The ^ public mind is feverish and irritated still, from re- V rent political strifes:?The soft, nssiiasi?e influence C: jf Literature is needed to allay that fever, and uioihe tli.it irritation. Vice and follv arc rioting 7 ibroad:?They shoulJ be driven by indignant rebuke '( ir lashed by ridicule, into their lilting haunts. Ig- E i iimiicc lords it over an immense proportion of our icople:?Every spring should be set in motion, to ^ irouse the culightenid, and to increase their numier; so that the great enemy of popular government g ay no longer luood, like a portentous cloud, over ;; .lie destinies of our country. And to accomplish all .hoe ends, what moresowcrful agent can be employit I, than a periodical, on the plan of the Mcsscngct; f thut plan be carried out in practice 1 I' Th South peculiarly requires such on agent, in K til the Union, south of Washington, there are l ut cj wo Literary publications! Northward of that city, here arc probably at leastuvcnty livc or thirty! Is his contrast jitsliiicd by the wealth, the l. isure, the p lative talent, or the actual literary taste, of the j'c Southern people, compared with those ot the North- sj rn? No: for in wealth, talents, and taste, we may jstty claim ai icasi an equality wim our nieuuen. ~* ind a domestic institution exclusively our own, borond nil doubt a Herds us, if wc choose, twice the cisure for reading and writing, which they cnoy. It was from a deep sense of this local want, that *lie wed Southern was engrailed 011 the name of litis periodical, and not with any de.-igtt to nourish ; f loc al prejudices, or to advocate supposed local inter-, '1 csts. Far from any such thought, it is the Editor's p] rvent wish to see the North and South bound 111- 1 Jcariiiolv together forever, in the silken bauds of mutual kindness and affection. Far from niedita Ling hostility to the north, tie has already drawn. \v and be hopes hereafter to draw, much ol his choicest matter thence: and happy inde d will be deem himself, should his pages, by making each region know the other belter, contribute in any essential ~ degre e to dispel the lowering clot ds that now threaten the peace of both, and to brighten and strengthen sacred lies of fraternal love. The Southern Literary Messenger lias now f, rraohed the May No of its fourth volame. How far ithas acted out the ideas here uttered, is not for the Edit.irto 6ay. He believes, however, that it 1 fulls not further short of Ilium, than human weak- / ness usually makes Faaclice fall short of Theory. CONDITIONS. w 1.

THE Editor of the Cheraiv Gazette has determined, at the ingestion of the Pee Dee Agricultural Society, to devote more space than formerly to Agriculture, ami I matters pertaining specially to its interests. About nine columns, or a page and u half weekly, will be occupied with this subject, except when it shall be necessary tf> make room for Executive .Messages, and a few other political papers such as every intelligent citizen ought to read. A huge! proportion of what shall appear under the Agricultural head must, of course, be se, ected. But the numerous Agricultural periodicals now* published in this country ; afford abundant and excellent materials for selection; and, after a short time, the reports, and other papers of the Pec Dee Agricultural Society will themselves, form no considerable b > Iv of original matte all of it adapted particularly to this part of the country. And it is hoped, also, that among the numerous intelligent and enterprising planters of the surrounding districts and counties some maybe found who will, occasionally, take the trouble of contributing to the columns of the pa pur uiu result ui uieir 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 proper season, lor cultivating the murus multicaulis and uking silk. The paper will espouse the cause of no parly in politics, but shall contain an im martial summary of political intelligence and, occasionally, able speeches and well written essays (when met with) fairly discussing the principles and measures of all parties. It is believed that 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 for a proper and intelligent discharge of the duties of citizenship, than a whole sheet filled, from weck'to week, ambyear to year, with onesided discussions, and the mere quarrels of editors and politicians,?whilst, at the same time, it will not be calculated to csstrange neighbor from neighbor, or to iiiulcnil inlet ji tinli..}' I lint nilP llltlf of the I country are less patriotic than the oilier, or less ardently attached to our republican institutions. So much of the fourth page as shall no be occupied with standing advertisement j will generally be filled up with matter o moral and religious cast, and articles conducive, in other respects, to proper family instruction and family discipline. I'KOPiSTU J OF THE -'CAROLINA PLANTER. THERE will he published at the Seat of Goverirmiit, as recommended by Agriculluia) 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 < bjeel of the paper will l>e the diffusion of Agricultural knowledge, other topics of general interest in News, Science, Literature, &.c. will not be neglected. The promised aid of 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 acceptable to all. The Carolina Planter will be edited by R. W. Guides, M. D., and published by A. S. Jomxston. every week, at 82 50 per annum. It will be neatly printed, on an imperial sheet in quarto shape. The first numbci will be issued early in January. Columbia, Dec. 4 NEW DRUG STORE. rglUE subscribers inform their friends -* and the public generally, that they have formed a co-partnership under fir/n of ' DELEON & LEVY, in the Drug and Colour business, and are now opening in the store one door north of Murray & Bouncy, a large and general assortment of fresh DRUGS, CHEMICALS, SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS and Family and Patent MEDICINES.

