Febnary 4, 1840. 41 riwsi'ECTUs~ OK TIIK SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER. f is a monthly Magazine, devoted I. chiefly to Litkratuuk. but occasion ally finding room alsy for articles thiv fall within the scope ol Science ; and not pro • ssing an entire disdain of tasteful selections, though its matter has been, as it util con tinue to be, in the main, original. Party Politics, and controversial Tkeol oerif, 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 tn which they adhere: bu' 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 tbeirdue space in the work: ami 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 want him against wasting time and money upon that large number, which merit only to lie burned. In this age of publications that by their variety an t multitude, distract and u verwhehnn every undiscriminating student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, is one of the most inesti mable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him who does wish to discriminate. Essays and Tales, h iving in view utility or amusement, or both ; Historical sket ches—and Remi.sisencf.s of events too min ute for History, yet elucidating it, and heightning 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 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 Tiie public mind is feverish and irritated still, from recent political strifes: The soft, assuasive inllucnce of Lit eral ure is needed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irritation. Vice and folly are rioiiug 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 pto pie:—Every spring should be set in motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to increase their number; so that the great enemy of popular government may no longer brood, like a portentmus cloud, over the destinies of our country. And to accomplish all those 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 1 The South peculiarly requires such an agent. In all the Union, south of Washing ton, there arc 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 and taste, we may justly claim, at least, an equality with our brethren ind a domestic institution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, affords ux, if 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 see tne North and South bound endearing ly together, forever, in the silken bauds of mutual kindness and affection. Far from meditating hostility to the north, lie lias i ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter ! draw, much of his choicest matter tlicnce and happy indeed will he deem himse! should his pages, by making each regi>. know the other better contribute in any <- sential degree to dispel the lowering ciotm that now threaten the peace of both, a to brighten and strengthen the sacred tie of fraternal love. The Southern Literary Messenger lia now been inexistence four years—the pre sent No commencing the fifth volume. How far it has acted out the ideas here ut tered, is riot 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, anti neatly covered, at $5 a year— payable in advance. 2. Or five nnv subscribers, by sending then names and S2O at one time to the edi tor, will receive, their copies for one year, for that sum, or at ?4 for each. 3. The risk of loss of payments for sub scriptions, wliich have been properly com mitted to the mail, or to the hands of a post master, is assumed by the editor 4. If a subscription is not directed to be discontinued before the first number of the next volume lias been published, it will be taken as a continuance for another year. Subscriptions must commence with the be ginning of the volume, and will not be ta ken for less than a year's publication. 5. The mutual obligations of the publish er and subscriber, for the year, are fully in curred as soon as the first number of the volume is issued : and after that time, no discontinuance of a subscription will he permitted. Nor will a subscription be dis continued for any earlier notice, whtie any thing thereon remains due, unless at the option of the Editor. Riehtnoud, Virginia.

