For the last threeor four weeks how ever, nothing further has been heard from him. A distressed mother would feel grateful to any person who would give information which might lead to his recovery. The said boy has black eyes, dark hair, is stout, and a good size for his age. He has a mark on one of his cheeks. Masters of vessels are cautioned against harbor ing, and all others from employing said boy.

DEVOTED TO LITERATURE, THE ARTS AND SCIENCES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC NEWS, POLITICS, COM MERCE AND AGRICULTURE.. By William 11. Prichard. THE manifest necessity of a paper of the above character in Hamburgh, must be ap parent to every one the least conversant with its peculiar happy location, growing popula tion and highly favorable and rapidly increas ing commercial facilities* It will, therefore, be our aim to endeavor to sustain and increase the character, and disseminate more extensive ly the many important advantages this town so eminently posseses to the State, and more im mediately to the adjacent country. In the above publication, we hope to be ena bled to present the useful with the entertaining —the utility of the political, commercial and agricultural concerns of our country, with the amusing and edifying gems of literary and sci entific intelligence which shall enrich and beau tify our columns. The literary department shall be unexcep tionable. The most sedulous care will be taken to exclude every article, original or selected, the least calculated to be obnoxious or prejudi cial to the minds or morals of our fair readers: and while it shall not contain A line, a word, a single thought, Which, dying, we would wish to blot, it will be our most ardent desire to render this portion of our paper valuable as well as amus ing: and we hope to be instrumental in incul cating many an instructive moral lesson from its perusal. ’ The political character of our paper will be, though but partially devoted to that subject, de cidedly republican, in the the strict original ac ceptation of that term. . The herald of those principles which are so inseparably identified with Constitutional Liberty and the rights of man, as explained by the Virginia and Ken tucky Resolutions, and their contemporaneous expositions, and as practically exemplified by the democracy of many of our States. The zealous advocate of State Rights, the separate Sovereignty and Independence of each State— and as a rational consequence, the right of a State to secede from the Union, at any time, or under any emergency, consistent with its hon or and the welfare of its people. We are opposed to the present lawless and despotic administration of the general govern ment, and to the heir apparent —the odious prin ciples of the Proclamation and the still more abominable Force Bill, and to every species of tyranny, usurpation or monopoly whatever. Fhe commercial department of our paper shall receive no inconsiderable portion of our time and attention. We will make such ar rangements as shall enable us to furnish the very latest news of the rise and decline of our great staple in European, as well as the most important markets of this country. A review of the principal articles of general consump tion in the Hamburg and Augusta markets, will be published weekly carefully corrected, together with such observations on those mar kets as may be deemed necessary. A portion of each paper will be devoted to Agricultural essays—and in a few words, the Galaxy and Advocate shall be the vehicle of disseminating every kind of useful and inter esting intelligence to its readers. It will be printed on a new and beautiful type, on fine whitepaper, of a super royal size—and neither time nor expense will be spared in its general arrangement and typographical execution. The first number will be issued in September, or on the first of October next. Thus much we promise in the circumscribed limits of a Prospectus, and we pledge ourself that nothing shall be remitted to its full and fi nal accomplishment. Terms.—Three dollars in advance, or four dollars if not paid until the expiration of the year. Advertisements will be inserted at the custom ary rates. Postmasters receiving this Prospectus, and favorable to the principles and undertaking of this paper, will be allowed ten per cent on all subscriptions received and forwarded to us, by acting as our Agents. All letters or other communications, until the above time, be directed, post paid, to Win. 11. Prichard, Augusta, Ga. publishing the above will confer a favor, which will be cordially reciprocated. June 16 71 MEDICAL college Os the State of South Carolina. A CHARTER was obtained at the session of the Legislature in 1832, with entirely new provisions, and a Board of Trustees, not medical men, is fully organized, with the fol lowing FACULTY: J. Edwards Holbrook, M. D. Professor of Anatomy, Fee, S2O John Wagner, M. D. Professor of Surgery 15 S. Henry Dickson, M. D. Professor Insti- tutes and Practice of Medicine, 15 Edmund Ravenel, M. D. Professor of Chemistry, Thomas C. Prioleau, M. D. Professor of Obstetrics, 15 Henry R. Frost, M. D. Professor of Ma- teria Mediea, 15 James Mol i.TiuE,jr. M. D. Professor of Phy- siology, 10 John Bellinger, M. D. Demonstrator, 10 Thus constituted, the College with a suita ble, and very commodious building, (formerly the Theatre) went into operation the last sea son, with a class of 104 Students, from various parts of the Southern Country. Os this num ber, there were 39 Graduates, and the Degree ad eundrm, was conferred upon three Grad uates of other Schools. Under these encouraging circumstances, the Faculty feel themselves called upon to redouble their exertions, and are convinced that ample opportunities