GR. GARRETSON, lias removed his I
• wholesale and retail Agricultural and,
Gor<|c& Seed Whorehouse, to Flushing, L. 1.,
New York, where he intends dealing exten
sively in *hf above business, and will be at all
tines enabled to furnish dealers and others with
every article in bis line of business. And as
the greater part of his stock of Seeds is raised
under 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 fanner 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
of 100 per cent, or more, at tlie New York re
tail prices. Forconvenience 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 fora family gar
den, which will be supplied at from $1 to ,fi2.>
—the latter being sufficient In 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
confident they will be served with none but ar
ticles of the very best quality.
The Proprietor has further to state, that lie
is enabled to furnish all kinds of Books on Ag
riculture, Horticulture, Floriculture, Aboricul
ture, Rural Economy, Ac. Ac. Also, Agri
cultural Implements ofllusbandry 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 lie 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
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, and on this, and every other subject,
the suggestions of correspondents will receive
the fullest consideration.
MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS.
60,000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry
or Morus 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
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 fain
tly may turn their services to profit. Every
family of the most limited means can raise the
mulberry and produce cocoons, and for a trifle
esn procure a pamphlet which will give them
the necessary information of reeling, «Vc. The
plants can be 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
erate rates. Nov. 16
PROPOSALS
For publishing , by subscription, a u-ork to be
entitled
flora Ucorsiiensis.
THIS will be, both a Grammar and Diction
ary of Botany ; —presenting, first, Vegeta
ble Physiology, and, second, a minute and ac
curate description of every plant yet discovered
in Georgia, together with its medicinal or nox
ious properties—its English name—its emblem,
language, At c. Such a work is much needed,
at this time, in our Southern Institutions. We
have no text book in Botany, calculated to
render the science attractive. Such as we
have, are nothing more than a few disconnected
facts in Physiology, or a dry desc iptinn of a
few leave*, roots, flowers, Ac. all tending to
excite disgust rather than taste. Students
should, as soon as possible, be inducted into Un
practical part of the science—it is that only
which can inspire them with enthusiasm in the
prosecution of their researches. We have nev- 1
er known a profound botanist, made so, by i
delving for months over pages treating of sap.'
alburnum, cambium, and tin- like. This work
will teach pupils, first, the names of the classes
and orders in the Linnean system, tin- method
of analysing flowers, and, proceed next, to tin
examining, collecting and arranging of them
into an heniarium. A lore for the science be
ing Urns implanted, it must and iritl increase,
and urge them on to further and further investi
gations.
We intend that our work shall be, at once, a
textbook for schools—a pleasing companion j
for ladies in the boudoir and saloon—a useful j
friend and companion for gentlemen in their !
travels, their daily rambles, Ate. Finally, it j
will be enriched with every species of informa- !
tion which can render such a work entertaining '
and instructive. '
Me solicit the assistance of scientific gentle
men throughout the State, in furnishing us witli
information concerning the name*, locality and
habits ot plants in their immediate vicinity-
Such information will be gratefully and proper

! Since the publication of the May number, the
demand for the Ladies' Comi-anion has been
unprecedented and In-yond the most sanguine
anticipations. At the commencement of the
volume an additional number of copies were
printed, which was considered at the time ade
quate to satisfy all the orders which might In
received, and h ave considerable number on
hand for subsequent calls. The publisher is
more than gratified in stating that the whole
edition was nearly exhausted before the issuing
of the seventh number of the volume; and at
this time hut very few complete sets remain on
hand, to supply the numerous orders which are
daily received from every si ction of the Unit
ed States.
In consequence of this great unforeseen in
crease of new subscribers, lie has determined to
double the number of impressions for the sub
sequent year ; while lie most gratefully appre
ciates the unprecdeiited 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-
Imunncc.

