THROUGHOUT GEORGIA.
HAVING received a number of communi
cations from individuals, making enquir
es respecting my Brick Machine, invented by
Galvin Waterman, and now in successful ope
ration in this place, I take 'his method of an
swering them—l invite all who feel disposed
to purchase rights, to coir.e anijl see the opera
tion of the machine, and if there be any one
who says he is disappointed in his expectations,
I bind myself to pay the expenses ot iiis trip.
I 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, I annex the
following certificates, one of them signed by
two of th<* most experienced brick masons in
the Southern States. In my absence lroin
Macon, the editors of the Messenger will act
as mv authorized agents.
T. L. SMITH.
We 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 rts besj
recommendation. We timed it, and find that
with new moulds and inexperienced hands, it
made at the rate of two thousand three liund
red and sixty-eight brick per hour. By mould
ing ten hours in a day, it would therefore turn
< ut twenty-three thousand six hundred per day*.
It requires six boys to bear off. a id four to sand
the moulds, Ac.—together with four grown
men. Thus fourteen hands art sulficient to
make the above named quantity ol the most
beautiful brick per day.

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 ofthe press to make
known the features ofthe various topics which
are now agitating tile 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 tlie end reward such persons as exert their
ability for the successful furtherance of this ob
j«‘VV"
Tlie Editors and Proprietors of the Boston
Dail\ I lerald, convinced of the importance ol
a carefully conducted press to disseminate in
formation throughout the country, some weeks
since issued the lirst muiibyr of the Skmi
\Vi;i ki.i lli i; ii.n ami Star, which they have
found t> he suit aide to the wants of the 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
Daily I lerald with such additional matter, in
the shape of stories, legends, poetry, statements
of the markets, and such informal ion respecting
sales as may be deemed advantageous to the
yeomanry ot the land.
The peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
he found to he in the fact that while it is not
engaged in party polities, it reserves to itselt
the liberty of speaking boldly and openly on
every subject which concerns the weal of the
whoie 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

The Herald and Star is published every Tries
day and Friday morning, and mailed on the
night previous m order to ensure its speedy
transmission by the mails.
The price i< Two Dollars a year payable in
advance; jji2.*gs in three months; 8:2.50 in six

PROSPECTUS OF
Tlic Experiment.
IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication ol
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 Experiment,”
after a trial of almost I*J mouths, lias 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
j lent for the pittance they contributed towards
its support. Gratified for the encouragement
, manifested, desirous of making his little paper
j worthy the patronage of an enlightened and
l generous public, the subscriber has determined
1 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 w ant of room, sonje 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- j
ward ; and consequently, the subscription price !
,or the second volume will be One Dollar in ;
and vance, or One Dollar and Fifty Cents, at the ;
expiration of the year. This alteration, it w ill
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.
Advertisements, as heretofore at 50 cents per
square for the first insertion, and <ls cents per
square for each subsequent insertion.
U3 Those 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 TH K
; SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
rpillS is a monthly Magazine devoted cliief
_L ly to Literati re, but occasionally find
ing room also for articles that tall within the
scope of Science ; and not professing an eu- |
tire disdain of tasteful selections, tlmUgh 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 j
are sometimes so blended with discussions in
literature or in moral science, otherwise unob- j
I jectionable, as to gain admittance for the sake i
| of the more valuable matter to which they ad- j
here : but whenever that happens, they are in
\ culrntal, only ; not primary. Tliey* 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 tliey should have a threefold
tendency—to convey, in a condensed form,
such valuable truths orjinteresting incidents as
arc 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 tlieir variety anil multitude dis
tract and overwhelm every undiscriminating
student, impartial criticism, governed by
I the views just mentioned, is one of the most
inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to
him who docs icisli to discriminate.
I Essays, and Tales, having in view utility
or amusement, or both—Historical skktcii
j K s—and Reminiscences of events too minute
| for History, yet elucidating it, aad heighten
! ing its interest, —may he 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 ol our coun
' try.
| The times appear, for several reasons, to de
| mand such a work—and not one alone, but
I many. The public mind is feverish and irri
tated still, from recent political strifes ; —The
soft, assuasive influence of Literature is need
led, to allay that fever, and soothe that irrita-
I tion. Yiee and folly* are rioting abroad . —They
should be driven by indignant rebuke, or lash
ed bv ridicule, into their fitting haunts. Igno
rance lords it over au immense proportion of
our people : Every spring should be set in
motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to in
crease tlieir number ; so that the great enemy
of popular government may no longer brood,
like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of
j our country. And to accomplish all these ends,
| what more powerful agent can be employed,
j than a periodical, on the plan ot tin* Messenger;
j if that plan he but carried out in practice :
\ The Bot ru peculiarly requires such an a
, gent. In ail the Union, south of Washington,
there are hut two Literary periodicals I North
1 ward of that city', there are probably at least
twenty-five or thirty ! Is tills contrast justified
by the wi alth, the leisure, the native talent, or
the actual literary taste, of the Southern peo
. pie. compared with those of the Not hern .**
i No : for iii wealth, talents, and taste, we may
i justly claim at least an equality with our breth
ren ; and a domestic institution exclusively
; our own. beyond all doubt atlords us, it we
1 choose, twice the leisure for reading and wri
j ting, which they enjoy.
1 It was from deep sense of this local want,
that the word Sottiikkn was engrafted on the
name of this periodical ; and not with any de
i sign to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate
supposed local interests. Far from any* such
i thought, it is tin* 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 Iwstil
j ity to the North, he has already drawn, and he
hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest
matter thence : and happy indeed will lie deem
! himself, should his pages, by* making eacl| re
gion know the other better, contribute in any
essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds
( liiat nmv threaten the peace of both, and to
j brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fa
i ternal love.
The Soi tiiern Literary Messenger has
now readied the lffth No. of its third volume.
How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered,
is not for the Editor to say. He believes, how
ever. that it falls not further short of them,
, than human weakness usutflly makes Practice
fall short of Theory.
No subscription will be received for less than
| a Volume, and must either begin with the cur
rent one—or may commence with 5 01. IV, the
first number of which will be issued on the Ist
January, hfflS.— The price is £5 per Yoluine,
icliirh must he paid in all rases at the time oj
. subscribing. This is particularly adverted to
I now, to avoid misapprehension, or future mis
understanding—as no order will hereafter be
i attended to, unless accompanied with the price
of subscription. THOMAS W. WHITE.

