PROSPECTUS. ~
OF TIIK
Southern Li'lcrarj Tlcssongcr.
FfJIIIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly
-i- to Litktiatuhe, 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.
Purl y 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 arc 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
w orks 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 overwhelmn every tmdis
criminating student, impartial criticism, gov
erned by the views just mentioned, is one of the
most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries
to liitn who does wish to discriminate.
Essays and Tales, having in view utility or a
musement, or both— Historical sketches— and
Reminiskncks of events too minute for History,
yet elucidating ir, and lieightning its interest
may be regarded ns forming tlm staple of the
work. And ot indigenous Poetry, enough is
published—sometimes of no mean strain—to man
ifest f.-.d 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 manv.
3hc 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
are rioting abroad:—They should be driven by
indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, into their
fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an lm
incose proportion ol our peopleilvery spring
should be set in motion, to arouse the enlighten
cd, 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. Yml to accomplish all
these ends, what more pow erful agent can be em
ployed, than a periodical on the plan of the Mes
senger ; it that plan be but carried out iu prac
tice 1
Ihe 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 native talent, or the actual literary
taste ot 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 »nd a domestic insti
tution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, af
fords us, if we choose, twice the leisure lor 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
toi 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 the north, he lias al
ready drawn, and lie 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 coiltri
butc in any essential degree to dispel the loweriim
clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and
to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fra
ternal love,
'lhe Southern Literary Messenger has
now reached the 11th No. of its third volume.-
How tar 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 Practice fall short
of Theory.
CONDITIONS
J’ D ie Southern Literary Messenger is pub
lished in monthly numbers, of 64 large super
royal octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and
neatly covered, at $5 a year-payable in advance
2. Ur five new subscribers, by sending their
names and S2O at one time to the editor, w ill re
ceive their copies for one year, for that sum, or
at 84 for each.
3. The risk of loss of payments for subscrip
tions, which have been properly committed to the
man, or to the hands ot 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
nine 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. 1
5. The 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
be discontinued for any earlier notice, w hile any
thing thereon remains due, miles t the option
ot the Editor.
CARD.
To the patrons rs the Southern Literary Messenger.
Jhe startling cost at which this uo'rk has been
established, and is sustained, and the backwa d
noss ol many subscribers in fulfilling their pan of
our mutual compact, cal! indispensably for an ap
peal, not to their liberality—but to their justice.
If punctual payments are ever necessary, they arc
pre-eminently so in the case of such a publica
tion,—purely literary—almost wholly oriforal
and destitute of 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 the
well warranted expectation of rallying Southern
talents and Southern public spirit, around the
drooping and well nigh prostrate banner of South*
t Litciature. Since it has now acquired claims
upon Southern justice— can it be, that the* arc
urged in vain ?
Subscribers then, who arc in arrears—and 1c
them remember that payment is due in advance,
w ill, 1 trust, w ithout delay, transmit the mounts
they owe to me, at Richmond, by mail, at my
risk and cost; taking proper evidence of tbe fact
and date of mailing; and retaining a memoran
dum ol each note sent.

Forte, Guitar and Bard.
EDITORS.
MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS 6C WILLIAM W. SNOWDEN,
Assisted by many of the most popular Writers.
SINCE the publication of the May number, the
demand for the Ladies’ Companion has
been unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine
anticipations. At the commencement of the vol
ume an additional number of copies were printed
w hich was considered at the time adequate to sat
isfy all the orders which might be received, and
leave a considerable number on hand for stihse
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 nun er
ous orders which are daily received from every
section of the United States. 3
Inconsequence ot this great unforeseen increase
of new subscribers, he lias determined to double
the number ol' impressions for the subsequent
year; while he most gratefully appreciates the un
precedented encouragement extended to the La
dies’Companion, and at the same time he begs to
assure the readers of the Magazine and the pub
lic in general. that it is liis ardent resolution to
meet it with a corresponding liberality on liis part
to merit its continuance.
Splendid Steel Engravings by oui best ar
tists, accompany each number—illustrated by
Tales and spirited Sketches—which w ill, as here
tofore, continue magnificent and far superior to
those published in any other Magazine iu Ameri
ca.
The Ladies’ Companion contains a larger quan
tity oj reading than any other magazine issued in
this country, and its subscription price is only
three dollnrs a year, while the great combination
of talent secured for the coining year will reuder
it unequalled by any other periodical.
Its Literary Character ! will undergo con
siderable change, as the publisher of the Ladies’
' ompanion, in order to show liis appreciation of
the public favor already extended to him so liber
ally, has secured the aid of Mrs. ANN S. STE
I’IIENS, late Editor of the ‘Portland Magazine,’
and author of a series of the most beautiful and
popitlar 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 which is the glory of
o.ur country. Iu addition to the powerful talents
of Mrs. Stephens, the proprietor has secured a
list of contributors, which combined will render
the Ladies’ Companion one of the most interestin'*
and talented Magazines of the day.

w hat a work devoted t» the female portion of tbe
community should be, interesting, useful and in
structive.
Ihe Musical Department is under the su
penision of Mr. J. Watson, whose qualifications
loi the tusk aie too well kuowij to reouire tes
timony.
his department of the Liad-ios’ Companion has
ever commanded a large share of attention, and
been looked upon with no little interest b.v its rea
d( is, and more especially the Ladies, whom the
publishei is in the highest degree anxious to
please. It will continue to he a subjc’ct of more
than usual care to him, and to the Professor ,
uindei w liose supervision it is placed, to make that
poition ol the magazine allotted to .1 lusic, more
than ever deserving of the countenance of every
lovci of music. It has ever been and will contin
ue to be the desire to have all pieces of Music
printed correctly and free from errors.
ihe \\ ork in General. Over every depart
ment an equally careful supervision w ill be strict
ly exeiciscd by the Lditors, and all appropriate
expenditures will be liberally bestowed, as it is the
design ol the publisher, with the aid of his con
tributotrs and the advice of his friends to make the
Ladies' Companion distinguished for the beauty
und accuracy of its typography; the I'ariety and
high tone oj its literary articles; the quality and
value of its music ; and' the unequalled splendor
of its Pictoral Embellishments.
It is the determination t of the publisher to use
every means to maintain the superiority which
the Ladies’Companion lias obtained. For four
yeais he lias steadily pursued a course of improve
ment, and lie flatters himself that his present fa
cilities are such as to give tbe Ladies’ Companion
eminent advantages over all other publications of
its character.
I lorn the foregoing it will be perceived that the
Ladies Cosifanion embraces every department
within the. range of Belles-Lettres and the Fine
