PROSPECTUS or TH it 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. Richmond, Va. Oct. 1837. 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. Washington, Ga., July 27, 1837. o*Papers publishing the above, will confer a favor. Job Printing N’natly executed at this Office. 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 E. L. CARY A A. HART, Philadelphia. 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.

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. JOHN SPRINGER. DAVID F. WILSON. Macon, April 14, 1837. 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. Macon, April 14. June Sly. General newspaper and C’ol leetion Ageiicj . 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 try, afford peculiar facilities tor the perform ance of its duties, he trusts that suitable en quiries will leave no doubt of prompt and faith ful attention to them. A. 11. PEMBERTON. Mr. Pemberton will commence a trip through Barnwell and Beaufort Districts, to Savannah, thence through Bryan, Liberty, Mclntosh; Glynn and Camden counties, and back through Wayne, Ac. to Savannah; and thence through Effingham, Seriven, Burke, Jefferson, Wash ington and Warren, to Augusta. After which, he will travel through most of the neighborind districts of South Carolina, and the middle ang upper counties of Georgia; and through the States of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, N. Carolina, Virgin’s. &c. He will receive, for collection, claims of any kind. Terms as follows : Newspaper accounts, s■(:.

He has been offered more in some 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 tion of travelling for his health, and to collect for himself. Mercantile accounts, 5 per cent, more or less according to amount, Ac. Remittances will be made according to instruc tion,and at the risk of those to whom they are addressed—he furnishing the Postmaster's cer tificate of the amount deposited, and description ot money, whenever a miscarriage occurs.— When left to liis discretion, as often as circum stances, amount collected, safety, economy, Ac. may seem to justify, and checks, drafts, or suitable notes in size, currency where sent, Ac. can be obtained—and at the risk of those ad dressed to him in this city, will be immediately forwarded to him, when absent.

The office is well found in Job, newspaper and ornamental type, the list of sub scribers is tolerably large, and they doubt not might be greatly augmented by a little exertion. To any person desirous of embarking in the business it offers inducements not inferior to any in the State, but to a practical printer they know of no investment he could make ot his money that would yield him a more profitable return. HYBART & STRANGE. Fayetteville, 30th May, 1837. HJ*Printers will confer a favor by giving the «Wt» Hr* *y tkrrs# i««*Tti*n is tft*ir paper*. To Merchant*, Agriculturist* 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 quantities to suit purchasers, and at very mod erate rates.

Brunswick, Ga. June 8, 1837. 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. Boston, 1837.
