as
at
fulfilling the promises made for lham
the commencement of the enterprise.
The publisher undertook the work with
a firm conviction that the great city of
New York was the best and the true ho me
for a magazine of general literature; that
notwithstanding the failure of many previ
ous attempts to establish such a work, th ?re
could be no impossibility of success with
sufficient capital, perseverance and .he
right system of management both by pub
lisher and editor; stimulated by this con
viction he embarked in the enterprise a nd
he result of the first year has proved tiat
his judgment was, correct.
It has loner ceased to be necessarv, or
reasonable, tha
we snouiu sneatc oi tne
s -
Columbian as
an experiment. At all
events. -it is now an experiment substahti
ally tried. We feel ourselves upon as firm
a basis as anv similar lournal in the world.
Our principle cares now regard not

tiv
secure) as the extension oi our sphere

the present and in the futuie the many

shall undoubtedly have as time rolls on.
We have made arrangements which will
enable us to presentf our frienls with em
bellishments of very superior taste, style
and finish. In this respect it is our Jfrr
purpose, if possible, to outvie all competi
tion. Our music and engravings, we con
fidently believe, will not be equalled v ?ry
certainly they shall not be surpassed in
real merit by those of any other msga
zine. We propose to give each month
two or more superb engravings, indepen
dently of two pages of music, by the rr ost
eminent composers, and a plate of authen
tic fashions.
Regarding the literary and editorial con
duct of the Columbian, the publisher, does
not feel called upon lo say more than a ve
ry few words. The general management
of this department is, as heretofore, enti us
ted to a gentleman possessing every tjtiali
fication for the task, and who has gi en
abundant evidence, not only of the highest
ability to put forth a meritorious magazine,
but of the ability to put forth a magaaine
exactly adapted to the tastes. of our readers.
i he publisher, therefore, has every confi-
uence that what has already been done
the literary value of the journal will
done again. We are perfectly willing
our future in this repect shall be q-1 i

With the aid of these contributors, (of
whom ii is needless to say one word in fthe
way of commendation.) and of numerous
thers perhaps equally meritorious if less
celebrated, who have promised us their
support, we flatter ourselves that, as a liter
ary work, the Columbian need be under1 no
apprehension of being excelled.
Butwhat we have done is already he
fore the public, who will not fail to judge
us with impartiality ; and in respect to wh;t
we intend to do, it will be both wiser and
more becoming (altho less fashionable) not
to boast We may be prrmitted to assure
pur friends in brief, hovever that we have
matured numerous plans (lor the third vol
ume) with which we ft el confident they will
be pleased. It is our purpose to put forth
every energy; and it will be no fault of our
own if the Columbian shall not be found at
least equal to any magazine, of any class
or price, in Amerjca. ,j

WtOSptttUB Of tf)t
Congressional Glebe and Appendix.
These works have such a wide circula
tin, and have been so iiniverselly approv
ed and sou'ght after by the public, that we
deem it necessary only, in uhis prospectus
to say that they will be continued at the
neTtt session of Congress, and to state, suc
cinctly, their contents, the form in which
they will be printed, and the prices for
them.,
The Congressional Globe, is made up of
the daily proceedings of the two Houses of
Congress. The speeches of the members
are condensed to bring them into a reada
ble length. All the resolutions offered, or
motions made, are given in the mover's
own words; and the yeas and nays on all
the important questions. It is printed
with small type brevier and nonpareil
on a dDuble royal sheet, in quarto form,
each number containing i6 royal quarto
p.gej.
The Appendix is made up of the Presi
dent's annual message, the reports of the
principal officers of the government that
accompany it, and all the long speeches of
members of Congress, written out or revi
sed by themselves. It is printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe, and
usually makes about the same number of
pages.
The approach of a Congress which will
discuss for the American people all the
most important questions ever entertained
by the national councils, and new and ex
traordinary measures never before fully
ventured upon, has induced the publishers
of the Globe to make greater and better
preparation than heretofore for reporting
and publishing the speeches and proceed
ngs of the next session. ?
All persons who may desire either, or
both of these works, should subscribe for
them by the 10th of December, else they
may fail lo get them. Persons are still
subscribing ibr the Congressional Globe for
the last session ot Congress, and we have
not been able to furnish a complete copy of
it since early in the session. rWe wili send
the Congressional Globe for the approach
ing session to any person who will return
to us all the numbers of it for the last ses
sion. We usually print'double as many
copies as we have subscribers at the com
mencement of a session, and then, perhaps,
in a few weeks they will all, be exhausted.
We say again, that those who want the
Congressional Globe, or the Appendix,
must subscribe and send the money for
them by the 10th of December, else they
will not probably get them.
As some persons who may Teceive this
prospectus may wish to subscribe for our
regular papers, through which we speak,
we will here state that we publish a daily
paper at JSIO; a semi-weekly paper at $5;
and a weekly paper, with a complete in
dex to it, at $2 a year, payable in ad
vance. We publish our prospectus in this form,
so that our friends who may interest them
selves in obtaining subscriptions for us,
may cut it out and attach writing-paper to
write the names of subscribers upon. We
would send them a separate prospectus,
printed on printing-paper, If it were not
that many postmasters charge Jetter post
age on such. Persons obtaining subscri
bers for us may retain every sixth dollar
they collect that is, they may send to us
only $5 for six copies of either work, or
for six copies made up of both (say for
three copies of each) or for one, two, three,
four or five ot one, and one of the. other.
Terms.
For the Congressional Globe, $1 per
copy.
For the Appendix, 1 per copy.
Six copies of either of the above works
will be sent for $5; twelve copies for $10:
and so on in proportion for a greater num
ber. Payments may be transmitted by mail,
postage paid, at our risk. ' By a rule of
the ' Post Office Department, postmasters
are nermitted to frank letters writteu by

