To Bnilders A* Contractors THROUGHOUT GEORGIA. 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. JOHN SPRINGER. DAVID F. WILSON. 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.

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.

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 ers,'THREE DOLLARS.

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 any part of the L niou and will be furnished in , quantities to suit purchasers, and at very mod- I urate rate*.

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 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. Boston, 1837. 11*11 hiic .

Oct 4, 1037. 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. Washington, Ga., July 27, 1837, [LpPapers publishing the above, will confer a favor. 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.

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.

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. which will be his constant and unerring aim. The Editor lias received the assurance of assistance from many, upon whom lie'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.

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.

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.
