JAMES NJ. SMILEY, Editor. b q

Notwithstanding the unparalleled pres.
sure, which for the last twelve months, has
crampod and trammclled every depart
ment of the Mechanical, Agricultural and
Commercial community, the unwearied
ana interchangeable energies of American
enterprise, are once more giving evidence
of higher and fairer prospect before US.
That quiescent attribute, which, for time,
seemed to mark and designate our down
ward procliyity to carelessness and indif
Terence, has fortunately awakened from
its sluggish apathy; and partially disin-
thralled from the fatal influence of too
blind credulity in the infallibility of
those whom we have elevated above US,
may we not still indulge the hope, that
there is yet held in reserve, happy re-
suit in the experiment Of this last and
once purest Of Republics?
lnstigated, in part, by that grand revol-
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 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 mere minority which sustained
lit. 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 be-
loved country. &Et
The political creed of the Advocate will
be the same which it has heretofore ad-
vocated. State Rights and State Sover-
eighty will be the arterial action which
shall give life and animation to its politi
cal characteristic, while exercising te'
nacity for those principles which will new
eryield to caprice, the columns ofthis jour
nal will, at all times, be open to liberal
and offered as ready channel
to the tide of passing events, and an ac-
ceptable organ Of general science and USE
full knowledge.
We cordially invite the patronage ofaII
hose who concur with us in sentiment, as
we'll as the magnanimity ofthose who dis
'ent from us in politics, to cooperate in sus-
aiming the press. The Advocate wi II in
uturc appear, under the Editorial supervi-
lion of JAMES M. SMILEY, Esqr., and pub
lshed on the same terms of the former
numbers, by A. w. FORSYTHE.

PROSPECTUS

The extensive and growing interest o.
the Southwest, its moral and social i'm
provement, and its increasing literary ant
scientific demands, have awakened atten
ton to the fact that i'll this highly impor
tant portion of our country there is nc
journal or paper so exclusively devoted tc
literature and science, advocating the doc
trines of no party. g.a.. .l
Feeling the necessity of such a paper
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly.
ceum have commenced The publication OF
periodical entitled "THE SoUTH- IVES.
TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to litera-
lure and science, and all subjects interest
ing TO the general reader #l D'- ~
It is published semi-monthly, in the ci.
ty OF Natchez, and contains sixteen small
qnarto pages, similar III form to the "Pen-
ny Magazine" and is protected by good
envelope, so that it may be conveyed to
any distance without injury. $500.
1t will be remembered that we have no
work in the Southwest similar to this;
and every one who feels pride in any en-.
terpriSe calculated to enhance the social
and moral character ofour country, should
come forward and assist in this worthy
enterprise. .a...
Pecunlary emolument constitutes no part
OF the object of this duplication. 1t is not
intended to benefit any individual or the
Lyceum in pecuniary point of view.
The sole object is to advance knowledge
and dlftuse taste for the refined enjoy
ments OF literature and science.
Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
pllshment Of the wishes of the Lyceum
but the patronage Of the community: and
1t is expected that this patronage will be
promptly and cheerfully extended.
All communications in reference "a the
periodical should be addressed, post paid,

he commenced the Pickwick Papers, he was
almost unknown, and was living on FIVE gui-
meas per week, as reporter to the Morning
Chronicle. Chapman and Hall having, with
some difficulty, been persuaded to become
the Pickwick publishers, agreed to give him
l0l. month for each number, or 1901 for the
whole work. After the second number, the
sale became SO immense as to induce the
publishers TO give him 7Ol month, and since
No. 4, he has had one half of the profits, in
GLIDING those Of the first numbers. BY the
fickwick Papers alone he will net between
2O00L and 3000l. Nor is this all !; he was
paid two guineas column Cor Watkins Tot
tie, and other Sketches By Boz" which APP
peared in the Morning Chronicle. For
column of such sketches now, he would have
ten gulneas from any Magazine. He has, Of
course, cut reporting, and instead of some
3O0l year, which he made eighteen months
ago, is in receipt of at least 300Oi. To ensure
him exclusively for himself, Mr.. Richard
Bentley, the publisher, allows him the sum of
lo00L a year as editor of Bentley's Miscel-
lany, and twenty guineas per sheet also for
whatever he writes in it.

the Legislature mend the times that have so long
been out of joint This drawback upon personal
exertion is now al an end. There is no longer any
uncertainty as 20 the future. The people now know
that they and the banks left to shilt Tor them-
selves, and they have nothing to expect from the IN

this state Of things what else can result than reso-

whose duty it was watch over their interests with

is firmly established, nothing can prevent the resto-

tages that are sure to flow from thence. The sol

SECRETS OF HEALTn.-With regard to
exercise, judge between the following ex-
tremes A fox hunter can get drunk every
night in the year, and yet live to an old age
but then he is all exercise and no thought. A
sedentary scholar shall not be able to get
drunk once in year with impunity but then
he is all thought and no exercise" Now the
great object is neither to get used to too much
exercise; nor to be all thought but to enjoy
all pleasure with sprightly season. The four
ordinary secrets Of health are-early rising,
exercise, personal cleanliness, and rising
from the table with the stomach unoppressed.
There may be sorrows in spite Of these, but
they will be less with them, and nobody can
be truly comfortable without them.
