Both the Editors of this Journal are engaged in the
cultivation of the soil of the South.
In the Agricultural Department, our list ol contribu
tors embraces many of the most successful agricultu
rists of the South ; and each number, for 1853, will
contain a contribution from one of the most distinguish
ed scientific agriculturists in the United States.
In the Horticultural Department, Mr. Charles A.
Peabody, who has attained unrivailed excellence, ha?
secured the co-operation of Iverson L. Harris, J. Van
Buren, and Dr. Camak, distinguished horticulturist's of
Georgia, who have pledged themselves to contribute
regularly to our columns.
With a rapidly increasing subscription list, the Pub
lishers hope to be able to have the next volume beauti
fully illustrated.
Every Southern man who cultivates a plantation,
works a farm or garden, or grows a tree or flower, will
find the Soil of the South an invaluable companion.
N. B.—The cash system will be rigidly adheied to,
and in no case will the paper be sent unless the money

subscribers for 1852, and hope each one of them will
send us his dollar before the close of this year. The
first number for the new volume will be published by
the ist of January.

i A- superior to that of any other Sewing Machine ever inveni
j ed, for its simplicity, compactness, the beauty and strength of it-
I £ Idea and its cheapness. It weighs about 25 lbs., and costs only
j from . ( ;ho to r-JO. It will work, neatly with the smallest thread,
the• finest muslin, cambric or silk, as well as linen, woolen ami
cotton goods, aiul all kinds of leather. It is so simple, that
cnild ot 10 years ot age can understand and work it rapidly, with
out any danger of its getting out of order, and can do the work
of more than 20 se unstresses much better m every respect than
t. can be done by hand. The stitches are independent of each
outer so much so, that if every other stitch is cut, the seam still
holds good, and strong. It is unlike ard much better than any
other sewing machine ever invented. This machine is peculiar
ly adapted to family and plantation use, as it does all kinds o;
sewing, and when known will be generally introduced info fami
lies and plantations.
