JProspectus of the Southern Planter.
However the vnlue of works devoted to t. e impor
tant science of Agriculture may have been appreciated
in former times, the day has past when it becomes
necessary to enter into an elabotate defence of the
necessity attd worth of such publications, and ali prac
tical men arc now constrained to adn.it the bune-
ficiui influence which they exercise upon the agiicutlu-
ral industry of the country, as well in the increased
productions of labor as ir. the general improvement of
the soils. Impressed with these convictions, and the
no less startling truths which are daily developing to
the mind of every rt fleeting man, the necessity of di
verting a potion of that labor now employed in the pro
duction of our great staple, into other and more pofita-
ble employment: the growth of Bread-stuffs, 1 revis
ions, Stock of all kinds; thereby rendering the South
ern section of the Union, less dependent for all the ar
ticles of daily consumption, upon our Eastern and
Western brethren, and nflbtding a more ample field
for the improvement of our rapidly exhausting soils—
the undersigned have been induced to undertake the
publication of the Southern I’i.antkr, a work which
will be exclusively devoted to the cause of Southern
Agriculture, and w hatever pertains to the promotion of
the science, in till its varied ramifications, extending
as they do through all the Mechanic Arts.
This brief sketch of the objects and designs of the
work, will doubtless commend it to the favorable con
sideration of every intelligent l’lanter who feels the
necessity of such a medium of communication, and
to such, without further remark, we make a direct ap
peal in its behalf, confident that the extremely low-price
at which it is offered, will place it within the reach of
every farmer, however limited his means.
J TERMS-*-
The Southern Blunter will be issued every eth
er wick; the first number will appear enrly in January,

the work) ill a form suitable for binding. Eacli num

permanence than the continued nnd cordial support ol
the inhabitants ofthe Southern pi rtions of the Union;
and an appeal i- confidently made to the generous nnd
patriotic feelings of all Southerners, not to suffer the
present Review to languish Ituin the want of that sus
tenance which they can so welt afford.
Io its political character this Review w ill he Demo
cratic, and while avoiding carefully sehitns merely lo
cal in their nature, it will strenuously uphold Southern !
Interests, and advocate all questions of national im- j
port ti nee wit it boldness nnd frei dom. It is not in tend
ed, however, absolutely to exclude all articles main- |
taining piinciples difleient fr«m our ovn; but if nth- j
erwise wottliy ut admission, they will be inserted with j
a notice that I lie.i doors do not hold themseives respon- j
sible for the doctrines alleged. All religious discus- ;
sinus, of a sectaiiau nature, will be sedulously eschew- \
ed, and the Review will preserve a perfect iniparliaii- i
ty towards ali religious denominations.
The work will be printed on the best paper, and
with the best type, and every exertion will be made to I
render it worthy of the pattonage of the public gener
ally. It will be issued quarterly front Charleston, in !
January, Aptil, July and October; and arrangements
have been made, since its temoval to this city, to in- ^
sure the regular and punctual delivery of every num- j
bet as it appeal s, so that no disappointment may here
after arise from any failure in lids respect.
Mr Ritchie having withdtawn from the work, the
Subsetiber. in order that more time and attention may
be devoted to its improvement, and to the accuracy
and excellence of each number, has associated with
himself, in jhe Editorial management of thp Review,
that distinguished scholar, G. F rederic Holmes Esq.
of Orangeburg, at.d every effort will be made on the
part of both to give every satisfaction to its putions.
In consequence of the removal of the Southern
Quarterly Review to Charleston, and the reduction in
the expellees of printing and publishing attendant
thereon, the price of the wot k will ht-nct forward he
reduced from Ten Dollars to Five Dollars, payable an
nually in advance. The fifth number, which will com
mence another year, w ill appeal early in January 1843,
for which abundant materials have been already pro
cured. Many ofthe best writers and most profound
scholars ofthe country have already pledged them
selves to furnish articles for the ensuing year, at:d the
list of contributors is daily increasing in talent, in res
pectability and in number.
