PROSPECTUS OF THE SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER. f IdHIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted ■- chiefly to Literature, but occasion ally finding room also for articles tha fall within the scope ot Science ; and not pro es.siug an entire disdain of tasteful selections. though its matter has been, as it will con tinue to be, in the main, original. Party Polities , and controversial Theol ogy, as far as possible, are jealously exclu ded. They are sometimes so blended with discussions in literature or in moral sci ence, otherwise unobjectionable, as to gain admittance tor the sake of the more valu able matter to which they adhere: brn whenever that happens they are incidental, only, not primary. They are dross, tolera ted only because it cannot well be severed from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor porated. Reviews and Critical Notices, occu py their due space in the work: and it is the Editor’s aim that they should have a three fold tendency—to convey, in a condensed form,such valuable truths or interesting in cidents as are embodied in the works re viewed, —to direct the readers attention to books that deserve to be read—and to ware 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 o verwhehnn *fevery undiscriminating student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, is one of the most inesti mable and indispensable ofauxiliaries to him who doss wish to discriminate. Essays and Tales, h iving in view utility or amusement, or both; Historical sket ches—and Reminisences of events too min ute for History, yet elucidating it, and lieightning its interest—may be regarded as forming the staple of the work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is publish ed—sometimes of no mean strain—to man -and to cultivate the growing poetical ticste anil talents of our country. The times appear, for several reasons, to demand such a work—and not one alone, but manyt The public mind is feverish and irritated still, from recent political strifes: The soft, asstiasive influence of Lit erature 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, in to their fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an immense proportion of our poo pie:—Every spring should be set in motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to increase - (heir number; so that the great enemy oi popular government may no longer brood, like a portenf'ous cloud, over the destinies of our country. Vnd to accomplish all these ends, what more powerful agent can be employed, than a periodical on the plan of the Messenger; if that plan be but car ried out in practice ? The South peculiarly requires such an agent. In all the Union, south of Washing ton, there are but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that city, there are probably at least twenty-five or thirty ! Is this con trast 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, talents anil taste, we may justly claim, at least, an equality with our brethren md a domestic institution exclusively our owu, beyond all doubt, affords us, it we choose, twice the leisure for reading and writing which they enjoy. It was from a deep sense of this local want that the word Southern was engrafted on this periodical: and not with any design to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate sup posed local interests. Far from any such thought, it is the Editor’s fervent wish, to sec tne North and South bound endearing ly to wether, forever, in the silken hands of mutual kindness and election. 1* at 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 contribute in any es sential degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now "threaten the peace of both, and id brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fraternal love. The Southern Literary Messenger has now been inexistence fouryears—the pre sent No commencing the fifth volume. How far it has acted out ilie ideas here ia teted, is not for the Editor to say ; he be lieves, however, that it tails not further slim t of them, than human weakness usually makes Practice fall short of Ihcory.

HAVING heard many complaints of ,o . want of a Newspaper in this town, (te be conducted in a gentlemanly-like innnn r.) the undersigned have been induced, by ilie earnest solicitations of many friends, to em bark in tlie undertaking. In assuming the duties consequent upon such an enterprise, we feel deeply conscious of the responsibility which will devolve up on us; and knowing, too, the d.vcrsitvof the human mind, we cannot flatter urselves that we will be able to please all. But, so far as our humble abilities exten I, we will at all times be found striving to . levate the standard of truth and correct moral principles. It will be our object to ad vanej the prosperity of the Eastern section of our .State, abounding, as it does, in so many natural advantages, and. as a necessa ry consequence especially to pron ote the mtores! of our own tow n. Our aim will be lo render our paper useful and valuable to all classes of the community—in short Lit erature, Useful Information, Agriculture, Foreign and Domestic Intelligence, will each receive a due portion of our attention. In icgard lo Politics, we deem it neces sary to say, .hat we shall give the general Political intelligence of the whole country, while, at thesmne time, as conductors of a Free Press, we will fearlessly, and without favor or affection, advocate anil support all such measures as will, in our opinion, pro mote our general prosperity as a people, and the perpetuity of our rights arid liberties.

