WHAT THE SOUTHERN PRESS SAY OF
SOUTHERN SOCIETY.
We commend Souther Society to our peo-
ple. There are hundreds of persons in this
city who are constant patrons OF the sehsa-
tional and foolish pictorials published at the
North. We are, by purchasing TINS literary
trash fostering those who care nothing Ior
us and whose delight it is to insult us. II ls
time we should support our own institutions
and people, Southern Society Is emphatl-
cally Southern journal. southern men
and women write for it, Southern men pub
lish it, and it is conducted in southern CT
Y. Every one who loves the South ana de,
sires to see its institutions prosper, should
all the aid in his power towards establish
ing, on a firm basis, journal which Is des-
| tined TO reflect honor and credit upon TINS
country-the South.-MObiIe Tribune.
The intellect of the South never was more
active than it is to-day. The establishment
| of a new literary paper-Southern society
| to which we have already alluded, is an O.
vent to be hailed by us all with profound
| satisfaction This journal, just issued viii
undoubtedly achieve solid success, for 1t Is
| full of charming papers, and intends to avoid
| the rock on which so many Southern maya
| zines have foundered. The rock was false
reliance on gratuit0uS contrt6utt0ItS.- NoTJotk

| graphy can make reading matter enticing;-
| A feast of fat things is toward. Among the
| contributors to its editorial columns is VIM.
| Gilmore Simms, essayist and novelist
Hayne will help to enliven its columns with
| poetic gems from his prolific pen. Thomp-
| son, of the old Southern Literary Messenger,
will do his best to enliven its columns Or.
| Bagby will see that they do not lack for hui
! NOR. To recite the names ofthose who nave
been retained for the delectation OF the read
ers of Southern Society would take up zoe
much of our space. The first number is ex-
cellent, and promises admirably for the
| future.-NeO Orleans Crescent.
There is great need of an able weekly Jour-
nal edited by Southern men, and to which
| the southern people can, advantageously
and consistently, give their cordial support.
| Such q journal Southern society promises 10
be, and, if a strong corps of writers ana skill
|
new journal will be as fully prosperous as
we desire that it may become. 1t is hand
somely printed, neither expense nor labor
being spared to make it worthy of the pat
ronage it claims at the hands of the SOUTH
The aim of the publishers has been accom-
plshed in the very first number, and haV-
ing deserved to win, they ought not to fail to
reap the harvest.-ChdrLeston Mercury.
This new weekly paper has been launched
| upon its voyage under favorable auspices
and the evidence of ability and taste display
| ed at the outset, give promise OF success ana
usefulness. 1t is an elevated and influential
accession to the press of the country. The
Typography, paper and artistic skill, display
excellent taste.-Bdltinn0re Catholic Mirror.
We earnestly appeal to all who love the
South, and feel an interest in its literature
to aid us now in establishing a worthy re-
dresentatve of its culture and refinement
among us.
