The extensive and growing interest OF
the South West, its moral and social I'M
proyement, and its increasing literary and
scientific demands, have awakened atten-
ton to the fact that i'll this highly impor-
tant portion of our country there is no
Journal or paper SO exclusively devoted to
literature and science, advocating the doc
trineS Of no party
Feeling the necessity Of such paper,
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly-
ceum have commenced the publication of
a periodical entitled '"rHE SoUTH-WEs-
TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to litera-
ture and science, and all subjects interest
ing to the general reader
1t is published seml-monthly, in the CT
ty of Natchez, and contains sixteen small
qnarto pages, similar i'll form to the "Pen-
ny Magazine and is protected by good
envelope, so that it may be conveyed 10
any distance without injury.
1t will be remembered that we have no
work in the Southwest similar to this;
and every one who leels a pride in any en-
lerprise calculated to enhance the social
and mora. character of our country. should
come forward and assist in this worthy
enterprise. #
Pecuniary emolument constitutes no part
Of the object Of this duplication. 1t is not
intended to benefit any individual or the
Lyceum in pecunlary point Of view.
The sole object is to advance knowledge
and ditfuse taste Tor the refined ENJOY
ments of literature and science.
Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
plshment of the wishes OF the Lyceum
but the patronage of the community; and
it is expected that this patronage will be
promptly and cheerlulIy extended,

periodical should be addressed, post paid,

MURDER.

Mr. Brown was assailed, by lawyer,
named Bowie, in Gallatin, Mi, who was
armed with pistol and bowie-knife, Brown
was unarmed; when he said so, Bowie laid
down his weapons, and they engaged in a
regular fist fight, which ended in their Sc
after Bowie ceased to resist. He
got few steps from Brown, took out
1 pistol and shot him through the
heart. Bowie is in custody.

| R. M. Whitney, Il il Of lata date, and ori
ginatcd in the head Of tho editor Of The
Courier. What can equal such low efforts
to produce effect political! The editor d!
that print knows---if not, why did he say
any thing about its--that there is no con-
tractor now for the route.
IN. M. Whitney, Of this place, put in his
bid last fall, but did not get il. The man
that did--a Mr.. Smith, Of Va, we believe
did not come on to claim it. The citi-
zrns of this place. not like the man Of the
Courier--are grateful to Mr.. Whitney,
end so would the people of Natchez, if they
knew the trouble he took, and the expen-
SEES he incurred, though not a contractor,
to keep up the route. Several letters
we're sent on to the P. Q. Department,
and desires expressed that Mr.. Whitney
should get the contract. He has accom-
modated the community some six or seven
months, by request of the Post-mastcrs,
and others, both at Natchez and this place;
but not being contractor. and having
nothing to bind, either him or the Depart
ment, he thought--he claims the right to
tEink--that he could do so no longer
Therefore he brought the bags to this
not leave them at Palestin 80
got the Post-master's receipt for the same.
These are the facts of the case.

In conclusion, see their recent atteinpt

constitution, to create a National Bank,
which, with its tremendous power. in con.

SArcHEz couR1ER-L1prRrY MAIL.

The Courier says: ga most wretched
and shameful state of things EXISTS in re-
gard to the Iiberty Mail" This SEN
tence, though not correct, is the only one
in an article, in the tri-weekly Courier Of
the 9Th inst, headed "Mail Facilities"
that approximates the truth. What are
we to think of an edtor--one whom the
people look to for truth and information,
who could make such statement as the
following: "The mail-bags FROM that place
Liberty on their way here, were left
about four ~eeks ago, at place called
Palestine, about "a miles east of this CT
ty, where they are now; although the p.
M. at that place has had frequent oppor-
tunities of forwarding them"
The truth is, that at Palestine, there is
no Post Office, no Postmaster; no mail
bags were left there, consequently, no P.
M. at Palestine can resent the attacks Of
the Courier.
Again the Courier says: "NoD the sec
ret of this matter is, the contractor is a
COUSIN Of one r. M. Whitneyl So ice go,
&C."
IF relationships exists between nj. M.
whitncy--if he is the one alluded to, and
