AND GARDENERS.
GR. GARRETSON, has removed his
• wholesale and retail Agrictiltural and
Garden Seed Whareftouse, to Flushing, L. 1.,
New York, where he intends dealing exten
sively in the above' business, and will be al, 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 i.ccu
racy and vitality are expressly warranted.
' The vending of Seeds is a business and. serv
ing much greater attention from the mi roan
tile community than is at present bestowi and up
on it. There is scarcely a farmer or planter
who would not purchase an assortment ot 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. i hey are usually si:pplieu
by or bushel, and will afford a profit
of 100 per cent, or more, at the New York re-j
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 fora family gar
den, which will be supplied at from .si to rs-'n
the latter being sufficient to crop a garden
of one acre. Or they ean be put into <1 1-1 and ;
12 1-2 cent papers, neatly labelled, and assort
ed suitable for a retail dealer, each ol which by
the quantity will be charged so as to allow a
profit of £0 per cent, on the :xYw \ork retail
prices. Any one wishing to engage in the i
vending of seeds, and not having experience,;
by addressing the proprietor will have the ne
cessary information given, and they may i< • i |
confident they will be served w ith none but ur- j
tides of the very best quality.
The Proprietor has further to state, that lie
is enabled to furnish all kinds ol llooks on A r
riculture, Horticulture, Floriculture, Aboricul
ture, Rural Economy, Ac. Ac. „Also, Agri
cultural Implements of Husbandry and Garden
Tools of every description. Also, Fruit and
Ornamental Tregs and Herbaceous !• lowering
Plants, Roses and Green House l'lanisot a very
great variety; all of which ean be packed so
as to be transported to any part ot the United
States, West Indies or elsewhere. Great at
tention lias been paid to obtaining both from
foreign countries and at home, the finest agri
cultural seeds, all of which can he furnished in
large quantities, and where tile purchase is
made for cash u discount will he allowed. A
liberal credit will be given where a good under
standing is established. ’i hero 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 fullest consideration.
MULBERJUES FOR SILK WORMS.
50,000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry
or Morus mnlticaulis. for sale. Ot all the va
rieties of Mulberries for silk, tins appears nuvt
eminently entitled to preference, and since it -
introduction into France seems destined to re
place every where the common White Mulbi r
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 ol them
in full vigor, sufficient to support an immense
number of silk worms. The raising ot silk is
as easy as the raising of wheat atnj much low*
laborious. For a number of years past it lias
been a regular and profitably employment ol :
many of the farmers olConnecticut. during the
early part of the summer, and is emphatically >
a business of the farmer—of the ivttaire —a
simple labor, in which females and children
who do not essentially aid in supporting a iam
ily may turn their services to prom. I.vrry
family of the most limited means can raise ill
mulberry and produce cocoons, and tor a trille j
can procure a pamphlet which will give piem
the necessary information of reeling, Ac. The i
plants can be packed so as to lie transported to
any part of the Union and will be furnished in
quantities to suit purchaser;;, and at very mod

LITERATE HE.
r|lo say that this is a reading age, implies a
-B- desire for instruction, and tiiy means to
gratify that de ire, 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 liner classes of readers and support
era. And vet. copious as are these means ol
intellectual supply, more are still needed. In
addition to the reviews of the day and passing
notices ot' books, the people in large numbers,
in all pints ol'our great republic crave the pos
session of the books themselves, aud details,
beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress
of discovi ry in art and science. But though it
be easy to ascertain and express their wants, it
is not s i easy to gratify them. Expense, dis
tance from the emporium of literature, engross
ing occupations which prevent personal appli
cation ol even messages lo libraries and book
sellers, are so many causes to keep people a]
way from the feast, of reason and the enjoyment
of the covered literary aliment It is the oh
jeift of the publishers of the Library to obviate
these difficulties, and to enable every individ
'uol, at a small cost and without any personal
eifort. to obtain for his own use and that of his
layered 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.

