Prospectus OF "The Agc.D

n NHE Undersigned has commenced, i'm the
II City of Richmond, tho publication of
Monthly Magazine, under the above title.
1t presents to its readers selections from
the best European Periodicals, of Literary
and Scientific articles, of Novels and Sket-
ches, which, having already received the
imprimaturc of an enlightened tasto, canhot
but prove acceptable to the Southern public.
The effort will be made to keep the readers
of the Magazine as nearly as possible abreast
of the literary progress of the age. Arranp-
ments have been made which, it is hoped,
will enable the proprietors to secure this
end.
The Magazine also presents original articles
from our best writer's; in all departments,
and special aim of the proprietors of this
periodical will be to foster Southern author
ship by offering an adequate and remuner-
ativc field for its exercise. They will not,
however, under the plea Of this design, en-
courage, by reproduction in ils columns,
that class of compositions which create n
vivid and unhealthy taste, to be stated only
by that hybrid literature which ingenuity
has contrived under the name of sensa-
tional romance.
The Industrial Resources and tho Educa-
tional Interests of the South will re-
ccive tho important share Of attention they
deserve. In tho development ofthese ques-
tions, its object will be to make a practical
application of the doctrine of States Rights
to the policy of the country. 1t will endeav-
or to explain the mission ofthc Ccnfederacy,
which is TO demonstrate libertyregulated by
law, to exhibita system of States, each sn-
prcme within its foundation, and only bound
by voluntary alienation Of powers. 1t will
vindicate those clements of National Inde-
Pendenoe, which are secured by high stan
darh OF intelligence md refinement, by &C
culnulated capital, varied industry and by
abundant facilities of intcrmunication. 1t
will promote the adoption of all those meas
ures in which the Confederate States are
now deficient And, whilst'the Constitution
OF the Confederate States forbids the General
Government TO organize and operate enter
prises of nature calculated to attain these
results, the projectors will consider it their
duty to urge upon the States the develop
ment of interests so indispensable to the ma
tional welfare. II is thus that, through the
aggregate ability of the separate states, tho
power of the Confederate States will he made
manifest 1t is thus that tho collision of
sectional interest and the oppression Of q
common head will be avoided.
