BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 15, 1838.
To merchants, Agriculturists
AND GARDENERS.
GR. GARRETSON, has removed his
• wholesale and retail Agricultural and
Garden Seed Wharehouse, to Flushing, L. 1.,
New York, where he intends dealing exten
sively in the above business, and will be at all
times enabled to furnish dealers and others with
every article in his line of business. And as
the greater part of his stock of Seeds is raised
under his personal attention or direction, or
where it is necessary to import from Europe,
they are procured from the most respectable
Seed establishments there, and their qualities
being tested to his own satisfaction, their accu
racy and vitality are expressly warranted.
The vending of Seeds is a business deserv
ing much greater attention from the mercan
tile community than is at present bestowed up
on it. There is scarcely a farmer or planter
who would not purchase an assortment of su
perior Garden Seeds if they could procure them
easily. And as they yield a handsome profit,
some explanations may be requisite in regard to
making sales, Ac. They are usually supplied
by the pound or bushel, and will afford a profit
oflOO per cent, or more, at the New York re
tail prices. For convenience they can be neat
ly papered and labelled and assorted into boxes
(or put up in strong papers, thereby saving the
expense of box) each suitable for a family gar
den, which will be supplied at from $1 to $25
—the latter being sufficient to crop a garden
of one acre. Or they can be put into 6 1-4 and
12 1-2 cent papers, neatly labelled, and assort
ed suitable for a retail dealer, each of which by
the quantity will be charged so as to allow a
profit of 80 per cent, on the New York retail
prices. Any one wishing to engage in the
vending of seeds, and not having experience,
by addressing the proprietor will have the ne
cessary information given, and they may feel
confident they will be served with none but ar
ticles of the very best quality.
The Proprietor has further to state, that he
is enabled to furnish all kinds of Books on Ag
riculture, Horticulture, Floriculture, Aboricul
ture, Rural Economy, Ac. Ac. Also, Agri
cultural Implements ofllusbandry and Garden
Tools of every description. Also, Fruit and
Ornamental Trees and Herbaceous Flowering
Plants, Roses and Green House Plants of a very
great variety; all of which can be packed so
as to be transported to any part of the United
States, West Indies or elsewhere. Great at
tention has been paid to obtaining both from
foreign countries and at home, the finest agri
cultural seeds, all of which can be furnished in
large quantities, and where the purchase is
made for cash a discount will he allowed. A
liberal credit will be given where a good under
standing is established. There will be no dif
ficulty in arranging this point to mutual con
venience, and on this, and every other subject,
the suggestions of correspondents will receive
the fuilest consideration.
MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS.
50,000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry
or Mur us multicauiis, for sale. Os all the va
rieties of Mulberries for 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
in 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 less
laborious. For a number of years past it has
been a regular and profitable employment of
many ofthe farmers ofConnecticut, during the
early part of the summer, and is emphatically
a business of the farmer—of the cottage—a
simple labor, in which females and children
who do not essentially aid in supporting a fam
ily may turn their services to profit. Every
family of the most limited means can raise the
mulberry and produce cocoons, and for a trifle
can procure a pamphlet which will give them
the necessary information of reeling, Ac. The
plants can be packed so as to be transported to
any part ofthe Uniou and will be furnished in
quantities to suit purchasers, and at very mod
erate rates. Nov. 16
PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Southern Literary Aspirant.
ON the first of September next, will be is
sued the first number of the Southern Lit
eranj Aspirant, in quarto form, medium—to be
conducted by the present Editor of the 44 News
Carrier;” at which time that paper will merge
into the former.
Sucli 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. To effect 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.
W'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
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 rej
e-eive 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.
Advertisements will be inserted at the usual
rates.
Letters on business must be post paid to in
sure attention.

