GEORGIA FEMALE COLLEGE.
TH E exercises of this Institution will be re
sumed on the first Monday in October. It is
very desirable that all who propose to become pu
pils, should attend at the beginning of the session.
An early regular organization of the Classes is im
portant to the carrying on of our plans, and to fair
and equal competition among the members of each
class. To relieve the Faculty of embarrassment
in the distribution of circulars, and to facilitate the
progress of the scholar, we earnestly recommend
parents and guardians to bring their children and
wards at the opening of the term.
To relieve our patrons, who live distant from us,
of all unnecessary anxiety, we assure them that in
case of sickness, attention kind and constant shall
be rendered ; and that prompt information shall be
given to relatives, when any reasonable ground of
apprehension exists. Having full confidence our
selves in the healthiness of the location —a confi
dence founded upon the experience of the last
term, and the fact that the steward’s family, with
two young ladies, members of the Institution, have
remained during the whole summer, without inter
ruption of health, webeg our friends to discredit the
exaggerated rumors of sickness and fatality that
Mtometimes get currency in the country. If at any
facts warrant alarm, w* pledge ourselves to
give notice.
The Primary Department will go into opera
tion simultaneously with the College. The very
general satisfaction which we understand was giv
en during the session under many disadvantages,
cncouiages us to hope that our future efforts will
be crowned with enlarged success.

M CENTRAL IIOTEIT -
This splendid and spacious new Brick
Hotel, situated on Front Street, imme
diately over the Kail Road Bank, in Athens, will
be opened in a few weeks for the reception of
Boarders and Visitors. To those who have hereto
fore favored the proprietor with tlieir patronage, he
deems it only necessary to announce his return to
Athens, and his intention to keep the Central Hotel
in connexion with that pleasant and fashionable
watering place the Helicon Springs, which has un
dergone considerable improvement since the last
season; by this arrangement visitors can spend
their time either in Town, or at the quiet retreat
which the Springs always affords to the invalid or
visitor of pleasure. To this important advantage
which his establishment presents over any other
either in Town or country,he will add his personal
exertions to render his Hotel and Watering place
ail that his friends can desire. The Hotel is new,

OF THE
SOUTHERN BABIES’ BOOK.
EDITED BY
TUI LIP C. PKRDLKTUN AND SKOIIGI P. PIERCE.
To the Ladies of Georgia, and of the South gene
rally, the following plan is most respectfully
submitted It is hoped that it will receive their
serious attention, and meet their approbation,
since it is for their especial benefit that the work
is projected;
IN submitting the following plan, we would first
call the attention of the i adics, and all those
who feel interested (and who are those that do
not?) in the welfare and improvement of the female
sex, to the present condition of the southern press.
Nearly all the publications which issue from it are
engaged ii political discussions, and their columns
teem with accusations, denials, abuse, and every
other form of wordy warfare —carried on in lan
guage frequently unlit for “cars polite,” and sel
dom suited to the delicacy an I gentleness which
belong so peculiarly te the female character,
()f the lew literary papers published south of the
Potomac, there is not one exclusively dedicated
to the LADIES! We have felt this as a want
1 which ought to be supplied-, and we propose to
make an effort to do so, confiding that our eudea
i vors will be crowned with success, we we can only
i secure the hearty co-operation of those for whose
i welfare we are about to labor —the ladies of the
south. And we expect, further, that every intelli
gent mind among the other sox, will view with ap
; probation, and aid in sustaining, an enterprise de
signed to improve the minds of those, without
whose cheering smiles and soothing companionship,
life would hr dreary and this fair world a desert.
Wc wish also to afford to the ladies a held for
the exercise of their own talents, and for the de
velopment of the resources of their minds. The
lists of authors, for some few years past, have fre
quently enrolled the names of females whose glo
rious success has shed an additional radiance on the
name of ‘Woman.” The “lords of creation” have
been forced to acknowledge that the female mind
is by no mean i deficient in capacity and intellec
tual endowments—whilst, at the same time, it is
possessed of superior delicacy and tact. Long was
woman’s mind held in thraldom, long were her
powers unde .rated, and forced to remain inactive
or unexercised by the force of conventional a.-
rangements; hut her chains are broken, and her li
berty has been proclaimed. The article if Mos
lem faith, that “women have no souls,” no longei
cbtains among us. Let the ladies now assert their
own privileges, and wc olli-r them, in our proposed
work, a medium for the expression of .heir own
views and sentiments, ou all that appertains, in anv
degree, to the welfare and improvement of their
sex.
in offering the plan of a Southern Ladies’
Book, we do not intend that it shall be precisely
similar to a work of like name at the north. Wc
leave to our northern colemporary pictoral repre
sentations oi fashion and dress, for the embellish
ment of the person: be it ours to provide a garb of
1 purity, elegance, refinement and grace, for the a
dormnent of the mind. All that may contribute to
- form the heart, invigorate the mind, purify the af
i fections,and relinc the manners, shall be our special
I care, that our work may be a useful aid to the
young, and fair, and beautiful, in preparing them
selves for the discharge of the noble and arduous
duties which devolve on woman,in her varied capa
city of daughter, wife and mother. And we re
peat that in the accomplishment of this high en
terprise, we confidently expect the aid and support
of the enlightened and judicious of both sexes.—
Arrangements for regular aid will be made with
several ladies whose productions have already
» gained the high fame in the literary world —and
several gentlemen of distinguished attainments
have already been secured as contributors, from
. whom scientific tracts, with notes, and observa
tions on the Arts, may he expected. This depart
ment of the work will receive marked attention.
In short, nothing will be omitted which may tend
> to give to the publication such character as will
render it worthy the attention of the learned, and
of those to whom it is especially dedicated— the
Ladies of the South and tVest. It only remains to
< btain the requisite number of subscribers—say
two thousand —and if the ladies will smile upon
and aid our efforts, that number will not long be
wanting. Let them urge their fathers, husbands,
brothers and friends, and it is soon done.
dj* The work will contain sixty four royal oc
tavo pages, stitched in a neat colored rover, and
will ap. ear monthly. Terms— Five Dollars per
annum, payable on the delivery of the first number.
