EDITORS
Mrs. Ann S. Stephens,

Assisted la/ main/ of the most Popular Hillers.
Sinre the publication of the May number, the
1 demand for the Ladies’ Companion has been I
unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine j
anticipations. At the commencement ot the j
volume an additional number of copies were .
printed, which was considered at the time ndc- j
quate to satisfy all the orders which might be I
received, and leave considerable number on (
hand for subsequent calls. The publisher is j
more than gratified in stating that the whole |
edition was nearly exhausted before the issuing ,
of the seventh number of the volume; and at j
this time but very few complete sets remain on
! hand, to supply the numerous orders which are
daily received from every section of the Unit
ed States.
In consequence of this great unforeseen in
crease of new subscribers, he has determined to
double the number of impressions for the sub
sequent year ; while lie most gratefully appre
ciates the unproedented encouragement ex
tended to the Ladies’ Companion, and at the
same time he begs to assure the readers of the
magazine and the public in general, that it is
| his ardent resolution to meet it with a corres
| ponding liberality on his part to merit its con
| tinuance.
j Splendid Steel Enormi.nos by our best
artists, accompany each number—illustrated
j by Talcs and spirited Sketches—winch will, as
, heretofore, continue to he magnificent and far \
I superior to those published in any other ma» , a- [
j zine in America.
! The J.adies’ Companion contains a larger]
i/nantity of reading than any other magazine J
issued in this country, and its subscription !
price is only three dollars a year, while the urcat
combination of talent secured for the coiuin<r
year will render it unequalled by any otlier
periodical.
Its Literari Ciiahawkr ! Will under- I
go considerable change, as the publisher of
the Ladies’ Companion, in order to show his '
appreciation of the public favor already extend- 1
ed to him so liberally, has secured the aid ot !
Mrs. Ann 8. Stephens,
late Editor of the “Portland Magazine,” and
author of a series of the most beautiful and I
popular tales ever presented to an American !
public. No lady possessing greater variety of j
talent, or better calculated to aid in conducting i
a ladies' magazine, could have been selected '
from the galaxy of female genius which is the
glory of our country.
The Music it. Department, is under the
supervision of Mr. J. SVatson, whose qualifica
tions for the task are too well known to require
our testimony.
This department of the Ladies’ Companion
lias ever commanded a large share of attention,
nnd has been looked upon with no little inter
est by its readers, and more especially the La
dies, whom the publisher is in the highest de
gree anxious to please. It will continue to hi'
a subject of more than usual cure to him, and
to the Professor under whose supervision it is
j placed, to make that portion of the magazine
I allotted to Musii , more than ever deservimr of
j the countenance of every lover of music. It
} lias ever been and will continue to be the de-
I sire to have all pieces of .Music printce! correct
ly and free front errors.
The Work in General. Over every de
partment an equally careful supervision Avill
he strictly exercised by the Editors, and all ap
propriate expenditures will ho liberally bestow
ed, as it is the design ol the publisher, with the
aid of his contributors and the advice of his
triends to make the Ltulits' Com pa man distin
guished for the beauty am/ accurtcy of its typo
grnjdt y—the rariety uitil high tout of its literari/
jat tides — the i/iialtty and rtiluc of its inusir — and
the unequalled splendor of its Piitoriai. Em-
B Et.I.ISIIM KM s.
It is the determination of the publisher to use
every means to maintain the superiorly’ which
| the Ladies Companion lias obtained. For four
years he has steadily pursued a course of im
provement, and he flatters himself that his pres
sent facilities are smell as to give the Ladies'
Companion eminent advantages over all other
publications of its character.
From the foregoing it will be perceived that
the Ladies’ Coaii-anion embraces every de
partment within the range of lit Ilea-Letters and
the Fiiu .li t* ; and no exertions or expense will
he deemed too great to render the work equal
to any other extent. The Haltering and gener
al testimonials of nearly every eotemporary
journal in the United States, and in fact. many
| nil the other side of the Atlantic, hove strongly
j asserted the undeniable claims of the Ladies'
| Companion to the support of the public gener
ally. Tlitrc is uo irorh (hut gins its n oth is
such a great return for their subscript ion.
The Reive Artici.es will all be published
during the year. These articles will comprise
the successful candidates for the premiums of

literary gentlemen in August last.

