PROSPECTUS
A WEEKLY PAPER,
PUBLISHED AT BRUNSWICK, GLYNN
COUNTY, GEORGIA.
The causes which render necessary the es
tablishment of this Press, and its claims to the
support of the public, can best be presented by
the statement, of a few facts.
Brunswick possesses a harbor, which for ac
cessibility, spaciousness and security, is une
qualled on the Southern Coast This, of itself
would be sufficient to render its growth rapid,
and its importance permanent; for the best
port South of the Potomac must become the
site of a great commercial city. But when to
this is added the singular salubrity of the cli
mate, free from those noxious exhalations gen
erated by the union of salt and river waters,
and which are indeed “charnel airs” to a white
population, 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 Alt 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
which flow the Altainaln, and its great tnbu
nries. A Rail Road will shortly be commenc
ed, terminating at Pensacola, thus uniting the
waters of the Gulf of Mexico w ith 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 oi' the Mississippi will
yet find its way to her wharves. Such, in a
tew words, are the principal causes which will
operate in rrtu.ehng Brunswick the principal
city oi the South. But while its advantages j
are so numerous and obvious, there have been j
found individuals and presses prompted by sel
fish fears and interested motives, to oppose an
undertaking which must add so much to the
importance and prosperily of the State. Their
united powers are npw applied to thwart in
every possible manner, this great public bene
fit. Misrepresentation and ridicule, invective
and denunciation have been heaped on Bruns
wick and its friends. ToiCOUnteract these ef
forts by the publication «ld wide 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 w orks of Internal Improvement now go
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
improper and impolitic. Brunswick has re
ceived benefits from—it has friends in all par
ties, and every consideration is opposed to
rendering its Press the organ of a party. To
the citizens of Georgia—and not to the mem
bers of a party—to the friends of Brunswick—
to the advocates of Internal Improvement— to
the considerate and reflecting—do we apply
lor aid and support
Terms—Three dollars per annum in ad