are afforded foi the acquirement of a Medical Education, in all its details. The Anatomical and Surgical Museum which was quite ample the last year, will lie enriched by rare and useful specimens from France and Italy ; an order to the amount of 1,000 dollars having been forwarded early in the Spring, so that they may be expected in October. The nucleus of a Cabinet of Comparative Anatomy, and of Natural History has been laid, audit is expected, from the talents which are engaged, that it will ere long be filled with the objects of these most important and interesting subjects of human inquiry and research. An Infirmary has been established, which has amply realized the expectations of the Fac ulty. Here the students have had an opportu nity of seeing apractical illustration of the prin ciples and doctrines which are theoretically taught in the Lecture Rooms, and of being pre sent at such surgical operations as they* will in all probability, be called upon soon alter Grad uation, to perform. A considerable number were furnished by this arrangement the past year. An excellent opportunity is also afforded the Student of becoming acqninted with practical Anatomy, by the number of subjects furnished from the city. The healthiness of Charleston during the winter season, with its moderate cli mate mav be an inducement with many to re sort to this Institution for health, and an ac quaintance with this most important branch of study. The requisitions for a Degree, are similar to those of other Colleges: Good Boarding can be obtained in the City from 3 to 5 dollars per week, Graduation Fee, S3O. JAMES MOULTRIE, jr. M. D., Dean.

THEKSII'KERBOCKEHt OR THE NEW YORK MONTHLY MAGAZINE THIS Periodical having passed into the hands of the undersigned, will hereafter be issued with punctuality on the first of every month-, And in a style of typographical execu-’ tion, Which it is designed shall not be surpassed by any similar Periodical in this country. The proprietors will use their endevors to avoid the examples of their predecessors, in liberal prom ises and scanty fiilfilments. The work is here after todejiend, rather upon the character which it shall be able to acquire, than upon extraordi nary announcements of the prospective excel lence to which it is to arrive. The Editor will receive in its subversion the constants assist ance of his brother Willis Glylord Clark, of Philadelphia; and no exertions will be left un employed to render the work honorable to American Periodical Literature, and accepta ble to the public, whose patronage is only so far solicited as it shall seem to be deserved. The original papers—which it is designed shall be so varied, as to form a combination of the solid and useful with the entertaining and agree able-will be from literary pens of estabhshed reputation, (both at home and abroad,) in dif ferent cities and portions of the United States. In addition to the original papers, liberal space will be devoted, under the head of Liter ary Notices, to brief and candid reviews of new works, of proper distinction, with such extracts as may be necessary to add interest, or to evince the justice of the accompanying criticism A Monthly Compendium will also be given, comprising, in a succinct form, all events of importance which may have occurred during the month, with such remarks, or illustrative comments, as they may demand. The general intelligence of the several States—political, sta tistical, and domestic—arranged under their separate heads, will be embraced in this depart ment. Brief Obituary Notices of eminent per sons who may have deceased during the month, will likewise oe given. The Editor’s Table will be devoted to the familiar discussion of such local or geneal mat ters, as could not, with propriety, be classed under the above named heads. If an earnest desire to raise up a National Periodical which shall do honor to American Literature—if unwearied industry and exertion on the part of the conductors—the employment in its pages ot much of the best literary talent of the country—if the beauty of execution, and early and punctual transmission, can insure its success, it is confidently believed that the Knick erbocker Magazine will attain to general favor LEWIS GAYLORD CLARK, CLEMENT M. EDSON. June 25 SOUTHERN MAGAZINE. A Journal of Literature, Arts aud Sciences. WITH much diffidence, the subscriber yields to the urgent recommendations of a. number ot his friends, in offering to the en tirely unocupied Community of the South, the publication ol a monthly periodical under the above title. He is too well acquainted with the ill-success hitherto closing all similar under takings, not to anticipate considerable difficulty and opposition. The truth is not to be dis guised, however inexpedient its expression by an applicant for public favor, that there pre vails amongst us a censurable, aud as many are disposed to think, an almost insuperable in difference towards the cultivation of a purely democratic literature. The bold and haughty independence we assume and maintain on all other points, if in this respect it does not shrink from a competition with, is at least satisfied under an indolent reliance upon the taste and talent of others. Circumstances, moreover, have contributed to excuse, if not to favor this supineness. We shall not, wetrust, be accused of presumption on our own part, or of disre pect to our predecessors, in saying, that where in some cases, the latter have too largely drawn upon the intelligence and leisure of their read ers, and thus contracted the circle of their pat ronage, they have in others, with an over-san guine anticipation, omitted the necessary pre parations to ensure a vigorous and durable prosecution of