ed to our patrons, without trenching upon the
usual variety of our columns. Where it may
be expedient w£ will accompany the engrav

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

supply those who may wish to obtain and pre
serve these views.
The views will also appear regularly in the
PHILADELPHIA MIRROR.''
OjAs a'trifling expression of our regard, we
shall print tin* whole series, at their completion,
upon line white paper, in uniform style—form
itig a beautiful collection of Views, and present
them to such of our country brethren, as may
oblige us by an insertion of this notice.

ture in the South, before him. To effect which
will be his constant and unerring aim. The
Editor has received the assurance of assistance
from man}*, upon whom he relies, with a pleas

through him, will be disappointed in their ex
pectations of its character and success.

ot her interest its chief aim and desire. Asa

aflairs of Government, however, will not be
suffered to pass unnoticed—and all sensible,
judicious communications on this subject, pro

Eli HITE W W.M. IIAGER. respectfully
» inform the Printers of the United States,
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

The introduction of machinery in place of
the tedious and unhealthy process of casting

j expenditure of time and money on the part of

i 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

CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE
LITERATURE.
rpo say that this is a reading a ge , implies a
desire for instruction, and the means to
gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a
gK-ed ; on the second, there is diversity both
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 ol
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 own use and that of his
lavored 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.
The 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 the current literature
of Great Britain, in all its various departments
of biography, history, travels, novels and poe
try, shall he 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 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.
The work will be published in weekly mini
bers, in stitched covers, each 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 months, subscri
bers will he furnished with a handsome title
page and table of contents. The whole amount
of matter furnished in a single year, will be i*
qual to more than forty volumes of the com
mon sized English duodecimo books. The pa
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 will be entirely new, and of a neat
appearance, each volume when bound, will
furnish a handsome as well as valuable, ami
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
hove as often as convenient, and send a copy
ot their paper containing the advertisement
marked, and entitle themselves to a free ex
change for one year. Address

PROPOSALS
For publishing, by subscription, a ivork to be
entitled
Flora hi ear st icasi s.
THIS will be, both a Grammar and Diction
ary ot 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—its English name—its emblem,
language, Ac. Such a work is much needed,
at this time, in our Southern Institutions. We
have no text book in Botany, calculated to
render the science attractive. Such as avc
have, are nothing more than a few disconnected
facts in Physiology, or a dry desc iption of a
few leaves, roots, flowers, Ac. all tending to
excite disgust rather than taste. Students
should, as soon as possible, be inducted into 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 profound botanist, made so, by
delving for months over pages treating of sap,
alburnum, cambium, and the like. Tliis 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 lore for the science be
ing thus implanted, it must and trill 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 iji their
travels, their daily rambles, Ac. 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 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 700 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 Southern 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
of the work. L. LATASTE,
