WEBIOiT NEWSPAPER TO BB ENTITLED THE CAROLINA GALAXY, and Commercial Advocate. DEVOTED TO LITKRaTORB, THE ARTS AND SCIENCES, FOKBION AND DOMESTIC NEWS, POLITICS, COM MDIICE AND AGRICULTURE.. By William H. 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 tho 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 dud 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, ahd 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 welfarejof 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 white paper, 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 fa vorable to the principles and undertaking of this paper, will be allowed ten per cent on all subscriptions received and forwarded to ns, by acting as our Agents. All letters or other communications, until the above time, be directed, post paid, to H’iw. H. Prichard, Augusta, Ga. publishing the above will confer a favor, which will be cordially reciprocated. June 16 71 MEDICAL COLI.EG H 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 tho fol lowing FACULTY: J. Edwards Holbrook, M. D. Professor of Anatomy, Fee, S2O John Wasner, 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, ft!. D. Professor of Obstetrics,ls Henry R. Frost, M. D. Professor of Ma- teria Medica,ls James Moultrie, jr. M. D. Professor ofPhy- siology,lo John Bellinger, M. D. Demonstratorlo 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 a.d eundem, was conferred upon three Grad nates 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 be 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, and it is expected, from the talents which are engaged, that it will ere long be tilled 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 after 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 may 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 th,?se of other Colleges: Gfo.?d Boarding can be obtained in the City from 3 to 5 dollars per week. Graduation Fee, S3O. JAMES MOULTRIE, jr. M. D., Dean.

THH »NIt!KiSRBOC<4aR, OR THS NEW YORK MONTHLY MaOAKINS THIS Periodical having passed into the hands ofthe undersigned, will hereafter be issued with punctuality oil 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 The proprietors will use their endevors to avoid the examples of their predecessors, in liberal prom ises and scanty fulfilments. The work is here ut r depend, rather upon the character which it shall be able to acquire, thttii upon extradrdi nary announcements of the prospective excel lence to which it is to arrive. The Editor will receive in its subversion the constants assist ance ol his brother Willis Gaylord Clark; of 1 hiladelphia; and no exertions will be left un employed to render the work honorable to American Periodical Literatiire, and accepta ble to the pitblic, whose patronage is only so tar solicited as it shall seem to be deserved: Ihe original papers—which it is designed sha.ll be so varied, as to iorm a combination of the sol id and useful with the entertaining and agree able—will be front literary pens of established reputation, (both at home and abroad,) in dif lerent cities and portions ofthe United States. In addition to the original papers, liberal space will be devoted, under the head of Liter ary Notices; to brie£<ind candid reviews of new works, of proper distinction; yrith such extracts as may be necessary to add interest, or to le j USI * ce ie accoin P an yi n gcriticism 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 ofthe 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 be given. Editou’b Fable 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 of much of the best literary talent ofthe country—if the beauty of execution, and early and punctual transmission, ean 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 SO UTH ER N MAGAZ IN B. A Journal of Literature, Arts and Sciences. WITH much diffidence, the subscriber yields to the urgent recommendations oi a number of his friends, in offering to the en tirely unocupicd community of the South, Ihe publication of a monthly periodical under the i s to ° 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 ns a censurable, and 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 dors not shrink from a competition with, is at least satisfied under an indolent reliance upon the taste and talent of others. CircuDistances, moreover, have contributed to excuse, if not to favor this supineness. We shall not, we trust, 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 ofthe form er error in the late premature discontinuance es one of the ablest periodicals ofthe country— and the inadequacy of unassisted individual en terprize 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 are pledged towards its sup port. It is now almost needless to say, that the SOUTHERN 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 of the day, and notices ofthe 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. Grirnke, 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 9. 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. “ Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be handed to Mr. Haig, to be published with his prospectus, should he deem it advisable.” From the Journal of the Society.

LITERA TURE AND THE FINE ARTS: IT is a remarable fact, that, in all the South ern portion of our Union, there is not one jourilal of a character exclusively literary.— Not even does “ the gredt State” of Virginia, with her two Universities and hor 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 ofthe republic of letters, the present maybe distinguished as the era of “pe riodical literatiire.” 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, less gifted, though equally zealous worshipers ot the ‘ sac/ce edmtna" are not compelled “to hide theirdiminished heads;” in the awful pres ence ot some Magog of literature; who main tains despotic and undisputed over the realms of intellect. We shall not discuss the question whether or not this indicates a decline of literature It is however strongly characteristic of the age.— Mankind are now more engaged in the secarch after political truth, than in mere literary eie gancies and refinement. They are occupied in discovering their rights; in wresing them from hands which have so long unrighteouslv 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 energv, they are bcnd’ng everything to this momentuous’ pur pose. r Literary excellence is therefore ho longer the chief standard ol renown. This is not because literaly excellence has descended in lhe scale of intellectual e.'erlion, 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 hsr splendor; but because liberty has assum ed her thrown high above all oth»r'thrones. Jn the man whoss mind is purified from er ror, and raised above prejudice, by tha genial in fluence of literary pursuits, rests the task ol treeing his fellow man from the gloomy thral dom of ignorance, to which tyranny and cupidi liim a ' e S ° afl d S 0 succebslail y 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 of a noble work; that his laborswill go a long with their, and will aid in accomplishing glorious end of “redeeming, regenerating, and disenthralling the human race. Such is ROW the “prize ofthe high calling” ot htterature. Such is now the distinguished pre ro y a ' ,ve of literay men of every rank. The periodical press is the lever bv which Os ? ociet J is to be urged to this great re sult. I ruth science—literature—are no lon eoncentrated and shut up in books from all but the favored few. JPeriodical journals carry the resuls of philosophical investion and of litter ary research into every walk of life. They place them in the hands and before the eyes ofthe ag riculturalist, the artizan and the laborer; and thus invigorate and enlighten,while they refresh t their mind. As a literary journal performs so important a lunetioii in Lie present organization of society, it behooves him who presumes to undertake such a work, to bring to the undertaing a fixed deter mination to make it worthy the raak which it ought to occupy and end which it otight to fulfil Such the publisher of “ The Southern akv Messenger can with confidence assert is the determination with which he regards the en terpnze before him. If tallents can be commanded bv money—and if unremitting dilljgenee and steady persever ance On bis part will produce their ordinary re sults, then may he venture to assnrd all those whose regard for literature prompt them to look upon his design with favor, that “ The Southern Literary Messenger" will be worthy of their pa tronage, 1 The Southern Literary Messenger will em brace every subject within the range ofliterature and the fine arts; and that the scope of selection may be as wide as possible, and insure a body of mattei always interesting, the best foreign, and allthe domstic reviews and other periodicals will be constantly at the disposal ofthe eilitoriul de partment. In fine, no trouble or expense will be spared to render the publication stich a one as an en lightened public will take pleasure in support ing. ’ Condltlong.