their undertaking. We have a painful and mortifiying illustration of the form er error in the late premature discontinuance of one of the ablest periodicals of the country— and the inadequacy of unassisted individual en terprise to supply even the limited demand it met with, not merely in the quantity, but par ticularly in the quality and the variety required, has been too well tested by every successive and irretrievable failure heretofore. The work now proposed, is happily free from either of the dangers referred to. Entirely of a miscellaneous character, it will be addressed to every variety of taste, without exacting from its readers any farther attention than what their ordinary leisure hours may afford. At the same time, it will seduously endeavor to com mingle in an agreeable and compendious form the higher branches of the Arts and Sciences, with the lighter but not less valued effusions of the Taste and the Fancy. And in all this, it may well hope for success, from the talent and learning enlisted in its behalf. Delicacy, how ever, forbids a direct personal reference to the many distinguished individuals who have taken an interest in and arc pledged towards its sup port. It is now almost needless to say, that the SOI) I HERN MAGAZINE will consist en tirely of original matter in prose and verse, (to which contributions are respectfully invited,) embracing all subjects of general interest and exclusive of controversial divinity and party politics, accompanied with criticisms upon the productions oi the day, and notices of the most important passing events. JAMES HAIG. At a special meeting of the Literary and Philosophical Society convened on the Bth inst. a Committee consisting of Thomas S. Grimke, James H. Smith and William Peronneau Fin ley, Esqrs. appointed to consider the contem plated periodical to be edited by James Haig, Esq. a member, presented the following, which was unanimously adopted: “The Literary and Philosophical Society of South Carolina, having been informed that a monthly periodical embracing general litera ture and micellaneous information, is contem plated to be published by Mr James S.

SUSAN MILLfiR, Guardian Sept 1 wtd 163 PROSPECTUS OF A LITERARY PAPER TO BE PUBLISHED At ftIt'H MOND, VA. BY THOMAS W. WHITE. TO BE ENTITLED The Southern Literary Messenger. TO BE DEVOTED TO EVERY DEPARTMENT OF LITERA- THE FINE ARTS. IT is a remarable fact, that, in all the South ern portion of our Union, there is not one journal of a character exclusively literary.— Not even does “ the great State” of Virginia, with her two Universities and her three Colle ges, furnish her quota to the literature of the day. No one of us would be willing to admit that this results from want of literary taste, yet no one essays to cast off the reproach—for reproach it certainly is, that a department of literature, now occupying so conspicuous a station, should with us be entirely neglected; In the annals Os the republic of letters, the present may be distinguished as the era of “ ne ! .u Ca lit erat ure.” This circumstance, in truth, constitutes the literary world emphatical ly a republic.” Now, (as ever,) the truly emi nent occupy the loftiest stations; but now,also, e .? s gifted, though equally zealous worshipers ?•, ~ are not compelled “to hide theirdirtirtished heads, 11 in the awful pres ence of some Magog of literature, who main tains despotic and undisputed sway over the realms of intellect. J We shall not discuss the question whether or not this indicates st decline of literature It is however strongly characteristic of the a?e Mankind are now more engaged in the secarch after political truth, than in mere literary ele gancies and refinement. They are occupied in discovering their rights; in wresing them from hands which have so long unrighi ously with held them, and all demonstrating the grand principle, that they are capable of governing themselves. They have just arisen from a sleep of centuries; and, with mighty energy they at£ bendnig vvery thing to this momentuous’pur pose. ' ’ Literary excellence is therefore no longer the chief standard of renown. This is not literary excellence has descended in the scale of intellectual exertion, but because renown has now a noble and a loftier incentive. Literature from being a queen, has condescendad to be a handmaid—the handmaid of liberty. But it is not because literature is shorn of her dignity, or of her splendor; but because liberty ha? assum ed her thrown high above all other thrones. On the rna.n whose mind is purified from er ror, and raised above prejudice, by tha genial in fluence ol literary pursuits, rests the task ot fleeing his fellow man from the gloomy thral dorn ol ignorance, to which tyranny and cupidi him >aVe so sucees sfully subjected To effect this, he must not hesitate, or be dis couraged, because he is not in the front rank: he should rather exult in the reflection that he may co-operate with master spirits, in the comple te ot a noble work; that his labors will go a long with their, and will aid in accomplishing the glorious end of “redeeming, regenerating, and disenthralling” the human race. Such is now the “prize of the high calling” of litterature. Such is now the distinguished pre rogative of literay men of every rank. The periodical press is the lever by which the mass of society is to be urged to this great re sult. 1 ruth—science—literature—are no lon ger concentrated and shut up in books from all mt the favored few. Periodical journals carry the resuls ot philosophical investion and of litter ary research into every walk of life. They place them in the hands and before she eves of the ag riculturalist, the artizan and the laborer; and thus invigorate and enlighten,while they refresh their mind. As a literary journal performs so important a function in the present organization of society, it behooves him who presumes to undertakesueh a work, to bring to the undertaing a fixed deter mination to make it worthy the rank which it ought to occupy and end which it ought to fulfil. w, Publisher of “ The Southern Liter ary Messenger” can with confidence assert is the determination with which he regards the en terpnze before him. . It tallents can be commanded by money—and it unremitting dilligence and steady persever ance on his part will produce their ordinary re sitlts, then niaV he venture to assure all those whose regard for literature prompt them to look upon hts design with favor, that “ The Southern Literary Messenger” will be worthy of their pa tronage. 