The readers Of the CONTINENTAL are aware Of the
important position it has assumed, Of the indliencs
which il exsrts, and Of the brilliant array Of ppliti-
cal and literary talent Of the highest order which
supports it. No publication Of the kind has, IN
this country, so successfully combined the energy
and freedom Of the daily newspaper with the high
eT literary tone Of the h~rst-class monthly; and it ii
very certain that no magazine has given wild er
range to its contributors; or preserVcditselfso COM
pleteiy from the narrow inhnenees Of party or of
Faction. In times like the present, sneh a joaTnal
is either a power in the land or it is nothing. That
the Continental is not the latter IS ahunCanty
evidenced by what it has done-by the reflection Of
its eounsels in many important public events, and
in the character and power Of those who areits
staunehest supporters
Though bus little more than q year has elapsed
since the Continental was first established, il has
during that time acquired a strength and a signi-
fcance e~levnting it to q position far above that pre-
Viously occupied a streng tn and a political signi6-
viously occupied By ony publicatien~of the kind IN
America. In proof Of which assertion we call at
tention to the following facts:
l.. Of its poIicaI articles republishcd in pamphlet
form, a single one has had thus far, q circulation
of one hundred and six thousand copies.
2. From its literary department, q single serial
novel. "Among the Pines" hos, within a very few
months, sold nearly thirgy-fve thousand copies
Two other series Of its literary articles have also
been republished ia book form, while the drst pOr-
ton OF q third Is already IN press.
No more conclusive facts need be alledged to
prove the the excellence Of the contributions to the
Continental, or their extraordinary popularity; and
is conductors are determined that it shall not fall
behind. Preserving all "the boldness, VigOr and
ability" which a Thousand journals have attributed
to it, it will greatly enlarge its circle Of action, and
discuss, fearIessly and frankly. every principle in
uOlyed ID the great q~1estions of the day The drst
minds of the country embracing the men most
fsmiliar with its diplomacy and most distinguished
for ability, are AIMING its contributors; ana II Is
no more "fiattering promise of a prospectus tosay
that this "mag0zine for the times" will employ the
the first intellect in America, under auspices which
no publication ever enjoyed before in this country.
While tho Continental will express decided
opinions on the great gu estiOns Of the day, it viii
not be a mere political journal: much the larger
portion Of its columns will be enlivened, as hereto
fore, by tales, poetry and humOT. In a word, the
Continental will be found, under its new stan Of
Editors. occupying a dOsitiOn and presenting attrae-
tons never before found in magazine.