Efforts will be made to improve the quality ra

We do not wish to publish any thing that
might be unreadable; and if we were to prom

I js now larger than the subscription price war

twice as much as they would be in New York.
Tiiis magazine has not yet received enough
of patrorffige 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 ol* 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 half dozen towns
North Alabama lias taken no interest and giv
en ns no subscribers, with but two or three ex

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.!
rpillS is a monthly Magazine devoted chief- i
X- ly to Li i KitATCRE, but occasionally find- !
mg room also for articles that fall within the:
scope of Science ; anil not professing an on- I
tire disdain of tasteful selections, though its j
matter has been, as it will continue to he, in
the main, original. ,
Parly Politics and controversial Theology.
as 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 : but whenever that happens, they are in- \
ridrntnl. only; not primary. Theyjjare 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
i are embodied in the works reviewed, —to direct
j 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
i student, impartial criticism, governed by
j the views just mentioned, is one of the most
, inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to
1 him who thus tt ish to discriminate.
Essays, and Tales, having in view utility
or amusement, or both— Historical sketch
es—anil Reminiscences of events too minute
for History, yet elucidating it. aau heejliten
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.
I The times appear, for several reasons, to dc
! inn ml sueli a work—and not one alone, hut
: many. The public mind is feverish and irri-
I tuted still, from recent political strifes : —The
; soft, assunsive influence of Literature is need
j ed, to allay that lever, and soothe that irrita
tion. Vice and folly are rioting abroad : —They
j should be driven by indignant rebuke, or lash
ed by ridicule, into their fitting haunts, lgno
! ranee lords it over an immense proportion of
> our people : Every spring should he set in
| motion, to arouse the enlightened, and t" in
-1 crease their number ; so that the great enemy
of popular government may no longer brood,
i like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of!
our country. And to accomplish all these ends,
i yvhat more powerful agent can be employed,
J than a periodical, on the plan of the Messenger;
if that plan be but carried out in practice r
. The Soi ti! peculiarly requires such an a
! gent. In all the L'nion, south of Washington,
there are but two Literary periodicals ! North
ward of that city, there are probably at least
! tyventy-five or thirty- 1 Is this contrast justified
i by the yvealth. the leisure, the native talent, or
| flu- actual literary taste, of the Southern peo- I
| pie, compared w ith those of the Nolhern ? j
[ No : for in yvealth, talents, and taste, yy e may !
; justly claim at least an equality with out breth-.
ri ii ; and a domestic institution exclusively !
lour own, beyond all doubt affords us, if we j
j chouse, twice the leisure for reading and yvri-.
I ting, which tlu-y enjoy.
j It yvas from deep sense of this local yvant, '
J that the word Soi tiit.k.x yvas engrafted on the i
I name of this periodical : and not with any- He- 1
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 I
j er forever, in the silken bands of mutual kind-I
, ness and Far from mediating hostil- j
! it>J to tile North, he lias already drawn, and he .
j hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest
matter thence : and happy indeed yvill lie deem '
I himself, should Ins pages, by making each re
j gum knoyv the other better, contribute in any j
l essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds
I that now threnten the peace of both, and toj
i brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fa-1
I ternal love.
j The SorrnKKN Literary Messenger has
now reached the l'ith No. of its third volume. I
! How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered, j
iis not for the Editor to say. He believes, horv- 1
j ever, that it fails not further short of them. |
than human weakness usually makes Practice '
fall short of Theory.

THE NEW YORKER.
ON the 24th day of March, 1838, the sub
scribers commenced the Fifth Volume
of their journal, both Folio and Quarto edition.
No endeavors have thus far been spared to ren
der it worthy the patronage and esteem of the
public, and if corresponding spirit will' animate
our future exertions. Recent arrangements
have been effected, securing an accession of
talent and energy in the editorial conduct of
the work, and insuring greater variety as well
as strength in this department of the enter
prise. It lias been deemed a lesson of experi
ence that the union of all the branches of edits
orial labor, in a work so comprehensive as ours
in the hands of a single individual—who is
thus compelled to pay simultaneous arid un
ceasing attention to Literature, Politics, For
eign Affairs, Domestic Occurrences, and every
subject of interest—is not so well calculated
to secure the highest efficiency in these vari
ous departments us a system embraces a partial
though not absolute division of intellectual la
bor. Under this conviction, the active assist-
I ance as well as counsel of a gentleman favora
j bly known in the higher walks of Literature,
I have been secured for the ensuing year, and
j that portion of the paper more especially known
as Literary, will be placed under his charge,
j The political department, with a general su
j pervision of the entire work, will remain,with
j him who has hitherto been known to the pub
: lie us the editor of the work. The City and
Foreign Department will devolve more espe
cially upon Dr. Eldridgc, who xvi 11 also lend
! hia aid in advancing the literary reputation of
the paper. It is belived by this arrangiuent u
more complete and effective knowledge of the
subjects treated of will he insured, while a
more real and palpable variety—a variety of
manner as well as matter—will result to our
journal and its readers
Os the general character of The New York
er it is unnecessary to speak, since we do noj
propose to change that which it has borne from
its establishment. Circulating for the last two
years from (i.(M)O to iI.OUO copies per week,
through every State and city, and nearly every
county, in the Union —it cannot be presumed
unknown to the educated and intelligent. To
those who have not hitherto made its’acquaint
ance, it may be proper to state that it is charac
terized by two objects: the one of combining
thi' greatest practicable amount of useful and
elevating information with the highest general
interest; the other, of disseminating truth so
far as possible divested of the jaundice of prej
udice and tlie cunt of party. In short, our
motto is impartiality, as distinguished from the
support ot this or that party, clique, or faction,
whether in literature or polities. Jn conform
ing to thisjiulline, great care is taken against
falling info the pernicious error—more fatal
than the one we oppose—of suppressing or
withholding important truth because it has
been made the theme of partisan conflict- In
regard to literature, we shall freely express our
oyvii opinions, but accord a fa.r hearing to
whatever may stand opposed to them. In poli
ties. our strictures on public men and measures
and political doctrines will evincq a freedom
tempered at all times by courtesy; and it will
be our untiring aim to exhibit the views of all
parties and sects, as set forth by their leaders
and oracles. In this manner, we hope to ren
der our journal a more lucid and perfect histo
ry of the political contests of the- times than
can fairly he expected from any partisan paper.
A concise account ot all political movements —
conventions, nominations, Ac.—will be .riven,
as well as of the results of all elections and ta
llies of the popular votes cast therein. But
without entering further into particulars, we
may say that we shall endeavor to publish such
a journal as shall be deemed inferior in merit
and scope to no weekly periodical; and we
hope to render it popular without emptyimr in
to it whole Novels, Annuals and Jest-Books,
and to win readers and patrons without offer
| ing them a bribe of a dozen romances as a temp
| tatiou.

