BECKWITH'S ANTI-DYSPEPTIC
PILLS.
THE ANTI-DYSPEPTIC PILLS have
been successfully employed in almost
every variety of functional disorder of the Sto
mach, Bowels, Liver, and Spleen; such as
heart burn, acid eructations, nausea, head-ache,
pain and distension of the stomach and bowels,
colic, Jaundice, flatulence, habitual costiveness,
loss of appetite, sick head-ache, &c. &c. They
are a comfortable Aperient for females during
pregnancy and subsequent confinement, reliev
ing sickness at the stomach, head-ache, heart
burn and many other incidental nervous affec
tions. Literary men, students and most other
persons of sedentary habits, find them very con
venient. Those who indulge too freely in the
pleasures of the table, find speedy relief from
the sense of oppression and distention which
follows, by taking the Pills. Those who are
drinking Mineral waters, and particularly from
Southern climates, and Ague and Fever dis
tricts, will find them a valuable adjunct. Those
who are exposed to the vicissitudes of weather, '
on voyages or journeys, can take them at all
times with perfect safety. They seldom or ne
ver produce sickness at the stomach or griping.
In full doses, they are a most valuable, safe and
efficacious Anti-Bilious medicine, but contain
Mercury in no form whatever.
The medicine now offered to the public is a
composition, the result of no hasty and imper
fect conclusion, but of much careful and scien
tific observation, by a Southern Physician of
established reputation and long experience; and
it is believed, that few articles of a popular
character, have, in any country, been intro
duced with higher claims to public confidence.
The accompanying certificates are signed by
gentlemen of the highest respectability, and
known throughout this country.
From Governor Iredell.
August 21st, 1834.
Dr. Beckwith’s Anti-dyspeptic Pills have
been used in my family, which is a large one,
with the most beneficial effects. A number of
my friends who have been afflicted with Dys
pepsia and other disorders of the stomach, have
spoken to me in strong terms of the relief
they experienced from this remedy. Without
the evidence I have received from others, my
intimate knowledge of the professional and
private character of Dr. Beckwith, for the last
20 years, justifies me in declaring, that he would
give no assurances of facts of his own experi
ence, or of professional deductions, of which he
was not pel fectly confident, on which the public
might not safely rely.
JAS. IREDELL.
From his Honor, Henry Poller, Jv.dge of the U.
S. Court, for the District of North Carolina.
Fayetteville, August 16, 1834.
For some ten or twelve years past, ! have been
in the habit of using Dr. Beckwith’s Anti-dys
peptic Pills in my family, and consider them so
valuable a domestic medicine, that I never suf
fer my stock to be exhausted. I have used them
with good effect in dyspeptic cases, under va
rious modifications; and have found them effi
cacious in relieving from sick head-ache, and
from all the usual symptoms of a functional de
rangement of the viscera. As an aperient, they
arc excellent. I have long had the pleasure of
an intimate acquaintance with the inventor of
these Pills. He is a gentleman of talents, in
tegrity and worth, and he ranks high in the
science of Medicine, and the healing art. His
certificate, therefore, as to the properties and ef
fects of the Pills may be confided in.

SOUTHERN MAGAZINE.
I A Journal of Literature, Art# and Sciences,
j 1 much diffidence, the subscriber
1 V w 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
k 'h -^ e * s to ° wel l 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, and as many
ay® 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, il in this respect it does not shrink
from a competition with, is at least satisfied
under an indolent reliance upon the taste and
talent ot others. Circumstances, moreover,
have contributed to excuse, if not to favor this
supmeness. We shall not, we trust, be accused
oi presumption on our own part, or of disre
pect to our predecessors, in saying, that where
111 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
ot 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.
T he 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 hut 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
J 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
prcxluctions of 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—
“Resolved, 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 aud 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, lo
patronize the same.
“Resolved, That a eopy of these resolutions
be handed to Mr. Haig, to be published with
his prospectus, should he deem it advisable.”

IT has so long been the custom of persons an
nouncing their 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 lo advocate and support to the ex
tent of our ability the doctrines professed and
practised bv the Union Party of our State, be
lieving them to the essential to the preservation
of our existence as a nation, and the 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
I being examined and explained in detail. We
j are fully aware that professions made and not
: practised are worse than futile. If we should be
j found tergiversating in our course, we are of
I 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 to
use every exertion to make his paper as respec
table and interesting as lays in his power.
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.

BY THOMAS W. WHITE.
TO BE ENTITLED
The Southern Literary Messenger.
TO SE DEVOTED TO EVERY DEPARTMENT OF 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
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 wnlling to admit that
this results from want of literary taste, yet bo
one essays to cast oft 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 of the republic of letters, the
present may be distinguished as the era of “ pe
riodical literature. ” 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
of the “sacra carnena," are not compelled “to
hide their diminished heads,” in the awful pres,
ence of some Magog of literature, who main,
tains despotic and undisputed away over th*
realms of intellect.
We shall not diseass 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 ele
gancies and refinement. They are occupied in
discovering their rights; in wresing them from
hands which have so long unrighteously 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 are
bending every thing to this momentuous pur
pose.
Literary excellence is therefore no longer the
chief standard of renown. This is not because
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 has assum
ed her thrown high above all other thrones.
On the man whose mind is purified from er
ror, and raised above prejudice, by tha genial in
fluence of literary pursuits, rests the task of
freeing his fellow man from the gloomy thral
dom oi ignorance, to which tyranny and cupidi
ity have so long and so successfully 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 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 ol society is to be urged to this great re
sult. Truth—science—literature—are no lon
ger concentrated and shut up in books from all
but the favored few. Periodical journals carry
the resuls ot philosophical investion and of litter
ary research into every walk of life. They place
thein in the hands and before the eyes of the ftff
-1 iculturalist, 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 undertake such
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.
k l l^e of “ Thh Southern Liter
art Messenger can with confidence assert is
the determination with which he regards the en
terprize before him.
It tallents can be commanded by monev— and
it unremitting dilligence and steady persever
ance on his part will produce their ordinary re
sults, then may he venture to assure all those
whose regard lor literature prompt them to look
upon his design with favor, that “ The Southern
Literary Messenger” will be worthy of their pa
tronage. r
1 he Southern Literary Messenger will em
brace every subject within the range of literature
and the fine arts; and that the scope of selection
may Le as wide as possible, and insure a bodvof
matter always interesting, the best foreign, and
all the 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. "

I TRADED sometime last summer W’ith Col.
William Kerr of Athens, for a yellow Ne
gro Man, known in this city by the name of
Daniel Kelly. Daniel was at the time I traded
for him Runaway—and is still out. All per
sons are requested to let said Negro pass if seen
about the city of Augusta. And the reward of
ferred by Col. Kerr, was withdrawn on the day
of his sale to me. I have been looking daily to
see Daniel, and information reached me to-day
that a certain person known to me had advised
Daniel not to come to me, as it was a plan laid
to catch him for Col. Kerr. It appears to me
this good genieman is about to get himself into
a situation it will cost him some, help to get
out, as well as expense. Daniel cannot be
bought from me at any price by said person.
