PROSPECTUS
PROSPECTUS
FOR THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
AIB&RIY ADVOCATE.
JAMES NJ. SMILEY, Editor

Notwithstanding the unparalleled pressure
which Tor the last twelve months, has crampcd
and trammeled every depart ment of the Me.
chanicaI, Agricultural and Commercial com
munlty, the unweared and interchangeable ener
Igles OF American enterprise, are once more
giving evidenceof a higher and farer prospect
before u.s. That quiescent attribute, which, for
time, seemed to mark and designate our
downward procIivity to careIessness and nd'
terence, has fortunately awakened from its
sluggish apathy; and partially dsinthralled
from the fatal influence of too blind credu
llty in the ntallibiity Of those whom we have
elevated above us, may we not still indulge the
hope, that there is yet held in reserve, a hap
lpy result in the experiment Of this last and
once purest Of Republics?
lnstigated, in part, by that grand revolution
which has already commenced, and which,
still going on in the opinion Of the people, so
lar as respects the political relations existing
between the respective States and the FEEDER.
al 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, II had many
difficulties to encounter, and the strongest OPP
position to contend with. The enduring, and
as we conceive, orthodox principles, which,
have nurtured and sustained the journal through
"good and through evil report" had then in
their infancy, but mere minority which sus'
tanned it. But, the resistless march OF human
reason, before whose advance all obstacles
must ultimately recede, has brought about
brighter and fairer dawn; and the philan'
thropist and the patriot can now look in pro
spective upon tho revisit of those purer days,
which once pointed to the destiny of our much
beloved country. 49,,
The political creed Of the Advocate VIII %
he same which it has heretofore advocated
State Rights and Stale Sovereignty Will DC tho
lrterial action which shall give life and amin
atom to its political character.-But, whlle eH'
,rcsing tenacity for those principles when
will never yield to caprice, the columns OF ln'S
ournaI will, at all times, be open to lloeIa'
discussion, and offered as ready channel 10 lnv
ide Of passing events, and an acceptable orgy"
If general science and useful knowledge.
We cordially invite the patronage Of al thoso
who concur with us in sentiment, aswell as the
of those who dissent from us III
politics, to cooperate in sustaining the press
The Advocate will in future appear, under the
supervision Of JAMES M. SMILEY esq

PROSPECTUS

THE WEEKLY PICAYUNE.
In consequence of the popularity which our
daily paper has gained in all sections of the
country, and the numerous demands we are
receiving from all quarters for weekly Jour-
nal, we have determined on starting one Of that
description, to be entitled the "THE WEEKLY
PIcAYUNE."
Ioadopt the same figurative style used in our
first prospectus, we have fitted out the "Pica-
yune" for more distant voyages, and freighted
her with all sorts Of notions in the shape of
reada6leSj and if the same success attends her
which she has met with while coasng nearer
home, we shall doubtless receive rich returns
10 prepare our little craft for the more ex-
tended sea on which she is destined to move,
we have put on her many additions and i'm,
provements Some of her old timbers have
been taken out and replaced by new--she has
q greater measurement foreand aft, greater
length OF beam, and her sheets have been ma
lerially enlarged.
>. Notwithstanding the Increased size, the pub
TIC may rest assured that the 'Picayaae' will be
enabled TO work in Shoal ,cater with the same
facility as heretofore, and form channels Of
communication which it would be folly for the
dulL heavy vessels at present sailing this port
to navigate.

ANTEDILUvlAN REMAINS IN EGYPT
BY HON. J. S. BUCKINGHAM.

In examining the ruins of Serapcum, in
Egypt, Mr.. Buckingham found some of those
extraordinary and anomalous masses of rock
which have excited the wonder Of the antigua
Try. He says ofthem--
"That they were not stone, | was disposed
TO believe, from the characteristics which dis
|tingulshed it from all other kinds that | had
seen; but that they should be an artificial COM
position, seemed as difficult to suppose, from
the want of an apparent motive for so making
them, as their size was comparatively small;
more particularly when remembered that the
obelisks at Luxor, the colossal Mcmnon at
|Ihebes, and the column Of Pompey at Alexan-
drla, were positively and indisputably single
granite blocks, hewn from the mountains be-
yond the cataracts, and transported down the
Nile; unless, indeed, these dubious masses were
the fragments of a ruder and an earlier age.
| tried every possible method to detach a
piece Of one of these blocks, TO take with me as
Ia specimen, but in vain nor were we more sue
cessiul in cur search after some small pieces
that might have been scattered round, al
though we sought for them in every direction.
1t would be hazarding too much to say that
these were the remains Of antediluvan works i
but should be deficient in candor, if did not
confess, that the rude irregulariry Of form and
size in the masses themselves, the want of or
der in their arrangement, their present appear
ance, and the evident proofs one meets at eve
ry step, Of the surrounding plain having been
once covered by the sea, very foTcbly Impress
ed me with such an opinion on the spot. The
whole ofthe country here looks like ruin of
nature; trees and bushes overwhelmed with
sand, their tops only visible in several places,
md every where the surface scattered over
with broken shells and marine productions
while underneath, at the distance of few feet
S a fine bed of earth.'