TO OUR PATRONS AND THE PUBLIC.
The great commercial revulsion of last year,
and the ruinous derangement, of tile currency
consequent thereon, combined with the great
inconvenience to which we were subjected by
the suppression of Small Notes, absolutely
forced upon us an enhancement of our price,
originally too lorv for such a paper as yve have
endeavored to present. These evils have in
part ceased; yve trust they will soon cease alto- |
getlier. I nder that impression, we now make
tile following modifications of our. terms of
subscription, viz; for our Quarto edition. Three
Dollars and a Half in advance. Five Dollars
for a year and a half, three copies a year for
Ten Dollars, or five copies a year for' Fifteen

PROPOSALS
For publishing, by subscription, a tcork to be
entitled
Flora Gcorgi ettsis.
THIS will be, both a Grammar and Diction
ary of Botany ; —presenting, first, Vegeta
ble Physiojogy, and, second, a minute and ac
curate description of every plant yet discovered
in Georgia, together with its medicinal or nox- 1
ious properties—its English name—its emblem,
language, Ac. Such a work is much needed,;
at this time, in our Southern Institutions. We j
have no text book in Botany, calculated to j
render the science attractive. Such as we ,
have, are nothing more than a few disconnected
facts in Physiology, or a dry desc iption of a j
few leaves, roots, flowers, Ac. 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 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 teacli pupils, first, the names of the classes
and orders in the Linnean system, the method
of analysing flowers, and, proceed next, to the
examining, collecting and arranging of them
into an herbarium. A lure for the science be
ing thus implanted, it must and will increase,
and urge them on to further nnd 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 Yvork 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 in their immediate vicinity.—

AND GARDENERS.
C't R. GARRETSON, has removed his
Tm wholesale and retail Agricultural and
Garden Seed Whorehouse, to Flushing, L. 1.,
Ni ' w 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
under liis personal attention or direction, or
where it is necessary to import from Europe,
they arc 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 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, Ac. They are usually supplied
by the pound or bushel, and will afford a profit
| ol 1()0 per cent, or more, at the New York re
; tail prices. For convenience they can be neat
j ly papered and labelled anil assorted into boxes
I ( or put up in strong papers, thereby saving the
j expense ot box) eacli suitable fora family gur
j den, which will he supplied at from $1 to §25
—the latter being sufficient to crop a garden
of one acre. Or they can be put into 6 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 he charged so as to allow- a
profit ofßo 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- beet 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, Ac. Ac. Also, Agri
cultural Implements of Husbandry and Garden
Pools ol every description. Also, Fruit and
Ornamental Trees and Herbaceous Flowering!

foreign countries and at home, the finest agri- j
cultural seeds, all of which can be furnished in !
large quantities, and w-liere the purchase is ;

: eminently entitled to preference, and since its
introduction into France seems destined to re

ry for the nourishment of silk v.t-rms, such is
its superiority over all others. The tree is
■ beautiful and of a rapid growth, and yvill thrive
j "Ol 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 ot silk worms. The raising of silk is
; as easy as the raising of wheat and much less
j laborious. For a number of years past it has
j been a regular and profitable employment of
many oftlie farmers of Connecticut, during the
earlj- 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 wot' essentially aid in supporting a 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 trifle
can procure a pamphlet which will give them
the necessary information of recline. Ac. The

TO PRINTERS.
y WHITE & WM. HAGER, respectfully
yt . inform the Printers of the United States
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 be
able to give satisfaction to all who may favor
them with their orders. J
Tlie introduction of machinery in place of
tlie 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 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
by the old process.
The letter foundry business will hereafter
be carried on by tlie parties before named, tin
der the firm of White, Hager A Cos. Their
Specimen exhibits, a complete series, from l
Diamond to Sixty-four Lines Pica. The Book
