OF THE
Southern Literary Ilexsenser.
rrUHS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly
-1- to Literature, but occasionally finding
room also for articles that fall within the scope of
Science ; and not professing an entire disdain of
tasteful elections, though its matter has been, as
it will continue to be, in the main, original.
Party Politics, and controversial Theology, as
far as possible, are jealously excluded. They are
sometimes so blended with discussions in litera
ture or in moral science, otherwise unobjection
able, as to gain admittance for the sake of the
more valuable matter to which they adhere: but
whenever that happens they are incidental, only;
not primary. They are dross, tolerated only be
cause it cannot well be severed from the sterling
ore wherewith it is incorporated.
Reviews and Critical Notices, occupy their
due space in the work: and it is the Editor’s aim
that they should have a threefold tendency to
convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths
or interesting incidents as are embodied in the
works reviewed,—to direct the readers attention
to books that deserve to be read—and to warn
him against wasting time and money upon that
large number, which merit only to be burned. In
this age of publications that by their variety and
multitude, distract and overwhelmn every undis
criminating student, impartial criticism, gov
erned hy the views just mentioned, is one of the
most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries
to him who does wish to discriminate.
Essays and Tales, having in view utility or a
musement, or both—Historical sketches and
Reminisencf.s of events too minute for History,
yet elucidating it, and heightning its interest
may be regarded as forming tlx* staple of the
work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is
published—sometimes of no mean strain—to man
ifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste
and talents of our country.
The times appear, for several reasons, to de
mand such a work—-and not one alone, but many.
The public mind is feverish and irritated still,
from recent political strifes : The soft, assuasive
influence of Literature is needed, to allay that
fever, and soothe that irritation. Vice and folly
are rioting abroad:—They should be driven by
indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, into their
fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an im
mense proportion of our people:—Every spring
should be set in motion, to arouse the enlighten
ed, and to increase tlmir number; so that the
great Cnemy of popular government may no lon
ger brood, like a portenrious cloud, over the des
tinies of our country. \nd to accomplish all
these ends, what more powerful agent can be em
ployed, than a periodical ou the plan of the Mes
senger; if that plan be but carried out in prac
tice ? ‘
The South peculiarly requires such an agent.
In all the Union, south of Washington, there are
but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that
city, there are probably at least twenty-live or
thirty! Is this contrast justified by the wealth,
the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary
taste of the Southern people, compared with
those of the Northern? No: for in wealth, tal
ents and taste, we may justly claim, at least, au
equality with our brethren «nd a domestic insti
tution exclusively our ow n, beyond all doubt, af
fords us, il we choose, twice the leisure for read
ing and writing which they enjoy.
it was from a deep sense of this local want, that
the word Southern was engrafted on this peri
odical: and not with any design to nourish local
prejudices, or to advocate supposed local inter
ests. Far from any such thought, it is the Edi
tor s fervent wish, to see tue North and South
bound endearingly together, forever, in the silken
bands of mutual kindness and affection. Far
from meditating hostility to the north, he lias al
ready drawn, and he * hopes hereafter to draw,
much of liis choicest matter thence; and happy
indeed will he deem himself, should his pages, by
making each region know the other better contri
bute in any essential degree to dispel the lowering
clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and
to brighten and strengthen the sacred tics of fra
tcrnal love.
The Southern Literary Messenger lias
now reached the 11th No. of its third volume.—
How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered,
is not for the Editor to say. lie believes, how
ever that it falls not further short of them, than
human weakness usually makes Practice fall short
of Theory.
CONDITIONS
1. The Southern Literary Messenger is pub
lished in monthly numbers* of 64 large super
royal octavo pages each, ou the best of paper, and
neatly covered, at $5 a year—payable in advance
2. Or five new subscribers, by sending then
names and S2O at one time to the editor, w ill re
ceive their copies for one year, for that sum, or
at $4 for each.
3. The risk of loss of payments for subscrip
tions, which have been properly committed to the
mail, or to the hands of a post master, is assum
ed by the editor.
4. If a subscription is not directed to be dis
continued before the first number of the next vol
umc lias been published, it will betaken as a con
tinuance for another year. Subscriptions must
commence with the beginning of the volume,
and will not be taken for less than a year’s pub
lication.
5. The mutual r bligations of tlm publisher and
subscriber, for the year, are fully incurred as soon
as the first number of the volume is issued : and
after that time, no discontinuance of a subscrip
tion will be permitted. Nor will a subscription
be discontinued for ai’y earlier notice, while arv
thing thereon remains due, uules t the untiun
ol the Editor.
, CARD.
7h the patrons of the South, rn Literary Messenger.
The startling cost at which this work has been
established, and is sustained, and the backwa «J
--ness of many subscribers in fulfilling their fun of
our mutual compact, call indispensably for an <«r
|>t al, not to their liberality—but to their justice.
If punctual payments are ever necessary, thev are
pre-eminently so in the case of such a publica
tion, —purely literary—almost wholly original
and destitute of the vital aid which newspapers
derive from advertisements.