March 10 48 ly Who wants better evi-, DENCE?—I would refer the read ing public to the numerous voluntary letters published recently in this paper aud in the Good Samaritan relative to the happy and beneficial effects of the administration of MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHE NIX BITTERS. Those who have i>erused the letters above referred to will observe that in almost every case they attest the fact, that no inconven ience ol any sort atteiuis the taking of these medicines, in ordinary cases, but that the patient, without feeling their operation, is universally left in a stronger aud bet tar state of health than was experienced previous to being afflicted with disease, and in all cases of acute suffering, great relief is obtained in a few hours, and a cure is generally ef fected iu two or three days. In cases of FEVER of every description, md all bilious affections, it is unnecessary for me to say aught, as I believe the LIFE MEDICINES are now universally admitted to be the most speedy and elfetual cure ex tant in all diseases of that class. The LIFE MEDICINES arc also a most excellent relief in affections of the Li ver and Bowels, as has been proved iu hun dreds of cases where patients have came forward and requosted their experience iu taking them might be published for the ben efit ol others. In their operation in such cases, they restore the tone of the Stomach, strengthen the digestive organs, and invigo rate the general junctions ol the whole body anil thii be< ome to both sexes (for they ar perleclly adapted to each) an invaluable means of peveuliug disease aud restoring health. In affections of the head, whether ac companied with pain and giddiness, or mar ked by the grievous calamity of impaired mental energy; in palpitations of the heart, flatulence, loss of appetite, and strength, and he multiplied symtoms of disordered di gestion, THE LIFE MEDICINES will be found to possess ihe most salutary effica <7- Constitutions relaxed, w ak, or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of TilE LIFE MEDICINES.— Old coughs, asthmas, aud consumptive ha bits are soon relieved and speedily cured.— Poverty of blnod. and emaciated limbs will ere long meet the happiest change; tiie chill watery fluid will become rich and bal samic', and the limbs covered with flesh, firm and healthy. Nervous disorders of every kind, and from whatever cause arising, fly before the ef fects of THE LIFE MEDICINES, and all that train of sinkings, anxieties, and tre mours which so dreadfully affect the weak, the sedentary, and the delicate, will in a short time be succeeded by (,-beerful ness, and every presage of health For weal.ness, deficiency of natural strength, and relaxation of the vessels, bv too requent indulgence of the passions, 1h is medicine is a safe, certain, aud invaluable remedy. Those who have long resided in hot cli mates, and are languid and relaxed in their whole system, may take THE LIKE ME DICINES with the happiest effecu*; aud persons removing to tiie Southern States or \Ve«t Indies can notstore a more important article of health and life. The following cases are among the most recent cures effected, and gratefully ac knowledged by the persons benefited : Case of Jacob C. Hunt, New Windsor, Orange couu'y, N Y —A dreadful tumor destroyed, nearly the whole of his lace, nose and jaw. Experienced quick relief from the use ol the Lite Medicines, and in less than three months was entirely cured. (Case reported, with a wood engraving in anew pamphlet now in press.) Case ofThosmas Pitrsell, sen’r 84 years of age—was afflicted 18 years with a swell ing in his legs—was ent rely cured by tak ing 42 pills in three weeks.

V . & A certificate from three members of the MEDIC VL PROFESSION in Germany, in Europe. We, tiieundersigned, practitionersof me dicine in Geri ny are well aware that, by our course, v nay forfeit tiie friendship of some of the 'ulty, but not of its benevo lent members Hio tire uninfluenced by sel fish motives. Though we shall refrain from an expressio of our opinion, either of the soundness c <iUsotiiidi;ess of Dr.Jbloelicke’s new doctrin „ we arc happy to sny that we deem his Sanative too valuable" not to be generally known—for what our eyes behold and our ears hear, we must believe. We hereby state, that when Dr. Louis Offon Goehcke first ctuue before the German public, as the pretended disco-erer of anew doctrine and anew medicine, we held him in the highest contempt, believing, and openly pronouncing him to be abase impostor and the prince of quacks. But, on hearing so much said about the Sanative, against it and foi it, we were induced, from motives of cu riosity merely, to make trial of its reputed virtues upon a numborof our most hopeless patients; and we now deem it our bounden duty (even at the expense of our self inter est) publicly to acknowledge its efficacy in curing not only consumption, but other fear ful we have heretofore be lieved to he incurable. Our contempt for the discoverer of this medicine was at once swallowed up in our utter astonishment at these unexpected results; and, as amends far our abuse of him, we do frankly confess to the world, that we believe him a philan thropist. who does honor to the profession, anil to our country, which gave him birth. The recent adoption of tnis medicine into someof our European hospitals is a stiffi ent guarantythat it performs all its promises. It needed not our testimony for whe rit is used -i is its own best witness. MERMAN ETMULLF.R, >' 9. WALTER VAN GAULT, P. ADOLPHUS WERNER, D- Germany, December 10 1 • ” J. B.
