' SOUTHERN MAGAZINE.
j A 3aurnal of Literature, Artsand Scicncos.
WJTfI much diffidence, the subscriber
yields to the urgent recommendations of
' a number of bis friends, in offering to the cn
\ tirely vnocupicd- community of the South, the
[ publication of a monthly periodical under the
I 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
i an applicant for public favor, that there pre
| vail? amongst us a censurable, and as many
I are disposed to think, an almost insuperable in
| difference towards- the cultivation of a purely
democratic literature. The bold and haughty
indeptndence we assume and maintain on all
other points, if in this respect it does not shrink
from si competition with, is at least satisfied
under an indolent reliance upon the taste and
talent <?f others. Circumstances, moreover,
have contributed to excuse, if not to favor this
1 supineness. We shall not, wetrust, be accused
| of presumption on our own part, or of disre
i pect to our predecessors, in saying, that where
; in some cases, the latter have too largely drawn
I upon the intelligence and leisure of their read
i ers, and thus contracted the circl'd of their pat
i ronage, they hare in others, with an over-san
j guine anticipation, omitted the necessary pre
j paraticns to ensure a vigorous and durable
| prosecution of their undertaking. We have a
| painful and mortifiying illustration of the I’ornr
! er error .in the late premature discontinuance
I of one of the ablest periodicals of the country —
; and ths inadequacy of unassisted individual e.n
--; 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 wink 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 sav, 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.

PRC PECTUS
''the
GRTIENVILL MOUNTAINEER.
FSIHE Subscriber, hi Assuming the Editorial
_k. duties of the Mountaineer, deems it due to
its present Subscribers, as well as those who
may m future beeoine such, to issue a Prospec
tus,expressive ofthe principles which he designs
to advocate,. The Mountaineer has been Vong
and favorably known throughout the State, as
the firm and undeviating advocate of Republi
can principles—now professed and acted upon
by the Union Party- its present Editor will
advocate and maintain, to ihe best of his abili
ties, those principles—firmly believing them »<>
be absolutely necessary to our “preservation as
a Nation, and to the perpetuation of our happi
ness as a people.” It is nst necessary t 6 define
what those principles are—lt is believed that
they are generally known and understood.
The maintenance of a weekly paper in the
country, is a difficult and a laborious task. It
will not be deemed exaggeration by those who
are initiated, to say, that not more than two
thirds of the money due to such a paper canbs
collected—and it takes time to collect even that;
The proprietor—Mr. Well's —is thankful for
the patronage already extended to him. He
feels gratified that the names of the most tal
ented and influential mdh of our Party can be
seen on his subscription list; But, as it is the
only Union press in this large and populous
section of country, it is desirable tbdt it should
have an increased circulation. Wherever the
Mountaineer has beer, it has invariably had in
fluence.—And it is earnestly requested of the
friends ofthe Union, in Spartangurgh, Pickensj
Laurens, and particularly in Abbeville, toexert
themselves in aiding the circulation of the
Truth.
Th* Proprietor, if assisted in Ins generous
design, will obtain a. new press, an entirely new
fount of type, and issue the Mountaineer on art
enlarged slice: ofthe finest paper: This canhot
be done, however, without the renewed exer
tions ofthe friends of our cause, in the different
sections of the State, in his behalf. * *
The Mountaineer will be devoted to Political
and Miscellaneous matters, embracing the use’
ful, entertaining and instr uctive. The proceed
ings of Congress will be published invariably—
And the Editor will use every exertion in his
power to render the paper worthy of the patron*
age of the Union Public;

TERMS.—The Mountaineer will be publish*
cd once a week, on a super-royal sheet and
handsome type, aUArce dollars per annum in ad
vance, or three dollars and fifty cents at the ex
piration of six months —though payment in ad
vance would be greatly preferred. Leiters on
business mest be addressed to.

S nouucing their design to establish a Press
