GR. GARRETSON, lms removed his
• wholesale and retail Agricultural und
Garden Seed Wharehouse, toElushing. 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
tinder 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 milch greater attention from the mercan- 1
tile community than is at present bestowed up
on it. There is sc a reel} - a farmer or planter
who would not purchase an assortment ot su- j
perior Garden Seeds if they could procure them
easily. And as they yield a handsome profit,
some explanations may be requisite in regard to J
making sales. *c. 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 car. he 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 jftl to $23
—the latter being sufficient to crop a garden
of one acre. Or they can be put into 0 1-1 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 u
profit of til) 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 no-,
Pessary information given, and they may feel
confident they will be served with none but ar- j
tides of the very best quality.
The Proprietor lias further to state, that In
is enabled to furnish all k inds of Rooks on Ag
riculture, Horticulture, Floriculture, Aboricul
ture. Rural Economy, Ar. &c. Also, Agri
cultural Implements of Husbandry and Garden
Tools of every description. Also, Fruit and
Ornamental Trees and Herbaceous Flowering
Plants, Roses and Green House Plants of a very
great variety ; all of which can be packed so
as to be transported to any part of tin- I'nitcd
States, West Indies or elsewhere. Great at
tention has 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 the purchase is
made for cash a discount will be allowed. A
liberal credit will be given where a good under
standing is established. There will be no dif
ficulty in arranging this point to mutual con
venience, und on this, and every other subject,
the suggestions nf correspondents will receive
the fullest consideration.

MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS.
60,000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry
or Morus multicaulis, for sale. Os all the va-'
rieties of Mulberries for silk, tins appears most
eminently entitled to preference, and since its
introduction into France seems destined to re- j
place every where the common White Mulber- |
ry for the nourishment of silk worms, such is j
its superiority over all others. The tree is |
beautiful aud of a rapid growth, and will thrive
well in almost any situation, and a few years
are sufficient to raise considerable fields of them
in full vigor, sufficient to support an inline use
number of silk worms. The raising of silk is j
as easy as the raising of wheat and much less j
laborious. For a number of years past it has
been a regular and profitable employment of;
many of the farmers of Connecticut, during the j
early part of the summer, and is emphatically '
a business of the farmer—of the cottage—a j
simple labor, in which females and children ’
who do not essentially aid in supporting u fam
ily may turn their services to profit. Every!
family of the most limited means can raise the ;
mulberry' and produce cocoons, and for a t ri ll< - i
can procure a pamphlet which will give them I
the necessary' information of reeling. Arc. The j
plants can be packed r.o as to be transported to j
any part of the Uniou anu willin' furnished in ,
quantities to suit purchasers, and at very mod
erate rates. Nov. 1G

to whom they have been individually known
as established letter founders, that they have |
now formed a co-partnership in said business. ]
and an extensive experience, they hope to la
able to give satisfaction to all who may favor
them with their orders.
The introduction of machinery in plan ol
the tedious and unhealthy process of casting,
type by hand, a desideratum by the European
founders, was by American ingenuity, a heavy ;
expenditure of time and money op the part ol
our senior partner, first stfttcessfully aecom
pushed. Extensive use of the machine-cast!
letter, has fully tested and established its ku- j
periority in every particular, over those cast
by the old process.
The letter foundry business will hereafter 1
be carried on by the parties before named, un
der the firm of White, Hager & Cos. Their
Specimen exhibits, a complete series, from j
Diamond to Sixty-four Lines Pica. The Book

RALLIES LITERARY OMNIBUS—
j Xotel and Important Literary Enterprise!
.Yorelg , Talcs, Biography, Voyages. Trurtls,
Hcricics, and the JYews of the Day. It was
j one of the great objects of “Waldie s Library,’’
! "to makegood reading cheaper, and to bring
Literature to every man’s door.” This object
has Leon accomplished ; we have given to
hooks wings, and they have flown to the up
permost parts of our vast continent, carrying
j society to the secluded, occupation to the lite
! rary. information to all. We uow propose still
further to reduce prices, and render the access
i to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac
cessible; we gave, and shall continue to give,
in the quarto library, a volume weekly for two
cents a day ; we now propose to give a volume,
in the same period, lor less than 'four cents n
creek, and to add. us a piquant seasoning to the
disii, a few columns of shorter literary mutters, j
and a summary of the news and events of the j
day. We know, by experience and caleula- I
lion, that"wd can go still further in the matter ;
of reduction, and" we feel, that there is still 1
verge enough for us to aim at cfit-ring to an
increasing iiterarv appetite, that mental food !
which it craves.
The Select Circulating Library, now as ever
so great a favorite, will continue to make its
weekly visits, and to be issued in a form for
binding and preservation, and its price and
j form will remain the same. But v.-e shall, in

I sheet, of the site of the largest newspapers of
• America, but on very superior paper, also, f/i
--' eel with books, of the newest and most entertain
ing, though, in their several departments ot
[ Novels, Tales, Voyages, Travels, *c., select in
• their character, joined with reading, such as
I should fill a weekly newspaper. By this ineth
! od, we lmpe to accomplish a great good : toen
| liven and enlighten the family circle, and to
| give to it, at at expi use which shall be no con-
I sideration to any, a mass of reading, that, in
book form, would alarm the pockets of the pru
dent, and to do it in a manner that the most
sceptical shall acknowledge ‘-the power of
| concentration can no-fart her go.” No book,
which appears in Waldie s Quarto Library, will
| he published in the Omnibus, w hich will be an
entirely distinct periodical.