General agents for the work,—Silas Howe, Esq., for
Charleston; William Maybin, Esq , for Columbia and
the tippet districts of South Cat oliutt; and John C. Walk
er Esq., for New Orleans and the South- Wester a States.
The names of other agents appear upon the cover of
the Review.
All communications maybe addressed, post paid, to

\£TF kksch Metalic Pastk, for filling painful
Teeth, which are too witch decayed to receive a gold
pin^g. — Dr. P. would most particularly call the atten-
timj uf the public to this highly recommended and su-
pe , i ,, r article for plugging sensitive and decayed Teeth,
and whit'li restores those organs to ease and useful
ness, even in cases where one half the crown of the
lo *t;i is decayed away. Ir is applied in a minute,
without heat, causing no pain, at.d with hut trifling
pressure—and from its exceeding ductility, it accom
modates ’t»clf to the inequalities of the surface of the
cavity, ai d in a >hort time becomes hard and impene
trable, and renders the I noth as useful as it ever was
Ibis Paste almost entirely supercedes extraction,
and renders disagreeable teeth healthy and sweet.
CCP Teeth Inserted—From one to a full set fur-
nislu d. and in a style not to be excelled—and arranged
upon {dents, or with fine gold plates, springs, or clasps,
or upon the principle of suction or atmospheric pres
sure. Dr. P.’s assortment of Porcelain Teeth, front
nod jaw. with and without false gums, is not surpassed
by any Dentist in the South.
0CPExtracting Teeth.—The practice adopted
hv many DentLts, and Medical practitioners, of ex
tracting all painful and decayed Teeth. Dr. Pritchard,
injustice to humanity, and Dental science, unquali
fiedly condemns. It is an unfeeling practice—evinc
ing an ignorance of well established principles in the
treatment of complicated caries.—A practice that out
rages common sense—is tit war with physiology—and
often attended with consequences of an appaling char
acter. A very large majority of the molar or jaw
Teeth daily extracted, could bo speedily restored to
ease and usefulness, under an enlightened and judi
cious treatment, and rendered valuable for many years
and perhaps for life. This fact cannot he urged too
strongly upon the consideration of females, who suf
fer so much from Tooth-Ache—and who justly con
template the extraction of a Tooth with fear and tremb
ling
(XT’Tooth-Achf. Tills and Powders—warrant
ed. This prepatntion, used for curing Tooth-Ache,
effectually and radically—and rendering tender and
sensitive Teeth easy, is unrivalled.—Not one failure
can he adduced. This preparation effects its-purpose
in a short time; and often without the slightest pain.
Pei>ons who are suffering " i:h Tooth-Ache, or who
are annoyed with quick or sensitive Ti eth, should not
omit to give this preparation a trial. One application
of it to an irritated dental nerve is often found sufficient
to ensure a cure.

THE IRISH MANDARIN.
As Tom Spanker and I were walking
one fine afternoon last August in the in
closure in St. James’s Park, I stumbled
against my old chum, Guy Wildgoose, Esq. -
of Gadfly Hall.
\\ ildgoose was a sort of person whose
double one secs twenty times a-day in the
streets, and yet there was a something
about his appearance which gave h:m an
air of exclusive singularity. He was tall,
and remarkably thin, very good-humored,
very talkative, very restless, being eternal
ly on the wing. If you believed him, not
ouly Europe, hut the great globe itself had
been explored in his wanderings. The
consequence was, Guy had, like most trav
ellers, a penchant for marvellous narratives
called white lies. As Sheridan told his son,
Tom, who wished to go down a coal mine,
that he might say he had been there,* Is
that all 1 Then say you have been there
—it will do quite as well, So with Wild-
goose, he saw no fun in going down in a
diving hell to hear mermaids sing ‘ Deep
er and deeper still,’ nor going up in a bal
loon to smoke a cigar with the private
gentlemen taken in and done for there by
Dame Luna. No ; Wildgoose wisely
thought he might as well say he had paid
such visits, and seen such sights, as he
would find very few in the city who had
been there before him. He was very fond
of foreigners and strange characters, though
he did not speak ten words in any language
beyond his vernacular, but had, as he com
plimented himself, a fortunate natural facil
ity in almost intuitively discovering their
meaning. Suclt was Wildgoose.
