such allowance, however, will be made to clubs, un
less THE MONEY IS PAID IN FULL TO THE PUBLISH
ERS, as in such- cases no discount will be given to

EARLY COPIES!
By a late arrangement with the British Publishers
of Blackwood’s Magazine, early sheets of that work
will be forwarded to this country, so as to insure the
receipt by American subscribers of the entire number
of the Re-print, before any portion of it can be made
use of by other American publishers. This will make
the work far more desirable than heretofore, and it is
hoped will lead to an increase of the sales sufficient to
justify the cost of the arrangement.

A Journal whose sole object is to develope and
foster literary taste and talent in the South ; and thi.
fact is certainly a sufficient reason for an earnest at
tempt to establish such a journal. The failure of
previous efforts cannot be regarded by the intelligent
mind as an argument against such an attempt. The*
failures may have been, and probably were, the re
suit of circumstances no longer existing The need

j knowledged, that not to attempt to supply the defi