My all is at stake, in this enterprise.—lt is a
venture, stimulated indeed by some hope of o
molument; but founded largely, also upon the
well warranted expectation of rallying Southern
talents and Southern public spirit, around the
drooping and well nigh prostrate banner of South
ern Literature. Since it has now acquired claims
upon Southern justice— can it be, that this are
urged in vain ?
Subscribers then, who are in arrears and le
them remember, that payment is due in advance,
will, I trust, without delay, transmit the mounts
they owe to me, at Richmond, by mail, at my
risk and cost; taking proper evidence of the fact
and .late of mailing; and retaining a memoran
dum of each note sent.

EDITORS.
MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS <S C WILLIAM W. SNOWDEN,
Assisted by many of the most popular Writers.
SINCE the publication of the May number, the
demand for the Ladies’ Companion has
been unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine
anticipations. At the commencement of the vol*
uine an additional number of copies were printed,
which was considered at the time adequate io sat*
isly all the orders which might be received, and
leave a considerable number on hand for subse
quent calls. The publisher is more than gratified
in stating that the whole edition was nearly ex*
hausied before the issuing of the seventh number
of the volume; aud at tins time but very few com
plete sets remain on hand, to supply the nun er
ous orders w hich are tiaily received from every
section of the United States.
Inconsequence of this great unforeseen increase
of new subscribers, he lias determined to double
the number of impressions for the subsequent
year; while b<‘ most gratefully appreciates the un
precedented encouragement extended to the La.
dies’Companion, and at the same time he begs to
assure the readers of the Magazine and the pub
lic in general, that it is his ardent resolution to
meet it w ith a corresponding liberality on his part
to merit it* continuance.
Splendid .Steel Engravings by our best ar
tists, accompany each number—illustrated by
Pales at cl spirited Sketc hes—w hich w ill, as here
tofore, continue magnificent and far superior to
those published in any other Magazine iu Ameri
ca.
The Ladies’ Companion contains a larger quvi
tity of reading than any other magazine "issued iu
this country, and its subscription price is only
three dollars a year, while the great combination
of talent secured for the coming year wifi render
it unequalled by any other periodical.
Its Literary Character ! will undergo con
siderable change, as the publisher of the Ladies’
( umpanion, in order to show his appreciation of
the public favor already extended to him so liber
ally, has sec ured the aid of Mrs. ANN S. STE
PHENS, late Editor of the ‘Portland Magazine,’
and author of a series of the most beautiful and
popular tales ever presented to an American
public. No lady possessing greater variety of tal
ent, or better calculated to aid in conducting a
Ladies’ Magazine, could have been selected from
the galaxy of female genius which is the glory of
our country. la addition to the powerful talents
ol Mrs. Stephens, the proprietor has secured a
list of contributors, which combined will render
(he Ladies’ Companion one of the most interestin''
and talented Magazines of tliedav.

bute to the pages of the w ork, and every exertion
w ill be made to render the Ladies’ Companion,
uliat a work devoted Va the female portion of the
community should be, interesting, useful and in
structive.
lue Musical Department is under the su
pervision of .dr. J. V ntsim, whose qualifications
for the task are too w ell known to require wr tes
timony.
J his department of the Ladies’ Companion has
ever commanded a large share of attention, and
been looked upon w ith no little interest by its rea
ders, and more especially the Ladies, whom the
publisher is in the highest degree anxious to
please. It will continue to be a subject of more
than usual care to him, aud to the Professor,
under whose supervision it is placed, to make that
portion ol the magazine allotted to Music, more
than ever deserving of the countenance of every
lover ol music. It has ever been and wiff contin
ue to be the desire to have all pieces of Music
printed con fitly and free from errors.
Jhe V ork in General. Over eveiy depart
ment an equally careful supervision will be strict
ly by the Editors, and all appropriate
expenditures w ill be liberally bestow ed, as it is the
design of the publisher, w ith the aid of his con
tributors and the advieeof Ids friends to make the
Ladies Companion distinguished for the bewul)
and accuracy es its typography; the variety ana
Irgh tone oj its literary articles; the quality and
value of its music ; and the unequalled splendor
ol its Pictoral Embellishments.
It is the determination .of the publisher to use
every means to maintain the superiority which
the Ladies Companion has obtained. For four
years he lias steadily pursued a Course of improve
ment, and he flatters himself that his present fa
cilities are such as to give the Ladies’ Companies
eminent advantages over all other publications of
its character.
h rom the foregoing it will be perceived that the’
Ladies Companion embraces every department
within the range of Belles-Lettres and the Fine
Arts; and no exertions or expense will be deenn
ed too gieat to render the work equal to any other
extant. J lie flattering and general testimonials
of nearly every cotemporary journal in the United
States, and in fact, many on the other side of the
Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undeniable
claims of the Ladies' Companion to the support
of the public generally. There is no work that
gives its readers such great return for their subscrip’
don.
The Prize Articles will all be published du
ring the year. These articles will comprise the
successful candidates for the premiums of one
thousand dollars awarded by a committee of liter
ary gentlemen in August last.
