This is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly to Literature, but occasionally finding rooin also for articles tliat fall within the scope of Science; and not professi g an entire disdain ol tastef'ul selections, though its malier has been, as it will continue to be, in the main, original, r Psirlo nnlilifK nrifl rnntrnvor^ia! TIlPoIocv. 3S far as possible, arc jealously excluded. Tliey are somoliins so idone'ed with discussions in literature or in moial scicnco, otherwise unobjectionable, as to gain admittance foi the sake of the more valuable matter to which they adhere, hut whenever that I happens, they are incidental, only; not primary.? I They are dross, tolerated only because it cannot i well lie severed from tire stcrlidg ore \\ herewith it is ncorporated. Reviews, and Critical Notices, occupy tlinir due spree in the woik: and it is the Editor's aiin tlni | they should have a threefold tendency?to convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths or inter- j csting incidents as are embodied in the works re j viewed,?to direct the leader's attention to books ! that deserve to he read,?and to warn him against j i wasting time and money upon that large number, j I which merit only to be burned. In this age, of pub J lications that by their variety and multitude, distract and overwhelm every undjscri ioating student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, it is one of the most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to him who docs wish to discriminate. Essays, and Tales, having in view utility or a: Miso in nt, or both ? JJi-loric.d Sketches?and Reminiscences of events too minute for Hi?tory,yet elucid ding it, ami heightening its interest,?may be regarded as firming the staple of the woik And of indigenous Poetry, enough is published?sometimes of n > mean strain?to manifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talents of our country. The limes appear, for several reasons, to demand such a work?and not one alone, but many. The 1 pablic mind is icverish and irritate.I still, from recent political strifes:?The soft, nssuasbe ihtlu .-iicc of Literature is needed to allay that fever, and. soothe th t irr.taiiun. Vice anJ foilv are rioting J abro nl:?They should he driven by indignant rclmke i or I :> / fiu'uuic, nnu men iimu- ?iuu?. jsno: nee I ud.s it ov. r an iiumrn>c propoilion of our pro, I.:?livery spring should he set in motion, to arous the ei lightem d. and toincre. se tlieir number; so Hi it ,lie groat enemy ol popular government i, ay no longer luood, like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of our country. And to accainpiUh nil thc-e ends, what more sowerAil agent can heen: ployed, than a periodical, on the plan ol the Aicssengel; if that plan lie carried out in practice? Th South peculiarly irrpihes such an agent. In all the Union, south ol Washington, there ura but two Literary ^publications! Northward ol that city, there are probably at le.ist twenty live or thirty! is this contrast justified by the wealth, the l. isure, the naiive talent, or the actual literary taste, of the Southern people, compared with those ol the Northern J No: for in wealth, 'aleiits, and taste, we may ustly claim at least nil equality with our brethren, and a domestic institution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt a Holds us, if we choose, twice the ' -sure for reading and writing, which they enJ?J It was from n deep sense of this local want, that the wed Southern was engrailed on the name ol this periodical., and not with any design to nourish loc al prejudices, or to advocate supposed local interests. Far from any such thought, it is the Editor's ?.;^i. ti,f. Vnrlh a rut Southbound en dearinglv together forever, in tlir silken bands of | inuii iil kiudiiccs and affection. Far from incdila till"j hostility to the north, lie lias already drawn a ,d lie hopes liereal'er to draw, much of life choicest m. tler llience: and happy inde d will he deem himself, should his pages, by making each region know the otiier better, contrihule in any essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds thai now threaten the pence of belli, and to brighten and strengthen sacred ties ol I'rati mnl love. The Southern Litciary Messenger lias now naohed the May No of its fourth volatile. Uow far ilhas acted out t.'ie ideas jjm-e uttered, is not for the Lditor to 6<iy. lie bt-ljf|i?fc. however, that it falls not further short of thsm, than human weakness usually makes l'jaclicc fall short of Theory.

GEIUL-Pr j December 7. ^ /* rROSPECTUsf225 OF TnE FARMERS GAZETTE, AND CHERAW ADVERTISER. THE Editor of the Cheraw Gazette has determined, at the uggestion of the Pee Dee Agricultural Society, to devote more space ih.m formerly to Agriculture, and matters pertaining specially to its interests. About nine columns, or a page and a half weekly, will be occupied wilh this subject, except when it shall be necessary to make room fur Executive Messages, and a few other political papers such as every intelligent citizen ought to read. A largo proportion of what shall appear under the Agricultural head must, of course, be seeded. But the numerous Agricultural periodicals now published in this country allbrd abundant anJ excellent materials for selection; and, after a short timp, the reports, and other papers of the Pec Dee Agricultural Society will themselves, form no considerable body of original matter, all of it adapted particularly to this part of the country. And it is hoped, also, that among the numerous intelligent and cnterprisii g planters of the surrounding districts and counties some may be found who will, occasionally, take the trouble of contributing to the columns of the paper the result ol their experience. Among the subjects which will engage the Editor's attention the culture of silk shall not be overlooked. Ample instructions will be given, in their pn per season, for cultivating the morus multicaulis and aking silk. ! J lie paper win espouse me cause ui no parly in politics, but shall contain an im martial summary of pulitical intelligence and, occasionally, able speeches and well written essays (when met with) fairly discussing the principles and measures of ail parties. It is believed thai a comparatively small space devoted to political subjects in this way may be made more profitable to the Farmer of domestic habits, who wishes to be acquainted with the true state of the country and qualified lor a proper and intelligent discharge of the duties of citizenship, than a whole sheet filled, from week to week, and year to year, wi'h onesided discussions, ami the mere quarrels of editors and politicians,?whilst, at the same time, it will not be calculated to esstrange neighbor from neighbor, or to mislead into a belief that one half of the country arc less patriotic than the other, cr less ardcnlSy attached to our republican institutions. much of the fourth page as shall no , be occupied with standing advertisement ! will generally be tilled up with mutter o nigral and religious cast, and articles conducive, in other respects, to proper family instruction and family discipline. FROSPECWS OF Tin: THERE will be published at the Scat of Govennent, as recommended by Agricultural Convention, a paper devoted to the ; interests of the planter. It is thought proper that there should be, at the centre of the State, a publication suited to the awakened spirit of enquiry, on this great subject. While the main object of the paper will be the diffusion of Agricultural knowledge, I other topics of general interest in News, j Science, Literature, &c. will not be neglected. The promised aid ol' many of our most distinguished men, will contribute to its interest and usefulness Politics will be excluded, that the labors of the Editor may be acceptab* to all. The Carolina Planter will be edited by R. \V. ((iRRGS, M. 1)., and published by V. S. Johnston, every week, at 62 50 per annum. 1,1 will be neatly printed, on an imperial sheet in quarto shape. The first numbci will be issued early in January. Columbia, Djc. 4 Direct Importations. lEsss'lisfe Plains, Blankets, &c.
