The first number of the Georgia Republican will be issued, by us, at Milledgeville, on the second Tuesday in September, the present year. It will be printed once a week, and on a large super-royal sheet:—not in ferior, in point of size, to any in the state.

(£/’ Subscriptions receiicd at the office of the Darien Gazette, DARIEN, (GA.J MONDAY, AUGUST 30, 1819. To the Printers of the United States , tIF.NTI.EMEN —In presenting a list of new prices * of types, some explanatory remarks may be useful The former prices were fixed during a period in which the raw materials were dear, and not easily to be procured, and it is presumed that they had some claim to be considered moderate, as in i(h2. Type were more than three per cent lower in Philadel phia than in London; and no advance was made on those prices, during the late war, although existing circum stances would have justified the measure. It was con sidered that an advance would he an actual Ibss to the printers, as the competition in the printing business bad, before that period, arrived at such a point, that the public were supplied with printing, at nearly the mini mum; and also, that it was probable the prices ot types would continue some time after the return of peace, and recompense for any advantage that was given up. This has taken place. For some time past, types have been lowered in val ue, but not in price. They have been sold on long and frequently uncertain credit, which produces, to the sel ler all the effects of reduction of price whilst to the prin ter who pays it is of comparatively little benefit. All the advantage is in favor of those who promise, but do not perform, as in truth they get types for nothing, and the solvent printers pay for them. Another objection to this mode of reducing price is, that it absorbs the seller’s funds, and, no matter how industrious or frugal he may be, subjects him to all the inconveniences of poverty* Men who possess talents, economy, industry and hon or, will sometimes lack money. The characters who have just claims to those attributes, will rarely be at a loss for friends, and will enter on business with a more favorable prospect of success, when assisted by a mod erate, than by an extended credit, which is equally with in the reach of a rival, who, with an ardent disposition for speculation and adventure, may have but doubtful claims to reputation for prudence. In order to leave no ground for complaint, it is to be understood that all purchasers, since the first of April, who comply with the new terms, will be entitled to ben efit by the new prices. Presuming on the long Intimacy which has subsisted between you, gentlemen, and this establishment, I re quest you will give this an insertion in your papers. Your’s respectfully, JAMES RONALDSON.

Niles’ Register has been published at Baltimore since September, 1811, and perhaps, no publication is sues from the American press that is more generally read, It is received in every state and territory of the union, taken and preserved in all the great departments of the general government; and complete sets of the work are furnished to all the foreign ministers of the Uniied States, It is oftentimes quoted in our courts of law, and to be found in many public libraries. A num ber of copies regularly transmitted to Europe, South-Aniferica and the West-Indies. The public documents contained in this work would cost, if purchased separately, more than twice the a mount that is demanded for it per annum; but 30 much other matter is got into it that the documents, perhaps, do not generally occupy a third part of a volume. It is a history of men and things, and the most extensive book of reference ever published in any country—useful as to the past, and agreeable and interesting for the present and future. Its politics are of the old republican school—but strik ing only at first principles, men are not regarded. The chief purpose of all its original articles, which are nu merous, is to raise up a national character, encourage home industry and support other great interests of the people. These objects are fearlessly pursued. The Register has received the most flattering sanction of a large number of the principal characters in the United States, and a volume of approbatory letters, from high and honorable men, might be published if it were necessary; TERMS, Btc; Julies’ tiegister is published at Baltimore every Satur day, and immediately transmitted; being securely pack ed, to any post-office in the union; or, if preferred, it will be delivered in volumes. The price is five dollars a year, payable always in ad vance. Numbers lost or damaged in the mail (which does not often happen) are gratuitously supplied, the application therefor being made without expense to the editor, that gentlemen may preserve their files complete. The volumes commence in March and September In every year —being two volumes in a year; each of which is furnished with a title page and index. Files from the beginning may Tie had as follows: For the 15 vols. or 7J years, from Sept. 1811, to March, 1819, at $5 per annum; 37 50 extra supplements to vols. 5,7, 8, 9 and 15, 500 General Index to the first series, or 12 vols. of the work, 3 00 45 50 Advance year, 5 00 50 50 If desired bound—for binding the 15 vol 9. and general index, 16 vols. at 87§ per vol. 14 00 $64 50 Files, in sheets, will be sent to any post-office, at the cost of the purchaser and risk of the editor, —if bound, they cannot be so sent, but will be shipped sos most of our principal sea ports, at the cost of the editor, but at the risk of the purchaser.
