WHEREAS it lias 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 1836, 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 cause 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 tide ; a reward 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 eioners, 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 over this at high water, and find the best an chorage near the bluff 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 ■elves, ascertained that Stockton's report and diagrams confirmed our own survey.” 2d. From the report of the Commissioners of the Navx r , 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 above 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 T li c £ x peri m c a* I. IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication cl 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 x<f 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 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 :;o small a compass. With increased labor and expenditure, lie must hope for increased re ward; and consequently, the subscription price for the second volume will be One Dollar in advance, or One Dollarand 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 front 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. O’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.

PROSPECTUS OF THE ttoiitltci'zi LKonu'v zlspirant. ON the first of September next, will be is sued the first number of the Southern I.it i irnry Aspirant, in quarto form, medium—to be j conducted by-tlie present Editor of the “ News j Carrier;” at which time that paper-will merge into the former. Such 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. Toeffect which will be his constant and unerring aim. The Editor lids received the a-ssurance of assistance [ from many, upon whom he relies, with % pWas (ing confidence, that himself nor the public, i through hirn, will be disappointed in their ex [ pectatioris of its character and success. We intend that our paper shall be a faithful vehicle of general News. The cause of the j 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 i 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* ecive particular attention.

THE publisher assures the citizens of Geor gia, who may think proper to subscribe to the work, that lie will use every exertion to render it a useful vehicle of such information as may he of importance to them. The Cherokee Land Lottery will contain the names of all the fortunate drawers in the Land Lottery, and their residence, up to the first of January, 1638, 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 live hundred pages, royal uctavo size, will be printed on good paper, neatly bound, and deliv ered to subscribers by the first cf March, 1838, at Jirc dollars per copy. XJ’Postmasters and others, who will act as j agents for the publisher in procuring subscri- j hers, and who shall procure and forward to the I publisher, in Miiledgeville, ten responsible sub-1 scrib* rs shall receive a copy of the work, gratis, j All Editors of newspapers in the State who will give (lie above a few insertions, shall re- • ccive a copy of the work. Nov. 23. proposalsT Fur publishing, by subscription, a work to be i entitled Ft ora Geo rgien s I r.. rgTIIIS will be. both a Grammar and Diction- j A ary of Botany ; —presenting, first, Vegeta ble Physiology, and, second, a minute and ac curate description of every plant yet discovered j in Georgia, together with its medicinal or nox ious properties—it s English nuim—its emblem, language, Ac. Such u work is much needed, at this time, in our Southern Institutions. We have no text hook 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 dese iption of a few leaves, roots, llowers. &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 glasses and orders in the Linucan 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 cau render sncli 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 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 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 t > one copy of the work.

XJ'Printcrs will confer a favor by giving the above two or three insertions in their papers. ~~ Frederick Baldwin, Attorney and Counsellor at haw, AND SOLICITOR IN CHANCERY, UACON...GA JaatlS NUMBIOIfiL ADDRESS To the People of the Southern and South western States. . ? Fellow Citizens: Os the numerous subjects deeply nnd intimately connected with your permanent prosperity and hap piness, which have, during the last fif teen years, demanded of you all the con sideration which your intelligence could bestow, and all exertions your patriotism could contribute, none have come more directly “home to your business and your bosoms,” than that upon which we now propose to address you. **' , \ , The struggle in which you were so song engaged, in relieving your commerce from the burdens imposed Opon it by par tial legislation, has been terminated by a compromise, which, if finally carried out in the 1 iberal and magnanimous spirit in Iwhichitwas conceived, cannot fail to | perpetuate the political harmony which it I was the means of restoring. But it is ! not to be disguised, that tlie system of j high protecting duties, falling mainly up ion the productions of the exporting | States, combined with the system-of fed j oral disbursement, which expended the | revenue resulting ffom those duties, -il-. I most exclusively in the Northern States, j lias converted the slight superiority orig ! inally possessed by the Northern cities, in the business of foreign importations, 1 into an overwhelming and diverted almost the whole of the menso commerce of the Southern Southwestern States into artificial, circu itous and unnatural .channels. In shes commercial relations of extensive and wealthy communities, it was to have been expected tliaLeficcts would for sometime survive their cause*?. And accordingly that portion of tlie commerce of the U nited States, which is appropriately our own, consisting of an exchange of our agricultural productions for the mannfacS tures of foreign countries, Is still carried on principally through Northern cities, by the agency of Northern who levy a transit duty—voluntarily paid to be sure—but utterly incompatible With a just and enlightened view of our own interests. Now that the system of compoteor’y tribute is greatly reduced, and rapidly coming to a close, we are called upon by every consideration of enlightened self-interest, to signalize our complete commercial emancipation, by throwing off this system of voluntary tribute, wnicb can continue only by our consent aiid Co* operation. A candid and dispassionate survey of the actual condition of onr foreign com merce, as compared with our great nature al advantages, will demonstrate that -to bring about this consummation, so ‘ ‘de voutly to he wished,” by every patriotic citizen of the Southern and Southwest ern States, nothing more is necessary than a resolution on our part to accom plish it. To wHI is to do it. A brief analysis of our fpreign com merce will he now presented. Taking the imports and exports of the United States for the fiscal year IS3G, as a crite rion, we have the following extraordinary statistical phenomena: The imports of the w hole of the Unit* ed States, amounted in f°und numbers, to $11)0,000,000. Those of New York alone amounted to sllßjooo,ooo, while those of all the Atlantic States south of the Potomac, and tlie States on the Gulf of Mexico, amounted to only $20,000,- 000, nnd those of South Carolina and Georgia to only $3,400,000. During the same year, the domestic exports of the United States amounted to $107,000,000 of which New York exported only sl9,* ! 800,000, against an import of 118 mil i lions, whilst the States South and South ' west of the Potomac, exported $78,000,- [ 000 against an import of only $20,- 000,000, and South Carolina and Georgia ! each having a commercial seaport, with a safe lnrbor on the Atlantic, exported $24,000,000 against an import of only $3,400,000 ! The contrasts here exhib ited are absolutely astounding, and it is confidently believed they are without any parallel iiu the history of independent States. New York, i l will be perceived, imported six times the amount of her ex ports, while the Southern and Southwest ern States imported little more (baa <HMt fourth of the amoiiuiof theirs, and Sough Carolina and Georgia imported leea |%M| one seventh part of the value of IJffiff Tfie case of these two States furnishes the fairest criterion for detjerißiuifMt the degree of that ruinous * exists between the exports and ImportsYff the States which produce, tftft fit&t agri cultural staples, which are almost the sole foundation of the foreign Commerce of the whole Union. # New Orleans, from ite sition, imports West India productionsibr the Valley of the Mississipf i, and apecie from Mexico for tlie United States gener ally—articles which -are not obtained in Western States, and form no part of. the commerce bf whjch those staples are
