The readers OF the Continental are aware OF
the important position it has assumed, OF the
influence which il exerts. and of the brilliant
array of political and literary talent of the
highest orier which supports it, No pub'lca-
tion of the kind mas, in this country, so sue
cc.sfuIlY combined the energy and freedom of
the daily newspaper with the higher literary
tone of the trst-claSS monthly; and 1t Is very
certain that magazine has gwen wider
range to its contributors, or preserved Itself
80 completely from the narrow influences Of
party or Of faction. In times like the present,
such journal is either power to the land
or it is no,hing. That the Continental is not
the latter is abundantly evidenced by 1chat it
has done-by the reflection of its councils in
many important public events and in the char
acter and power of those who are It's staunch-

By the accession of Hon. Robert j. Walker
and Hon. F. p Stanton to its editorial corps,
the Continental acquires a strength ana a

promise Of prospectus" to say, that this
"mngazine 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 kirkc, au-
thor of "Among 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
respects, superior to the FIRST.
While the Continental will express decided
opinions on the great questions Of the day. il
will not be mere political journal: much
the larger portion of its colnmu3 will be en-
liyencd, as her, tofore, by tales. poetry, and
humor. In a word, the Continental will be
found under its new staff of Editors, occupy
ing a position and presenting attractions
never before found in magazine.
