EDITORS.
MRS. AXX S. STEPHEN'S A WILLIAM TV. SNOWDEN.
Assisted by many rs the most popular lEnters.
SINCE the publication of the ATuy number, the
demand for the Ladies’ Companion has
been unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine
anticipations. A, the commencement oi the vol
ume an additional number of copies were printed,
v. iiicll was considered at tiie time adequate to sat
isfy all the orders winch might be received, and
leave a considerable number oil hand for subse
quent calls. The publisher is more than gratified
in stating that the whole edition was nearly ex
hausted before tire issuing of the seventh number
of the volume; and at tins time but very few com
plete sets remain on hand, to supply the numer
ous orders which are daily received from every
section of the United States.
Inconsequence ot this great unforeseen increase
of new subscribers, he lias determined to double
tiie number of impressions for the subsequent
year; while he most gratefully appreciates the un
precedented encouragement extended to tiie La
dies* Companion, and at the same time he begs to
assure the readers of tiie Magazine and the pub
lic in general, that it is ids ardent resolution to
meet it with a corresponding liberality on his part
to merit its continuance.
Splendid Steel Engravings by our best ar
tists, accompany cacli number—illustrated by
Tales and spirited Sketches—which will, as here
tofore, continue magnificent and far superior to
those published ii any other Magazine iu Amcri
ca.
The Ladies’ Cos npanion contains a larger quail
till l of reading tha 1 any other magazine issued iti
this country, and its subscription price is only
three dollars a year, while tiie great combination
o( talent secured for the coining year will render
it unequalled by any other periodical.
Its Literary Character! w ill undergo con
siderable change, as the publisher of the Ladies’
Companion, in order to show his appreciation of
the public favor already extended to him so liber
ally, h: * ecured the aid of Mrs. ANN S. STE
PHENS, late Editor of the ‘Portland Magazine,’
and author of a series of the most beautiful and
popular tales ever presented to an American
public. No lady possessing greater \ariety of tal
ent, or better calculated to aid in conducting a
Ladies’ Magazine, could have been selected from
the galaxy of female genius which is the glory of
our country. Iu addition to the powerful talents
ot Mrs. Stephens, the proprietor lias secured a
list of contributors, which combined will render
the Ladies’ Companion one of the most interesting
and t..lcnteu Magazines of the day.
Mrs. L. 11. Sigourney, Mrs. Jane E. Locke,
Mrs, Woodliull. Mrs. Emma C. Embury, Miss
A. D. Woodbridgc, Miss 11. L. Beasley, Miss
Charlotte Cushman, Miss Mary Emily Jackson,

8. Meckenzie, l. i„ and.
W ith many others who will occasionally contri
bute to the pages of the w ork, and every exertion
will be made to render tho Ladies’ Companion,
what a work devoted to the female portion of the
community should be, interesting, useful and in
structive.
The Musical Department is under the su
pervision of Mr. J. Watson, whose qualifications
for the task are too well known to require our tes
tiniouv.
r l his department of the Ladies’ Companion has
ever commanded a large share of attention, and
been looked upon with no little interest by its rea
ders, and more especially the Ladies, whom the
publisher is i.i the highest degree anxious to
please. It will continue to be a subject of more
than usual care to him, and to tiie Professor,
under whose supervision it is placed, to make that
portion of the magazine allotted to Alusic, more
than ever deserving of the countenance of every
lover of music. It has ever been and will contin
ue to be tlie desire to have all pieces of Music
printed concctly an l free from errors.
The Work in General. Over every depart
ment an equally careful supervision will be strict
ly exercised by the Editors, and till appropriate
expenditures will be liberally bestowed, as it is the
design of the publisher, with the aid of his con
tributors and the adviceof his friends to make the
Ladies' t'ompanion distinguished for the beauty
and accuracy of its typography; the variety and
high tone of its literary articles ; the quality and
value of its music; and the unequalled splendor
of its Pictoral Embellishment's.
It is the determination _of the publisher to use
every means to maintain the superiority which
the Ladies’ Companion has obtained. For four
years lie has steadily pursued a course of improve
ment, and lie Hatters himself that his present fa
cilities are such as to give the Ladies’ Coin].anion
eminent advantages overall other publications of
its character.
From the foregoing it w ill be perceived that the
Ladies’ Companion embraces every department
within the range of Belles-Lettres and the Fine
Arts; ami no exertions or expense will be deem
ed too great to render the work equal to any other
extant. The flattering and general testimonials
of nearly every cotemporary journal in the United
States, and in fact, many on the other si<|p of tire
Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undeniable
claims of the Ladies’ Companion to the support
iff the public generally. There is no work that
gives its readers such great returnfur their subscrip
tion.
Ihe Prize Articles will all be published du
ling the year. These articles will comprise the
successful candidates for the premiums of one
thousand dollars awarded by a committed of liter
ary gentlemen in August last.
TERMS.— I hree Dollars a year in advance, or
four during the year. No subscription received
for less than one year.