THE HARP.
translated krom the german kierner.
It was the first week of the honey-moon.
Neither sordid calculation, nor yet a mere
passing fancy, had led to the marriage of
Edward Sellner and his young bride. No,
—their bond of union was a pure and
glowing affection, proved by time and
consecrated by many trials. Thev had
early known and appreciated each oilier,
but the long delay of an expected official
appointment hid compelled Sellner to
postpone tiie realization of Ins wishes.
At length the much desired commission
came, and on the following Sibbath he
md Ins beloved maiden to her new home,
a bride.—The tedious days of ceremonv
and festivity over, the happy pair were
left to pass tile pleasant summer evenings
in the sweet coiniminings of their, pure
and confiding hearts.—Little plans for
their future life, Edward’s flute and Jo
sepha’s harp, served to fill up hours which
flew but too rapidly away, and the deep
harmony of their instruments seemed to j
them a friendly passage of that deeper j
accord which was to bless their wedded !
years.—One evening, after 'having enjoy
ed their music until a later hour than u
sual, Josephu complained of a pain in her
head. She had, indeed, had an attack
of it in the morning, but refrained from
mentioning it to her husband lest it should
cause him needless anxiety. The excite
ment of the music, however, acting upon
a constitutionally weak nervous system,
so considerably increased a previously
slight fever, that she now no longer con
cealed her indisposition, but' anxiously
requested that medical aid might be cal
led The physician, deeuring her ill- (
ness slight, promised an entire recovery
by the next morning. Poor Josepha,
however, passed an extremely restless
night, throughout the whole of which she
raved incessantly, and on repeating his
visit the next morning he found Tier with
all the symptoms of a serious nervous fe
ver. Notwithstanding the application of
every remedy which affectionate zeal and
professional intelligence could suggest,
her illness increased daily. Sellner was
almost distracted. The physician finally
felt it his duty to inform him that his'
wife could not survive the attack ; and ■
oa the ninth day Josephs herself became
aware that there was no longer any ground
for hope. She felt that last hour was ap-
proaching, and with cal in resignation a
waited her fate. “Dear Edward,” said
she to her husband, folding linn in a last
embrace, “with deep regret do 1 leave
this fair earth where 1 have enjoyed so
I much happiness with you ; but ditnough
i may no longer behappy in your arms,
yet shall Josepha’s faithful spirit hover ü
bout the object of its earthly ailiections,
until we meet again above.” Then, sulk
ing bask on her pillow, she fell asleep in
death. It was the ninth hour of the e
vennig. YV lat Sellner suffered is beyond
the power of words to express. The
blow prostrated his health, and long he
wre. tied with the destroying angel. Yv lieu
at length he arose from ins sick be , ail
the strength and elasticity of youth was
gone, he was continually lost in sad rever
ies, and was evidently fast fading away.
A profound melancholy had succeded tiie
violence of despair and a silent sorrow
consecrated the memory of the loved and
lost. He had left Josepha’s apartment
just as it was before her death. Her
work still lay upon the table, and her harp
remained untouched in its accustomed
place. Taking his flute, Sellner every
evening made a pilgrimage to tins sanc
tuary of iris love, and leaning against tiie
window as in happier times, breathed in
plaintive tones his aspirations for the spir
it of the departed. On one occasion he
was standing thus in Josepha’s cham
ber, —a clear moon shone through the
window, and a watchman upou tiie tower
of a neighboring castle was proclaiming
the ninth hour, —when suddenly the harp,
as if touched by some invisible spirit,
poured forth the most thrilling tones, in
harmony with those of Iris flute. In the
confusion nf his surprise he ceased to
play, and 10, the harp also became silent.
Recovering his self-possession, he trem
blingly commenced Jo-epha’s favorite air,
and again tiie. melodious tones of tiie harp
blended in sweet response. Sinking to
the earth in a paroxism of jov, and spread
ing out his arms to encircle the belov
ed shade, lie felt a breath as of warm
vernal air upon Iris lips, while a pale and
glimmering light seemed to flit bcldre him.
Glowing with ecstacy lie cried : “1 recog
nise thee, blesssed shade of my Joseplia !
Thou didst promise that thy faithful spirit
should hover about me; iliou hast kept
thy word; 1 feel thee nearer ; I feel thy
breath on .ny lips !” In a state of indescri
bable exaltation he seized his flute, again,
and again the answering tones of the iiarp
were heard, but constantly fainter and
fainter, until their whisperings were lo t
m expiring harmonies. Sellner’s vital
powers were fearfully excited by trie spirit
greeting ol this evening ; he trirew liiin
seil restlessly upon his bed, and in all his
feverish dreams the sweet whisperings oi
