PROPOSALS
For publishing, by subscription, a u orlc to be
entitled
Flora HeorsiieHsif!.
THIS will be, both a Grammar and Diction
ary of Botany ; —presenting,first, Vegeta
ble Physiology, and, second, a minute mid ac
curate description of every plant yet discovered
in Georgia, together with its medicinal or nox
ious properties—its English name—its emblem,
language, Ac. Such a work is milch needed,
at tliis time, in our Southern Institutions. \\ e
Stave no text book in Botany, calculated to
render the science attractive. Such ns we
have, arc nothing more than a few disconnected
facts in Physiology, or a dry desc iption of a
few leaves, roots, flowers, iVc. 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 ean 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 classes
and orders in the Linncan 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 imptunted, it must and i till increase,
and urge them ou to further and further investi
gations.
We intend that our work shall he, nt 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.
We solicit the assistance of scientific gentle
men throughout the State, in furnishing us with
information concerning the names, locality and
habits of plants iu tlicir immediate vicinity.—
Buch 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 a* the Ist November.
The work will contain from 5 to 700 pages,
octavo, and be furnished to subscribers, m
boards, at $5 per copy. It will be issued dur
ing tho next w inter, 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 to one copy
of the work. L. I.ATASTE,

Such a work is offered to the public lroiu a

Editor has received the assurance of assistance
from many, upon whom he relies, with a pleas

We intend that our paper shall be a faithtu!
vehicle of general News. The cause of the
South, will be its cause, and the advancement
of her interest its chief aim and desire. Asa

affairs of Government, however, will not be

TIIE SOUTHERN MAGAZINE,
IS the name by which the new volume ot the
“Bachelor s' Button.” will be designated.
There will be no material change ill its appear
ance. Each paper will contain about (>4 pages.
Efforts will be made to improve the quality ra
ther than increase the quantity of the matter.
We do not wish to publish any tiling that
might he unreadable; and if we were to prom
ise an hundred pages, half of them would nec
essarily be written carelessly. This magazine
is now larger than the subscription price war
rants. The printing expenses, in Mobile, are
twice as much us they would be in New \ork.
This magazine has not yet received enough
of patronage to sustain it; yet the Editor has
not despaired of being able to give it a firm
foundation. The effort to establish it has, at
least awakened a lively interest in its behalf,
throughout the State; and a very slight exer
tion, on the part of the talented and intellectu
al portions of society, will ensure it eminent
success.
One thousand subscribers will sustain the
publication. We have now about six hundred.
These are confined to South Alabama, and al
most exclusively to some halt dozen towns
North Alabama has taken no interest and giv
en us no subscribers, v. :th but two or three ex
ceptions; vet this is our own fault, as we have
made very little exertion to extend its circula
tion in that section. These facts lead us to be
lieve that Alabama will eventually sustain us.
rfo far as v:<■ have been able to learn, the
manner in which the Literary department of
this Magazine lias been conducted, lias met
with general approbation. \\ e have been com
plimented. publicly and privately. '1 Ins gives
us great gratification', and we confidently piom
i«o Hindi improvement.
This prospectus will lie sent to the postmas
ters throughout the State, who are most re
spectfully requested to exhibit it, together with
this number of the Bachelor s Button, as a
specimen; and to act as agents. Our agents
and friends ean promote tin* complete success
of this Magazine, bv making very slight exer
tions. Ten pel* cent, will he allowed on all re
mittances by agents.
Letters addressed to the editor should be
post paid.
Terms —The Southern Magazine will be
published in the City ot Mobile, on llie first ot
every month: the first number on the l ;t of
January, ldfis. I’rivc Five Dollars a year iu

PROSPECTUS OF

IN issuing a Prospectus tor the publication ot )
a paper, the undersigned will depart from a j
usage more honored in the breach, than in the
observance, and make no promises which it ii I
not Ins design to fulfil. “The Emt.uiji lnt," j
after a trial of almost Id months, has not failed in :
rccuring for the Editor, the attention and pat- j
nonage 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 ol making his little paper
worthy the patronage of an enlightened and
generous public, the subscriber has determined
to enlarge it to nearly quadruple the present
dimensions, so that it will contain nearly four
times as much matter as it now does. Thus
will he afforded greater space for his owil lucu
[ hrations and those of correspondents, together
| with Advertisements and judicious selections.
It may not he 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
i small a compass. With increased labor and
I expenditure, he must hope for increased re
| ward ; and consequently. the subscription price
! for the second volume will be One Dollar in
advance, or One Dollar and Fitly Cents, at the
expiration of the year, ’i Ins. xiiferutiun, it will
be perceived, is not ill proportion to the change
of size in the paper ; the times being hard, we

