ITS AIM WILL BE
T"i't: Tn Literature, in leave re province
unrepresented, io tli.it while each t umber will
contain articles of an abstract and prrmanent
value. It w ill also he found that the healthy
appr'ite of the mind fur entertainment in It
virion form of Narrative, Wit. ami Humor,
will not go uncarcd for. The publishers wisn
to say, alio, that while native writeri wiil re.
reive the nioiit solid encouragement, ar"l wi"
lie mainly relied on to fill the pace of the
Atlantic, they will not hesitate ti draw
from the foreign scources nt their command
at occasion nny reipirc, reiving ralher on the
competency of an author to treat a particular
subject, 'han on any ot!ier claim whatever.
In )ils way they hope to ninke their Periodi
cal welcome wherever the English tongue it
polton or re id.
Srrovn I In the term AnT they Intend to in
clude tin whole domain of o hct i t and
hope gradually to mle this critir.il depart
ment a true and fe.irliMs representative or Art
in all lie various br jm lies, without anv regard
to prejudice, whether personal or national, or
t pri ale conMcicr.it ions orwii.it kinci soever.
Third: In PolrMcs, the Atlantic will he
the organ of no party clique, hut will honestly
endeavor to he the exponent of what Its con
ductors heMcve to he the American idea It
will deal frankly w ith persons and with parl
ies, enrleavorsTi'itokeep in view that moral el
ement which transcends all persons ni par
ties and which alone makes the basis of a
true and lasting national prosperity. It will
not rank Itself wllh any sect of antifs, but
with that bodv 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 b 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 :

The Sioux City, as her name Implies, was

the especial supervision of Captain Baker
who. in her construction, has spared neither
trouble nor expense to make her a No. 1 Mis

most admiraby adapted to the wants of the

for business as well as the superiority of ber
passenger accommodations, inferior to no

takes much pleasure in preset ting her to the
favorable consideration of his frietds and
acquaintances, and the public generally, hop

that generous patronage for which he is in
