j. Richmond. early in January. the publication
CT Monthly Magazine, under the above title.
1t will present to its readers selections from the
best European Periodicals. Of Literary and Scien-
tific Artics, OF Novels. Tales aud Sketches. which
having already received the lmprimature of an
lightened taste, cai.not but prove acceptable to
the Southern public. The effort will be maze to
keep the reeders of the Magazine as nearly as pcs
sible abreast of the literary progress of the age
Arrangements have been made which, it is hoped
will enable the Propretorsto secure this end.
The Magazine will also present original articles
from our best writer's, in ali departments, and
special aim of the Froprietors OF this periodical
will be to foster Southern authorship by offering
| an adequate and remunerative field for its exer-
else. They viii nrt. however, under the plea of
this design, encourage, by reproduction in its col
umns, that class of compositions which create a
yapid and unhealthy TASTE to be stated only by
/ tt at hybrid literature which Yankee ingenuity
has contrired, under tie Name Of sensational ro-
nance.
The Industrial Resources and the Educational
Interest Of the Confeperacy-lhe twin foanda tons
CT all true independence-will receive the impor-
tant share OF attention they deserve In the de-
yeopment Of these questions, It's object will be to
make practical Application Of the doctrine of
States Rights to the Yolicy Of the country. 1t will
endeavorto explain the mission of the Cun.ederacy
which is to demonstrate liberty regulated by law
to exhibit a system Of States, each supreme with
aenetion of powers. 1t will vindicate those ele-
neIts Of National Independence, which are secsr-
ed by high standard OF in Intelligence And refine
nent, by accumulated capital, varied industry
and by abundant facilities ofintercommuncS ton.
1t will promote the adoption of al tsDse measures
in wl:ch the Confederate states are nov deficient.
And, whilst tire Constitution of the Confederate
States forbids the General Government to organ
ike and operate enterprises of nature calculated
TO attain these results, the projectors viii consider
it their duty to t.rge upon the States the develop
ment of interests 50 indispensable to the national
Tefare' 1t is thus that, through the aggregate
ability of the separate States, the power Of the
Confederate States will be made manifest, 1t is
thus that the collision of sectional interest ara the
oppression of common head will be avoided
