Published IN Charleston, S. C..
WNT HiLE numerous literary periodicals
Wv are issued from the American
Press, which are literally patronized, it
has been a subject of general regret, that
since the disconiinuance of that able work,
the Southern Review, there has been no
Magazine established in South Carolina,
affording a suitable medium through which
he opinions Of our best writers might be
brought bear directly and usefully upon
the public mind. Ii is with a view to
meet this demand, that the publication of
this work is proposed-and that the pa
tronaeg of the citizens Of the South is re-
spectfully solicited.


The proposed Magazine viii! consist Of
original communications on Literary and
Scientific subjects, of notices Of recent
publications, particularly in the depart
ment OF light and fugitive Literature, of
popular tales suggested by historical and
local associations, of Poetry and political
Intelligence. Its columns are intended TO
afford q vehicle for the free, but temper
ate discussion ofall questions, which, from
their Importance, interest, or attraction,
are deserving of the attention of IN
educated community. If ii shall become
what IFS name imports, a Journal of strict
Southern Literature-if it shall serve te
place upon record true account Of the
opinions, feelings, habits and general
tone of thinking Of an enthusiastic and
high minded peopIe-if, under the enli
vening inspiration Of the Genius Laci and
with the approving smiles of the generous
and the Fair, and the concurrent and efec-
tive aid of the learned and talented men
among US, if Itshall contribute, in anv
small degree, to secure for the South that
elevated literary position to which tits en-
titled, and which it is capable of main
tanning, its design will then be fully ac-
complished.


The work will be conducted7by the sub
scriber, and assisted by several literary
gentlemen, who have pledged themselves
to contribute constantly and literally TO
our columns, who are interested in its sue
cess, and who think the present favora-
BILE ejuncture for the commencemento of such
an enterprise. twill be printed in an oc-
tavo form, on fine paper, in monthly num-
bers of 56 pages each, and will be put to
press as soon as sufficient number of sub
scriber' can be obtained 10 authorize its
publication. The "Journaln will be fur