‘ Ha ! my hoy, how are you V said he,
heartily shaking me by the hand.
* Is it possible V said I, drawing hack,
with a most serious look, * eh I What
could induce you to come to town V
‘ Ah ! that’s what I thought this morning
at Doublin’ (Spanker squeezed my arm.)
* The weather looked queer—wind was
fair, though—steam up—oft’I went. Sea
in foam—literally flew across—quickest
passage that I think ever will he made.—
Didn’t stop—jumped on Patent Double-
Lightning-Power Express Engine—whiz,
whirl—whiz, whirl—and hear I am.’
Spanker coughed, and looked after a
nursery-maid just past, whose mouth and
Blue eyes were opened full upon Guy.
‘ Well, good-bye !—glad to see you ;
give me a look in to-morrow early, as 1
have some thoughts of lunching at Dieppe,
to see how the railroad gets on ; and cross
ing the Channel will f^ive an appetite for
dinner.’
1 promised and we parted.
* Ha ! ha ! ha 1’ roared Tom Spanker.
‘ Why, you must have been in a madhouse
to have made that chap’s acquaintance!’
‘ No Tom ; that’s a pleasure to come.
Wildgoose is a gem of the first water, cer
tainly, for singularity ; hut he’s only mad
north-west V
A sudden idea here entered my noddle.
‘Tom,’said I, after making him in a few
moments acquainted with Wildgoose’schar-
acter, * what do you say if we invite him to
dinner at chambers, and have a glorious
spree 1’
* Capital ! We’ll beat up for recruits.
Who can we enlist ?
* Why,’ said I,* we must have a mixture,
prizes and blanks,—audience as well as ac
tors. Society, like singing, is nothing with
out fats and sharps.’
‘ Well !’ there’s Cliafiferwell—funny fel-
] °w-—plenty to say for himself. He’d talk
the lund-lesr of a horse off, or what’s more
difficult, an old woman out of an arm-chair.
—We’ll hook him Sharp, No. 1.
‘Agreed ! Then theie’s Snody Pooks, a
splendid setoff to Chaft'erwell, the Clapton
poet, and sapient scion of the firm of Pooks,
Snody, and Pooks, Flat No. 1.
‘ Good !—and I think, if he’s come-at-able,
Count Munchausenini. He’ll he a match
for Wildgoose; he’s an amusing dog—Sharp
Ao. 2.
‘ And I’ll hook the Honorable Augustus
Fitzdoldrum. He'll go any where fora
dinner. Flat No. 2. Tim O’Blarney, my
cousin—I must have him. If 1 don’t invite
him to a spread, he’ll make it a personal
affront. I have it—I’ll make him a Chinese:
thin chap—flat face, yellow mug, bald head
—Sharp No. 3. Come, that, 1 think, will
do.’
Full of our plan, Torn and I did not let
the grass grow under out feet. O’Blarney
growled at first at my telling him the con
dition of his being a guest, that of wearing
a tail, a Chinese dress, and to talk gibberish,
declaring it would be a disgrace to his fam
ily ; but I silenced his scruples by Valter-
nulif, which Montesquieu says is ‘ le plus
conraincant' affair in the world.
‘ You come as Hum Fum O’Ho ! or ne
ver hope to stick your shanks under my
mahogany for the term of your natural life,
O’Blarney ; and, what is more, I’ll never
accept another hill for you.’
He-closed with a groan.
