SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
THIS is ■ monthly Magazine devoted chief
ly to Lmnstcxx, bat occasionally find
ing room aldo for articles that (ail Within the
■oops of Scixxcx j and not professing an en
tire disdain of tasteful sstse lions, though its
matter has been, as it will continue to be, th
the main, origin*!.
Party Politics and controversial Theology,
as far as possible,are zealously excluded. They
are sometimes so blended With discussions in
literature or in moral science, otherwise unob
jectionable, 09 to gain admittance for the sake
of the more valuable matter to which they ad
here : but whenever that happens, they are in
cidental, only; not primary. They are dross,
tolerated only because it cannot well be ser
ved from the sterling ore wherewith it ia incor
porated.
Reviews, and Critical Notices, occupy
their due space in the work : and it is the Ed
itor’s aim that they should have a threefold
tendency—to convey, in a condensed form,
such valuable truths orlinteresting incidents as
are embodied in the works reviewed, —to direct
the reader's attention to books that deserve to
be read, —and to warn him against wasting time
and money upon that large number, which mer
it only to be burned. In this age of publica
tions that by tlieir variety and multitude dis
tract and overwhelm every undiscriininating
student, impartial criticism, governed by
the views just mentioned, is one of the most
inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to
him who does wish to discriminate.
Essays, and Tales, having in view utility
or amusement, or both— Historical sketch
es—and Reminiscences of events too minute
for History, yet elucidating it, aad heighten
ing its interest, —may be regarded as forming
the staple of the work. And of indigenous
Poetry enough is published—sometimes of no
mean strain —to manifest and to cultivate the
growing poetical taste and talents of our coun
try.
The times appear, for several reasons, to de
mand such a work—and not one alone, but
many. The public mind is feverish and irri
tated still, from recent political strifes : —The
soft, assuasive influence of Literature is need
ed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irrita
tion. Vice and folly are rioting abroad : —They
should be driven by indignant rebuke, or lash
ed by ridicule, into their fitting haunts. Igno
rance lords it over an immense proportion of
our people : Every spring should be set ill
motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to in
crease their number ; so that the great enemy
of popular government may no longer brood,
like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of
our country. And to accomplish all these ends,
what more powerful agent can he employed,
than a periodical, on the plan of the Messenger;
if that plan be but carried out in practice ?
The South peculiarly requires such an a
geat. In all the Union, south of Washington,
there are but two Literary periodicals ! North
ward of that city, there are probably at least
twenty-five or thirty ' Is this contrast justified
by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or
the actual literary taste, of the Southern peo
ple, compared with those of the Nolliern ?
No : for in wealth, talents, and taste, we may
justly claim at least an equality with our breth
ren ; and a domestic institution exclusively
our own,beyond all doubt affords us, if we
choose, twice the leisure for reading and wri
ting, which they enjoy
It was from deep sense of this local want,
that the word South f.km was engrafted on the
name of this periodical : and not with my de
sign to nourish local prejudices,or to advocate
supposed local interests, far from any' sneb
thought, it is the Editor’s fervent wish, to see
the tforth and South bound endearingly togeth
er forever. in the silken bands of mutual kind
ness and affection. Far from mediating hostil
ity to the North, he has already drawn, and he
hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest
matter thence : and happy indeed will lie deem
himself, should his pages, by making each re
gion know the other better, contribute in any
essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds
that now threaten the peace of both, and to
brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of l'a
ternal love.
The Southern Literary Messenger has
now reached the I‘Jth No. of its third volume.
How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered,
is not for the Editor to say. He believes, how
ever, that it falls not further short of them,
than human weakness usually makes Practice
fall short of Theory.
No subscription will be received for less than
a Volume, and must either begin with the cur
rent one —or may commence with Vol. IV, the
first number of which will be issued on the Ist
January, 1838.—The price is $5 per Volume,
which must be paid in all cases at the time oj
subscribing. This is particularly adverted to
now, to avoid misapprehension, or future mis
understanding—as no order will hereafter be
attended to, unless accompanied with the price 1
of subscription. THOMAS W. WHITE.

