U ROSE LOTUS. OF THE Southern Literary Messenger* f I HIES is a monthly Magazine, devoted chki A to Literature, but occasionally findi room also for articles that fall within the" scope ,• Science ; and not professing an entire disdain of tasteftil selections, though its matter has beei/ ' it will continue to be, iu the main, original. '** Party Politics, aud controversial fh c010r,,, far as possible, are jealously excluded. They V*! sometimes so blended with discussions in liter 1 ture or in moral science, otherwise unobjectij * able, as to gain admittance for the sake of thi more valuable matter to which they adhere • bn* whenever that happens they are incidental onlv not primary. They are dross, tolerated only be cause it canuot well be severed from the ore wherewith it is incorporated. Reviews and Critical Notices, occupy their due space iu the work: and it is the Editor’s aim that thgy should have a threefold tendency . convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truth or interesting incidents as arc embodied i Q t v, works reviewed,—to direct the readers attention to books that deserve to be read— and to warn him against wasting time and money upon tie! large number, which merit only to be burned \ this age of publications that by their variety an!i multitude, distract and ovenvhelmu every uadis criminating student, impartial criticism ir OV ! emedbythe views just mentioned, is one of the most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliarit • to him who dors wish to discriminate. Essays and Tales, having in view utility or musement, or both—Historical sketches , t .,i Reminisences of events too ininute for History yet elucidating it, and lieightning its interest maybe regarded as forming tlm staple of t G work. A&d ot 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 inand such a work—and not one alone, but many The public mind is feverish and irritated still from recent political strifes: The soft, assuagin' influence of Literature is needed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irritation. Vice and follv are rioting abroad :—They should be driven bv indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, into their fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an im mense proportion of our people :—Every spin,?, should be set in motion, to arouse the enlighten ed. ami to increase their number; so that the great enemy of popular government may no lon ger brood, like a portentous cloud, over the des tinies of our country. \ml to accomplish all these ends, what more powerful agent can be em ployed, than a periodical on the plan of the M es ! senger, it that plan be but carried out in prac tice ? r 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-five nr thirty ! Is this contrast justified by the wealth the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary taste ol the Southern people, compared with those of the Northern? .No: for in wealth, tal ents and taste, we may justly claim, at least an equality with our brethren md a domestic insti tution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, af fords us, if w e choose, tw ice tlie leisure for read ing and writing which they enjoy. It was from a deep sense of this local want, that the woru Southern was engrafted on this peri cdical: 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 trie North and South bound endearingly together, forever, in the silken bands ol mutual kindness and aficction. Far from meditating hostility to the north, he has al lcady drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest matter thence; and happy indeed will he deem himself, should his pages, bv making each region know the other better contri bute iu any essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace of both, anil to brighten and strengthen the sacred tics of fra ternal love. CONDITIONS 1- The Southern Literary Messenger is pub lished in monthly numbers, of 64 large super ioy.il octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and neatly covered, at 85 a year—payable in advance - * Ol fiv e new subscribers, by sending theii names and 820 at one time to the editor, will re ceive their copies for one year, for that sum, or at 84 for each. 5. I lie risk of loss of payments for subscrip tions, which have been properly committed to the mail, or to the hands ol a post master, is assum ed by the editor. 4. It a subscription is not directed to be dis continued before the first number of the next vol tune has been published, it will be taken 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 obligations of the 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 tor any earlier notice, while any thing thereon remains due, unles t the option of the Editor. card. To the patrons of the Southern Literary Messenpt, I he startling cost at which this work has been established, and is sustained, and the backwa d ness of many subscribers in fulfilling their pan of our mutual compact, call indispensably for an ap peal, not to their liberality—but to their justice. If punctual payments are ever necessary, they 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 3 venture, stimulated indeed by some hope of e ntolument; 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 thes are urged in vain ? Subscribers then, who are in arrears—and l ? < them remember, that pnymenf is due in advona< will, I trust, without delay, transmit the mouo 1 * they owe to me, at Richmond, by mail, at m? risk and cost; taking proper evidence of the ta c and date of mailing; and retaining a mcnioraa dum of each note sent.
