T® Merchants, .Uriciiltursts, AND GARDENERS. GR. GARRETSON, iiag removed hi* • wholesale and retail Agricultural and Garden Seed Wharehousc, to Flushing, L. 1., New York, where he intends dealing exten sively in the above business, and will be at 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 nnder 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 accu racy and vitality are expressly warranted. The vending of Seeds is a business deserv ing much greater attention from the mercan tile community than is at present bestowed 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 ns they yield a handsome profit, some explanations may be requisite in regard to making sales, Ac. They are usually supplied by the pound or bushel, and will afford a profit of 100 per cent, or more, at the New York re- , tail prices. For convenience they can be neat ly papered a»d 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 $1 to $2., —the latter being sufficient to crop a garden of one acre. Or they can be put into li 1-4 and 12 1-2 cent papers, neatly labelled, and assort ed suitable for a retail dealer, each of which by the quantity will be charged so as to allow a profit of 60 per cent, on the New York retail prices. Any one wishing to engage in the vending of seeds, and not having experience, by addressing the proprietor will have the ne cessary information given, and they may feel j confident they will be served with none but ar- , ticks of the very best quality. The Proprietor has further to state, that he I is enabled to furnish all kinds of llooks on Ag riculture, Horticulture, Floriculture. Aboricul ture, Rural Economy, Ac. &c. Also, Agri cultural Implements of Husbandry and Garden Tools of every description. Also, 1 ruit and Ornamental Trees and Herbaceous 1 lowering Plants, Roses and Green House Plants ol a very | great variety; all of which can be packed so as to be transported to any part of the United States, West Indies or elsewhere. Great at tention has been paid to obtaining both from j foreign countries and at home, the finest agri cultural seeds, all of which can be furnished in large quantities, and where the purchase is made for cash a discount will be allowed A j liberal credit will be given where a good under standing is established. There will be no d.i- j ficulty in arranging this point to mutual con venience, and on this, and every other subject, j the suggestions of correspondents will receive the fullest consideration. MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS. 60,000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry j or Morus multkaulis, for sale. Ol all the va- j rieties of Mulberries for silk, tins appears most i eminently entitled to preference, and since its introduction into France seems destined to re- j place every where the common Y\ lute Mulber ry for the nourishment of silt worms, such is j 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 rni immense number of silk worms. The raising ol silit is as easy as the raising of wheat and much less j laborious. Fora number of years past it has I been a regular and profitable employment ot j many of the farmers of Connecticut,during tie j early part of the summer, and is emphatically • a business of the farmer—of the cottage—a , simple labor, in which females and children , who do not essentially aid in supporting a fain- j iiyonay turn their services to profit. Every j family of the most limited means can raise the j mulberry and produce cocoons, anil for a tr■ tlv j can procure a pamphlet which will give them j the necessary information of reeling. Ac. The j plants can be packed so as to be transported ft* j any part of the Union and will be furnished in i quantities to suit purchasers,and at very mod- | crate rates. Ntv 1C TO FKIIVK'KR*.

