PROSPECTUS
FOR PUBLISHING A MONTHLY PAPER
IN BALTIMORE, TO BE c AI.LED
the CULTURIST.
On subjects co nnccted with Agriculture, to include
nn Emigrants’ Department, containing such in
formation a.i may he useful to persons making a
settlement i n the West, or seeking new fields of
agricultural enterprise.
TilE SUBSCRIBER proposes to issue a
monthly aheet, in quarto form, of sixteen pa
ges, on huatiandrv, pastoral affairs, ami kindred
subjects :—a portion of the paper to be occupied
with notices geographical, statistical and historical
of such portions of the West as will be of most in
terest to Western settlers, and also of portions of
the South.
Agricultu re is the most ancient occupation of
man. It is also the moat useful, the most indepen
dent, the happiest, the most healthy, the most pro
fitable and t he most honorable.
Hut this is not all. Agriculture comprehends in
itself more science, than any other occupation in
the whole circle of human pursuits and industry.
Geology, chemistry, vegetable physiology, all make
a part of tlic thorough knowledge of this most ex
tensive and useful art. They are indeed but the
beginnings of the vast field of knowledge contain
ed within it. So that if a man can he a thorough
agriculturist, he will be in the large sense of the
word a learned man.
Partners however have been, to a great extent,
opposed to what they called science, or book-farm
ing, from a mistaken idea that whatever was in
print was merely spec illative, and matter of theory.
If it were so indeed, they would be right in con
demning it. It is however a mistaken idea. Sci
ence is the result of experience and practice. It is
the ripe harvest of fat Is, rouped not by one man in
one field, but gathered by all the laborers through
out all the harvest fields of the earth in year after
year frutn the beginning.
E very intelligent farmer likes to talk to hlsncmh
or, and draw advantage from his experience* —
This experience is no 1cm valuable fur brine- de
livered to him in print, by types, than if it should
be given to him by his neighbor, by word of mouth.
It 1* the #mmo thing*.
Skill in the manual of hoeing and ploughing can
never make a farmer. It. makes only an apprentice
in the art. Since the multiplication of agricultu
ral papers and societies in this country, there has
been a great improvement in the state of agricul
ture. s
It is designed to give j„ this paper alt useful gen
eral intelligence relatin g to rural affairs and econ
omy, whether of implements, stocks, seeds, modes
of culture, articles of cultivation, soil*, or fertilizers*
and such discoveries of srieace as may assist light
en and make more profitable the hardy and hon
orable toil of the farmer.
A secondary object will be to give information to
persons making settlement in the West: from per
sonal knowledge mostly-so that they will be aide
to make judicious selections, and proceed in the es
tablishing of 1 heir new h- mes to best advantage,
and some description of the lands of Marvland and
Virginia, with the modes of renovating them.
The price will be one dollar, invariably in ad
vance.

ers who subscribe for one hundred ronic-e or more
will be supplied at #75 per hundred. '

The patent galvanic rings, &
MAGNETIC FLUID.—This remarkable dis
rovery has received the universal approbation of
the Medical Profession of Great Britain, and has
been sufficiently Ionbefore the American public
to give a luir trial of its power and efficacy. The
I A I EN I G ALV A NIC KINGS have been found to
answer all tho purposes for which ordinaly Galvan
ic Battery or Electric and Magnetic Machines are
used, but are without any of tlie injurious shocks
winch accompany the applications by those instru
ments. and in many other respeols are more sate
and certain in accomplishing the desired object.
The Galvanic Rings have been used with perfect
success in all cases of Rheumatism, acute or chron
ic, applying to the head, face or limbs; Gout, Tic
Dolorcux, Toothache, Bronchitis, Vertigo, Nervous
or Sick Headache, Indigestion, Paralysis, Palsy,
I Epilepsy, Fits, Cramp, Palpitation of fhc Heart!
Apoplexy, Stiffness of Joints, Lumbago. Neuralgia
General Debility. Deficiency of Nervous Energy! I
and all Nervous Disorders. In cases of confirmed |
Dyspepsia they have been successful. Their extra
ordinary effects upon the system must b# witnessed
to be believed; and as a certain preventive for
the til rove complaints they ure equally to he recom
mended. I he Galvanic Rings are in every way
perfectly harmless, and are sold at prices to be
within the roach of all. Cristik’b Magnetic Ft-um
is used in connection with the Rings, to render
their efficient action certain, and to direct the Gal
vanic influence to the particular portions which are
affected.
For numerous certificates of the highest charac
ter regarding the efficacy of the Galvanic Kin"-*
and Magnetic Fluid, reference ia made to former
advertisements, or they may bo seen at the office.

sion of Congress, they will begin the publication of
tho “ Congressional Union” and “Appendix/*_
The first will contain a full and accurate-history of
th daily proceedings of both branches of the na

care, that every citizen who ia interested in the
public affairs will find it a complete synopsis of
their proceedings, ami a ready l>ook of reference
upon all questions which come neforc them.
The second, (the “ Appendix,”) will contain
every speech which is delivered in the House off
Representatives and Senate during the session*, re
ported at length hy a full and able corps of •con
gressional reporters, and revised before publication
by the authors, whenever it is requested. These
two works will be strictly impartial, and are in
tended to be as interesting and useful to the man
of business, and to the politician of the one party,
as of the other. *
The Daily, Semi-weekly, and Weekly Union,
will, as usual, embrace an interesting variety of
matter on political, scientific, and literary subjects,
along with current news of tho day. The editor
will continue to devote all his energies to the im
provement of ” The Union.” Htc finds many ac
complished men in this city. The administration •
has brought with it a considerable accession of tal
ents. Several tried and distinguished members of
the democratic party have accepted office under it.
Some of them have liberally contributed their liter
ary labors to our benefit; and we hope to enlist oth
ers in our service. Resides, the time is not far dis
tant when the editor intends to call other talents to
his assistance. His ambition is, to make his papsr
worthy of the metropolis of the Union.
We feci a deep sense of gratitude for the prompt
manner in which our political friends in every sec
tion of tho country have already come forward to
sustain th<^ ” Union?”
May we not hope that our friends throughout the
United States will continue to assistour labors, and
prevail upon their friends to take some one edition
of the “ Union.”
