TVve fetav ot the, sout\v.
To be devoted to tlie illustration and defence 1
of tbe interesting Doctrine of the Uni- t

Souls of the Human Family, j.
and of the Unity of God.
BV A SOCIETY OF BELIEVERS ON
‘■CHRIST THE LORD.”
Melius non tangere clamo. 1
THE Puhl i-hers of the proposed Paper j
with all such men, who delight to witness the \
happinessof their felloiv-creatures, do rejoice a
in observing the »itl march ot science, and S
beholding the extension of intellectual im- i
provement in she-e hi ;d United Slates, s
and thev believe tint to- re is no constitution,
no form of e,••"eminent on the face of the*
earth, in-mgsT, men, that alfords so many ■,
facilities, I r the accomplishment of the noble i
purposesof science , ~j moral improvement,!!
as the American coi -ntution anil the appli- i
cation of its government.
Under the powerful protection and benign
influence of the government of these United
States, there is no impediment to the rapid
and continued improvement ot the human
mind, but many motives are exhibited calcu
lated to excite its attention and engage its en
quiries, as well as to stimulate its energies.—
Here every man may think freely —every
tongue may speak boldly—every pen may be
employed to write Jearle.ssly — every press
may print lawfully, and every mail may
circulate 1 ’ widely, the productions of wit,
faun/, or wisdom, for every reader to rea l
without fear of giving offence ; and to con
template on all the subjects of human in
vcstigatinh and conjecture; and here too,
are to he found a large collection of sub
jects of curiosity and admiration, sufficient
to draw the attention and engage (he reason
ing powers of the man of active genius, and
even to stimulate the supine.
We believe, however, that the present and
eternal happiness of llie whole hum in family,
arc subjects of the greatest importance, and

therefore, solicitous, that all (lie friends of
man, and true believers in the Scriptures and
Disciples of “ Christ the Lord” would aid
in the undertaking. And we believe, also,
that there are a large number of gentlemen
of talents and benevolence, in these Southern
Slates who are true believers in the consola
tory doctrine of Universal Salvation , and in
that of the Unity of God, and who will assist
in leading the minds of their fellow creatures
to the knowledge of the truth as it is in Je
sus, by contributing their reasonable exposi
tion of the Scriptures of Divine light, (o
render “ The Star of the South n pleasingly
luminous, to guide the wise, to the babe of
Bethlehem, the Saviour of all men.
In addition, to this prospect of enriching
the columns of 7Vie Star of the South, the
publishers will have the pleasure and bene
iiis of selecting from a nun . cal
publications ol the same n< ign,
now published in the Nortl tern
States.
Although the primary ol mb
lishers, will be to illustrate. the
doctrine of the Univer.su and
happiness of the souls ot the human family,
and the Unity of God, and to diaseminate
the knowledge thereof, yet they will admit
into the columns of The Star oj the South,
well writte i articles, which may he intend
ed to establish a contrary doctrine, but will
reserve ro themselves the right of animad
verting on them in the spirit id’candor, and
with the politeness of the gentlemen, tender
ness id Christians, considerations of Philoso
phers, and love of Brothers, whom they be
lieve all mankind to be.

NATIONAL TALES. J
A NEW
PERIODICAL WORK. ,
THE first volume of a Series of Tales, 1
translated and compiled from the works of ‘
different authors, and not previously pub- t
lished in the United States, was issued
from (he New-Yoik press in the month of
July last; and in October next, a second
volume will make its appearance.
In the preface to the first volume, the
editor announced it to be his intention to
continue the work quarterly, if the public
patronized the undertaking. Since then he
has had the most satisfactory proofs, that
his efforts to increase the present stock of i
literary amusement and instruction have '■
been generally acceptable. The following '
are a few of the testimonies in its favor, '
which have appeared in different journals :
“ From ihe examination our leisure lias per
mit led us to give it, we think it quite an enter
aming volume f>,r those who generally devote
themselves to that branch ol reading. It is the
first of a projected series, and purports to be
ranslated and compiled from Ihe writings of dit
erent uu'huis, and we infer that the design oi
he editor is to collect and present such pieces as
are really worthy of preservation, but which, a. (
they are scattered through a variety of publics
'ions, are fugitive and perishable. The number!
oefore in (which to the credit of the editor, he
t spoken, is on handsome paper and very wed (
printed,) contains eleven tales, pretty equal in
merit, and so selected at to suit a diversity ol
■aste.” —New York Statesman.
“We have not had leisure to peruse the whole,
but from what w<; have read, we entertain m
d übt that the book will be sought after by those
cailers who hud in works ol fiction, a relaxation
from the labours and anxiety of business. The
ntndsome style in which ihe volume is got up, i
wi 1 powerfully recommend it to the notice of the j
hi'ties.” —Mercantile Advertiser. ,
“ Die object of the editor, as he declares it i
sis preface, is to preserve fugitive tales o( merit,
ttat might otherwise sink into oblivion, and als'
in communicate to the public such deserving ori
ginal pieces as may come wi'hin his reach. He
ippears to have made in the present volume a
very interesting compilation, and we doubt not it
v 11 be read with great pleasure.’’— N. Y. Gaz.
A b'-uutilul little volume eultti :a “ Na tonal
Calcs,” has just been published by the booksei 1
lers of tills city. The compiler and editor nat
shown considerable taste in the present selection, !

