for the present, that at its hebdomadal appearance it
brings with it the choicest productions of native talent ;
enough, of itself, to endear it to every American.

The Southern Literary Messenger.
We call the attention of our readers to the Card of
the Editor of the Messenger, Mr. Thomas W. White,
which will be found below. We hope no Georgian
will be found wanting in promptitude, to lend his aid to
the foremost literary periodical of the South. (We speak
of those who are subscribers to the work.)
The Southern Literary Messenger is published in
Richmond, Va., monthly. Tt contains 64 large super
royal octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and neat- j
ly covered, a! $5 a year—payable in advance.
We sincerely hope 'hat the attention of the Southern
reader will be called to the support of this work, which
so highly merits their consideration, and is so richly de
serving of their support.
A CARD.
To the Patrons of the Southern Literary
Me -sender. —The startling cost tit which this
work ias been established, and is sustained, and
the backwardness of nany subscribers in fulfil
ling their part of our mutual compact, calls in
dispensably for an appeal ; not to their liber
al itv—b it to their justice. If punctual pay
ments are ever to b(3 necessary, they are pre
enxuentlv so in the case of such a publication :
p'r-pL/ literary—almost original—and desti
tute a** the vital aid which newspapers derive
from advertisements. ~
Mv all is nt stake, in this enterprizo. Tt is a
venture, stimulated indeed by some hope ol i
emolument; but founded largely, also, upon!
well warranted exjiectation of rallying South
ern talents and Southern public spirit, around j
the drooping and well-nigh prostrate ba.ner of
Southern Literature. Since it has now acquir
ed claims also upon Southern justice,—can it
be, that these arc urged in vain !
Subscribers then, who are in arrears—and
let them remember that payment is due in ad
vancc—will, I trust, without delay, transmit tiie
amounts they owe, to me, at Richmond, by,
mail, at my risk and cost; taking proper evi
dence of the fact and date of mailing, and re
taining a memorandum of each note.
THOMAS W. WHITE.
Richmond, Va., November 4th, 1637.
The following remark?, in relation to this matter, we
find in the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinei, of the 20th
insiant, which we give our readers, in preference to
any of our own :
The November number of this beautiful and
excellent periodical (The Southern Literary
Messenger) is an exceedingly able and inter
esting one—the best that has appeared for
some time—and while we earnestly recom
mend it to the attention of the public, we re
gret that we have not time to devote to it tne
critical examination and elucidation of its merits
wiiich it so richly deserves. We cannot, How
ever, omit to mention the excellent article enti
tled “ Miss Marti ncau on Slavery by “ A
South-Carol inan which, though we difler
from it in one or two minor matters, is one of
trie very best periodical papers that we have
read for a long time, especially the latter six or
seven pages of it, since President Dew’s match
less essays on the subject, and partly in the
same work. Its perusal alone is worth double
the subscription price of the Messenger, to any
intelligent and reflecting individual, especially
if he be a slave-holder ; and, contracted, lalse,
and suicidal indeed, must be the policy or econ
omy of that slave-holder wao would hesitate a
moment to subscribe for a work which thus
triumphantly upholds his dearest interest and
character, and those of his country, against the
determined slanders of and assaults of the whole
civilized world. It is monstrous, disgraceful,
abominable, that, in tiie face of t lose things,
trie talented, patriotic and indefatigable Editor
and Proprietor should have to appeal, as he
does in this very number, not merely to the lib
erality of the Southern people, but to the justice
of his non-paying subscribers, in behalf of such
a work. Shame, shame to them, and to the
South generally, that a work which has so g eat
ly elevated their literary and moral character,
at home and abroad, and so nobly vindicates
their estimable, but calumniated institutions,
should thus be forced to so painful and humili
ating a necessity. While the Abolitionists are
showering patronage and money upon their
vile publications, and some of them from one
to ten thousand dollars each annually, to slan
der us in the eyes of the world, and undermine
the very foundations of our society, we hesitate
to patronize a single work which ably and no
bly vindicates us—vea, even withhold the mo
ney absolutely due to it, and necessary to sus
tain its existence! What can we hope from such
conduct —such stupid indifference, senseless
economy, or heartless ingratitude ? Favor aiid
support from God, or respect and regard from
man? Surely not. Does either help t ose
who will not help themselves ? And what else
can sustain us, and our institutions, against the
combined power and assaults of the whole civ
ized world ? The South must awake from this
delusive lethargy, and false, dangerous, des
tructive sense of security, or its days are num
bered, and its blooming fields and beautiful cit
ies will soon be known only among tiie things
that were.
The 3lin 1 ami the Body.
Oh, what a crushing sense of impotence
comes over us wiien we feel our frame cannot
support our mind. Wiien the hand cannot
execute what the soul, active as ever, conceives
and desires ! The quick life tied to the dead
fori n—tae ideas fresh as immortality, gushing
forth rich and golden, and the broken nerves,
and aching frame and the weary eyes ! The
spirit athirst for liberty and heaven—damning,
choking consciousness that we are walled up
and prisoned in a dungeon that must be our
bur’al place ! Talk not of freedom—there is
no such th ug as freedom o a man whose
body is the jail—whose infirmities are tiie racks
of genius!

