That
the Continental is not the latter is album
dainty evidenced Jg what il has done-by the
reflection of its counscls in many important
public events and i'm the character and pow
er of those who are its staunChest support
ers.
Bv the accession of Hon. Robert J. Walk
er and Hon f. T. stanton to its editorial
corps, the Continental acquires a strength
and a political significance which, to those
| who are aware of the ability and experience
| of these gentlemen, must elevate it to po
sition far above any previously occupied by
any publication of the kind in America
| Preserving all i" the boldness, vigor and
ability" which 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
il is no mere - fiattering promise of q pros
pectus to say, that this a. magazine for the
times - will employ the first intellect of Am
erica, under auspices which no publication
ever enjoyed before i'm 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-
tributons to its pages and Edmund Kirke,
author Of among the Pines" will contrib
ute to each issue, having already begun
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, It
will not be a mere political journal much
the larger portion of its columns will be enli-
vened, Us heretofore. by tales, poetry, and
humor. In word, the Continental will be
| found under its new staff of editors, occupy
ing a position and presenting attractions never
before found i'm a magazine.