J superior to those published in any other niaga

I The Ladies' Companion contains a larger
[quantity of reading than any other magazine
j issued in this country, and its subscription
: price is only three dollars a year, while the great
j combination of talent secured for the coming
i year will render it unequalled by any other
I periodical.

Mas. Ann S. Stem-iiens,
late Editotof the “Portland Magazine,” and
author of a series of the most beautiful and
popular tales ever presented to an American
public. No lady possessing greater variety of
talent, or better calculated to aid in conducting
a ladies’ magazine, could have been selected
irom the galaxy of female genius which is the
glory of our country.
The Musical Dkpaktmi:x r, is under the
supervision of Mr. J. M'atson, whose qualifica
tions for the task are too well known to require
our testimony.
This department of the Ladies' Companion
has ever commanded a large share of attention,
and lias been looked upon with no little inter
est liy its readers, and more especially the La
dies, whom the publisher is in the highest do- 1
gree anxious to please. It will continue to be
a subject of more than usual care to him, and '
to the Professor under whose supervision it is
placed, to make that portion of the magazine
allotted to Music, more than ever deserving of ‘
tlie countenance of every lover of music. It
lias ever been and will continue to be the de
sire to have all pieces ot -Music printed correct

partment an equally careful supervision will
be strictly exercised* by the Editors, and allap- (

aid of his contributors and the advice of his
friends to make the Imdies Companion distin- 1

articles—the quality and ruluc of its music and i
the unequalled splendor of its* Pictorial Em- 1

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 n course of im
provement. and he Hatters himselfthat his pres
sent facilities are such as to give the Ladies'
Companion eminent advantages over all other
publications of its character.
From the foregoing it will be perceived that
the I.aoies' Companion embraces every de
partment within the range of Belles-Lettres and
the Fine .irts ; and no exertions or expense will
be deemed too great to render the work equal
to any other extent. The Hattering and go ier

PROSPECTUS
or the !
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
THIS is a monthly Magazine devoted chief- i
ly to Literature, but occasionally find- j
ing room also for articles that fall within the
I scope of Science ; and not professing an en
j tire disdain of 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 in
'literature or in moral science,otherwise unob
jectionable, as to gain admittance for tlie sake
'of the more valuable matter to which they ad
j here : but whenever that happens, they are in- .
j cidfntnl, only; not primary. They.arc dross.
! tolerated only because it cannot well be ser- '
ved from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor- j
porated.
Reviews, and Critic ai. Notices, occupy,
their due space in the work : and it is the Ed- j
i 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 (
j the reader’s attention to books that deserve to
■ lie 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 tlu-ir 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
i him who does wish to discriminate.
Essavs, and Talks, having in view utility'
|or amusement, or both— Historical sketch-I
| I:s —and Reminiscences of events too minute
I 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
I growing poetical taste and talents of our coun
t r y.
The times appear, for several reasons, to de
: uiand such a work—and not one alone, but
| many. The public mind is feverish and irri-
I tilted 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 abroid : —They
■ should be driven by indignant rebuke, or lash
ed by ridicule, into their fitting hauits. Igno
rance lords it over an immense proportion of
! our people : Every spring shoulc be set in
i motion, to arouse the enlightened,and to in
| crease their number ; so that the g-eat enemy
of popular government may no longer brood,
' like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of
! our country. And to accomplish all these ends,
j what more powerful agent can he employed,
! than a periodical, on the plan of the Messenger;
if that plan be but carried out in practice ?
i The South peculiarly requires such an a
i gent. In all the Union, south of Wisliington,
there are hut two Literary periodicals ! North
ward of that city, there are probably at least
twenty-five or thirty 1 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 Notliern ?
No : fur ip wealth, talents, and taste, we may
.justly claim at least an equality with oulr breth
! ren ; and a domestic institution exclusively
our own,beyond all doubt affords us, if we
I choose, twice the leisure for reading and wri
{ ting, which they enjoy.
It was from deep sense of this local want,
i that the word Southern was engrafted on tlie
' name of this periodical : and not with »ny dc
■ 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
ur forever, in the silken hands 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 liis choicest
j matter thence : and happy indeed will he deem
himself, should his pages, by making each re
] gion know tlie other better, contribute in any
; essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds
l that now threaten the peace of butli, and to
i brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fa
! ternal love.
The Southern Literary Messenger has
now readied the 10th No. of its third volume.
How far it lias 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. I
than human weakness usually nukes Practice \
fall short of Theory.
No subscription will be received for less than
a Volume, and must either begin vith the cur-!
rent one—or may commence with Vol. IV, the !
first number of which will be issued on the Ist'
January, 1836. The price is §!.'> per Volume,
which must be paid in all cases in the time of,
subscribing. This is particularly adverted to '
now, to avoid misapprehension, or future mis- '
understanding—as no order will hereafter hot
attended to. unless accompained with the price I
of subscription. THOMAS W. WHITE. ;

