The composition used in these Plasters, is carefully
| prepared at a lower temperature, from a combination o
valuable Resinous Gums, with (he ad-mixture of sever
al choice aromatics, entirely separated from all extra
neous and irritating particles; and from its peculiar
combination of hiphty strengthening, anodyne and
sliphlly stimulating properties it affords a pleasant and
effectual remedy, in all cases of pain in the ride and
hreast, weakness or oppression of the chest; pain or weak
ness of the back or loins ; Also, in the sense of sinking
: and faitness at the pit of the stomach, accompanying
I Dyspepsia and Liver Com/Jaint. In Rhematic, or pain
ful.of lections of the limbs or joints, their Anodyne and
Stimulating properties render them particularly' benefi
cial. In Colds, Coughs, or Asthmatic Affections, they
will be found to give immediate and permanent relief

To children suffering from IVhooping Cough, or

“ THE SOUTHERN PIONEER »
Devoted to the Literature, Institutions and Am
mems of the South.-CAorfe, Wyatt Rb£. FnT*'
rite South is the natural home of Literature Sfoa —
ever been so Homer strolled and sung under ,h„ ‘ iaS
ot the fervid sun ; Italy and Greece haveT “
first weakening into being as civilized natio n f >< iff %
their Poets and Orators. The Literary nV ff ° rded
bends his step to the South of Europe a«h f m e '; er

of Dante, the epic measures of "the madman T« n8
the soft strains of Petrarch, and the plensi,J
Boccacio. And while thus fondly recalling? ™ a?eso t
all these, he remembers that they drew them
from the fervid sun of Italy and Greece" He feeu'° n
the balmy air he breathes, in the brilliam heavet
form the canopy above him, in the brilliancy of th eS un
•X tS * h ? t f' OW m ’ha horizon, and in the tints ,ha t t £
air and clime spread over the earth, the inspiration that
Such food'for Inspiration does the Literary pilgrim
find on the classic shores of Italy and Greece
der the fervid sun of the South. ' And is it
a kindred chine in the Western Hemisphere presents
no parallel to this ? Do the same sun, the same bril
hanev of the canopy of clouds, the same glorious sun
fosn’irarinnT 6 , " ,ts ' , J’ on ,he landscape, afford no
inspiration here ? A wilder, a more abrupt scenerv

