PROSPECTUS OF THE A WEEKLY PAPER, PUBLISHED AT BRUNSWICK, GLYNN COUNTY, GEORGIA. The causes which render necessary the es tablishment of this Press, ami its claims to the : upj.ort of the public-, can best be presented by the statement of a few facts. Brunswick possesses a harbor, which forac- I ‘ cessibility, spaciousness and security, is vine- ] isiailed on the Southern Coast. This, of itself, j w ould be sufficient to render its growth rapid, j i and its importance permanent; for the best) : port South of the Potomac must become the j site of a great commercial city. But when to ] j this is added the singular, salubrity of the cli-1 ; ante, free from those noxious exhalations gen ie rated by the union of salt and river waters, land which are indeed “charnel airs” to a white < tiopulation, it must be admitted that Brunswick ) contains all the requisites for a healthy and ! populous city. Thus much has been the work of Nature ; but already Art has begun to lend ' her aid to this favored spot, and the industry of man bids fair to increase its capacities, and 'add to its importance a hundred fold. In a few months, a canal will open to the harbor of Brunswick the vast and fertile country through whiihllow the Altumaha, anil its great tribu |tcrics. A Rail Road will shortly be commcnc | ed, terminating at I’tmsacola, thus uniting the ! waters of the Gulf of Mexico with the Atlantic : Ocean. Other Rail Roads intersecting the ] State in various directions, will make Bruns , wick their depot, and a large portion of the ; trade from the Valley of the Mississippi will j j yet find its way to her w harves. Such, in a i few words, arc the principal causes which will } operate in rendering Brunswick the principal | city of the South. But w hile its advantages 1 arc so numerous and obvious, there have been found individuals and presses prompted by sel lish fears and interested motives, to oppose an undertaking which must add so much to the importance and prosperity of the State. Their united jiowers are now applied to thwart in every possible manner, 1 his great public bene fit. Misrepresentation anil ridicule, invective and denunciation leave been heaped on Bruns- j wick and its friends. To counteract these ef forts by the publication and w ide dissemination of the facts—to present the claims of Bruns wick to the confidence and favor of the public, to furnish information relating to all the great works of Internal Improvement now go i ing on through the State, and to aid in devel oping the resources of Georgia, will be the leading objects of this Press. Such being its end and aim, any interfer ence in the party politics of the day would be I improper and impolitic. Brunswick has rc j ceived benefits from—it has friends ill all par ties, ami every consideration is opposed to rendering its Press the organ of a party. To the citizens of Georgia—am! not to the mem bers of a party —to the friends of Brunsw ick— to the advocates ot’ Internal Improvement—to I the considerate and reflecting—do we apply tor aid and support. Terms— Three dollars per annum in ad vance, or four dollars at the cud ot'tlie year. J. \\. FROST, Editor.

TO say that this is a reading age, implies a desire for instruction, and the means to I gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a- I greed ; on the second, there is diversity both of opinion and practice. We have newspa- I pers, magazines, reviews, in line, pamphlets of I all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have j severally their classes of readers and support ; ers. And yet copious as are these means of j intellectual supply, more are still needed. In i addition to the reviews of the day and passing notices of books, the people in large numbers, in all parts of our great republic crave the pos session oi the books themselves, and details, beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress of discovery in art and science. But though it be easy to ascertain and express their wants, it is not so easy to gratify them. Expense, dis tance from the emporium of literature, engross ing occupations which prevent personal appli cation ot even messages to libraries book sellers, are so many causes to keep people a way from the feast of reason and the enjoyment of the covered literary aliment. It is the ob ject of the publishers of the Library to obviate these difficulties, and to enable every individ ual, at a small cost and without any personal effort, to obtain tor his own use and that of his favored friends or family, valuable works, com plete, on all the branches of useful and popular literature, and that in a form adapted to the comfort of the reader. The charm ot variety, as far as it is compati ble with morality and good taste, will be held constantly in view in conducting the Library, tn fill the pages ol which the current literature us Great Britain, in all its various departments of biography, history, travels, novels and poe try, shall be freely put under contribution.— W ith perchance occasional exceptions, it is in tended to give entire the work which shall be selected for publication. When circumstances authorize the measure, recourse will be bad to the literary stores ot Continental Europe, and translations made from French, Italian or Ger man, ns the case may be. Whilst the body of the work will be a reprint, or at times a translation of entire volumes, the cover will exhibit the miscellaneous character °f a magazine, and consist of sketches of men and tilings, and notices of novelties in literature and the arts throughout the civilized world.— A full and regular supply of the literary, month ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain and Ireland, in addition to home periodicals of a similar character, cannot fail to provide am ple materials for this part of our work. 1 he resources and extensive correspondence of the publishers are the best guarantee for the continuance of the enterprize in w hich they are about to embark, us well as for the abun dance id the materials to give it value in the eyes ot the public. As far as judicious selec tion and arrangement are concerned, readers will it is hoped, have reason to lie tally "satisfi ed. as the editor of the Library is not a stran ger to them, but has more than once obtained their lavvrable suffrages for his past literary efforts. TERMS. The work will be published in weekly num bers, in stitched covers, each number contain ing twenty imperial octavo pages, with double columns, making two volumes annually, of more than ;/Jt) octavo pages, each volume ; and at the expiration of every six months, subscri bers will be furnished with a handsome title page and table ot contents. The whole amount ot matter iurnisheil m a single year, will be c qual to more than forty volumes of the com mon sized English duodecimo books. The pa per upon w hich the Library will be printed, will lie of the finest quality used for book work, and of a size admirably adapted for binding.— As the type will be entirely new, and of a neat nppearancu, each volume when bound, will furnish a handsome as well as valuable, and not cumbrous, addition to the libraries of those who patronize the work. Tile price (if the Library will be Five Dollars per annum, payable in advance. A commission ol 20 per cent, will be allowed to agents; and any agent or postmaster, fur nishing live subscribers. anil remitting the a mnunt of subscription, shall be entitled to the commission of till per cent, or a copy of the work for one year. Editors of newspapers, to whom this pros pectus is forwarded, will please insert the a hove as oi tin as convenient, and send a copy ol their paper containing the advertisement marked, and entitle themselves to a free ex change fir mil- year.

