June 23 13 3t PROSPECTUS. •OF THE >*osl]hern Horary Jlessesijffer. r l HI IS is a monthly Magazine, devoted 'chiefly A to Literature, but occasionally finding room also for articles that fall within the scope of Science : and not professing an entire disdain of tasteful si lections, though its matter has been, as it will continue to be, in the main, original. Party Politics, and controversial Theology, as far as possible, arc 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 arc 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 iu the work: and it is the Editor’s aim that they should have a threefold tendency—to convey, hi 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 overwhelmn every undis criniinating student, impartial criticism, gov erned by the views just mentioned, is one of the most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him who does visit to discriminate. Essays and Fai.es, having in view utility or a musement, or both—Historical sketches—and Rkminisences of events too minute for History, yet elucidating it, and heightning 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 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 stiil] 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 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 na lon ger brood, like a portentous cloud, over the des tinies ot our country. \nd to accomplish all these ends, what 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 ? r 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 native 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 own, beyond all doubt, af fords us, it we choose, twice the leisure tor 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 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 lmte 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 fra ternal love. The Southern Literary Messenger has now .eatbed the 11th No. of its third volume.- How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered, is not for the Editor to say. tie believes, how’ ever that it falls not further short of them, than human weakness usually makes Practice fail short of Theory. CONDITIONS L The 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 ~. Or five new subscribers, by sending tlieii names and S2O at one time to the editor, will re ceive their copies for one year, for that sum, or at ?4 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 the editor. 4. If a subscription is not directed to be dis continued before the first number of the next vol uiiie has been published, it will be taken 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 o. 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 after that time, no discontinuance of a subscrip tion will be permitted. Nor will a subscription lie discontinued for any earlier notice, while any thing thereon remains due, unles t the option ot the Editor. CARD. To the patrons of the Southern Literary Messenger. Ihe startling cost at which this work has been established, and is sustained, and the backwa d ness ot many subscribers in fulfilling their pan of our mutual compact, call indispensably for an ap peal, not to their liberality—but to their justice. Il punctual payments are ever necessary, they are pre-eminently so in the case 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.—lt is a venture, stimulated indeed by some hope of e molument; but founded largely, also upon the well warranted expeetation 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 thes are urged in vain ? Subscribers then, who are in arrears—and Ic them remember that payment is due in advance, will, I trust, without delay, transmit the mounts they owe to me, at Richmond, hv mail, at my risk and cost; taking proper evidence of the fact and date of mailing; and retaining a memoran dum ot each note sent. t,. . , XT THOMAS W.

[ESTABLISHED IN 1834?] A popular and highly esteemed Magazine , of g tn eral Literature and the Fine Arts, embellished with gorgeous and costly Engravings, on Steel Copper and ll ood; and also with Fashionable and popular Music, arranged for the Piano. Forte, Guitar and Bard. EDITORS. MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS & 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 which was considered at the time adequate to sat’ isty all the orders which might be received and leave a considerable number on hand for subse quent calls. r l he publisher is more than gratified m stating that the whole edition was nearly ex hausted belore 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 everv section ot the United States. J Inconsequence of this great unforeseen increase of new subscribers, be has determined to double the number of impressions lor the subsequent year; while he most gratefully appreciates the un precedented encouragement extended to the La dies’Companion, and at the same time he beVto assure the readers of the Magazine and the pub lic m general, that it is his ardent resolution to meet it with a corresponding liberality on his part to merit its continuance. 1 Splendid Steel Engravings by our best ar tists, accompany each number—illustrated by 1 ales and spirited Sketches— which will, a « hert-- tolore, continue magnificent and far superior to those published in any other Magazine in Ameri ca. The Ladies’ Companion contains a larger quan tity o) reading than any other magazine issued in this country, and its subscription price is only three dollms a year, while the great combination ot talent secured for the coming year will render it unequalled by any other periodical. Its Literary Character J 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 8. 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 which is the glory of our country. In addition to the powerful talents ol Mrs. Stephens, the proprietor has secured a list of contributors, which combined will render the Ladies’ Companion one of the most interesting and talented Magazines of the day. Mrs. L. 11. Sigourney, Mrs. Jane E. Locke Mrs. W oodhull, Mrs. Emma C. Embury, Miss A. D. Wood bridge, Miss H. L. Beasley, Miss Charlotte Cushman* IVliss Mary Emily Jackson Messrs.

A\ itli many others who will occasionally contri bute to the pages of the work, and every 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. The Musical Department is under the su pervirion ot Mr. .1. W atson, whose qualifications toi the task are too well known to require ur its timony. I his department of the Ladies’ Companion has ever commanded a large share of attention, and been looked upon with no little interest by its rea ders, and more especially the Ladies, whom the publisher is iu 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 whose supervision it is placed, to make that poition of the magazine allotted to Music, more than ever deserving of the countenance of every lover ol music. It has ever been and will contin ue to be the desire to have all pieces of Music printed comectly and free from arms. Fhe W op.k in General. Over every depart ment an equally careful supervision will be strict ly exeicised by the Editors, and all appropriate expenditures will be liberally bestowed, as it is the design of the publisher, with the aid of his con tributors and the arlvieeof his friends to make the Ladies' Companion distinguished for the beauty cm/ accuracy c>f 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 eveiy 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 Ladies’ Companion eminent advantages over all other publications of its character. t Fr ° m , tbe forf T oin ? i‘ will be perceived that the Ladies, Companion embraces every department " itlnn the range ot 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. Ihe flattering and general testimonials of nearly every cotemporary journal in the United •States, and iu fact, many on the other side of the Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undeniable claims o! the Ladies’ Companion to the support ol the public generally. T here is no work that fines its tendecs such {itcat return for their subscrip tion. The Prize Articles will all bepublished du ring the year. These articles will comprise the successful candidates for the premiums of one thousand dollars awarded by a committee of liter ary gentlemen in August last. 1 EKMB.