LAIiEY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE LITERATE RE, T’O say that this is a leading age, implies a desire lor instruction, and the means to gratify that desire, on the lirst 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 their classes of readers and support irs. And yet copious as are these means ol intellectual supply, more arc still needed. In addition to the reviews of the day and passing notices of books,,tlic people in large numbers, in nil parts of cur great republic crave the pos session of the books themselves, and details, beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress ol' discovery in art and science. But though it be easy to ascertain and express tlieir wants, it is not so easy to gratify them. Expense, dis tance from the emporium of literature, engross ing occupations, which prevent personal appli cation of even messages to libraries and book sellers, ore so many causes to keep people al way trom the feast of reason and the enjoyment of the covered literary aliment It is the ob ject ofthe publishers ofthe Library to obviate these difficulties, and to enable every individ uul, at a small cost and without any personal effort, to obtain for his own use and that of his tavored 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 tlie reader. The charm of variety, as far as it is eompati hie with morality' and good taste, will be held constantly in view in conducting the Library, to fill the pages of which the current literature of Great Britain, in all its various departments of biography, history, travels, novels and poe try. snail be freely put under contribution.— With perchance occasional exceptions, it is in tend*’ U to give entire the work winch shall be selected for publication. 'VYhoii circumstances authorize the measure, recourse will Le had to the literary stores oi Continental Europe, and translations made trom French, Italian or Ger man, as the ease may he. A A hilst the body ofthe work will be a reprint, or at times a translation of entire volumes, the cover will exhibit the miscellaneous character ol a magazine, and Consist of sketches of men ami tilings, and notices of novelties in literature and the arts throughout the civilized world.— A full and regular supply ofthe literary, month ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain and Ireland, in addition to home periodicals of a similar character, cannot fail to provide am ple materials for this part of our work. The resources and extensive correspondence of the publishers are the best guarantee for the \ continuance of the enterprize in which they are about to embark, as well as for the abun dance of the materials to give it value in the eyes of the public. As far as judicious selec tion and arrangement are concerned, readers will it is hoped, have reason to be fully satisfi ed. as the editor of the Library is not a stran ger to them, but has more than once obtained their favorable suffrages for Ins past literary efforts. TERMS.

The Lions of Philadelphia. THE architectural beauty of many of the PUBLIC BUILDINGS of thiscity is pro verbial. They have not only been the pride ol the city, but excite the attention of all stran gers. Believing that it would be highly accep table to our numerous patrons, scattered as they are from the Lakes to the Ocean, to be present ed with Splf.ndid Illustrations, from the hands of first rate artists—we have made ar rangements to bring out a complete series They will embrace a correct ani. well executed view of all the PUBLIC EDIFICES, of our city and vicinity, forming in the end a collec tion. that may well be termed the LIONS OF PHILADELPHIA, and which will be present ed to our patrons, without trenching upon the usual variety of our columns. AY here it may be expedient we will accompany the engrav ings with such descriptions of size and facts of history, as may be of interest. \A r e shall begin the publication ns soon as we get several engravings from the hands of the artists, who are now at work upon them. On the appearance ofthe first view we shall espe cially increase our edition of the Courier, to supply those who may wish to obtain and pre serve these views. The views will also appear regularly in the PHILADELPHIA MIRROR. U” Asa trifling expression of our regard, we shall print the whole series, at theircompletion, upon fine white paper, in uniform style—form mg a beautiful collection of Views, and present them to such of our country brethren, as may oblige ua by an insertion of this notise A \f w Advertisement, A ,\ew Year , and a .Xctr Inducement,for sub scribing to the Weekly Messenger ! THE cheapest and decidedly the most pop ular Family Newspaper in the U States, with a circulation of many thousand subscrib ers The Axsrican Weekly Messenger is published every Wednesday, on beautiful white paper, ofthe largpsi class, at $2 per annum, or ten snbscriptions for $lO. Its contents are adapted to the wants of the Farmer, Mechanic, Tradesman, Agriculturist, Merchant and Manufacturer. This Journal was commenced on the first of January last, and, without any previous effort to herald its success, went into immediate and rapid circulation. Such was the unprecedent ed popularity which attended its projection that, in about six months from the period it was first issued, not less than fifteen thousand names were embraced on its subscription lists! which have been ever since constantly and rapidly increasing, and now bid fair to super cede in extent and stability every other pub lication which hasexisted 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 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 which the publish 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. The season is approach ing, however, when the reading public are ex pected to make tlieir selections for the next year, and we deem it advisable, therefore, to lurnish 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 of the Messenger lor one year ! A five dollar bill, forwarded by mail, postage paid, will pay for four copies for one year ! Two dollars, paid in advance, is Ihe 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. [Upßemittanccs from Clubs, to be entitled to the lull advantages ofthe liberal terms here offered, must be made in sums of five's and ten's of current Bank notes—any lesser a inount, forwarded by mail, will be classed a iong 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 ofthe term subscribed for ind paid by clubs, the paper will invariably be discontinued, unless the advance money is for warded previous to that time, and the subscrip tions renew cd, in the manner above specified. It will be a great saving to the publisher, anil facilitate the early mailing of the paper, it the individual forwarding the 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 CHARLES ALEXANDER. Athenian Buildings,Franklin Place, Philadel’a. To Ruildm «V Contractors THROUGHOUT GEORGIA.