The only thing now wanted was lo make
sure of Wildgoose ; and the best plan, it
struck me, to attain that important point,
was, on my visit next day, to invite him out
of old acquaintanceship, and then to employ
the remainder of the day in introducing him
to the distinguished foreigners whom he
would meet. Spanker having coincided in
my views, it was arranged that he should
see the Count and, with his assistance, get
up the costumes for the occasion,
When I called upon Wildgoose, I found
him with a large map of Europe before
him, which he appeared to he very atten
tively examining, and noting down some
particular route : a mathematical case, scale
and compasses, and a gazetteer were lying
on a small'table on his right.
‘Ah ! Jack, here you are. Found me at
work, eh 1 1 think I can heat " aghorn to
India yet. Sit down. Breakfasted yet 1
Don’t say no—splendid hoar s head—saw
the hoar killed by the Archduke Frederick,
when I was boar-hunting with him at the
forest of Bursfengutz, in Bohemia. Iam
an early riser; early bird catches the
worm, you know.’
‘I have come, Wildgoose, to ask a favor,
an<l one to which l will take no denial or
excuse,—none, poz, none. Guy, you must
come and dine with me. I knew your asso
ciations and feelings, and lost no time in or
der to render the little hospitality I was
anxious to show my old friend palatable; so
1 personally solicited the company of sever
al distinguished foreigners.’
‘My dear Jack, I really—’
‘I’ll hear no excuse ; you must come.'
‘I have an engagement at Ross’ Hotel,
in the Desert,oil that day, and—’
‘I don’t care ; you must dine with me,
and take you* dessert afterwards ; that is, if
you don’t like mine, and your company.-—
I have a few visits to make, and will call in
an hour, and introduce you to a few of the
friends you will meet. I know you'll like
them. You recollect Baron Dumcrambo,
that figured away here some years since,
and now supposed to be a monk of La
Trappe!’
‘\ es! to be sure.’
‘Monk !—all fudge ! I’ve nailed him.—
bplendid fellow! He’s been adjutant-gen
eral to Abdel Kadir from the commence
ment of the Algerine war, arid is now over
here on some secret spec. I think he is
going to revolutionize the oldest coloDy in
New Zealand in favor of the expatriated
Poles and impoverished Paisley weavers.
Unsettle the settlement—grand idea, eh V
‘Splendid ! I should really like to see
him. What lime did you say V
‘Six, slick.’
‘1 must note him down,’ said Wildgoose,
pulling out his tablets. ‘Baron Dumcram-
‘No! no ! he is now an Italian refugee
Count Munchausenini.’
‘The family of the last of the Doges V
‘I es ; of the last dodge—the Artfullini.
Well! then, you know the great Geiman
Jews of Frankfort, the great capitalits,—
czars of the cash,—monarchs of every
money market,—who can pull down or set
up as many diadems as there are days in a
week,—who can find the sinews of w ar and
salvation sublunary with sovereign potency
and swiftness,—the great Nathan Von
Sw'eltergelt and Co.’
‘Know them ! bang it’ man ! their credit
is limitless. When I was exploring Africa
with poor Clapperton, the reigning Sultana
at Timbuctoo, the Begum Tittypoo, gave
us an order on her treasury for a lac of gold-
dust, by the mere mentiou of his name—
yes, we had a lac of gold-dust.!
‘No doubt of it,’ thought I, fiiend Guy ;
but no lack of imagination.’
‘Well, I have him ; mark him well, and
he’ll put you up to a thing or two touching
Exchange doings,—hull and bear, put and
call, hang, and do cock your ear to him
By the way, how is your ear V
I forgot to say Wildgoose was rather
deaf.
‘Why, the left is not so well.’
‘Sorry to bear it. I must take care how
I place you, then. ‘Then, there’s that ris
ing genius and orator, Chaft’erwell—the
Demosthenes of the nineteenth century,
who defeated in the most splendid display
of forensic eloquence the celebrated Mr.
Serjeant Gammon in the great case of No-
matterwhat vs. Everythingelse.’