.A lew York Nat, Advocate. 1
“ The fust volume of u projected, series of 1

i’ff’erent authors in every countiy, who have ae

■as just been published In New-York. It contains
el ven well-written stories, some sober and some
gay. One of their best qualities (at least, that
which will gain the popular (avor) is their bre
vity.”— Boston Galaxy.
“ The selections, for the present volume, are, ;

Some people, we are aware, make it a point to >
set up against tins sort of writing a most obstre t
perous and pertinacious cLmour, whxli is cither
sheer affection, or the fruit of a dull and unex
citable fancy. We insist that there is more true
talent, more originality, m >re genius, re q fireii
for the invention of a really good tale, aye, ever .
of a “ Tale of Nursery,” than is wanted for the
concoction of v lumes of the solemn quackery
wh ch passes these days of humbug for science
r philosophy.”— New. York Hex dew.
Having offered a premium for original ,
domestic tales, the editor calculates on giv- ;
ing a considerable portion of these in the
progress ol the work. Already several
competitors have appealed, whose produc
tions, if approved of, shall have a place in
the forthcoming volume.
“National Tides” will in future be pub
lished at 42 William-street, New-York, at
four dollars per annum. To subscribers
wlto transmit a years subscription in ad

regularly as published, to any post town in

Single volumes may be had at one dollar.

PATENT COTTON PRESS.
THE Subscriber respectfully informs his friends
and the public in general, that he has invented
A 3S , erw & useful Machine,
for the purpose of Packing Cotton into square
' Rales, by the pon/er of a Lever, acting on
a I'n.lcum, -which drives the follower
that presses the Cotton into the Rale.
The power of this Machine is such, that from
_ 450 to 500 pounds of Cotton can be pressed in
[ five yards of 42 inch bagging with considera
ble ease, and in a very short lime. The superior
: advantages of this machine are clearly manifest,
that in addition to the small quantity of bagging
required, fulrch certainly is an object,J two
hands can with great ease, pack from eight to
twelve bales in one day, if the cotton is conven
ient, by having some a sislance in sewing, which
is by far the most tedious part. The simplicity
-of this machine and its superior power are great
ly admired by mechanical artists, and in fact all
who have seen it. By a mechanical demonstra
. tion it is proven, that the pnwer of the lever
and its concomitants are equal if not superior to
. any, even to the wedge if properly applied.
1 Prom the high and frequent encomiums past
on the invention, the subscriber is induced to of.
r er it to the Public as something worthy of their
immediate notice. Any person that may want,
can apply to the subscriber. The probable cost
will be FIFTY DOLLARS, when all materials
ire found, and EIGHTY, if not found. Patent
Letters having been obtained from the Depart
ment of State of the United Slates, all persons are
prohibited from making or using the same without
legal right. All infringements will meet with the
rigor of the law, made and provided in suen cases.
Any mechanic that may visli to be benefited by
the invention, may by paying a very moderate
sum secure individual county or state rights. The
same is offered to farmers and all others.
The sze of the Machine is sixteen feet long,
three feet wide, and can be used in a house of six
teen feet pitch, or brought so near the outside that
the cotton can be conveyed by a tube from the Gin
. to the Press.

AND STEAM BATHS.
DR. HOUEL, a French Physician, respectfully
informs the public, that he has established
STEAM and MEDICAL BATHS in Augusta.
The very high repute these Paths have acquired
in Europe, v here (although a late discovery)
I ll) ey are to be found in every hospital, and the
great cures they have performed in Boston, Phi
ladelphia and Charleston, can leave no doubt of
their efficacy. The most gentle as well as the
most powerful medicines are administered by that
means, without any pain, trouble or disgust to tke
patient.
? They are a never failing remedy in all cutane
l ous affections j from Psora, Rir.gwormi, See. to
Scald head and Leprosy, They also have never
i iiied of success in either acute or chronic rheu
matism.
In glandular obstructions, chlorosis, anasarcous
twellings, incipient dropsy j in all diseases of the
joints, gouty affections, dispersion of tumors, ill
cured syphilis, spasmodic or nervous affections ;
m all bilious disorders, dyspepsia, hypocoudriasis,
epilepsy—these baths have been found mos< ser
viceable,and have often succeeded even in here
ditary complaints. In fine, tins manner of admin
istering almost every remedy belonging to the
healing art, may be rendered applicable to almost
every case, and (it is repeated) without any pain,
trouble, or disgust to the patient. 4
As these ha? hs are not yet generally known,
Dr. Houei, will be happy to give the most res
pectable references to persons who have been
cured by taking them,
