PROSPECTUS
FOR THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
IIGBRR lRW ADVOCATE
JAMES Nj. SMILEY, Editor.

Notwithstanding the unparalleled pres
sure, which for the last twelve months, has
crampcd and trammclled every depart
ment of the Mechanical, Agricultural and
Commercial community, the unwearied
and interchangeable energies of American
enterprise, are once more giving evidence
of higher and falrer prospect before US.
That quiesccnt attribute, which, for time,
seemed to mark and designate our down
ward proClivity to careIessness and indif-
ference, has fortunately awakened from
its sluggish apathy; and partially disn-
thrailed from the fatal influence of a too
blind credulity in the infalIibility Of
those whom we have elevated above US,
may we not still indulge the hope, that
there is yet held in reserve, a happy ro-
suit in the experiment Of this last and
once purest Of Republics?
lnstigated, in part, by that grand revolt
ution which has already commenced, and
which is still going on in the opinion of
the people, so far as respects the political
relations existing between the respective
States and the Federal Government, the
present Proprietor is about to embark in
the publication of the Liberty Advocate.
Two years ago, this journal dated its
origin, at a period when, in this County,
1t had many difficulties to encounter, and
the strongest opposition to contend with.
The enduring, and, as we conceive, ortho
dox principles, which have nurtured and
sustained the journal through ''good and
through evil report" had then in their in
fancy, but a mere minority which sustained
it. But, the resistless march of human
reason, before whose advance all obsta-
Giles must ultimately recede, has brought
about brighter and fairer dawn; and
the philanthropist and the patriot can
now look in prospective upon the re-
visit of those purer days, which once
pointed to the destiny Of our much DO
loved country. :,
The political creed of the Advocate VIII
be the same which it has heretofore au-
vocated. State Rights and State SoUer'
eighty, will be the arterial action WING"
shall give life and animation to its Pollu-
cal character.-But, while exercising 10
nacity for those principles which VIII new
er yield to caprice, the columns ofthis jour,
nal will, at all times, be open to lloera,
and offered as ready chanhe'
to the tide Of passing events, and an az
ceptable organ Of general science and use
full knowledge. ~
We cordially invite the patronage o. ..
those who concur with us in sentiment, %
well as the magnanimity ofthose VINO u.
sent from us in politics, TO cooperate IN Su:
tanning the press. The Advocate WI y =

Our TowN.-The improvement Of our
town is so rapid that we cannot keep pace
with it, the buildings that have lately been
put up, and the number that are going up
are more than we at this time have any
idea of particularly frame houses, and some
Of pretty large dimensions. Our merchants
are now receiving their Fall and Win
ter supplies, which gives quite business
aspect to our village. There are four or
five wholesale establishment that are daily
making large sales; one just came in few
days since, and one or two more that it is
thought will be here this winter, and proba-
bly, locate themselves permanently. The
bank is in operation, and doing business.
Every thing seems TO possess that life and
vivifying energy, which once characterised
this place Raymond Times.

ONDIT.-It issaid that Jackson our good
ly State Capital, is crowded for three or
four days Teach week with vsitants from
every quarter ofthe State, whoitis presum-
ed come for the purpose Of seeing how the
building ofthe new State House progresses
There is generally on Thursday and Fri
day large number gathered about the
shady side the street, not far from the
building where there is most excellent
view ofthe Capitol and the interior Of the
Union Bank. But few of these are said to
be from Natchez and still less from the
county of Adams which augurs we'll for
their want Of curiosity.
We are assured that the Capitol will be in
readiness for the Legislature in January
Its building which would do credit to a.
ny State in the Union. Its cost will be.
between 100000 and 100000. The
Penitentiary also begins to raise its head

A company formed at Paris for exPlo-
ring the ruins of Carthage has already
met with great success. A large house
has been discovered on the margin of the
sea, near Bourj-Jedid. Paintings in fres-
coe, similar TO those at Pompeii, adorn
many OF the rooms, and beautiful mosalcs,
representing men, woman, and nymphs,
fishes Of various kinds, tigers, gazelles, &c
have been found. Fifteen cases, with
these precious relics, have arrived at Tou

After all the shouts Of the Loco Focos,
the prospects of the Wings are by no
means gloomy. 1t seems now reduced to
an almost absolute certainty that the
Wing strength in the neat Congress aCiIl be
greater Than At is in the present. Thus far
in the Congressional elections, the Wings
have gained more than they have lost
and it is nearly certain, that they will dc
still better in the future elections than
they have done in the past.

SINGULAR FACT.-A paper published in

The extensive and growing interest Of
the Southwest, its moral and social i'm.
provement, and its increasing literary and
scientific demands, have awakened atten-
ton to the fact that III this highly impor.

literature and science, advocating the doc.
trines Of no parry

The Human Heart.-lt appears from the
researches of an English physician ofemi-
nence, DR.. Glenderwing, published IN
the Medical Gazette, the medium weight
of the heart is nine ounces in man and
eight ounces in WOMAN. A remarkable
fact and one hitherto unknown is that the
heart of man becomes heavier as old age
approaches, W lie that of woman dimin-
ishes in weight, after the thirtieth year.