In my absence from Macon, the 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, invented by 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 liund 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 boys to bear of!', and four to sand the moulds, Ac.—-together with Tour grown men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to make the 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 turn out of beautiful and well tempered brick, 2,30?* in one hour, or about 40 to the minute.

They 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 w henever that happens, they are in cidental, only; not primary. They are dress tolerated only because it cannot well be ser ved from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor porated. Reviews, and Critical Notices, occupy 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 the reader's attention to books that deserve to be read,—and to warn him against wasting time and money upon that large number, which mer it only to be burned. In this age of publica tions that by their variety and multitude dis tract and overwhelm every undiscriininating student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, is one of the most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him who does wish to discriminate. Essays, and Tales, having in view utility or amusement, or both—Historical sketch es—and Reminiscences of events too minute for History, yet elucidating it, aad heighten ing its interest, —may be regarded as forming the staple of the work. And of indigenous Poetry enough is published—sometime's of no mean strain—to manifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talehts 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 solt, 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 tlieir fitting haunts. Igno rance lords it over an immense proportion of our people : Every spring should Le set in motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to in crease their number ; so that the great enemy of popular government may no longer broed, 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 the plan of the Messenger; if that plan be but carried out in practice ? The South peculiarly requ res such an a gent. lu all the Union, south of Washington, there are but two Literary periodicals ! North ward of that city, there are 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 ce/ualitij with our breth ren ; and a domestic institution cxclus.vely 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 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 the other better, contribute in any essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and to. brighten and strengthen the sacred tics of fa tcrnal love. The Southern Literary Messenger has now reached the 11 th No. of its third volume, llow far it has acted out the ideas here uttered, is not for the Editor to say. lit* believes, how ever. that it falls not further short of them, than human weakness usually makes Practice fall short of 'Theory. No subscription will be received for less than a Volume, and must either begin with the cur rent one—or may commence with Vol. TV, the first number ot which will be issued on the Ist January, 1638. The price is $5 per Volume, which must be paid in all rases at the time of subscribing. This is particularly adverted to now, to avoid misapprehension, or future mis understanding—as no order will hereafter be attended to, unless accompanied with the price of subscription. THOMAS W. WHITE. Richmond, Va. Oct. 1637. TIIE HERALD AND STAR. IT cannot be denied that the present state of our country demands peculiar and well di rected activity on the 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, the 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 tlieir ability tor the successful furtherance of this ob ject. The Editors and Proprietors of the Boston Daily Herald, convinced of the importance ol a carefully conducted press to disseminate in formation throughout the country, some weeks since issued the first number of the Semi \V eekev Herald and Star, which they have found to be suitable to the wants of the inland community, as it furnishes over one hundred newspapers in a year, at the very low price ol two dollars This paper is made up from the Daily Herald with such additional matter, in the shape ol stories, legends, poetry, statements ofthe markets, and such information respecting sales as may be deemed advantageous to the yeomanry of the land. The peculiarity of the Herald and Star will be found to be in the fact that while it is not engaged in party politics, it reserves to itself the liberty of speaking boldly and openly on 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 arc industriously and hour ly exerting themselves to give strength and a bility to their various departments. The Herald and Star is published every Tucs] day and Friday morning, and mailed on the night previous in order to ensure its speedy transmission by the mails. The price is Two Dollar* a year payable in advance ; $2,25 in three months; $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 a letter addressed to the Pro prietors. HARRINGTON A CO 8eat08.1337.