Still Later accounts from Canada—nil go to
confirm the probability of War!
About nine arrests for high Treason have been made
from among the principle citizens. It is expected that
the country will soon be declared under martial law.
The following is an extract from the New-York Ex
press, of the 23d ultimo, which wili shew in some de
gree the state of the country near Montreal:
The houses and barns by the roadside from
which tiie Cavalry had Iteen fired upon in tiieir
: retreat, were all found with the doors and win
dow shutters nailed up. A careful search
Was of course made, but though the fires were
■ still burning in some of them, there were nei
jther weapons nor inmates to be found in any.
The party then proceeded along the road, find
;ing the houses w til one or two except ions on
ly, deserted, and uniformly without arms in
, them. Scouts were frequently se#n mounted,
and riding down the several concession roads
to the main roads; but on sight of the troops,
I they uniformly started off* again. An individ-
Jual who was met upon the main road, stated
that as he had came along lie had seen limn
[hereof men, woman and children, leaving the
houses along the road, and going off right and
left, tie men mostly armed. About six miles
from Chambly a man was over taken on the
road, armed. When arrested, he admitted
that he had turned out to join a party timt was
designed to intercept the troops. About a
j mile furthr t the Cavalry, who were little in ad
vance of ti e main body, gave chase to a party
of about 30 armeM horsemen, whom they
saw ut some distance before them and who
made off immediately at full speed, turning to
the left up a Concession road towards the Bel
leisle mountain. After a mile and a naif of
hard riding, most of them took to the woods,
while the remainder made their escape along
the road. A company of the infantry coming
up, were then ordered to the bush, tiie Cavalry
being drawn up along the edge to cut olFsucu
as might be driven out.
Some twenty or thirty shots were exchanged
—with what effect on the reliefs is not, known:
and two prisoners named Mongeau, father and
son, and four horses, were taken. No eof
the soldiers w ere hurt. The elder Mongeau,
when taken, was armed with a horse pistol, the
younger with a fusee. Both had a good sup
ply of ball cattridge, a part of which they do
dared to have been served out to them by Dr.
Kember, of Chambly, one of the missing he
roes of the revolution, whose present locate is
by many shrewedly conjectured to be south of
line 45 deg. (i. c. in the States ) On trr ving
at Booth’s Tavern, not far from Chambly. a
party of about 100 men were found posted ju t
beyond tae bridge ; but they made off so fast
as the troops came up, that only four of them
were taken. The party reached Chambly
with their seven prisoners a little after sun
down. From the general statements made by
the prisoners, it is evident that a very large
bodv of men had been called out to oppose tae
troops, and that courage, rather th in numbers,
was wanting, to induce them to attempt it.—
The two Mongeaus, we understad are identi
fied as having been of the party that fi red on
the Cavalry on Friday. The two Magistrates
and the Deputy Sheriff returned on Saturday
night to the city. The troops with their pris
oners, who are placed in separated confine
ment, remaine at Chambly.

It is with feelings of more than ordinary regret (say?
the Baltimore Chronicle, of the 25’h that we learn
from a gentleman who arrived in this city las' night,
that the Hon. Joseph Kent, Senator in Congress from
this State, was thrown from his horse yesterday, while
riding through his farm, and immediately killed.—
