SCIENCE, LITERATURE AND MISCELLANY.


Published Semi-Monthly, by the
Jefferson College and Washington Lyceum.
NHE extensive and growing interest of
- the South West, its moral and social
improvement, and its increasing literary
and scientific demands, have awakened at
teniion to the fact that in this highly impor-
tant portion of our country there is no Jour-
nal or paper so exclusively devoted to liter
ature and science, advocating the doctrines
of no party.


Feeling the necessity Of such paper r,
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly-
ceum have commenced the publication of a
periodical entitled "THE SoUrH-W WESTERN
JOURNAL" to be devoted to literature and
science, and all subjects interesting to the
general reader.


1t is published semi-monthy, in the city
of Natchez, and contains sixteen small quar-
to pages, similar in form to the "Penny
Magazine" and is protected by good en-
velope, so that it may be conveyed to any
distance without injury.


II will be remembered that we have 10
work in the South West similar to this; and
every one who feels pride in any enter
PRISE calculated to enhance the social and
moral character of eur country, should come
forward and assist in this worthy enterprise
fecunlary emolument constitutes no part
OF the object of this publication. It is not
intended to beneitany individual or the Ly-
eeum IN pecuniary point of view. The
sole object is to advance knowledge and diff.
fuse taste for the refined enioymonts of
literature and science.


Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
plshment of the wishes of the Lvceum but
the patronage of the community; and il 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 HoESsEN, the Secretary
of the Lyeeum, Natchez, Mississippi. The
subscription price So 90, IN all cases in Gd
