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. .

ON the first of September next, will be is 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 j will he 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 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, j judicious communications on this subject, pro rided they are free from party spirit, will re* ecive particular attention.

PROPOSALS For publishing by Subscription, a Book to be 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.

FREDERICK BALDWIN, Attorney and Counsellor at Law, ' ASD SOLICITOR IN CHANCERY,. MACON...GA June 1^ rom 9f.Cl 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. , niSCELLAIY. 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. trace the display of vanity triumnbant in the hour of mortality, obaerve the volup tuaries, whom the pride of >|fti rendered indifferent to decorum, the palaces where caprice gives lawud pleasures consume life. The idle fool V leisure for folly; and the fit lasts to the latest moment. Go there, and observe 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 self not capable of a strong emotion^-was 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 ease, and were surprised to End her rich ly attired. The traces of death in her countenance were concealed by rouge* She reclined on a splendid coucb; ques tions of policy were discussed by minis ters in her presence; she gloried in bedd ing to the last the reins of the kingdom in- her hands. Even e sycophant clergy showed respect to the expiring favorite; and felt no shame at sanctioning with their frequent visits the vices of % woman, who had entered the palace only as adul teress. Having complied with thn rights of the Roman church, she next mngfct the approbation of the philosopher lisped no word of penitence; tbrafaed so tears of regret. The curate left her at she was in the agony: “Wait 1 moment,** said she, “we will leave the honee tofetfr* er.” The dying mistress, still tbE* tfr distribute favors, may ensure obedience; the dead are disregarded by tbs idK Hardly had she expired, but tho infit changed."
