Cuadeir, Camde» C#., G». o<t 4, 1&37. 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. , [hJ J Those who can conveniently pay in ad- 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 work. F. J. ROBINSON. Washington; Ga., July 27, 1837. Qlpl’apeyymblishing the above, will confer a favor. 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 ! a Volume, and must either begin with the eur- j rent one—or may commence with V 01. IV, the I first number of which will be issued on the Ist! January, l«-3S.—The price is §>s per Volume, which most In paid in all cases at the time of subscribing. This is particularly adverted to now, to avoid misapprehension, or future mis- j understanding—as uo order will hereafter be ] attended to. unless accompanied with the price of subscription.

Where it may be expedient we will accompany the engrav ings with such descriptions of sire and facts of history, as may be of interest. We shall begin the publication as soon Its we get several engravings from the hands of the artists, who arc 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. The views will also appear regularly in the PHILADELPHIA MIRROR.

ON the first of September next, will be is 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 payable in advance. No subscription received for a less period.

IT ‘ I 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.

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. Editors of newspapers, to whom this pros 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.
