•I OFTHE
GREENVILLE MOUNTAINEER.
THE 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 oi 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
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
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 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 of type, 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
power’to render the paper worthy of the patron
age of the Union Public.
W. L. YANCEY.
TERMS—The Monntaineer will he 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

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 ot Long Prim»r, 350 lbs.; Brevier IGO 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
acknowledge for printing, with capacity for the
Editorial management ofthe concern, this would
doubtless be a profitable situation.
It may not he 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 J

PROSPECTUS
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 History of
f-Yomen; Harmless Satire; Reviews of New
Works, and embellished with superior En
gravings; Fine Wood Cuts; Plates of the
Fashions; and Music.
Price $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 may reasonably anticipate for it
a long day of triumph. ?
For general appearance, mechanical
mens, 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 oi
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 ofthe various changes, which
shall be inserted as soon as received.
The PARLOUR MAG AZINE shall be oc
casionally embellished with beautiful Engrav
ings upon interesting subjects; and plates of the
newest fashions, plain or colored, ascircumstan
ces will permit; besides wood cuts in great va
riety, and apiece of original ®r weH selected
Music, at least twice a month.
Highly finished portraits of all the ~rcat
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 i
forthcoming in February—Bryant’s will fol- 1
low. To this paragraph we would especially i
call the readers attention, as the undertaking is !
one of great interest, expense and labor. The i
likenesses shall all be taken from portraits b*-!

SOUTHERN PIANTER, ’
AND HORTICULTURAL LYCEUM.
PUBLISHED AT MACON, GEORGIA,
BY M. BARTLETT.
’’'ipflE 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 i>ot 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 i
their prices sinking in value. Yetthesej
j results have heen 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 judicious employment of farm
ing capital. Can we make no general
and successful effort to improve the con
dition of agriculture and our 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,
l 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-—and he I
is also sensible th;>t the habits of a
practical cultivator are even opposed to
the acquisitions of some of the qualifica
tions requisite for such an undertaking.
No individual 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 convehient
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
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 ignorant of important facts, in re
gard to which he might be instructed by
others of very inferior attainments or ex
perience: and there is scarcely a single
reflecting cultivator who has not learned
some tact that is not generally known
and the communication of which would
be valuable to the agricultural communi
ty. If all such mites of information
could be drawn together and preserved,]
they alone would add incalculably to the
existing stockof our agricultural knowl
dge.
The Editor has no personal claim for
aid to thy 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 Itmited 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 1
publications on agriculture, Europeon
and American, and from such 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 ofthe
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 Cdniideration of public improve
ment by roads, railways and canals.
