The Magazine also presents original articles
from our best writer's, in all departments,
and q special aim of the propretors Of this
periodical,wil be to foster Soathern author-
ship by Offering IN adequate and remuner-
ative field for its exercise. They will not,
however, under tho plen Of this design, en-
courage, by reproduction in its columns,
that class of compositions which create q
vivid and unhealthy taste, to be stated only
by that hybrid literature which Yankee in
genuity has contrived, under the name OF
sensational romance.
The Industrial Resources and the Educa-
tional Interest ofthe Confeieraoy-th twin
foundations of true independence-wil re-
ceive the important share of attention they
deserve. In tho development ofthese ques-
tons, its object will be to make u practical
application of the doctrine of States Rights
to the policy of the country. 1t will endeav-
or to explain the mission of the Confederaey,
which is to demonstrate liberty regulated by
law, to exhibita system of States, each su-
premc within itsfoundation, and only bound
by voluntary alienation Of powers. IL will
vindicate those elements of National lnde-
pendence, which are secured by high stan
dard Of intelligence and refinement, by ac-
cumulated capital, varied industry and by
abundant facilities of intermunication. IL
will promote the adoption of all those measS
ures in which the Confederate States are
now deficient. And, whilst the Constitutions
of the Confederate States forbids the General
Government to organize and operate enter
prises of n nature calculated 10 attain these
results, the projectors will consider it their
duty to urge upon the States the develop
fhent Of interests so Indispensable to the ma
tiollal welfare. IL 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 interest and the oppression Of
common head will be avoided. n,
