MR. PERHAM’S CARD.
Accompanying, you have submitted the official
pjoc’eedings.of the Share Holders in Mass Meeting,
convened on the evening of the 27tii 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 instruction's given them as (o the
course to ho pursued up to a certain stage of pro
gression in the enterprise. F'or tho information of
absent-share holders, There beg leave to sf ite, that
the number of tickets sold 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
Gift 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 ten subscri
bers, and forwards (10) ten dollars to this office, will
receive by return mail or other conveyances, Eleven
tickets.
Each person who Sends [at one time] one hun
dred dollars, will have sad in likeinanner, One Hu,.-
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,
1 remain yours, obediently,
July 28th, 1854. ’ J. PERHAM.

QUARTERLY REVIEW.
riMIJS Periodical is the only one of its class in the
I entire region of the South : and its pages are
referred to ns 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 otir country. Its purpose is to fairly repres
ent ourselves, an;l not to misrepresent others. It
aims to maintain the truth us we understand it, and
to assert the intellectual equality of our section,
while}at the sme time, it will free the luind of t.iC
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, »ml thus make it eminently
worthy of the world's admiration and our owii
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—wo 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, 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; how large an edi
tion shall we start with, sor 10,000 ? YVe know
there are more than 10,000 reading farmers, gard
ners, and florsts 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 the
Soil of the South, for 1854, something worth ten
times the subscription price.
