Having received a number of communi
cation* from individual*, making enquir
ies respecting my Brick Machine, invented by
Calvin Waterman, and now in successful ope
ration m this place, I take Jiis method of an
swering them— I invite all who feel disposed
to purchase rights, to come and see the opera
tion of the machine, if there be anyone
who sayslie it 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. 1 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 iny authorized agents.
T. L. SMITH.
Wc 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 lies)
recommendation. We timed it, and find that
with new moulds and inexperienced hands, it
made at the rate of two thousand three hand
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, &c.—together with four grown
man. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make the above named quantity of the most
beautiful brick per day.

Macon, ApfH 14, 1837.
I have Withered lbs performance of Mr T.
},. 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 ; j
the result of that trial shows that with 11 hands
the machine will turn out of beautiful anil well
temper'll,brick,sl,3oß in one hour, or about 40
to the minute. JNO. RUTHERFORD.

devote himself more exclusively to the duties
of his profession, the undersigned offer for sale
the establishment of the North Carolina Jour

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

WALDIE’S LITERARY OMNIBUS.— :
Aorel and Important Literary Fntefprize!
.Xorcls , Tales, Biography, ioyages, Tea rile.
Iterictrs, and the Aries of the Day- it was
one of the great objects of "Waidic 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 iitti,-
rnry, 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,
ill the same period, for less than four rents 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 tin
day. We know, by experience and calcula
tion, that we can go still further in the matter
of reduction, aud we feel, that there is still
verge enough for us to aim at offering to an
increasing literary appetite, that mental food
which it craves.
The Select Circulating Library, now as ever
so great a favorite, will continue to make its 1
weekly visits, and to be issued in a form for
binding and preservation, and its price anil
form will remain the same. But \ve shall, in i
the first week of January, 1837, issue a huge ‘
sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers of
America, but on very superior paper, also .Jill- i
eil with hooks, of the newest and most entertain
ing, though, in their several departments of j
Novels,Tales, Voyages,Travels, Ac., select in i
their character, joined with reading, such as
should fill a weekly newspaper. By this meth
od, we hope to accomplish a great good ; toon
liven and onlight m the family circle, and to
give to it, at at expense which shall he no con- 1
sideration to any, a mass of reading, that, in
book form, would alarm the pockets of the pru
dent, and to do it in a manner that the most
sceptical shall acknowledge “ the power of
concentration can no farther go.” No book,
which appears in Waldie's Quarto Library, will
be published in the Omnibus, which wtil be an
entirely distinct periodical.
Tf.rms. Waldie's Literary Omnibus, will
be issued every Friday morning, printed on pa
per of a quality superior to any other weekly
sheet, and of the largest size. It will contain,
Ist. Books, the. newest and the best that can
be procured, equal every week, to a London
duodecimo volume,embracing Novels. Travels.
Memoirs, «Sic., unu only churgtahh with Acws- |
paper postage. .
2d. Literary reviews, tales, sketches, notices !
of books, and information from --the world of
letters,” of every description.
3d. The news of the week, concentrated inti
a small compass, but in a sufficient amount to
embrace a knowledge of the principal events,
politi*U and miscellaneous, of Europe and A
utericu.
The price will be TWO DOLLARS to clubs
of five subscribers, where the paper is forward
ed to one address. The clubs of two individ- :
unis. FIY L DOLLARS : single mail subsertb- i

uncurrent money will be charged to the remit

until the payment is reccircd in adtanee.
As the anangements.for the prosecution of
this great literary undertaking, are all made, !
and the proprietor has redeemed all his pledges
to a generous public for many years, no fear of
non-fulfilinent of the contract can be felt. The
Omnibus will be regularly issued, and will
contain, in a year, reading matter equal in a
niount to two volumes of Rees’ Cyclopedia, for
the small sum mentioned above. Address (post

Garden Seed YYliarcliousc, to Flushing, L. 1.,
New York, where he intends defiling 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 ire -ssary tn'inrpert from Eurfipe, j
they are procured front the most respectable j
Seed establishments there, and tln-ir qualities j
being trsted-tohis own satisfaction, their accu
racy and vitality are expressly warranted.
The vending of Seeds is a business deserv
ing much greater attention from the inerean- |
tile community than is at present bestowed up- j
on it. There is scarcely a farmer or planter j
who would not purchase an assortment of su
perior Garden Seeds if they could procure them j
easily. And as they yield a handsome profit, |
some explanations may he requisite in regard to j
making sales, Are. They are usualjy supplied
by the pound or bushel, and will afford a profit ,
oi lt)o.per cint or mere, at the New York re-j
tail prices. For convenience they can be neat
ly papered and labi i'l-ii and assorted into boxes
(or put up in strong papers, thereby saving the ;
expense of box) each suitable for a family gar- i
den. which will be supplied at from §1 to §2-i |
—the latter being sufficient to crop a garden]
of one acre. Or they can be put into t> 1-4 and
12 1-2 cent papers, neatly labelled, anil assort
ed suitable tor 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 1
prices. Any otic wishing to engage in the
, vending of seeds, and not having experience.

