QUARTERLY REVIEW.
rpIIIS Periodical is the only otic of its cluss in the
1. entire region of the South: and its pages are
referred to as the best evidence of the ability of the
South, and its capacity to give expression to the
feelings, the interests and intelligence of this see
tion of our country. Its purpose is to fairly repros
ent ourselves, and not to misrepresent others. It
aims to maintain the truth us we understand it, and
to assert the intellectual euua.ity of our section,
while, at the same time, it will free the mind of the
mind of our people from that state of literary thral
dom and dependency under which they have too
long labored. We claim, then, from ail lovers of
the South and friends of a truly home literature
that support for our work which will enable, us to
give it a free course, and tints make it, eminentlv
worthy of the world’s admiration and our own
pride. C. MORTIMER, Publisher,

This Journal, now entering on its Fourth volume,
is two well known to need any panegyric from the
publishers. This much we will say—we intend
to enlarge, and beautify it. Each number will
have a handsome cover, upon which advertisements
eun be inserted, without taking up the reading
matter of the paper.
The editors will each, in his department, give a
re-cord of the progress and advancement of agri
culture and horticulture, especially, as adapted to
the soil and climate of the South. Each number
will contain plans for the month, for the farm,
orchard and garden ; new plants and seeds adapted
to Southern culture will receive the careful atten
tion of the editors, and a faithful report made
thus saving thereon, thepublic from much imposi
tion.
To our patrons, we appeal ; bow large an edi

there are more than 10,000 reading farmers, gard

ed exclusively to this class. Every man that plants
cotton or corn, a cabbage, or a turnip, keeps a horse
or a cow, raises an apple, pear, plum, peach, grape,
fig or strawberry; every lady that cultivates a rose,
geranium or pink : every house-keeper that makes
a loaf of bread, or a pot of soap, will find in the
Soil of the South , for 1854, something worth ten

the ponderous Tome of the future historian, writ
ten after the living interest and excitement of the
great political events of the time shal’ have passed

their well-established literary, scientific, and theolo
