For Publishing in the Town of Wetumpka, Al
abama, a weekly paper to be entitled the
WETUMPKA TIMES.
THE Town oi Wetumka being situated at
the head of Steam Boat navigation on the
Coosa river, and being justly estimated as an
important point where thecoimnerceof an exten
sive, rich productive district of the country must
concentrate; a paper being deemed by the sub
scriber necessary to the people who reside in the
Town, and to those who mnst trade there, as a
sort of Messenger between the agi icultural and
commercial population—he, therefore proposes
to establish a Journal in the Town of Wetump
ka, under the title which heads this prospec
tus.
The object of the Times is not to effect any
•party views whatever, and therefore, will not
De the organ of any faction, or the tool of any
party but will be devoted to the dissemination of
correct and useful information and to the main
tenance of the rights and interests of the peo
ple. Its columns will at all times be open to
men of all parties and all opinions—also to a
frank, free and full dismission of all the politi
cal questions vitally affecting the interestsand
well being of National the Government and the
cause of liberty against anarchy and misrule.
A summary view of all important events
happening in any part of the United states, and
a summary of all foreign intelligence whether
civil or political, deemed to be of an important
or interesting character, together with a correct
account of the Market of this and other places
will be se vised by the practical merchant, and
published weekly.
It will bethe endeavor of the publisher to furnish
his patrons with all important news on anv and
every subject calculated to benefit the public,
and to present them with such original and se
lected articles as may be of an instructive or en
tertaining nature. He, also pledges himself, to
spare no exertion?, on his part lo render the
Times worthy thepatronagc of on enlightened
and generous community.
TERMS.
The Times will be issued on a Superroval
sheet, at 5350 in advance— s 4if paid within
six months—or 5 dollars at the close of a year.
Advertisements will be inserted at the usual
rates.

TO THE PUBLIC,
THE subscriber, having purchased the
Southern Agriculturist from its late Edi
tor and Proprietor, Mr. John D. Legare, soli-,
cits the support of the friends of Agriculture,
and of the interests connected with it, through
out the Southern States. He has published
this work for Mr. Legare from its commence
ment, in the year 1828, and he is thus practical
ly acquainted with the mode in which it should
be conducted. Its publication will be continue 1
on the same terms and in the same manner as
heretofore, with such improvements as his ex
perience may 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
efforts in Agriculture and Horticulture, he in
vites tree nnd unrestrained communications
from all persons occupied in these pursuits.—
Let no one imagine that solitary facts or iso
lated experiments aretoo trivial to be commu
nicated. All systematic knowledge is but the
aggregate ofhnmble particulars; and Science,
in every department, is brought to perfection,
not through the instrumentality of a single ex
traordinary mind, but by the contributions of
particulars by many individuals, and generally
after the lapse of many years. He is desirous,
therefore, to have as many facts to record as ean
be furnished; and from the Planter, who is sys
tematic in his experimental labors, an account
of his failures as well as of his successful ef
forts, will be acceptable. If the last are worthy
ofbeing recorded that they maybe imitated, the
first merit to be noted in order to be shunned.
The Subscriber hopes that this appeal to his
fellow-citizens of the South, will not be in vain.
It would be areproach 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 rear
ing for us a well merited fame as a literary
people, but it was also vindicating the Southern
character and Southern habits from the unjust
aspersions which have been so liberally bestow
ed upon us out of our section of country. The
' SO UTHERN A URIC UL T URIS T" in some
measure supplies the place of the Southern Re
-I’icw, so far as regards the circumstances last
alluded to. It serves as a Register not only of
methods of Husbandry, but also of facts relating
orir system es Slavery. The subjects of the
discipline, the treatment, the characters of our
Slaves, are fairly suited to its pages, and con
stitute topics as interesting and important as any
which can engage either our own attention or
the attention of those abroad, who feel a legit
imate interest in our concerns.
The Subscriber begs leave, in conclusion, ; to
remark, that if he had not undertaken to con
tinue the publication of this Periodical, it most
probably would have been either removed from
our city, or been suspended. Whether it will
be in his power toeontinue it, will depend not
only on the pecuniary but the Literary Con
tributions of Southern Planters. He confident
ly now leaves this matter in their hands, feel
ing a full assurance that there is wanting on
the part of our Planters, neither the liberality
nor mental energies necessary to sustain the
Southern Agriculturist.

