ITS AIM WILL BR
.FmT! In Literature, to leave no proline
hurrpiescnled, so that while rach I umber w ill
contain articles of an abstract and p.-rm;i nnl
value, it will also be found that the healthy
Appetite tli o mind for entertainment in its
t liio is forms of Narrative, Wit, nnd Humor,
will not co uncared for. Tin puldisbcrs wish
today, nlso, that while native writers will re
ceive the most solid encourage it, ami will
bo mainly relied on to fill the pages of the
Atlantic, they will not hesitate to draw
from the foreign scources at their command,
a occasion may require, relying, rather on the
competency of an author to treat a particular
subject, Ilia rt on any other rlaim whatever.
In thle way they hope to mak their Periodi
cal welcome wherever the English tongue is
spoken or rend.
Skconp ( In the term Art they Intend to in
clude the whole domain of acsthctks, and
hope gradually to make this critical dedart
menr a true and feailess representative of Art
io all Its various I. ranches, without any regard
to prejudice, whether personal or national, or
t private considerations of what kind soever,
Tinsns In Politics, the Atlantic will be
the organ of no party clique, but will honestly
endeavor to ho tho exponent of what its con
ductors believe to be the American Idea It
will deal frankly with persons nnd with part
ies, endeavorsngtokeep in view that moral el
ement which transcend nil persons an par
ties and which alone makes the baits of a
true and lasting national prosperity. It will
not rank Itself 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.
As an earnest of the material at their com
mand, they subjoin the following list of litera
ry persons interested in their enterprise ; wish
ing it however to be distinctly understood,
that they shall hope for support from every
kind of ahillity which desires the avenue of
their columns, and in the remuneration of
which they shall be guided purely by their
tense of intrinsic merit :

Send in your orders soon, as we expect our

best plan of subscribing is to send your money
direct to the publisher. Those who send
large amounts had better send drafts, but
notes will answer if drafts cannot be pro
cured. We think we can show how much cheaper
it is to take tlie 1-ady's Book at Three Dol
lars than any other magazine at Two Dollars.
We will take a late number of both. The
Two Dollar Magazine contained 30 articles,
the Lady's Book 02.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained 32 en
gravings, the Lady's Book 50.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained G4 pa
ges, the Lady's Book 100.
Twenty-four more engravings, twenty six
more "article, and thirty-six more pages,
nearly double the nuantitv. Hie lowest rluh
price of the Two Dollar Magazine is $1,25;
lowest club price or iauys isook i,'W,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), yon receive
twenty-six more articles, tweuty-fotir more
engravings, and thirty-six more pages month
ly certainly a very cheap three and a half
cents' worth. Tin's view of the case has
probably never before been presented, but it is
a true statement, which any lady can con
vince herself of by comparing the two maga

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 of
towns not incorporated can be made.
A copy of the act of the last Legislatuie
will be placed in the hands of the Commis
sioner, and, under the circumstances, th en
