' SOUTHERN MAGAZINE. j A 3aurnal of Literature, Artsand Scicncos. WJTfI much diffidence, the subscriber yields to the urgent recommendations of ' a number of bis friends, in offering to the cn \ tirely vnocupicd- community of the South, the [ publication of a monthly periodical under the I above title. He is too well acquainted with the ill-success hitherto closing all similar under ' takings, not to anticipate considerable difficulty and opposition. The truth -is not to be dis guised, however inexpedient its expression by i an applicant for public favor, that there pre | vail? amongst us a censurable, and as many I are disposed to think, an almost insuperable in | difference towards- the cultivation of a purely democratic literature. The bold and haughty indeptndence we assume and maintain on all other points, if in this respect it does not shrink from si competition with, is at least satisfied under an indolent reliance upon the taste and talent <?f others. Circumstances, moreover, have contributed to excuse, if not to favor this 1 supineness. We shall not, wetrust, be accused | of presumption on our own part, or of disre i pect to our predecessors, in saying, that where ; in some cases, the latter have too largely drawn I upon the intelligence and leisure of their read i ers, and thus contracted the circl'd of their pat i ronage, they hare in others, with an over-san j guine anticipation, omitted the necessary pre j paraticns to ensure a vigorous and durable | prosecution of their undertaking. We have a | painful and mortifiying illustration of the I’ornr ! er error .in the late premature discontinuance I of one of the ablest periodicals of the country — ; and ths inadequacy of unassisted individual e.n --; terprize to supply even the limited demand it met with, not merely in the quantity, but par- ticularly in the quality and the variety required, has been too well tested by every successive and irretrievable failure heretofore. The wink now,proposed, is happily free from either of the dangers referred to. Entirely of a miscellaneous character, it will be addressed to every variety of taste, without exacting from its readers any farther attention than what their ordinary leisure hours may afford. At the same time, it will seduously endeavor to com mingle in an agreeable and compendious form the higher branches of the Arts and Sciences, with the lighter but not less valued effusions of the Taste and the Fancy. And in all this, it may well hope for success, from the talent and learning enlisted in its behalf. Delicacy, how ever, forbids a direct personal reference to the many distinguished individuals who have taken an interest in and are pledged towards its sup port It is now almost needless to sav, that the SOUTHERN MAGAZINE will consist en tirely of original matter in prose and verse, (to which contributions are respectfully invited,) embracing all subjects of general interest and exclusive of controversial divinity and party politics, accompanied with criticisms upon the productions of the day. and notices of the most important passing events. JAMES HAIG. At a special meeting of the Literary and Philosophical Society convened on the Bth inst. a Committee consisting of Thomas S. Grimke, James H. Smith and William Peronneau Fin ley, Esqrs. appointed to consider the contem plated periodical to be edited by James Haig, Esq. a member, presented the following, which was unanimously adopted: “The Literary and Philosophical Society of South Carolina., having been informed that a monthly periodical embracing general litera ture and micellaneous information, is contem plated to be published by JitT James S.

FSIHE Subscriber, hi Assuming the Editorial _k. duties of the Mountaineer, deems it due to its present Subscribers, as well as those who may m future beeoine such, to issue a Prospec tus,expressive ofthe principles which he designs to advocate,. The Mountaineer has been Vong and favorably known throughout the State, as the firm and undeviating advocate of Republi can principles—now professed and acted upon by the Union Party- its present Editor will advocate and maintain, to ihe best of his abili ties, those principles—firmly believing them »<> be absolutely necessary to our “preservation as a Nation, and to the perpetuation of our happi ness as a people.” It is nst necessary t 6 define what those principles are—lt is believed that they are generally known and understood. The maintenance of a weekly paper in the country, is a difficult and a laborious task. It will not be deemed exaggeration by those who are initiated, to say, that not more than two thirds of the money due to such a paper canbs collected—and it takes time to collect even that; The proprietor—Mr. Well's —is thankful for the patronage already extended to him. He feels gratified that the names of the most tal ented and influential mdh of our Party can be seen on his subscription list; But, as it is the only Union press in this large and populous section of country, it is desirable tbdt it should have an increased circulation. Wherever the Mountaineer has beer, it has invariably had in fluence.—And it is earnestly requested of the friends ofthe Union, in Spartangurgh, Pickensj Laurens, and particularly in Abbeville, toexert themselves in aiding the circulation of the Truth. Th* Proprietor, if assisted in Ins generous design, will obtain a. new press, an entirely new fount of type, and issue the Mountaineer on art enlarged slice: ofthe finest paper: This canhot be done, however, without the renewed exer tions ofthe friends of our cause, in the different sections of the State, in his behalf. * * The Mountaineer will be devoted to Political and Miscellaneous matters, embracing the use’ ful, entertaining and instr uctive. The proceed ings of Congress will be published invariably— And the Editor will use every exertion in his power to render the paper worthy of the patron* age of the Union Public; W. L. YANCEY. TERMS.—The Mountaineer will be publish* cd once a week, on a super-royal sheet and handsome type, aUArce dollars per annum in ad vance, or three dollars and fifty cents at the ex piration of six months —though payment in ad vance would be greatly preferred.