TIIE NEW YORKER. i
ON the 24th day of March, 1638, the sub- J
scribers commenced the Filth Volume !
of their journal, both Folio and Quarto edition. I
No endeavors have thus far been spared to ren- '
der it worthy the patronage and esteem of the
public, and a 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 1
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 edit- !
orial labor, in a work so comprehensive as ours 1
in the hands of a single individual—who is !
thus compelled to pay siinultanuiug and un
ceasing attention to Literature, Tolitics, 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 as a system embraces a partial
though not absolute division of intellectual la
bor. Under this conviction, the active assist
ance as well as counsel of a gentleirlan favora
bly known in the higher walks of Literature,
have been secured for the ensuing year, and;
that portion of the paper more especially known '
as Literary, will be placed under liis charge.
Tlie political department, with a general su
pervision of the entire work, will remain with
him who has hitherto been known to the pub
lic as the editor of the work. The City and
Foreign Department will devolve more espe
cially upon Dr. Eldridge, who will also lend
liis aid in advancing the literary reputation of
the paper. It is belived by this arranginent a
more complete and effective knowledge of the
subjects treated of will be insured, while a
more real and palpable variety—a variety of
manmras 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 not
propose to change that which it has borne from
its establishment. Circulating for the last two
years from 0,000 to 9,000 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
the greatest practicable amount of useful and
| elevating information with the highest general
i interest; the other, of disseminating truth so
I far as possible divested of the jaundice of prej
-1 udice and the cant of party. In short, our
motto is impartiality, as distinguished from the
support of this or that party, clique, or faction,
whether in literature or politics. In conform
ing to this outline, great care is taken against
tailing into the pernicious error—more fatal
i than tlie one we oppose—of suppressing or
I withholding important truth because it has
] been made the theme of partisan conflict. In
1 regard to literature, we shall freely express our
' own opinions, but accord a fa.r hearing to
| whatever may stand opposed to them. In poli
tics, our strictures on public men and measures
j and political doctrines will evince a freedom
! tempered at all times by courtesy; and it will
j 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 be expected from any partisan paper.
A concise account of all political movements —
conventions, nominations, Ac.—will be given,
as well as of the results of all elections and ta
bles 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 emptying in- i
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- 1
tation.
Fhe New Y orker is published in two forms—
the Folio, or the common newspaper form, ev
| cry Saturday morning, on a large imperial
, sheet, at Three Dollars per annum, or Five Dol
lars for two copies. Asa further inducement
to uniting in subscriptions, five copies will he
i sent for Ten Dollars remitted absolutely in ad
vancc, and any larger number in proportion.
1 he Quarto edition is issued every Saturday
J evening, on a larger and finer sheet, intended
j expressly for binding. Each number contains
j sixteen large pages ot three columns each, in-
I eluding a page ot popular Music, and exclud
j ing advertisements. It forms two ample vol
! "mes of 432 pages each, per annum, and is af
' forded at Four Dollars a year. Three copies.