Til E LADIES COMPANION, a month ly periodical, commenced on the broad grounds of ditlusing general information, far and wide at a price, which is within the reach of all classes of the community. The plan has succeeded beyond the most sanguine anticipa tions of the proprietor. The first number was issued to the public, with only stcentem names of subscribers, and at this day it boasts of a cir culation nearly’ double that of any* monthly Magazine in America; and is daily increasing, at an average of twenty subscribers. In tin pages of the Ladies Companion, every class of readers will find that which will tend to their enjoyment; tales, of every nature, pathetic and humorous; choice essays and sketches by tin best writers of the day*; literary and scientific intelligence; copious extracts from American and English Annuals; strictures on the drama and fine arts ; notices of all the new publications as they issue from the press; translations from the French, Spanish, Greek, German, Italian and Hebrew languages; original and selectee poetry ; original music and Engravings. wit! fine wood cuts and patterns of embroidery u: every description, independent of an immense variety* of miscellaneous articles on every sub ject of the least interest to the most casual reader, embracing passing events; biographi cal sketches of noted individuals ; discoveries in the arts and sciences, Ac.&c. «Ac.; accounts of colleges and American institutions ; sketches from scenery of our own country*; public as semblies, painting, popular lectures, speakers and authors; view of olden times of the city of g..than); Broadway Analyzed; comments on Good Society, &e. eAc. Embellished monthly with a splendid Steel Engraving; popular mu sic—original and selected ; anil Embroidery fi r the working of lace patterns. In short nothing required to insure interest, amusement, or tin* improvement of the mind in the pages of the Ladies Companion, will be wanting on the part of the proprietor, and it will be— “With sweetest flowers enrich'd, From various gardens cull’d with care.” Articles from the pens of the first authors in either Europe or America have appeared in tin pages of tin* Ladies Companion, during the tw o last volumes, without reference to expense, too numerous to name, which stamps it the cheap est and most diversified periodical issued in A tnerica Negotiations have been commenced with an additional number of popular writers, for origi nal contributions for the ensuing year, amomr them are— E. L. Bulwer Miss Leslie James G. I’ereival R. Shelton Mackenzie Mrs. E. Eliott Miss Louisa 11. Medina Leigh Hunt John Neal Sargent Talfourd Mrs Jamieson G i’. It.

In conjunction w ith those who have, hereto tore* favored the Ladies C empaniuii with origi nal contributions. It has ever been the aim of the proprietor to inculcate and promote the cause of morality.— It cannot lie denied that the periodical press exercise a derided influence upon the moral and intellectual character; anil where that press is untrammelled by mercenary consider ations or vicious principles, its effect must be elevating anil refining to a eoinniunitv. like that ol America. Y\ ith these views.everything operating injuriously to morals or religion have been studiously avoided and not allow ed a place in the Magazine ; for, we hold tlm.se men as traitors to their country, who would seek to do stroy the pure doctrines of virtue and religion, either by open opposition or secret intrbnic. In sustaining the literary* character of the La dies Companion, the proprietor will not confine himself to the mere task of pleasing, without imparting vigor to the mind ; but will endeavor to present both, that w hich w ill be attractive to superficial readers, as well as that which will furnish subjects for reflection to the stu dent. No work in America presents its sub scribers with such a melenge of invaluable reading as the Ladies Companion, for its ex tremcly low price (thn e dollars a year;) and letters are continually being received from Eu rope. inquiring how it is possible for a periodi cal to be issued at such a small rate, which proves its undeniable claims to the support of the American people, particularly those of the state of New York and adjacent ones." It. is n- t generally known to the public that j each number of the Ladies Companion con ; tains more reading than any other Magazine in America; and its subscription price is'tvvo dol | lars less than those issued ill New York. A j single page contains more than two pages of the other Magazines, and some of them three. I lie terms are three dollars a year, payable in advance, and no subscription taken for less than one year, it is published on the loth of each month, stitched in a colored cover and for warded to subscribers out of the city by the j earliest mails, strongly enveloped in double 1 wrappers to prevent friction.
