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.

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.

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.

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.

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. l.cwis Layssartl. Halifax, N. C. Sept. 28, 1825 14t r 30 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, antiary 11 gq Notice. jJOINE months after date, application will be made to the Justices of the Inferior Court of Scriven County, when sitting for Ordinary purposes, for leave to sell a certain tract of Land containing two hundred acres being in the coun ty aforesaid, belonging to the Estate of Caleb Howell, deceased, for the benefit of the Heirs and creditors of the said deceased.
