HAVING received a number of communi
cations from individuals, making-enquir
ies respecting my Brick Machine, invented by
Calvin Waterman, and now in successful ope
ration in this place, I take Jus method of an
swering them — l invite all who fee 1 disposed
to purchase rights, to coir.e ami see the opera
tion of the machine, and if there be any one
tvlio says he is disappointed in his expectations,
I bind myself to pay the expenses of his trip
I do not expect to sell a right to any one w ith
out their first having seen the machine; hut in
order to afford an idea of its value, I annex the
following certificates, one of them signed by
two of tile most experienced brick masons in
the Southern States. In my absence from
Macon, the editors of the Messenger w ill act
as niv authorized agents.

We having witnessed the performance of Mr
T. L. Smith’s new Briak 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 anil 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
out twenty-three thousand six hundred per day.
It requires six boys to bear oil’, and four to sand
the moulds, &c.—together with four grown
men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make the above named quantity of the most
beautiful brick per day.

1 have witnessed the performance of Mr T.
1,. Smith's new Brick-making Machine, just
pul into operation in this place : anil have no
hesitation in pronouncing it a great and useful
improvement on any other method of brick
making 1 have ever seen, both ns to the qualify
of the brick and expedition in making. By re
quest 1 timed the machine for half an hour;
the result of that trial shows that with 14 hands
the machine will turn out of beautiful and well

one of the great, objects of “VValdie’s Library,”
‘Ho make good reading cheaper, and to bring
Literature to every man’s door.” This object
lias been accomplished ; we have given to
books wings, and they have flown to the up
permost parts of our vast continent, carrying
society to the secluded, occupation to the lite- |

further to reduce prices, and render the access |
to a literary banquet, more than two fold hi - j
cessible; we gave, and shall continue to give, j
in the quarto library, a volume weekly for two
cents a day; we now propose to give a volume, !
in the same period, for less than Jane eents a !
week, and to add, as a piquant seasoning to tlie
dish, a few columns of shorter literary matters,
and a summary of the news und events id the
day. We know, by experience and calcula
tion, that we can go still further in the matter
of reduction, and 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
Weekly visits, and to be issued in a form tor

Novels, Tales, Voyages. Travels, Ac., select ill
their character, joined with reading, such ns
should till a weekly newspaper. By this meth
od, we hope to areninplish a great good; to en
liven and enlighten the family circle, and to
give to it, at at expense which shall be no con
sideration to any, a mass of reading, that, in
book form, would alarm tlie pockets of the pru
dent, and to do it in a manner that the most
sceptical shall acknowledge *• the power ot
concentration can no farther go. No book,
which appears in Wnldie’s Quarto Library, will

The vending of Seeds is a business deserv

MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS.
50.000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry
or Morus mtdticaulis. for sale. Ot all the va
rieties of Mulberries t'or silk, this appears most
eminently entitled to preference, and since its
introduction into France seems destined to re
place every where the common White Mulber
ry for the nourishment of silk worms, such is
its superiority over all others. The tree is
beautiful 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
ill full vigor, sufficient to support an immense
number of silk worms. The raising of silk is
as easy as the raising of wheat and much loss
laborious. For a number of years past it has
been a regular and profitable employment of
many oftlie farmers ot Connecticut,during the
early part of the summer, and is emphatically
a business of tlie fanner—ot the cottage—a
simple labor, in which females and children
who do not essentially aid in supporting a fam
ily may turn tin-1 r services to profit. Every
family of the most limited means can raise the
mulberry and produce cocoons, and fora trifle
can procure a pamphlet which will give them
the necessary information of reeling, &c. The
plants can be packed so as to be transported to
any part of the Union and will be furnished in
quantities to suit purchasers, and at very mod
erate rates. Nov. 16

