For Publishing in the Town of Wetumpka, Al abama, a weekly paper to be entitled the WETUMPKA TIMES. THE Town of 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 •ire, rich productive district of the country must concentrate; a paper being deemed by the sub «cfiber 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 party views whatever, and therefore, will not be 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 meft of all parties and all opinions—also to a frank, free and full discussion 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 sevisedby the practical merchant, and fublished weekly. twill bethe endeavor of the publisher to furnish his patrons with all important news on any and every subject calculated to benefit the public, aad 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 to render the Times worthy the patronage of an enlightened and generous community. TIMMS. The Times will be issued on a Superroyal sheet, at $3 50 in advance—-$4 if 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. 22rf 1835. r< TO THE PUBLIC, fVIHE subscriber, having purchased the JL Southern Agriculturist from its lats 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 heisthus practical ly acquainted with the mode in which it should be conducted. Its publication will be continue 1 •n the same terms and in the same manner as heretofore, with such improvoments as his ex perience may suggest. As the subscriber is solicitous to make this Journal the vehicle for disseminating useful in formation, ndt 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 pefsdns occupied in these pursuits.— Let no one imagine that solitary facts or iso lated experiments are too trivial to be commu nicated. Alt systematic knowledge is but the *sS re <»ate 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 mttny yedrs. He is desirous, therefore, to have as mdny facts to record asean be furnished; and from the Pldnter, who is sys tematic in his experimental labors, an account of his failures as well as o’s 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 Planters to suffer this Periodical to meet the fate of the Southern Review. Os the la»t itmdy be justly said, that it was suffered to fdli, when it was not only rear ing for us a well merited fame a literary people, but it wa!s also 1 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 “ SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE T‘ in some measure supplies the place of the Southern Re view, so far as regards the. circumstances last Alluded to. It serves as a Register not only of I methods of Husbandry, but rflso of facts relating fa our aystem es Slavery. The subjects of the discipline, the treatment, the characters of our Slaves, are fairly suited to its pages, find con stitute topics as interesting and importantas any which can engage either our oXvn attention or the attention of those abroad, who fee! fi legit imate interest in our concerns. The Subscriber begs feave, 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 bur 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 wanting on he part of our Planters, neither the liberality nor mental energies necessary to sustain the Southern Agriculturist.

THE Subscriber, in assuming the Editorial duties of the Mountaineer, deems it due io its present Subscribers, as well as those who may in future become such, to issue a Prospec tus, expressive ol 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 pro fessed 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 principles are—lt is believed that they are generally known and understood. The maintenance of a weekly paper in the coun:ry is a difficult and a laborious cask. It will not be deemed exaggeration by those who are initiated, to say, that hot 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 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 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 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 powerjto 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 super-royal sheet and handsome type, at Three Dollars per annum in advance, or three dollais and fifty cents at the expiration of six months, —though payment in advance would be’greatly preferred.' Letters on business must be addressed to O. 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 bofihected 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, 356 lbs.; Brevier 160 lbs.- Pica, 60 lbs.; Double Small Pica, 50 lbs.; togeth er with a complete assortment of job type, cuts, rules, &e. &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. Il is proposed to lease it for a term of one or more years. Toone who combines practically, a knowledge for printing, with capacity for the Editorial management of the concern, this would doubtless be a profitable situatioft. It may not be amiss to say, thdt 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 Oft 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 to depend, 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; arid no exertions will be left un employed to render the work honorable to American Periodical Literature, and accepta ble tOjthe public, whose patronage is only so far solicited as it shall seem! tobe deserved. The original papers— 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 papdfs, liberal space will be devoted, under the head of Liter ary Notices, to brief and canditf 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 continents, 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 familiftY discussion of such local’ or geneal 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- I erbocker Magazine will attain to general favor LEWIS GAYLORD CLARK, CLEMENT M.