Under the above title, it is proposed to publish in this place in January next, a monthly periodical, to be devoted to Amusement and Instruction, embracing Lit- 7 era lure, the Arts and Sciences, Agricullure, Horticulture, Domestic and Rural Economy, Sporting Intelligence, <fcc. The Literary department will embrace 7 interesting and instructive Tales, Narratives, Advrnturcs, Sketches of Travels, places and persons; Anecdotes, Poetry, Extracts from, and notices of new works. All new discoveries in the Sciences and Arts, as well as interesting papers relating! to cither, will be immediately noticed, and " n'ltnn r?f cil I'll til itllprnel will hp trans. -\ " ,,U,J -j ferred to our columns; or such extracts given as will furnish full information to our readers. In the Agsicultural department, special attention will be paid to the great interests of the South. From our Planters, we will endeavor to obtain much practical and useful information which now lies buried and known but to themselves*. In order that we may the more fully artd effectually carry out this part of our plan, we propose to make frequent excursions into the different sections, not only of this, but also-of the adioinin? States, for the purpose - of personally inspecting anil reporting on all the various operations which may be j carried on, 011 the plantation we may visit. By persuing this plan steadily, (as we hope to do) much highly useful information will he obtained, which cannot fail to be of immense service to the Agricultural community, inasmuch as our planters will thus become acquainted with the practices of other sections of the country, and may . ( from time to time adopt such as may promise a greater recompence, than those, ,1 they may at the time follow. Nor shall we confine ourselves to practical information only, hut from the rich stores of knowlodirn it'lnolt urn 1a Kn fitmwl am/ihir OI1P ivug*; ? iuv/H ui v ku uv iwunu umwu^ ??%? (..j planters, we hope to draw much which will prove useful and interesting. Horticulture will also claim onr atten- "1 tion, and we will endeavor to raise it froin the low estate in which it now exists amnng us to one more worthy of it* We will accordingly give not only practical directions, for the cultivation of fruits, I Flowers and Vegetables, but entering into tne scientific department, we will publish whatever we may find interesting.? Descriptions of new fruits, flowers and vegetables, as well as their culture, u ill be given from time to lime. The forcing | department, which is but little attended to, - in the South, embracing the formation hnil ^ ding ard management of hot beds, conservatories and hot houses will also be attended to. Dornostic and Rural Economy will not be neglected, but whatever we can find likely to promote either, will be given in our columns. Sporting Intelligence, Anecdotes. On Dits, and various miscellaneous matters? which cannot well hp classed, Mill swell our pages, and add interest to our periodical. In furtherance of our object, we will do all in onr power to render this periodical highly interesting and instructive, and one which shall be welcomed by every member of such families as may patonise it.? To effect this, while tve hope to contribute our share to the Original Literature 3 of the day, as well as! to add considerably to the stock of Agricultural information, yet we will freely draw from the sources open to lis, in the numerous daily, weekly monthly and quarterly publications, which embracing every subject, abound not only in America, but also in Euiope, and from these we will select only such articles as may prove highly interesting or instructive. The sources udiich are open to us in each department are ample, and we trust we shall be able to render the Southern Compendium a highly acceptable visi-. ter wherever known. Political and religious discussions will be excluded, and while we have our preference to both, yet we will not admit of any thing which may be likely to wound the feelings of our readers. > We have thus sketched the plan of our periodical, and respectfully solicit for it support, both by subscriptions and contributions. Terms?The Southern Compendium will be published on the 15th of ach month, in octavo form of G4 pages, at 85 per annum payable in advance. A .TOHIV TV T.F.OAPR ? Charleston, Dec. 1839. NOTICE.
