PROSPECTUS 'or tsi UTERARY BVLLETKlf. Charleston, 5. C. IE offering to the patconago of the public, a now literary paper, wo are perfectly aware th\t wo are bat repeating an ol\*lried experiment. The result, however, wo would fain believe, will be dill'. rent. Wo are, it is true, eoneeioua of tho. pj?e -sion of no talent or ability superior to that of our pre licensors, but we rob, (perhaps, indeedv with too rauoh of the ardor of all experiment*,) upon tUc increaeiug taste of the ago of literatme ; a taste, the vitlence of which is before us in the number of periodicals, engaged solely in its cultivation?itf the lyeeuios, the libraries and academies .leveled to science and learning. Whilst the North and the West are thus asstdiously employed in the excin piary task of mentul improvement, we will not suppose that tho South intends longer to bear the weight of that heavy incuinbns which heretofore has dheluied it in an intellectual slumber more lasting and nrofomid th 11VI lltftV tiKuntitnl nnn urhi.lk erewhile enwrapped the so von sleepers of Ephesus. It is with & hope thus founded, and with an in tenlion if wo cannot win success, at least to deserve it; that notwithstanding the uniform failuro of those who have preceded us. nto have ventured to claim the patronage and to labor for the applause of the public. The stake shall be played for; how the game is to end, time only can determine. Our object will be to render the columns of the Bulletin both nsehal and amusing. For this pur. pose, while one portion is devoted to original EssayV Tales and Plpems, furnished from time to time by our correspondents and collaborators, another portion shall be occupied by selected matter culled from every spot of interest and instruction, in the va?t field of literaturo. Tho productions of the press shall pass in leview before us, and on every work which merits our notice, an impartial criticism shall be bestowed.? To light literature and to learned sciencv shad alike l*e meted their due portion of censure or of praise, and it shall not be our faults if our patrons do not know the intrinsic value of every hook, (ut least iu onr own opinion) before they begin to read. He, gays Or. Franklin, who is good at excuses, is seldom good at any thing else; and the same wc opine may be said of promises; lest there lore our readeis come to w>ra? such conclusion as ibif! we will, without further ado, make our bow, and leave theui in future to judge from our lubors whether we do, or do not, deserve their patronage.

(ublisher is in the highest iogrce anxious to please, t will continuo.lo he a subject of more than usnul care to him, and to the Professor under whose supervision it is placed, to make that portion of the magazine allotted to music, more than ever doscr?ing of the countenance of every lover of music. It has ' ever been and will continue to be the desire to have I all pieces of music printed correctly and free from 1 errors. THE WORK IN GENERAL. Over every department an equally careful super- I vision will be strictly exercised by the Editors, and ' all appropriate expenditures will lie liberally bestowed i as it is the design ofthe publisher, with the aid of his contributors and tho advice of his friends to make I the Lidh s' Companion distinguished for the beauty ' and accuracy of its typography?the variety and high tone of its literary articles?the quality and ' value of its music.?and tho unequalled splendor of its pictorial cmbelishments. It is the deter inalion of the publisher to use eve- i ry means to maintain the superiority which the Ladies' Companion has obtained. For four years he j i has steadily pursued a course ot improvement, and he flatters himself that his present facilities are such \ as to give the Ladies' Companion eminent advantages overall other publications of its character. From the foregoing it will be perceived that the Ladies' Companion embraces every department within the range of Bellcs Lcttrcs and the Fino Arts; and no exertions or cx|>ensc will be deemed too great to render the work equal to any other extant. The flattering and gencVal testimonials of nearly every conteinparary journal in the United States, and in fact, many on the other side of Che Atlantic, have strongly asserted the Undeniable claims of the Ladies' (Jompanion to the support of the public generally. There is no work that gives its readers such a great return for their subscriptimi. Tho l'rize Articles will all be published during the 1 year. These articles will comprise the successful candidates for the premiums of one thousand dollars awarded by a committee of literary gentlemen in August last.

