PROSPECTUS.
OF THE
GREENVILLE MOUNTAINEER.
THE Subscriber, in assuming the Editorial
duties of the Mduntdineer, deems it due
I to its present Suhsbribets, as well as those who
| may in future become s'tich, 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 Stare
as the firm and undeviatitig 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
tnat 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 in his generous de
sign, will obtain a new Press, an entirely new
fount oftypc, 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 ever}' exertion in his
powerto render the paper worthy of lhe 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 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
irou, Washington or Rust Press, hqual to any
in the State, to which is attached Composition
Rollers and Fixtures. The Types consists of
fonts of Long Prim»r, 350 lbs.; Brevier 160 Ibs:-
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 I
of job work.
It is proposed to lease it for a tern! of one or I
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 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

SOUTHERN PLANTER.-
AND HORTICULTURAL LYCEUM.
PUBLISHEDAT 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 sangfiine Ag
riculturalists. Notwithstanding the great
improvements in practice, and the exam
ples of successful farming that rrirtny in- j
dividuals have exhibited, it is still true,!
that our general average productsand
profits have been long declining—oiir
lands are becoming impoverished, and 1
their prices sinking in value. Yet these ’
results have been produced throughout a
region possessing remarkable natural
advantagesand facilities for agricultural
improvement and profit, and which pro
mises the richest rewards for the invest
ment and judicious employment of farfft
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?
Thecause of the depression bf agri-1
culture in the South are many—political i
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 bf the Editor; if suffi
ciently aided in the attempt, to endeavor
irl Some measures to supply this deficien
cy. by establishing an Agriciilttithl Pub
lication suited to obr situation and wants,
and which may serve, if properly eiiu
ployed, to exhibit to every fanlier; What
ever may be valuable in the practice bf
every ether in the Southeth States.
The Editor is awate of the peculiar
circumstances of the Editorial depart
ment of an Agricultural Journal—and he
is also sensible that the habits bf 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 J
Planted will Serve as an efficient support '
to the agi'icbhtiral improvement and geh-!
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 ah
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
mav 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 Saffie pet-1
sons might converse if brought together I
—then the most important and beneficial
results of such a publication will be Cer
tain and immediately obtained. The
most enlightened farther is necessarily
often ignorant of important facts, in re
gard to which be might be instructed by
others of very inferior attainments or ex
pcrience; 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 mites of information
could be drawn together and preserved,
they alone would add incalculably to the
existing stockof our agriculturarknowl
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 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 beat periodical
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. 1
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 countrv and
1 district in the Southern States from Which
i such information can be obtained,
j 7. The consideration of public improve
j ment by roads, railways and canals.
I 8. Discoveries in science, or Ifrts,
| and occurrences of other events tliat are
considered likely to effect the interest of
agriculture.
