Fayetteville, Sept. 1, lS."fi. 14-tf EROS PECTUS or THE sOUTHIKX IdTKRAKY MESSENGEU For the Year 1S55. July to December. TWKSTY-THIUD VOLT'DIR. In issuing the Prospectus of the Twntv-Third Vol ume of the 'SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER, commencing With the July No., the Proprietors rely solely on the encouraging letter and promises of the friends of the Messenger to aid them in extending its circulation, and they beg to assure the public that no exertions will be remitted on. their part to maintain the high character of the work, and to challenge the patronage of all who value sterling literary merit. For Twenty-One Years, the Messenger has endeavored to reflect faithfully the Southern mind, while disdaining all harrow and sectional views, and has been alone among the monthly periodicals of America, in defence of the PECULIAR INSTITUTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN STATES. To this ofliee it will be. devoted, and will be prompt to repel assaults upon the South, whether they come under the specious garb of fiction, or in the direct form of anti-slavery pamphlets. At this critical juncture, while our enemies are employing literature as their most potent weapons of attack, the Southern people will surely not withhold their encouragement from a work whose aim it shall be to strike blows iu their de fence. The Messenger will, as heretofore, present its readers with Kevieics, Ilisloriml and IJiographical Sketches, Novels, Tales, Travels, Essays, Pnems, Critiques, and Papers on the Army, Navy and ether National Subjects. With a vi"w to ensure a iarger circulation of the MESSENGER, the Proprietors though they inteud greatly increasing the size of the work, have reduced the price of Supscription, which is uow only Three Dollars per. annum, in Adv-inre, OR FOUR DOLLARS IF XOT PAID BEFORE THE FIRST OF JULY IX ANY YEAR. CLUBS Remitting us Fifteen Dollars in one letter, will be entitled to Six Copies. The Editorial ami Critical department of the Mes senger will continue under the charge of JOIIX.n. TilOMPSOS, Eq., And will embrace copious notes on current literature and reviews of all new American or Foreign works of general interest and value. The Editor's opinions will be always fearlessly and honestly avowed. The Business Department is conducted by the unaer- sijrutju, 10 wnom an communications 01 a oiisuiew - tnre must be addressed.

JV. c T..MOW "OTIiraca CT THE COMBOtR HALLM. RAYItER'g SFEEf H. J Ameeting ru held in the Commons Hall, on Monday night 8th December. Gen. Alfred Dockery wat called to the Chair, and W H Harrison of Wake, and Mr Mann of Pawjno tank, were appointed Secrets riea. Mr Kenneth Rayner being called npon, came forward aud addressed the meeting. He eaid he stood before them a Paul Btood before Agrippa, to speak of those things which he knew, and, like Paul, to defend himself against those political Jew who were after him as the Jews were after Paul. But he defied them. He would not shelter himself behind a public iggeting, but woold thus boldly deelajg his views and reiterate his" charges. What" cared he for "jail birds" cross road hucksters, bull dogs, bloodhounds, cut-eared fice, Ac. Of conrse he did not mean to say all Democrats were so Oh no he knew" honorable men among them, whom he respected; bat he ap plied those epithets to those who had assailed and persecuted him. He jrloried in the honor thus conferred upon him of singling him out. Napoleon was proud when he thought tliut it took all the Kings of Europe to dethrone him; and he gloried that al! the Hrtillery of the Demo cratic press had been directed to crush him. These attacks commenced eighteen months ago, when he began to advocate great "American" principles. For these principles he had labored aud suffered, and was prepared to suffer more. Such was the fate of all great beings who were in advance of their age. The Saviour of the world thus suffered; and why should he com plain, thouli he was, like Prometheus, chained to a rock while Democratic vultures tore his liver. He denied the charge of abolition. It was false. Though willing, now that the excitement was over, to forgive what has passed; yet if any man or men charged him with abolitionism or treason to the South, he would defy them and defend his character and honor to the death. He might have acted wrong. He ap pealed to his Christian friends though not much of a Christian himself to remember what he had suffered the hours of agony he had passed, writhing under the attacks of his persecutors. It was under the influence of those feelings that he hud pursued what he confessed to be an "undigniSed course iu the streets of Raleigh." Mr R. then entered upon a statement of his course previous to going to Philadelphia. He read extracts from his letters and speeches, and said they had been garbled by the Demo cratic press. 1 tie extracts read had all been published, und were familiar to all present any way conversant with public affairs. He inadej no attempt to show how or where they had been wrested from their true meauinir. He then entered upon a labored defence of his course. Ha endeavored to show the differ ence between "union"" and usldn declared he was ready to adopt any measures to defeat Buchanan, but denied any wish for Fremont's success. He added nothing new, either of fact or comment, to what is already before the pub lic. His vindication of his conduct iu Phila delphia was received in silence not the slight est evidence of approbation, though the hall was crowded with members of his own party. He evidently felt that his defence had failed, for the remainder of his speech was in a more subdued tone. Towards the close he roused the spirit of his party by a fierce attack upon the Democrats aud the "straight" Fillmore men of Philadelphia. He said a gentleman of his acquaintauce was approached by a 11 emissa ry from Forney, who told him if he would ex ert himself, not for the Democratic party, but for the straight Fillmore ticket, $100,000 would be placed to his credit in any Bank he might select. Mr Rayner told his audience to recollect that the straight Fillmore ticket was the one supported by Mr Sanderson, chairman of the Fillmore committee; a man who, it was well kuown had not heard tiie jingle of a dollar for many a month; yet since the election, he has been able to purchase a house worth $20, 000. Mr R., in his concluding remarks, made the usual charges against the Democrats of being actuated by the love of public plunder He was ready, if his party cashiered him as a cap tain, to carry a musket as a private in the war unou Democracy. He made a pitful appeal to his hearers not to judge him by what he had eaid and done. He did not ask them to "en dorse his sentiments but he implored them to bear witness to the "purity ot his intentions." He took his seat amid some applause, but the appeared ill at ease and dissatisfied with his effort and the effect of it. Mr Outlaw, of Bertie, being called upon, complained that ids name had been nsed iu con nection with this meeting, without his consent. He would not speak, but would bear testimony to the trustworthiness of Mr Rayner, whom he had known for twenty years. Mr Miller, of Raleigh, then spoke. He de fended the "American" party against the charge of abolitionism. He said Gen Harrison, Mr Clay, Gen's Scotjt and Taylor had been called abolitionists; and how could Mr Ray net" hope to escape, sc., Kc. Mr Miller men orancneu off into denunciations of Gov. Adams' attempt to revive the slave trade when we left the meeting. Widows is Kansas. The following inter esting sketch is from a private letter of a Georgian emigrant, to the Savannah Republi can: "But there is another interesting subject out here and that is woman. I would not, for the world, say anything t gainst the dear creatures that is not strictly trae; and when I say that one-fourth of the women are "grass widows," it is so. Here is a bit of romance iu real life: "A young gentleman (call him A ) from South Carolina, got acquainted with 'Miss' (a grass widow, with two husbands living,) fell in love, and they were engaged to be married. Business calls him away, and in the meantime C. gets acquainted, falls iu love, and is engaged to A.'s betrothed, and shortly afterwards they are married. On the day after the marriage, A. returns, but takes things very coolly. At the end of three weeks C.'s bride elopes with A leaving C. in the lurch. A letter informs me that she is again married, and enjoying her fifth hooey-mooc, And all five husbands living." marixe cosrrrit. - Congresa ome time since made a respectable appropriation for the construction of a Marine Hospital and .

