New Weekly Paper in Charles
toil.
P ROSPECTUS OF THE CHARLES
TON MIRROR-A WEEKLY JOURNAL,
devoted to the advancement of the Temperance
Cause and General Literature, to be published
in this city as soon a. ai sufficient number of
subscribers shall be obtained.
The subscriber. proposes (should a sufficient
number of names be obtained to warrant the
undertaking,) to establish in this city, a Weekly
Paper, devoted to the cause or Temperance,
Agriculture and General Literature.
,in a large and populous city like outs, em
bracing so large a field ol' Temperance ope
rates with three or four flourishing societies
devoted exclusively to the advancement I
the cause,it would scurcely seem unreasonable
to presume. that, with proper effort, a sufficient
proportion of patronage might be secured, to
warrant the pernianent estabhstiment of a iews
paper which would sei ve as an organ ol the
views and sentiments of the temperabce com
munity, as well as a repository of select mis
cellany for the entertainment of the -general
reader.
IWith the exception of the religious press, we
have nota single weekly paper in Charleston,
while in ntny of our northern cities, they are
not only ins.iumerable, but well supported.
Surely, then, we can sustain one!
It is proposed to dedicate a portion of its col
unins, to tte publication of commercial and
othet intel'igence. Etmbracing such of the cur
rent news of the day, as may be afforded by
originat contributuis and approptiate selec.
tions. The literaty columns will comprise a
series of essays, tales, sketches, &c., a portion
of which will be written expressly for the Al ir
ror. The editor has already secured the aid
of a number of zealous and active members of
the Charleston Total Abstmence Society, who
will contribute freqLently to its pages; as well
as that of %everal of our most popu or writers
by whose valuable co-operation, ite.has hereto
fore been enabled to contribute to the entertain
ment of the reading cobimunity
The rate ofatnnual subscription will be fixed
at two dollars. Those who may prefer to sub
scribe for a shorter period will be furnished at
twenty-five cents- per month. Advertisuments
will be inserted at twenty-five cents per square
of twelve lines.
The paper will correspond in size to the
other Charleston weeklies. The mechanical
execution will be regulated so as to give per
feet satisfaction.

Many of them eleganit, and illustrative of
New inventions, Scieutigc Principles, and

This paper is essenially entitled to the
patronage of Mechanics and Manufactur
ers, being the only paper in America de
voted to the interests of those classes,; but
is particularly useful to farmers, as it will
not only apprise them of improvements in
agriculiural implements, but instract them
in various mechanical trades, and guard
them against impositions. As a family
newspaper, it will convey more useful in
telligence to cmildren atnd young 'people,
than five times its cost in school instruction.
Anoth~r important argument in favor of
this paper. is that it wiill be worth i wo dol
lars at the end of the year, when the
volume is complete, (Old volumes of the
New York Mechanic, being now worth
double the original cost, in cash.)
Terms-The "Scientific American" will
be furnished to subscribers at $2.00 per
annum-one dollar in advance, and the
balance in six months.
Five copies will he sent to one address
six months, for four dollars in advance.

RANDRETH'S PILLS by cleansing
the Blood fron all impurities, gives
power to every organ to perform its functions
healthily ; no matter whether externally or in
ternally situated. Nature has formed the bow
als for the evacnation of all unhealthy hmors
of the blood, and if mani would use but comn
muon sense, lie would take cars that they per.
formed this office faithfully. If the bowels are
oui of order, if too slow, or too fast, a few do
sesof BRAIEDRETII's PILLrs willbring
them to order. Ask the man 'who was dying
from constipated bowels what cured him; he
tells you Brandrethr's Pills. -Ask him who has
had the dysenlary for six- months,' andi everr
remedy had -faied;-he tells you, Bransdrcth s
Pills curadhim in a week.. So wvith other dis
eases. - Tw &Brandreth's Pills rubbed down
in half piint of maolasse,cured a little boy of
an ulcer ofthe face which was rapidly spreading
to his eyes. anid which a dozen inoctous had tried
'to cure, but could not; the poor parenta would'
have given half they wvere worth to have had it
cured, but eveiy thing they tried did no good,
tunitil they gave at a tea sploonful of molasses ev
ery day, in half a pint of which they hadrubbed
down twelve Brandreth's Pills; before the
whole of the molasses was takeni the ulcer was
cured. And yet-sine foolish-pseople call Bran
dreth's Pills a quack medIcine. It would be
well if there were a few more such quack med
icines. Will all your piretended sarsaparilla
Compounds, or Lozengcs, or Salv'ea, cure like
the Biandreth's Pills? Can they sietid you to
persons cured as Dr. Brandreth can? Can
they ioint oat to you people who had beena
helpless for years from Epnilepsiy and St. Vitus'
Dance, who have been ctured by their reme
dies ? ,f they cannot, Dr,. Brandreth can.
Can they point outt to you a person who ior
twenty years had r.ever-'had a stool withomi
having used mnedician, or mnechainical mesans,
and whom the Branadresth's Pills cured in a
month, and gave him as healthy evacuationi
as he had when he was'-a-child ?