To Miss , on the death of her Father.
Fair Lady! cease thy weeping,
- Dry up those lustrous eyes;
Thy Father's only sleeping,
An angel in the skies.
Let not the hand of sorrow,
Give thee a moment's pain;
The end of Time's to morrow,
When you will meet again.
Yes, fair Lady! thou art yet,
To grace thy woman's name; .
AH thv mournings to'forget,
And be once more the same.
Though cruel old Winter's blastr
May droop the lily's head; -
Winter does not always last,
To desolate iis brd.
When the merry robin's breatn,
Proclaims the spr ing begun; i
It quickly forgets its death, 1
And rises with the sun.
Then, Lady ! cease thy weeping,
Dry up those lustrous eyes,
Thy Father s only sleeping,
An angel in the skies. j

REVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF
NOR I H CAROLINA.
Executive Office, )
Raleigh, March 6th, 1845. S
The Undersigned most respectfully in
vites public notice to the following Reolii
tion, adopted by the General Assembly at
lis iasL session, viz;
Resolved, that his Excellency, the Gov
ernor, be, and he is hereby auihorizet
and unpowered to collect, if possi
ble, such papers, as may be necessary to
complete the series of Letter Books, and
have them copied and arranged, under his
supervision; and to obtain as far as prac
ticable, either the original .papers, or cop
ies of the prooceedings of the severa
Town, County, and District Committees
organized in the province, in compliance
with the recommendation of the Conuncn
tal Congress ol 1774, for the purpose of car
ryinginto effect the Articles of American
Association, and-nhe proceedings ol the va
rious Committees and Council of Safety,
subsequently convened under, the authori
ty of the Provincial Legsslature, &c.
It wili be observed that the Resolution
require? the collection of two! classes o
Documents:
1st. The Correspondence of the execu'
tive Department, from the adoption of the
Constitution in 1776 till the latter part o
17S4; when it was first made the duty o
the Governor, by Act of the tenerai As
sembly, to keep a Letter Book, for the
purpose bf recording all important letters
This period embraces the entire Adminis
tration of the three first Governors, vizrCas
well, Nash & Burke. The Correspondence
of Gov. Burke exists, as I am informed,
in a good state of preservation, and ran be
readily obtained. A part of that of Gov. Cas
well, has been found in the Department of
State, Mnce the ad journment of the legis
lature corresponding in the Nos. of the
packages & in other particulars, with a me morandum
left by him of his public papers,
stated to have been deposited irt that Office;
and the residue, U is believed, are also there.
Of the papers of Governor Nash, none
hav been as yet discovered, except Letters
written to him by the Board of War of the
Slate, which held its session first at Hills
boro', and subsequently at Halifax, from
the 14th of September, 1780, until the
30th of January, 17SI, copies of which are
recorded on the Journal ofthe Board, pre
served in the Department of State. Fre
quent entries also appear on that Journal,
of letters said 10 have-been received from
him, and "numbered and filed," but not
copied. As his death occurred but a few
years after his Administration, and during
the early childhood of his only surviving
son, this gentleman, in reply , to inquiries
from me, is unable to give any information -j
respecting them. .it yet in existence, oc noi
among the cr.assesol old Documents in the
Capitol, they may, most probably, be found
in the Tovvn of New Bern, the residence of
