| PROSPECTUS.
OF THE
GREENVILLE MOUNTAINEER.
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 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
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 anew 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 willbe 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 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 dollaisand fifty cents at the
expiration of six months, —though payment in
advance would be'greatiy preferred. Letters
on business must be addressed to

TO ~
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-roval, 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 Prim»r, 350 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.
It is proposed to lease it for a term of one or
moreyears. Toone who combines practically,
a knowledge for printing, with capacity for the
Editorial management oft he concern, this would j
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. Earlv
application is desirable to

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 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
riiany of the ablest writers in the country—men
whose names, if t hey 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 gardensof 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 will permit; besides wood cuts in great va
riety, and apiece of original or well selected
Music, at least twice a month.
Highly finished portraits of all the great ■
British’and American poets,from Chaucer down i
wards, are in preparation, and will appear in j
the Magazine from time to time, wiih a general;
critique on the author’s works, annexed to each; I
the head and review of Shakespeare will be
forthcoming in February—Bryant’s will fol

call the readers attention, as the undertaking is I
one of great interest, expense and labor. The I

SOUTHERN PLANTEK.
AND HORTICULTURAL LYCEUM.
PUBLISHED AT MACON, GEORGIA,
BY M. BARTLETT.
PfpHE 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 t.ot been proposed, and are scarcely
hoped for by even the most sanguine Ag
j 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 products and
profits have been long declining—our
lands are becoming impoverished, and i
their prices sinking in value. Yet these i
results have been produced throughout a
region possessing remarkable natural
I advantages and facilities for agricultural
; improvement and profit, and which pro
: raises the richest rewards for the invest
i 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?
Thecause 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 isenongh to state that
every existing cause of depression is mul-|
tiplied in power and effect, by the want i
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 ctideavor
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 he valuable in the practice of
every other in the Southern States.
The Editor is aware of the peculiar I
circumstances of the Editorial depart
ment of an Agricultural Journal —and he
l 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 lhe assistance
from others, which the Editor hopes to
obtain, he believes that the .Southern
Planter will serve as an efficient support
to the agricultural improveriiefit 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 promic d; 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 thispaper as simply a convenient 1
organ through which to exchange infor- '
mation—by means of which any inquiry 1
may be made, and speedily Answered— '
and if such interchange of opinions and 1
experience can be made as freely, and in 5
the same plain manner that the same per-1 '
sons might converse if brought together' 1
—then the most important and beneficial;
results of such a publication will be cer- 1
tain and immediately obtained. The c
most enlightened farmer is necessarily
often ignorant of important facts, in re- f
gard to which he might be instructed by a
others of very inferior attainments or ex
perience: and there is scarcely a single
reflecting cultivator who has not learned '
some fact that is not generally known 1
and the communication of which would 1
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 1
existing stockof our agricultural knowl
dge. ]
The Editor has no personal claim for (
ard to the proposed publication, nor does <
he ask it, except on the ground, of its e
tendency to advance the individual or 8
general interest of its patrons. Should 1
such considerations induce the ofl’er of 5
sufficient patronage to insure she useful- I
ness and permanency of the publication,
arrangements will be made for its contin- <
uance; but the work will not be contin- 1
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, i
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
i ra y-
I 2. Selections from the best periodical
publications on agriculture, Europeon'
- and American, and from such other agri
-1 cultural works as have not been publish
ed in this country, or are hot generally
aceessible.
3. Reviews or notices of agricultural
works.
, 4. The discussion of such objects of
political economy as are
with the preservation and support ofthe
interest of agriculture.
5 Chemistry as connected with agri
culture-—and with the same limitation.

ral History.
6. Reports of the topography, soils,
minerals, peculiar manners, and aetuaj
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 danals.

considered likely to effect the interest of
