MR. PERIIAM’S CARD*
Accompanying, you have submitted the offieia
proceedings of the Share Holders in Mass Meeting
convened on the evening of the 27 tli inst., for the
purpose of selecting a Committee, and taking intc
consideration other matters affecting the interests o
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 tho information o:
absent share holders, I here beg leave to state, that
the number of tickets sold up to the present time
is about 46,000. Front this you will perceive, tlial
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
Gift Property, with which they are intrusted.
That these 34,000 tickets may he sold in the
shortest possible time, the undersigned makes the
following propositions, unequalled for liberality:
Eacli person who gets up a club of ten subscri
bers, and forwards (10) ten dollars to this ojjice, will
receive by return mail or 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 who shall send [at one time] five
hundred dollars, will have sent in like manner, Six
Hundred Tickets.
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, and I hope to all, a satisfac
tory termination.
With great considerations of respect,
I remain yours, obedient!^

Influence of Dress !
NO ONE can doubt tho advantages of do-sAfl
cent apparel. It gives a prepossessing
appearance ; and wo take this occasion to ev- T . if!T
pross our opinion that u man well clad will liuvo
more attention paid him, and bo received more
freely and cordially by all classes, while a slovon
will pass by unnoticed. Being thus satisfied of tho
importance of dress, wo aro prepnrod to furnish
gentlemen with lull suits of clothing, or single gar
ments, at tho shortest notice.
Having permanently located in the town of Ea
tonton, for the purooso of carrying on tho tailoring
business, we invito our friends and the public gen
erally to give us a call, and wo pledge ourself to
give satisfaction in regard to cut ancl workmanship.
Wo will keep on hand at all times a full assortment
of cloths, eassimers and vestings, which will bo
made up to’ordor, and warranted to fit. Our terms
will bo reasonable and prices moderate.

QUARTERLY REVIEW.
rUVIiiS Periodical is the only one ot its class m the
I entire region of the South: and its. pages arc
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,

tinguished literary gentlemen of the South, be

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

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
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, ns 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, wo appeal; how large an edi
tion shall we start with, sor ID,OOO ? We know
there are more than 10,000 reading farmers, gard
ners, and fiorsts around us, who would save money
by taking the Soil of the South. But it is not confin
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 tlie
Soil of the South, for 1854, something worth ten
times" the subscription price.
