TSHIS long established and well-known
IL Journal Of Literature having been re-
Gently purchased by the subscribers, will, in
future, be conducted exclusively under their
control In all its departments, both busi-
ness and editorial, the Messenger will be un-
der tho management of an entirely new re-
gime, and the Propretors are sanguine of
success in the future which the Magazine has
never yet realized, if their fricn1s and the
public shall yield them support worthy of
soimportant an enterprise, lookiugt 70 the adj
yancemcnt of the highest literary interest of
tho Conicderacy.
Argument or appeal in behalf of the i'm
portince of an elevated literature to our
country, the absencc'of which has hitherto
made us a by-word ofreproaches among the
older nations, and even now initiates ngainst
our Interests abroad, need not DO addressed
to those whom this circular is designed to
reach.
But to Tho attainment of this great end,
something more is necessary than mere YER
bal expressions ofsympnthy and encourage
ment The friends of Southern literature
must foster the efforts of our literary incn to
secure for us worthy position in the world
oflctters.
We design the Messenger to be an enter
prise worthy of support of all classes of our
people. We shall aim chiefly to secure for
our pages, the productions of tho highest
order OF genius and scholarship, and at the
same time such articles as will contribute to
the instruction and amusement of the public
at large. TO this end VIC slall give our at
tcniion to hnd solicit contributions from
Southern writersin all the departments of
Literature. Poetry, Romance, Review. Criti-
cism, in short, every subject whose promi-
ncnce is sufficient to enttlc il to notice, will
l,ave its due share of attention
We earnestly solicit the assistance of our
friends throughout the ConfeSeracy in tho
enlargement of our subscription list, which
must be increased TO enable us 10 meet the
heavy pecuniary outlay 20 which we shall be
subject.
Forthc present the price Of subscription
will be SlO'for twelve months ST for SIX
months, if the order is received previous 10
March !, 1860. After that date the subscrip-
ton will he $12, for twelve months, S8 for
six mo,th his. This increase will not affect
those who subscribe before the first of March
next. Orders must be accompanied with the