HUMAN BEAUTY Montague has said with
great apparent truth, that a man is as sensible
Of the presence Of beauty, when he looks upon
il, as he is of fire when he is scorched by it,
II is in vain, therefore, that Votaire would at
tempt to deny the existence Of any such thing
as human beauty. what is beauty?' says that
prince OF jesters--'If you aska frog, he will re-
ply that beauty consists in having two large
round eyes, goggIng in a little head, "a large
broad throat, yellow breast, and brown back.
If you ask the devil, he will laugh at you for
your stupidity, and assure you that beauty con-
ssts in a pair Of horns, four talons, and long
tail. Consult the philosophers, and they will
reply by some dwellings about archytype,
essences, the BEAU IDEAL and the Kalon! The
truth is in spite Of Votaire, that we all know
what beauty is both in man and woman. The
most perfect individual beauty is always very
different from ideal beauty, and the difficulty,
is TO find out that which is in the least degree
different from it, W. lrring.

WAsHlNGToN.-Th following analysis OF the
epochs in the life of General Washington, is
made out from Sparks Life Of Washington
which has Just appeared:
George Washington attended school till he
was sixteen years old. From sixteen TO nine
teen his time was spent in surveying, part OF
the time in private and part of the time in a
public capacity. From nineteen to twenty he
was absent several months in the West Indies,
with sick brother, and the remainder of the
time at home, settling his deceased brothers.
estate. From twenty TO twenty-six he was in
the French and Indian war. At twenty-six he
was married, and resided as private citizen
on his estate at Mount Vernon, till near Eorty-.
three. AT this age he was chosen Comman-
der-in-C Chief of the American army, which sta
ton he held eight years, and retired at the age
of fifty-one, to Mount Vernon. From ffty-one
TO fiIty-seven he passed at Mount Vernon, in
agricultural pursuits. Attic age ffirty-seyen
he was chosen President of the United States, :
which office he held eight years, and retired
again to his fayorite pursuits at Mount Yer
lon, al the age Of sixty-fve. Here he res ided
ill his decease-threo years. He died at the
'ge of sixty-eight.

GAMNG.-Of all the passions, gaming is the
most dangerous and inexcusablc. A gamcster
attempts to enrich himself of the spoils of those
he calls his friends. But how many armies are
against him! Behold the mother! her tears re-
proach him with the ruin Of her only son. That
father! he pronounces his name with horror
and contempt to his chiIdren Pursued by ha-
tired, overwhelmed by reason and humanity;
and, after wandering long in the mazes of vice,
he finds nothing before his eyes bu: ruin and
remorse.

CONSUMPTION Cured.

MIR. Edward Russell, was, in December last
suddenly seized with cold shiverlngs, which were
succeeded by pains in every part of the body. The
pains continued severe until the month OF Nav
when he began to spit blood, this shortly after
succeeded by hacking cough, swelling and pain
in the chest, and the discharge OF blood from the
mouth became considerable; these symptoms,
which are so often the messengers of sudden death
we're, in the course Of few weeks, followed by
thick yiscid suppuraton, mingled with blood. This
circumst ance appeared TO give him temporary re-
lief, as the cough became less troublesome, and the
appetite increased. The discharge of pus ncreas-
ed and the body was wasted as TO assume all
the appearances Of one who fingers in tho last stage
of Consumption. The physicians who attended
were sati6sed in their opin'on,that no hope remined
and that further trial oc medicine would be entirely
useless In this dire and fororn state, he began
to use HINTS Botanic Pills, and By taking few
boxes of the medicine he has received perfect
cure and has since enjoyed excellent health. The
unexpected recovery of Mr.. Russell has as anished
all his relatives and friends and he tenders these
lines to Dr. Hunt with everlasting gratitude.

SYMPTOMS.
The common corporal symptoms are, hatulency
in the stomach or bowels, acrid eruc,ations, cos
iveness, spasmodic pains, giddness, dimness o,
sight, pap atoms, and often utter inability oil
fixing the attention upon any subject Of importance
or engaging in any thing that demands vigor or
courage. Also langudness--ihe mind becomes
irritable, Thoughtful, Responding, melancholy, and
detected, accompanied with total derap cement Of
