VyH E undersigned will commence in the City OF
J. Richmond. early In January, the publication
CT Monthly Magazine, under the above title.
It will present to its readers selestions frsm the
best European Periodicals, OF Literary and Scien-
ti6c Artcls, 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 10
keep the reeders of the Magazine IS nearly - pcs-
sible abreast of the literary progress Of the age
Arrangements have been made which, II Ia hoped
will enable the Proprietors to secure this end.
The Magazine will also present original articles
from our best writers, in all departments, and .
special aim OF the Proprietors OF this periodical
will be to foster Southern authorship by offering
an adequate and remunerative field for its exer-
else. They will 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
tkat hybrid literature which Yankee ingenuity
has c0ntrived. under the name Ut sensational ro-
nance.
The industrial Resources and the Educational
Interest Of the Confeperacy-th twin found atoms
Of all true indspendence-will receive the impor-
tant share Of attention they deserve. In the de-
yelopment OF these questions, its object will be to
make practical Application OF the dossrine Of
States Rights to the yolicy Of the country. II will
endeavorto explain the mission Of the Confsderaey,
which 10 to demOnstrate liberty regulated By law,
to exhibit system Of States, each supreme with
in its foundation, and only bound by voluntary
rnents Of National Independence, which are secur-
ed BY high standard Of Intelligence and refne-
msnt, BY accumulated capital. varied industry
and BY abundant facilities ofintercommunication.
It will promote the adoption Of all those measures,
in which tho Confederate States are now deficient.
And, whilst the Constitution of the Confederate
States forbids the General Government to organ
ike and operate enterprises Of nature calculated
to attain these rssuls, projectors will consider
II their duty to urge upon the States the develop
ment Of interests SO indispensable to the national
welfare. It 10 thus that, through tho aggregate
ability Of the separate States, the power Of the
Confederate States will be made manifest, 1t il
thus that the collision Of sectional interest and the
oppression Of common head will be avoided.
