pay their proportion of the interest on from 100 to
$500,000 capital stock of the company. A full ex

PROSPECTUS
OF
The Southern Literary Gazette
A WEEKLY JOURNAL, COMMENCED IN ATHENS, GEO
ON SATURDAY TIIE 13TH OF MAY.
EDITED BY WM. C. RICHARDS.
THERE is not, south ol the Potomac, a single
Journal whose sole object is to develope and
foster literary taste and talent in the South ; and this
fact is certainly a sufficient reason for an earnest at
tempt to establish such a journal. The failure of
previous eff’or s cannot be regarded by the intelligent
mind as an argument against such an attempt. Those
failures may have been, and probably were, the re
sult of circumstances no longer existing The need
of such an organ in our midst, is so universally ac
knowledged, that not to attempt to supply the defi
i c . ienc y> would indicate a disregard of the signs of the
times scarcely more surprising than inexcusable.
The piogiess of the age, and the rapid advance of
the South in Commerce, Manufactures, and Internal
Improvements, imperatively demand a correspond
ing advance in literature. To aid in this great ob
ject. he nas established a Weekly Journal at the seat
of the University of Georgia and rallied around it
the best writers of the South.
The Editor is assured of the support of liis able
coadjutors in the Orion Magazine, and also of much
other assistance from the most prominent writers ol
the South. Ihe Gazett kis made up of matter both
l original and selected ; and comprises Tales, Essays,
1 i ?. ‘ es ,?i ravel, Poetry, Criticisms, and a Gener
i al Miscellany of information in all departments of
| Literature, Art and Science. Particular attention is
j S lven to Scientific and Practical Mechanics.
In Mechanical execution it is surpassed by no con
temporary, and the aid of the fine arts will not be
wanting to enhance its attractions. Portraits efSoutk
ern writers, and pictures of Southern Life and Scene
ry will be presented.
The Editor confidently appeals to the friends of
Literature m the South; and lie is happy to announce
that Ins enterprise is of uo doubtful issue. By pri
vate effort a large and generous list has been obtain
ed, and upwards of Onk Thousand Subscriber*
have pledged their support to the paper. Until this
was accomplished, the editor was unwilling to pub
lish Ins Journal, but it is now given to the public with
the unequivocal assurance turn it shall be permanent.
TERMS.—I. The Southern Literary Ga
zette is published weekly, on a handsome imperial
quarto of 8 pajes—printed from new type, on fie
white paper.
2. It is lurnished to single subscribers at Two
Dollars per annum, in advance; and to clubs of’
six for Ten Dollars.
[O All communications, not containing remittances
or solicited articles, must be post-paid to ensure al*
tention.
