PROSPECTUS.
OF THE
GREENVILLE MOUNTAINEER.
FSNHE Subscriber, in assuming the Editorial
J«- duties of the Mountaineer, deems it due
lo 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 theperpetuation 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 bj’ those who
aie initiated, to say, that not more than two thirds
ofthe 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
ieels 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 Itsnquld 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 generous de
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 ofthe 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 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 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

THE SILK CULTURIST.
Executive Committee of the Hartford |
County Silk Soeietv, have commenced a
publication, called the Silk Cullui island Far
mers Manual.
The object of the publication is to disseminate
a through knowledge ofthe cultivation ofthe
Mulberry Tree, in all iis varieties—the rearing
of Silk Worms—the production of Cocoons,
and the reeling of Silk, in the most approved
method. The importance of this knowledge |
will appear from the fact that the nett profits ot !
of landdevoted to the culture of Silk, is double, I
if not triple, tothat derived from any other crop 1
which can be put upon il. It is also a fact, that :
very moderate farmer ran raise several hun
dred dollars worth ofsilk, without interfering,
with his ordinary agricultural operations. But
in order lo avail himself of this facility to obtain
competency and wealth, which our soil and j
climate have given him, he muss possess him-1
self of information on the subject—for without’
it his attemps will be fruitless. It is, therefore I
the object of the Committee to diffuse this in
formation as extensively as possible, and at the j
cheapest rate. The publication will contain a I
complete manual or directory from sowing the i
seed to reeling the Silk, together with such |
facts and experiments, as will enable farmers
to raise Silk, and prepare it for market, without
further knowledge or assistance. It will also
contain interesting matter on agricultural sub
jects in general.
Terms.—TheCulturist will be published in
monthly numbers of Eight Quarto Pages, at
Fifty Cents a year. No subscription will be re
-eived unless paid in advance, and for not less
than a year.
Subscriptions received by F. G. Comstock,
Sec’y, Hartford, Conn., to whom also, Commu
nications may be addresesd, which if post paid,
will be attended to.
O’ Editors who will copy the above, shall
receive the publication for one year.

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 1 hat
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 property 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
is also sensible that the habits of a
practical cultivator are even opposed'to 1
the acquisitions of some of the qualifica
tions requisite for such an undertaking.
No individual however well qualified
lor 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
ihe 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 lo 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 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 stoekof our agricultural knowl
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, I
: arrangements will be made for its contin-i
J nance; bul the work will not be contin-j
; ued, unless in such form and manner as >
; will not be unworthy the coadjutors ol
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 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, soilsj
minerals, peculiar manncis, 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.
