The undersigned intend to publish in the tow a of Oxford, Graorille Co N. CM a weekly newipt per of the ahore title. In aoliciticg the patronage of the public, he deemi it hit duty to elate, a well hie motiret for commencing tucb a publication, a alao the manner in which it will be cooductod. He bff the public to rely on what be My a, tod to be at. tured that ihey may certainly e i peel all that i promised.

The underaigned ha therefore thought that a paper ailuatedin Oiiford,wbibia nearly intbe centre of thit racancyr would afford great facilitie and adV rantage In lbiemn:r unity, aide from it merit of a political, mitcellaneout, and literary charter. In addition lo tbit, the northern mail arrivet here it aoon, or eooner, than it doea in Raleigh, and the ia per eoald thut tpread through the country the la teet new from Washington, and from the north quicker than it could portibly be obtained from any other periodical, or publication in tbe State o that y 'tt were to lie notbihg but a mere Irnnicrlpt of the Utet intelligence, it would be almoat a a uable to thit community a tbe Washington Intel ligencer or Globe,and would be betide much cheap er. . . But the underlined intend that it thall he in ferior to none in the State either in point of me chanical execution or editorial ability.

Mr. Wilt it alto a firm and eon. tittent Whig, and although the Mercury will b by no mean, what i called a political paper, in com mon language, et,it will be ever found advocating tbe distinctive tenet of the wtlg party, and tbe gen 'Otoe principle of 'OS and 99. Every thing, how ever, like party rancour, party prejudice, and mis representation, will be excluded from the column of the Mercury, The editor isjone of Ihote who be lieve no party it alwayt right, and who i- not dis pwed to look on all, who'dtfTer with him' in bit o pininn, a blinded, coriupt, etc. If all ptrtire were di'craded at they represent each other to he.they woutb be fallen indeed, and all our bnatte d free in-' titutiont, nay til the restraint ol law, national, civil, md divint, would toon, be prostrated in the whirlwind of contend ing passion, like rootles t;ubble before the (weeping blal.

The hemisphere of the present age is stud ded all over with such pcntla "and patines ! of bright gold," as never shone before in the heavens of the human soul, in these latter days, the waves of time have washed up from depths thai angels never Tathomud, "gems ol fiurer light serene" than wete ever worn he me in the crown of man. We are now but halfway advanced in a new cycle of human history. The race is but just emerging from the long-reaching shadows of an iron age, and coming out into the starlight and sunlight of new influences. It, as we are assured, scores of new stars have taken rank with the heaAenly hosts, during the last two centuries stars brighter than they, have, in the same period, kindled tip new lights in the moral fiirmnmcnt. Among these new stars, one a little lower than that of Bethleham, had just appeared above the horizon. It is the Star of Woman's Influence. Influential Wo man is a being of scarcely two centuries: np to that period, and almost hitherto, lierinflu- J encca have alien up? society, like the foeUIe ray pt a rising win tor's sun upon polar Melds nf ice. But her sun is reaching upward. There is a ptorious meridian to which she shall a surely come as to-morrow's rising sun shall reaeit his in our natural heavens. Whut man wilt be, when she shall shine upon him then and thence, we are unable to divine; but we can found an Anticipation from the influences of her dawning rays. Her mornmg light has gilded the visions of hti mat) hope, and silver ed over the night shadows of human sorrow. There has been no depth of human misery beyond the reach of her ameliorating influ. enre, nor any height of human happiness which she has not raised still higher. Who ever ban touched at either ... f. these extremi" ties, "of at Mf of ' their intemningwinii, could attest that " neither height nor depth, nor principalities nor powers, northings pres ent or to come," could divert or vitiate the accenta and anodynes of her love. Whether we trace the lineaments of her character in tlve mild twilight of iier-morniog aunor in the living beams or her risen day, we find that she has touched human society like an angle. It would be irreverent to her worth . . .a a j I 1 ill to gay. In what walks 01 me sne nas waiKea most like an jingle of light and love; in what vicissitudes, in what joys or sorrows, in what situations or circumstances, she has most signally discharged .the heavenknjinis trations of her mission; what ordeals have best brought out the radiance of her hidden jewels; what fruitions of earthly bliss, or furnaces of affliction, have best declared the fineness of her gold. Stilt there is scene, which has escaped 4,the vulture's eye," and almost every other eye, where she has cast forth her costliest pearls, and shown such qualities of her native character as. almost merit our . adoration. This scene has been allotted to the drunk-arcT$ wife.

'V ( A GOURMAND. . The following is a passage from Mag Dog's amusing Cookery book relating to a -Mr. Rogerson, so enthusiast in the science of -eating, and she says a marryn "He, as may be presumed, was educated at the University, where the rudiments of palatic science are the most thoroughly itn- f ressed on the ductile organs of the youth. lis father, a gentleman of Gloucestershire, seat hha. ahtaad. ta make, the grand tour, u p...-.,: on which journey he attended to nothing 'but -the various modes of cookery, and method of eating and drinkin? luxuriantly,:!.

In nine years he found his table dieadfully abridged by the ruin of his fortune, and himself hastened to poverty. This made him melancholy, and brought on disease,- When totally ruined, (having spent -1 50,000.) s -friend gave hinv guinea tt keep htm from starving, and he was found in a garret soon after roasting an ortolon with his own hands.

A young man has each night at least four hours before retiring to rest, which he might occupy in reading v and writing. Now say he goes into busi ness at the age of twenty, and remains un married five years, he will then have for mental application during this time seven . thousand three .hundred, hours.