LITERARY OMNIBUS
Novel and Important Literary Enterprizc!
Novels, Tales, Biography, Voyages, Travels,
Reviews, and the Ncics of the Day. It was
one of the great objects of 44 Waldie’s Library,”
4< to make good reading cheaper, and to bring
Literature to every man's door.” This object
has 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
rary, information to all. We now propose still
further to reduce prices, and render the access
to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac
cessible ; we gave, and shall continue to give,
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 four rents a
week, and to add. piquant seasoning to the
dish, a few coin nos shorter literary matters,
ajid a summu. ot the news and events ofthe
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 ns ever
so great a favorite, will continue to make its j
weekly visits, and to be issued in a form for j
binding and preservation, and its price and j
form will remain the same. But we shall, in
the first week of January, 1837, issue a huge
sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers of
America, but on very superior paper, also,fil
ed with hooks, of the newest and most entertain
ing, though, in their several departments of
Novels, Tales, Voyages,Travels, Ac., select in
their character, joined with reading, such as
should fill a weekly newspaper. Bp - this meth
od, we hope to accomplish 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 the pockets of the pru
dent, and to do it in a manner that the most
sceptical shall acknowledge 44 the power of
concentration can no farther go.” No hook,
which appears in Waldie’s Quarto Library, will
be published in the Omnibus, which will be an
entirely distinct periodical.
Terms. Waldie's Literary Omnibus, will
be issued every Friday morning, printed on pa
per of a quality superior to any other weekly
sheet, and of the largest size. It will contain,
Ist. Books, the newest and the best that can
be procured, equal every week, to a London
duodecimo volume, embracing Novels, Travels,
Memoirs, Ac., and only chargeable with News
paper postage.
2d. Literary reviews, tales, sketches, notices
of books, and information from “the world of
letters,” of every description.
3d. The news of the week, concentrated into
a small compass, but in a sufficient amount to
embrace a knowledge of the principal events,
political and miscellaneous, of Europe and A
merica
The price will be TWO DOLLARS to clubs
of five subscribers, where the paper is forward
ed to one address. The clubs of two individ
uals, FIVE DOLLARS ; single mail subscrib
ers, THREE DOLLARS, The discount on
uncurrent money will be charged to the remit
ter; the low price and superior paper, absolute
ly prohibit paying a discount.
JJ On no condition will a copy ever be sent,
until the payment is received in advance.
As the arrangements for the prosecution of
this great literary undertaking, are all made,
and the proprietor has redeemed all his pledges
to a generous public for many years, no fear of
non-fulfilment of the contract can be felt. The
Omnibus will be regularly issued, and will
contain, in a year, reading matter equal in a
mount to two volumes of Rees' Cyclopedia, for
the small sum mentioned above. Address (post
paid,) ADAM WALDIE.

CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE
LITERATURE.
TO 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
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 an* these means ol
intellectual supply, more are still needed. In
addition to tin* reviews of the day and passing
notices of hooks, 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, 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
pletion 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 coinpati
hie 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 w ill be had to
the literary stores of Continental Europe, and
translations made from French, Italian or Ger
man, as the case may he.
Whilst the body of the work willbe 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 ofthe 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
afe 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 he 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 he published in weekly mini
hers, 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 e
qual to more than forty volumes of the com
mon sized English duodecimo hooks. The pa
per upon which the Library will he printed,
will he of the finest quality used for hook work,
and of a size admirably adapted for binding.—
As tin* type will he entirely new, and of a neat
appearance, each volume when hound, will
furnish a handsome as well as valuable, and
not cumbrous, addition to the libraries of those
who patronize the work.
The price ofthe Library will be Five Dollars
per annum, payable in advance.
A commission of 2!) per cent, will be allowed
to agents; and any agent or postmaster, fur
nishing five subscribers, and renfitting the a
mount of subscription, shall he entitled to the
commission of 20 per cent, or a copy of the
work for one year.

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

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 he

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 accoin
plished. Extensive use of the machine-cast
letter, has fully tested and established its su
periority in every particular, over those cast
by the old process.