:. The nortera papers are teeming with
accounts of otcrimes of profligacy. and
crimes of blood. Everf- year senii but
to add to the black eatalogue, indicating,
most clearly, that in the great rach of
mind, aud of improvements in :the 'ess
good morals, well ordered govern'ments,
and social elevation. take no part a the
upward impulse. Iu government there i
a-strong proclivity to lynch law and iob
ocracy. For proof, behold the anti rent
disturbances. of Delaware, Sullivan and
other counties in - New. York, and : the
bloody.outrages that have marked them.
Behold the police accounts of robbery and
murder which bra of daily occurrence not
only in cities, bUt on high-ways and bye
ways, stimulated chiefly by the most sor
did of all passions or goaded on~ by gaunt
starvation.
The details-of profligate vices and- of
frauds, resulting in the ruin"of families,
and. often in self-destruction : the dedrav
ity of morals and the prevalence of crime
at- the north, are fruitful of sober reflectio
to the ..mind, contrasting this state "of
things with that'Prevailing in the section
of country.in whicn providence has csi
our lot.- The comparison cannot be
made without resulting in a feeling', of
cougratulation on our part, for the many
advantages we enjoy.. We may idiiinjy
the same prosperity in a pecuniary-viewv.
we have not. as many avenues of wealth,
as vasi resources for enterprise, and as
various inducements for* profitable em
ployments of capital, the same appl i'cet
of physical luxury, and fo'r. intelfesial
recreation. But in the esseatialfelrents
of security from' outrages, and peacef0l
enjoyment of our progerty'and our rights;
in. the previilence of intetita[ irinuility,
and'regard for theilaws,' and the moral
restraint of social' life, our conditioi ii far
graferable. We have not amougst us the
untagonism of labor to capital, of num,
bers and. physical force to wealth, which
is so. strikingly exhibiting itself in the
norrh, and is yet destined to c6nvulse -
ciety to.its ceutre..
To what'extent this may b attribni~d.
to the institution ef slavery as~it existtin
t.wildand.- paiarhatorns 9mo1g000
it may be interesting to the inquirer.
That tn this regard, it exercises a mate
rial and salutary influence, sannot be de
nied.- Or labori,;g population have -no
evils of a physical nature to endounter
ny physilal wrongs, real or .fanciful to re
drese. They are clil ed,' (ed and nursed
in infancy, and aye, in' sickness and infir
mity They are content with' their lot
They aspire not at the expense of others
and ofjustice and right to change it. We
have no mobs-no agrarianism-no or
ganizett bands of pick-pockets, of burglers,
and of assassins.
This exemption is not temporary or a'.
cidental. It arrises from ibe nature of
our social system, and is productive of a
sense of security, which is not so com
pletely enjoyed in those communities
where we and our institutionsare most vi
olently abused. This comparisou is not
made in any invidious spirit, nor to sus
tain the theory that under any and all cir
cumstances, slavery is an institutfon, ben
efictal and desirous' to a cuntry. That
it has its advantages and those of a very
hign order, is unquestioriable as tue truths
of history. But these reflections are at
times useful, to r3concile us to our lot, and
to attach us more strongly to the soil of
our nativity.-Geoigia Constitutionalist.
Great Counterfeiting tabtishment
Broken Up-One of the most extensive
counterfeiting establishments in the coun
try has been discovered and broken up near
Stanford, Ky. It appears that a man
named G- Wt. Robinson, of Kentucky,
was lately arrested at Columbus, Ga.,
for passing counterfeit money, and that
soon after he was taken dangerouisly ill,
which induced him to' make a full con
fession, disclosing die fact that two broth
era, named John and-William Banton, on
'their farm nienr.dtanford, Ky., a large es
'tablisliment for the-manutfacture of coun
terfeit notes and coin, constantly in opera
tion, and that he and many others, in va
rious sections of the Union, whose names
lie also disclosed, were employed as agent.
for its-disposal. iMr. Ayer, a merchant of
Columbus.. -immediately proceeded --to
Stanford,-and aidedl by the Sheriff 'and a
number of citizens, arrested the twvo Ban
tons. On searching- their establishment
they found a number of presses, (one of
which will weigh 5000 lbs.;) stamps, dyes,
crucibles, metals, and every other article
necessary for counterfeitingi, all of which
were taken in charge by the' Sherif;-~ and
the offenders' committed for trial- The
father of these two young men hadioften
'tben suspected of carrying on'this busi
tness, and had .ince or twice been arrested,
but through his wealth always managed
to escape punishmenti He had finally, a
few years ago- to leavie the State &and flee
to Texas, where he now resides.
