The public mind is feverish and irritated still

It was from a deep sense of this local want, that

To the patrons of the Southern Literary Messenpt,
I he startling cost at which this work has been
established, and is sustained, and the backwa d

our mutual compact, call indispensably for an ap

If punctual payments are ever necessary, they are
pre-eminently so in the case of such a publica

and destitute of the vital aid which newspapers
derive from advertisements.
