PROSPECT CS.
OF THE
Southern Lilerarv Messenger.
rauii S is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly
A to Literatukk, 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 has been, as
it will continue to be, in the main, original.
Party Politics, and controversial Theology, as
far as possible, are jealously excluded. They are
sometimes so blended with 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 tlieir
due space iu 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 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 upon that
large number, which merit only to be burned. In
this age of publications that by tlieir variety and
multitude, distract and overwhelmn every undis
criminating student, impartial criticism, gov
erned by the views just mentioned, is one of the
most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries
to him who docs icish 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 heightning its interest
may be regarded as forming tli* 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.
The public mind is feverish and irritated still,
from recent political strifes: The soft, assuasive
influence of Literature is needed, to allay that
fever, and soothe that irritation. Vice and folly
aie rioting abroad:—They should be driven by
indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, into their
fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an im
mense proportion of our people:—Every spring
should be set in motion, to arouse the enlighten
ed, and to increase th“ir number; «o that the
great enemy of popular government may no lon
ger brood, like a portentous cloud, over the des
tinies of our country. Ynd to accomplish all
these ends, what more powerful agent can be em
ployed, than a periodical on the plan of the Mes
senger; it 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 are probably at least twenty-five or
thirty! Is this contrast justified by the wealth,
the leisure, the n.-tive talent, or the actual literary
taste of the Southern people, compared with
those of the Northern? No: for in wealth, tal
ents and taste, we may justly claim, at least, an
equality with our brethren md a domestic insti
tution exclusively our ow n, beyond all doubt, af
fords us, it we choose, twice the leisure for read
ing and writing which they enjoy.
It was from a deep sense of this local want, that
the word 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 thought, it is the Edi
tor’s fervent wish, to see the North and South
bound endearingly together, forever, in ti e silken
bands ol mutual kindness and affection. Far
from meditating hostility to the north, he has al
ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw,
much of his choicest matter thence; and happy
indeed will he deem, himself, should his pages, by
making each regiqn know the other better contri
bute in ar.y essential degree to dispel the lowering
clouds that now threaten the peace oi" both, and
to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fra
tcrnal 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 for the Editor to say. lie believes, how
ever that it lulls not further short of them, than
human weakness usually makes Practice fall short
of Theory.
CONDITIONS
1* The Southern Literary Me.-senger is pub
lished in monthly numbers, of 04 large super
royal octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and
neatly covered, at $5 a year—payable in advance
2. Or five new subscribers, by sending theii
names and S2O at one time to the editor, wall re
cehc their copies for one year, for that sum, or
at $4 for each.
3. The risk of loss r,f payments for subscrip
tions, which have been properly committed to the
mail, or to the hands of a post master, is assum
ed by the editor.
4. If a subscription is not directed to be dis
continued before the first number of the next vol
ume has been published, it will betaken as a con
tinuance for another year. Subscriptions mu. :
commence with the beginning ol" the volume,
and will not be taken for less than a year’s pub
lication.
5. The mutual obligations of the publisher and
subscriber, for the year, are fully inclined as soon
as the first number of the volume is issued: and
alter that time, no discontinuance of v subscrip
tion will be permitted. Nor will a subscription
be discontinued for any earlier notice, while any
thing thereon remains due, unles t the option
of the Editor.
CARD.
To the patrons of the Southern Triteravy
The startling cost at which this work has been
established, and is sustained, and the Lackwa «|-
ness ot many subscribers in (ulfilling their pail ol
our mutual compact, call indispensably for an ap
peal, not to their liberality—but to their justii e.
It punctual payments are ever necessary, they are
pre-eminently 'so in the case of such « publica
tion, —purely literary—almost wholly original
and destitute of the vital aid which’newspapers
derive from advertisements.
My all is at stake, in this enterprise.— lr is n
venture, stimulated indeed by some hope of e
molumcnt; but founded largely,'also upon the
well warranted expectation of rallying Southern
talents and Southern public spirit, around the
drooping and well nigh prostrate banner of South
ern Literature. Since it has now acquired claims
upon Southern justice—can it be, that this n>-
urged in vain ?
Subscribers then, who are in arrears and le
them remember, that payment is due in advance
will, I trust, without delay, transmit the mounts
they owe to me, at Richmond, by mail, at aiv
risk and cost; taking proper evidence of the fact
and date of mailing; and retaining a memoran
dum of each note sent.