t eessarv in lb filiation given, and they may feel

MULBERRIES FOll SILK WORMS.
60.000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry
or Mortis miiftitaidis, for sale. Os all the va
rieties of Mulberries fi r silk, this appears most
eininentlv entitled to preference, and since its
introduction into France seems destined to re
pl ice every where the common White .Mulber
ry for the nourishment of silk worms, such is
its superiority over all others. The tree is
1 beautiiul 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 w orms. The raising of silk is
I as easy as the raising oi wheat and much less
laborious. For a number of years past it lias
l been a regular and profitable employment of
many of the farmers of Connecticut, during tin
early part of the summer, and is emphatically
j a business of tlie 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 for a trifle
can procure a pamphlet which will give them
the necessary information of reeling, A.C. The
plants can be packed so as to be transported to

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 tin- features of the various topics which
are now agitating the various portions of the
; national eonti-deraey. To supply-, at a low
price, the inland towns with information, at a
little delay only, alter it lias been received in
i the Atlantic cities, is praiseworthy, and should
in the end reward such persons as exert their
ability tor the suee.essiul lurtherunee of this ob
i jeet.
i The Ed.tors and Proprietors of the Boston
i Daily Herald, convinced of the importance ol
j a earetully conducted press to disseminate in
-1 formation throughout the country, some weeks
since issued the first number of the Skmi
; Wki:ki.y Herald and Star, which tlu-y have
i found to be suitable to the wants of tlu- inland
| community, as it furnishes over one hundred
] newspapers in a year, at the very low price ol
] two dollars. This paper is made up from the
j 1 fculy Herald with such additional matter, in
‘ tin- shape of stories, legends, poetry, statements
] of the markets, andsuedi information respecting
sales as may be defined 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 itselt
the liberty of speaking boldly and openly on
every subject which concerns the \G-al 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 anti 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.
Tlie price is Tw o 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 ill a letter addressed to the Pro
prietors. HARRINGTON A CO.

s PROSPECTUS OF ~
The Experiment.
IN issuing a Prospectus for the pbblie&tion ol
a paper, the undersigned will depart from a
usage mpre honored in the breach, than in the
observance, and make no promises which it is
not his design to fulfil. “The Experiment,”
alter a trial of almost 12 months, has not failed in
re-curing for the Editor, the attention and pat
sonage desired; and it is confidently believed,
in rendaring to subscribers, at least an equiva
lent for the pittance they contributed towards
its support. Gratified for 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 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
expenditure, he must hope for increased re
ward; and consequently, the subscription price
for the sccqfcd volume will be One Dollar in
advance, or One Dollar and Fifty Cents, at the
expiration of the year. This alteration, it will
be perceived, is not in proportion to the change
af size in the paper; the times being hard, we
ore willing to work as low as we can, to save
ourselves from debt, to please our patrons and
ourselves also.
Advertisements, as heretofore at 50 cents per
square for the first insertion, and 25 cents pin
square for each subsequent insertion.
(UpTliose 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.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
rriillS is a monthly Magazine devoted chief
_L ly to Literature, but occasionally find
ing room also for articles that fall within the
scope of Science ; and not professing an en
tire disdjiin of tasteful selections, though its
matter has been, as it will continue to be, in
the main, original. >
Party Politics and controversial Theology,
as far as possible,are zealously excluded. They
are sometimes so blended witli 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's aim that they should have a threefold
tendency—to convey, in a condensed form,
such 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 wasting 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 criticism, governed by
the views just mentioned, is one of the most
inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to
him who does icish to discriminate.
Essays, and Tales, having in view utility
or amusement, or both— Historical sketch
i s— 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, assuasivo 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
I our people : Every spring should be set in
] motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to in-
I crease their number ; so that the great enemy
lof popular government may no longer brood,
I like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of
I our country. And to accomplish all these ends,
j what move powerful agent can he employed,
I 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
j gent. In all the Union, south of Washington",
there are but two Literary periodicals ! North
| ward of that city, there are prohaldy at least
twenty-five or thirty ! Is this contrast justified
j bv the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or
j the actual literary taste, of the Southern peo
\ pie, compared with those of the Nothern ?
No : for iu 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 lor reading and wri-
I ting, which they enjoy.
j It was from deep sense of this local want.
I that the word Southern was engrafted on tin
name of this periodical : and not with any de
i sign to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate
j supposed local interests. Far from any such
j thought, it is the Editor's fervent wish, to see
j the North and South bound endearingly togeth
er forever, in the silken bands of mutual kind
' ness and affection. Far from mediating hostil
j ity to the North, he has already drawn, and he
; hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest
matter tju-nce : and happy indeed will he 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 ot fa
terrial love.
The Southern Literary Messenger has
now levelled the H>th No. of its third volume,
j How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered,
lis not for the Editor to say. He believes, liow-
I ever, that it falls not further short of them,
! than human weakness usually makes Practice
] fall short of Theory.
I No subscription will bereeeived'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
j January, 1838.—The price is $5 per Volume,
which must he paid in all cases at the time of
subscribing. This is particularly adverted to
: now, to avoid misapprehension, or future mis
| understanding—as no order will hereafter be
j attended to, unless accompained with the plice
of subscription. THOMAS W. WHITE.