With regard to the ques tion which is now agitating the country rela- live to the Currency, we now, unhesitating ly deHart’ our hostility to the ihrice-reje-*- e'd Sub Treasury System, tending as it do«* in our opinion, to an increase of Executive power, which has already been claimed aa, exercised to an alarming extent, in more lo stances than one. if not by the present in cumbent, by his immediate predecessor, it whose “footsteps” be is endeavoring to tread. We expect to encounter many perils, ma ny adverse wmds ; yet aided by the strong breath of public favor and support, the trads winds of ourworld must waft ns clear of our troubles—we dare raise our anchor, unfurl oui sheets, and venture boldly upon our new and untried course.

Oct. 22 29 ijf _____ From the Knickerbocker for August, CLEARING A COACH.' It ii not many months, since, that 1 had been travelling day and night, over roads of iron, for nearly a week, until my sense ol hearing was almost destroyed,' Ity the con tinued fiz fez. fiz fiz, ot the steam engine, the incessant ding ding, ding ding, of the alarm hell, and tlie prolonged rumble, rumble, of the rail car's wheels. My eyes, too, were well nigh destroyed by sparks of fire, and flying ashes: but above all, from the want of rest anil sleep. It will be readily imag ined therefore, that it was with no ordina ry degree of pleasure, that I exchanged a scat " fib an upright wooden back in a rail road car, for tlie almost by gone luxury of a coach which was to take me to my place of destination. A b'essing rest upon those old time conveyances, Jhe bare mention of which calls up a thousand recollections of social pleasures that come thronging and' fluttering about the nib of my pen, like month” around a bright light on a summer evening. But beautiful creatures.! lean only apostrophise you now. Some other time, 1 will impale you upon the end of iny quill, and preserve your slight forms in ink. The day was remarkably fine ; our road hy through the pleasantest parts of pleasant Connecticut, near the picturesque valley of the Ilousatouic ; our cattle were sleek and fine looking; the driver was oivil and well dressed : and the coach itself was a miracle. There was not a rent in the curtains; nor a spring out of order. There were but two passengers, besides myself, one ol whom was one of those good natured humorists, who l believe live all their lives in stage coaches, fori never «net with one any where else; and the other was an invalid, with his face tied up so that he could not speak. Never had a weary traveller a sweeter prospect of enjoying a refreshing nap. We had travelled about h mile, and the easy motion of die coach had just began to put me an I iny fellow travellers into a pleasant sleep when a shrill voice, exdaming, ‘ Stop stop !” caused the driver to rein up, which roused me from the delightful state of incip ient somnolency'into which 1 was sinking. It was an elderly lady with a inon”Uous bandbox, a paper covered trunk, and a little irl. We were of coutse debarred the sst of saying a angle ill natuied word. The driver dismounteil ffonhis box, and having stored away the lady’s baggage, pro ceeded to assist her to stow herself away i. the coach. “Driver,” said the lady “do you know Deacon Hitchcock /” “No, nia'ma,” replied the driver; " r have onlv drove this road about a fortnight.” “1 wonder if either of them gentlemen “iimv him?” she said, putting l.ei head into the coach. “1 ilou’t said the humorist; ' but I know Deacon Hotchkiss, if that will ans>er your purpose.” “Don’t neither a' them other gentlemen know him ?” she enquired. I shook my head, negatively ; foi 1 was af raid In speak, lest I should dispel the charm hat sleep had begun to shed over me ; and the invalid shook his head, as lie was una ble to speak. “Well, then I don’t know whether to gel in or not,” said the lady ; for I must see Deacon Hitchcock, betore 1 go home. 1 am a lone widow lady, all tlie way Irom the 'tate of Now Hampshire, and the deacon was a very particulat friend of mv husband’s, this little girl’s father, who has been dead two long years; and 1 should like to