T\7"E have been induced to publish the Mlß
* v BOR, from the firm conviction’that the in
creasing wealth and population of the counties
bordering on the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers,
in this section of Georgia, call loudly for a chron
icler of the times.
AVe do not deem it necessary to go into a
lengthy detail of the doctrines tins paper will sup
port, or the prmc'pk'S it will inculcate, anti the
grounds upon which they are predicated—but
will merely state that it is intended t« difiuv" -gen
eral Information the m a Lni
rncstic, Foreign and Political nature. A consid
erable portion of its columns will be devoted to
Literary and Miscellaneous matter, which depart
ment shall receive particular attention.
\Ve deem it necessary, however, to state that the
political stand w hich the Mirror will assume, will
be a firm and independent one; and in support ol
the State Rights and Anti-Van Bi ken party
of Georgia; but conducted with moderation anil
prudence, w itliout descending to the low billings
gate which is so characteristic of the political
Newspapers of the day. Claiming the right to ex
ercise an opinion of our own, we shall lie willing,
at all 'hues to admit that right in others—and when
ever occasion requires us to speak of the doctrines
or opinions of our jvolitio-.il opponents, w e shall do
so with respectful consideration.
TERMS—The Ge! jia Mirror will he pub

” PROSPECTUS. :
OF THE
Soulhei’H lLiiorary ]Rc*<t£ng , <*i , «
'THUS a monthly Magazine, Me voted chiefly
A to Literature, but occasionally finding
room also for articles that fall within the scope ol
Science ; and not professing an entire disdain of
tasteful selections, though its matter has been, as
it w ill continue to be, in the main, original.
Party Politics, and controversial Theology, as
far as possible, are jealously excluded. They are
sometimes so blended wiili discussions in litera
ture or in moral science, otherwise unobjection
able, as to gain admittance for the sake of the
more valuable matter to which they adhere: bat
whenever that happens they are incidental, only;
not primary. They are dross, tolerated only be
cause it cannot well be severed from the sterling
ore wherewith it is incorporated.
Reviews and Critical Notices, occupy their
due space in the work: and it is the Editor’s aim
that they should have a threefold tendency—to
convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths
or interesting incidents as are embodied m the
wovLk reviewed,—to direct the readers attention
to books that deserve to be read—and to warn
him against wasting time and money upon that
large number, which merit only to be burned. In
this age of publications that by their variety and
multitude, distract and oveiwhelmn every undis
criminating student, rm artial criticism, gov
erned by the views just mentioned, is one of the
most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries
to him who does wish to discriminate.
Essays and Tales, having in view utility or a
musement, or both— Historical sketches— and
Reminisences of events too minute for History,
yet elucidating it, and licightning its interest
may be regarded as forming th« staple of the
work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is
published—sometimes of no mean strain—to man
ifest and to cultivate tile growing poetical taste
and talents of our country.
The times appear, for several reasons, to de
mand such a work—and not one alone, but many.
The public mind is feverish and irritated still,
from recent political strifes: The soft, stssuasive
influence of Literature is needed, to allay that
fever, and soothe that irritation. A r ice and folly
are rioting abroad:—They should be driven by
indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, into tlieir
fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an im
mense proportion ol our people Every spring
should be set in motion, to arouse the enlighten
ed, and to increase thOr number; so that the
great enemy of popular government may no lon
ger brood, like a portentnius cloud, over the des
tinies of our country. And to accomplish aii
these ends, what more powerful agent can be em
ployed, than a periodical on the plan of the Mes
senger; if that plan be but carried out in prac
tice ?
The South peculiarly requires such an agent.
In all the Union, south of \Vashington, there are
but two Literary'periodicals! Northward of that
city, there are probably at least twenty-five or
thirty! Is this contrast justified by the wealth,
the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary
taste of tlie Southern people, compared with
those of the Northern? No: for in wealth, tal
ents and taste, we may justly gJaim, at least/ an
equality with our brethren md a domestic insti
tution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, af
fords us, if we choose., twice the leisure for read
ing and writing which they enjoy.
It was from a deep SCTIoO 01 this loced want, that
the word Southern was engrafted on this peri
odical : and not with anv design to nourish lecal
prejudices, or to advocate supposed local inter
ests. Far from any such thought, it is the Edi
tor’S* fervent w ish, to see tne North and South
bound endearingly together, forever, in the silken
bands of mutual kindness and affection. Far
from meditating hostility to the north, he lias al
ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw,
much of his ‘-hoiccst matter thence; and happy
indeed will he deem himself, should his pages, by
making each region know the other better contri
bute in any essential degree to dispel the low ering
clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and
to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fra
ternal love.
The Southern Literary Messenger has
now reached the 11th No. of its third volume
How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered,
is not iof the Editor to say. —He believes, how
ever that it falls not further short of them, than
human w eakness usually makes Practice fall shut
of Theory.
CONDITIONS.
1. The Southern Literary Messenger is pub
lished in monthly numbers, of 64 large super
royal octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and
neatly covered, at >5 a year—payable in advance.

If punctual payments are ever n cc «--saiy, they are
pre-eminently so in the ease such a puMira
tion,-- —pirnh literary —alnr-'St wholly original—
and destitute 'of the vitnJ aid w hich newspapers
derive lk»m advertisements.
Mv 'LL is at stake, in this enterprise.—lt is a
ventuMf* stimulated indeed by some hope of e
inoliment; but founded largely, also upon the
well warranted expectation of rallying southern
talents and Foutlu in public spirit, around the
