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
fol Mr. Legare from its commencement, in the
year 1828, and he is Ihus practically acquainted
with the inode in which it should be conducted.
Its publication will be continued on the same
terms and in the same manner as heretofore,
with such improvements as his experience may
sdggest.
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
effons 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.
All systematic knowledge is but the aggregate
of humble particulars; and Science, in every
department, is brought to perfection, not through
the instrumentality of a single extraor
dinary mind, but the contributions of particu
lars by many individuals, and generally after
the lapse of many years. He is desirous, there
fore, to have as manj r 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 hi’s
fellow-citizens of the South, will hot 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, that
it was suffered to fall, when it was not only
rearing lor us a well merited fame as a literary
people, but it was also vindicating the Southern
character aud Southern habits from the unjust
aspefs'fons which have been so liberally bestow
ed upon 1 As 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 to its
pages, and constitute topics a 1 ? interesting and
important as any which can engage either cur
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 lie had not undertaken to contin
ue the publication of this Periodical, it most
probably, would have either beep removed from
our city, or been suspended. Whether it will
be in his power to continue it, will depend not
oirtyon thePecuaiary]butthe Literary Contribu
tions of Southern Planters. He confidently now
leaves this matter in their hands, feeling a full
assurance that there is wanting on the part of
our Planters, neither the liberality nor mental
energies necessary to sustain the Soutnern Agri
culturist.

SOUTHERN MAGAZINE.
I A Journal of Literature, Arts and Sciences.
WITH much diffidence, the subscriber
yields to the urgent recommendations of
a number of his friends, in offering to the en
tirely unocupied community of the South, the
publication of a monthly periodical under the
a l ~°Y® He i s 100 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, and as many
are disposed to think, an almost insuperable iii
difterence 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 leffst satisfied
under an inaolent reliance upon the taste and
talent of others. Circumstances, moreover,
have contributed to excuse, if not to favor this
supineness. We shall not, w r e trust, be accused
ol 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 helve 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
terprize to supply eveii 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.
sain# 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 of the most
important passing events. JAMES HAIG.
At a special meeting of the Literary and
Philosophical Society convened oh 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 arid 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 Janies 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 and entertain
ment of its readers. .
“Resolved-, That ih'e 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. Elaig, to be published with
his prospectus, should, he deem it advisable.”

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SOUTHERN S P Y,
A weekly Newspaper to be published in Washing
ton, Wilkes County, Geo.
Tobe devoted to Politics,’Literature, &e.
IT has so long been the custom of persons an
nouncing 1 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 *ie 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 anti support to the ex
tent of our ability, the doctriiYes professed and
practised by the Union Party of our State, be
lie't’ihg them to the essential to the preservation
of our existence as a nation, and tne perpetua
tion of our happiness a# ft people. These we
believe to be generally known and understood
by the citizens of our State, and indeed the pro-
Eer limit of a prospectus would preclude their
eing examined and explained in detail. We
are fully aware that professions made and not
practised are worse than futile. Ifwc should be
found tergiversating in our course, we are of
consequence amenable t“ 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

PROSPECTUS
OF A UTKHABY PAtER TO BE PCBUSHEf) AT RICK
. , MOND, Va.
BY THOMAS W. WHITE.
TO EE ENTITLED
The Southeru Literary Messenger.
TO BE DEVOTED TO EVERY DEPARTMENT OF LITBRA
TLRE AND THE FINE ARTS.
IT is a remarable fact, that,™ all the South
ern portion of our Unioi, 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 ofl the reproach—for reproach
it certaifily is, that a department of literature,
now occupying so conspicuous a station, should
with us be entirely neglected.
In the annals ol the republic of letters the
present maybe distinguished as the era of “pe
riodical literature.” This circiiiftstance, in
truth, constitutes the literary world emphatical
ly a republic.” Now, (as ever,) the truly emi
nent occupy the loftiest stations; but row,also
less gifted, though equally zealous worshipers
cazaew,” are not compelled “t»
hide their diminished heads,” in the awful pres
ence of some Magog of literature, who main
tains despotic and undisputed swaj’ over the
realms of intell&t. J
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 naors engaged in the secareh
after political truth, than in mere literary effc*
gancies and refinement. They are occupied in
discovering their rights; in wrising them from
hands which hate 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
oi centuries; and, with mighty energy, they are
bending every thing to this momentuous pur
! pose,. , 1
, killerary excellence is therefore no longer the
chief standard bl renown. This js 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 condescended to be a
handmaid—the handmaid of liberty. But ft is
not because literature is of her dignity, or
of her splendor; but became 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 ths genial in
fluence of literary pursuits, rests the task of
fleeing his fellow mith from the gloomy thral
aom of ignorance, to which tyranny and cupidi
hfo' Te S ° so SUcce ssfully 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
c . O o ß. erate master spirits, in the comple
tio 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 raee.
, Such is now the “prize of the high calling” of
litterature. Such is now the distinguished pre
rogative of literav 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 Os philosophical investion and of litter
ary research tfoo every walk of life. They place
them in the hands ,sind before the eyes of the ag
riculturalist, the artizan and the laborer; and
thus invigorate and onlightsi,while they refresh
their mind.
As a literary journal performs so important a
function in the present organization of society,
it behoofs him who presumes to undertake such
a work, to bring..fo the undertaing a fixed deter
mination to mate it worthy the rank which it
ought to occupy and end which it ought to fulfil.
u The Southern Liter
arv Messenger’’ can with confidence assert is
the determination with which lie regards the en
terprize before him.
If tallents can be commanded by money—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 .for literature prompt diem to look
Upon his design with favor, that “ The Southern
I/iterary Messenger” will be worthy of their pa
tronage:. , r
• Thtf Southern Literary Messenger will em
a^ ace . e '’« r y subject within the range of literature
and the fine arts; and that the scope of selection
may be as wide as possible, and insure a body of
matter always interesting, the best foreign, and
all the domstic reviews and other periodicals will
be constantly at thoffisposal of the editorial de
partment.
In fine, no troiuble oi expense will be spared
to render the publication such a one as an en
lightened public will take pleasure in support
ing.

that a certain person known to me had advised
Daniel not to come to me, as it was a plan laid