see him’ niazin’ly. “Does he live about here?” asked the driver. • W eil don’t know for certain,” said the aily ; “but he lives somewhere in Connecti cut—This isthe first time 1 was ever so far rem home. I live in the State ot New Hampshire and it is dreadful unpleasant; 1 ii el a little dubious about riding ail a lone in i stage with gentlemen that I never see be ore in my life.” “ L’liere's no danger ma’am,” said the dri ver, “the gentlemen won’t hurt you.” “Well perhaps they won’t: but it is verv • upleasant fur a lady to be so far from home: I live in ilie slate of New Hampshire; and 'his little girls—” “You had better gel in ma'ain,” said the driver, with praisworthy moderation. ••Weh I don’t know hull may as well,” lie replied ; and alter informing the driver nice more that she was from the state of New Hampshire, and that her husband had been dead two years, she got in and took her seal. “I will take your fare ma’am,” said the driver. “l ow much is it sir,” asked the lady. “Four and six pence,’ said the driver, “for yourself and the little girl.” “Well, that is a monstrous sight of mo ney, for a litlle girl's passage, like that; her lather, my Ituchnml lias been dead these two long years and 1 was never so iar n..„. home before in all my life. 1 live in the -.tate of New Hampshire. It is very unplea sant for a lady; but l dare say neither of them gentlemen would see me imposed up on. ‘1 will take your fare, if you please, ma’am again said the driver, in a tone bordering somewhat on impatience. “How much did you say it was C—three and six pence ?” asked the lady. “pout anil six pence, ifyou please ma’am, said the driver. “O, four-and-six pence!” And alter a good deal of fumbling and shaking ol pock ets. she a* last produced a half dollar and a York shilling, and put them in the driver's hand. “That is not enough ina'am;" said the driver, “I want nine pence more.” “What !—aiut we in York state ?” she asked eagerly. “No ma'am,” replied the driver, “it is six shillings, York money. “Well,” said the lady, “1 used to be quite good at reckoning, when 1 was to home in the state ofNew Hampshire: 1 ve reckoned many a fish v’vage; but since 1 have got so far Irom home 1 b’lieve 1 am beginning to lose my mental faculties.” “I’ll take that other nine pence, if you please ma’am ;” said the driver, in a voice approaching a little nearer to impatience At la-t. after making allusions two or three times more to her native state, and her ’le crused husband (happy man!) she ban led the driver his nine pence, and wc were once more in motion. Although my •ellow trav ellers remained silent all the time she was disputing with the driver, yet they looked as though they were wishing the New Hamp shire lady some ol the worst wishes that could be. imagined. “Do you think it dangerous oti this road ?’ began the lady, as soon as the door was closed. “I aiii a very lengthy way from home, in the State ofNew Hampshire : and if any thing should happen l don't know what 1 should do. lam quile unfanliliar with travelling ; and I hope you won’t think tne obtrusive, I am a widow lady, my husband this little girl’s father has been dead these two years coming this spring, and I am go ing with her to the Springs; she has got a dreadful bail complaint in her stomach. Are you going to the Springs, sir ! she said, addressing herself lo the invalid, who shook Ids head in reply ••Are you ?” she asked turning to me. “No ” “Ah, I am very sorrv ; I should lik*’ to put myself under the care of some clever gentle man , it is so awful for a lady to be far from bone, without a protector, lam bar from the Stale ofNew Hampshire, and this sthc first time 1 ever went tu vi-Piug in my hie. Do you know anybody in New Hampshire: * No madam, 1 do not.” said the humor ist, “and I hope you w ill excuse me lor say ing that 1 never wish to.” •‘Well, now that is very strange," contin ued the gossip. “I hav’nt met a single soul that I know, since I leit home ; and 1 am iu a public way, too ; I follow schoolkeepin, mostly for an occup ition; and I am ac quainted with all the first people in the state. I have been a