THE
r
Columbian Magazine,
FOR 18 45.
Prospectus for the Second Year
At the close of his second volume, the
magazine having been commenced on the
first of January, 184, the publisher finds
himself irresistibly called on to express ihe
satisfaction and gratitude with which he
has been filled by the brilliant and um?x
amp led success that has attended his endea
vors to wid the public favor. Notwyh
standing the difficulties, disappointments
and vexations that almost invariably ol
lowthe establishment of a new 'periodical,
in the production of which there mut b
the harmonious co operation of m ny
heads and many hands notwithstanding
occasionally short-comings, especially! ' in
the nictoFial dennrtment. which no care or
diligence could avert and no expenditi
prevent, the Columbian Magazine h is gpne
on steadily increasing in support and pop
ularity from the opening numbtt, am
the unbought unsolicited testimony of
press may be received as unswayed
partiality and unrTiassed by friendship.
ii
the
r
the
efforts of contributors and editor have Meen
satisfactory to the public ami accep'etfl
a
at
tulhllin? the oromises made tor mem
the commencement of the enterprise.
The publisher undertook the work vnth
a firm conviction that the reat city ol
New York was the best and the true home
for a magazine of general literature; lhat
notwithstanding the failure of many previ
ous attempts to establish such a work, there
could be no impossibility of success with
sufficient capital, perseverance anrK the
right system- of management both by pub
lisher and editor: stimulated bv this ton
viction he embarked in the enterprise
he result of the first year has proved
his judgment was correct.
It has long ceased to be necessary
reasonable, that we should speak of
Columbian as an experiment. At
and
fthat
or
thn
all
events, it is now an experiment substanti
ally tried. We feel ourselves upon as firm
a basis as any similar journal in the world.
Our principle cares now regard, n.
much the securing what ground we
so
nave
gained (for we consider this sufficiently
secure) as the extension of our, sphers of
action and utility not so much, even the
"mere enlargement of our subscription list,
as the most suitable modes of catering for
the amusement (and shall we say occasion
ally for the profit?) of our subscribers in
the present and in the rutin e ihe rriany
whom we have, and the rmny more we!
nail unaouoien.y nave as ume ro..s on.
We have made arran;emens which

Dumose. if possible, to outvie all
competi
tion. Our music and engravings, welcon
fidently believe, will not be equ died very
certainly they shall not be surpassed in
real merit by those of any other maga
zine. We propose to givfe each month
two or more superb engravings, indt pen-,
dently of two pages of music, by the most
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 to say. more than a vej
ry few words. The general management
of this department is, as heretofore, ertrusl
ted to a gentleman possessing every c ualr
fication for the task, and who has iveh
abundant evidence, not only of the hi ghest
ability to put forth a meritorious magazine
but of the ability to put foi th a magpzin
exactly adapted to the tastes of our reapers
The publisher, therefore, has everv confii
dence that what has already been done fqf
iiib iiierary vaiue oi tne journal will of
done again. We are perfectly willing that
our future in this repect shall be estima
ted by our joa. The subjoined list of
those who have furnished articles tort the
Columbian during the by-gone year wi jl
satisfy, we feel assured, the most fasti Jioujs
that we are resolute to spare in no particu
lar neither exertion or expense.

A NORTH CAROLINA BABY.
We have just seen one of the greatest
natural curiosities of the day, viz: a child,
who will not be eight years of age until
July next, and who weighs 177 lbs!
more than the celebrated Daniel Lambert
weighed at the same age. He measures
round the waist 45 inches round the hips
47 the thighs, 26 the knees 18
neck. 17$ and his height is 4 feet
8i inches! There's a specimen for you,

Mr. William Stringer, of this City, has
made an engagement with his father,
and left here yesterday for the Northern
Cities, with a view of exhibiting him
to the public. He is a curiosity that
will vie with Tom 'Thumb ; and Ma

all who may visit him.
JA Letter received in this city from;
Murfressborough, (N. C.) under date of
March 24, 1845, says: j
'On Thursday night, (March 20th, j
about 10 P. M., a large meteor was obseH
ved in the zenith, which exploded sudden4
ly, with a noise at first like thunder, and
soon after the noise resembled the . dia-j
charge of heavy artillery, and afterwards o j
musketry. In this village it seemed to be
directly overhead. The same appearance!
and reports were perceived at a placef
about fiftv miles south of this village. Ill

intend to pulish a statement of the case, as
decided in the Supreme Court, relative to
Mr Rives and the Portsmouth land Koan

than the opinion declared on that occasion.
Bv the decision of the Court, Mr. Rives
has sole control of the road, land & franchi
ses of all that part of the Road that lies
within the limits of North Carolina, and
has foi bidden all travel thereon. All com
