A Southern Monthly Magazine.


yT,HE undersigned viii commence in the City of
Il Richmond, early in January, the publication
Of Monthly Magazine, under the above title.
1t will present to it's readers selections from the
best European Periodicals. of Literary and ocien-
tifc Articls, of Novels, Tales aud Sketches which
having already received the Imprimature of an en-
lightened taste, cannot but prove acceptable to
the Southern public. The effort will be MADE to
keep the reeders Of the Magazine as nearly as pcs
sbe abreast Of the literary progress OF the age
Arrangements have been made which, it is hoped
will enable the Projectors to secure This end.
The Magazine will also present original articles
from our best writer's, ia all departments, and
special aim of tie Propretors of this periodical
will be to foster Southern authorship by Offering
an adequate and remuneratiye field for it's exer-
else. They viii net, however, under the plea of
this design, encourage, by reproduction in its col
umns, that class of compositions which create q
vapid and unhealthy taste, to be stated only by
tt at hy brid literature which Yankee ingenuity
has contrived, under the name Of Sensational TO-
nance.
The Industrial Resources and the Educational
Interest of the Confeperacy-she twin foundations
of all true independehce-W receive the impor-
tant share of attention they deserve. In the de-
veopment of these questions, Its object will be to
make practical application of the doctrine of
States Rights to the yolicy of the country. 1t will
endeavo1to e3plain the mission OF the Confederacy,
which is to demonstrate liberty regulated by law,
to exhibit system of States, each supreme with
in its foundation, and only bound by voluntary
alienation of powers. 1t will yindicate those ee-
ments Of National Independence. which secur-
ed by high standard of in teligence and refine
ment, by accumulated capital, varied industry
and by abundant facilities ofintercommunie2tion.
It will promote the dcption of all those measures
in which the Confederate States nov deficient.
And whilst the Constitution of the Confederate
States forbids the General Government te organ
ike and operate enterprises Of nature calculated
to attain these results, the projectors will consider
it their duty to urge upon the States the develop
ment of interests indispensable to the national
selfare. 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 interes. and the
oppression of a common head will be avoided.

The Magazine will be devoted, may DO named as

eracy and Scientific, and Biographical Sketches.