‘Anybody else, Jack V
‘ Why, by way of variety I was obliged
to ask some of our own countrymen. I
sent a pressing letter to a rising genius—a
star of the first brilliancy in the firmament
of song; Byron is a rushlight to him, and as
for Moore, neither man, woman, or child
will give a maravedi for Moore’s lyrics
when once they read the inspired poet of
the ‘ Syncretic Transcendentals,’—the al
ready illustrious, and never to ex, hut al
ways to rZeVtinguish, Snody Pooks.’
‘ 1 never heard that name before,’ said
Wildgoose.
‘1 daresay not; lie has just emerged
from the obfuscating atmosphere of his fa
ther’s country-house. Dr. Johnson, you
know, said, you might as well prevent the
sun from shining as genius from showing
itself, even under the disadvantage of Boeo
tian gloom. So with Snody Pooks; his
* Farewell lines to a Ledger’ are beautiful.
* Ledger-lines, eh V said Guy,—‘ curious
subject!—were they the red lines V
‘ No Guy : but lines that will be read.’
* Any one else, Jack P said Wildgoose,
carefully noting down every name, to store
his memory for the event.
*1 think Guy, all spreads of any preten
sion should have a spice of aristocracy,
just by way of keeping down any ultra-ple
beian feeling which may by possibility e-
vaporate with the wine,—therefore the
Hon. Augustus Fitzdoldrum will join us.
A man of very contemplative character, and
who doubtless would prove highly imagin
ative if he would allow his talent to escape ;
but he exercises such a wonderful control
over the safety-valve of his ideas that you
are never in any danger of an explosion.
He is a ruminating animal, and chews the
cud. I think his mother must have had a
cow in her eye at a ceitain period, he is
such a ’
* Calf, you’d say. Any one else?’
* Now, Guy, my old friend, prepare your
self to be announced as the first fellow guest
at an English table of a mandarin, a Yellow
Button, on a secret embassy from the Ce
lestial Empire V
‘ What!’ said Wildgoose, amazed,—* a
Mandarin !—you—don't—say—so !’
Wildgoose,’ said I with emphatic earn
estness, and looking as solemn as an under
taker at his first order, ‘ we have known
each other many years. Promise me on
the faith of old acquaintanceship one thing,
Guy,—that you will never disclose the fact
of the Manderin being ofthe party.’
* 1 swear Jack,’ said Guy with equal so
lemnity. ‘ Has he been long in Eng
land V
* Not long ; he doesn't speak a word of
English; so any question you may ask you
had better put through me. I know the
patois of the provinces of Whi-Whi and
Sing-Song, and will interpret for you. He’»
a great wag in his way.’
‘ Is be, though V said Wildgoose. * I
never heard a Chinese joke.’
* I think, now, that I have told you whe
the folks are whom you will meet, you will-
not want to visit previously. If you should
like, however—'
* Why, Jack,—old fellow ! between? you
and I, it would he better if I was Co read
up ; for it isn’t every day one tumbles into
such society, and one would look particu
larly foolish to be found at fault, eh ? so I’ll
waive the introduction, and await the plea
sure of meeting the visiters* over the vi

‘ \ ery good, Guy ; remember your prom
ise—you will come V
‘ Come! Jack ; I would not miss it for
the fee-simple of Golconda’s mines! By
the way, talking of mines, when I was in
Mexico last year— r
* Guy, I’m in a hurry, and must, in order
to secure these distinguished characters,
keep them in view. I have been at some
pains to secure them, and all for you ; and,
if you disappoint me, perdition catch my
soul! but I’ll—I’ll—’
* "What V said Goy.
* I’ll shave you,’ said I. (And here, a-
gain, I must apologize to my reader for
not mentioning it before, Wildgoose wore
an euormous beard,) Addi& !'
The next day was devoted to preparations
for the grand evear. An unexceptionable
dinner was ordered at the tavern we usu
ally patronized, and no stint of liquids in
quantity or quality wherewith to lubricate
the riands. Munchauseaini arrived about