PROSPECTUS OF
T It c E \ p v »• i in cut.
IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication oi
a paper, the undersigned will depart from u
usage more honored in the breach, than in the ;
observance, and make no promises which it is j
not his design to fulfil. ‘•This Expeiu.me.nt,'
after a trial of almost 12 months, has not failed in |
recuring for the Editor, the attention and pat- j
sonage desired ; and it is conlidently believed, |
in rendering to subscribers, at least an eiptiva- |
lent for the pittance they contributed towards j
its support. Gratified for the encouragement j
manifested, desirous of making his little paper
worthy the patronage of an enlightened and
generous public, the subscriber has determined
to enlarge it to nearly quadru|de the present
dimensions, so that it will contain nearly four
times as much matter as it now does. Thus
will be afforded greater space for his own lucu
brations and those of correspondents, together
with Advertisements and judicious selections.
It may not be inappropriate here to remark, that,
for 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 j
expenditure, he must iiopeSTor increased re
ward; and consequently ;Uie subscription price
for the second volume will be One Dollar in
advance, or One Dollar and Fifty Cents, at the
expiration of the yea.*. This alteration, it will
be perceived, is not in proportion to the change
of sire 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 23 cents per
square for each subsequent insertion.
U” Those who can conveniently pay in ad
vance, by doing 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.

CARET’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE
LITERATURE.
TO say that thia is a reading age, implies a
desire for instruction, and the means to
fffttiQr that ijeiire, on the first point, all afa a
greed ; on the second, there is diversity both
of opinion and practice. We have newspa
per*, magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets of
all sixes, on nearly all subjects, which have
severally their classes of readers and support
era. And yet copious as are these means oi
intellectual aupply, more are atill needed. In
addition to the review* of the day and passing
notices of books, the people in large numbers,
in all parts of oUr great republic crave the po*
session of the books themselves, and details,
beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress
ot 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, engrossl
ing occupations which prevent personal appli
cation of even messages to libraries and 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 for his own use and that of his
ffttored friends or family, valuable works, com
plete, on all the branches of useful and popular
literature, and tiiat in a form adapted to the
comfort of the reader.
The charm of variety, as far as it is cornpati
ble with morality and good taste, will be held
constantly in view in conducting the Library,
to fill the pages of which the current literature
of Great Britain, in all its various departments
of biography, history, travels, novels and poe
try, shall be freely put under contribution.—
With 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 had to
the literary stores of Continental Europe, and
translations 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,-the
cover will exhibit the miscellaneous character
of a magazine, and consist of sketches of men
and things, 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.
I The resources and extensive correspondence
j of the publishers are the best guarantee for the
i continuance of the enterprize in which they
I are about to embark, as well as 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 fully satisfi
ed, as the editor of the Library is not a stran
ger to them, but has more than once obtained
their favorable suffrages for his past literary
efforts. TERMS.
The work will be published in weekly num
hers, in stitched covers, each number contain
ing twenty imperial octavo pages, with double
columns, making two volumes annually, ol
more than . r >2o octavo pages, each volume ; and
at the expiration of every six months, subscri
bers will be furnished with a handsome title
page and table of contents. The whole amount
of matter furnished 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 the Library will be printed,
will be 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
appearance, 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.
The price of the Library will l>e Five Dollars
per annum, payable in advance.
A commission of 20 per cent, will be allowed
to agents; and any agent or postmaster, fur
nishing five subscribers, and remitting the a
mount of subscription, shall be entitled to the
commission of 20 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
bove ns often as convenient, and send a copy
of tlieir paper containing the advertisement
marked, and entitle themselves to a free ex
change for one year. Address