PROSPECTUS.
OF THE
GREENVILLE MOUNTAINEER.
FHYiIE Subscriber, in assuming the Editorial
JL duties of the Mountaineer, deems it due
to its present Subscribers, as well as those who
may in future become such, to issue a Prospec
tus, expressive oi the principles which be de
signs to advocate. The Mountaineer has been
long and favorably know n throughout the State
as the firm and undeviating advocate of repub
lican principles—-now professed and acted upon
by the Union Party. Its present Editor will
advocate and maintain to the best of his
abilities, those principles—firmly believing them
to be absolutely necessary to our “preservation
as a Nation, and to the perpetuation of our hap
piness as a people.” It is not necessary to de
fine what those piinciples are—lt is believed
that they are generally known and understood.
Tho maintenance of a weekly paper in the
country i.i a difficult and a laborious cask. 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 can be col
lected —and it takes time to collect even that.
The proprietor—Mr. Wells—is thankful for
the patronage already extended to him. He
feels gratified that the names of the most talent
ed and influential men 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 that it should have an
increased circulation. Wherever the Moun
taineer has been, it has invariably had influ
ence. And it is earnestly requested of the
friends of theUxioN, in Spartanburg, Pickens,
Laurens, and particularly in Abbeville, to ex
ert themselves in aiding the circulation of the
Truth.
The Proprietor, if assisted inhis generousde
sign, will obtain a new Press, an entirely new'
fount oftype, and issue the Mountaineer on an
enlarged sheet of the finest paper. This cannot
be done, however, without the renewed exer
tions of the friends of cur cause, in the differ
ent sections of the State, in his behalf.
The Mountaineer will be devoted to Political
and Miscellaneous matters, embracing the use
ful, entertaining and instructive. The proceed
ings of Congress will be published invariably—
And the Editor will use every exertion in his
powerfto render the paper worthy of the patron
age of the Union Public.
W. L. YANCEY.
TERMS-—The Mountaineer will be publish
ed once a week, on a super-royal sheet and
handsome type, at Three Dollars per annum
in advance, or three dollars and fifty cents at the
expiration of six months,—-though payment in
advance would be’greatly preferred. Letters
on business must be addressed to

TOPR INTERS. ’
THE publication of the “ North Carolina
Spectator and Western Advertiser,” and
the Printing business connected with i’t for
some time under the Editorial management of
Mr. Roswell Elmer, Jr. being about to be relin
quished by him, for some other pursuit, it be
comes necessary to engage the services of anoth
er competent individual, to take charge of the
concern.
The Press is an excellent supep-royal, cast
iron, Washington or Rust Press, equal to any
in the State, to which is attached Composition
Rollers and Fixtures. The Types consists of
fonts of Long Primer, 350 lbs.; Brevier 160 lbs.-
Pica, 60 lbs.; Double Small Pica, 50 lbs.; togeth
er with a complete assortment of job type, cuts,
rules, &c. &c., carefully selected and suited to
the business of a country Printing Office, all
nearly new, and in good condition.
The Spectator has enjoyed a liberal patron
age, and has now quite a respectable list of sub
scribers, and an extensive and profitable circle
of job work.
It is proposed to lease it for a term of one or
more years. To one who combines practically
a knowledge for printing, with capacity for the
Editorial management of the concern, this would
doubtless be a profitable situation.
It may not be amiss to say, that the political
cour. e and principles hitherto supported by the
'‘Spectator,” have been those of the “ Jefferso
nian School,” and it is believed a majority of
this community entertaining the same princi
ples, would be more likely to patronize a con
tinuance than a departure from them. Early
application is desirable to

