HE 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 thecommerceof 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 must trade there, as a sort of Messenger between the agricultural 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 K views whatever, and therefore, will not j 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 ffenance of the rights and interests of the peo ple.

He, also pledges himself, to spare no exertions on his part lo render the Times worthy thepatronage of unenlightened and generous community. TERMS. The Times will be issued on a Superroyal 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. HENRY LYON. Wetumpka, Ala. Jan. 22d 1835. TO THE PUBLIC, THE subscriber, having purchased the Southern Agriculturist from its late Edi tor aud 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 heisthus 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 free nnd unrestrained communications from all persons occupied in these pursuits.— Let no one imagine that solitary facts or iso lated experiments are too 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 qan 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 of being recorded that they may be 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 a reproach to our Plaplers to suffer this Periodical to meet the fate ctf 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 GRIC UL TUR IS T* in some measure supplies the place of the Southern Re vfw, 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 to our 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 to continue 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, feei ng a full assurance that there is waiting on be part of our Planters, neither the liberality nor mental energies necessary to sustain the Southern Agriculturist. A. E. MILLER. Charleston, S. C-, Dec. I, 1834. COURIER PROSPECTUS. OF THE GREENVILLE MOUNTAINEER. HE Subscriber, in assuming the Editorial 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 ot the principles which he de signs to advocate. The Mountaineer has been long and favorably known 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- Siness a-; a people.” It is not necessary to de ne whtlt those principles are—lt is believed thft.t they are generally known and understood. The maintenance of a weekly paper in the counrry is a difficult and a laborious task: It willndt be deemed exaggeration by those Whd 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 tltne to collect even that. The proprietor—Mr: Wells—is thankful for thepatronage already extended to him. He feels gratified that the names of the most talent ed ana influential men of our Fatty 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 the Union, in Spartanburg, Pickens, Laurens, and particularly in Abbeville, to ex ert themselves in aiding the circulation of the Truth. •The Proprietor, if assisted in his generous de sign, will obtain a new Press, an entirely new fount of type, and issue the Mountaineer on an enlarged sheet of thefinest paper. This cannot be done, however, without the renewed exer tions of the friends of our 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 power'to render the paper worthy of the patron age of the Union Public. W. L. YANCEY. TERMS-—The Monntaineer will be publish ed once a week, on a sU'per-YOyal sheet anrt 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 0. H. WELLS, Publisher and. Proprietor. Greenville, S. S., Dec. 1834. TO PRINTERS? THE publication of the “ North Carolina Spectator and Western Advertiser,” and the Printing business connected with it, 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, ail nearly new, and in good condition. The Spectator has enjoj*ed 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, thiswould 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 G. WALTON, EDM. BRYAN, T. F- BIRCHETT, THOS. DEWS, Jun. J. M. D. CARSON. Rutherfordton, N. C. Feb. 13, 1835. March 13 31 THE KNICKERBOCKER. OR THE NEW YORK MONTHLY MAGAZINE THIS 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 the character 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 as 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 be embraced in this depart ment. Brief Obituary Notices of eminent per sons who may have deceased during the month, will likewise be given. The Editor’s Table will be devoted to the familiar discussion of such local or gcneal mat ters, as could not, with propriety, 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 it is confidently believed thatthe Knick erbocker Magazine will attain to general favor LEWIS GAYLORD CLARK, CLEMENT M.

PROSPECTUS OF THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE PARLOUR MAGAZINE. A weekly paper, devoted to Literature, and the Fine Arts; the Drama; the Fashions-, Tai es; Essays; Biographical Sketches; the History of Women-, Harmless Satire; Reviews of New Works, dfc.; and embellished with superior En gravings; Fine Wood Cuts; Plates of the Fashions; and Music. Price $3, payable in advance. CHI HE PARLOUR MAGAZINE is now in § 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 of 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 dite 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 will permit; besides wood cuts in great va riety, and apiece of original n 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 from time to time, with a general Critique on the author’s works, annexed to each; the head 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, expense 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, Office, 67 Liberty-street, New-York.

