| The extensive and growing interest Of
the Southwest, its moral and social i'm.
provement, and its increasing literary and
scientific demands, have awakened atten.
tlon to the fact that in this highly impor.
tant portion ofour country there is no Jour.
nal or paper so exclusively devoted to lit.
erature and science, advocating the doc.
trine of no party.


Feeling the necessity of such paper
the Jefferson College and Washing ION Ly.
ceum have commenced the publication oi
periodical entitled 'THE SOUTH-WES
TERN JOURNAL to be devoted to lit
erature and science, and all subjects inter
esting to the general reader.


1t is published semi-monthly, in the CITY
of Natchcz, and contains sixteen small
quarto pages, similar in form to the "Pea-
ny Magazine y and is protected by good
envelope, SO that it may be conveyed 10
any distance without injury.


1t will be remembered that we have no
work in the Southwest similar to this
and every one who feels pride in any en-.
terprise calculated to enhance the social
and moral character ofour country, should
come forward and assist in this worthy
enterprise.


Pecuniary emoluments constitutes no
part of the object of this publication, II
is not intended to benefit any individual
or the Lyceum in a pecuniary point Of
view. The sole object is to advance
knowledge and diffuse a taste for the
refined enjoyments of Literature and
Science.


Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
plishment of the wishes of the Lyceum but
the patronage of the community; and 1t is
expected that this patronage will be prompt
ly and cheerfully extended.
All communications in reference to the
periodical should be addressed, post paid,
to Professor J. A. VAN HoEsEN, the Sec. OF
the Lyceum, Natchez, Mi. The subscrp'
tion price $5, in all cases in advance.
