PROSPECTUS or THE SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER THIS m a monthly Magazine devoted chief ly to Lit-ehati he, but occasionally find ing room also for articles that fall within tin scope of Science ; and not professing nn en tire disdain of tasteful selections, though its matter has been, as it will continue to be, in the main, original. Party Polities and controversial Theology, Us far as possible,are zealously excluded. '1 hey are BOinetiines so blended with discussions in literature or in moral science, otherwise unob jectionable, as 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 is incor porated. Reviews, and Critical Notices, occupy their due space in the work : and it is the Ed itor'* aim that they should have a threefold tendency—to convey, in a condensed form, »uch valuable truths or'interesting 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 vasling time and money upon that large 'number, which mer it only to be burned. In this age of publica tions that by their variety and multitude dis tract and overwhelm every undiscriminating student, impartial cniTit ism, governed by the views just mentioned, is one ot the most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to him who does irish to discriminate. Essays, and Tales, having in view utility or amusement, or botli— Historical sketch es—-and Reminiscences of events too minute for History, yet elucidating it, and heighten ing its interest., —may be regarded as forming the staple of the work. And ot indigenous Poetkv enough is published —sometimes oi no mean strain—to manifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talents ot our coun try. The times appear, for several reasons, to de mand such a work—and not one alone, hut many. The public mind is feverish and irri tated still, from recent political strifes : 1 lie soft, assuasive inlliieiice of Literature is need ed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irrita tion. Vice and lolly are rioting abroad They should be driven by indignant rebuke, nr lash ed by ridicule, into their lilting haunts. Igno rance lords it over an immense proportion oi our people : Every spring should be set in motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to in crease their number ; so that the great eiirm} of popular government may no longer hrooil. like a portentous cloud, over tin* destinies of our country. And to accomplish all these ends, what more powerful agent cun be employed, than a periodical, on the plan.id the Messenger; if that plan be but carried out in practice r The South peculiarly requires such ail a gent. In all the Union, south id Washington, there are but two Literary periodicals! North ward of that city, there are probably at least twenty-five or thirty ! Is tins 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 Notiiern : 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 aiforda us, it we choose, twice the leisure for reading and wri ting, which they enjoy. It was from deep sense ol this local want, that the word Sot Till.nx was engrafted on flu name of this periodical : and not with any de sign to nourish local prejudices, or t.i advocate supposed local interests. Far from any such thought, it is the Editor's fervent wish, to see the North and South hound endearingly togeth er forever, in the silken bands of mutual kind new and affection. Far from mediating hostil ity to the North, he has already drawn, and he hope* hereafter to draw, much of lrs choicest matter thence : and happy indeed will lie deem himself, should his pages, by making each re gion kaow the other better, contribute in any essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds that bow threaten the peace of both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties ot in ternal love. The Southern hnitiuiv Messenger has now reached the 13th No. of its tltinl volume. How far it lias acted out tile ideas here uttered, is not for the Editor to say. He believes, how ever, that it falls not further short if them, than human weakness usually makes Practice fall short of Theory. No subscription will he 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, 183"'.—The price is $5 per Volume, which must be petid in all rases at the time of subscribing. This is particularly adverted to now, to avoid 'misapprehension, or future mis understanding—as no order will hereafter lie attended to, unless accompanied with the price of subscription. THOMAS \V. WHITE. Richmond, Va. Oct. 1837. IMU)BPECTUSf|DF Tli c E x i> v r i lit o is I. IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication i t 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'i iumi.n i . aftera tFial of almost 12 months, has not failed in recuring for the, Editor, the attention and pat ronage desired ; ami it is confidently believed, in rendering to subscribers, at least an equiva lent for the pittance they contributed towards its support. Gratified lor the encouragement 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 quadruple 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 liis own lucu brations and those of correspondents, together with Advertisements and judicious selections. It easy not G* inappropriate here t.. remark,that, for want of room, some of the Rest communica tions have been excluded, and occasionally in teresting matter, difficult to condense within so small a compass. With increased labor anil expenditure, he must hope for increased re ward ; and consequently. the snb-v --for the second volume will be One Dollar in advance, or One Dollarand Fifty Cents, at the expiration of the year. This alteration, it will be perceived, is not in proportion to the change of size 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.

