ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Proprietors of THE CONTINENTAL MONTHLY, warranted by its
great success, have resolved to increase its influence and usefulness by
the following changes:

The Magazine has become the property of an association of men of
character and large means. Devoted to the NATIONAL CAUSE, it
will ardently and unconditionally support the UNION. Its scope
will be enlarged by articles relating to our public defenses, Army and
Navy, gunboats, railroads, canals, finance, and currency. The cause of
gradual emancipation and colonization will be cordially sustained. The
literary character of the Magazine will be improved, and nothing which
talent, money, and industry combined can achieve, will be omitted.

The political department will be controlled by Hon. ROBERT J.
WALKER and Hon. FREDERIC P. STANTON, of Washington, D.C.
Mr. WALKER, after serving nine years as Senator, and four years
as Secretary of the Treasury, was succeeded in the Senate by
JEFFERSON DAVIS. Mr. STANTON served ten years in
Congress, acting as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee and of Naval
Affairs. Mr. WALKER was succeeded as Governor of Kansas by Mr.
STANTON, and both were displaced by Mr. BUCHANAN, for
refusing to force slavery upon that people by fraud and forgery.
