This town is beautifully situated on a high bluff
of the river Chattahoochee, in the county of Bar
bour, Alabama, about one mile below the mouth of
Hatchechubbee, and from twenty-five to thirty
miles below Columbus. It possesses local advan
tages inferior to no place upon the river. The
bluff on which it stands is a continuation of the
ridge, dividing the waters of the Hatchechubbee
and Cowagkee creeks, affording the most eligible
location for an excellent road into the interior of
Barbour, Russell and Macon, bv which the pro
duct of the rich and fertile cotton lands of those
counties can be easily conveyed to market. The
road from Columbus to Florence and Irwinton,
will pass throuah this town. Situated below the
Snake Shoals and Woolfolk’s bar, which are the
principal obstructions in the river, it can be ap
proached without difficulty by steam boats at al
most all seasons of the year. Indisputable titles
will be given to purchasers. For the proprietors,

OF TUE
Southern liiterary Messenger,
rriHIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly
i- to Literature, but occasionally findii’
room also for articles that fall within the scone
Science; and not professing an entire disdain of
tasteful si lections, though its matter has been
it will continue to be, in the main, original.
Party Politics, and controversial r lheology l 1s
far as possible, are jealously excluded. Thov a r#
sometimes so blended with discussions in ht eiu
ture or in moral science, otherwise unobjection
able, as to gain admittance for the sake of the
more valuable matter to \» Inch they adhere: | JUt
whenever that happens they are incidental, onlv
not primary. They are dross, tolerated only V/
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, m a condensed form, such valuable truths
or interesting incidents as arc embodied in tlm
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. J rj
this age of publications that by their variety- and
multitude, distract and ovcrwhelmn every undis
criminating student, IMPARTIAL CRITICISM, gov"
erned bythe views just mentioned, is one of the
most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries
to him rvho does wish to discriminate.
Essays and Tales, having in view utility oi a
musement, or both— Historical sketches— -and
Rf.minisencks of events too minute for History
yet elucidating it, and heightning its
maybe regarded as forming the 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, hut 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 hv
indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, into then
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 no Ei
ger brood, like a portent-mis cloud, over the tks
tinies of our country. \ntl 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 erne,
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 taint, or the actual literary
taste of the Southern people, compared with
those of the Northern J No: for in wealth, tal
ents and taste, rve may justly claim, at least, an
equality with our brethren md a domestic insti
tution exclusively onr 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 ol 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 heal inter
ests. Far from any such thought, it is the Edi
tor’s fervent wish, to see the Nonk 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
hute in any essentia! 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.

CARD.
To the patrons of the Southern Literary Messenger.
I he startling cost at which this work has been
established, and is sustained, and the backwaid
ness of many subscribers in fulfilling their part of
our mutual compact, eafl 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 case of such a publica
tion, —purely literary—almost wholly original —
and destitute of the vital aid 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
w ell 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 acquired claims
upon Southern justice—can it be, that thes are
urged in vain ?
Subscribers then, who are in arrears—and let
them remember, that payment is due in advance, •
will, I trust, without delay, transmit the mounts
they owe to me, at Richmond, by mail, at my
risk and cost ; taking proper evidence of the fact
and date of mailing; and retaining a memoran
dum of each note sent.
