ON AN IMPROVED PLAN.
MR. HAYDEN respectfully announces to the
citizens of Athens, that he will give a thor
ough course of lessons in Penmanship, on the Semi-
Angular System, during which the principles of
writing on this plan will be taught. This system is
more easily acquired and more rapidly written than
any other. The object, in learning to write, is per
manent impression, and with proper attention on the
part of the pupil, such impression will be warrented
or no recompense required.
Persons desirous of improving their writing, will
please call at the Newton House this week, where a
great variety of specimens will be exhibited.

The Proprietor begs leave to announce that, on
Saturday, the sth of May, ho will issue the first num
ber, for the second year, of this popular and well es
tablished paper—the name and form of which he
lias changed, to enlarge the scope of its observation,
and to otherwise increase its attractions.

LITERATURE, THE ARTS, ANT) THE SCIENCES,
it will be the aim of its Proprietor to make it, in
every respect,
A CHOICE FAMILY NEWSPAPER ;
“ as cheap as the cheapest, and asgood as the best.”
Utterly discarding the notion that a Southern Jour
nal cannot compete with the Northern Weeklies, in
cheapness and interest,

them, and, in the variety, freshness and value of its
contents, second to none. Its field will be the
world, and it will contain, in its ample folds,
EVERY SPECIES OF POPULAR INFORMATION.

SCHOLASTIC AND DOMESTIC EDUCATION.
Numerous articles, original and selected, from the
best sources, will be published weekly, on
AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE,
, and these departments, as, indeed, all others, will be
’ frequently
ILLUSTRATED BY FINE WOOD-CUTS.
‘ Every number will contain careful and copious sum
j maries of the latest
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC NEWS,
in Commercial, Civil, Political, and Ecclesiastical
| Affairs. At the same time, there shall be nothing
( in its columns that can be considered either Partizan
> or Sectarian.
A CORPS OF CORRESPONDENTS
i will contribute —some regular, and others occasion
al —Letters from the Northern Cities, and from va
: rious parts of Europe.
In the first number will be commenced the publi
cation of
MRS. CAROLINE LEE HENTz’s PRIZE TALE,
entitled “Percy, or the Banished Son:” and, at
the same time, will appear, entire,
A BEAUTIFUL SOUTHERN POEM,
entitled “ Wachullah,” for which the Prize oi
Twenty Dollars was awarded to Mrs. C. W. Du-
Bose, of Sparta —the Leila Cameron of the Gazette.
Subsequently, the second Prize Tale and Poem will
appear, with many choice articles offered in compe
tition for the prizes, and commended by the Com
mittee of Award.
The following distinguished writers will contrib
ute to the Journal:
Wm. Gilmore Simms, LL. D.,
