In the important struggle now going on
there is part for the women to play.
Many soldier has been cheered on his
way by the little comforts furnished him by
the hand of sister, mother, or a friend.
There has lately been a hospital established
at Leayenworth, for Kansas sick and
wounded soldiers, and the ladies of that
city have formed what they call a 'fSoljiers'
Aid Society,"" for the purpose of furnishing
the inmates of that hospital every comfort
in their power. A letter has been received,
addressed to tho ladies of Emporia and vi
cinity. by the Corresponding Secretary Of
the Society-Mrs. J. D. Liggett-asking
them to form similar society here. to CO.
operate with the one in Leavenworth.-
These societies will be of the greatest bene'
fit to our suffering soldiers. They have
already been formed in different portions o.
the State. We hope the ladies of Emporis
will not be behind their neighbors, in dis.
playing their bsnevolence. Let a society

PROSPECTUS.

There are periods in the worlds history mark
ed by extraordinary and violent crises, sudden as
the breaking forth of volcano, or the bursting
of storm on the ocean. These crises sweep
away in a moment the landmarks of generations
They call out fresh talent and give to the old a
direction. 1t is then that new ideas are born
new theories developed. Such periods demand
fresh expOnents, and new men for expounders.
This Continent has lately been convulsed by
an upheaving so sudden and terrible that the re.
latlons of all men and all classes to each other
are violently disturbed, and people look about
for the elements with which to sway the storm
and direct the whirlwind.. 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 connections.
At juncture so solemn and so important,
there is especial need that the intellectual force
of the country should be active and efficient. It
is time for great minds to speak their thoughts
boldly, and to take position as the advance guard
To this end there is special want unsupplied.
It is that of an Independent Magazine. which
shall be open to the first intelects of the land,
and which shall treat the issues presented, and
to be presented to the country. in q tone no way
tempered by partisanship, 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 esRROt be laid aside or neg
lected.
To meet this want. the undersigned announce
that early in December next, and monthly there
after, will be published, under the Editorial
