HAVING received a nviinber 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 Ibis method of an
swering them—l invite all who feel disposed
to purchase rights, to come and 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 of his trip.
1 do not expert 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, 1 annex the
following certificates, one of them signed by
two of the most experienced brick masons in
the Southern States. In my absence from
Macon, the editors of the Messenger will act
os my authorized agents.
T L. SMITH.
We having witnessed the performance of Mr
T. 1,. Smith s new Brick Machine, invented by
Calvin Waterman, now in operation in tins
place, take pleasure in recommending it to the
public. The fact of its performance is its best
recommendation. We timed it, and find that
with new moulds and inexperienced hands, it
made at the rate of two thousand three blind
red and sixty-eight brick per hour. Uv 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 saml
the moulds, «.Vc.—together with four grown
tnen. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient, to
make the above named quantity of the most
beautiful brick per day.

Macon, April 14, 1>37.
I have witnessed the performance of Mr T.
L. Smith's new Brick-making Machine, just
put into operation in this place: and have no
hesitation in pronouncing it a great and useful
improvement on anv other method of brick
making I have ever seen, both as to the quality
of the brick and expedition in making. Jiv re
quest 1 timed the machine for half an hour:
the result of that trial shows that with 1 1 hands
the machine will turn out of beautiful and well
tempered brick, 2.3117 in one hour, or about It!
to the minute. JNO. K L TJIK It It) 11!).

THE iIERA LI) A N1) STAR.
IT cannot lit- denied that the present state ol
. our country demands peculiar and well di
routed 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 u low
price, the inland towns with information, at a
little delay only, alter it has been received in
the Atlantic eit.es, is praiseworthy, and should
in tii.- end reward such persons as exert their
ability for the successful furtherance of this üb
jocl.'
The Editors and Proprietors of the Boston i
Daily Herald, convinced of the importance oi
a carefully conducted press to disseminate ill- i
formation throughout the country, some weeks i
since issued the first number of the Semi j
Weekly lli.ua i.n vni) Star, which they have ,
found to he suitable to the wants of the inland
community, as it furnishes over one hundred
newspapers in a year, at the very low price oi
two dollars. This paper is made up from the
Daily Herald with sueh additional matter, in
the shape of stories, legends’, poetry, statements
of t lie markets, and such information respecting |
sales as may he deemed advantageous to the
yeomanry of the land.
The peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
be found to he in tlie fact that while it is not
engaged in party polities, it reserves to itself
the liberty of speaking boldly and openly on
every subject which concerns the weal of the
whole country—and summons to aid, besides
tin* constant supervision of the Editors, valua
ble assistants, wlm are industriously and hour
ly exerting themselves to give strength and a
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
transmission by the mails.
The price is Two Dollars a year payable in
advance ; .fcJ.'Jo in three months; jjg.hil in six
months; 03 at the 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 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 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 lias 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.
1 1 may not be inappropriate here to remark, that,
for w ant 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 Filly Cents, at the
expiration of the year. This alteration, it will
he perceived, is not in proportion to the change
of size in the paper; tin- tunes being limit, 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.

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.

as far as possible,are zealously excluded. They
ar-- 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 : hut whenever that happens, they are in
cidental, only ; not jirimanj. 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 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 be burned. In this age of publica
tions that by their variety and multitude dis
tract and overwhelm every undiseriminating
student, impartial criticism, governed-by
the views just mentioned, is one of the most
inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to
him who does icish to discriminate.
Essays, and Tales, having in view utility
or amusement, or both— Historical sketch
es—and Reminiscences 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, hut
many. The public mind is feverish and irri
tated still, from recent political strifes : —The
soft, assiiasive iutluencc 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 be employed.

The Soi mi peculiarly requires sueh an a

i ward of that city, there are probably at least
! twenty-live or thirty 1 Is this contrast justified
i by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or
j the actual literary taste, of the Southern pco
, pie, compared with those of the Nothern :
No : for in wealth, talents, and taste, we may
j justly claim at least an ii/ualitij with our liretli
i rCli ; and a domestic institution exclusively
| our own.beyond all doubt affords iis.il we
| choose, twice the leisure for reading and wri
! ting, which they enjoy.
j It was from deep sense of this local want,
that the word Sot tiikkn 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 any such
I thought, it is the Editor's fervent wish, to see
! til'* North and South hound endearingly togeth
er forever, in the silken hands of mutual kind
ness and affection. Far from mediating hostil
j ill/ 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
I himself, should his pages, by making each re
gion know the other better, 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 la
| ternal love.

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 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.
D 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 I.it

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
hrin 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 effect which
will lie 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.
H e intend that our paper shall be a faithful
vehicle of general News. The cause of the
South, will be its cause, and the advancement
ol 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.
I‘ersons obtaining ten responsible subscribers
to the ,‘lsjiirunt, will be entitled to one copy
gratis.

I CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE
LITERATURE.
| rpo gay that this is a reading age, implies a
i .. f ieß ! re for ln *truction, and the means to
gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a
j greed ; on the second, there is diversity both
;of op, mon 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 tlie emporium of literature, engross
ing occupations which prevent personal appli
cation of even messages to libraries and book
sellers, are so many causes to keep people al
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
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.
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 lor publication. \\ hen 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 ot the literary, month
ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain
am! Ireland, in addition to home periodicals of
a similar character, cannot fail to provide am
pie 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 satisli
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.
Ihe work will be published in weekly num
hers, in stitched covers, each number contain
ing twenty imperial octavo pages, with double
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 tlie 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 to be
entitled
Flora (xcorgiatsis.
Tins will be, both a Grammar and Diction
ary of Botany ; —presenting, first, Vegeta
i ble Physiology, and, second, a minute and ac
j curate description of every plant yet discovered
j in Georgia, together with its medicinal or nox
! ious properties—its English name—its emblem,
language, cYe. Such a work is much needed,
at this time, in our Southern Institutions. We
j have uo text book in Botany, calculated to
i render the science attractive. Such as we
have, are nothing more than a few disconnected
tacts in Physiology, or a dry dose iption of a
| few leaves, roots, flowers, &c. all tending to
I 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
j er known a profound botanist, made so, by
j 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 Linncan system, the method
of analysing flowers, and, proceed next, to the
examining, collecting and arranging of them
into an herbarium. A tore for tlie science be
ing thus implanted, it must and trill increase,
| and urge them on to further and further investi
-1 gations.
We intend that our work shall be, at once, a?
text book lor schools—a pleasing companion
tor ladies in the boudoir and saloon—a useful
triend 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 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 he furnished to subscribers, in
boards, at 05 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,
