To Riiililrni A- C ontractors THROUGHOUT GEORGIA. 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. } T 1,. SMITH. 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. JOHN SPRINGER, DAVIIJ F. WILSON. Macon, ApriM4, 18117. 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 tempered brick, 2,3(1* in one hour, or about 40 to the minute.

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 BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.

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 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 prietors. HARRINGTON A CO. Boston, 1837. fublic •Voticc.

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 square for each subsequent insertion. [LrThose 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. [UPPapers publishing the above, will confer a favor. 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. Richmond, Va. Oct. 1537. Job Piiiling Neatly executed at thw Office. The Lions of Philadelphia. THE architectural beauty of many of ilia PUBLIC BUILDINGS of thiscity is pro verbial.

Believing that it would be highly accep table to our numerous patrons, scattered aa they are from the Lakes to the Ocean, to be present ed with Splkrmd Illustrations, from tlie hands of first rate artists—we have made ar rangements to bring out a complete series.— They will embrace a correct anc well executed new of all the PUBLIC EDIFICES, of our city and vicinity, forming in the end a collec tion, that may well be termed the LIONS OF PHILADELPHIA, and which will be present ed to our patrons, without trenching upon the usual variety of our columns. Where it may be expedient we will accompany the engrav ings with such descriptions of size and facts of history, as may be of interest. 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 cially increase ouf 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. ET Asa trifling expression of our regard, we shall print the whole series, at their completion, upon fine white paper, in uniform style—form ing a beautiful collection of Views, and present them to such of our country brethren, as may oblige us by an insertion of this notice. 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 paper, it will espouse no party ; the important affairs of Government, however, will not be suffered to pass unnoticed—and all sensible, judicious communications on this subject, pro vided they are free from party spirit, .will re ceive 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—sl 25 for six months payable in advance. No subscription received for a less period.

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.

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.
