ONE THOUSAND DOLL ARS RE
WAR D.
WHEREAS it has been reported that there
is an outer bar opposite the entrance to the
Port of Brunswick, in Georgia, some miles dis
tant from that surveyed by three Commission
ers of the Navy in 1830, and having less water
upon it; the above reward is offered to any per
son who will discover any such bar so situated
as to eause a hindrance to ships entering the
Port.
And whereas it has been also confidently re
ported that there is a bar across the inner chan
nel of Oglethorpe Bay, opposite the city of
Brunswick, having only the depth of six or
eight feet of water on it at low ti<fe ; a rewind
of five hundred dollars will be paid to any per
son who shall discover such bar, or any bar
so situated, which has not an abundant depth of
water upon it for the passage of merchant ships
of the first class up to the town.
The inner bar above alluded to is probably
the one described in the following extracts,
Ist, From the report of the State Commis
sioners, John G. Polhill, Hugh Lawson and
Moses Fort, Esquires:
‘“Between Brandy Point on this island, and
Dennis’s Folly on the Brunswick shore, there
is an inner bar, upon which there is about twelve
feet at low water, and, as the tide rises ten feet,
it gives the same depth of water that we find on
the outer bar, with this advantage, that the
bottom being soft mud creates no damage to
ships and may be very easily deepened if it
were necessary. But no such necessity exists,
as any ship that crosses the outer bar can run
overthis at high water, and find the best an
chorage near the blutf along the whole extent
of the town, in from twenty to forty feet water
at the lowest time of tide. This we ascertain
ed from careful soundings at low water, and
after having finished the soundings for or
selves, ascertained that Stockton’s report and
diagrams confirmed our own survey.”
2d. From the report of the Commissioners of
the Navy, made subsequently to the last:
“A shoal of soft mud, close to and below the
town, on which but 12 feet can be found at low
water, seems to indicate some other point in the
harbor as a more suitable position for a navy
yard. We believe Blythe Island, on the op
posite shore, to be the most eligible.”
Any person making the discoveries,
will please give information of the same to
the Resident Agent of the Brunswick Com
panies, and the reward shall be paid in each
.case to the first successful applicant.

PROSPECTUS OF
The Eipci'imciit.
IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication of
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
nothis 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 has determined
to enlarge it to nearly quadruple the present
dimensions, so that it will contain nearly lour
times as much matter as it now docs. 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 here to 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 the first insertion, and 25 cents pel
square for each subsequent insertion. .

sued tlie first number of tlie Sotithern Lit
j r.rury Aspirant, in quarto form, medium—to be
! conducted by tlie 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
i firm conviction of its necessity and importance;
I and the editor has only to regret that abler
hands have not undertaken to accomplish so
i desired an object as the advancement of Litera
ture in the South, before him. To effect which

! Editor has received the assurance of assistance
from many, upon whom he relies, with a pleas
ing confidence, that himself nor the pub/ic.
through him, willbe disappointed in their ex
' peetations of its character and success.
IV e intend that our paper shall be a faithful
vehicle of general Ne .vs. 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,

PROPOSALS

entitled
The Chci'okee (.and Wsottery.
BY JAMES F. SMITH,
FYom a Manuscript copy recently compiled by
himself.
THE publisher assures the citizens of Geor
gia, who may think proper to subscribe to
the work, that he will use every exertion to
render it a useful vehicle of such information
as may be of importance to them.
The Cherokee lAind Lottery will contain the
names of all the fortunate drawers in the Land
Lottery, and their residence, up to the first of
January, 1838, with an engraved map of each
Land District in the Cherokee Country, im
mediately preceding the names in each district.
The Cherokee Land Lottery will contain about
five hundred pages, royal octavo size, will be
printed on good paper, neatly bound, and deliv
ered to subscribers by the first of March, 1838,
at fire dollars per copy.
O’Postmasters and others, who will act as
agents for the publisher in procuring subscri
bers, and who shall procure and forward to the
publisher, iii Milledgeville, ten responsible sub
scribers shall receive a copy of the work, gratis.
All Editors of newspapers in the State who
will give the above a few insertions, shall re
ceive a copy of the work. Nov. 23.
PROPOSALS
For publishing, by subscription, a work to be
entitled
Flora Georgiensis.
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—itb 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
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
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, 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 tbeir 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 Editors throughout tlie 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,

POETEY,
SHE WAS A PHANTOM OF DELIGHT
■ f WORDSWORTH.
She was a phantom of defight
When first she gleamed upon mrf sight,
A lovely apparition, sent
To be a moment’s ornament.
Her eyes as stars of twilight fair,
Like twilight, too, her dusky hair}
But all things els e about her drawn
From May-time and the cheerful dawn;
A dancing shape, an image gay,
To haunt, to startle and way-lay-
I saw her upon nearer view,
A spirit, yet a woman toot
Her household motions, light and free,
And steps of virgin liberty;
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
A creature not too bright or good
For human nature’s daily food;
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, team and smiles.
And now I see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A being, breathing thoughtfulbreath,
A traveller betwixt life and death.
Tho reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight, strength and skill,
A perfect woman, nobly planned
To warm, to comfort and cenarand;
And yet a spirit still and bright
With something of an angel light. ,

Death-bed or Madam Pomfadoob.
The thoughts of vanity, in the example
chosen by the poet, extended to appear
ances after death; vanity is not UMdire
in the dying hour. But here we ahotpid
look for proof to the precincts of courts,
to the scene where folly used to reign by
prescriptive right; where the ample
means of gratification permitted no ob
stacle to indulgence,, The foibles of the
poor are bounded l>y their poverty, vices
of humble life are concealed in the ob
scurity of neglect ana oblivion.

the harlot’s enthanasia. The French
court was at Choisy when Madams de
Pompadour felt the pangs of a mortal
malady. It had been the established eti
quette, that none but princes and persons
of royal blood, should breathe their last
in Verseilles. Proclaim to the day cir
cles of Paris, that a thing, near and un
heard of, is to be permitted! Announce
to the world that the rules of palace pro
priety and Bourbon decorum are to be
broken! Open ye palace doors, for the
king's favorite mistress! Ye chambers,
where vice has fearlessly lived and laugh
ed, hut not been permitted to expire, be
ye now the witnesses of the novel scene!
The marchioness questioned tb« physi
cians firmly; she perceived their hesita
tion; she felt the hand of death; and sip
determined, says the historian, to depart
in the state of a queen. Louis XV. him

yet eager to concede to his dying friend
the consolation which she coveted, tbeop*
portunity to reign till her last gasp.
The courtiers thronged round the death
bed of a woman, who distributed favors
with the last exhalations of her breath;
and the king hurried to name to public
offices the person whom she recommend
ed with the faltering accents of departing
life. The sick chamber was a scene of
state; the princes and grandees still enter
ed to pay their homage to a woman,
whose power did not yield to mortal dis
