AT P TTEKS • ILLE, S. C.
On the Ist of J tnuary 1830,
Ji WEEKLY JOURNAL, MAINLY DE
V -TED TJ THE AKTS
AND SCIENCES.
By ABN Ell LANDRUM.
XJTILI I’Y being the object of the
proposed publication, it shall be the
constant effort of the Editor to make
himself understood,—to express much
in a few words, ho that every thing,
whether original or selected shall be
arranged with an vye to brevity.
Though the main object of the
Journal shall be the improvement of
the arts aqd si ienCes, it shall, never
theless, contain a summary of Foreign
news—in short nothing shall be omit
ted, calculated to promote the public
good, or advan c the great cause of
human improvement-—and its columns
Bh.tll at all times be open to the free
and fair disi ussion of every legitimate
eu"je< t of public investigation*
Heretofore almost every journal
which has been offered to public pat
ronage, has been exclusively devoted
to politics, religion, literature, science
or commerce —the most iiSujl news
paper form, is a careless folio—hall
filled wi.li advertisements of no inter
cs* whatever to the public at large,
as the running away of horses, ne
groes, wives itc. while avarice and
ambition, the mainsprings to action i*
civilized society, have prostituted to
eel full ends, one of the greatest en
gi < s for public good which was ever
brought to light. The Herculean
taaiv of restoring the Fress to its pto
per use, shall constantly engage the
humble, but honest efforts of the Edi
tor—to w ipe off, as lar as practicable
the merited asp rsions from the news
paper anti the Fress.
The a* (position of mere science
without its application to the advance
ment of the arts, is as useless as uia
expended treasure—their separation
as unnatural as that of soul and body
—and so rarely do we find the man
of science, condescending drud
gery of extending the empire of the
arts by the practical application ol
tin principles of the former to the lat
ter, that few are aware of the results
of sin li an application—*ol* of the ex
ten’ >f a field which is almost as lit
tle explored by those “kind of laborers
as were the resources of the new
wdrld when i( received the first foot
step of the scientific man. lie is un
doubtedly the greatest benefactor to
Ins species who holds (he lump ol
• iem v the benighted artist, os rather
wmi sets the cx in pie of rendering
science subsciwient to art. But the
whole circle of the s i liv es, does not
hold forth a prospect of more utility
than the application of agricultural
improvement, to increase, the produce
of the earth* for this is the source
whence the far gmateat portion of the
human race are destined to draw their
support. The best methods of retain
ing fertility, of restoring it when lost,
of guarding ag onst the contingencies l
of the seasons, hr improving the gen- i
crati<>n of grain, fruits and animals,
ass id a prospect of mure lasting fame
and true rcticity to the laborer and
benefit hi mankind, than ail the con
quests of all the military chieftains.
lr,m Alexander to Bonaparte, who
manured the soil with human blood!
To advance this noble art by the ap
plication of scientific principles, shall
employ the unremitting efforts of the
Editor
Also the dissemination of moral, re
ms,’ and political light, as coding
to the peace and well ordering of so
ciety; will be steadily kept in view,
and will ever be regarded by an intel
ligent and virtuous people, as the in
valuable fruit* of a well ordered press.
But above all. the Editor will ever
feel it as a most sacred duty to pre
serve inviolate the freedom of the
press— the palladium oj our liberties;
and whoever betray s his sacret. trust,
must he abhored by every friend of his
country ard of man-—and an editor‘B
proeiteriug by eucb ignoble prostitu
* i
tionofa capacity to the useful, i*
sadly ominous of the perpetuity of our
highly prized—dear bought Rrpdblic
—-of rights more prized than life!
The Journal will be printed weekly
on good paper in quarto of eight pages
to each number, excluding advertise
ments hut such as are entitled to pre*
Nervation; leaving the octavo volume
freed from every thing unworthy the
preservative hand of the bookbinder —
and each volume to be accompanied
with a complete index.
An appropriate name given
on issuing the first number.

