RICHARDS. THERE is not, south of 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. 4he failure of previous efloris cannot be regarded by die intelligent mind as an argument against such an attempt. Those failures may have been, and probably were, the re sult ol circumstances no longer existing The need ot such an organ in our midst, is so universally ac knowledged, that r.ot to attempt to supply the defi ciency, would indicate a disregard of the signs of the times scarcely more surprising than inexcusable. Hie progress ol the age, and the rapid advance es the South in Commerce, Manufactures, and Internal Improvements, imperatively demand a correspond ing advance in literature. To aid in this great ob jec.t, lie lias established a Weekly Journal at the seat ol the University of Georgia and rallied around it the best writers of die South. Hie Editor is assured of the support of his able coadjutors in the Orion Magazine, and also of much other assistance irom the most prominent writers ot the South. Hie Gazette is made up of matter both original and selected ; and comprises Tales, Essays, >ielcu e ß°l Travel, Poetry, Criticisms, and a Gener al Miscellany of information in all departments of Literature, Art and Science. Particular attention is given to Scientific and Practical Mechanics. In Mechanical execution it is surpassed by no con temporary, and the aid of the line arts will not be wanting to enhance its attractions. Port’ dts of South ern writers, and pictures of Southern Life and Scene ry will be presented. Hie Editor confidently appeals to the friends of Literature in the South; and be is happy to announce di.it Ins enterprise is of 110 doubtful issue. By pri late effort a large and generous list has been obtain ed, and upwards ol One Thousand Subscribers have pledged tneir support to the paper. Until this was accomplished, the editor was unwilliug to pub lish ins Journal, but it is now given to the public with the unequivocal assurance that it shall be permanent. TERMS.— -1 . The Southern Literary Ga 7.ki 1 E is published weekly, on a handsome imperial quarto of 8 pa^es —printed from new type, on fine white paper. J.
