To Rnilrirrs X Contractors THROUGHOUT GEORGIA. 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. JOHN SPRINGKR. DAVID F. WILSON. 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.

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 prieters. HARRINGTON tv CO.

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. [L? 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. Washington, Ga.. July 27, 1757. Papers publishing the above, will confer a favor. PROSPECTUS OK Til E SOUTHERN LITER Alt V MESSENGER. rpnis is a monthly Magazine devoted eliief .l lv to Liter \ti re, 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 lias been, as it will continue to be, in the main, oiioinat. l’artij Polities and controversial Theology. 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. limn a periodical, on the plan of the Messenger; it - that plan be but carried out in practice i The Soi mi peculiarly requires sueh an a i gent. In all the Union, south of Washington, i there are hut two Literary periodicals ! North 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. The Sorniir.N Literauy Messenger lias J now reached (lie lfitli No. of its third volume, i How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered, is not lor the Editor to sav. He believes, how ever. that it falls not further short of them, than human weakness usually makes Practice fall short of Theory. No subscription will he received for less than i a Volume, and must either begin with the cur rent one—or may commence with Yol.

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.

Aug 17 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 E. L. CARY A A. IIART, Philadelphia. 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.
