Monthly Magazine under tho above title.

tho best European Periodicals, of Literary

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-
ative field for it's exercise, They will not,
however, under the plea Of this design, en-
courage, by reproduction in its columns,
that class Of compositions which create a
vivid and unhealthy taste, to be stated only
by that hybrid literature which Yankee in
genuity has contrived, under tho name Of
sensational romance.
The Industrial Resources and the Educa-
tional Interest ofthe Confederacy--tke twin
foundations of true independence-wil re-
ceiye tho important share Of attention they
deserve. In tho development ofthese ques-
tions, its object will be to make practical
application of the doctrine OF States Rights

or to explain the mission ofth Confederacy,
which Is to demonstrate liberty regulated by
law, to exhibit system of States, eaoh su-
preme within its foundation, and only bound
by q voluntary alienation of powers. 1t will
vindicate those elements Of National nde-
pendence, which are secured by high stan
dard Of intelligence and refinement, by ao-
cumulated capital, varied industry and by
abundant facilities of intermunication. IL
will promote tho adoption Of oil those meas
ures in which the Confederate, States are
now deficient. And, whilst tho Constitution
Of the Confederate States forbids the General
Government TO organize and operate enter
prises of u nature calculated to attain these
results, the projectors will consider it their
duty to urge upon the States tho develop

tional welfare. II is thus that, through tho
aggregate ability of the separate States, the
power of the Confederate States will be made
manifest. II is thus that the collision of
sectional Interest and tho oppression of n
common head will be avoided.