A SEA-STORM.
BV T. 9. FAY.
A tornado at sea ! It struck us in the after
noon abruptly as we were speeding on luckily
with all our sails close reefed, through a warm
but gloomy rain, at nine knots. We were on
the edge of the Gulf Stream, and took the full
benefit of what the sailors called the butt-end
of a north-wester. The rise of tliL whirl
wind was instantaneous. It had been blow
ing pretty stiff all day, when suddenly I saw
the fore and main top-sail carrrifed away, and
a wave burst into the round-house and rolled
backward and forward, there leaving us all
nearly kneo-deep in water. In an instant the
wind was—not blowing—but bursting over the
vessel m a rapid series of explosions, each one
like water forced violently from the spout of
an engine. The sea and air were foam to the
topmast. The ship lying over low, her gun
wale under water, her deck scattered with
pieces of broken bulwarks and great fragments
of sails, ropes, spars, and entire blocks flying
off and up upon the gale. The sounds exceed
ed all I had ever imagined ; a mingled and
fierce crash ; thunder, whirl and tumult almost
I beyond conception. Tlie masts bent like wil
low wands. The noises resembled ’those of
some tremendous conflagration, the roar of
broad flames and the crash of beams, roofs,
walls anil timber. There is, indeed, a simili
tude between the extreme fury of fire anil
water when those elements attain mastely.
Above our heads sails, blocks and cables loos
ened and rent, were hurled up and down again
upon the roof of the round-house. It is not
possible for one unacquainted with the sea to
convince fully the phenomena of such a scene.
The wind is there anew and appalling pow
er, or rather a fiend omnipotent and infernal
It breaks in volumes and audible billows over
your head : producing sounds which seem
like the conflict of unseen demons in the air.
Each separate part of the rigging in motion,
the huge fabrick strained to its utmost tension ;
ropes, waves, spars, cables, chains, blocks,
doors, beams instinct with the phrensy of na
ture. We were deafened with the slamming,
banging, crackling, crashing, snapping, split
ting, flouting, roaring, thundering. It seemed
impossible that such fearful noises could bo
produced, except from the crushing to pieces of
planks and timber. Each moment as I turned
my eyes from the masts I thought I heard them
go, and could scarcely credit my sight that
they were not yet gone. The prominent fea
tures of this hour is the noises. In addition to
the full thunder of the sea and wind, a thou
sand whips cracking, a thousand masts break
ing, a thousand doors banging, a thousand
planks splitting—all together—all with the
most incessant, phrensied, intense, violence
and rapidity. It was a madness, a delirium
of the elements, a paroxysm, an ecstasy of
rage and ruin.
If the surrounding scene was appalling, its
horrors were not decreased by that more near
us. The round-house continued to be swept
by the deep surges which rolled to and fro a
cross the floor. We had in vain endeavored
to persuade the ladies to go below. Every
heart quailed before the gigantic madness of
nature. Most of the females abandoned hope
utterly. One was terrified to a calmness that
made me shudder. Poor Sophia was some
times on her knees in prayer and sometimes
in actual convulsions. Cries of “Oh heavens !
what’s gone now ? There go the masts. Is
there any Lope ?” were all that was said. Os
us gentlemen, I can only say wo were all de
cently still and most thoroughly frightened. It
was terrible to behold the sailors aloft on the
yard endeavoring to furl the fragments of a
sail, the masts bent frightfully, and each mo
ment I looked to see the men whirled off up
on the air. After raging for two hours, the
tornado subsided to such a gale as would have
of itself alarmed us at any other time. I went
into the cabin. Everything was overturned
broken, drenched, desolate. Tired, sleepy,
sick, hungry ; my head aches, my eyeballs
bum ; lam beaten out and exhausted. Ah,
people ashore, how faintly you feel your
blessings !
A wife. —In the new piece of “Love and
Reason,” old General Dorlon is persuading
Adjutant Vincent to marry— “ She is an angel!”
says the General: “ I don’t want an angel — l
should not know what to do with an angel,” is
the reply of tlie single-hearted adjutant “Site
is all sweetness,” rejoins the General i “So ia
a bee-hive,” answers Vincent, “but it does not
follow that I should like to thrust my head
into it.”
During tlie recent election in England, a
candidate for Parliament, solicited the vote of
an elector, who replied, “Sir, I would sooner
give my vote to tho devil.” “But,” retorted
Mr. B. “in £he event of your/Hend not offer 4 *
ing himself, uiav I expect the favor of your
support.” [Eng. Paper?
