It lias ever been the aim of the proprietor t<>'
inculcate and promote the cause ol morality.— j
It cannot be denied that the periodical press
exercise a decided influence upon the moral '
and intellectual character; and where tluit 1
press is untrammelled by mercenary consider- j
ations or vicious principles, its effect must be i
elevating and refining to a community, like
that of America. With those views,every thing
operating injuriously to morals or religion have
been studiously avoided and not allowed a place I
in the 'Magazine; for, we hold those men us j
traitors to their country, who would seek to de :
stroy the pure doctrines of virtue and religion,
either by open opposition or secret intrigue j
In sustaining the literary character of the La i
dies Companion, the proprietor will nut confine j
himself to the mere task of pleasing, without i
imparting vigor to the mind ; hut will endeavor
to present both, that which will be attractive
to superficial readers, as well as that which f
will lurnish subjects lor reflection to the stu
dent. No work in America presents its slih
scriber* with such a melenge of invaluable '
reading as the Ladies Companion, lbr its ex
tremely low price (three dollars a year ; i and

We 1 laving witnessed the performance of Mr
T. L. Smith s new Brick Machine, invented by
Calvin Waterman, now in operation in this
place, take pleasure in recommending it to the
public. The fact of its performance is its best
reediiinu’itdatmn. W<- timed it, and find that
with new moulds and inexperienced hands, it
made at the rate of two thousand three hund
red and sixty-eight brick per iiour. By mould
ing ten hours in a day, it would therefore turn
out twenty-three thousand six hundred per day.
It requires six hoys to bear ofl', and four to sand
the moulds, Ac.—together with four grown !
men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
•Unite tlie above named quantity of the most:
beautiful brick per day.

I have witnessed the performance of Mr T.
L. Smith s new Brick-making Machine, just
put into operation in this place: and have no
hesitation in pronouncing it a great and useful
improvement on any other method of brick
making 1 have evej* seen, both as to the quality
of tlie brick and expedition in making. Rv re
quest I timed the machine for half an hour;
tin- result oflhut trial shows that with 14 hands
the machine will turnout of beautiful and well
tempered brick, 2.308 in one hour, or about 40

WALDIE'S LITERARY OMNIBUS
Sortl and Important Literary Enter prize!
Sards, Tales, liiugruphy, Voyages, Travels,
He riews, and the A tics of the Day. It was
one of the great objects of ‘‘Waldie’s Library,”
“to make good reading cheaper, and to bring
Literature to every man's door.” This object
has been accomplished; we have given to
books wings, and they have flown to the up
permost parts of our vast continent, carrying
society to the secluded, occupation to the lite
rary, information to all. We now propose still
further to reduce prices, and render tire access
to a literary banquet, more than tw o fold ac
cessible ; we gave, and shall continue to give,
in tlie quarto library, a volume weekly for two
cents a day ; we now propose to give a volume,
in the same period, ior less than four cents a
week, and to add. as a piquant seasoning to the
dish, a few columns of shorter literary matters,
and a summary of the news and events of the
day. We know, by experience and calcula
tion, that we can go still further in the matter
of reduction, and we feel, that there is still
verge enough for us to aim at ottering to an
increasing literary appetite, that mental food
which it craves.
The Select Circulating Library-, now as ever
i so great a favorite, will continue to make its
j weekly visits, and to lie issued in a form for
| binding and preservation, and its price and
j form will remain the same. But we shall, in
j the first week of January, lt>!S7, issue a huge
sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers oi
America, but on very superior paper, also,_/!//-
ctl icitli boobs, of the newestand most entertain
ing, though, in their several departments oi
Novels, Talcs, Voyages, Travels, &.C., select in
their character, joined with reading, sucli us
should fill a weekly newspaper. By this meth
od, we hope to accomplish a great good; toen
liven and enlighten the family- circle, and to
give to it, at at expense which shall be no con
sideration to any, a mass of reading, that, in
book form, would alarm the pockets of the pru
dent, and to do it in a manner that the most
sceptical shall acknowledge (i the power of
concentration can no farther go.” No book,
which appears in Wuhlie's liuarto Library, will
be published in the Omnibus, which will be an
entirely distinct periodical.
Terms. Waldie's Literary Omnibus, .will
lie issued every Friday morning, printed on pa
per of a quality superior to any other weekly
siieet, and of tiu; largest size. It will contain,
Ist. Books, the newest and the best that can
be procured, equal every week, to a London
duodecimo volume,embracing Novels, Travels,
Memoirs, Ac., and onlij chargeable with Sews- :
paper postage.
yd. Literary reviews, tales, sketches, notices
of books, and information Irom “the world ol
letters," ol'every description.
ffii. The news of the week, concentrated into
a small compass, but in a suilicient amount to
embrace a knowledge of the principal events,
political and miscellaneous, of Europe and A
mcrica.
The price will be TWO DOLLARS to clubs
of five subscribers, where tlie paper is forward
ed to one address. The clubs oi two individ
uals, FIVE DOLLARS; single mail suDsor.b
ers, THREE DOLLARS. The discount on
uncurrent money will be charged to the remit
ter ; the low price and superior paper, absolute
ly prohibit paying a discount.
\iy()o. no condition will n cupij ever be sent,
until the payment is recciced in advance.
As the arrangements for the prosecution of
this great literary undertaking, are all made,
and the proprietor has redeemed all his pledges
to a generous public for many years, no tear ol
non-fulfilment of the contract can be telt. The
Omnibus will be regularly issued, and will
contain, in a year, reading matter equal in a
mount to two volumes ol Rees Cyclopedia, for
the small sum mentioned above. Address (post
paid,) ADAM WALDIE.