A Friendly IntimatiOn.-The boarders
at tavern in Georgia were annoyed by
flies in their butter. Judge Dooley took
the tavern keeper aside, and remarked to
him, in private way, that some Of his
friends thought it would be the best for him
to put the butter on one plate and the flies
on another, and let the people mix them to
suit themselves. He merely suggested it
for consideration.

& Execution of .Anne Bullen.--In Houssaie's
Memoirs, little circumstance is recorded con.
cerning the decapiation Of the unfortunate Anne
Bullen, which illustrates an observation of Hume.
Our historian notices that her executi0ner was a
Frenchman of Calais, who was supposed to have
uncommon skill: it is probable that the following
incident might have been preserved by tradition
in France, from the executioner himself. Anne
Bullen being on the scaffold, would not consent
to have her eyes covered with bandage, saving
she had no fear of death. All that the divine who
assisted at her execution could obtain from her,
was, that she would not shut her eyes. But as
she was opening them at every moment, the exc
cutioner could not bear their tender and rapid
glances; fearful Of missing his aim, he was obliged
to invent an expedent to behead the queen He
drew off his shoes, and approached her silently:
while he was at her left hand, another person ad-
vanced at her right, who made great noise in
walking, so that this circumstance drawing the
attention of Anne, she turned her face from the
executioner, who was enabled by this artifice to
strike the fatal blow without being disarmed by
that affecting resignation which shone in the
eyes of the lovely Anne Bullen."

When the fond heart doth sink full low,
From brightest objects riven,
And life's fair scenes look pale with wo,
And darkness circles pleasures brow,
How sweet the hope of Heaven!
When sorrow heaves the troubled breast,
Like waves by tempests driven;
When the hurt spirit, deep distrest,
Like wave.borne bark can find no rest,
How bright the thought of Heaven!
And when the dreams Of life are fled,
And deaths keen sting is given;
How calmly may we rest our head,
While angels circle round our bed,
To wing our way to Heaven!

bourgs had then successfully arrived, some by
the Rue st. Honore, others by the Point Neui,
the Point Royal, and the wickets of the Louvre.
The Marsellas marched at the head of the CO.

pointed their pieces towards the palace Inc
great number of the insurgents, which increased
every moment, was joined by multitude attracted
by curiosity; and thus the enemy appeared strong-

sent, hmsef to the Hotel de Vile, and at last a
few hundred men were placed at his door, that he
might seem to be in a state of arrest. The palace
was at this moment absolutely besieged. The
assailants were in the palace, and, by the dawnlng
light, they seen through the old doors OF the
courts, and from the windows. Their artillery
was discovered pointed at the palace, and their
confused shouts and threatening songs were heard.
The plan of anticipating them had been anew pro-
posed; but tidngs of Mandat's death had just
been received, and the opinion Of the ministers,
as well as of the department, was, that 1t was best
10 await the attack and suffer themselves TO be
forced within the limits of the law. RGderer
had Just gone through the ranks of this little gar
rison to read to the Swiss and the National
Guards the legal proclamation which forbade
them to attack, but enjoined them to repel force
by force. The King was solicited to review IN
person the servants who were preparing to defend
him. The unfortunate Prince had passed the
night in listening to the conflicting opinions that
were expressed around him; and, during the only
moments Of relaxation, he prayed to Heaven for
his royal consort, his children and his sister, the
the objects of all his fears. Sire said the Queen
to him with energy, 1T is time to show yourself.
1t is even asserted that, snatching pistol from
the belt Of old Affey, she presented it angrily al
the King. The eyes of the Princess were in
famed with weeping; but her brow appeared
lofty, her nostris dilated with indignation and
pride.

love it when it streameth in
The humble cottage door,
And casts the cheqnered easement shade
Upon the red brick floor.
love ii where the children lie
Deep in the clovery grass,
To watch among the twining roots
The gold-green beetles pass.
love it on the breezy sea,
To glaDce or sail and oar,
While the great waves, like molten glass,
Come leaping to the shore.
love il on the mountain tops,
Where lies the thawless snow,
And half kingdom bathed in light,
Lies stretching out below.
And when it shines in forest glades,
Hidden, and green, and cool,
Through messy boughs and veined leaves,
How is it beautiful!
How beautiful on little streams,
When and shade at play
Make silvery meshes, while the brook
Goes singing OH us way.
How beautiful. where dragon flies
Are wondrous to behold,
With rainbow wings Of gauzy pearl,
And bodies blue and gold!
How beautiful, on harvest slopes
To see the sunshine lie;
Or on the paier reaped fields,
Where yellow shocks stand high!
Oh, yes! love the sunshine!
Like kindness or like mirth
Upon human countenance,
Is sunshine on the earth.
Upon the earth: upon the sea;
And through the chrystal air,
On piled mp clouds: the gracious sun
