The readers of the Continental are aware of
the important position it has assumed, of the
influence which it exerts, and of the brilliant
array of political and literary talent of the
highest order which supports il. No pub, lea
ton Of the kind has, in this country, SO sue
cessfully combined the energy and freedom of
the daily newspaper with the higher literary
tone of the first class monthly aud it is very
certain that no magazine has given wider
range to its contributors, or preserved itself
so completely from the narrow influences Of
party or of faction. In times like the present.
such a journal is either power to the land
or it is nothinr That the Continental is not
the latter is abundantly evidenced by whdt ii
has doRe--by the reflection Of its councils in
many important public events, and in the char
acter and power Of those who are its staunch-
est supporters
BY the accession of Hon. Robert J. Walker
and Hon. +. p. Stanton 10 its editorial corps
the Continental acquires strength and q
political Significance which, to those who are
aware OF the ability aud experience Of these
gentlemen, must elevate it to position far
above any previously occupied by any publi-
cation Of the kind in America Preserving
all ''the boIdness. y;gor, and ability" which
a thousand journals have attributed to it, it
will at once greatly enlarge its circle of action.

most distinguished Ior ability, are 10 become
its contributors and it is no mere "fattcring
promise of a prospectus" to say, that this
magazine for the times" will employ the first
intellect in America, 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, beside his
editorial labors, continue his brilliant contri-
buttons to its pages and Edmund Kirke, au-
thor of "Arnong the Pines" will contribute to
each issue, having already begun work on
Southern Life and Society, which will be
found far more widely descriptive, and in all
spects, superior to the Erst.
While the Continental will express decided
opinions on the great questions of the day, it
will not be mere political journal much
the larger portion of its colnnus will be en-
jivened, as heretofore, by tales, poetry, and
humor In a word, the Continental will be
found, under its new staff of Editors, occupy
ing position and presenting attractions