THE architectural beauty of many of tli*
PUBLIC BUILDINGS of this city is pro

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 fYom the Lakes to the Ocean, to be present
ed with Splendid Illustrations, from the
hands of first rate artists—we have made ar
rangements to bring out" a complete series.—
They will embrace a correct ant. w-ell executed
view of all the PUBLIC EDIFICES, of our

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 of interest.
We shall begin the publication as soon as we
get several engravings from the hands of the
artists, who are now at work 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.

PROSPECTUS

Southern Literary Aspirant.
ON the first of September next, will be is
sued the first number of the Southern Lit

into the former.
Such a work is offered to the public from -a
firm conviction of its necessity and importance;
and the editor has only to regret that abler

TO PRINTERS.
EM IHTE A. IV M. HAGER, respectfully
• inform the Printers of the United States,
] to whom they have been individually known
j as established letter founders, that they have
j now formed a co-partnership in said business,
j and an extensive experience, they hope, to be
! able to give satisfaction to all who may favor
j them with their orders.
The introduction of machinery in place of
the tedious and unhealthy process of casting
! type by hand, a desideratum by the European
! founders, was by American ingenuity, a heavy
| expenditure of time and money on the part of
our senior partner, first successfully accom
plished. Extensive use of the machine-cast
letter, has fully .tested and established its su
periority in every particular, over those cast
by the old process.
The letter foundry business will hereafter
he 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
and News type being in tlie most modern style.

PROPOSALS
For publishing, by subscription, a work to be
, , .entitled
Flora Georgiensis.
THIS will be, both a 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—iu English name—iU emblem,
language, &c. Such a work is much needed,
atthis 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, <fcc. all tending to
excite disgust rather than taste. Students
should, as soon as possible, be inducted info 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 profouad botanist, made so, by
delving for months over pages treating of sap,
alburnum, cambium, and the like. This work
will teach pupils, first, the name* 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 oil 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
travels, their daily rambles, &c. Finally, it
will be enriched with 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 with
information concerning the names, locality and
habits of plants in their immediate vicinity.—
Such information will be gratefully and proper
ly acknowledged.
Postmasters arc 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 ftirnished to subscribersf in
boards, at $5 per copy. It will be issued dur
ing the next winter, provided the number of
subscribers warrant tie expense. f*.
All Editors throughout the Southern States,
friendly to the diffusion of scientific know-ledge,
who will insert this notice, and forward us a
copy of their Vper, W >ll be entitled to one copy
of thp work. L. LATASTE,

CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE
LITERATURE.
TO say that this is a reading age, implies a
desire for instruction, and the means to
gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a
greed ; on the second, there is diversity both
of opinion and practice. We have newspa
pers, magazines, review-s, in fine, pamphlets of
all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have
severally their classes of readers and support
ers. And yet copious as are these means ol
intellectual supply, more are still needed. In
addition to the review’s of the day and passing
notices of books, the people in large numbers,
in all parts of our great republic crave the pos
session of the books themselves, and details,
beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress
of discovery in art and science. But though it
he 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 w-hicli prevent personal appli
cation of even messages to libraries and book
sellers, are so many causes to keep people a
w-ay 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
eflort, to obtain for his own use and that of his
favored friends or family, valuable works, com
plete, on all the branches of useful and popular
literature, and that in a form adapted to the
copifort of the reader.
The charm of variety, as far as it is coinpati
ble with morality and good taste, will be held
constantly in view in conducting the Library,
to fill the page**)!' which tliffcurrent literature
of Great Britain, in all its various departments
of biography, history, travels, novels pnd 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 of the tvork will be a reprint,
or at times a translation of entire volumes, the
cover will exhibit the miscellaneous character
ol a magazine, and consist of sketches of men
and things, and notices of novelties in literature
anil the arts throughout the civilized world.—
A full and regularsupply 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.
The resources and extensive correspondence
of the publishers are the best guarantee for the
continuance of the enterprize in which they
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
j ger to them, but has more than once obtained
] their favorable suffrages for his past literary
efforts. TERMS.
The work will be published in w-eelily num
bers, in stitched covers, e*ch number contain
ing twenty imperial octavo pages, with double,
columns, making two volumes annually, ol
more than 520 octavo pages, each volume ; and
at the expiration of every six mouths, subscri
bers will be furnished with a handsome title
page and tahle 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
p®r upon w-hicli the Library will be printed,
will be of the finest quality used for Look work,
and of a size admirably adapted for binding.—
As the type will be entirely new, and iff 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 be 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
bojp as often as convenient, and send a copy
ot their paper containing the advertisement
marked, and entitle themselves to a free ex
change Tor one year. Address