PROSPECTUS OF
Tli v xpi* i* i ist cut.
IN issuing it Prospectus for tlie publication ol
a paper, the undersigned will depart from a
usage more honored in the breach, than in the
; observance, and make no promises which it is
| not his design to fulfil. “The Em-f.iiimisi,’
; after a trial of almost 1J months, has not failed in
i recuring lbr the Editor, the attention and pat
j sonage desired ; and it is confidently believed.
in rendering to subscribers, at least an equiva
j lent for the pittance they contributed towards
its support. Gratified lbr the encouragement
S inanilested, desirous of making his little paper
| worthy the patronage of an enlightened and
j generous public, the subscriber has determined
j to enlarge it to nearly quadruple the present
j dimensions, so that it will contain nearly lour
| times as much matter as it now does. Thus
! will be aftbrded greater space lor his own lucu
brations and those of correspondents, together
with Advertisements and judicious selections.
It may not be inappropriate here to remark, that,
ior want of room, some of the best communica
tions have been excluded, and occasionally in
teresting matter, difficult to condense within so
small a compass. With increased labor and
expenditure, he must hope lbr increased re
ward; and consequently, the subscription price
for the second volume will be One Dollar in
advance, or One Dollar and Fitly Cents, at the
! expiration of tin* yea*. This alteration, it will
j be perceived, is not in proportion to the change
ol'stze in the paper; the times being hard, we
are willing to work as low as we can, to save
ourselves from debt, to please our patrons and
ourselves also.
Advertisements, as heretofore at 50 cents per
square for the first insertion, and 25 cents per
square lbr each subsequent insertion.
II r*Those who can conveniently pay in ad
vance, by tiding so, will not only save them
selves a heavy interest, but enable us, with
more alacrity, and advantage, to prosecute the
work. F. J. ROBINSON.

CAREY'S LIIBARY OF CHOICE 1
literature.
TO say that this is a reading age, implies a
desire for instruction, and the means to
gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a
greed ; on the second, there is diversity both
of opinion and practice. We have newspa
pers, magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets of
all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have
severally their classes of readers and support
ers. And yet copious as are these means ol
intellectual supply, more are still needed. In
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 of the books themselves, and details,
beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress
oi 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 Irom the emporium of literature, engross
ing occupations which prevent personal appli
cation ot even messages to libraries and book
sellers, are so many causes to keep people al
way Irom 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, anil to enable every individ
ual, at a small cost and without any personal
effort, to obtain for his own use and tiiat of h.s
lavhred friends or raiiiily, 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.
! 1 lie charm of variety, as far as it is compati
ble with morality and good taste, will be held
j constantly in view in conducting the Library,
to fill the pages of which the current literature
ot Great Britain, in alljts various departments
of biography, history, travels, novels and poe
try, shall he freely put under contribution.—
With perchance occasional exceptions, it is in
i' tended to give entire the work which shall be
| selected for publication. When circumstances
authorize the measure, recourse will be iiad to
the literary stores ot Continental Europe, and
translat.ons made from French, Italian or Ger
man, as the case may be.
Whilst the body ot the work will be a reprint,
or at times a translation of entire volumes, tlie
cover will exhibit the miscellaneous character
of a magazine, and consist of sketches of men
and things, and notices of novelties in literature
i and the arts throughout the civil.zed world.—
: A full and regular supply of the literary, month
ly and hebdomadal journals ol Great Britain
and Ireland, in addition to home periodicals of
a similar character, cannot lad to provide am
ple materials lor this part ol our work.
The resources and extensive correspondence
ofthe publishers are tlie best guarantee lor tlie
continuance of the enterpnze in winch they
are about to embark, as well js for the abun
dance of the materials to give it value in the
eyes of the public. As far as judicious selec
tion and arrangement are concerned, readers
will it is hoped, have reason to be lully sutisli
ed, as tlie editor of the Library is not a stran
ger to them, but has more than once obtained
their favorable suffrages tor his past literary
elfort.i.
TERMS.
The work will be published in weekly nnin
bers, in stitched covers, each number contain
*ng twenty imperial octavo pages, with double
columns, making two volumes annually, ol
more than 52u octavo pages, each volume ; and

