LAND FOR SALJfcL
THE subscriber has in view removing west
wardly, offers for the following tracts of
Land, viz: that valuable tract on which he resides,
containing 1350 acres, lying on the Savannah River
and Soap creek, of which a part is first rate river
an 1 creek low grounds. There are three hundred
and fifty ac;csol it cleared, the balance in woods,
consisting of oak, hickory, poplar and warl.oo
The cleared land is under a good fence. Its pro
duction cannot be surpassed by any lands in the
up country. The improvements consist of a con
venient and comfortable Dwelling, besides Gin
House, Screw, all new, and all other houses neces
sary for aconnUy residence and farm. The dwell
ing is located on an elevated situation, and re
markably healthy, with springs of the purest water
scattered throughout the premises. There is also
on the premises, one of the best sites for a mill or
mills ol factory there is in the up country, and its
contiguity to the river will make it more valuable.
As the purchaser would wish to examine the pre
mises previous to making the purchase, it would
be needless for me to give any farther description
of the premises.
I also offer a tract of land containing 5 or 600
acres, in South Carolina, in Edgefield district, im
mediately on the Cambridge road, (one of the most
public roads in the State.) The place is known as
a part of the Martintown tract, and would make a
valuable stand for a store or public house.
Also, 250 acres of land in Decatur county in
this Stale.
Also, 250 acres of land in Baker county in this
State. WM. B. CANTELOW.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
PLANTERS’ GAZETTE.
Edited by D„ G. Cotting, Washington, Georgia.
IN offering a new Journal to the public for pa
tronage, it is customary and proper to set forth
in a prospectus, the principles which its conduc
tors intend to support, and to give such pledges as
to its management that its patrons may not at any
future time find themselves deceived or disappoint
ed in its course.
And first, as to our political creed. Believing
that there is at present a crisis in our national aU
fairs ,which requires the hearty and unremitting
exertions of every true lover of his country’ to
preserve it from the destruction that menaces it
that a powerful and fatal influence is now exerted
upon our institutions by ambitious and unprinci
pled politicians; that the Constitution, that safe
guard of our liberties, is in danger from their ma
chinations, and that the Stale Rights doctrines and
the principles of the revolutionary patriots only,
can preserve it inviolate, we shall give our unde
viating support to these doctrines. Our motto
shall be “Principles and Men;” therefore, of the
prominent candidates for the Presidency’, now’ be
fore the people, we choose those for our support
who we believe will carry: out Stale Right* mea
sures, viz: General WILLIAM HENRY HAR
RISON and JOHN TYLER, gentlemen whom even
their enemies allow to-be true patriots and honest
men.
As the title of our journal indicates, we shall
devote much of its columns to the interests of
Agriculture. We shall endeavor to give to the
Planter the latest and best information of the im
provements, now a'most daily taking place in his
business. We are aware that in the strife of party,
agriculture, the foundation on which society rests,
has been too much neglected by the press, and that
some “Reform” is needed In this respect.
All the aid in our power shall be given to the
cause of literature, and we shall endeavor lo ren
der the Gazette as interesting as possible to every
class of readers.
Terms.—Three Dollars per annum, payable in
advance, or Three Dollars and Fifty Cents, if not
paid within the first six months. Advertisements
