The vending of Seeds is u business deserv

the herald and star.
11' cannot be denied that the present state ol
our country demands peculiar and well di
reeled 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, alter it has been received in
the Atlantic cite s. is praiseworthy, and should
in the end reward such persons as exert their
aluhty for the successful furtherance of this ob
ject-
The Editors and Proprietors of the Boston
Daily 1 lerald, convinced of the importance ol j
a carefully conducted press to disseminate in
formation throughout the country, some weeks
since issued the first number of the Semi
\\ ei ei i Herald and Star, which they have
found to he suitable to the wants of the inland
community, us it furnishes over one hundred
newspapers in a year, at the very low price ol
two dollars. This paper is made up from the
Daily Herald with such additional matter, in
the shape ot stories, legends, poetry, statements
"f the markets, anil such information rcspCotjiKT
sales as may he deemed advantageous to the
leonianrv of the land.
’i n ' peculiarity of the Herald and Star wilT
he found to be in the fact that while it is not
engaged in party politics, it reserves to itself
the liberty of sneaking boldly and-opcnly 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
!y exerting themselves to give strength and a
bilily 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 bv the mails.
The price is Two Dollars n year payable iu
advance ; in three months; o in six
months* $«3 atthe end of the year. The best
method to ensure the reception of the paper is
to enclose in a letter addressed to the Pro

PROSPECTUS OF
The Experiment.
IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication ol
. a paper, the updersigned 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 Experiment.”
after a trial of almost 12 months, has not failed in
recuring for the Editor, the attention and pat
sonage desired; and it is confidently believed,
in rendering 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 liis own lucu
: brations and those of correspondents, together
1 with Advertisements and judicious selections.
| It may not be inappropriate here to remark, that,
for want of room,, some of the best communica-
I tions have been excluded, and occasionally in
terestihg matter, difficult to condense within so
small a compass. With increased labor and
j expenditure, he must hope for increased re
ward ; and consequently, the subscription price
j for the ‘second volume will be One Dollar in
advance, or One Dollar and Fifty Cents, attlic
J expiration of the year. This alteration, it will
I be perceived, is not in proportion to the change
j 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.
Advertisements, as heretofore atso cents per
square for the first insertion, and 25 cents per
! square for each subsequent insertion. ,

I vance, by doing so, will not only save them*
I selves a heavy interest, but enable us, with
more alacrity and advantage, to prosecute the

PROSPECTUS
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
rpll IS is a monthly Magazine devoted chief
-I- I}’ to Literature, but occasionally find
ing room also for articles that fall within the
scope of Science ; and not professing an en
tire disdain 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 with discussions in
literature or in moral science, otherwise unob
jectionable, as to gain admittance for the sake
[ of tile more valuable matter to which they ad
here : but whenever that happens, they are in- I
i cidcntal, 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 duo 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 he 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 docs wish to discriminate.
Essays, and Tales, having in view utility
or amusement, or both— Historical sketch
es—and Reminiscences of events too minute
ior History, yet elucidating it, aad heighten
ing its interest, —may be regarded ns 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
sort, assuasive influence of Literature is need
ed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irrita
tion. V ice 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 in
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 Sol ru peculiarly requires such an a
gent. In all the Union, south of Washington,
there are hut two Literary periodicals ! North
ward of that city, there are probably at least
twenty-five or thirty ! Is this contrast justified
by tiie wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or
the actual literary taste, of the Southern peo
ple, compared with Ihose of the Nothern :
No : for in wealth, talents, and taste, ,we may
justly claim at least an equality with our bretli
-1 ren ; and a domestic institution exclusively
our own, beyond all doubt affords us, if we
choose, twice the leisure tor reading and wri
ting, which they enjoy.
It was from deep sense of this local want,
that the word SoYtiieun was engrafted on the
name of this periodical : and not with any de
sign to nourish local prejudices,or to advocate
supposed local interests. Far from an}’ such
thought, it is the Editor’s fervent wish, to see
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 i
matter thence ; and happy indeed will he deem |
himself, should his pages, by making each re- j
gion know the other better, contribute in any '
essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds j
that now threaten the peace of both, and to |
brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fa
ternal love.
The Southern Literary Messenger has]
now reached the llith No. of its third volume. I
How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered, i
is not for the Editor to say. He believes, how- j
ever, that it falls not further short of them. 1
than human weakness usually makes Practice !
fall short of Theory.
No subscription will be received foT Jess than !

rent one—or may commence with V 01. IV, the I
first number of which will be issued on the Ist!