Tbey can be made to contain from 90 to ltiOaawa in a aland, and whether mall or large, one hand will be sufficient to attend Iberu. The Gin* have mechanical feeders ahd hoppers attached to them, which free the cotton Iroui leaves, trash, dirt, &c. before it can reach the awa, and by the thorough hackling operation it reoeivee froiu the feeders, which make two revo lull tins to one ot the saws, U la almost in a lialt gined state, before it descenda to the saw By a very sirhple arrangement of a screw to each set ot gaates, on which the hoopers rest, and through which the teeth of the .feeders pasa, they can be made to ieed alow or faat to auit the condition of the cotton at the time. When made double, the a&wa are placed on twb aets of oylindora and turn upon each other in opposite directions, and are cleansed by two seta of brushes that have four revo* lutions to one of twe saw. The two cylinders can be detached so as to enable the planter to run one or both at pleasure, although embraced with feeders, &c. in one stand. The whole is put in operation with a drum and band, n* in the ordinary Gin, and may be propelled by horse, steam, or water power. It may also be propelled by iron running gear. The torce required to work it, is about the same as that necessary to move an equal number of aawsin the common Gin. This Gin has been put in operation in New Orleans for two or three weeks, and its success tested in the presence of a large number of planters, merchants aud others, and received their general approbation Several gmileiiv n have been so kind as to give the Patentee their written opinion respecting the 1 merits of the Gin.

'h Dick, 5 Flattcrci was now purchased for Mr. Wndsworth ipd shipped for America. After an utiusnally -long passage, during which he never laid down, he was landed at New York, the latter part of July, 1836, was put in training without the possibility of preparation, but, notwithstanding, ran two very creditable races, one of which, mile heals, he wen,*, beating two Eclipse colts and (i filly by the same horse. In tho following spring, he was beaten by Mingo, three milo heats, running second to him, and beating Cadmus,, by Ecli pfo, Sydney, by Sir Charles, and tho Jewess, by Henry, in tho first heat, when he was drawn. Ol this race the ftcw York Spirit of the Times contained the following account: "Cadmus had the pole, Mingo the out side. They got away in a cluster, the Jewess making 'a spurt'between the stand and first gate that quite used her up, w hen Cadmus and Flatterer took up the runuing, Mingo and Sidney lying well up, the first under a hard pull. Finding Cadmus disliked the pace, Willis held him up after the second mile and Mingo headed the field with ease. Flatterer maintained his stride to the end, running n very handsome second to Mingo, who, for a eingle'lhrce miles can pull to the fastest horce in the country, and come home ahead. Cadmus could not run* in ll c mud?and his friends did not expect much from him, though he ran Sid the next heat, Flatterer having lucn withdrawn after a very creditable performance. Snnford rode him in tip top style, and had he carried lGblb. would have flung the mud in the face of the best of them." Flatterer did not start in the fall nor succeeding spring. He was purchased by W. L. Corbin Esq. of Va. and placed in the stable of J. S. Corbin, Esq. of Fniiheld, who furnishes the annexed account of his promise:?"In regard to the promise Flatterer ga\e, while in training by n o, of making a good race-horse, I can with sincerity, and 1 think, truth, snv that it was decidedly flattering. In his mile (rial he beat "Whig" (a very fast horee) several lengths, and exhibited very ?ccd symptoms ut "the finish"of an ability to run a long distance successively. 1 witnessed a race on Long Island, lost spring twelve months, between him and several other very sharp nags, two mile lunts, in which Flatterer was a goon dual ovci "the foot of any of thorn.

Flatterer is yet untrained as a stallion?but as II his slock in this country have established a high jputation as cure foul getters, it is expected ho 'ill maintain it. The undersigned repeats the nsmianrc that the Lriclcst and most careful attention will be paid to lares sent to Flatterer, and pledges himself to dcver them in good order and condition when taken way.