Feb. 20 4tw 22 SOUTHERN PLANTER, " AND HORTICULTURAL LYCEUM. PUBLISHED AT MACON, GEORGIA, BY M. BARTLETT. low state of both the practice and profits of Agriculture in the Southern States, is admitted and deplored by all, yet adequate remedies and relief have not been proposed, and are scarcely hoped for by even the most sanguine Ag riculturalists. Notwithstanding the great improvements in practice, and the exam ples of successful farming that many in dividuals have exhibited, it is still true, that our general average productsand profits have been long declining—-our lands are becoming impoverished, and their prices sinking in value. Yet these results have been produced throughout a region possessing remarkable natural advantages and facilities for agricultural improvement and profit, and which pro mises the richest rewards for the invest ment and iudicious employment of farm ing capital. Can we make ito general and successful effort to improve the con* dition of agriculture and ouf country? Or, shall we expect no change, unless to a worse than our present state? The cause of the depression of agri culture in the South are many—political and moral, as well as physical—all of which deserve thorough investigation, but which it would be out of place here to enumerate. It is enongh to state that every existing cause of depression is mul tiplied in power and effect, by the want of means for communication and concert among the members of the agricultural interest. It is the object of the Editor, if suffi ciently aided in the attempt, to endeavor in some measures to Supply this deficien cy. by establishing an Agricultural Pub lication suited to our situation and wants, and which may serve, if properly em ployed, to exhibit to every farmer, what ever may be valuable in the practice of every other in the Southern States. The Editor is aware of the peculiar circumstances of the Editorial depart ment of an Agricultural Journal—aud he is also sensible that the habits of a practical cultivator are even opposed to the acquisitions of some of the qualifica tions requisite for such an undertaking. No individuul however well qualified for his task, can effect much by his own unaided efforts; yet with the assistance from others, which the Editor hopes to obtain, he believes that the Southern Planter will serve as an efficient support to the agricultural improvement and gen eral interests of the south. For the pro motion of these objects through this me dium, the co-operation of some among the most able to render service, has been al ready promised; and every means will be used to invite the aid of all who are in terested in the success of the proposed plan. If our farmers can be induced to consider this paper as simply a convenient organ through which to exchange infor mation—by means of which any inquiry may be made, and speedily answered— and if such interchange of opinions and experience can be made as freely, and in the same plain manner that the same per- j sons might converse if brought together —then the most important and beneficial results of such a publication will be cer tain and immediately obtained. The most enlightened farmer is necessarily often ignoraut of important facts, in re gard to which he might be-instructed by others of very inferior attainments ot ex perience: and there is scarcely a single reflecting cultivator who has not learned some fact that is not generally known and the communication of which would be valuable to the agricultural communi ty. If all such miles of information could be drawn together and preserved, they alone would add incalculably to the existing-stockof our agricultural ktiowl dge. The Editor has no personal claim for aid to the proposed publication, nor does he ask it, except on the ground, of its tendency to advance the individual or general interest of its patrons. Should such considerations induce the offer of sufficient patronage to insure the useful ness and permanency of the publication, arrangements will be made for its contin uance; but the work will not be contin ued, unless in such form and manner as will not be unworthy the coadjutors of the Editor, and likely to be a full remu neration for the patronage it may obtain. The Southern. Planter will embrace, and be limited to the following' subjects: 1. Original communications of experi ments, observations and opinions on agri culture, gardening, and domestic econo my. 2. Selections from the best periodical publications on agriculture, Europeon and American, and fromsuch other agri cultural works as have not been publish ed in this country, or are not generally accessible. 3. Reviews or notices of agricultural works. 4. The discussion of such objects of political economy as are connectted with the preservation and support of the interest of agriculture. 5 Chemistry as connected with agri culture—and with the same limitation, Botany, Mineralogy, Geology and Natu ral History. 6. Reports of the topography, soils, minerals, peculiar manners, and actual state of agriculture of every country and district in the Southern States from which such information can be obtained. 7. The consideration of public improve ment by roads, railways and canals. 8. Discoveries in science, or the arts, and occurrences of other events that are considered likely to effect the interest of agriculture. TERMS: The Southern Planter is published every other week, each number consists of eight 4to pages. Price $2 50 a year —or $2 if paid in advance. Payments may be made to the Editor through the mail at his risk.