PROPOSALS
For publishing, bp subscription, a work to be
entitled
Flora iieortsiensis.
THIS will be, both n Grammar and Diction
ary of Botany ; —presenting, first, Vegeta
ble Physiology, and, second, a minute and ac
curate description of every plant yet discovered
in Georgia, together with its medicinal or nox
ious properties—its English name—its emblem,
language, Ac. Such a work is much needed,
at this time, in our Southern Institutions. We
have no text book in Botany, calculated to
render the science attractive. Such as we
have, are nothing more than a few disconnected
facts in Physiology, or a dry desc iption of a
few leaves, roots, flowers, Ac. all tending to
excite disgust rather than taste. Students
should, as soon as possible, he inducted into the
practical part of the science—it is that only
which can inspire them with enthusiasm in the
prosecution of their researches. We have nev
er known a profound botanist, made so, bv
delving for months over pages treating of sap,
alburnum, cambium, and the like. This work
will teach pupils, first, the names of the classes
and orders in the Linnean system, the method
of analysing flowers, and, proceed next, to the
examining, collecting and arranging of them
into an herbarium. A lore for the science be
ing thus implanted, it must and will increase,
and urge them on to further and further investi
gations.
We intend that our work shall be, at once, a
text book for schools—a pleasing companion
! for ladies in the boudoir and saloon—a useful
( friend and companion for gentlemen in their
j travels, their daily rambles, Ac. Finally, it
| will be enriched w ith'every species of informa
tion which can render such a work entertaining
and instructive.
We solicit the assistance of scientific gentle
men throughout the State, in furnishing us witli
information concerning the names, locality and
habits of plants in their immediate vicinity.—
Such information will be gratefully and proper
ly acknowledged..
Postmasters are requested to act as agents in
receiving and forwarding us subscriber's names,
as early as the Ist November.
The work will contain from 5 to 700 pages,
octavo, and be furnished to subscribers, in
boards, at $5 per copy. It will be issued dur
ing the next winter, provided the number of
subscribers warrant the expense.
All Editors throughout the Southern States,
friendly to the diffusion of scientific knowledge,
who will insert this notice, and forward us a
copy of their paper, will be entitled to one copy
of the work. L. LATASTE,

HAVING received a number of communi
cations from individuals, making enquir
■e* respecting my Brick Machine, invented by
Calvin Waterman, and now in succeatftil ope
ration in this place, I take Ibis method of an
swering them—l invite all who feel disposed
to purchase rights, to come and see the opera
tion of the machine, and if there be any one
who says he is disappointed in his expectations,
I bind myself to pay the expenses of his trip.
1 do not expect to sell a right to any one with
out their first having seen the machine ; but in
order to afford an idea of its value, I annex the
following certificates, one of them signed by
two of the most experienced brick masons in
the Southern States. In my absence from
Macon, the editors of the Messenger will act
as my authorized agents.
T. L. SMITH.
We having 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 besj
recommendation. We timed it. and find that
witii new moulds and inexperienced hands, it
made at the rate of two thousand three bund
red and sixty-eight brick per hour. By mould
ing ten hours in a day, it would therefore turn
out twenty-three thousand six hundred per day.
It requires six boys to bear off, and four to sand
the moulds, Ac.—together with four grown
men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make the 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 I have ever seen, both as to the quality
of the brick and expedition in making. By re
quest I timed the machine for half an hour;
the result of that trial shows that with 14 hands
the machine will turn out of beautiful and well
tempered brick, 2,308 in one hour, or about 40
to the minute. JNO. RUTHERFORD.

THE undersigned, late editor and proprietor
of the Augusta Chronicle, having the ex
tensive business of that establishment to close,
and conscious from long experience, how much
such a facility is needed, at least by the Press,
is disposed to connect with it a Ornefal Agrn
cy for the collection of Newspaper and other
Debts, in this and the neighboring Southern
States, and will travel almost continually to
present them himself. Should the business of
sered be sufficient, the agency will be made a
permanent one—and while his long connexion
with the Press and consequent knowledge of
its peculiar requisitions and benefits
an Agency, and his extensive personal acquain
tance with the localities and people of the coun

ance of its duties, he trusts that suitable en

instances, but cannot consent to take more from
one than another, or than lie himself would
willingly pay ; and now fixes on these rates as
those he lias paid, and as being as low as can
be afforded, or as he has ever known paid—
trusting for remuneration, more to the probable
extent of business he may receive, than to tin
rates themselves, together with the considera

