TEA lllS is a monthly Magazine, devoted JL chiefly to Literaturk, but occasion ally finding room also for articles tha fall within the scope of Science ; and not pro essing an entire disdain of tasteful selerfion*\ thotfgh its mtitter has he-u, as it will con tinue to be. m tlie main, original. Party Politics, and controversial 7V:. oL ntry, 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 for the sake of the more valu able matter to which they adhere: bu' w henever that happens they are incidental, only, not primary. They arc dross, tolera ted only because it cannot well be severed from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor porated. Reviews r. id Critical Notices, occii py theirdoO vi-we i t the work : and it is tlie Editor's aim that they should liavx a three fold tendency—to convey, in a condensed form, auch valuable truths or interesting in cidents ns 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 ami 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 verwhelmn every umiiscrim'mating student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, is one of tlte most inesti mable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him who does irish to discriminate. Essays and Tales, having in view utility or amusement, or both ; Historical sket ches—and Reminisences of events too min ute for History. y<-t elucidating it, and heightning its interest—may be regarded as forming the staple of the work. And of indigenous Poethv, enough is publish ed—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 demand such a work—and not one alone, but manyt The public in hid is feverish and irritated still, from recent political strifes : The soft, a atasiv- influence of Lit erature is ner led, to allay that fever, and soothe that irritation. Vice and folly are rioting abroad :—Thrv should be driven by indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, in to their fitting ha-in-' ; . Ignorance lords it over tin immense proportion of our peo pie:—Every'spring should be set hi motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to increase their number; sc that tile great enemy of popular government may no longer brood, like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of our country. And to accomplish all these ends, what more powerful agent ran be employed, than a periodica! on the plan of the Messenger; if that plan be but.car ried out in practice ? The South peculiarly rertUires such an agent. In all the Union, south of Washing ton, there are hut 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 and taste, we may justly claim, at ieast, a t equality with our brethren md a domestic institution exclusively our own, beyond till doubt, affords us, if wo 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 inte ests. Far from any such thought, it is th - Editor's fervent wish, to < see tiie North and South bound endearing ly together, forever, in the silken bands *>f mutual kindness and ideetion. Far from meditating hostility to the north, he has il readv drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest matter thence: and happy indeed will lie deem himself, should his pages, by making each region know the other better contribute in any es sentia! degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fraternal love. The Southern Literaiy Messenger has now been inexistence four years—the pre sent No commencing the fifth volume. How tar it has acted out the ideas here ut tered, is not for the Editor to say; he be lieves, however, that it falls not further short of them, than human weakness usually makes Practice fall short of Theory. CONDITIONS. 1. The Southern Literary Messenger is published in monthly numbers, of 64 large superroyal octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and neatly covered, at 55 a year— payable in advance. 2.

C. PENDLETON &GEOR3E F. PiETCE. To the Ladies of Georgia and to the South generally, thefodowing plan is most re spectjuliy submitted-, li is hoped that it tail recace lluir serious nauition, and meet their approbation, since it is / r their especial benefit that the tcor/e is projected . PROSPECTUS. In submitting tiie following plan, we Would first call tlte. attention of the Ladies, and all those who lt—t interested (and who are those ih.it do not l ) in the welfare ami improvement ol the female sex, to the pre sent condition oftlie Southern Press. Near ly all tlte publications which issue from it ore engaged in its. political discus sions, ami tli.-ir columns teem with accusa tions, denials, abuse, ami every other form of wordy warfare—carried on in language, frequently unfit for “cars polite," and seldom suited to the delicacy and gentleness which belong so peculiarly to the Female charac ter. Os flm few literary papers published South of the Potomac, there is notone exclusive ly dedicated to the LADIES! We have felt flits ,1s want which might to be sup plied 1 and we propose to make an effort to do so, confident that our endeavors will be crowned with success, ii -ve can only sectitc the hearty co-operation of those for whose welfare we are about to labor—'l ire Ladiet nt the South. Ami we expect, further, that every intelligent mind among the other sex, will view with approbation, and aid in sus taining, an enterprise designed to improve the minds of those, without whose cheering smiles and soothing companionship, life would be dreary and this fair world a desert. We wish also to afford to the Ladies a field for the exercise of their own talents, and for the developement oftlie resources of their minds. The list of authors tor some years past, have frequently enrolcd the names ol Females whose glorious success has shed an additional radiance on the name ol “Wo mas." i’lie “lords'of creation" have been forced to acknowledge that t.,e Female mind is, by no means, deficient in capacity anil