iUUI
, ITS AIM WILL BE
First: In Literature, to leave no province
unrepresented, so that while each I umber will
contain articles of an abstract and permanent
value, It will also be foimil that the healthy
appetite of the mind for entertainment In its
various form of Narrative, Wit, ami Humor,
will not go ntirared for. The publishers wish
t lay, hlao, that while native writers will re
ceive tne most sonn encniirneeiiirni, im nm
be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the
Atlantic, they will not hesitate to draw
from the foreign scourers at their command,
t occasion may require, relying rather on tho
competency of nn nulhor totrmta particular
uhiect, than on any other claim whatever.
In this way they hope to make their Periodi
cal welcome wherever the English tongue la
rmken or read.
Second j In the term Art they Intend to In
clude the whole domain of aesthetics, and
liope gradually to make this critical dedart
ment a true and fearless representative of Art
in ill ita various branches, without any retard
to prelndice, whether personal or national, or
tjjrivafe considerations of what kind soever.
Third: In Politics, the Atlantic will he
the organ of no party clique, hut will honestly
endeavor to lie the exponent of what its con
ductors believe to he the American idea It
will deal franklv with persons and with part
ies, endeavorsngtokeep in view that moral el
ement which transcends all persons an par
ties and which alone makes the basis of a
true and lasting national prosperity. It will
not rank Itself with any sect of antif., but
with that body of men which are in favor of
Freedom, National Progress, and Honor,
whether public or private.
As an earnest of the material at their com
mand, they subjoin the following list of litera
cy persons Interested In their enterprise (wish
ing It however to be distinctly understood,
that they shall hope for support from every
kind of abillity which desires the avenue of
their columns, and In the remuneration of
which they shall be guided purely by their
sense of Intrinsic merit:

of Agriculture in its broadest meaning. Neither
individuals, cliques, societies, or any other in
fluence shall swerve him from the path of

Entering Town Sites.
The following correspondence will show
that the act of the last Legislature of the
Territory, designating the County Commis
sioners as the proper persons to enter Town
Sites, Is not recognized by the Commissioner
of the Land Office.
It is 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 ot
towns not Incorporated can be made.
A copy of the act of the last Legislating
will be placed in the hands of the Commis
sioner, and, under the circumstances, the eu
tries already made may be confirmed.

and we have, in view of the spirit of the law,
permitted suh entries, In the hope that it
will meet the approbation of the Department.