AND GARDENERS.
GR.* GARRETSON, has removed his
• wholesale and retail Agricultural and
Garden Seed Wharehouse, to Flushing, L. 1.,
New York, where he intends , dealing exten
sively in the above business, and will be at all
times enabled to furnish dealers and others with
every article in his line'of business. And as
the greater part of his stock of Seeds is raised
under his personal attention or direction, or
where it is necessary to import from Europe,
they are procured from the most respectable
Seed establishments there, and their qualities
being tested to his own satisfaction, their accu
racy and vitality are expressly warranted.
The vending of Seeds is a business deserv
ing much greater attention from the mercan
tile community than is at present bestowed up
on it. There is scarcely a farmer or planter
who would not purchase an assortment of su
i perior Garden Seeds if they could procure them
easily. And as they yield a handsome profit,
| some explanations may be requisite in regard to
I making sales, Ac. They are Usually supplied
j by the pound or bushel, and will afford a profit
of 100 per cent, or more, at the New York re
tail prices. For convenience they can be neat
ly papered and labelled and assorted into boxes
(or put up in strong papers, thereby saving the
expense of box) each suitable fora family gar
den, which will be supplied at from $1 to $25
—the latter being sufficient to crop a garden
of one acre. Or they can be put into G 1-4 and
12 1-2 cent papers, neatly labelled, and assort
ed suitable for a retail dealer, each of which by
the quantity will be charged so as to allow a
profit of d0 per cent, on the New York retail
prices. Any one wishing to engage in the
vending of seeds, and not having experience,
by addressing the proprietor will have the ne
cessary information given, and they may feel
confident they will be served with none but ar
ticles of the very best quality.
The Proprietor has further to state, that he
is enabled to furnish all kinds of Books on Ag
j riculture, Horticulture, Floriculture, Aboricul-
I ture, Rural Economy, Ac. Ac. Also, Agri
cultural Implements ofllusbandry and Garden
Tools of every description. Also, Fruit and
Ornamental Trees and Herbaceous -Flowering
Plants, Roses and Green House Plants of a very
great variety; all of which can be packed so
as to be transported to any part of the United
States, West Indies or else where. Great at
tention has been paid to obtaining both from
foreign countries and at home, the finest agri
cultural seeds, all of which can be furnished in
large quantities, and where the purchase is
made for cosh a discount will he allow-ed. A
liberal credit will he given where a good under
standing is established. There will be no dif
ficulty in arranging this point to mutual con
venience, and on this, and every other subject,
the suggestions of correspondents will receive
the fullest consideration.
MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS.
50,000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry
or Morus muiticau/is, for sale. Os all the va
rieties of Mulberries for silk, this appears most
eminently entitled to preference, ami since its
introduction into France seems destined to re
place every where the common White Mulber
ry for the nourishment of silk worms, such is
its superiority over all others. The tree is
beautiful and of a rapid growth, and will thrive
well in almost any situation, and a few years
are sufficient to raise considerable fields of them
in full vigor, sufficient to support an immense
number of silk worms. The raising of silk is
as easy as the raising of wheat and much less
laborious. For a number of years past it has
been a regular and profitable employment of
many ofthe farmers of Connecticut,during the
early part of the summer, and is emphatically
a business of the farmer—of the cottage—a
simple labor, in which females and children
who do not essentially aid in supporting a fam
ily may turn their services to profit. Every
family of the most limited means can raise tlie
mulberry and produce cocoons, and for a trifle
can procure a pamphlet which will give them
the necessary information of reeling. Ac. The
plants can be packed so as to be transported to
any’ part of the Uniou and will he furnished in

