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 IB3G, 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 ol 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. Iftilhill, 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, witli this advantage, that the bottom being soft mud creates no damage to •hips and may be very easily deepened if it were necessary. But no sucli necessity ex sts, 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 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 above discoveries, will please give information of the same to the Resident Agent of tire Brunswick Com panies, and the reward shall be paid in each case to the first successful applicant.

PROSPECTUS OF The Ex peri ia t. IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication ol 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.’ altera 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 manilested, desirous of making his little paper | worthy the patronage of an enlightened and generous public, the subscriber has determined I to enlarge it to nearly quadruple the present j dimensions, so that it will contain nearly four ! times as much matter as it now does. Thus ! will be afforded greater space for his own lucu brations and those of correspondents, together with Advertisements and judicious selections. It tnay 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 i ward ; and consequently, the subscription price | for the second volume will be One Dollar in | advance, or One Dollar and Fifty Cents, at the j expiration of the year. This alteration, it will ; he 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. dyThose 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.

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. To effect which 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 public, through him, will be disappointed in their ex pectations of its character and success.

PROPOSALS For publishing, by subscription, a u-ork to he niiil'cd Flora Georg tatsis. THIS will be, both a Grammar and Diction ary of Botany ;—presenting, fust, Vegeta ble Physiology, and. second, a minute and ac- I curate description of every plant vet discovered ’ | in Georgia, toget her with its medicinal or nox : ions properties—its English name—its emblem, j language, &e. Such a work is much needed, I at this time, in our Southern Institutions. We j have no text book in Botany, calculated to j render the science attractive. Sucli ns 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 thorn with enthusiasm in the prosecution ot 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, tile names of the classes and orders in tin* Linncnn system, the method of analysing flowers, and, proceed next, to the examining, collecting and arranging of them into an herbarium. A love 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, Ac. Finally, it will be enriched with every species of informa tion which can render such a work entertaining and instructive. Wc solicit the assistance of scientific gentle men throughout the State, ip 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. I Postmasters are requested to act as agents in receiving and forwarding ns subscriber’s names, 1 as early us the Ist November, j The work will contain from sto 700 pages, | octavo, and be furnished to subscribers, in i boards, at $5 per copy. It will be issued dur i ing the next winter, provided the number of j subscribers warrant the expense. All Editors throughout the Southern States, i friendly to the diffusion of scientific knowledge, | who will insert this notice, and forward irs a copy of their paper, will be entitled to one copy of the work.

FREDERICK BALDWIN, Attorney mid Counsellor at Law, SOLICITOR 1» CHakJiCERY, ML A t ON • ..Gtzn Jsas IS ~i . -dL- nUMBBEIft * ADDRESS To the People of the Southern and South tea tern States. CONCLUDED. But wc not only deny the alleged aatu ral advantages of the Nprthern over our Southern Atlantic cities, for carrying on the exporting and importing business of the staple growing States, but we-assert that the natural advantages are iocouteut nbly on the side of our own seaports. W hat is the commerce iu question, di* vested of the factitious appendages of an artificial system, but simply an annual ex change of cotton and other staples, to the amount of some eighty millions of dol lars, for merchandize imported from En i gland, France and other foreign coun tries? It is perfectly plain, thcrcfore.that the more simple and direct the operation, | the less complicated, involved and mysti fied, the cheaper will the foreign mami ! facturer obtain the cotton and the American cotton planter the merchandize j Ibr which it is exchanged. The foreign manufacturers, and the American planters, are equally interested iin establishing this system of direct ex change; and it can only he effected by bringing the foreign manufactures direct ly to the cities ol the cotton growing States, and making these, instead of New \ ork, the great marls for vending foreign manufactures on the one hand, and the raw material on the other. Considering tiie obvious economy of lhi3 direct eys ; tom ot exchanges, ;t seems strange that the foreign manufacturers have not estab lished their agencies, both for selling goods and purchasing cotton, iiv those cities in preference to others. Cotton j can certainly be obtained cheaper at New ! Orleans, Mobile, Savannah and Charies- I ton, than in any Northern city; add n»an | ufacturcs can as certainly he sold on bet ter terms, lor the consumption of the CQt | ton growing States, if they will bear the j expenses, charges and risks, of an indi rect importation through New York, ! But no just estimate can be formed of the | benefits ot this proposed system, which docs not embrace its tendency to super sede, not only the complex machinery -of intermediate transfers and agencies, rc ; quired m an indirect trade, but to a very I great and salutary extent, the use and | agency of money. Money is .itself a very costly agent, and wherevci* a direct | exchange of commodities, or, in other words, barter, can be substituted for suc- I cessive sales and purchases, the use of the sum of money that would hate been required to effect these sales and parch**- es, jj* superseded by the direct exchangfjf*- arid is just so much saved to the parties concert. c.L In the extensive operations of foreign commerce, a very near approach can be made to this system of barter. Indeed, our great agricultural staple, possesses a ! twofold attribute; This is an invaluable I article of consumption, and at the same time, while passing from the producer to the consumer, without any additional Co6t to society, it performs the function of money, or bills of exchange. ' And in the disordered state of our foreign and do mestic exchanges, and of our money cur • renev, which threatens a long continu ance, this inappreciable production of our favored soil and climate, promisee io become a still more important agent in ! the transactions of our commerce. "Doee ; not this, we confidently ask, giro to the ! seaports of the cotton growing States, a ■ ino.-t decided advantage over their com ■ petitors at the North? The cotton of the | South and South-western States, is the actual capital which sustains four-fifths of our foreign commerce. To that extent the credits obtained in Europe, are ob tained upon the faith of that capital alone. Shall the people of the South and South west, with these palpable facts staring them in the face, any longer remain ob noxious to the reproach j>C owning and furnishing the capital of our foreign com merce, and yet permitting tfie people of distant communities to enjoy its golden profils? Every consideration, public arid private, of patriotism and of interest, de cidedly r orbids it. A field of honorable competition and profitable industry is opened to our enterprize, where the pub lic benefactor and the private trader, the patriot and the merchant, wiU be in the same person. If the Med«f ? '<d‘ modern Italy, while they acquired incal culable wealth, added a princely lustre ifb their house, by embarking on sufch .a field of enterprize, what cilisen of our ! republican States should hesitate to blend, in the ensigns armorial bf hi* fnntity, the titles of patriot and merchant, wfctn he is animated by the noble purpose of rescuing bis country from a state of com mercial dependence, as degrading to her character as it is injurious to ber progpee- Every political community should en deavor to unite within itself, and havte tin- J®r iis own control, ns far as ces will permit, ail the eFemefiti tional wealth.