authorize the measure, recourse will be had to
the literary stores of Continental Europe, and
translations made from French, Italian i r Ger
man. as the ease may he.
\\ hilst 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 thing:’., and notices of novelties in literature
and the arts the civilized world.—
A lull and regular supply of the literary, month

ed popularity which attended its projection j
that, in about six months from the period it;
was first issued, not less than fifteen thousand
names were embraced on its subscription listsl
which have been ever since constantly and |
rapidly increasing, and now bid fair to super- j
cede in extent and stability every other pub
lication which has existed in the literary world. !
It is generally conceded that the contents of;
the Messenger embraces as much origimal ;
matter as any other periodical of the present
day. The diffusion of useful and wholesome j
information, with a view to the cultivation of a
correct knowledge of Polite Literature, is the
chief object at which it aims. Arrangements ;
have been entered into, by w hich the publish- j
er will be assisted in the editorial department
by the talents of three or four gentlemen of
distinguished abilities—and it is intended to
introduce several important improvements,
which will bespeak additional popularity for
its columns.
As the character and leading features of this
Journal are well known throughout the United
States, it will be superfluous to enter into a
recital ol the same. Tlie season is approach
ing. however, when the reading public are ex
pected to make their selections for the next
year, and we deem it advisable, therefore, to
furnish a brief and explicit statement of our
terms, which we hope will prove satisfactory,
and be implicitly observed :
A ten dollar bill, forwarded by mail, postage
paid, will pay for ten copies ofthe Messenger
for one yi*ar ! A live dollar bill, forwarded by
mail, postage paid, will pay for four copies for
one year! Two dollars, paid in advance, is
the price of an individual subscription for one
year One dollar, in advance, will pay for a
single subscription for six months only.
A five dollar note will pay one year's sub
scription to the Weekly Messenger and also
the Gentleman’s Magazine, edited by W. E.
Burton, Esq.
ILF Remittances from Clubs, to be entitled
to tiie t’ulEadvantages of the liberal terms here
offered, must be made in sums of five’s and
ten's of current Bank notes—any lesser a
mount, forwarded by mail, will be classed a
long with individual subscriptions.
A premium of FORTY NOVELS, neatly
and appropriately bound, containing the pro
ductions of many of the celebrated writers of
the present day, will be presented to any Agent
forwarding .forty subscribers, and the pay in
advance, as heretofore stipulated.
At the expiration of the term subscribed for
and paid by clubs, the paper will invariably be
discontinued, unless the advance money is for
warded previous to that time, and the subscrip
tions renewed, in the manner above specified.
It will be a great saving to the publisher,
and facilitate the early mailing of the paper, if
i the individual forwarding tlie sum required for
four, or ten, or more subscribers, when they
are located together, will allow the package to
be addressed to the Postmaster-, or someone a
mong themselves, who being made acquainted
with the names ofthe Club, can as readily dis
tribute them as if directed separately.
All letters must be post paid, or they will
not be taken out of the office. Address