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 the features of the various topics which
are now agitating the various portions of the I
national confederacy. To supply, at a low
price, the inland towns with information, ut a
little delay only, after it has been received in
the Atlantic cities, is praiseworthy, and should
in the end reward such persons us exert their
ability for the successful furtherance of this ob
ject.
The Editors and Proprietors of the Boston
Daily Herald, convinced of the importance ol
a carefully conducted press to disseminate in
| formation throughout the country, some weeks
since issued the first number of the Semi
Weekly Herald and Star, which they have
found to be suitable to the wants of the inland
community, as it furnishes over one hundred
newspapers in a year, at the very lotv price ol
' two dollars. This paper is made up from the
1 Daily Herald with such additional matter, in
i the shape of stories, legends, poetry, statements
■ of the markets, and such information respecting
sales as may be deemed advantageous to the
I yeomanry of the land.
The peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
ibe found to be iu the fact that while it is not
engaged in party politics, it reserves to itselt
i the liberty of speaking boldly and openly on
j every subject which concerns the weal of the
■ whole country—and summons to aid, besides
i the constant supervision of the Editors, valua
ble assistants, who are industriously and hour
ly exerting themselves to give strength and a
j 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
1 transmission by the mails.
The price is Two Dollars a year payable in
advance ; ,-*2,25 in three months; 5,1*..">0 in six
mouths; $3 at the end of the year. The best
method to ensure the reception of the paper is
1 to enclose 5;” in a letter addressed to the Pro

PROSPECTUS OF
The Experiment.
IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication oi
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 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 thej contributed towards
its support. Gratified for the encouragement
manifested, desirous of making lus 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 hereto 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 second 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
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 tlie first insertion, and 25 cents per

PROSPECTUS
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
rilH IS is a monthly Magazine devoted cliief-
JL ly 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 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 orjinteresting 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 docs wish to discriminate.
Essays, and Tales, having in view utility
nr amusement, or both— Historical sketch
es—and Hemin iscr.NcES 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, assuasive 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
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 South 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 the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or
the actual literary taste, of the Southern peo
ple, compared with those of the Nothern ?
No : for in wealth, talents, and taste, we may
justly claim at least an (quality with our breth
ren ; and a domestic institution exclusively
our own.beyond all doubt atlords us, if we
choose, twice the leisure for reading and wri
j ting, which they enjoy.
It was from deep sense of this local want,
' that the word Southern was engrafted on the
j name of this periodical : and not with any de
j sign to nourish local prejudices,or to advocate
supposed local interests. Far from any sucli
thought, it is the Editor's fervent wish, to see
the North and South bound endearingly togeth
er forever, in the silken bands ot mutual kind
ness and affection. Far from mediating hostil
ity to the North, he has already drawn, and he
hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest
matter thence : and happy indeed will he deem
j himself, should his pages, by making each re
gion know the other tietter, 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 of fa
j tcrnal love.
The Southern Literacy Messenger has
! now readied the lltth No. of its third volume,
i How far il lias acted out the ideas here uttered,
!is not for the Editor to say. lie believes, how
j ever, that it falls not further short of them,
than human weakness usually 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 Vol. IV, the
first number of which will be issued on the Ist
January, I*^3^.—The price is $5 per Volume,
which must be 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
attended to, unless accninpained with the price
of subscription. THOMAS W. WHITE.

ger*. Believing that it would be highly accep
table to our numerous patrons, scattered aa they

hands of first rate artists—we have made ar
rangements to bring out a complete series.—
They will embrace a correct anc well executed

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Southern Literary Aspirant.
ON the first of September next, will be is
sued the first number of the Southern Lit
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. Toeffect which
will be his constant and unerring aim. The
Editor has received the assurance of assistance
from many, upon whom he 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.
We intend that our paper shall be a faithful
vehicle of general News. The cause of the
South, will be its cause, and the advancement
of her interest its chief aim and desire. Asa

E WHITE JkWM. HAGER, 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
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
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 & Cos. Their
Specimen exhibits, a complete series, from
Diamond to Sifty-four Lines Pica. The Book

CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE
LITERATURE.
PTIO 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
or 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, di»-
tance from the emporium of literature, engross
mg occupations which prevent personal appfi.
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 ia 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
enort, 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 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 tlie 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 num
bers, in stitched covers, each number contain
ing twenty imperial octavo pages, with doublo
columns, making two volumes annually, of
more than 520 octavo pages, each volume ; and
at the expiration of every six months, subscri
bers will be furnished with a handsome title
page and table 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
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, 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
niount 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 work lo be
entitled
Flora Cleorgiensis.
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—its English name—its emblem,
language, &c. 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 we
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
shoulJ, as soon as possible, be inducted into the
practical part of tlie 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. 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 lore 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, tlieir daily rambles, &c. Finally, it
I will he 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 ill 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 Editora throughout the Southern States,
friendly to the diffusion of scientific knowledge,
who will insert this notice, aad forward us a
copy of their paper, will be eatitled to one copy
of the work. * L. LATASTE,