school-teacher ever since iny husband died, this poor little girl’s father, two years ago: and lam very well known in Roekybnttoin. Rorkmghain county, in tho state of New Hampshire: I know all the first gentlemen in the place—Tilero’s Squire Goodwin, Squire Cushman, Mr. Timothy Havens, Mr. Zaccheus Upham, Doctor David ” ‘‘Heavens, aud earth!” exclaimed the hu- XTG St* morisf, “I can't stand this! Driver s'op, mid let p e get cut!" “Ah, are y >u going, sir?” she asked, ad* dressing the humorist. “No, lam not,” he replied: “and isl were —” But the contingency was inward \ , to uounced. The driver reined up, and the humorist took his vailse in his hand, and jumped out’ followed by the invalid, who set out to walk back to tlie tavern wc had left behind us. I thought the. New Hampshire lady would probably understand the cause of our fellow travellers, sudden departure, and leave me to the quiet enjoyment of my nap. 1 never was more mistaken. No sooner was the coach ii motion again, than she began to pour out such a running stream of surmises, and questions about “them gentlemen that left us,” mingled with reminiscences of New Hampshire, and her deceased husband, that i 1 keL’an to wish myself back again on a Rail Road car. At length, driven to dea* peration, 1 was compelled lo call out to «fOp, and let me get out. Tne lauy was ve ry earnest in her endeavo's >o persuade me to remain, but 1 was regardless of her en treaties although not exocily dtaf to them. I rook my wallet, determined to wait until the next coach came along, 1 was some dis tance from a tavern, but there Was a quiet looking burying ground just at the foot- of the bill, which to my wearied eyes held out a promise of rest, and as the sun was low I determined to leap the picket fence and with my wallet for a pillow take a nap on thn dry warm grass. COL. KARNES—AN AMUSING AN ECDOTE. Those who have seen this celebrated pio neer of Texas, must have remarked I’is pe < uliarly red hair and whiskers. The Colo nel is a good nntured, honest-hearted fellow, and brave as a lion withal. He recently re lated to us an amusing anecdote of himself, which we here take the liberty of publishing. iSome seven or eighi years since, when the Indians on tlie frontier of Texas were less hostile than now, tli« Colonel was travelling through the Camancbe country aloi.c. On approaching one of the villages, lie was met bv a party who surrounded and took him prisoner. He was carried in the village, and the treatment he there received was at first such as gave him some apprehensions that the Indians would kill him. Hesawno possibility of escaping. But he. appeared contented, and made every majilestatiou of friendship, by distributing the contents of bis saddle-bags in presents lo those 'round him. Among other things he gave tht in beads paints, &c.. which seemed to delight ihe natives amazingly. The Colonel wit nessed this with pleasure, and he began t* feel himsell safe again. But his joy was not allowed to continue long. Soon a large tumherofgquawscame 10 him. Rin<’ inp. \ etlinl' anilrrianeinir • ami fa. king him by force, conveyed him lo a eieek, where, after divesting him of his apparel, they soused him into the water, neck and heels. Alter his immersion, the squaws, old ones .md young ones, splashed in alter, him, and gave him such a ducking, the poor Colonel thought his "lime was come,” and he tried to console himself with tiie old saying, that “he who is drowned will never be hanged,” although he found it rather cc'.d coinfort for il was in the month of Decem ber. llis murderers—as he was forced to view them—wc old seize him by the head, and Holding it under ihe water, would rub 11 and pull it like hungry ducks “lighting on J line-bugs.” He stood it manfully.—like a martyr,—and after holding his breath under water until he almost burst bis boiler, with a tremendous eifort, be would throw his head above the surlace, and snorting like a sea horse, blow the water far and near. This was rare sport lo his tormentors, who, scarce ly giving him time to breathe, would pounce upon lus red head, .md exposed him to the same operation again.
