R. W. WILLIAMS, lntend’t. Tho. Gardner, Sec . June 18 13 Hlasik Roles, NEATLY PRINTED and FOR SALE AT THIS OFFICE ER O SEECT US. OF THE Southern Literary messenger IHIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chi« tn -H- to Literature, but occasionally • room also for articles that fall within the stoi Science; and not professing an entire disdain°t tasteful selections, though its matter has been ° it will continue to be, in the main, original. ’ Parly Politics, and controversial Theology far as possible, are jealously excluded. They sometimes so blended with discussions in hter ture or in moral science, otherwise unobjecti able, as to gain admittance for the sake of th" more valuable matter to which they adhere • i whenever that happens they are incidental, • v! not primary. They are dross, tolerated o' ,’ cause it cannot vveil he severed from the. \ ’* ore wherewith it is incorporated. * Reviews and Critical Notices, occupy tl )e ; r due space in the work: and it is the Editors aim that they should have a threefold tendencvAj', convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths or interesting incidents as are embodied in the works renewed,—lo direct the readers attention to books that deserve to be read—and to warn him against wasting time and money upon tin,t large number, which merit only to be burned, j this age of publications that by their variety and multitude, distract an i oveiwlielmu every uni; s . criminating student, impartial criticism, gov erned bythe views just mentioned, is one of the most iiitsti.-nable ami i. dispensable of auxiliaries to him who an sin t*> and; xiiminate. Essays and Tai.e:;, having in view utility ora nmscmcßt, or both—Historical sketches—and Kesiinisem es of overt .co minute for History yet elucidating it, a id luightning its interest may be regarded as forming tin- staple of the work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is published—sometimes ol no mean strain—to*lll3ll -and to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talents of our country. The times appear, for several reasons, to de maud 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 are rioting abroad :—They should be driven bv indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, into their fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an im mense proportion of our people:—Every sprit,» should be set in motion, to arouse the enlighten ed, and to increase their number; so that the great enemy of popular government may no lon ger blood, i.ke a portent ous 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 on the plan of 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 or thirty ! Is this contrast justified by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or (lie 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 ,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 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 fiom any such thought, it is the Edi tor’s fervent wish, to see t),e North and South bound endearingly together, forever, in the silken bands of mutual kindness and affection. Ear from meditating hostility to the north, he basal ready drawn, and he hoj is hereafter to draw, muon ol Ills i icest matter thence; and happy indeed will lie deem himself, should his pages, by making ra< h region know the other better contn bute in any essentia) ri< gree to dispel the loweiing clouds that now Ihi eaten the peace of both, and to bnghten and strcngtlieu the sacred ties of fra ternal love. CONDITIONS 1. r i tio Southern Literary Messenger is pub lished in monthly' numbers, of 64 large super royal octavo pages each, on the best of paper, ami neatly covered, at g's a year—j ayable in advance 2. Ur five new sul ril rs, by sending theii names and S2O at one time to the editor, will re ceive their copies for one year, lor that sum, or at s*4 for each. 3. The risk of loss of payments for subscrip Rons, which have been properly committed to the ln:! il, or to the hands ol 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. The mutual obligations of the publisher and subscriber, for the year, are fully incurred as soon as tlie 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, while any thing thereon remains due, unles t the option of the Editor. CARD. r U° the patrons of the Southern Literary Messenger. Ibe startling cost at which this work has been established, and is sustained, and the backwa ti neas ol many subscribers in fulfilling their pari ol our mutual compact, call indispensably for an ap peal, not to their liberality—but to their justice. It punctual payments are ever necessary, they arc pre-eminently so in the case 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; bat bonded 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'' eru Literature. .Since it has now acquired claims upon Southern justice—can it be, that thes at* urged in vain Subscribers then, who are in arrears—and l* l them remember, that payment «sdue in advance, will, I trust, without delay, transmit the mounts they owe to me, at Richmond, by mail, at m.v risk and eost • faking proper evidence of the fact and date of mailing; and retaining a memoran rium of each note sent.