the harp were continually heard. lie a
woke late, wearied and exhausted by the
phantasies of th% night,—lie felt that lus
whole being was strangely affected, and
became, strongly impressed that lus disso
lution was approaching. With impatient
longing he awaited the return of evening,
and with confident hope again repaired
to Joseplia s chamber. By the aid of Ins
flute lie had succeeded in lulling hinisclt
.into a state of dreamy repose, when the
I ninth hour struck. Hardly hid trie list
j stroke ol trie clock ceased to vibrate,when
jthe harp began its soft and low responses
| to the flute, its tones gradually increasing
in strength, until they swelled into trie
most lull and perfect harmony. YVlien
trie flute became silent the spirit-tone
ceased, the. pale tremulous light again
flitted about him,, and In Ins beatitude he
could only exclaim : “Joseplia, Joseplia !
take oh take me to your faithful bosom !
This time, also, the spirit took -its de
parture in low and murmuring tones,
j which were gradually lost in inaudible
vibrations. Sellner tottered back to Ins
own room still more allected than on the'
previous evening. His faithful servant
was shocked at his master’s appearance, j
and in defiance of his prohibitions hasten-1
ed for the physician, who happened to be
one of Sellner’s most intimate friends.
The physician found him in a high fever '
with symptoms similar to those of Joseplia,!
but much more decided. The fever in
creased through the night, during i
he continually raved of Joseplia and the
harp*. In the morning he was more com-!
posed ; the struggle was past, and he felt!
that his release was near. He disclosed
to his friend the occurrences of the two
evenings, and no arguments could shake
his belief in their reality. As the even
ing approached he gradually grew more
feeble, and at last with a trembling voice
entreated to he conveyed to Josepha’s a
partment. Ilis wish was gratified. He
glanced about the room with sweet sere
nity, greeted with silent tears every ob
ject which reminded him of Josepha.and
spoke with a calm but firm conviction of
the ninth hour as that of his death. As
the decisive moment approached, he took
leave of his friends, and requested all
save his physician to retire. They were
left alone, —the ninth hour struck—Sell
ner’s pale features lighted up with a su
pernatural glow—' ' Josephs !” be cried.
'•HEAR ME FOR MY CAUSE.”
“Josephs ! greet me once more, on my
departure,, that I may feel thy presence
and overcome, death with thy love !” Im
mediately the harpstrings resounded with
a loud and triumphant harmony, and a
faint wavering light encircled the dying
man. “1 come, I come !” he exclaimed,
failing back in the l ist conflict with life.
Softer and fainter breathed the harp tones,
until, with his expiring breath, the strings
suddenly burst asunder—and ill was stiri,
O verwhelmed with emotion, the physician
left the lions®; and it was long before
he could erase the deep impression of
that last sad hour front his heart, or trust
Ins 1 ips to speak of it. In after life, how
ever, he would sometimes repeat the sto
ry in his own immediate circle, and ex
hibit the sacred legacy ol his deceased
friend -Joseph ris Harp.
A striking proof of the good feelings
which have so Assisted between the ship's
company of the French frigate Dryade,
and that of the Britisli Ime-of-buttle ship
Malabar, both at Lisbon, may here be
mentioned : these ships have been nearly
fourteen months together ; and the crew
ot the Dryade having heard that the
Malabar was on the point of returning to
England to be paid oft', sent an invitation
to the crew of the latter*or a part of them
to dine with them on board the Dryade.
The invitation having been accepted, a
splendid repast, in the true French style,
with an abundance of wine, was provided,
and at two o’clock spread on tables on
the main deck ; and after an interchange
oi the most friendly expressions, and an
afternoon oi much enjoyment, at half
past seven o’clock the party broke up.
In return for this hospitality, and to mark
their sense also of the cordial feelings
that had existed between the crews of these
ships, an invitation to dinner from the
seamen of the Malabar was given to those
oi the Dryade ; and accordingly, on the
t?tli insti, three hundred of the* crew of
the latter dined on board the Malabar, on
which occasion all the main deck guns
were run in fore and aft, the tables being
spread the length of the main deck, which
was screened m with flags, the' French
aod English ensigns being folded in val
ances, and placed at the head of the ta
ble. Tiie viands consisted of beef, mut
ton. poultry, etc., and ' plum puddings.
After t.iese had been heartily partaken
of, at the.request of the seamen of the
Dryade, they were shown round the Mul
abn, and during their temporary absence
irom the main deck, the remains of the
substantial fare were removed, and repla
ced by iruits oi every kind, and wine;
nor was grog introduced until a late hour;
each party separating delighted at tiie
mutual display of cordiality between them.