The following incident, in the early history of the Rev. Dr. dimming as a London preacher, is given by a gentleman familiar with the facts: Soon after Mr C. was licensed to preach by the Church of Scotland, he came to London in search of a plce to settle ns destitute and insignificsiit as could all be imagined. He had a letter of introduction to a conntryman of his own, a baker living in a plain way, and ofsmall means. After presenting his credentials, he asked him to do what he could for him. "We " have a small church," said his friend, "but not a 'baubee' to pay a minister, but as you are anxious to he employed, stay a month with us, and I will board yon." The young preacher consented, ad at the end of the time found himself well licked, but without n salary at the present, or in prospect. He was then, no doubt as he has since proved himself to be, somewhat of a 'seer," discovering the "signs of the times." "Give me," said he, "the pew rents, and I will always be satisfied with them." "The pew rents," exclaimed his new friend, "why they will not find Bait for thy porridge, man." "1 take them," said he. The bargain remains till this day, and the Doctor's stipend is 6,000 ($30, 000.) American Presbyterian. An Editor Life. An "out West" editor thus moralises on the routine of editorial du ties. Near twenty years constant experience in the "chair editorial" docs not enable ns to deny the "soft impeachment," but the com parisons have amused ns somewhat. Geo. Can., "The poorest blind horse, in the most uncom promising bark mill, has his moments of relaxa tion. To him the sound of the tannery bell, announcing noon, is a tocsin of joy, and he looks forward with gratefnl anticipation to his prandial "oafs and mill feed. TTe wesry round 1s stopped j unlubricated gudgeonsquaver out a last, squeak and cease their complaining; the trace chain rattles over the animal's back, and he attempts a youthful canter as he moves off a happy old horse. With him there are no anticipatory woes; he works in a circle, but a certain num ber of turns are sure to bring a respite. But with the editor it is otherwise; his life is, ns Mr Mantilina feelingly remarks, "one dem'd grind;" his machine never stops. Hot weather, head aches, sickness at home are no relief to his per petual routine, for the paper mnstcorae out' and 'copy mnst be furnished." A 'Rscruitiko' Anecdote Paddy M'Gina kept a public house in Saintfield. He was s fine looking fellow from the understanding up wards, but he had club feet. One evening Paddy was seated in his own parlor, with a. companion or two, over a noggin of whiskey. A recruiting serjeant, who having an eye to business, ftook treat, and over his punch talked largely of the great doings and mighty wonders he had been eye witness of. Paddy was all attention. Ye're tickled with what I have been tellin' you. I am, said Paddy. Yon ought to enlist, followed the other". I don't care if I do, said Paddy. So the Queen's shilling was accepted, which Paddy said they should drink; and thereupon the soildier declared he was just "the man for the array. Now, said Paddy, after the money was spent you've been telling us of wonderful things that you've seen in Indy and them foreign parts. I To be sure I have, said the Serjeant. Paddy jdrew himself hack, and, placing his tight foot on the table, looked coolly 'into the others face, i and said, Did you ever see the fellow of that7 The man of war, starting up amazement, swore i he never did. j Well, then, qnoth Paddy, raising his left foot and placing it alongside of the other, to show thnt they matched, there it is? The se quel msy be guessed The Serjeant accused Paddy of cheating the Queen, which Faddy denied, ince he was ready to march. At length the warrior threw down half a crown, saying they would drink it if the others did not say a word about it, since he need never go back to the army if it were known that he had enlisted such man. The following is said to be a true copy of a shoe-maker's bill, received by a gentleman in a neighboring town, whose family consist of four or five daughters. M. Dr., to J.

Imfortavt to Betting. Men. The Supreme Courts of Ohio and South Carolina have lately decided that the losing party in a wager may recorerfrom the stakeholder the money he may have deposited with him, although the latter, after the determination of the wager, had, by the order of the depesitor, paid the money over to the winner. This- decision of the Coort is destined to effect aa entire revolutIal 'the Betting world. j