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, ts-c.; and embellished with superior En gravings; Fine Wood Cuts; Plates of the Fashions; and Music. Price S 3, payable in advance. THE 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 niay reasonably anticipate for it a long day of triumph. For general appearance, mechanical arrange ment, arid typographical execution, it may just ly assert its ; claims torfink 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 sayg 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 pdrjicular, the defect must be only attributed to our otVn want of taste. The “Pashioris” 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 bp oc casionally embeltished with beautiful Engrav ings upon interesting subjects; and plates of the rie west fashions, plain or colored, as circumstan ces will permit; besides wood cuts in great va liety, and apiece of original <4r 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, wiih 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 stitch'ed in a handsome cover. JNO. M. MOORE, Office, 67 Liberty-Street, New-York.

JACOB C. BUGG, T. R. R.C. JAMES PRIMROSE, T. C. R C. March 9 Btw 29 southern planter, AND HORTICULTURAL LYCEUM. PUBLISHED AT MACON, GEORGIA, BY M. BARTLETT. HT’HE low state of both the practice and profits of Agriculture in the Southerh States, is admitted and deplbred 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 rfiany in dividuals have exhibited, it is still true, that our general fiverage products and firofits have bfien long declining—our ands are bfecothing impoverished, and their prices sinking in value. Yet these results have been produced throughout a region possessing remarkable natural advantages ahfi facilities for agricultural iriiprbvement arid profit, and which pro mises the richest rewards for the invest ment and judicious employment of farth ing capital. Can we make no general and successful effbti to improve the con dition of agriculture and out coiihtry? 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 otif situation and wants, and which may serve, if properly ein- | ployed, to exhibit to every fanner, what ever may be valuable in the practice of every other in tKe Southern States. The Editor is aware of the peculiar circumstances of the Editorial depart ment of an Agricultural Journal—and he is also sensible that the habits of a practical cultivator are even opposed to the acquisitions of some bf the qualifica tions requisite foi* such an undertaking. No individual however well qualified for his task, can effect much by his oivn unaided efforts; yet with the assistance from others, which the Editor hopes to obtain, he believes ihat ihe Srihlhetn Planter will Serve as an efficient support to the agricultural irripro.vemeht find gen eral interests of the south. For the pro motion of these objects through this me dium, the co-operation of some fimong the most able to render service, has been al ready promised; and every means will be used to invite the aid bf all who fire in terested in the success of the proposed plan. , If our farmers can be induced to consider this paper as simply a convenient brgan through which to exchange Infor mation—by means of which any inquiry may be made, and speedfly answered— and if such interchange of opinions and experience can be made as freely, and in the same plain manner that the Same per sons might converse ff brought together —then the most important and beneficial results of Such a publication? will be cer tain and irprifiediaUly obtained. The most enlightened farmer is necessarily often ignorant of important facts, in re gard to which he might be instructed by others of very inferior attainments dr ex perience: and there is scarcely a single reflecting cultivator who has not learned some fact that is not generally known and the communication qf Which Would be valuable totfte agricultural communi ty. If all such mites of inforinatio'n could be drawn together and preserved, they alone would add incalculably to the existing stockof our agricultural kriowl 3ge. 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 genefal interest of its patrons. Should such considerations indace the offer of sufficient patronage to insure the useful ness and periftandhey of the publteatiori', arrangements will be made for its contin uance; but the work will n6t be contin ued, unless in such form arid manner as will not be unworthy the edadjutots of the Editor, and likely to be a full remu neration for the patronage it may obtain. The Southern Planter wiTT eriibrade, and be limited, to the following subjects: 1. Original communications rif experi ments, observations’and opinions on agri culture, gardening, and domestic dcono my - 2. Selections from the best periodical publications on figricultuie, Europeon and American, and from such other agri cultural works as have not been publish ed in this dou'ntry, or a're not generally accessible. 3. Reviews or notices of agricultural works. 4. The discussion of srich objects of political economy aS are connected 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 Bach information can ba obtained. 7. The consideration bf public improve ment by roads, railways and canals. 8. Discoveries in Science, bt the arts, arid occurrences of other events tliat are considered likely to effect the interest of agriculture. TERMS: The Southern Planter is published every other week, each nnmbbr 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 majl at his risk.