SuMMCtt Amusements. One night
early this week, the eorps drauiatiquc of
the Concord sloop of war, invited as many
ol tne crew of each ship of the squard
ron as could be spared from duty, to
witness the representation of the tragedy
of Douglass, together, with a considera
ble flourish of songs, interlude, amJ all
that ; the whole to conclude w.th the
| laughable and much admired farce of the
; Lying Yr'arlet ; all of which was regular
; ly set down in the bili of the play, drawn
* out ill a very neat and clerkly hand. Half
past seven was the hour fixed for tiie ri
i suig ot the curtain. Editors,it is known,
j it ive the nitre at all theatres, and we were
| there at the appointed hour. Some little
delay occurred, growing out, perhaps, of
adjusting the attire of Lady Randolph to
the somewhat too muscular proportions
of Mr. Thomas Ginter, or so'me such
! untoward cause ; but at length "the little
i hell began to tinkle, and all w as attention.
J The curt riii rose to the admiring eyes of
j four or five hundred spectitors, consist
ing entirely of the crews of the different
[ships. For the most of them seats had
! been provided, hut it was curious to see
| how Jack disdained the quietude and re
straint of the sitting posture. The audi
! ence were soon seen clinging to the rig
| giiiii, the guns, and the sides of the ship,
and the hammock netting was literally
crammed with boys. Still they sat (or
stood, or clung) out the play, with most
commendable decorum ; always applau
ding in the right time and place, though
sometimes laughing most obstreperously
at what the author intended should call
forth “the melting mood.” But no mat
ter —they did not cone to weep over the
wrongs of Youth Norval.
Among the entertainments of the even
ing, between the play and afterpiece, all
hands were piped to sros. While we
were wondering in what manner equal
and exact justice was to be done in this
delicate matter, so that every one of the
four hundred might get his share and no
one should get more, the fjrroper officer
began to call the roll ; for, with the usu
al attention to sjrstem in the navy, each
ship had sent a list of (he persons in at
tendance from that ship. All apjlfehcn
sion of injustice was thus entirely remov
ed, until it was ascertained that one of
the ships had sent no list. Here then
u»s a hole for Jack to creep out at. Not
that fie would wrong ins Hospitable enter
tainers out of the tiious anutu part of a
baw bee, but the joke of getting tw o or
three extra drinks, by busting up through
the crowd and haiimg from the missing
j roll, was too good to be tost. Tins over,
the Farce commenced, and tiie multitude
[enjoyed it even more titan they did the
; FRy —for why, it was later in the evening,
j and every body, actors and audience aim
j all, were in a better condition to impart
1 and to receive enjoyment.
These entertainments are highly cred
itable, not only to the men by whom they
are gotten up, but to tne officers also,
i without whose permission and assistance
| nothing of tiie kind could oi course be at
tempted. Exercises of this character
cannot fail to make tiiese hardy sous ol
the ocean more respectable and uetter sat
isfied with their condition. Suon amuse
ments can be enjoyed at intervals ouiy ;
hut there is a mouth or two m every year,
during which the elements make it unsafe
fur tne squadron to be at sea, and tne dis
i cases of trie climate render it equally -un
i safe to tie at any port but tins upon tiie
[station. YY r e cannot conceive ol*a more
innocent or a more profitable mode ol
spending the spare tune of tiie men, dur
ing tins season, than that winch lias been
fallen upon on board tiie Concord.
As to tiie merits of the acting, we can
only say generally, that it was Highly
creditable, and tne whole arrangement
exhibited taste, skill, and talent.—Pensa
cola Gazette.
A Pungent Argument.—YY r e happen
ed last Sunday altertioon to be at tne
Bethel iu North square. The house was
running over with seamen, wiio tilled the
body of the house, tne stairs to tiiepuipit,
and even tiie pulpit it sell.- YVe give me
following extract from tiie sermon of tiie
afternoon, as a fair specimen of tiie style
in winch the Rev. Air. Taylor makes a
practical application ol an important truth,
“i say, shipmates, now look me lull in uie
face. YY’iiat should you say oi' tiie man
aboard ship, who was always talking ü
bout his compass, and never usm j it !
YY’liat should you think ol tue man, who,
when the storm is gathering, night at
hand, tuoon and stars shut out, «n a lee
shore, breakers ahead, then first begins
to remember Ins compass, and says, ‘Un,
w liat a nice compass i have got on uoard,
if before that time he lias never looked
at it ? YY’here is it that you keep your
compass ? Do you stow it away m the
hold ? Do you clap it into the lore-peak! ’
By this time Jack’s face, that unerring
index of his soul, showed visibly, that the
j reduitio ad subsurdum had begun to tell.
Then came by a natural logic, as correct
as that of the school, the oou/unt.
“Now then, brethren, listen to me. Be
lieve not what the scolfer and the infidel
say. The Bible, the Bible is the compass
of life. Keep it always at hand. Steadi
ly, steadily fix your eye on ft. Study your
bearing by it. Make yourselfucquamted
with all its points. It will serve you m
calm and in storm, m the brightness of
moon-day and amidst the blackness of
night,it w ill car y you oyer every sea, aiev-j
ery clime, and navigate you, at Ist, into!
the harbor of eternal rest.” UouJd any!
thing be more iu point ! After all, refine
as much as you will, this is preaching.

betrayed an audaciousness which inspir
ed his parents with serious apprehensions,
j The frequency of the bloody quarrels in
which iie engaged with the cnildren of
the noblemen induced his father, Francis
Sliubry, to send him to the school of Go

himself by his application and his Talents;
though even there lie vexed his fellow
scholars by his tits of violence, lout* they
were always ready to forgive him in ac
knowledgement of his other good quali
ties. Sliubry was a poet, and'wrote bal
lads, which be himself set to music and
which were sung by his comrades in’cho
rus On these occasions he never failed
to become quite furious against any one
who sung false or mispronounced his ver
ses, from having the misfortune to be born
in a province where no pure German was
spoken. He was compelled to leave the
town m consequence of a fray whifih he
caused, by his first making the eHtfeats

In the month of June last* lie had%
serious engagement, with a bddy of thV

The same evening he had the audacity fb
go to the place where the very same Has*
sars were garrisoned, and to dine at a
table d'hote; where the conversation ve

“Do you k.iow Inin gentlemen 1” said he
in a loud voice. “No,” was the general
answer. “But I know him.” “How