PROSPECTUS
or THE
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
THIS is a monthly Magazine devoted chief
ly to Literatike, but occasionally find
ing room also for articles that fall within the
scope 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 Politics nnd controversial Theology
os far as possible,are zealously excluded. 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 : hut whenever that happens, they are in
cidental, only ; not primary. They,are dross,
tolerated only because it cannot xvell 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 have a threefold
tendency—to ronvW, 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
he 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 dues wish to discriminate.
Essa vs, and Tales, having in view utility
or amusement, or both— Historical sketch
es—and Reminiscences of events too minute
for History, yet elucidating it, and heighten
ing its interest, —may be regarded os forming
the staple ot 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.
j The times appear, for several reasons, to de-;
j maud such a work—and not one alone, but ;
| many. The public mind is feverish and irri- ’
! tilled still, from recent political strifes : —The ;
soft, assuasive influence of Literature is need- ;
»*d. to allay that fever, and soothe that irrita- j
•ion. Vice and folly are rioting abroad : —They ■
j should he driven by indignant rebuke, or lash
j eil by ridicule, into their fitting haunts. Igno
rance lords it over an immense proportion of
| our people : Every spring should he set in
| motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to in-
I crease their number : so that the great enemy
j of popular government may no longer brood.
like a portentous cloud, over the destinies o j
I ourromitry. And to accomplish all these ends, j
what more powerful agent ean be employed. |
than a periodical, on the plan ot the Messenger;
! if that plat) be but carried out in practice i
: The Storm peculiarly requires such an a
| gent. In all the Union, south of Washington. )
there are but two Literary periodicals ! North j
| ward of that city, there are probably at least!
twenty-five or thirty ! Is this contrast justified j
bv the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or
j the actual literary taste, of the Southern peo- '
I pie. compared with those of the Nothern ? I
1 No : for in wealth, talents, and taste, we may
justly claim at least an rijuulity with our bretli
: ren ; nnd a domestic institution exclusively
' 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
i sign to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate
I supposed local interests. Far from any such
thought, it is the Editor's fervent wish, to see
the North and South bound endearingly togeth
cr forever, in the silken bands of mutual kind
-1 ness and affection. Far from mediating hostil
| ity to the North, he lias 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
i gion know the other better, contribute in any
| essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds
that now threaten the peace of both, and to
I brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of la
| tcrnal love.
The Southkun Literary Messenger has
j now reached the lfith No. of its third volume.
How tar it has acted out the ideas here uttered,
'is not for the Editor to say. He believes, how
| ever, that it falls not further short of them,
than human weakness usually makes Practice
full 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. IV, the
: first ii umber of which will be issued on the Ist
January. 1~28. The price is $5 per Volume,
'which mas! be pa •»' in all ruses at the time of
subscribing. This is particularly adverted to
! now. to avoid misapprehension, or future mis
understanding—as no order will hereafter he
attended to. unless accompanied with the price
lof subscription. THOMAS W WHITE.

THE HERALD AND STAR.
S T cannot he denied that the present state ol
. our country demands peculiar and well di
' rooted activity on the part of the press to make
known the features'of the various topics which
arc 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 r and should
in the end reward such persons as exert their
ability for the successful furtherance of this ob

The F.ditors :uid Proprietors of the Boston
Daily Herald, convinced of the importance oi
' a carefully conducted press to disseminate in
' formation throughout the country, some weeks
since issued the first number of the Semi
Wi r ui.v IlniAi.ii vsn Star, which they have
| found to be suitable to the wants of the inland
j community, as it furnishes over one hundred
j newspapers in a year, at the very low price ol
two dollars This paper is made up from the
Daily Hi raid with such additional matter, in
I the shape of stories, legends, poetry, statements
! of the markets, and such information respectinor
sales as may be deemed advantageous to the
yeomanry ot the land.
The peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
i 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 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 are industriously and hour
lv 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
j advance ; $2,25 in three months ; $2,50 in six

