WHAT THE SOUTHERN PRESS SAY OF
SOUTHERN SOCIETY.
We commend Souther Society to our peo-
pie. There are hundreds of persons in this
city who are constant patrons of the sensa-
tional and foolish pictorials published at the
North. We are, by purchasing TINS literary
trash fostering those who care nothing for
us, and whose delight IL is to insult US. IL is
time we should support our own institutions
and people. Southern Society is emphatl-
cally q Southern journal. Southern men
and women write for 10, Southern men pub
fish it, and it is conducted in southern Ell
Y. Every one who loves the South and de-
sires TO see its institutions prosper, should
subscribe at once TO this journal, and extend
all the aid in his power towards establish
ing, on a firm basis, a journal which is des-
tined to reflect honor and credit upon this
cOuntry-tbe South.-MobHe Tribune. .ssf
The intellect of the South newer was more
active than il is to-day The establishment
of new literary paper-southern society
to which we have already alluded, is an G.
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 grdttttt0tts OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Vir0inida.
1t is attractive as possible as far as typo
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 have
been retained for the dedication of the read
ers of Southern Society, would take up too
much of our space. The first number is ex-
cellent, and promises admirably for the
future.-Nei0 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 n journal southern Society promises TO
be, and, if strong corps of writers and skill
IuI management can SUCCESS, lilt
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 1t claims at the hands of the SOUTH
The aim of the publishers has been accom-
plished in the very first number, and haV-
ing deserved to win, they ought not TO fail to
reap the harvest.-C Charleston 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 and
usefulness. 1t is an elevated and influential
accession to the press of the country. The
Typography, paper and artistic skill, display
excellent taste.-Battinl0re CdtItohc Mirror.
We earnestly appeal to all who love the
South and feel an interest in its literature,
to aid us now in establishing q worthy re-
dresentative of its culture and refinement
among us.
