THVHE public is respectfully informed that
 M the subscribers have constructed Bath House, at the foot of Market street, where Warm, Shower and Cold Baths, can be had at all times during the warm season. The benefits of bathing, in point of health and comfort in this climate, need no comment Towels, soap, Slc. will be furnished Should it be required, certain parts of the day will be set apart to accommodate the ladies, at which time female servants will be in attcn- dance. Having been at considerable expense in the construction of the bath house, we hope to meet with liberal patronage.

Southern ATgHs.-Last week we inserted the prospectus for the publication of this paper but had not time to present the right hand of fellowship to the Propretors as an earnest of the good feeling we
 intend to manifest upon their debut into the editorial ranks MT Cannte is to take charge of the editorial department. He is favorably known in his county, as possessing the requisite qualifications for render ing newspaper worthy of patronage. We shall now see whether the Selma Courier can be as dis interested as was in one of its phpics against for incidentally remarking few months since, that the business oi newspapers was oyerdone. We do not however, intend this remark to apply to the pre- sent casei for we consider Selma literally ,cihout paper at this time and we congratulate the citizens ofthat hourshng town on the prospect of soon hay ing an independent ournal-one that will not profess Friendship to all men and all parties and prove re- creant to the interests and wants of the great mass of the people-one that will have an editor who can think and who can ,crite for himself
 We hope the proprietors may find the life of an editor as pleasant and profitable as they anticipate. We hope they may never be ntruded upon by the unwelcome visits of the Blues and as an antdote to this, we hope they may have long list of punctuai snbscribers for fthere be bright sunny spot in the diversified life of an editor it is this This is the talisman which can dspel all temporal gloom, and make one in good humor with himself and all the world. Yet, independent of this, the conscious nese having abored to the best of ones abilities for the promotion of the happiness and knowledge of his fellow creatures, affords many, very many delightful themes for retrospection and were it not that our Pecunlary affairs are always ready to obtrude up on the time which should be devoted to the exercise of the noblest feelings of the heart-charity and good will to all mankind-we could satisfy our high est ambition by thus looking back and surveying the little good we have deposited in the general store house of knowledge.

 Messrs Editors; Your paper of the 4th inst. was this day handed me- in which I find over the sigma ture of "Mercuto," article which the writer in- tends as reflection upon my character for integrity, and understanding. The object of this conmunca- ton IS not reply to the many sanderous statements of an individual whose sole object is detractlon. I know not the name of this pink of truth, neither can so far debase myself as to inquire for it. But were to judge the author by the production would un- hesltatIngly say that he some seif-cOnceited, setmportaat, toppish Hp-start, the greatest man in the world in his own estimation, disciple of some Yankeo Federalist, a thorough Jacksonian but a- ways on the side of his enemies You will confer favor by giving the above an insertion in your pa per. SAMUEL w. MARDIS.
 N B. Had not the editor stated that his paper was open to reply, would have suffered this contempt able matter to pass unnoticed. s. w. MARDIS.

 GREECE.-From Greece also the advices repre- sent the revolt in Maina having assumed serious aspect. The insurgents had come to m engagement with the regular troops, and had been driven to the mountains. The Island of Hydra had refused obe- dence to the general government of Greece, and it was said that Spezzia had joined its cause.

Nuii.fcation.-We receive very large and really valuable Journal from New-York, Camfeld's Ameri- can Argus, Sc. In one of the recent numbers, un- der the head of Latest Foreign Dates'' we find N.

Orleans really do not like this manner of separating them from their country and transferring their city among those of European powers. They claim the honor ofbeing citizens ofthe United States, with Gen Jackson Chief Magistrate.-N. o. Argus.
