JAMES HILLIARD, Adm'r. April 16, 1838. 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. THOMAS W. WHITE. Richmond, Nov. 24,1837. PROSPECTIjs to the third volume of the vasstrcsEsa.-. Containing quarterly Fashion Plates, Illustrated Articles, c\r. thf. cheapest periodical in the world. IN commencing anew volume, the publisher would take occasion to observe, that not only will the same exertions be continued, which have secured to his subscription list an unexampled in crease, but his claims upon the public favor will be enhanced by every means which unceasing en deavor, enlarged facilities, and liberal expendi ture can command. , 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 taining and agreeable. These will embrace the 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 young—to the sedate and the gay—to mingle the valuable with the a musing—and to pursue the tenor of his way with the entertainment of good feelings toward all par ties. 1 TERMS.—The 5 isitcr is published every oth er Saturday, on fine white paper, each number will contain 24 large super-royal octavo, pages, enveloped in a fine printed cover, forming at the end ot the year a volume of neajly 600 pages, at the very low price of $1 25 cents per annum in advance, or 6$ cents per number payable on de livery. 1 ost Masters, and others who will procure our subscribers and enclose Five Dollars to the pro prietor shall receive the sth copy gratis.

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. Mrs- L. H. higctuncy, Mrs. Jane E. Locke, Mrs. Woodliull, Mrs. Jammu C. Embury, Miss A. D. 'Woodbridge, Mi.s H. JL-. Beasley, Miss Charlotte Cushman, Miss Mary E-mily Jackson, Messrs. Robert Hamilton, J. N. McJilton, Jatiu-s Brooks, Eras!us Brooks, Rev. J. JL Clinch, Rev. A. A. Lipscomb, Greenville Mellon, N. ( . Brooks, a. m. S. E.

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-.
