Sketches of Travels,
jdiicr-s and persons; Anecdotes, Poetry,

to either, will be immediately noticed, and

given as will furnish full information to
our readers.
In the Agsicultural department, special
attention will be paid to the "real interests
of the South. pre in our Planters, we will
endeavor to obtain much practical and
useful information which now lies buried
and known but to tlnm-clves. In order
that wcs may the more fully and effectually
carry out this par; of our plan, we propose
to make frequent excursions into the
different section :, n t only of this, but also
of the adjoining states, fur the purpose
of personally inspecting and reporting on
all the various operations which nun be
carried on, on tie pl,.n;aii'U we may visit.

community, inasmuch as our planters will
thus become acquainted with the practices
of oilier sections of the country, and may
from time to time adopt stuit as may promise
a greater rccompence, than those,
they may at the time follow. Nor shall
we confine ourselves to practical informs

which are t<> be found among our
planters, we hope to draw touch which
will prove useful ami interesting.
Horticulture will also claim onr ttention,
and we will cmleavorlo raise it from
the low estate in w.hiclt it now exists among
us to one more worthy of if We
will accordingly give not only practical
directions, for the cultivation of fruits,
Flowers and Vegetables, but entering into
the scientific department, we will publish.
whatever we may find interesting.?
Descriptions of new veils, lluwcrs and
vegetables, a -- . i i! a> lis, ir culture, will be
given from linn* to time. The farcing
department, wlsi *ii is but little attended to,
in the South, embracing the formation buil

to.

embracing every subject, abound not only

Compendium a highly acceptable visi- I

Political and religious discussions will '
be excluded, and while we have our pre- '
fere nee to both, yet wc will not admit of

T. W. White, respectfully][informs the
patrons of the "Southern Literary Messengerand
the public generally, thai
the issue of the next No. of that periodical
is necessarily delayed beyond the usual
time of publication. The recent holidays,
and a damage which has occurred
to the press on which the Messenger is
struck off, have retarded the business ol
his office. He would further mention, thai
the publishing of an important essay upon
the 4i Rights of the Slave-holding States,
and the owners of slave property, under
the Constitution of the United Stales,"
from the pen of Conway Robinson, Esq.,
Df this city, has also postponed the appearance
of the Messenger, lie believes,
however, that the value and interest ol
this paper will fully atone for the delay.
Being anxious to present the whole essay
it the same time to the public, and aware
h;.t ;he issue of his periodical would be
late for the month of January, he has concluded
to publish the January and Fcbruiry
numbers together. !!is patrons will,
Jicrcforc, receive a doable number, or
he numbers for two months under one co.'rr.
The publisher flutters himself, that
join in i \ pngrnpjiicai ami uier iry exccience,
the two coining 11 umbers will equal,
I' not exceed, any that lie lias ever given
o the public. Besides the important esuy
already mentioned, and whioli possess*
s such a peculiar interest at the present
in?c, they will contain u notice of the rccnt
attack upon Dr. Channing iu the
t'diuburg Review, from the pen of a Balimorean.
A second paper upon the
Smithsonian Institute, San Marino, from
he pen of if. T. Tuckerivnn, Esq.; The
Vortliics of Virginia; Gleanings from
t'ew-Englnnd History; Eights of Autliors;
Ioral and Mental Portraits, No. 1., bong
a notice of William Cullen Bryant;

He trusts, that this will furnish a sutisictory
apology for his delay; and that

kindly bestowed upon it.
