ITS AIM WILL BE
Finn : In Literature, to leave no pmiinre
unrepresented, so that while each i umber will
raiitaln urt lrs of mi abstract and pr rmanent
value, It will also he found tli.it the lira It h t
appetite of the ml ml lor entertainment in lis
various forms of Narrative, Wit, and Humor,
will not go unrared for. The piiblisheis wish
to liny. also, thnt while native wrt'ers will re
reive the most solid encouragement, and will
le ln,i i tilv relied- on to fill the pages of the
ATtATrir, they will not hesitate to draw
from the foreign scourers at their command
ia occasion hm v require, rol v inn: rather on the
competency of an author to treat a particular
subject, than on any other claim whatever,
n thle way they hope to make the lr Periodi
cal welcome wherever tlie English tongue ia
epoken or read.
Sr.roND In the term Art they intend to in
clude Ilia whole domain of aeathetiia, and
hope gradually to make thia critical dedart
menc a true and fearless representative of Art
in all Its varlom branches, without any regard
to prejudice, whether personal or national, or
1 1 jrtvate considerations of what kind soever.
Third t In Politics, the Atlantic will be
the organ of no party clique, but will honestly
endeavor to be the exponent of what Its con
ductors believe to be the American idea It
will deal frankly with persons and with part
ies, sndeavorsngtokeep in view that moral el
ement which tranacends all persons and par
ties and which alone makes the basil of a
trite and lasting national prosperity. It will
not rank itHelf with any sect of antics, but
with that body of men which are in favor of
Freedom, National Progress, and Honor,
whether public or private.
A en earnest of the material nt their com
mand, they subjoin the following list of litera
ry persona interested lu their enterprise wish
ing It however to be distinctly understood,
hat they shall hope for support from every
kind of ahillity which desires the avenue of
their column", and in the remuneration of
which they shall be guided purely by their
sense of intrinsic merit :

large amounts had better aend drafts, but
notes will answer if drafts cannot be pro
cured. Wa think we can show how much cheaper
It ia to take the Lady's Book at Three Dol

Wa will take a late number of both. The
Two Dollar Magazine contained 3d articles,
the Lady's Book 62.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained 32 en
gravings, the Lady's Book ffi.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained 64 pa
ges, the Lady's Book 100.
Twenty-four more engravings, twenty six
more articles, and thirty-six more pages,
nearly double the quantity. The lowest club
price of the Two Dollar 'Magazine is f 1,25;
lowest club price of Lady's Book $1,67, only
42 cents difference in the price, which is three
and a half cents on each number, and for that
sum (three and a half cents), you receive
twenty-sit more articles, twenty-four more
engravings, and thirty-six more pages month
lycertainly a very cheap three and a half
cents' wor'h. This view of the case has
probably never before been presented, but it ia
a true statement, which any lady can con

and a full development of every branch of the
Farmer's Pursuit. He will in future, as lie
baa always heretofore, aim to be practical,
and to be of real and substantial advantage
to husbandry. His course, also, will continue
to be thoroughly independent, and wholly un
biassed by any other motives than those be
conceives to be promotive of the true interest
of Agriculture in its broadest meaning. Neither
individuals, cliques, societies, or any other in
fluence shall swerve hi in from the rath of

The following correspondence will shosr
that ths act of the last Legislature of tha
Territory, designating ths County Commis.
sioners as the proper persons to enter Town
Sites, is not recognized by ths Commissioner
of the Land Office.
It ia a question of doubt whether the Judges
of Probate, or the United States Judges, can
be regarded as "Judges of the County Court."
As soon as that doubt is removed, notice wi.l
be given. In the mean time no entering of
towns not incorporated ran bt made.
A copy of the act of ths last Legislating
will be placed in tbs hands of ths Commis
sioner, and. under ths circumstances, tbs
tries already mads atar be confirmed.
