H. 8., &C. Illustrated uith 1,241 Engravings: THIS is, unquestionably, the most popular work of the kind ever published, and a book moBt admirably adapted to the wants of all cleisses of the community. The following are the important objects which the learned author endeavors to ac complish— 1st. To instruct the Manufacturer, Metallurgist, and Tradesman, in the principles of their respective processes, so as to render them, in reality, the mas ters of their business ; and to emancipate them irom a state of bondage to such as are too commonly gov erned by blind prejudice and viscious routine. 2dly. To afibrd Merchants, Brokers, Drysalters, Druggists, and Officers of the Revenue character istic descriptions of the commodities which pass through their hands. 3dly. By exhibiting some of the finest develop ments of Chemistry and Physics, to lay open an ex cellent practical school for students ol these kin dred sciences. 4thly. To teach Capitalists, who may be desirous of placing their funds ia some productive branch of industry,'^to selcct judiciously, among plausiUe claimants. 5thly. To enable gentlemen of the Law to be come well acquainted with the nature of those pa tent schemes which are so apt to give rise to litiga tion. Cthly. To present to Legislators such a clear ex position of the staple manufactures, as may dissuade them from enacting laws, which obstruct industry, or cherish one branch of it, to the injury of many others. And, lastly, to give the general reader, intent, chiefly, on Intellectual Cultivation, views of many of the noblest achievements of science, in effecting those grand transformations of matter to which Great Britain and the United States owe their pa ramount wealth, rank and power among the nations of the earth. The latest Statistics of every important object of Manufactures are given from the best, and usually from the Official authority, at the end of each arti cle. The Work will be printed from the second Lon don Edition, which sells for S12 a copy. It will be put on good paper, in new brevier type, and will make about 1400 pages. It will be issued in twen ty-one semi-monthly numbers, (in covers) at twen ty-five cents each, ou delivery. To any person sending ns five dollars, at one time in advance, we will forward the numbers by mail. ^>06*^ as soon as they come from the press.

C0...1y NEW STEAM-BOAT LINE A Steam Boat Line has been formed in connec tion with the new Steam Boat “ Utility,” and a set of new Boats at present three in number, otiiers will be added as the business may require. Tlie Utility was built in Wilmington in 1841, and draws when empty but 19 inches water. She carries 500 Bales of Cotton and draws then but little over three leet. Country merchants who may wish to get their Goods up in the Summer and early in the Fall when the River is generally low, will find it to their advantage to patronize this. Several forwarding Merchants and other residents of Cheraw and oth er places are interested, and feel confident that tfiey can holil out such inducements to the back country as will be beneficial to all concerned. The busi ness will be done principally by towing lighteis which will insure a passage while there is two feet water in the channel. B. BRYAN & BRO., Agents.

UR MESSENGER OF THE SOUTH. Ih ENCE, the ARTS, MECHANICS, AGRICUL TURE, EDUCATION, and GENERAL INTEL LIGENCE -in a w’ord, to whatever may impart in struction or alford amusemont to each class, profes sion or calling of our people. In politics and reli gion, the Chicora will occupy strictly neutral ground ; yet sulficient attention will be paid to both, to ena ble the reader to learn how prospers the religious- and political condition of the country. A paper dev’oted to the purposes above stated, has long been a desideratum at the South ; and it is to meet this, that The Chicora is now proposed to be Jssued. The Subscribers are aware their promises may appear too confident, after the repeated failure of Southern periodicals ; but they beg leave to say, that so complete are the arrangements they have made—so extensive the correspondence they have secured—so valuable tJie aid, both of Northern and Southern talent they have enlisted—that with the kindly feelings and fiberal patronage of the South, they have no fears for the result. The Literary Department of the CnicoRA will be supplied with articles of rare and substantial merit with reviews and critiques of all the new works o> the day, and with original tales, sketches, works of hction, biographies and poetry from the pens of se veral of the most gifted authors, both oi the North and South. The Scientific and Mechanical Department will be enriched with essays and illustrations from indi viduals high in public estimation, as thoroughly practical inen, which, together with the Agricultu ral communications already secured to the paper from various portions of the country, will lorm a compendium ot useful instruction inv aluablc to the artisan anil the planter. In this Department of General Mdligence, the subscribers believe the Chicora w^ill take a stand which will not be surpassed by any Journal of the Union. As one ol the subscribers will make it his constant business to visit every section cf our l oun- try ; and through means of an extensive acquaint ance already possessed in the cities of our sea-board and the West, a weekly correspondence will be es tablished with Boston, New-York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Cincinnati and New-Or- leans, through which will bp obtained, not only the pir.'^est information in regard to all loreign and do mestic matters of importance, Pric.es ^rrent of Southern affairs of moment 1^ (he d.fferenC Smtcs, but .ilso the opmions ol judi- in tne " i . , Commercial prospects, and cious men m regaiU to ^ matters of an economical; ?i\ d; and politica acter. Nor, since AUttlc folly now and then, Is relished by the wisest men, do they intend to exclude those ^nicies of information, familiarly designated the chit chat ot the day, which, while they may serve to amuse a weary or listless hour, have at the sanie tnne the hicrher elfect of acquainting us wiUi the character and cultoms of our Northern and bg! and connecting more closely the bonds of unity be tween us. .... * Feeling assured then, of their ability to V f wishes of the Southern community, and to establish a paper on the most approved, useful and popu^r plan, and hereby pledging themselves t^^t no ^^«r Fion shall be wanting on their part, fullv to redeem, but even to exceed the promibCB fh ^ mZ, they respectfully solicit the patrona|e oJ the good people of South Carolina and her sister States. .
