JAMES HILLIARD, Adm'r. April IG, 1838. fl[(Jsi*E cTTs. OF THE IJR i’ni'y TBMiIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly' X 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 has been, as it will continue to be, in the main, original. Tarty Tolilics, and controversial Theology, as far as possible, are jealously excluded. Tlie.y 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 llieir due space in the work: and it is the Editor’s aim that they shoub 1 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 their variety and multitude, distract and overwhelm!! 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 does wish to discriminate. Essays and Tales, having in view utility or a musement, or both—Historical sketches—and Rf.minisences of events too minute for History, yet elucidating it, and heiglitning 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 an 1 to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talents of our country. '1 he times appear, for several reasous, 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. A'ice 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 enlighten ed, and to increase their number; so that the great enemy of popular government may n« lon ger brood, like a portentous cloud, over the des tinies of our country. Vnd to accomplish all these ends, wliat 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 ? f I he South peculiarly requires such an agent. 111 all the ( nion, south of AVasliiugton, there are but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that city, there are probably at least tw ity-five or thirty ! I this contrast justified by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary taste ol the Southern jwiople, compared with those of the Northern? No: for iu wealth, tal ents and taste, we may justly claim, 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 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’* fervent wish, to see tue North and South bound endearingly together, forever, in the silken bands of 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 region know the other better contri bnte in tiny caoentiiil degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fra ternal love. The Southern Literary Messenger ha? 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 weakness usually makes Tractive fall short of Theory. CONDITIONS 1. The Southern Literary Messenger is pub lished in monthly numbers, of G-l 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, will re ceive their copies lor one year, lor that sum, or at :>4 for each. 3. 'i he 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 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 must commence with the beginning of the volume, and will not.be taken for less than a year’s pub lication. 5. I lie mutual obligations of the publisher and subscriber, for the year, are fully incurred as soon as the first number of the volume is issued: and alter that time, no discontinuance of a subscrip tion will be permitted. Nor will a subscription he discontinued for any earlier notice, while any thing thereon remains due, miles t the option of the Editor. CARD. To the patrons of the Southern Literary Messenger. The startling cost at which this work has lu cn established, and is sustained, and the thackwa ,j --ness of many subscribers in fulfilling their pan es our mutual compact, call indispensably for an ap peal, not to their liberality—but to their justice. If punctual payments are ever necessary, they are pre-eminently so in the rase of such a 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. it is a venture, stimulated indeed bv some hope of e molument; 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 arqirie ' claims upon Southern justice— can it be, t! at dies art urged in vain? Subscribers then, who are in : mars— md le. them remember, that payment «s < ue m advance will, 1 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 AV. AVIIITE. Richmond, Nov. 24, 1837. 1 5 SJOSPECTIX TO the third volume >of the Containing Quarterly Fashion Flutes, Illustrated Articles, l\c. the cheapest periodical in the world. IN commencing anew volume, the publisher would take occasion to observe, flint not onlv will tlie same exertions be continued, which have secured to his subscription list an unexampled in orease, but Ids 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 -> 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 A'isiter agreeable to the old and the young—to the sedate and the gay—to mingle the valuable with the a ntusing—and to pursue the tenor of his way with the entertainment of good feelings toward all pat ties. TERMS.—The A’isiter is published every nth or Saturday, on fine white paper, each number will contain 24 large super-royal octavo pages, enveloped in a fine printed cover, forming tit "the end of the year a volume of nearly GOO pages, at the very low price of $1 25 cents per annum in advance, or Gj cents per number payable on de livery.

EDITORS. MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS & WILLIAM W. SNOWDEN Assisted by many of the most popular Writers. ’ the publication of the May number tl, demand for the Ladies’ Companion’ h * been unprecedented and beyond the most saneub!* anticipations. At the commencement of the v i ume an additional number of copies were printed' which was considered at the time adequate to t lsly all the orders which might be received ami leave a considerable number on hand for siibse quent calls. 1 lie publisher is more than gratified in stating that the whole edition was nearly ex hausted betore the issuing of the seventh nuinbel ol the volume; and at this time but very few plete sets remain on hand, to supply the nun ous orders which are daily received from everJ section ot the United States. 3 111 consequence ol this great unforeseen increase of new subscribers, lie has determined to double : tl,e md ressions for the subseoutnt year; while he most gratefully appreciates tlieua I precedented encouragement extended to the La dies* Companion, and at the same time he be-s *o assure the readers ol the Magazine and the nub liem general, that it is his ardent resolutions meet it with a corresponding line.urn. „„ ljls , u to merit its continuance. 1 u,t Splendid Steel Engravings by our best ar tists, accompany each number— illustrated b v Tales and spirited Sketches—which will, as here tofore, continue magnificent and far >upcrior to those published in any other Magazine in Ameri ca. The Ladies’ Companion contains a larger qum tity of raiding than any other magazine issued in this country, and its subscription price is only three.dollars a year, while the great combination ot talent secured for the coining year will render it unequalled by any other periodical. Its Literary ( hakacter ! will undergo con siderable change, as the publisher of the Ladies’ Companion, in order to show Jiis 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 the ‘Portland Magazine,’ and author of a series of .the most beautiful anil popular tides ever presented to an American public. No lady possessing greater variety,of tal ent, or better calculated to aid j,n conducting a .Ladies’ Magazine, could have been selected from the gaiaxy ot female genius which is the glory of our country. In addition to the powerful talents of Mrs. Stephens, the proprietor has secured a list of contributors, w hich combined will render the Ladies’ Companion our of the most interesting and talented Magazines of the day.

Av ith many others who will occasionally contri bute to the pagesol the "ark, and cvcrv exertion will be made to render the Ladies’ Companion, what a work devoted t« the female portion of the community should be, interesting, useful and in structive. ■i he Musical Department is under the su peivisionol Mr. J. Watson, whose qualifications lor the task are too well known to require urtes timony. i his department eftlie Ladies’ "Companion lias ever commanded a large share til attention, and been looked upon w-itli 1.0 little interest by its rea ders, and more especially the Ladies, whom the publisher is in tl 1 e highest degree anxious to please, it will continue to Lc a .subject of more than usual rare to him, and to the Trofessor, under whose 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 lias ever been and v,p| contin ue to he the desire to have nil pieces of Music printed correctly and fret from errors. Ihe A\ or.K 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, with the aid >of Iris con tributors and the adviceof his friends to make the Lad its' Companion distinguished for the bcavty and accuracy of its typography; the variety and b/gli tone iif its literary articles; the quality and value of its music : and the unequalled splendor of its Pictorax Embellishments. It is the determination ,of the publisher to use every means to maintain the superiority which the Ladies’ Companion lias obtained. For four years he has steadily pursued a course of improve ment, and lie flatters himself that his present fa cilities are such as to give the Ladies’ Companion eminent advantages overall other publications ol its character. t rom the foregoing it will be perceived that the Ladies’ Companion embraces everv department within the range of Belles-lettres and the Fine Arts; and no exertions or expense w ill be deem ed too great to render the work equal to any other extant. Ihe flattering and general testimonials of neatly every eotemporary journal in the Unitod States, and in fact, many on the otht r side of the Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undeniable claims of the Ladies’ Companion to the support ol tin- public generally. There is no work that •gens its readers such great return for their subscrif ticn. Tiie Prize Articles w ill all be published dm ring the year.