sued the first number of the Southcvi l.it
crary Aspirant, in quarto form, medium—to be
conducted by the present Editor of the “ News
Carrier;” at which time that paper will merge,
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
hands have not. undertaken to accomplish so
desired an object as the advancement of Litera
! ture in the South, before him. To efibet which
j will be his constant and unerring aim. The
j Editor has received the assurance of assistance
j from many, upon whom he relies, with a pleas-'
j > n g confidence, that himself nor the public,
j through him, will be disappointed in their ex
pectations of its character and^uccess.
We intend that our paper shall be a faithful
| veliicle of general News. The cause of the
i South, will be its cause, and the advancement
,of her interest its chief aim and desire. Asa
j paper, it will espouse no party; the important
j attairs of Government, however, will not be
j suffered to pass unnoticed—and all sensible,
j judicious communications on this subject, pro
! vided they are free from party spirit, will re
eeive particular attention.
Persons obtaining ten responsible subscribers
to the Aspirant, will be entitled to one copy
gratis.
Terms. The Aspirant will be published ev
ery Saturday, in the city of Macon, at Two
Dollars per annum—f 125 for six mouths

TO PRINTERS.
HITL .V WM, HAGER, respectfully
• inform the Printers oi' the United States,
i to whom they have been individually known
:as established letter founders, that they have
now formed a co-partnership in said business,
and an extensive experience, they hope to be
able to give Satisfaction to all who may favor
them with their orders.
The introduction of machinery in place of
the tedions and unhealthy process of casting
type by hand , a desideratum by the European
founders, was by American ingenuity, a heavy
I 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
be carried on by the parties before named, un
der the firm of White, Hager A Cos. Their
Specimen exhibits, a complete series, from
Diamond to Sixty-four Lines Pica. The Book j
and News type being in the most modern style, i
A\ lute, linger & Cos. are Agents for the sale j
of the tainith and Bust Printing Presses, with j

PROPOSALS
Far publishing, by subscription, a work to be
entitled
Flora Georgiensis.
ITHHIS will be, both a Grammar and Diction
ftry °f Botany ; —presenting, first, Vegeta
l Physiology, and, second, a minute and ac
! curate description of every plant yet discovered
!| n Georgia, together with its medicinal or nox-
I lous properties—its English name—its emblem,
language, Hie. Such a work is much needed,
at this time, in our Southern Institutions. We
j have no text book in Botany, calculated to
J render the science attractive. Such as we
i have, are nothing more than a few disconnected
facts in Physiology, or a dry desc iption of a
few leaves, roots, flowers, &c. all tending to
excite disgust rather than taste. Students
1 should, as soon as possible, be inducted into the
! practical part of the science— r 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, by
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 love 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
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 pro’per-
I ly acknowledged.
j 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 7fio 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 Southej-n 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
ofthework. L. LATASTE;

CAREY'S LIBRARY OF CHOICE
LITERATURE.
TO say that this is a reading age, implies a
desire lbr instruction, and }he means to
gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a
of opinion and practice. We have newspa
pers, magazines, reviews, 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 oi
intellectual supply, more are still needed. In
addition to the reviews 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
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 on-n 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
comfort of the reader.
Hie charm of variety, as far as it is compati
ble with morality and good taste, will be held
constantly in view in conducting the Library,
to fill the pages of which tile 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 ol 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.
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
ger to them, but has more than once obtained
their favorable suffrages for his past literary
efforts. TERMS.
! Tile work will be published in weekly nuw.
j bers, in stitched covers, each number contain
ing twenty imperial octavo pages, with double
' columns, making two volumes annually, oh
J more than 520 octavo pages, each volume ; and,
‘ at the expiration of every six months, subscri-
I bers will be furnished with a handsome title
! page and table of contents. The whole amount
i of matter furnished in a single year, will be e
| <pial to more than forty volumes of the coni
mon sized English duodecimo books. The pa
j 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 wiii bd entirely new, and of a neat
appearance, each volume when bound, will
turnish a handsome as well as valuable, and
not cumbrous, addition.to the libraries of those
who patronize the work.
The price of the Lihrary will be Five Dollars
per annum, payable in advance.
A commission of 20 per ceut. will be allowed
to agents; and any agent or postmaster, fur
nishing five subscribers. and remitting the a
uiount of subscription, shall be entitled to the
commission of 20 per cent, or a copy of the
work for one year.

pectus is forwarded, will please insert the a
hove as often as convenient, and send a copy
of their paper containing the advertisement
marked, and entitle themselves to a free ex
change for one year. Address