HAVING received a number of communi
cations from individuals, making enquir
ies respecting my Brick Machine, invented by
Calvin Waterman, and non in successful ope
ration in this place, I take this method of an
swering them—l invite all who feel disposed
to purchase rights, to corr.e and see the opera
tion of the machine, and if there be any one
who says he is disappointed in his expectations,
1 bind myself to pay the expenses of his trip.
I do not expect 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, tlie editors of the Messenger will act
as my authorized agents.
T. L. SMITH.
We having witnessed the performance of Mr
T. L. Smith’s new Brick Machine, inventedby
Calvin Waterman, now in operation in this
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 hund
red and sixty-eight brick per hour. By mould
ing ten hours in a day, it would therefore turn
out twenty-three thousand six hundred per day.
it requires six hoys to hear off, and four to sand
the moulds, *Ae.—together with four grown
men. Thus fourteen hands aro sufficient to
make tlie above named quantity of the most
beautiful brick per day.
JOHN SPRINGER,
DAVID F. WILSON.
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 any other method of brick
making I have ever seen, both as to the quality
of the brick and expedition in making. By re
quest I timed the machine for half an hour ;
the result of that trial shows that with 14 hands
the machine will turnout of beautiful and well
tempered brick, 2,308 in one hour, or about 40
to the minute. JNO. RUTHERFORD.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
THIS is a monthly Magazine devoted chief
ly to Literature, but occasionally find
ing room also for articles that fall within the
s ope of Science ; and not professing an en
tire disdain of tasteful selections, though its
matter has been, as it will continue to be, in
the main, original.
Party Polities and controversial Theology,
;as far as possible,are zealously excluded. They
I are 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 : but whenever that happens, they are in
\ cidental, only ; not primary. They are dross,
tolerated only because it cannot well be ser
ved from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor
porated.
I Reviews, and Critical Notices, occupy
i 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
i the reader’s attention to books that deserve to
1 be read, —and to warn him against wasting time
and money upon that large number, which mer
iit only to be burned. In this age of publica
tions that by their variety and multitude dis
| tract and overwhelm every undiscriminating
; student, impartial criticism, governed by
tlie views just mentioned, is one of the most
inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to
him who does wish to discriminate.
Essays, having in view utility
jor amusement, or both —Historical sketch
! es —and Reminiscences of events too minute
j for History, yet elucidating it, aad heighten
! ing its interest, —may be regarded as forming
j the staple of the work. And of indigenous
| Poetry enough is published — sometimes of no
J 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, but
many. The public mind is feverish and irri
tated still, from recent political strifes :—The
soft, assuasive influence 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,
than a periodical, on tlie plan of the Messenger;
il that plan be but carried out in practice ?
The South peculiarly requires such an a
gent. In all the Union, south of Washington,
there are hut two Literary periodicals ! North
ward of that city, there aro probably at least
twenty-five or thirty ! Is this contrast justified
by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or
the actual literary taste, of the Southern peo
ple, compared with those of the Nothern ?
No : for in wealth, talents, and taste, we may
justly claim at least an equality with our breth
ren ; and a domestic institution exclusivejy
our own, beyond all doubt affords us, if we
choose, twice the leisure for reading and wri
ting, which they enjoy.
It was from deep sense of this local want,
that the word Southern was engrafted on the
name of this periodical : and not with any de
j sign to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate
supposed local interests. Far from any such
thought, it is the Editor’s fervent wish, to see
the North and South bound endearingly togeth
er forever, in the silken bands of mutual kind
ness and affection. Far from mediating hostil
ity 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
himself, should his pages, by making each re
gion know tlie other better, contribute in any
essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds
j that now threaten the peace of both, and to
! brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fa
| tcrnal love.
i The Southern Literary Messenger has
now reached the 19th No. of its third volume.
How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered,
jis not for the Editor to say. He believes, how
| ever, that it falls not further short of them,
j than human weakness usually makes Practice
! fall short of Theory.
\ No subscription will be received for less than
j a V olume, andmust either begin with the cur
; rent one—or may commence with Vol. IV, the
first number of which will be issued on the Ist
| January, 1838.—The price is $5 per Volume,
which mast be paid in all cases at the time of
\ subscribing. This is particularly adverted to
; now, to avoid misapprehension, or future niis-
I understanding—as no order will hereafter be
j attended to, unless accompained with the price
!of subscription. THOMAS W. WHITE.

TIIE HERALD AND STAR.
IT cannot, be denied that the present state ot
our country demands peculiar and well di
! rected activity on tlie 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 a low
price, tlie inland towns with information, at a
; little delay only, after it has been received in
; the Atlantic cities, is praiseworthy, and should
in the end reward such persons as exert their
ability for the successful furtherance of this ob-
I ject.
The Editors and Proprietors of the Boston
Daily Herald, convinced of the importance ol
a carefully conducted press to disseminate in
j formation throughout the country, some weeks
j since issued the first number of the Semi
[ Weekly Herald and Star, which they have
found to be suitable to the wants of the inland
j community, as it furnishes over one hundred
| newspapers in a year, at tlie very low price ot
two dollars This paper is made up from the
I Daily Herald with such additional matter, in
■ tiie shape of stories, legends, poetry, statements
| of the markets, and such information respecting
' sales as may be deemed advantageous to the
! yeomanry of the land.
j The peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
ibe found to be in the fact that while it is not
engaged in party politics, it reserves to itselt
! the liberty of speaking boldly and openly on
i every subject which concerns the weal of the
whole country—and summons to aid, besides
the constant supervision of the Editors, valua
ble assistants, who are industriously and hour
i K- exerting themselves to give strength and a
bility to their various departments.
The Herald and Star is published every Tues
j day ant| Friday morning, and mailed on the
night previous in order to ensure its speedy
transmission by the mails.
The pride is Two Dollars a year payable in
advance ; $2,25 in three m<mths; $2,50 in six
months ; $3 at the end of the year. The best
method to ensure the reception of the paper is
to enclose $2 in n, letter addressed to the Fro
prietors. * HARRINGTON & CO.