To Merchants, Affricultursts,
ANI) GARDENERS.
G« R. GARRETSON, has removed his
T• wholesale and retail Agricultural and
Garden Seed Wharehouse, to Flushing, L. 1.,
New York, where he intends dealing exten
sivcly in the above business, and will be at all
times enabled to furnisli dealers and others with
every article in'iiis line of business. And as
the greater part of his stock of Seeds is raised j
under his personal attention or direction, or i
where it is necessary to import from Europe,
they are procured from the most rnspectable
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- j
tng much greater attention from the tnerean- j
tile community than is at present bestowed up
on it. There is scarcely a farmer or planter j
who would not purchase an assortment of 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, &e. 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- 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 for a family gar
den. which will be supplied at from $1 to $25
—the latter being sufficient to crop a garden
of one acre. Or they caii'bc put into (i 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 Hi’ 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
confident they will be served with none but ar
ticles of the very best quality.
The Proprietor has further to state, that he
is enabled to-furnish all kinds of Books on Ag
riculture. Horticulture, Floriculture, Aboricul
ture, Rural Economy, &c. tfcc. 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
! oreat variety ; all of which can he packed so
!as to be transported to any part of the United
j 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 be furnished in
large quantities, and where the purchase is
made for cash a discount will he allowed. A
liberal credit willjbe given where a good under
standing is established. There will be no dif
| ficultv in arranging this point to mutual con
! venie’nee, and on this, and every other subject,
! the suggestions of correspondents will receive
the fullest consideration.
MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS.
50,000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry
or Monts ihultteattlis, for sale. Ot all the va
rieties of Mulberries for silk, tliis appears most
eminently entitled to preference, and since its
introduction into France seems destined to re
place every where the common White Mulber
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 of them
in full vigor, sufficient to support an immense
number of silk worms. The raising of silk is
as easy as the raising of wheat and much less
laborious. For a number of years past it has
been a regular and profitable employment of
many of the farmers of Connecticut, during the
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 fam
ily may turn their services to profit. Every
familv of the most limited means ean raise the
mulberry and produce cocoons, and fora trifle
can procure a pamphlet which will give them
the necessary information of reeling, dec. The
jdarits ean he packed so as to be transported to
any part of the Uniou and will be furnished in
quantities to suit purchasers, and at very mod

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 hid fair to super
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
i matter as any other periodical of the present
! day. The diffusion of useful and wholesome
information, with a view to the cultivation of a
I correct knowledge of Polite Literature, is the
I 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 j. 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 he superfluous to enter into a
recital ot the same. The season is npproach
; ing, however, when the reading public are ex
-1 pected to make their selections for the next

The introduction of machinery in place ol
the tedious and unhealthy process of easting

founders, was by American ingenuity, a heavy
expenditure of time and money on the part of
our senior partner, first successfully accom
plished. Extensive use of the machine-cast
letter, has fully tested and established its su
periority in every particular, over those cast
bv the old process.

PHILADELPHIA SATURDAY COURIER
TITHE vast patronage which has been awar
-L ded the Courier is the best evidence of
its approval. It has the largest subscription
list in this country. It is the largest and chea
pest Family Newspaper ever issued in the U
nited States, containing articles in Literature,
Science and the Arts ; Internal Improvement,
Agriculture, in short every variety of topics
usually introduced into a public Journal. Giv
ing full accounts of sales, markets and news
of the latest dates.
Without interfering with the usual variety,
the Courier has presented ten jvolumes of the
most popular literature of the day within the
last year. This feature puts into the hands of
its patrons the most entertaining and popular
current literature, amounting each year to six
times the price paid for subscription—in addi
tion to the immense quantity of other matters
which appear in its columns. In the contin
uation of tliis feature we shall endeavor to pre
sent new and popular works with such expedi
tion that the publication cannot be anticipated
in other sources. In the future numbers we
shall draw from the pens of such writers as
D’lsraeli, Miss Mitford,
Capt. Maryatt, Leitch Ritchie,
Miss Landon, J. R. Buckstone,
Charles Diekins, Barry Cornwall,
Cornelius Webb, Douglass Jerrold,
Theodore Hook, Crofton Croker,
Thomas Campbell, Mrs. S. C. Half,*
Haynes Bayly, Mrs. Gore,
And, in short, from the whole range of the
current literature of Europe, with which our
arrangements will supply us at as early a mo
ment as they can be received in the country.
Besides we have the pleasure of numbering
among our contributors many of the most dis
tincruished writers of our country, from whose
pens ORIGINAL TALES. POEMS. SONGS,
NARRATIVES AND SKETCHES, will con
tinue to add interest to its columns.
The Architectural beauty of many of the
PUBLIC BUILDINGS of this city is prover
bial. Believing it will be acceptable to our
numerous patrons to be presented with EN
GRAVED ILLUSTRATIONS of those edi
fices, we are engaged in bringing out a com
plete series, which will form a collection that
may well be termed, THE LIONS OFPHIL
ADELPHIA. Where it is expedient, we ac
company the engravings with such descriptions
of size and iacts of history, as may be of inter
est.
The Courier is published at the low price of
Two Dollars. For this small sum subscribers
get valuable and entertaining matter each week
enough to fill a common book of two hundred
and fifty pages, and equal to fifty two volumes
a year, and which is estimated to be read, week
ly", by at least two hundred thousand people,
scattered in all parts of the country, from
Maine to Florida, and from the sea board to the
lakes.
This approved Family Newspaper is strictly
neutral in religious and political matters, and
the uncompromising opponent of quackery of
every kind.
[L7*As a trifling expression of our regard,
we shall print the whole scries of the Engra
ved Illustrations, at their completion, upon fine
white paper, in uniform style—forming a beau
tiful collection of Views, and present them to
such of our Country Brethren as may obligc
us by an insertion of the above advertisement.