m those who dwell among them. And do all these af
ford no inspiration ? They do inspire; they have spo.
ken in the eloquent tones of the Rutledge and Pmck
neys of the Revolution ; they have spoken in the po
lished pages ot a Gnmke; they are now speaking in
Vi e s . ,ra ' ns Charlton, a Gilman, Wilde, Simmes
Meek, Butt, Pendleton, Ticknor, Wittick.in the faith-'
tul scenes of a Longstreet, and in the vivid sketches of
Strong, Ware, Morrow, and Moragne. Ave, more
they are speaking in the thousand of the voting, who
east hack to the mountains, the waterfalls and the
streams their inspiration in living tones, and whose wild
songs through rare publications, sometimes startle the
public ear. They do speak in these thousand who with
a proper medium for communicating their thoughts to
the public, would electrify the world by their eloquent
[ones Nor does the South lack for inspiration in her
historic incidents. A brief reference in the mind of
each individual to the striking incidents in the early
history of each of the Southern States, will convince
him that they afford rich materials from which the rea
dy pen may draw for amusement and instruction. But
more than all these do the leisure and opportunities for
mental cultivation that her domestic institutions afford
her citizens, present strong grounds of belief that the
South is destined to become the centre of Literary in
terest. As this leisure and this opportunity for mental
cultivation find no parallel in any other country, it is
natural to believe that the South is destined to become
to the world in anew era what Greece was to the world
in the old.
This is our profession of faith. We believe, in a
word, that no part of the world has greater literary re
sources within herself, or is better calculated from her
natural scenery, the peculiarities of her climate, the
leisure of her citizens, and her general advantages, to
become on eminently literary community than the
Southern States of this confederacy. This is the plat
form on which we intend to raise a Weekly Journal,
to which Southern writers shall delight to contribute,
and which the whole South shall be proud to claim as
its own. Believing most firmly that success will crown
our exertions, no effort will be spared to draw from ev
ery portion of the South, contributions upon every sub
ject, which, while they shall be of a high character,
shall ever range
From grave to gay, from lively to severe.
We believe that the institutions of the South are
founded in the immutable laws of the God of Nature.
We believe that on them will lie built a fabric of glory
and greatness to the South. We believe especially that
they afford to the Southern States the means of out
stripping the rest of the world in their literary career.
And we know that these are times of peculiar danger
to these institutions; we know that they are now nt
tncked by die insidious foe us well bv the open enemy.
We shall therefore place our Journal as a sentinel on
the watch-tower of Southern Institutions, ever watch
ful for attacks, and ever ready to repel them.
We delight in the amusements and holidays of the
South. We glory in them ns fit amusements for a peo
ple generous and brave, quirk in their impulses, and
shunning sluggishness We delight in trie gun and
chase. We hail merry old Christmas and its cheerful
sports as old friends and true, setting the brow free
from care, making the bosoms of men to glow with
cheerful and friendly emotions, calling friends to the
festive hoard and to the exchange of kind thoughts and
sentiments, and sending all away to run in joyfulness
their course of duty until the invitations to joy ami
mirth are again renewed. The pages of the Journal
will, therefore, be enlivened with lively chronicles of
exploits in the sports of the field, and with spirited
sketches ot the lull and frolic that merry old Christmas
lets loose upon us Wc will also, in order to please all,
give a weekly abstract of the most important news of
the day. And fur the fair practisers upon the Pianoor
Guitar, shall occasionally embellish our pages with ori
ginal and selected Music.
It is a fortunate circumstance for the interest of a
work of this nature, that the field of Literature at the
South is, as yet, comparatively, untrodden. The Lit
erary resources of the South, great as they are ac
knowledged to be, are as yet, comparatively undevelo
ped Every grove, river, dale and mouniau , has yet
its tale to tell We therefore send our Journal forth as
a Pioneer to gather the riches of this new country.—
From every hill, dale, river and mountain, he will re
turn laden with rich stores. These stores, original and
varied in their character, as they must be, he will be
proud to display for the amusement and instruction of
his readers. We ask for him a kind reception at the
hands of all friends of the cause in whicii he has em
barked.
Having thus detailed the plan of onr future opera
tions, we commend our hebdomedal to (we trust,) the
favorable notice of the Southern public. We devote
ourselves to the work as our profession. On the verge
of manhood, mid of a liberal education, we had a pro
fession to choose; after mature deliberation, we have
chosen this, because we delightin the employment,and
are devoted to the cause for the furtherance of which
the work is established. No common obstacle, there
fore, will turn its aside from onr course. But having
chosen the Editing of the PIONEER, and through it
the promotion of Southern Literature, as the work of
our lives, we shall relinquish ii only with our breath.
And while we commend our sheet to the favor of the
public generally, we commend it particularly to the
kind charities of tfiat band who have linked themselves
together for the advancement of the cause to which we
devote the work. They have acted w ith us in the past;
we trust they will act with us in the future. No exer
tions will be spared to make the work such an one as
they will look upon with delight.
It may be well to add that the intervening time be
tween this date and the day of publication will be spent
in collecting materials for the work.
The PIONEER will be printed on an imperial sheek
in quarto form, and will contain a greater quantity of
reading matter than any work of the kind publishedm
the South.
Terms. —Five Dollars per annum, payable on the is
suing of the first number. Persons sending us ten sub
scribers, inclosing Fifty Dollars, will be entided toaco
py gratis.
SKr Agents will be allowed the usual per centage.
