Devoted to Agriculture, Literature, and Art. It is in quarto form of eight pages—each issue containing forty columns of matter. In mechanical execution, it is in the best style of the typographic art. In utility, it is all that the best agricultural science and practical knowledge of the South can furnish. A weekly visitor to the homes of Southern Planters and Farmers, it will be more useful and acceptable to them than any monthly journal of equal merit.

In mental attractions, it will be all that a spirit of enterprise on my part, and a laudable emulation on the part of others, can evoke from Southern intellect and cultivation.

The Agricultural Editor is Dr. Daniel Lee, the distinguished Professor of Agriculture in the University of Georgia—editor for many years past of the Southern Cultivator, and a leading contributor to many Northern agricultural journals of the highest reputation.

The Literary editor is Mr. W. W. Mann, of this city, an accomplished writer, of fine taste, and scholarly attainments, who, having retired from the active duties of the legal profession, spent many years in Europe, and was for several years the Paris Correspondent of the National Intelligencer and Southern Literary Messenger.

Will combine the useful and the agreeable. It will furnish the Southern Farmer information useful in every field he cultivates, and the Southern family choice literature, the offspring of Southern intellect, worthy of welcome at every fireside. It will be, in all respects, a first class paper—on a scale of expenditure more liberal than has yet been attempted in the South, and designed to rival, in its merits, the most distinguished of the North.

Terms.—Two dollars per annum, in advance.

A special appeal is made to the ladies of the South for their patronage and good wishes.

This paper will be entirely silent on politics.

On matters pertaining to their respective departments, address the Editors. On matters of business generally,

Augusta Georgia, 1860.