RALLIES LITERARY OMNIBUS—
.YocrI and Important Literary Enterprise!
Words, Tales, Biography, Voyages, Travels,
Reviews, and the .Yctcs of the Day. It was
one of the great objects of “WaldTe s Library,
•‘to makegood reading cheaper, and to bring
Literature to every man’s door.” This object
lias been accomplished ; we have given to
hooks wings, and they have flown to the up
permost parts of our vast continent, carrying
society to tfre secluded, occupation to the lite
rary, information to all. We now propose still
further to reduce prices, and render the access
to a literary banquet, more than two iold 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, for less than Jour cents a
week, and to add. as a piquant seasoning to the
dish, a few columns of shorter literary matters,
and a summary of the news and events of the
day. We know, by experience and calcula
tion, that we can go still further in the matter
of reduction, and we feel, that there is still
verge enough for us to aim at offering to an
increasing literary appetite, that mental tood
which it craves.
The Select Circulating Library, now as ever
so great a favorite, will continue to make its
weekly visits, and to he issued in a form for
binding and preservation, and its price and*
form will remain the same. But we shall, in
the first week of January, 1537, issue a huge
sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers ot
America, but on very superior paper, also,fll
i nt icitli books, of the newest and most entertain-.
| ing, though, in their several departments of
Novels, Tales, Voyages, Travels, &c., select in
their character, joined with reading, such as
1 should fill a weekly newspaper. By this meth
i od, we hope to accomplish a great good ; to en
liven and enlighten the family circle, and to
j give to it. at at expense which shall be no con
sideration to any, a mass of reading, that, m
book form, would alarm the pockets of the pru
l dent, and to do it in a manner that the most
sceptical shall acknowledge “the power ol
concentration can no farther go.” No book,
which appears in Waldie’s Quarto Library, will
be published in the Omnibus, which will be an
entirely distinct periodical.
Terms. Waldie’s Literary Omnibus, will
! be issued every Friday morning, printed on pa
i per of a quality superior to any’ other weekly
: sheet, and of the largest size. It will contain,
i Ist. Books, the newest and the best that can
I be procured, equal every week, to a London
duodecimo volume, embracing Novels, Travels,
‘ Memoirs, &c., and only chargeable with ,\cws
\ paper postage.
2d. Literary reviews, tales, sketches, notices
jof books, and information from “the world of
letters,” of every description.
3d. The news of the week, concentrated into
i a small compass, but in a sufficient amount to
j embrace a knowledge of the principal events,
j political and miscellaneous, ol Europe and A
j inerica.
The price will be TWO DOLLARS to clubs
j of five subscribers, where the paper is forward
*ed to one address. The clubs ol two individ
uals, FIVE DOLLARS ; single mail subscrib
ers. THREE DOLLARS. The discount on
uncurrent money will be charged to the remit
ter ; the low price and superior paper, absolute
ly prohibit paying a discount.
[£j= On no condition will a copy ever be sent,
until the payment is received in advance.
As the arrangements for the prosecution of
this great literary undertaking, are all made,
and the proprietor has redeemed all his pledges
to a generous public for many years, no fear of
non-fulfilment of the contract can be felt. The
Omnibus will be regularly issued, and will
contain, in a year, reading matter equal in a
mount to two volumes of Rees’ Cyclopedia, for
the small sum mentioned above. Address (post
paid,) ADAM WALDIE.
