This town is beautifully situated on a high blufl
of the river Chattahoochee, iti the county of Bar
bour, Alabama, about one mile below the mouth ot
Hatcherhubbee, 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
riuge, dividing the waters of the Hatchechubbee
and Cowagkee creeks, affording the most eligible

Barbour, Russell and Macon, by which the pro
duct of tha rich and fertile cotton lauds of those
counties can be easily conveyed to market. The
road from Columbus to Florence and Irwiutnn,
will pass through this town. Situated below the

J o the patrons of the Southern Literary Messenger.
I he startling cost at which this work has been
i stablishcd, and is sustained, and the backw-aid
ness of many subscribers in fulfilling their pan of
oui mutual t ompact, call indispensably for an ap
peal, not to their liberality— but to their justice.
11 punctual payments are ever necessary, they are
pre-eminently so iu 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 —ls 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 M prostrsitc bauin v and South’"
ern Literature. Since it lias now acquired claims
upon Southern justice—eau it he, that this are
urged in vain ?
