■yjfALDIES LITERARY OMNIBUS
Novel and Important Literary Enterprize!
Norris, Tales, Biography, Voyages, Travels,
llrriews, and the News of the Day. It was
one of the great objects of “Waldie'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 the 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 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, for less than four rents a
•tereh. 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 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
form will remain the same. But we shall, in
the first week of January, lci37, issue a huge
sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers of
America, but on very superior paper, also, fill
ed trith hooks, of the newest and most entertain
ing, though, in their several departments ol
Novels, Tales, Voyages,Travels, aVc., select in
their character, joined with reading, such as
should fill a weekly newspaper. By this meth
od, we hope to accomplish a great good ; to en
liven and enlighten the family circle, and to
give to it, at at expense which shall be no con
sideration to any, a mass of reading, that, in
hook 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 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
per of a quality superior to any other weekly
sheet, and of the largest size. It will contain,
Ist. Books, the newest and the best that can
he procured, equal every week, to a London
duodecimo volume, embracing Novels, Travels,
Memoirs, &c., and only chargeable with News
paper postage,
2d. Literary reviews, tales, sketches, notices
.of books, and information from "the world of
Jetters,” of every description.
3d. The news of the week, concentrated into
a small compass, but in a sufficient amount to
embrace a knowledge of the principal events,
political and miscellaneous, of Europe and A
mcrica.
The price will be TWO DOLLARS to clubs
of five subscribers, where the paper is forward
ed to one address. The clubs of 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.
[o= On no condition will a copy ever he 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

| PHILADELPHIA SATURDAY COURIER
THE vast patronage which has been awar
ded the Courier is the best evidence of
I its approval. It has the largest subscription
j list in this country. It is the largestand chea
! pest Family Newspaper ever issued in the U
; nited States, containing articles in Literature
i Science and the Arts ; Internal Improvement,
| Agriculture, in short every variety of topics
| usually introduced into a public Journal. Giv
j ing full accounts of sales, markets and news
of the latest dates. •
Without interfering with the usual variety,
t the Courier has presented ten of the
most popular literature of the day within the
j last year. This feature puts into the hands of
I its patrons the most entertaining and popular
; current literature, amounting each year to six
[ times the price paid for subscription—in addi
j l ' on to the immense quantity of other matters
! which appear in its columns. In the contin
| nation of this feature xve 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 wc
shall draw’ from the pens of such writers as
D Israeli, Miss Mitford,
Capl. Maryatt, Leitch Ritchie,
Miss London, J. R. Buekstone,
Charles Dickins, Barry Cornwall,
Cornelius Webb, Douglass Jerrold,
Theodore Hook, Crofton Croker,
Thomas Campbell, Mrs. S. C. Hall,
Haynes Bayly, Mrs. Gore,
And, in short, from the whole range of the ;
current literature of Europe, with which our j
arrangements will supply us at as early a mo- j
ment as they can be received in the country, j
Besides we have the pleasure of numbering •
among our contributors many of the most dis- j
tinguished 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 he 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 lie termed, THE LIONS OF PHIL
ADELPHIA. Where it is expedient, we ac
company the engravings with such descriptions
of size and lacts 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.
[pr Asa trifling expression of our regard,
we shall print the whole series 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 oblige '
us by an insertion of the above advertisement.
TIIE SOUTHERN MAGAZINE,
IS the name by which the new volume of the
“Bachelor's Button,” will be designated.
There will be no material change in its appear
ance. Each paper will contain about t)4 pages.
Efforts will be made to improve the quality ra
ther than increase tile quantity of the matter.
YVe do not wish to publish any tiling that
might be unreadable; and if we were to prom
ise an hundred pages, half of tin in 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 as they would be in New York.
This magazine lias not yet received enough
of patronage to sustain it; yet the Editor has
not despaired of being able to give it a linn
foundation. The effort to establish it lias, 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 tin
publication. YVe have now about six hundred.
These are confined to South Alabama, anil al
most exclusively to some half dozen towns
North Alabama has taken no interest and giv
en us no subscribers, with but two or three ex
ceptions; yet 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.
So far as we have betm able to learn, the
manner in which the Literary department of
this Magazine lias been conducted, has met
with general approbation. YVc have been com
plimented, publicly and privately. This gives
us great gratification; and we confidently prom
ise much improvement.
This prospectus will he 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 can promote the complete success
of this Magazine, by making very slight exer
tions. Ten per cent, will be allowed on all re
initiances by agents.
Letters addressed to the editor should be
post paid.
Terms. —The Southern Magazine will be
publishedjin the City of Mobile, on the first of
every month: the first number on the Ist of
January’, Price Five Dollars a year in
advance.
Subscribers can be furnished with the back
number*of the “Bachelor's Button.”
Pub haliers of newspapers friendly to our
success, will please insert the prospectus.

, PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
HPHIS 15 a monthly Magazine devoted chief
ly to Literature, but occasionally find
ing room also for articles that fall within tin
scope of Science ; and not professing an en
tire disdain of tasteful selections, though its
matter lias been, as it will continue to be, in
! tlip main, original.
\ Tarty Politics and controversial Theology.
jus far as possible,are zealously excluded. They
j are sometimes so blended with discussions in
j 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 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
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, impartiai. criticism, governed by
the views just mentioned, is one of the most
inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to
him who dors wish to discriminate.
Essays, and Ta i.ks, having in view utility
or amusement, j>r both — Historical sketc h
es—and Remi.vise en i es of events too minute
for History, yet elucidating it, aad heighten
ing its interest.—may be regarded as forming
the staple ol 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 fever, and soothe that irrita
tion. Vice and folly are rioting abroad :—They
should he 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 he set in
motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to in
crease their number ; so that the great enemy
of popular government may no longer brooJ,
like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of
our couutrj-. And to accomplish all these ends,
what more powerful agent can he employed,
than a periodical, on the plan of the Messenger;
il that plan be but carried out in practice ?
Tile South peculiarly requires aucU 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 r
No : for in wealth, talents, and taste, we may
justly claim at least ail cijualily with our breth
ren ; and a domestic institution exclusively
our own, beyond all doubt affords us. if xve
choose, twice (he leisure for reading and wri
ting, winch they enjoy.
It was from deep sense of this local want,
that tin- word Southern was engrafted on the
name ol 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
tin- North and South hound endearingly togeth
er forever, in the silken bands of mutual kind
ness and affection. Far from mediating hostil
ity to tlie North, lie has already drawn, and lie
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 auv
essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds
that now threaten the peace ot’ both, and to
brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fa
ternal love.
The Southern Litf.rary Messenger has
now reached the IMtli No. of its third volume.
How far 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 lie received for less than
a Volume, and must either begin with the cur
rent one—or may commence with Vol. I V r , the
first number of which will be issued on tlie Ist
January, 1~3':. The price is jfo per Volume.
which must be paid in all cases at the time of
subscribing. This is particularly adverted t»
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.

A New 5 ear, and a New 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 American Weekly Messenger is
published every Wednesday, on beautiful white
paper, of the largest class, at $2 per annum, or
ten subscriptions for jjßlrt:
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 oil its subscription lists!
which have been ever since constantly and
rapidly increasing, and now bid fair to super
cede in extent mid stability every other pub
lication which lias existed in the literary world.
It is generally conceded that the contents of
the Messenger embraces as much originml
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 J
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
Slates, it will he superfluous to enter into a
recital ol the same. The season is approach
ing, however, when the reading public are ex
pected to make their selections for tin- 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 of the Messenger
for 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
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 tin- Weekly Messenger and also
the Gentleman's Magazine, edited by XV. E.
Burton, Esq.
QJ’ Remittances from Clubs, to be entitled
to the full advantages of the liberal terms here
offered, must he made in sums of five’s and
ten’s of current Bank notes—any lesser a
niount. 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
the individual forwarding the sum required fir
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 of the 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 tile office. Address

MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS.
50,000 PLANTS of the Chincst* Mulberry
or Moras multicaul is, for sale. Os all the va
rieties of Mulberries for silk, this 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
i laborious. Fora number of years past it lias
been a regular and profitable employment of
I many ni the farmers of Connecticut.,during the
| 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 a fum
j ily may turn their services to profit.. Every
1 family of tin- most limited means can raise the
mulberry and produce cocoons, and fora trifle
can procure a pamphlet which will give them
I the necessary information of reeling. Ac. The
! plants can be picked so as to be transported to
any part of the lniou and will be furnished in

i.Y issuing a Prospectus for the publication ot
a paper, the undersigned will depart from a
usage more honored in the hr, ach, than in the
observance, and make no promises which it is
not his design to fulfil, "Tur. Experiment,”
after a trial of almost 1 2 months, has not failed in
i rceuring for the Editor, tile attention and pat
sonage desired; and it is confidently believed.
; in rendering to subscribers, at least an equiva
i lent for the pittance they contributed towards
i its support. Gratified for the encouragement
i manifested, desirous of making his little paper
j worthy the patronage of an enlightened and
generous public, the subscriber lias determined
i 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
1 will be afforded greater space for his own lucu
brations and those of correspondents, together
w ith Advertisements and judicious selections.
It may not lie 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

PROPOSALS
j For publishing, by subscription,a work to be
entitled
Tic,ret (i cor Tientsin.
- | HIIS will be, both a Grammar and Diction
; *- ary «,f Botany ; —presenting, first, Vegeta
ble Physiology, and, socoud, a minute and ac
curate disc •j; ~n -.f every plant yet discovered
'in Georgia, together with its medicinal or nox
ious proper; i s—its English name—itsemblem,
i language, Ac. Such a work is much needed,
nt this time, in nur Southern Institutions. We
| have no tex 1 hoi k in Botany, calculated to
reniier the science attractive. Such as we
! have, art- nothing more than a few disconnected
i tacts in Physiology, or a dry desc iption of a
tew leaves, loots, flowers, Ac. all tending to
excite disgust rather than taste. Students
should, as soon ns possible, he inducted into the
practical part ot the science—it is that onlj
which can inspire them with enthusiasm in the
pros cut mu ol their researches. YVc have nev
er known a profound botanist, made so, by
delving for months over pages tieating of sap,
alburnum, cambium, and the like. This work
will teach pupils, first, 1 in; names of the classes
auu orders in tin- Einucan system, the method
ol analysing flowers, and. proceed next, to the
.examining, collecting and arranging of them
j into an herbarium. A lore tor the science be
ing thus implanted, it. must end inll increase
and urge them on to further end further investi
: gate ms.
Wo intend that our work shall be, at once, a
text lu c k tor schools—a pleasing companion
for ladies m the boudoir and saloon—a useful
friend and companion for gentlemen in their
i travels, their daily rambles, Ac. Finally, it
.will be enriched with every species ofinforma
!l oui which can render such a work entertaining
aml In.drnetive.
\\ e solicit the assistance of scientific gentle
-1 men throughout the State, in famishing us with
1 information concerning the names, locality and
habits ol plantain t'u-ir immediate vicinity.—
i Such information will he gratefully and proper
| ly acknowledged.
Postmasters are requested to act as agents in
receiving and forwarding us subscriber's names,
! as early as the Ist. November.
The work will contain from 5 to 700 pages,
octavo, and be furnished to subscribers, in
boards, at .-s.i per copy, it will be issued dur
ing the next w inter, provided the number of
subscribers warrant the expense.
All Editors throughout the Southern States,
li .i ndiv to the diliiiffii.n of scientific knowledge,
i who will insert this notice, and forw’ard us a
copy of their paper, will be entitled to one copy
of the work. L. LATASTE,