intellectual endowments, whilst, at the same time, it is possessed of superior delicacy out! tact. Long was Woman's mind field in thraldom, long were her powers underrated, and forced loren ain inactive or unexercised by the force of conventional arrangements ; but her chains are broken, and her liberty has been proclaimed. Tiie article of Mos lem faith, that “Women have no souls,” no longer obtains among us Let the Ladies now assert their own privileges, and we of fer them, in our proposed work, a medium for the expression oi their own views and sentiments, on all that appertains, in any de gree, to the welfare and improvement ol their sex. It, offering the p!,in of a SOUTHERN LADIEB, BOOK, we do not intend that it shall Oe precisely similar to a work of like name, at the North. We leave to our Nor thern cotemporary pictorial representations of fashion and dress, for tlte embellishment of their person ; be it ours to provide a garb of purity, elegance, refinement and grace, fur the adornment of tne mind. All that may contribute to form tbe heart, invigorate the mind, purify the affections, and refine tiie manners, shall be our especi al care, that our work may be a useful aid to the young, and fan. anti beautiful, in pre paring themselves for the discharge of the noble and arduous duties which devolve on Woman; in Iter varied capacity of Daughter, Wife & Mother,■ And we lepent tint in the accomplishment of this high enterprise, wc confidently expect the aid and support of en lightened and judicious of both sexes. Ar rangements lor regular aid will be made with several Ladies, whose productions have already gained then, high fa-rein the litera ry world—and several gentlemen of distin guished attainments h ive already been se cured as contributors, from whom scientif ic tracts, with notes, and observations on the arts, may be expected. This depart ment oftlie work will receive marked alien tion. In short, nothing will be omitted which may tend to give me publication auch character, as will render it worthy the atten tion of the learned, and those to whom it is dedicated— • Ike Ladies of the South and IVcst. It only remains to obtain the requis ite number of subscriber*—-say two thou sand —and if the Ladies will smile upon, and aid our efforts’, that number wil! not long be wanting. Let them urge their Fath ers, llte-bmil, Brothers, and Friends, aud it is soon done. 05 s * The work will contain sixty-four roy al octavo pages, stitched in a neat colored cover, and will appear monthly. Terms: Five dollars per annum payable on the deliv ery of the firs! number. 05 s * It is highly important to state, that all tlie the subscribers names which may be obtained, shonld iie forwarded by the Ist of December next.

All was bustle and contusion among tl fashionables of a quiet little tu«n in one . the weste u tier ol coumms of our State, on Die day proceeding the « retting for a se lect ball. The ladies became groat preties trains, and were on foot tor Imufs together, whilst husbands and lathers were at home waiting in awful suspense for their return with the shop-keeper's bill. The shop keepers were more polite than usual; inas much as gauze, lace, and ribbons were tbe only articles in demand, and were bought without tiie irritating query, vm’t you take less?’ and not a milliner could complain at night of a want of custom tin.l n foil purse. Evening advanced and the bustle increased. Beaux just irom the bandbox, might be seen with a glove in one band ami courage in the other, tapping at the door of the we, Ithy, and tipping and bowing as if made of a vib'.ttory material, with as much cash in their pockets as brains in tlnur noddles, and more brass in their face than either. One ot ihes mushroom gentry, who had the faculty of talking nonsense, had capti vated the charming Meliitnble Clarissa Adclia Bacon, tliiid daughter of the weal thy Cant. Jacobus Bacon, of the invinci ble volunteer company of heroes, vulgarly called 'barefoot.' ..Ito with remarkable vai or during the bite war effected a bloodless (not a madless) letrent through n swamp two miles wide with the enemy in expec tation at their heels. At the appointed hour and according to proiiuse, this spring cl beau vioiitle alluded to pulled the bell nt the door oftlie redoubtable captain, which was answered by their female servant, who among the rest was preparing for the ball, and in her best ‘lob aud tucker,’ made a pd lite bow and invited tin* coxcomb in. Twi light deceived his already defective vision, (defective. Ibr it is sometimes said that love, like wine, makes men see double, es pecially if. they run against a lamp post) and lie mistook the servant for bis Mchitnble.

Why. yeth—l am mistaken---fauth—-the devil!—bowing anil talking to tlie servant gill! YVberth your mistress? ‘Walk into the parlor, sir,’ answered the insulted gill, I wiil call her.’ Render, wunldst thou know who this servant t ill might be. i.f whom we have been chatting? Well, listen arid I'll tell thee. Didst ever hear ol William K—— once a very Wealthy shipping, merchant of New Y orli, who through multiplied losses, was exiled irom the dominion of wealth, and consequently fashion, and for many years dwelt obsurely in a country village with the only remnet of a once large family, a charming daughter ? This is the very child. At the age often she became art orphan, but not friendless The gentlemanly character «»f her father even in poverty, had wot; the esteem of all anil this survivor of his xcmtnulared misfor tunes found a home and a friend with a wealthy country gentleman. She grew up to womanhood, beautiful and accomplished and beloved by all the family as a sister and a child. But death claimed her adopted mother as his ; and her prospects changed. The woman who mi; plied iter place a few months aftferwar.ls, vas her antipodes, and Amanda R stepped forth in the wide world depei derc np»:i physical strength alone far subsistence. But the good wish es of her adopted family went with her, and a situation in tbe family of Captain Bacon was secured to her, at which place the tra der will recollect he <>r she found her. But I will resume my story. At an early hour the bail room was filled with a truly brilliant .iwa, . ige,—There w ere red cheeks In profusion, some painted by nature aud others by art.