CJS2OKCJIA COUBIER. 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 ajid bowels, colic, Jaundice, flatulence, habitual costiveness, loss of appetite, sick hedd-ache, &c. &e. Thev are a comfortable Aperient for females during pregpnucy 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 follow’s, 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 noform 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 w as not pei fectly confident, on which the public might not safely rely. JAS. IREDELL. From his Honor, Henry Potter, Judge of the U. S. Court, for the District of North Carolina. Fayetteville,’ August 16, 1834. For some ten or twelve years past, I have been in the habit of using Dr. Beckxvith’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 licad-ache, and from all the usual symptoms of a functional de rangement of the viscera. As an aperient, they are 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. H. POTTER. For sale, by appointment, by R. B. HAVILAND & CO, Druggists, Augusta. O* Price 50 cents per box. Dec 5 145 4m TO THE PUBLIC. THE SUBSCRIBER, having purchased the Southern Agriculturist from its late Editor and Proprietor, Mr. John D. Legare, solicits the support of the friends of Agriculture, and of the interests connected with it, throughout the Southern States- He has published this work for Mr. Legare from its commencement, in the year 1828, and he is llius practically acquainted with tho mode in which it should be conducted. Its publication will be continued on the same terms and in the same manner as heretofore, with suck improvements as his experience maj suggest. As the Subscriber is solicitous to make this Journal the vehicle for disseminating useful in formation, not only with regard to established systems of Husbandry, but also experimental efforjs in Agriculture and Horticulture, he in vites free and unrestrained communications , from all persons occupied in these pursuits. . Let no one imagine that solitary facts or isolated : experiments are too trivial to be communicated. I All systematic knowledge is but the aggregate [ of humble particulars; and Science, in every I department, is brought to perfection, not through I the instrumentality of a single extraor- j dinary mind, but the contributions of particu- I lars by many individuals, and generally after the lapse of many years. He is desirous, there fore, to have as many facts to record as can be furnished ; and from the Planter, who is system atic in his experimental labors, an account of his failures as well as of his successful efforts, will be acceptable. If the last are worthy of being recorded that they may be imitated, the first merits to be noted in order to be shunned. The Subscriber hopes that his appeal to his fellow-citizens of the South, will not be in vain. It would be a reproach to our Planters to suffer this Periodical to meet the fate of the Southern Review. Os the last it may be justly said, th?.* it was suffered to fall, when it was not only rearing for us a well merited fame as a literary people, but it was also vindicating the Southern character aud Southern, habits from the unjust aspersions v-hich have been so liberally bestow ed upon us out of our section of country The “ SOUTHERN AGRICULTURIST ” in some measure supplies the place of the Southern Review, so far as regards the circum stances last alluded to. It serves as a Register not only of methods of Husbandry, but also of facts relating to our system of Slavery. The subjects of the discipline, the treatment, the characters of our Slaves, are fairly suited lo its pages, and constitute topics as interesting and important as any which can engage either our own attention or the attention of those abroad, who feel a legitimate interest in our concerns. The Subscriber begs leave, in conclusion, to remark, that if he had not undertaken to contin ue the publication of this Periodical, it most probably, would have either been removed from our city, or been suspended. Whether it xvill be in his power to continue it, will depend not only on thePeciw»i<wyJbutthe Literary Contribu tions of Southern Planters. He confidently now leaves this matter their hands, feeling a lull assurance that there is wanting on the part of our Planters, neither the liberality nor mental energies necessary to sustain the Soutnern Agri culturist.

The truth is not to be dis | guised; however inexpedient its expression by lap applicant for public favor, that there pre- • vails amongst us a censurable, and as many I are disposed to think, an almost insuperable in- I dinerence towards the. cultivation of a purely j democratic literature. The bold ami haughty- independence we assume and maintain on all otliei points, if in this respect it does not shrink iroin 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 supmencss. We shall not, we trust, be accused of presumption on our own part, or of disre pect to our predecessors, in saving, 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 j ronage, they have in others, w’ith an over-san i guine anticipation, omitted the necessary- pre i parations to ensure a vigorous and durable I prosecution of their undertaking. We have a ■ painful and inorlifiying illustratisn of the ibrni i er error in the late premature discontinuance lof one-of the ablest periodicals of the country— • and the inadequacy of unassisted individual en \ terprixe lo supply even the limited demand it | met with, not merely in the quantity, but par- ticulaily in the quality and the variety required, has been too Well tested by every- successive I and irretrievable failure heretofore. The work now proposed, is happily free from either of the dangers referred to. ’Enlire.lv 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 ba-vo taken an interest in and are pledged towards its sup port . ‘ It is now almost needless to sav, that the SOU THERN MAGAZINE will consist en tirely of original matter in pros* and verse, (to whieh contributions are respectfully invited,) embracing all subjects of general interest and exclusive of controversial divinity and party politics, accompanied with criticisms upon the productions ol the day, and notices of th# most important passing events.

IT has so long been tha custom of persons an nouncing their design to establish a Press to issue a Prospectuscontaining the principles which they intend to maintain, that a departure in the present instance would hardly be pardon ed. ’1 he people have unquestionably the right to be informed, xvhat path xve design to travel, and tojiidgc first of its; propriety, and af terwards il there should be a deviation from the satfte. We would therefore briefly- state, that our object is to advocate and support to the ex tent ot our ability the doctrines professed and practised hy the Union Party* of our State, be lieving them to the essential to the preservation ot our existence |fs a nation, and the perpetua tion of oiir 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 arc worse than futile. Ifwe should be found tergiversating in our course, we are of consequence amenable to our patrons and rea ders, and by them xve are willing to be judged. Portions of the paper will be devoted to mis cellaneous matter, distinct from political, em bracing that w-hich w ill be thought most useful and interesting.

TO BH ENTITLED . The Southern Literary Messenger. TO T.B DBTOTEDTO KVBRY DEPARTMENT OF LITERA TURE AND THS FINE ARTS. If 1 is a remarable fact, that, in all the South ern portion of our Union, there is not one journal ot a character exclusively literary Not even does “ the great State” of Virginia with her two Universities and her three Solle gesjiurnishher quota to the literature of the dar No one of us would be willing to admit that this results from want ot literary taste, vet 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 of the republic of letters; the present maybe distinguished as the era of“pe trntLCal llt .® ratnr ®’”, Th >S circumstance, in truth, constitutes the literary world emphatical ly a republic.” Now, (as ever,) the truly emi- ? lcnt °9 < r ll l , y loftiest stations; but now,also, less gifted, though equally zealous worshiper* of the M-cri? camcita ’ are not compelled “to hide their diminished heads,” in the awful pre£ ence ot some Magog of literature, who main tains despotic and undisputed swav over tha realms of intellect. J We shall not dispuss tho question whether or not tins indicates a decline of literature. It is however, strongly characteristic of the age —’ Mankind ate now more engaged in the secarch alter 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 ong 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 centimes;and, ttith mighty energy, they ara bending every thing to this momentuous pur- Literary excellence is therefore no longer the chief standard ol renown. This is not because literary excellence has descended in the scale of intellectuni exertion, but because renown has now a noble and wioftierincentive. Literature from being a queen, has condescendod 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.7 assum ed her thrown high above Ml other thrones.
