THE Richmond Academy will be open for
the reception of Students, on the first of
October. Every branch of literature is taught

preparatory schools; or which is necessary for
admission into any of the lower classes in the
University of Georgia. The most strict atten
tion is paid to the morals of the young gentle
men. And no young gentleman whose moral
character shall be such, as to have a deleterious
effect upon others, will be retained in the Aca
demy. Parents are, respectfully, requested to
inform themselves, with respect to the manner,
in which, the Academy is now conducted.
Good board can be had in the Academy,
where the pupils will be always under the
Teachers’ eyes, at $lO per month.

PROPOSALS
Foa publishing in Hamburg, s. c* a weekly
newspaper to be entitled
THE CAROLINA GALAXY,
and Commercial Advocate.
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.

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.

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

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. Burges,
and to be edited by Mr. James Haig—
That the Society regard such a
work, on account of its miscellaneous charac
ter, as an acquisition to our community, and as
well fitted for the instruction and entertain
ment of its readers.
“Resolved-, That the Society approve of the
undertaking—that they consider Mr. Haig as a
suitable person to be its editor, and that it be
recommended to the members of the Society,
and to all others, who may be so disposed, to
patronize the same,
“TlesaZred, That a copy of these resolutions
be handed to Mr. Haig, to be published with
his prospectus, should he deem it advisable.”

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.

ary Messenger” can with confidence assert is

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

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.
The Southern Spy will be published on a Roy;
al sheet with new type and press, at two dollars
and fifty cents in advance, and three dollars at
the end of the year. The first number will be
issued about the 25th of this month
