PROSPECTUS OF THE

in the City Of Vicksburg.
EDITED by JOHN J. HAMILTON.

HUSTON, the most potent of all law-qivers

public, the necessity of giving something in =
form OF what is commonly called e'@''

undertaking in which he is about to embark.
and brief exposition of the views entertained
by him in relation to the subjects of which he
proposes to treat.
In compliance with this well established us
age we will endeavor to explain as conciselv as
possible what is intended to be the character of
the paper the publication Of which we are about
to commence.
The JOUTHERN MECHANIC will, as its
name denotes, be devoted to the support of the
interests, the advocacy of the rights, and the
improvement of the mental and physical condi-
ton OF those who have devoted their lives To tho
pursuits OF the mechanic arts, as we'll as of all
others who obey the scriptural Injunction that
man should "earn his bread by the sweat Of HIS
brow" In the pursuit of lhese objects we shall,
however, studiously avoid every thing like at

Many have said that the late, as wen as the

hunting proof to show that they were right in
making the prediction
Uutil the inventive powers of the human mind

to Office can have the one he wants, opposition
may be expected. Union and education, rem
dered effective by free press in America, have
enabled the people as a nation, to not only crush
foreign tyranny, but to support themselves a
ganst internal factions, not less inimcal to their
peace and prosperity. Union gave harmony to
feeling; response to sentiments and sameness to
action. Education gave the right direction to
the combined energies, and taught the people to
know and value their rights-the blessings Of
popular government. The press was the con
ductor by which an equilibrium was produced
and maintained through all the parts.
These being our views respecting the past
the inquiry naturally psesents itself How Hr'

selves, the rights and privileges we enjoy2 This
we think, can be effected only by continuing il

PROSPECTUS
FOR THE
South Western. Journal.
A MAGAZINE OF
SCIENCE, LITERATURE AND MIS-
CELLANY.
PUBLISHED sEMI-MoNTHLY
By the Jefferson College and Washington
Lyceum.
PROSPECTUS

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 in this highly impor.
tant portion ofour country there is no jour.
nal or paper so exclusively devoted to lit.
erature and science, advocating the doe
trine of no party.
Feeling the necessity Of such a paper,
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly.
ceum have commenced the publication Of
a periodical entitled "TIIE SOUTH-WES-
TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to lit.
erature and science, and all subjects inter.
esting to the general reader.
1t published semi-monthly, in the city
of Natchez, and contains sixteen small
quarto pages, similar in form to the "Pen-
ny Magazine" and is protected by a good
envelope, so that it may be conveyed TO
any distance without injury.
1t will be remembered that we have no
work in the Southwest similar to thsj
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.
Pecuniary emoluments constitutes no
part of the object of this publication. 1t
is not intended to benefit any individual
or the Lyceum in pecuniary point of
view. The sole object is to advance
knowledge and diffuse taste for the
refined enjoyments of Literature and
| Science
Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
plishment of the wishes of the Lyceum but
the patronage of the community; and it is
expected that this patronage will be prompt
ly and cheerlully extended
All communications in reference to the
periodical should be addressed, post paid,
to Professor ]. A. VAN HoEsEN, the Sec. Of
the Lyceum, Natchez, Mi. The subscrip.
ton price $5, in all cases in advance.
The first number of this paper is dated
Dec. Is, 1887, and it will be continued Sc
mi-monthly from that date.

MASON AND DIxoN's LINE.-This boundary is so
termed from the name of Charles Mason and Jeremiah
Dixon--,he two gentlemen who were appointed to run
unfinished lines in 1861, between Pennsylvania and
Maryland, the territories subjected TO the heirs OF
Penn and Lord Baltimore A temporary line had been
run 1882 but had not given satisfaction to the dis
putting parties, although it resulted from agreement
in 1899 between themselves A decree had been made
in 1913, by King James, delneatng the boundaries be-
tween the lands given by charter to the first Lord Ba-
more and those adjudged to his maesty afterwards to
William PENN which divided the tract OF land between
Delaware Bay and the Eastern side and the
Chesapeake Bay on the other by line equally inter-
secting it, drawn from Cape Henlopen to the 4th de-
dree Of North latitude decree in chancery rendered
the Kings decree imperative But the situation OF
Henopen became long subject Of serious, protraced,
and expensive litigation, particularly after the death oil

and Richard and Thomas Penn, (who had become the
sole propretors OF the American possession OF their Ia

division by an East ard West line, running westward
from that Cape to the exact middle Of the peninsula.
Lord Baltimore became dissatisfied with this agreement
and endeavored to nvalidate it, Chancery suits kngly

eventually produced the appointment OF commissioners
to run the temporary line. This was effected IN 1879

MORNING.

God of the heavens, how beautiful thy works!
On the horizons utmost verge CLEAN
OF light is breaking, Ills the morns first BEAM
Misty and faint il seems, but oh, there turks
A world of beauty there; behold it now
Is the Eternal City's pavement seen.
Inlaid with gems like colors from the bow .-
Ofpromise sapphire, and emerald green
Ruby and amethyst their radiance spread.
Nights queen is lost, and Phosphor fades from
sight,
Drown'd in the splendor of Morn's glorious light
This beauty Father, which thy love has shed,
Seems like the shadowing Of thine angels wings,
A blest foretaste Of eternal things! &c.

Turkish Ladies.-N othing can exceed the
courtesy Of the Turkish ladies' to strangers;
they always appear delighted to converse
with an European female who seems disposed
to meet them half way, and they do SO with q
frankness and an ease which at once destroy
every feeling of reserve on the part Of the
stranger. In five minutes every thing they
have is at your seryice--the fruit OF which they
are partaking, and the scented sherbet that
they have prepared with their own hands. To
make acquaintance with them you only re-
qure to be cheerful, willing to indulge their
harmless curiosity, and ready to return their
civility in as far as you are enabled to do so.
There is none Of that whitening Indifference or
that supercilious scrutiny which obtains so
much in Europe to be dreadful from Turk
ish gentle woman; but there is, on the con-
trary, an earnest urbanity about her which is
delightful, and which emanates from the intui-
tive poteness SO universal among the natives,
coupled with simplicity Of feeling and sim
cerity ofgood nature that lend a double charm
to the courtesies of life. Nor is the eye less
satisfied than the heart in these moments Of
agreeable, although brief communion; for the
graceful bearing Of an Oriental female greatly
enhances the charms Of her ready Kindness
and her self possession and dignity of manner
render her superior to the paltry aiectatlon OF
assumed coldness, while they convince you,
that she would be as prompt to resent imperti-
hence as she had been to proffer courtesy
