# m\ PROSPECTUS OF TUB LITERARY BVLLETHT. ' Charleston, S. C. IN offering to the patronago of the public, a new literary paper, we are perfectly aware that we are but repeating an oft-tried experiment. The result, however, we would fain believe, will be different. We are, it is true, oonsciourf of the possession of no talent or ability superior to that ef our predecessors, but wo rely, (perhaps, indeed, witu too much of the ardor of all experiments,) upon the increasing taste of the age of literature ; a taste, the evidence of which is before us in the number of periodicals, engaged solely in its cultivation?in the lyceuins, llie libraries unci acximiM uevotea 10 science and learning* Whilst the North and the West are thus assidiously employed in the exctnplary task of mental improvement, we will not suppose that tho South intends loafer to bear the weight of that heavy incumbus which heretofore has whelmed it in an intellectual slumber more lasting and profound than that physical one whioh erowhtle enwrapped the seven sleepers of i?phesus. It is wrth a hope thus founded, and with an intention if wo cannot win success, at least to deserve it; that notwithstanding the uniform failure of those who have preceded us, we Save ventured to claim the patronage and to labor Tor tho applause of the I public. Tho stako shall be played for; how the g&ine is to end, time only can determine. Our object will be to render the columns of the Bulletin both useful ajkl amusing. For this purpose, while one oortioh is devoted to original Essays, Tales and Poepis, furnished from time to time by our correspondents and collaborators, another portion shall be occupied by selected matter culled tVom every spot of interest and instruction, in the vast Geld of liternluro. The 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 soience shalt alike be meted their due portion of censure or of praise, and it shall not be our faults if our patrons do not know the intrinsic valuo of every book, (at least in onr own opinion) before they begin to read. He, says Dr. Franklin, who is good at excuses, is seldom good at any thing else; and the same we opino may be said of promises; lest therefore our readers come to some such conclusion as this, we will, without further ado, make our bow, and leave them in future to judge from our labors whether we do, or do not, deserve their patronage.

At the commencement of the volume an ad- ! ilitional number Of copieb were printed, which was J considered at the time adequate to satisfy all the j orders which .night be received, and leave a consi- : derahlo numhe on liand for subsequent calls. The : publisher is more than gruiilied iu elating that the i whole edition was nearly exhausted before the issuing of iho seventh number of the volume; and at this time but very lew complete sets remain on' hand, to supply the numerous orders which are doily received from every section of the U. S. In consequence of this great unforseen increase of new subscribers, he has determined to double the number of impressions for the subsequent year; while he most gratefully appreciates the unprecedented encouragement extended to the Ladies' Companion, und at th* same time, ho bogs to assure the readers of tho magazino and the public in general, that it is his ardent resolution to meet it with a correspondigg liberality on his part to merit its continunnco. > i 8PLENDID STEEL ENGRAVINGS by our best'aitisls, ccouipany etch numncr?illustiatcd by Tales ar?d spirited Sketches?which will, us heretofore, continue to Iks magnificent and fur superior to those published in any other magazine in Amciica. The Ladies' Companion contains a larger quantity of reading than any other magazine issued iu this country, and its subscription price isonly three dollars a year, while the great combination of talent secured for the coming year will render it unequal led by any other periodical. ITS LITERARY CHARACTER !

It will continue to l?e a subject of tore than usual care to him, and to the Professor under whose supervision it is placed, to make that portion of the magazine al otted to music, more than ever doscr?ing of the countenance of every lover of music, it has 1 ever ho en and will continue to be the desire to have 1 all pieces of music printed correctly and free front ' errors. THE WORK IN GENER AL. Over every department an equaily careful super- . vision will lie str'ctly exercised hy the Editors, and ' all appropriate expenditures will he liberally bestowed < as it is the design of the publisher, with the aid of hi* contributors and the advice of his friends to make ' the Ladies' Companion distinguished for the beauty ' and accuracy of its typography?the variety and ' hioh tone of its literary articles?the quality and ' value of its music?ami the unequalled splendor of iim pictorial ciniM iisnnicnts. It is the determination of the publisher to use eve- ' ry menus to maintain the superiority which the La- I dies' Companion has obtained. For four years he < has steadily pursued a course ot improvement, and < he flitters himself that his present facilities arc such ' as to give the Ladies' Companion eminent advantages 1 over all other publications of its character. From the foregoing it will bo perceived that the ] Ladies' Companion embraces every department with- < in the range of Belles-Lett res and the Fine Arts; 1 and no exertions or expense will lie deemed too great t to render the work equal to any other extant. The i flattering and general testimonials of nearly every contemparary journal in the United States, and in j fact, many on the other side of the Atlantic, hava-4 strongly asserted the Undeniable claims of the La- 1 dies' Companion to the support of the public generally. There is no work that gives its readers such a great return for their subscripti in. The Prize Articles will all be published during the j year.

