1t will present to its readers selections from the
pest European Periodicals. OF Literary and Scien-
ific Articls, Of Novels Tales aud Sketches. which
having already received the imprim ature of an en-
ightened taste, cannot but prove acceptable to
be Southern public. The effort viii be made to
keep the reeders of the Magazine as nearly as pcs
IDLE abreast Of the literary progress of the age
arrangements have been made which, 1t is hoped

oecial aim Of the Propretors Of this periodical
I'll be to foster Southern authorship by Offering
"a adequate and rehunerative field for its exeEe!
f!so. They viii net, however, under the lea
Bis design, encourage. by reproduction in its col
INNS, that class Of cong ositions which create a
apic and unhealthy taste. to be stated only by
at hybrid literature which Yankee ingenuity
as eontrived, under the name Of sensational ro-
bance.
The Industrial Resources and the Educational
interest OF the Conference.-The twin found ti6ns
all true independence-will receive the impor-
AIT share OF attention they deserve. In the de-
e.opU cnt of these questions its object will be to
lake practical Application OF the. doctrine OF

ELI promote the adoption of all those easures,
ga.cA tn Confederate States are nov deficient.
I'd, whist the Constitution of the Confederate
s4tea furods the General Government to organ
shd operate enterprises OF o nature calculated
attain saose resuls, the pro ecto:s will consider
sAcir ddty to urge upon the States the DEVELOP
yut Interests so indispensable to the national
efara' 1t is thus that, through the aggregate
sa.j;Y o. the separate States, the power Of the
afdIerate States will be made manifest. 1t is
that the collision OF sectional interest and the
oppression of common head will be avoided.