1 Ihe Southern Literary Messenger will em- subject within the range ofliterature and the fine arts; and that the scope of selection mav be as wide as possible, and iusure a body of matter always interesting, the best foreign, and allthe domstic reviews and other periodicals will be constantly at the disposal of the editorial de partment. In fine, no trouble or expense will be spared to render the publication such a one as an en lightened public will take pleasure in support ing. Conditions. The 1 Southern Literary Messenger” will be issueed once a fortnight. The first number to appear in the month of July. Each number to consist of 32 large super-royal octavo pages, neatly covered, (same size page and type as that oi the Farmer’s Register.) The paper to be of a superior quality. The subscription will be Five Dollars per an num, payable on the reception of the first num ber, or any time during the year. Payments may be made thro’ the mail, at the risk of the proprietor. Gentlemen who may procure four new subscribers, and transmit their year’s sub scription, shall be entitled to a fifth copy, for the current year, without additional charge. Gentlemen who may feel desirous to con tribute to the literary reputation of the State, are respectfully requested to favor us with commu nications on literary and scientific subjects. The postage will be cheerfully paid by the proprie- Jnly2B Dally Augusta THE necessity of a daily commercial paper in this city, at least during the busines sea son has become so apparent, that we will, with sufficient encouragement, on the first of October next begin the publication of such a paper. The favorable opinion and encouraging advice of many respected friends, urge us on to the enter prize. We can undertake it; and if once under taken, it shall be continued with persevereance and industry. But we have a right to expect a corresponding remuneration for the expense, la bor and attention, which will be required to ren der such a paper acceptable to its patrons. The Constitutionalist will be published day, from the Ist of October to the Ist of April —six months—and semi-weekly, from the Ist of April to the Ist of October—six months. The price per annum will be SB. And if we find du ring the business season, that the patronage will warrant it, we shall continue the paper daily through the year, at $lO per annum. The Daily Constitutionalist will be a com mercial paper. It shall contain the shipping news of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Bal timore, Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, New Orleans.and other ports in tneUnited States, with such other shipping intelligence of foreign countries, as can be obtained, of the earliest date and for which arrangements will bemade. A regular statement of all the principal domestic I and foreign markets will be given. All com-' inercial information will be promptly published, as well as the commercial regulations adopted either by foreign nations, with which the United i States are connected by commercial inter course, or by our own government. It will be the aim of the Editor to render the i paper useful and interesting to the merchant and planter. He flatters himself, therefore, that he will meet with that patronage which will be ne cessary to support such an undertaking, and which he will endeavor to deserve by his atten tion to his business, and the industry he will not fail to use in the mechanical execution of the pa per, and in its editorial management.

IT has so long been the custom of persons an nouncing i heir design to establish a Press to issue a Prospectus containing the principles which they intend to maintain, that a departure in the present instance Would hardly be pardon ed. The people have unquestionably the right to be informed, what path we design to travel, and to judge first of its propriety, and af terwards if there should be a deviation from the same. We Would therefore briefly state, that our object is to advocate and support to the ex tent oi our ability the doctrihes professed and practised by the Union Party of our State, be lieving them to the essential to the preservation oi our existence as a nation, and ine perpetua tion of our happiness as a people. These we believe to be generally known and understood by the citizens of our State, and indeed the pro per limit of a prospectus would preclude their being examined and explained in detail We are fully aware that professions made and not practised are worse than futile. If we should be found tergiversating in our course, we are of consequence amenable to our patrons and rea ders, and by them we are willing to be judged. Portions of the paper will be devoted to mis cellaneous matter, distinct from political, em bracing that which will be thought most useful and interesting. The Editor pledges himself im use every exertion to make his paper as respec table and interesting as lays in his potver.