THE KNICKERBOCKER.
OR THE NEW YORK MONTHLY MAGAZINE
TH I S Periodical having passed into the
hands of the undersigned, will hereafter be
Issued with punctuality on 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 country. The
proprietors will use their endevors to avoid the
examples of their predecessors, in liberal prom
ises and scanty fulfilments. The work is here
after todepend, rather upon thecharacter which
it shall be able to acquire, than upon extraordi
nary announcements of the prospective excel
lence to which it is to arrive. The Editor will
receive in its subversion the constants assist
ance of his brother Willis Gaylord Clark, of
Philadelphia; and no exertions will be left un
employed to render the work honorable to
American Periodical Literature, and accepta
ble to the public, whose patronage is only so
far solicited ns it shall seem to be deserved.
The original papers—which it is designed
shall be so varied, as to form a combination of the
solid and useful with the entertaining and agree
able—will be from literary -pens of established
reputation, (both athome and abroad,) in dif
ferent cities and portions of the United States.
In addition to the original papers, liberal
space will be devoted, under the head of Liter
ary Notices, to brief and candid reviews of new
works, of proper distinction, with such extracts
as may be necessary to add interest, or to
evince the justice of the accompanying criticism
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 of the several States—political, sta
tistical, and domestic—arranged under their
separate heads, will lie embraced in this depart
ment. Brief Obituary Notices of eminent per
sons who may ha ve deceased during the month,
will likewise be given.
The Editor’s Table will be devoted to the
familiar discussion of such local or geneal mat
ters, as could not, with 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
of the country—if the beauty of execution, and
early and punctual transmission, can insure its
succe fsjtis confidently believed thatthe Knick

OF THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
PARLOUR MAGAZINE.
A weekly paper, devoted to Literature, and the
Fine Arts; the Drama; the Fashions-, Tales;
Essays; Biographical Sketches; the Hislory of
Women-, Harmless Satire; Reviews of New
Works, <Jj-c.; and embellished with superior En
gravings; Fine Wood Cuts; Plates of the

Price $3, payable in advance.
rpilE PARLOUR MAGAZINE is now in
JL the meridian of its popularity, and as in
spiring hopes without a shadow, and cloudless
prospects without a horizon, continue to cheer it
on its way, we may reasonably anticipate for it
a long day of triumph;
For general appearance, mechanical arrange
ment, and typographical execution, it may just
ly assert its claims to rank among the most
beautiful periodicals in the United States.
The Literary department is contributed toby
many of the ablest writers in the country —men
whose names, if they gave us permission to use
them, would save us the trouble of circulating
our claims on the public through the medium ol
a prospectus.
For selections, the literary gardens of all A
merica and half Europe are open to us; so that
if we fail in this particular, the defect must be
only attributed to our own want of taste.
The “Fashions” shall meet with all due at
tention. We have made arrangements to ob
tain the earliest intelligence from London and'
Paris, in respect of the various changes, which
shall be inserted as soon as received.
The PARLOUR MAGAZINE shall be oc
casionally embellished with beautiful Engrav
ings upon interesting subjects; and plates of the
newest fashions, plain or colored, as circumstan
ces w’ill permit; besides wood cut# in great va
iiety,and apiece of original #r well selected
Music, at least twice a month.
Highly finished portraits of all the great
British and American poets,from Chaucer down
wards, are in preparation, and will appear in
the Magazine fromtime to time, wiih ageneral
critique on the author’s works, annexed to each;
the heart and review of Shakespeare will be
forthcoming in February—Bryant’s will fol
low. To this paragraph we would especially
call the readers attention, as the undertaking is
one of great interest, expanse and labor. The
likenesses shall all be taken from portraits by
the best masters.
The PARLOUR MAGAZINE is printed on
super-royal paper, in quarto form, and stitched
in a handsome cover. JNO. M. MOORE,
