tmBSSgBS* II i PROSPECTUS or T11K LITERARY BULLETIN. . Charleston, S. C. IN offering to the patronage of the pnhlio, % new * literary paper, we are perfectly aware that wo are but repeating an uft-tried experiment. The result, however, we would fain believe, will be differ cut. we are, it is true, conscious of the possession of no talent or ability superior to that of our predecessors, but we rely, (perhaps, indeed, with too much of the ardor of all experiments,) upon the increasing tasto of the age of literature ; a taste, the evidence of which is before us in tlio number of periodicals, engaged solely in its cultivation?in the lyecuqns, the libraries and academies devoted to science and learning. Whilst tho North and the West are thus assidiously employed in the exemplary task of mental improvement, we Will not sup- | poso that tho South intends longer to bear the , weight of that heavy inemhbus which heretofore j has whelmed it in an intellectual slumber more , lasting and profound than that physical one which , erowhile enwrapped the seven sleepers of Kphesus. , It is with a hope thus founded, and with an in , tenlion if wc cannot win success, at least to deserve , it; that notwithstanding the uniform failure of those who have preceded us, we have ventured to claim j the patronage and to labor for the applause of the j puDiic. I he stako shall be played for; how the gamo is to end, time only can determine. < Our object will be to render the columns of the Bulletin both useful and amusing. For this pu.- j pose, while one portion is devoted to original Essays, Tales and Poonn. furnished from time to time by nur correspondents and collaborators, another , portion shall be occupied by selected matter culled j ir -m every spot of interest and instruction, in the j vast held of literature. 1 The productions of the press shall pass in review | beforo us, and on every work which merits our ( notice, an impartial criticism shall be bestowed.? To light literature and to learned scienco shall 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 value of every book, (at least in i onr own opinion) before they begin to read. He, says Dr. 1< ranklin, who is good at excuses, is seldom good at any thing else; and the same we ( opine may be said of promises; lest therefore our ( readeis come to som? such conclusion as 'his, 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 patror.age.

It made double, they reduce labqr. and gin just louble, the quantity of cotton over the single cy linler Gin, no other knd having been in use prevous ;o this patent; and whether single or doable, they ire found to improve the quality of the cotton, by more perfectly cleaning it. They can be made to contain from ?0 to 160 saws in a stand , and whether imall or large, one hand will be sufficient to attend Lhem. The Gin* have mechanical feeders and loppera attached to them, which tree the cottoo Irotn leave*, trash, dirt, dkc. before it can teach the taws, and by the thorough hackling operation it receives front the feeders, which make two revoluttons to one of the saws, it is almost in a halt lined state, before it descends to the saw. By a very simple arrangement of a screw to each set ?| ;aates, on which~the hoppers rest, and through which the teeth of the feeders pass, they can be inade to teed slow or last to suit the condition ot Lhe cotton at the time. When made double, the taws are placed on two sets of cylinders and turn upon each other in opposite directions, and are cleansed by two sets ol 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 sAnd. The whole is put in operation with a drum and blind, as in the ordinary Gin, and may be propelled by horse, steam, or water power. It may also be propelled by iron running gear. ritP inrni* rpnuifnH tn tvnrlr it ?a nKnnt tlin uam? no w ttx'IO %) ? *"V UO that necessary to move an equal number of saws in the common Gin.

The Gins ordered will be delivered to the agents, of planters in any of the sea port towns of the cotton planting Slates, at the above prices, the agents paying the freight on the same from New York, and becoming responsible for !he amount of the Gin. It is desirable, when planters give orders for Gins, they should accompany thetn with theif views in regard to the arrangement of saws, breasts, brushes, Ac. it is founu they differ in opinion Some desire saws of larger diameter than others. The most common size is 9 or 10 inches ; but some wish them flinches. Some wish 5 or 0 rows of brushes on nn axle, while others do not want more than 4 at most. Some wish saws with 8 or 9 teeth to the inch, while others want 10 or 11. With so much discrepancy, we prefer they should, at the lime of giving orders, furnish a statement, of their wishes, and the manufneturerers can fulfil them in every particular. Where it is left to our discretion, we shall makethrm on the most modern and approved plan. An order con be executed, from the time it and the Gin in that time placed in the hands of Ihe factor To be in time for the next crop, all orders ought to be in the hands of the manufacturers by the first or middle of May; except for plantations where they are late in commencing to pick or gin cotton.

Mis j kin, Esq., Member of the ltoyal College of Surgeons, Licentiate of Apothecary's Company, Fel| Tow of Boll Court Society Surgecn to the Royal , Union Pension Association, Lancaster Place, I Wnterloo'Bridge, and perpetual pupil of Guy's { and St. Thomas's Hospitals, London. This valuable medicine, the result of twenty years' experience and unparrallelcd success in tho extensive and highly respectable practice of tho proprietor, patronised by the faculty and nubility, is now introduced to the notice of the American public, at the earnest solicitation ef a nuinler of gentlemen of long and high standing in the prolession. It is hoped, as a preliminary step, to check the evils and latul ocnsefpif i.ccs arising from the use of the numeious deleterious nostrums foisted upon the public by the aid of fabricated proofs of miraculous cures, and othe r frauds, by a set of mercenary, unprincidled pretenders, so totally ignorant ol medical science that it is impossible the monstrous delusion can any longer go down with the inteltigeut people of this country. These pills, mild and agreeable in their nature, should be kej>t in every family in eases of sudden illness, for by their prompt administration, elude ra, cramps, spasms, levers, and other alarming complaints, which too often prove fatal, may be j speedily cured or prevented, in fact, all these i who value gcod health should never le without j tlieni. They are sold in packets, at TO cents, ?1, j and i?.2 each, by every respectable druggist, Look) seller, and vender of medicine in the United States and the Cnnadas, with copious directions, together with testimonials of professional ability from the j following eminent gentlemen: Sir Asllcv Cooper, ' .1.
