A Weekly Paper Published in Darien, at g3
per annum,
nr XATH4XIEL M. CAOIDKB.
OUR first year has nearly closed, atul as
yet, we liave never come before the
pui.lie,with a regular Prospectus. Our views
it is'rue, have oeen briefly set firth in the
first number o our paper, out its circulation,
at that early perio/l was of course, very limit
cd, and they could not be very widely dis
seminated. Under these circumstances, in
presenting our Prospectus. it is but right
that we should, iu as few words as practica
ble, reiterate them. Our Country, our State,
am) our Home, have an equal claim, and their
Several and united interests, it shall ever be
our aim to promote.
I ne general politics of our belov ed coun
trv, shall occasionally occupy our columns,
but as Editors, we disclaim all political party
connections. A strict and undeviating neu
trality, shall always characterize our wri
tings, for reasons which are good, anti sub
stantial. Our patrons and friends are found
among those of both parties, and it is ataheir
suggestion, wc consent to pursue tus course,
for the establishment of the paper is desired’
by all, and could not be sustained except hv
uni in of both. Phils then,we are engaged
and to our friends of both parties, to our pa
ti-ons, and to the public—we pledge our best
anil most nm-emitted exertions, to render
ou -s, a useful, entertaining, and interesting
paper.

IT has so long been the custom of persons
announcing their design to establish a
Press, to issue a Prospectus containing the
principjes which they intend to maintain, that
a departure in the present iustance would
hardly be pardoned The people Have un
questionably die rigiis to be informed, what
path we design to travel, and to judge first
of its pr ipriety, and ifterwards if there
“Bhould be a'leviat.on from the same We
would theres ire bnefFty state that our oh
J.ect is ’n advocate and • ipport to the ex'ent
of our ability, the and ‘ctrin*s professed and
practised by the Uu. m Pa ty of oar State,
beheveing them to o. ess- u lat to the pruse
sation ol our exist**.rce as a nation, and the
perpetuation of our happiness as a people,—
These we believe to be generally known and
understood bv the citizens of our State, and
indeed theproperlirnit ofaprospectus would
preclude theirbeingexamined and explained
in detail. We are fully aware that ptufes
sions made and not practised are worse than
f utile It we should be found tergiversating
in our course, we are consequence amendu
Id • • o r patrons and readers, and by them
We are willing to b judged.
Portions of the paper will be devoted to
miscellaneous matter, distinct from political,
embracing that which will be thought most
useful and iiuerresting. I’he Editor pledges
himself to use every exertion to make his pa
per respectable and interesting as lies in Ins
power.

dollars and fifty cents in advance, and three

PROPOSAL.
DjtVtE Tit AN SO KIP f has been published
■-JL one month, tins being the forth num
ber. 1 lose who have read it can judgeof its
character. It has received all the support
we could anticipate for it, both in ;he way of
subscription ami advertising. Indeed, the
latter, which to ns is certainly the must in
teresting part of its contents,” we fear has
already trenched somewhat upon the rights
of the general realer. In a weekly publica
tion it is almost impossible to keep peace
with the current of events, and advertiser
fin lit of little value. We are desirous to
make it of more value to the mercantile
community, without interferring in any im
portant degree with its present general
character. An experience of many years in
the business emboldens us in the belief, that
we cun produce a publication which will de
serve the pjiblic support. A’ any rate, we
are disposed to try die experiment, and
therefore pronose to publish this paper three
times o week, (on the afternoon of Tuesday.
Thursday and Saturday)—commencing ear-
J.Y ,n she next mon*h ■—provided, that we,ob
tain one hundred subscribers at four dollars
pc’- annum. The weekly paper will he con
tinued at the same price, as at present We
shall enlarge whenever our advertising pat
ronage .ruler 111 e new arrangement wjrran‘s
it. To all our present subscribers in Augus
ta and Savannah th“ thrice weekly publica
tion will be sent, unless otherwise instructed
at the publication office in this city, or in Si.

jryi IE success which has attended the pub
yJL licatiou of the Inst Magazines fr-.ni
the English Press, h>s led to preparations
for issuing a periodical more particularly
adapted to the wants and teste of the Anter
ican public—while it will be the object of
the proprietors to make the wotk strictly
wlu 1 its title indicates, it will nevertheless
contain all articles of interest to its patrons
which appear in Foreign Magazines.
Extensive preparations have been enter
ed into, both with artists and authors, to fur
n sh from all parts of'he Union, drawings
and of every subject of interest,
which the publishers confidently believe
wil| enable them to issue a work honorable
to its title, and acceptable to the American
people.
The first number of the American Maga
zine, illustrated with about twenty spendid
engravings, will appear on or before the j
first of September, and be continued month
ly, containing betvveen 40 and 50 imperial
■ictavo pages, and be furnished at the low
price of two dollars per anti util. It will com
prise—
Portraits and 15'iographical Sketches ofdis
tinguished Americans, Views of Public Bud
ding, Monuments and Improvements, Land
scape Scenery—the boundless variety and
beauty which, in this country, will form an
i> messing source ot instruction and gratifi

character, iiabits, &c. of Beasts, Birds, Fish
es and Insects together with every subject
connected with the. Geography, History, Na

OF THIS
MEDICAL & PHYSICAL SCIENCES,
IN .1 ‘ OF THU
“ Georgia .Medical Reporter.’’
BY JOHN G.sL\PPEY, 3.1).
Wtiat weshiull seek in the sciences is truth,
and truth is in the facts.— Broussias.
’St/T PUI than a year has elapsed since we
i*X niblished a Prospectus for the “Geor
gi i nlieal Reporter.” and the work has
no* yet made its appearance.
Without attempting any apology to the
medical public, and others of tile literati who
might have felt an interest in the forthcorn
ing if such a work, we will only say that the
cause of the failure, or delay of its intended
publication, was for want of sufficient pat
ronage to “authorize the undertaking.”
We have, however, determined to make
one more effort, and appeal for the lasttime
to the feeling of an intelligent liberal South
ern community, who, we still confidently be
* ieve, will not stand by indifferently, care
essly and idly, and see the design and en
ernrize languish and die, in its very con
eption and inception, and that, Loo, merely
or the want ofa small patronage.
Political and party newspapers, that are
calculated to inflame the pashions, and dis
tract the mind, are often gotten up in the
day, and are not only handsomely, but are
liberality supported. But now for the first
time, when an attempt is made for the pub
lication of a useful and scientific journal, one
which, we trust, may carry healing underits
wings, and health in its flight—addressing
itself to the real misery of man to his diseases
—lies hushed and slumbers in silence amindst
his almost total unconcernedness.
Remember that Dr. Antony, .-Sngusta; Drs.
Babey-and Lamar Macon; Drs. German, Bov
kin, Fort and White, Milledgeville; Dr. Phil
ips, Powelton, Dr. Gorman, Forsyth, Dr.
Reese, Monticello, Dr. Garrin, Waynesboro’,
Doctor Haynes, Sparty, Dr Hoxey, late of
IvitoTvon, now of Columbus, I)r. Jones, of
Randolph Dr Persons, of Warrenton, late of
Macon, Dr Robertson, Augusta, and many
others if high standing in the profession, are
engaged as contributors in the work. Be
sides, we intend making selections and ex
tracts from the ,Imerican, English and
French Medical and Surgical Journals.
Snrli gentlemen as have not addressed us
already, and as are interested in the more
effectuil execution and speedy commence
ment of the contemplated undertaking, will
please address us at once, at Tarversville,

Che work will be issued from the press,