in this section of Georgia, call lentilv for a chron

We do not deem it nc e ;sary to go into a

PROSPECTUS.
OF THE
Southern Literary Itfesscmgrer.
TTY HIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly
SL to Literature, but occasionally finding
room also for articles that fall within the scope of
Science ; and not professing an entire disdain of
tasteful selections, though its matter lias been, as
it will continue to be, in the main, original.
Party Politics, and controversial 'J'heologif, as
far as possible, arc jealously excluded. M hov are
sometimes so blended w ith 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 : but
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 ns are embodied in the
works reviewed, —to direct the readers attention
to books that deserve to be read—and to warn
him against wasting time and money ijpon that
large number, which merit only to be burned. In
this age of publications that by their variety and
multitude, distract and ovcrwhelinn every undis
criminating student, impartial criticism, gov
erned by the views just mentioned, is ouc of the
most inestimable and indi'pcusablc of auxiliaries
to him who docs 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, arid heighfning its interest—
may be regarded as forming tlm staple of the
work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is
published—sometimes of no mean strain—to man
ifest and to cultivate the 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.
1 he public mini] is feverish and irritated still,
from recent political strifes: The soft, nssuasive
influence of Literature is needed, to allav that
fever, and soothe that irritation. Vice and folly
are rioting abroad They should be driven by
indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, into their
nttiiig haunts. Ignorance lords it over an in,,
aieijse proportion of our people:—Every spring
should be set in motion, to arouse the enlighten
ed, and to increase their number; so that the
great enemy of popular government may no lon
ger brood, like a portentous cloud, over the Des
tinies of our country. Vnd to accomplish ;i j|
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 Washington, there are
but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that
city, there arc probably at least twenty-five or
thirty ! Is this contrast justified by the wealth
the leisure, tho native talent, or the actual literary
taste of the Southern people, compared wit,,
those of the Northern? No: for in wealth, tal
ents and taste, w e may justly claim, at least, an
equality with our brethren «nd a domestic insti
tution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, af
fords us, if w e choose, tw ice the leisure for read
ing and writing which they enjoy.
It was from a deep sense of this local want, that
the w ord Southern was engrafted on this peri
odical: and not with any design to nourish local
prejudices, or to advocate supposed local inter
ests. Far from any such it is the !;<(,.
tor’s fervent wish, to see toe North and Souih
bound endearingly together, forever, m the silken
bands of mutual kindness and affection. q ilr
from meditating hostility to the north, he lias ai
readv drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw
much of his choicest matter tlietice; ami Lai ■ y
indeed will he deem himself, should his pages, i/y
making each region know ihc other belt: 1 Toi'ni
bute in any essential degree to itisj < 1 ih, ; lowermi.
clouds that now threaten the peace ot boih, and
to brighten and strengthen the sacred tics of fi a
terual Jove.

IN commencing n new volume, the jirtli:l.er
would take oc< asion to obseive, that not otiiy

secured to his subscription list an unexampled in

The subjoined is a brief plan of the work:
Its Original Papers will be so varied as to
form a combination of the useful with the enter

departments of useful science, essays, tales,
and poetry which may deserve the name.
It is the publishers design to make the Visiter
agreeable to the old and the voting —to the sedate