The whole is put in operation with a drum and band, as in the ordinary Gin, and tnay be propelled by horse, steam, or water power. It may also be propelled by iron running gear. The force required to work it, is about the same as that necessary to move nn equal number of saws in 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 largo number of planters, merchants and others, and received their general approbation Several gentlemen have been so kind as to give the Patentee their written opipiun icspecting the merits of the Gin.

The mere fact of its self-feeding, seems to me to be a very valuable improvement; and besides, the qu.ility of the cotton, as it comes out of the process appeared to me to be better and cleaner than from the common Gins in use, and that it saves cons derably in labor.

FLATTERER was got by Mulcy (son of Orville and the famous marc Elcanour) and is, therefore, half brother of tho celebrated imported Levinthen, of Tennessee, and of imported Margrave, winner of tho Doncaster St. Lcger in 183*2; his dam Clare, bred by Lord Egrcmont in 183-1, was got by Marmion, grandam Harpalice, by Oohannn, g gran dam Amazon by Driver?Fractious by Mercury?

After an unusnully 'kng passsge, owing which ho never laid down, he wan landed al N?w York, the latter part of July, 1836, , was pnt in training without the possibility of prepaI ration, but, notwithstanding, tan two very creuitablo races, ono of vrbicb, mile heats, he won, beating two Eclipse colts and a filly by the same horse. In the -following spring, be was beaten by Mingo, three mile heats, running second to him, and beating Codmus, by Eclipse, Sydney,.by Sir Charles, and the Jewess, by Ilcnry, in the tin* heat, w hen ho was drawn. j Oi this race the New York Spirit of tho Times contained tho following account: "Cndmcs had i the polo, Mingo the out side. They got away in a cluster, the Jewess making (a spurt' between the | stand and first gato that.qu.te used lier up, when j Cadmus and Flatterer took up (he running, Mingo and Sidney lying well up, the first under a hard pull. Finding Cadmus disliked tho pace, Willis held lum up after the second mile and Mingo headed the field with ease. Flatterer maintained his stride to the end, running a very handsome second to Mingo, who, for a single three miles j can pull to the fustest horse in the country, ond come home ahead. Cndmus could not run in the mud?and his friends did not expect rniuh from ; him, though he ran 2d the next heat, Flatterer ' having been withdrawn after n very creditable I performance. Sanford rode him in tip top style, and had he carried 1661b. would have flung the mud in the fare of the best of them." Flatterer did not start in the fall not succeeding spring. lie was purchased by \V. L. Coibin Esq. of Va. and placed in the stable of J. S. Corbin, j E*q. of Fairhcld, who furnishes the annexed nc! count of his promise:?"In regard to the promise j Flatterer gave, w hile in training by n e, of making a good race-horse, I can with sincerity, ond 1 think, truth, say that it was decidedly fettering. In his mile trial he beat "Whig" (a very fast horse) several lengths, and exhibited very peed symptoms at "the flnish"ct an ability to run a long distance successively. 1 witnessed a race cn Long Island, last spring twelve months, between hirn and several other very sharp nags, two mile bents, in which Fiatlerc-r was a good deal over' the foot" of any of them. 1 considered him then a better horse than lie showed ior, as he had had but a |>oor cbanco to recover from the unusually long and jcugli voyage across the Atlantic, and the injudicious races he had been made to run the Autumn previous, very ricently aHer his lauding, Had his Ircg Win sound, when ho went into hoinirg this loll, he would, undoubtedly, hove made distinguishing and uccesful races in the campaign 1 would as soon breed from Flatterer as any untried Ftollion in the country. His blood is as pure as a horse's can be and his family all run. lie runs back very short. !v to th English Eclipse, and is ahorse of uncommon speed himself, and I thir.k of bottom too.?