IN commencing anew volume, the publisher
would take occasion to observe, that not only

EDITORS.
MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS A WILLIAM W. SNOWDEN,
Assisted by many of the most popular Writers.
the publication of the May number, the
demand for the Ladies’ Companion has
been unprecedented and beyond the to sanguine
anticipations. At the commencement of the vol
ume an additional number of copies were printed
which was considered at the time adequate to sat
isfy all the orders which might be received, and
leave a considerable number on hand for subse
quent calls. The publisher is more than gratified
in stating that the whole edition was nearly ex
hausted before the issuing of the seventh number
of the volume; and at this 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 ol this great unforeseen increase
of new subscribers, lie has determined to double
the number of impressions for the subsequent
year; while he most giatefully appreciates the un
precedented encouragement extended to the L; -
dies* Companion, ami at the same time he begs to
assure the readers of the Magazine and the pub
lic in general, that it is Ins ardent resolution to
meet it with a corresponding liberality on his part
to merit its continuance.
Sr lend id Steel Engravings by our best ar
tists, accompany each number—illustrated by
Tales and spirited Sketches—which will, as here
tofore, continue magnificent and far superior to
those published in any other Magazine in Ameri
ca.
T he Ladies* C ompanion contains a larger quan
lily of reading than any other magazine issued in
this country, and its subscription price is only
three dolhrrs a year, while the great combination
of talent seemed for the coming year will render
it unequalled by any .other periodical.
Its Literary Character! will 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, has secured the aid of Mrs. ANN S. STE
PHENS, late Editor of tire ‘Portland Magazine,’
and author of a series o; the most beautiful aud
popular tales ever presented to an American
public. No ‘lady .possessing greater variety of tal
ent, or better calculated to aid iu conducting a
Ladies’ Magazine, could have been selected from
the galaxy of female genius which is the glory of
our country. In addition to tlm powerful talents
of Mrs. .Stephens, the proprietor has secured a
list ol contributors, which eom'i.mo.l will render
the Ladies’ Companion one .of the most interesting
and talented Magazines of the T v.

V. ith many others who will occasionally contri
bute to the pages ot the w ork, and every exertion
w ill be made to render the Ladit s’ Companion,
what a work devoted to the female portion of the
community should be, interesting, useful aud iu
: stnictive.
The Musical Department is under the su
pervision ot :,Jr. J. Watson, .whose qualifications
1 r the t. sk are too well known to require our tes
timony.
T his department of the Ladies’ Companion has
ever commanded a large share of attention, aud
been looked upon with no little interest'by its rea
ders, and more especially the Ladies, whom-the
publisher is in the highest degree anxious to
please. It will continue .-to be a subject of more
than usual care to him, and to the Professor,
under w hose supervision it is .placed, to make that
portion of the magazine allotted to Music, more
than ever deserving of the countenance of every
lover cl music. It has everhee.n tuid wifi contin
ue to be the desire to have all pieces of Music
dr. rrfty and free j' -.m errors.
The Y\ uuk in General. Over every depart
ment an equally careful supervision w ill be strict
ly exercised by the Editors, and all appropriate
expenditures will be liberally bestowed, as it is the
design ol the publisher, with the aid of his con
tributors and the advice of his friends to make the
Ladies' Companion distinguished for the beauty
and accuracy rj .iis typography; the variety and
high tone of its literary articles y dhe quality and
value of its music ; and the unequalled splendor
of its PicTor.AL Embellishments.
It is the determination |of the publisher to use
every means to maintain the superiority which
the Ladies’Companion has obtained. For four
years he lias steadily pursued a course of improve
ment, and he flatters himself that his present fa
cilities are such as to give the Indies’ Companion
eminent advantages over all other publications of
its character.
From the foregoing it will be perceived that the
Ladies’ Companion embraces every department
within the range of Belles-Lettres and the Fine
Arts; and 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 side of the
Atlantic, have strongly asserted -the undeniable
claims ol the Ladies’ Companion to the support
of the public generally. There is no work that
gives its readers such great return for their subscrip
iion.
The Prize Articles will all be published du
ring the year. These articles will comprise the
successful candidates for the premiums of one
thousand dollars aw arded by a committee ot liter
ary gentlemen in August last.
TERMS.—Three Dollars a year in advance, or
four during the year. No subscription received
for less than one year-.
Letters must be addressed to the proprietor, at