— Bright eyes in abundance, some sparkling with intelligence, others with joyous excitement, and among the rougher sex. many with wine. Mirth and hillarity bore regal sway, until a disco v( rv was made —a discovery considered by that Assemble of equal importance to 11 er chel's lunar observations. The dance was suspended notwithstanding Sambo still saw ed Lis fat-gut, and a whisper ran through the crowd. The purse proud vinegar faced Mrs./ had the honor oT making tbe dis envry- a discovery in which was involved the reputation ofali presrnt. It was nothing loss than the lamentable fact that Amanda K tlte servant girl of Captain Bacon, had im pertinently introduced herself into the com pany of her betteis, and actually danced two cotillions with them before tire degrading truth was known. ‘Did you ever sec such impertinence?’ say« one. ‘What a brazen thing !’ said another. ‘Why, see how she's dressed!’ said n third. ‘Suchn character,’ whispered a fourth. ‘They say—but never mind now !’ ‘A pot-slew-<‘r inVoi r company—tlte wench .' chimed in Mrs. 7, , w ith tiist elegance of expression whie ! d.anirtr i'e ! her, and tur ning up her nose, adv-'- -d the Indies to leave the room and no longer be insulted with her presence. r I I,;S advice was assented to by the intelligent company, and the poor but infinitely superior girl was left alone—a b tslted, and almost nrc-come w ith emotion. He who invited her thither was the son of her adopted father, who uni.cd with intelli gence a graceful and gentlemanly deport ment, tne command of extensive possessions in one of the most fertile portions of our State, lie was alispnt when the revolution in the ha'l room took place, but returned just as it was evacuated bv the Indies. As tonished mi ihecliange.itid perceivtitg Aman da standing with face suffused v i h-blushes. Ire iift-dtly inquired the r-ttt'-e. A friend drew him aside, andcomnvnuicated the facts as I have penned them—the young man was enraged, anil with an emphasis adequate to his just excitement, exclaimed * Whai’a that purse proud fool—that ignorant parrot of fashion wo ah. who srm-ns virtue it ts coupled wAth poverty 1 ?’ - .i. IT<D <l9. I ,Ten thous; r and dollars,’ weird hit* ! friend. •Ten thousand dollars, eh ? \Y*T, Atr.an :> is worth that sehi'iiLil the I .ughty ba.l be bargain. T«r. tl cusantl dollars : ami (■it forsooth, ballanced against virtuous respectability. IDrc, Amanda, n*y girl.* said lie, taking Iter by tbe hand and bowing res pc ( (fully to the gentlemen firesenf, *l p l us leave this place, where haughty pride, pampered and fed vit ii crumbs of wealth, exercises an influence superior to the dic tates of good sense, where virtue is endan gered.’ So saying, they left the place mu! return ed home. The very next morning after the hai 1 . Amanita K , the ; our, the slighted, the abused girl, who was denied the boon of mixing it, society because she wore th» russet mantle of poverty, received from the hands ol the indignant young man, an inurn ment of writing, securing to her possession the lull and tintiirided amount ol ten thous and dollars. This gift, and, the motives which prompted it were soon made I.noun to the haughty M is. Z , and envy, mote rankling and painful than disdain, supplied the place of the latter. Nor was the cupof bittermss yet full.—With all the solici tude ol a mother, she h and laid si.arcs to en trap the young man it, question as n !»«•- band for her owu charming gray ey* and daugh ter, and fondly imagined that his urbanity was an evidence that she had caught him in her meshes. But alas! how soon do tlte most towering expectations fall from high stations. Ere two mouths had elapsed, the humble Amanda became the wife of the wealthy Edgar N . Time rolled on in its silent course, bearing upon its tide sw eet flowers and beaming sunshine, and everv ingredient of happiness for the youthful pair, and those who turned their backs upon plain Bacon’s servant girl, became the courtiers and fawning sycophants of Mis. N ■, who in her new station, was es more amiable, no more worthy of esteem, no mote beloved by the truly good. Twenty summers haves uce scattered their blossoms around her quiet mansion, and the slight ton, lies of tiie frost of age are gethering lipnu tlte temples oi lier food husband. Yet love, pute and holy, still warms the domes tic circle wherein the alter ol' iruc'benevo-* Inner is reared. The good things of life arm poured into her lap iu abundance, while she distributes with a prodigal hand their bless ings among the children of cheerless pover ty, Mid it may be truly said, ‘that her chil dren rise up and call her blessed, her liux band also, and lie proisetli In r.’ What an instructive moral may be gain ed front incidents of this kind-—incident* which occur almost daily in the great mass of society. Tlte simple tale I have told is not the figure work of fancy wrought tip from thelitmel material of fiction, but ba sed upon fact. How often me such farts exhibited to our view, to the great discre dit of 'intellectual worth ! Virtue, beauty, intelligence, moral worth, the highest at* tributes of intelligent creatures, are often forced to bow before the gilded shrine of mammon, whose aheis are oft* n bn,lt up amid the mouldering mins of Genius, and w hose sacrificial rites eon fist in the utter prostration and dislruction of all that is great hi.(l iu blc in nature, all that is 1 right •too lovely in humanity.