TO say that this is u reading age, implies a | desire for instruction, and the means to ; gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a J greed; on the second, there is diversity both ,of opinion and practice. We have newspa- j I per*, magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets of all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have! j severally their classes of readers and support ' | ers. And yet copious as are these means ot intellectual supply, more are still needed. Jn addition to the reviews of the day and passing notices of books, the people in large numbers, I in ail parts of our great republic crave the pos ! session ol the books themselves, and details, beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress [ ot discovery in art and science. Rut though it * be easy to ascertain and express their wants, it is not so easy to gratify them. Expense, dis- ; tancc from the emporium of literature, engrossl i ing occupations which prevent personal appli- j cation ot even messages to libraries and book sellers, are so many causes to keep people a- i way from the feast of reason and the enjoyment j |of the covered literary aliment ft is the oh j jectofthe publishers of the Library to obviate. | these difficulties, and to enable every individ j ual, at a small cost and without any personal j ; effort, to obtain for his own use and that of his [ layered friends or family, valuable works, com- j 1 plrto, on all the branches of useful and popular ■ | literature, ami that in a form adapted to the' ! comfort of the reader. j The charm of variety, as far ns it is coinpati i ble with morality and jrood taste, will be held i constantly in view in conducting the Library, i to till the pages of which the current literature of Great Britain. in all its various departments of biograph}', history, travels, novels and poe | try, shall lie freely put under contribution.— [ With perchance occasional i xccptiens, it is in-1 1 tended to give entire tile work which shall he) selected for publication. When circumstances i authorize the measure, recourse will be hud to i | the literary stores of Continental Europe, and j j translations made from French, Italian or Ger j I man. as the case ma y be. W hilstthe body of the work willin' 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 m ees of novelties in literature and the arts throughout the civilized world.— A full and regular suppl v of the literary, month ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain and In land, in addition to home periodicals oi a similar character, cannot fail to provide am ple materials for this part ofour work. I i.e resources and extensive correspondence 1 of the publishers are the best guarantee for the j continuance ol the enterprise in w hich they j are about to embark, a* well as for the ahun-j dance ot the mail rials to give it value ill the j eyes ot the public.

W ALDUS'S LITERARY OMNIBUS A'otel and Important Literary Enterprise \orels, Talcs. Biography, Voyages, Tratels, Retirees, and the .Xeics 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 hooks 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 the access to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac cessible; we gave, and shall continue to give, in the quarto library, a volume weekly for two cents a day ; we now propose to give a volume, in the same period, for 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 offering to an increasing literary appetite, that mental lood j which it craves. The Select Circulating Library, now as ever j so great a favorite, will continue to make its j weekly visits, and to be issued in a form for binding and preservation, and its price andi form will remain the same. But we shall, in | the first week of January, 18157, issue a huge sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers of America, but on very superior paper, also .fil ed with books, of the newest and most entertain ing, though, in their several departments of Novels, Tales, Voyages, Travels, Ac., select in their character, joined with reading, such as shouhl fill a weekly newspaper. By this moth- | od, we hope to accomplish a great good ; toen- j 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- j dent, and to do it in a manner that the most j sceptical shall acknowledge “the power of I concentration car no farther go.” No book, which appears in Waldie’s Quarto Library, will be published in the Omnibus, which will be an i entirely distinct period.cal.

Smith's new Brick Machine, invented by Calvin Waterman, now in operation in this place, take pleasure in recommending it to the public. 'l’he fact of its performance is its bes; recommendation. We timed it, and find that with new moulds and inexperienced hands, it made at the rate of two thousand three bund rod anil 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 otf. and four to sand the moulds.

Bv re quest t 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, 2,31>8 in one hour, or about 40 to the minute.

GARRETSON, ha. 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 j 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 access* :y to import from Europe, they are procured from the most rwspectable Seed establishments there, and their qualities being tested to his own satisfaction, their accu racy and vitality are expressly warranted. The vending ofSeeds 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 perior Garden Seeds if they could procure them easily. And as they yield a handsome profit, some explanations may be requisite in regard to making sales, Ac. They are usually supplied by the pound or bushel, and will afford a profit of IGO 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 6 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 80 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 riculture, Horticulture, Floriculture, Aboricul ture, Rural Economy, Ac. &c. Also, Agri cultural Implements of Husbandry and Garden Tools of every description. Also, Fruit and Ornamental Trees and Herbaceous Flowering Plants.

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 cash a discount will be allowed. A liberal credit will be given where a good under standing is established. There will be no dif | Acuity in arranging this point to mutual con [ l enience, and on tills, and every other subject, I the suggestions of correspondents will receive the fullest consideration. | MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS. 50,000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry or Mortis multicaul is, for sale. Os all the va rieties of Mulberries for silk, this appears most eminently entitled to preference, and 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 of the 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 the mulberry and produce cocoons, and fur a trifle can procure a pamphlet which will give them the necessary information of reeling. Ac. The p'ants can be paeked so as to be transported to any part of the Uniou and will be furnished in quantities to suit purchasers, and at very mod erate rates. Nov.

IT cannot be denied that the present state ol our country demands peculiar and well di reett'd activity on the part ot the press to make known the features of tlic 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 ot the importance of a carefully conducted press to disseminate in formation throughout the country, some weeks since issued the first number of the Semi Weekly Hkkai.d 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 of two dollars. This paper is made up from the Daily Herald with such additional matter, in the shape of stories, legends, poetry, statements of the markets, and such information 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 not engaged in party politics, it reserves to itsell 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 Tups 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; 182,50 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. c - HARRINGTON A CO. Boston, 1837. NEW PRINTING Brunstofcfc, Croigbi.