PROSPECTUS
FOR THE
SOUTHERN TIMES,
Ji new semi-weekly paper , to be pub
lished at Columbia S C.
’ urare in verba
magistri ”
rTTHJHE Subscribers are of opinion that a
JL new paper established at this place
and judiciously conducted,-must meet
with encouragement. Appeals are, now
a-days, so fiequently made to the liber
ality of the public, in the shape of propo
sals, (or publishing new journals, that one
is instinctly startled at a sight of a pro
spectus. the subscribers (having already
procured all the materials necessary fir
printing) had thought of flinging out a
number of their papers at once, with the
view of letting it speak for itself; bit
upon further reflection they concluded
that so unceremonious an introduction
into the world might, perhaps, ttuow some
suspicions upon the birth ot their fondling; I
and they at length resolved to carry it
through the established process of news
paper gestation. Every new light of the
world has been preceded by some fore
runner, indicating the object of its mission
and the means oy which that object was to
be accomplished. It is, therefore, un
fitting in the eyes of the subscribers, that
tne Southern 1 imes alone, should com
mence its labours without giving some
intimation of the nature of those labors,
and the ends which they are intended to
compass, lo the point then—
The general object of the Southern
I imes will be to diffuse information ot
eveij useful sort among the people, and
to lend its humble efforts to the improve
ment ot the age. In prosecuting this
purpose, an extensive range of knowledge,
must be embraced by its columns. Even
in these stirring times, only a portion of
it will be devoted to politics. Great pains
will be t ‘ken to make the best literary
and scientific selections; and well written
I communications ot the same characters
| will always meet with the roost distingish
ed attention. Peculiar care will be taken
to furnish the earliest and most acurate
foreign and Commercial intelligence,
l’he subscribers are aware that upon these
points the journals of all the inland towns
ol the Uniou are mainly deficient. Con
sidering the great benefits that must result
to all parts of the country, from speedy
anil authentic information of the Political
and C mmeicial affairs ol other Nations,
they cannot but wonder that hitherto
careless Planters and credulous Trades-!
men of the back country, have permitted
the speculator of the Atlantic to monop- 1
olisce all the intelligence of this sort, and!
retail it out to them as it may suit their
convenience To obviate this, thu sub
scribers w ill make arrangements, as soon
as possible, lor taking several of the most!
prominent Foreign Journals ; and viill
iuimsh at second hand only, the earliest’
news from London , Liverpool, Havre and
Fans. Jigr cu ture will by no means be
neglected. We believe the prosperity of
the South to be essentially based upon itj
audit shall be our com-tant care,not
only to improve its operation, but to sus
tain its piofits. Even the caterer for
light amusement shall not find us regard..
’ less of hi* pleasures. The most pleasing
editorial duty, will be that of gathering
contributions for the Poet‘s corner. Our
1 columns will sometimes seek a grace from
beautiful and tender sketches; and the
humorist may be assured, that our fellow
feeling for him is by far too great, to al
low his happiness to escape our recollec
tion.
We are aware that the character of ev
ery public journal depends upon the na
ture of its Politics, and acknowledge our
obligation to come out with a fair and
full avowal of the creed by which the
Southern Times will be conducted. We
will do so in few words and plain ones.
We are repul licans, and of the old Jeffer
sonian school. We are friends to the
Union; and deprecate the necessity of
making such an avowal.
We are opposed to Internal Improve
ments —We are opposed to the Tariff
in every shape and upon every ground.
We are opposed to all latiludinarean con
structions of written compacts—We sup
port the Constitution of ‘B9. We support
the union of our fathers. Our maxim in
politics will be to maintain first, princi
ples, secondly, men. We will be as im
partial always as our nature will allow us,
and though ever decided in politics, we
shall on no occasion transgress the
bounds of moderation. To temperate ami
manly communications, upon every side
of every question, our columns shall b
open. To all harsh and abusive language
either general or personal, against
men or measures, they shall be hermeti
cally closed.
Such will be the character of the South
ern Times. Under the exposition of our
principles and views, we venture to solicit
the patronage of our fellow citizens.
A gentleman of competent ability, has
been engaged to superintend the edito
rial department of the paper—and the
first number will be issued in January
next.
Terms—The semi-weekly paper to be
published on Tuesdays and Fridays on
super-royal paper, at five dollars in ad
vance, or six dollars if not paid within the
first six months.
For the weekly or country paper, to be
published ou every Friday, two dollars
and a half, if paid in advance; if not w ith

try paper will be published on the same
.sized sheet, and contain the matter of

editorial matters, to the Editor of the
