My ali. is at stake, iu this cntci!’i.<e -ft is a
venture, stimulated indeed by some Lore of e
molument; but founded largely, also upon the
well warranted expectation of rallying southern
talents and Southern public spirit, around tbo
drooping and well nigh prostrate banner of Souffi
ern Literature. Since it has now acquired claims
upon Southern justice-—can it tc, that thts art
urged in vain ?
Subscribers then, who are in arrears and bsi
them remember, that payment is due in advaitse,
will, I trust, without delay, transmit tbe mounts
they owe to me, at Richmond, bv mail, at my
risk and cost; taking proper evidence pf the sac
jipd date of mailing; nnd rt-tai«sng a mciiioran
