VI TE have been induced to publish the M IE TF K< )R, 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. We do not deem it necessary to go into a lengthy detail of the doctrines this paper will sup port, or the principles it will inculcate, and the grounds upon which they arc predicated—but will merely state that it is intended to diffuse gen eral information throughout the country, of it Do mestic, 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. We deem it necessary, how ever, tq state that the political stand which the M'lToi w ill assume \vi9 be a firm and indcpepAcnt one; and in support of ttiuins and Anti-Van Burkn party ol -.eorgia; but conducted with moderation and prudence, without 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 be willing, at all times to admit that right in others—and when ever occasion requires us to speak of the doctrines or opinions of our political opponents, we shall do so with respectful consideration. TERMS—'fhe Georgia Mirror w ill be pub lished at THREE DOLLARS a year, payable in advance, or FOUR DOLLARS at tlie end of tlie GARDNER A' BARROW. April 1 PROSPECTUS. OF THE SoiiDiern liitevary Messenger. rVAHIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly A to Literature, but occasionally finding room also for articles that fall w ithin the scope of 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 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: hut 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 in the works review ed, —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 overwhelm!) every undis eriminating student, impartial criticism, gov erned by the views just mentioned, is one of the most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him who does 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 the 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. Tlie times appear, for several reasons, tp de mand such a work—and not one alone, but manv. The public inind is feverish and irritated still, from repent political strifes ; The soft, assuasive influence of Literature is needed, to allay 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 fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an im mense proportion of our people:—Every spring should be set in motion, to arouse the eulighten ed, and to increase their number; so that the great enemy of popular government may no lon ger brood, like a portentMius cloud, over the des tinies of our country. \nd to accomplish all these ends, what more powerful agent can be em ployed, than a periodical oil the plan ol 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 are probably at least twenty-five 01 thirty! Is this contrast justified by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary taste ol the Southern j“tople, compared with those of the Northern? No: for in wealth, tal ents and taste, we may justly claim, at least, an equality w ith our brethren «nd 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 sense of this local w ant, that the word Southern was engrafted on this peri-, odical: aud 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 tne North and South bound endearingly together, forever, in the silken bands of mutual kindness and affection. Far from meditating hostility to tlie north, he has al ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest matter thence; and happy indeed w ill he deem himself, should his pages, by making each region know the other better contri bate in any essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of Ira ternal love. The Southern Literary Messenger has now reached the lltli No. of its third volume.- How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered, ;is not for the Editor to say. He believes, how ever that it falls not further short of them, than human w eakness usually makes Practice fall short of Theory. CONDITIONS 1. The Southern Literary Messenger is pub lished in monthly numbers, of ti 4 large super royal octavo pages each, on tlie best of paper, and neatly covered, at 65 a year—payable in advance * 2. Or live new subscribers, by sending then names and S2O at one time to the editor, will re ceive their copies for one year, for that sum, 01 at 84 for each. 3. The risk of loss of payments for subscrip tions, which have been properly committed to the mail, or to the hands of a post master, is assum ed by tlie editor. 4. If a subscription is not directed to be dis continued before the first number of the next vol tune has been published, it will betaken as a con tinuance for another year. .Subscriptions must commence with the beginning of 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 incurred as soon as the first number of tin-volume is issued: and after that time, no discontinuance of a subscrip tion will be permitted. Nor will a subscription be discontinued for any earlier notice, while any thing thereon remains due, unles t the O mi ou of the Editor. 7 . , „ gaud. ' [ ,f ‘ patrons of the t-ovlhern f.iterary Messenger. ihe startling cost at which this work has been cstablishc:’, Ymd is sustained, and the buckwu d ncss of many subscribers in fulfilling their pan of Our mutual compact, call indispensably for an <ip pcal, not to their liberality—but to their justiie. It punctual payments arc ever necessary, they are pre-eminently so in the ease of such a publica tion, —purely literary—almost wholly original— and destitute ot the vital aid which newspapers derive from advertisements. My all is at stake, in this enterprise.