The puldishers wish to lay, also, that while native writer will re ceive the most solid encouragement, and will be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the Atlantic, they will not hesitate to draw from the foreign scotirccs at their command, as occasion may require, relying rather on the competency of an author to treat a particular aubjuct, than on any other claim whatever. Iu this way they hope to make their Periodi cal welcome wherever the English tongue is spoken or read. Sixond j In the term Art they Intend to In clude the whole domain of aetlietiis, and hope gradually to make this critical dedart mene a true and fearless representative of Art in all its various branches, without any regard to prejudice, whether personal or national, or t ) private considerations of what kind soever. Third: Iu Politics, the Atlantic will be the organ of no party clique, but will honestly endeavor to be the exponunt of what its con ductors believe to b? the American idea Jt will deal frankly with persons and with part ies, endnavorsngto keep in view that moral el ement which transcends all persons and par ties and which alone makes the basis of a true and lasting national prosperity.

Entering Town Sites. The following correspondence will show that the act of the last Legislature of ths 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 ths Judges of Probate, or the United States Judges, can be regarded as "Judges of ths County Court." As soon as that doubt is removed, notice wl.l be given. In the mean Urns no entering of towns not incorporated can bs made. A copy of the act of the last Legislatuie will be placed in ths hands of the Commis sioner, and. under tha circumstances, ths Bu tties already made may be confirmed. JOHN A. PARKER, Register.