Its contents are adapted to the wants of the

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
i rapidly increasing, and now bid fair to super
cede in cxlent 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
! 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 ed.torujl department,
by the talents of three or four gentlemen of
i distinguished abilities—and it is intended to
[introduce several important improvements,
| which will bespeak additional popularity for
i its columns.
j As the character and leading features of this
: Journal are well known throughout the United
’ States, it will be superfluous to enter into a
i recital ol the same. Tile season is approach
l ing, however, when the reading public are ex
! pectcd to make their selections lor the next
! year, and we deem it advisable, therefore, to
i lurnish a brief and explicit statement of our
j terms, which we hope will prove satisfactory,
; and be implicitly observed :
I A ten dollar bill, forwarded by mail, postage
jiaid, 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
i 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 IV. E.
Burton, Esq.
O’ Remittances from Clubs, to be entitled
to the full advantages of the liberal terms here
offered, must be made in sums of five’s aud
ten’s of current Bank notes—any lesser u
liiount, forwarded by mail, will be classed 11-
long with individual subscriptions.
A premium of FORTY NOY’ELS, neatly
and appropriately bound, containing the pro
ductions of many of the celebrated writers a;f
the present day, willbe 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 tbe manner above specified.
It will be a great saving to the publisher,
and 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 some one_a
mong themselves, who being made acquainted
with the names-of the Club, can as readily d.s
tribute them as if directed separately.
All letters innst be post paid, or they will

who says he is disappointed in hisexpectations,
I hind myself to pay the expenses of his trip.
I do not expect to sell a right to any one with

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, 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 tins
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 inexper.onoed 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 boys to bear off, and four to sand
the moulds, Ac.—together with four grown
men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make the above named quantity of tlie most
beautiful brick per dav.

I have witnessed the performance of Mr T.
L. Smith's new Brick-making Machine, just
p it into operation in this place: and have no
hesitation in pronouncing it a great and useful
improvement on any other method of brick
making 1 have ever seen, both as to the quality
of the brick and expedition in making. By re
quest 1 timed the machine for half an hour ;
the result of that trial shows that with 14 hands
the machine will turn out of beautiful arid well
tempered brick, 2,30 c in one hour, or about 40
to the minute. JNO. RUTHERFORD.

THE subscribers tender their thanks to the
gentlemen of Glynn County for the lib
eral patronage they have received and hope by
their continued exertions and untiring attention

to call and judge for themselves.
Their establishment will remain open during
the Summer and all orders punctually attended

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
[SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER
riIHIS is a monthly Magazine devoted cliief-
J- ly to Literature, but occasionally find
ing room also for articles that fall within the
sc: pe of Science ; and not professing an en
tire disdain ol tasteful selections, though its
matter lias been, as it will continue to be in
the main, original.
Party Politics and controversial Theology.
as far as possible,are zealously excluded. They
are sometimes so blended with discussions if,
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.
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 eonvey, 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 undiscriminating
student, impartial criticism, governed by
the views just mentioned, is one /of the most
inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to
him who docs 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—sometimes of no
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 lever, and soothe that irrita
tion. Vice and folly are rioting abroad :—They
should be driven by indignant rekuke. or lash
ed by ridicule, into their fitting haunts. Igno
ranee 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 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 the plan of the Messenger;
if that plan be but carried out in practice ?
The South peculiarly requ res such an a
gent. In .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 equality with our breth
ren ; and a domestic institution exclusively
our own,beyond all doqbt affords us, if we
choose, twice tlie 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 oi 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
ternal love.
The Southern Literaf.y Messenger has
now reached the Kith No. of its third volume.
How lar 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 then),
than human weakness usually makes Practice
fall short of Theory.
No subscription will he received for less than
a Volume, and must either begin with tlie cur
rent one—or may commence with Vol. IV, the
first number of which will be issued on the Ist
January, ltiflti.— The price is $5 per Volume,
which must he paid in all cusesutlhc time of
subscribing. This is particularly adverted to
now, to avoid niisapprelfdiß|ien, or'future mis
understanding—as no order will hereafter be
attended to, unless accompi£ned with the price
of subscription. THOMAS W. WHITE.

THE HERALD AND STAR.
IT cannot be denied that the_present state ol
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 their
ability for 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
Weekly 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 tlie very low price oi
two dollars This paper is made up from the
Daily Herald witlj such additional matter, in
the shape of stories, legends, poetry, statements
ol the 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 itselt
the liberty of speaking boldly aud openly on
every subject which concerns the weal of the
whole country—and summons to aid, besides
the constant supervision of tlie Editors, valua
ble assistants, who are 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 Dollars a year payable in
advance ; $2,25 in tlfree 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 ACO
