' ITS AIM WILT. BE
'Fisit: In Literature, U leave no province
iinrrpreiriitnl, to that while, each t umber will
contain art ir.lea of au abstract and permanent
value, it will alio be found that the healthy
appetite of the mind fur, entertainment in ill
various forma of Narrative, Wit. and Humor,
will not go uncared for. 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. It will
not rank itself with any sect of anties, but
with that body of men which are in favor of
Freedom, National Progress, and Honor,
whether public or private.
At an earnest of the material at their com
mand, they subjoin the following list of litera
ry persons interested iu 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 bo guided purely by their
sense of intrinsic merit : ,

vided for a ful irecord of Agricultural Details
and a full development of every branch of the
Farmer's Pursuit. He will in future, as he
has always heretofore, aim to be practical,
ana to oe or real ana substantial advantage
to husbandry. His course, also, will continue
to be thoroughly independent, and who v un
biassed by any other motives than those he
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 him from the path of
right and duty.

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.

Under ths "act of twenty-third May, 1844,''
the "Judges of ths County Court" are given

of the County Court," but the Legislature has
recognized the "County Commissioners" as
the proper persons to enter "Town Sites,"
and ws nave, in view of ths spirit of ths law,
permitted such entries, in ths bops that it
will meet the approbation of ths Department.
