Attest. B. S. ADA.MS, Chairman.
Robert Beatty, Jr., Secretary.
MR. PERILAM’S CARD.
Accompanying, you liaie submitted the official
proceedings of the Share Holders in Mass Meeting,
convened on the evening of 1110 21111 inst., for the
purpose of selecting a Committee, and taking into
consideration other matters affecting the interests of
all ticket holders in my Third Gift Enterprise.
It will be seen that a Committee have been ap
pointed, and instructions given them as to the
course to be pursued up to a certain stage of pro
gression in the enterprise. For the information of
absent share holders, I here beg leave to state, that
the number of tickets sole up to the present time
is about 46,000. From this you will perceive, that
so soon as 34,000 more are sold, they will advise
the whole body of share holders of the fact, and
ask of them, in general meeting assembled for the
purpose, instructions as the final disposition of the
Gill Property, with which they are intrusted.
That these 34,000 tickets may be sold in the
shortest possible time, the undersigned makes the
following propositions, unequalled for liberality:
Each person who gets up a club of ton subscri
bers, and forwards (10) ten dollars to this office, will
receive by return nail err other conveyances, Eleven
tickets.
Each person who sends [at one time] one hun
dred dollars, will have sent in like manner, One Hun
dred and Fifteen tickets.
Each person wlio shall send [at one time] five
hundred dollars, wiU have sent in like manner, Six
Hundred I'ickets.
And for all larger sums in exact proportion.
It is thus, ladies and gentlemen, that I hope to
secure your hearty co-operation in bringing this
enterprise to a speedy, find I hope to all, a satisfac
tory termination.
With great considerations of respect,
1 remain yours, obediently',
July 28th, 1854. J. PERHAM.
100,000 TICKETS ONLY AT SI.OO EACH
WILL BE SOLD.

Influence of Dress!
TyrO ONE can doubt the advantages of de-xAff
1 1 cent apparel. It gives a prepossessing jfa
appearance ; and we take this occasion to ex-Jr#
press our opinion that a man well clad will have
moro attention paid him, und be received more
freely and cordially by all classes, while a sloven
will pass by unnoticed. Being thus satisfied of the
importance ol dress, we uro prepared to furnish
gentlemen With lull suits of clothing, or single gar
ments, at the shortest notice.
Having permanently located in the town of Ea
tonton, for tho pnrooso of carrying on the tailoring
business, wo invito our friends apd tho public gen
erally to give us a cal}, and wo pledge ouraelT to
give Batmfuotion in regard to cut and workmanship.
Wo will keep on hand at all times a frill assortment
ot cloths, cassnners and vestiugs, which will be
mado up to order, and warranted to fit. Our torms
will be reasonable and prices moderate.

QUARTERLY liRVIEW,
rpHIS Periodical is the only one of its class 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 sec
tion of our country. Its purpose is to fairly repres
ent, ourselves, and not to misrepresent others. It
aims to maintain the truth as we understand it, and
to assert the intellectual equality 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 all 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 thus make it eminently
worthy of the world’s admiration and our own
pride.' C. MORTIMER, Publisher,

of the South, is entitled to the patronage of the
Southern people, and this Convention earnestly
recommend it to their favorable consideration, ts

can 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.