bers will he turnished with a handsome title
page and table of contents. The whole amount
ol matter lurnished in a single year, will be e
qual to more than forty volumes of the com
mon sized English duodecimo books. The pa
per upon which tlie Library will be printed,
will be ol the finest quality used for Look work,
and ot a size admirably adapted for binding.—
As the type will be entirely new, and ol a neat
appearance, each volume when bound, will
lurnish a handsome as well as valuable, and
not cumbrous, addition to the libraries ot tiiose
who patronize the work.
The price ofthe Library will be Five Dollars
per annum, payable u. advance.
A commission oi 20 per cent, will be allowed
to agents; and any agent or postmaster, fur
nishing live subscribers, and remitting the a
mouut of subscription, shall be entitled to the
commission of siu per cent, or a copy of the
work for one year.

'1 lie Editors and Proprietors of the Boston
Daily Herald, convinced ol the importance ol
a care tally conducted pre-ss to disseminate in
formation throughout the country, some weens
since issued tile lirst number of the Jsk.v.i
Weekly Hdkalu and Biak, which they have
found to be suitable to the wants of the inland
community, as it lurnislies over one hunured
newspapers in a year, at the very low pr.ee ol
two dollars. This paper is made up iro.n the
Daily Herald with such additional matter, in
the snupe of stories, legends, poetry, statements
of tlie markets, and such imoimutioii respecting
sales as may be deemed advantageous to the
yeomanry of the land.
The peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
be found to be in the fact that while it is no,
engaged in party politics, it reserves to itseli
the liberty ol speaking boldly and openly on
every subject wnich concerns the weal of the
whole country—and summons to aid, Lesides
the constant supervision of the Editors, valua
ble assistants, who are industriously and hour
ly exerting themselves to give strength and a
bility to tneir various departments.
The Herald and Star is published every Tues
day and Friday morning, and mailed on the
night previous in order to ensure its speedy
transmission by the mails.
The price is Two Dollars a year payable in
advance ; $2,25 in three months ; $2,.jU in six
months , $3 at the end of the year. The best
method to ensure the reception of the paper is
to enclose $2 in a letter addressed to the I'ro
i prietors. HARRINGTON A. CO.

TO PHIXTERS.
WHITE A W’M. HAGER, respectfully
A • inform the Printers of the United States,
to whom they have been individually known
as established letter founders, that they have
now formed a co-partnership in said business,
and an extensive experience, they hope to be
able to give satisfaction to all who may favor
them with their orders.
The introduction of machinery in place of
the tedious and unhealthy process of casting
type by hand, a desideratum by the European
founders, was by American ngenuity,a heavy
expenditure of time and money on the part of
our senior partner, first successfully accom
plished. Extensive use of the machine-cast
letter, has fully tested and established its su
periority in every particular, over those cast
by the old process.
The letter foundry business will hereafter
be carried on by the parties before named", un
der the firm of White, Hager & Cos. Their
Specimen exhibits, a complete series, from
Diamond to S.xty-fuur Lines Pica. The Rook
and News type being in tlie most modern style.
WL’te, Huger A Cos. are Agents for the sale
of the Smith and Rust Printing Presses, with
which they can furnish their customers at man
ulacturers’prices ; Chases, Cases, Composing
Sticks, Irik, and every article used in the print
ing business, kept for sale and furnished on
short notice. Old type taken in exchange for

PROSPECTUS
OF TIIE ..
Southern Literary Aspirant.
*/AN the first of September next, will be is
Y J sued tlie first number of the Southern Lit
trary Aspirant, in quarto form, medium—to be
conducted by the present Editor of the “ New’s
Carrier ;” at which time that paper will merge
into the former.
Such a work is offered to the public from a
firm conviction of its necessity and importance;
and the editor has only to regret that abler
hands have not undertaken to accomplish so
desired an object as the advancement ot Litera
ture in the South, before him. To effect which
will be his constant and unerring aim. The
Editor has received the assurance of assistance
from many, upon whom he relies, with a pleas
ing confidence, himself nor the public,
through him, will be disappointed in their ex
spectat.ons of An character and success.
We intend that our paper shall he a faithful
vehicle of general News. The cause of the
South, will be its cause, and the advancement
of her interest its chief aim and desire. Asa
paper, it will espouse no party; the important
afiuirs of Government, however, will not be
suffered to pass unnoticed—and all sensible,
judicious communications on this subject, pro
vided they are free from party spirit, will re
ce.ve particular attention.
Persons obtaining ten responsible subscribers
to the Aspirant, will be entitled to one copy
gratis.
1 cims. The Aspirant will be published ev
( cry Saturday, m tlie city of Macon, at Two
Dollars per annum—sl 25 for six months—
payanlc in advance. No subscription received
itir a less period.
Advertisements will be inserted at the usual
rates.
Letters on business must be post paid to in
sure attention.