—lt is a venture, stimulated indeed by some hope of e molument; but founded largely, also upon tlie well warranted expectation of rallying Southern talents and Southern public spirit, around tlie drooping and well nigh prostrate banner of South ern Literature. Since it has now acquired claims upon Southern justice —can if be, that t/ics are 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 mv 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. PROMPFCTIS TO the third volume oe the Containing Quarterly Fashion Plates, Illustrated Articles, tyr. the cheapest periodical in the world. IN commencing anew volume, the publisher would take occasion to observe, that not onlv 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 w hich unceasing en deavor, enlarged facilities, and liberal expendi ture can command. The subjoined is a brief plan of the work : Its Original Papers w ill 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 roETRY which may deserve the name. It is the publishers design to make the Visiter agreeable to the old and tlie young—to the sedate and the gay—to mingle the valuable with the a musing—and to pursue the tenor of his wav with tlie entertainment of good feelings toward ail par ties. TERMS.—The Visiter is published every nth 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 of the year a volume of nearly tiOO pages, at the very low price of $1 25 cents per annum in advance, or 6$ cents per number payable on de livery. Post Masters, and others who will procure our subscribers and enclose Five Dollars to the pro prietor shall receive the sth copy gratis. All orders addressed to the publisher, 49 Ches nut Street, post paid, will receive immediate at tention. Editors, by copying this prospectus and 3°nd* ing a paper of the same to the office, shall re ceive the Visiter for one vear [established IN' 1334.] A Jiopular and highly esteemed Magazine, of gen eral Literature and the Pine Arts, embellished with gorgeous and costly Engravings, on tii Copper and Wood; and also with Fashion able and popular Music, arranged for the Piano- Forte, Guitar aud Bard. EDITORS. MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS cY WILLIAM W. SNOWDEN. Assisted by many of the most popular 1 Enters. SINCE the publication of the May number, the demand for the Ladies’ Companion has been unprecedented and bey ond the most saneuine Ai the commencement of the vol ume an additional number 01 copies were printed which was considered at the time adequate to sat isly all the orders which might be received, ami leave a considerable number on hand for subse quent calls. Tlie pubhsheris more than gratified in stating that the w hole edition was nearly ex hausted before the issuing of the seventh number ot the volume; and at this time but very few com plete st-ts remain on hand, to supply the numer ous orders which are daily received Horn every section of the United .States. Inconsequence oi this great unforeseen increase of new subscribers, Le lias determined to double the number of impressions lor the subsequent year; while he must gratefully appreciates the un precedented encouragement extended to the Lu llies' Companion, and at the same time he begs to assure the readers of the Magazine and the pub lic in general, that it is his ardent resolution to meet it with a corresponding liberality on liis part to merit its continuance. Splendid Steel Engravings by our best ar tists, accompany each number—illustrated by Tales at.d spirited Sketches—w hich will, as here tofore, continue magnificent and far superior to those published in any other Magazine in Ameri ca. The Ladies’ Companion contains a larger yuan lily <f reading than any other magazine issued in this country, and its subscription price is only three dollars a year, while tlie great combination ol talent secured tor tlie coining year w ill 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 lavor already extended to him so liber ally, has secured 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 variety of tal ent, or better calculated to aid in conducting a Ladies’ Magazine, could have been selected from the galaxy of female genius w hich is the glory of our country. In addition to the pow erful talents ot Mrs. .Stephens, the proprietor litis secured a list of contributors, whu h combined will render the Ladies’ Companion one ol the most interesting and talented Magazines ol the day.

'I UK Musical Department is under tlie su pervision of Mr. J. Watson, whose qualifications forthe task are too well known to require >irtes timony. r ] liis department of tlie Ladies’ Companion has ever commanded a large share of attention, ami been looked upon with no little interest by its rea ders, and more especially tlie L adies, 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, aud 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 of music. It has ever been and will contin ue to - be tlie desire to have all pieces of Musk printed correctly and free from errors. The Work in General. Over every depart ment an equally careful supervision will be strict ly exercised by the Editors, and all appropriate expenditures will be liberally bestowed, as it is the design of the publisher, w ith the aid of liis con tributors and the adviecof his friends to make the Ladies' Companion 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 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 has steadily pursued a course of improve ment, and he flatters himself that his present fa cilities are such as to give the Ladies’ Companion eminent advantages over all other publications of its character. Front the foregoing it w ill 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 of the Ladies’ Companion to the support of the public generally. There is no work that circs its readers such areal return for their subscrip tion. 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 of 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.