the herald and star.
IT cannot be denied that the present state ol
our country demands peculiar and well di
rected activity on the part of the press to make
known the features of the various topics which
are now agitating the various portions of the
national confederacy. To supply, at a low
price, the inland towns with information, at a
little delay only, after it lias been received in
the Atlantic cities, is praiseworthy, and should
in the end reward such persons as exert their
ability for the successful furtherance of this ob
ject.
The Editors and Proprietors of the Boston
Daily Herald, convinced of the importance ol
a carefully conducted press to disseminate in
formation throughout the country, some weeks
since issued the first number of the Semi
Weekly Hekai.u and Star, which they have
found to be suitable to the wants of the inland
community, as it furnishes over one hundred
newspapers in a year, at the very low price oi
two dollars. This paper is made up from the
Daily Herald with such additional matter, in
the shape of stories, legends, poetry, statements
ofthe markets, and such information respecting
sales as may be deemed advantageous to the
yeomanry of the land.
Tlie peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
be found to be in the fact that while it is not
engaged in party politics, it reserves to itselt
the liberty of speaking boldly and openly on
every subject which concerns the weal of the
whole country—and summons to aid, besides
the constant supervision of the Editors, valua
ble assistants, who are industriously’ and hour
ly exerting themselves to give strength and a
bility to their 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 ; $2,50 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 Pro
prietors. HARRINGTON A CO.

TO PRINTERS.
p WHITE &WM. HAGER, respectfully
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 xaij fa vor
them with their orders. 1 r
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 ingenuity, a heavy
expenditure of time and money on the part of
our senior partner, first successfully acconi
pltshed. Extensive use of the machine-cast
letter, has fully tested and established its g U .
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 Sixty-four Lines Pica. The Book

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Southern Literary Aspirant.
ON the first of September next, will be is
sued the first number of the Southern Lit
erary Aspirant, in quarto form, medium—to be
conducted by the present Editor ofthe “ News
Carrier;’’ at which time that paper will merge
into the former. 6
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 of 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, that himself nor the public,
through him, will be disappointed in their ex'
pectations of its character and success.
We intend that our paper shall be a faithful
vehicle of general News. The cause of the
South, will be its cause, and the advancement
ot her interest its chief aim and desire. Asa
paper, it will espouse no party ; the important
affairs 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
ceive particular attention.
Persons obtaining ten responsible subscribers
to the Aspirant, will be entitled to one copy
gratis.
Terms. The Aspirant will be published ev
ery Saturday, in the city of Macon, at Two
Dollars per annum—sl 25 for six months
payable in advance. No subscription received
for a less period.
Advertisements will be inserted at the usual
rates.
Letters on business must be post paid to in
sure attention.

THE subscribers tender their thanks to th*
gentlemen of Glynn County for the lib
eral patronage they have received and hope by
their continned exertions and untiring attention
to business, to merit further patronage. They
intend in the fall to open as splendid an assort
ment of GOODS in their line, as will be found
in any other establishment of the kind in the
city of Darien. They again invite the public
to call and judge for themselves.
Their establishment will remain open during
the Summer and all orders punctually attended
to. SHERMAN A CHURCHILL.

THE architectural beauty of many of lbs
PUBLIC BUILDINGS of thiscity is pro
verbial. They have not only been the pride ol
the city, but excite the attention of all stran
gers. Believing that it would be highly accep
table to our numerous patrons, scattered as they
are from the Lakes to the Ocean, to be present
ed with Splendid Illustrations, from the
hands of first rate artists—w’e have made ar
rangenu its to bring out a complete series.—
They will embrace a correct am. well executed
view of all the PUBLIC EDIFICES, of our
city and vicinity, forming in the end a collec
tion, that may well be termed the LIONS OF
PHILADELPHIA, and which will be present
ed to our patrons, without trenching upon the
usual variety of our columns. Where it may
be expedient we will accompany the engrav
ings with such descriptions of size and facts of
history, as may be ofinterest.
We shall begin the publication as soon as we
get several engravings from the hands of the
artists, who are now at W’ork upon them. On
the appearance of the first view we shall espe
cially increase our edition of the Courier, to,
supply those who may wish to obtain and pre
serve these views.
The views will also appear regularly in the
PHILADELPHIA MIRROR.
ffU’Asa trifling expression of our regard, we
shall print the whole series, at theircompletion,
upon fine white paper, in uniform style—form
beautiful collection of Views, and present
them to such of our country brethren, as may
oblige us by an insertion of this notice.
