GARDKXEK' 1 ’ A\D FARMER’S CALENDAR.
“ It is one tiling to make, and another to
gave”—applies as well in farming and garden
ing as in any thing else. Nature has been
bountiful in bestowing good crops, but unless
man is careful in saving them, he will be little
benefitted by this bounty.
Dig Potatoes —and cover them immediately
from the atmosphere. Some throw them in a
pile, in the cellar or on the ground, and cover
them well with sand or earth. <J hers first
cover them with straw, and then with earth.— •
Others again pack them in boxes or barrels, j
placed in the cellar, or smoke house, or other se
cure place, and then cover deep with dry earth.
The <_ r rcat object appears to bo to guard them
from frost and from the atmosphere.
Beets, Carrots, Parsnips, 'Pum ps, &c. <kc.
mav he served in the same way.
Cabbages and collards are usually preserved
through the winter, by burying the root and stalk
up to the head, in the ground under a shed, or in
the bottom of a cellar. Temporary sheds of
pine boughs arc sometimes built over them.
Make ample provision fur your cattle ; for we
prognosticate from the hue of tne comet, a hard
winter and late spring. Preserve your corn
shucks in pens well secured from the rain. It you
have wheat or rye straw to mix fre'-ly wi: h them,
bo much the better, ihe straw will preserve the
shucks from moulding ; and the shucks give a
flavor to the straw, that will render the whole
very toothsome to your cuttle, in thecouJ morn
ings of February.
Pea vines mav be served in the same wa\.
Peas themselves raw or boiled, are excellent
food for stock. It is presumed you ba\e laid in
a good stock for winter s use.
As long as this mild weather continues, you
can save bay. Pull up the grass by hand, it
you choose; ur with with a reap hook. I>ut the
better plan is to got a scythe at once, and mow
it. One hand with a scythe can mow enough
in a day to last a cow through the winter. —Dry
it moderately, and put it away in your barn, or
in stacks. If a ventilator is fixed up through the
middle, it may be stacked quite green, without
moulding.
Sow plenty of Wheat. Since good bolting
mills have been erected, it is proved that as fine
flour may he made in Georgia as in any part ot
the country. There are many advantages in a
wheat crop : it furnishes a good pasture in the
winter for stock. It the sen on is.l;i\oinhle it
yields a profitable crop. Ihe straw will pay
for the seed and the trouble : and thcgi.un is a
clear profit. After the gram is removed in the
spring, the ground will afford a fine pastuio du
rin" the summer ; or it will do to ue planted in
corn or peas.
Rye and Barley are also valuable crops, and
ft is not vet too late to sow. Manure your
ground well, though, it you would expect a very
large crop.
Jones Co. October, 1832.
Mr. Editor: —lu the second number of the
Southern Planter 1 noticed some remarks on the
evil of pulling leaves from plants. I will here
Htate a fact that came under my own observation.
Oneofmv neighbors a year or two ago had
several vines in his garden, and (hoy promised
an abundance of grapes. About the time they
began to turn, he was advise I to strip oil the
leaves, so that the sun could get to them. He
did so ; but the grapes all shrivelled up, and the
vines themselves died—which I think was in
consequence of losing their leaves —though it
did not suggest itself to me at the time.
In this business as well as many others, “ too
much doctoring kills the child. lu general,
our grape vines are too much pruned. hen
pruned close, too much sap is carried into fruit,
the flavor of which is destroyed or it rots and
falls off. 1 have in my garden one vine of the
Warrenton variety (as lam told.) It is about
12 years old, extends on an arbor 30 feet each
way. 1 have been in the habit of pruning it
pretty close —whenever 1 do so, the grapes are
not so fine in flavor, they are more disposed to
rot, and the vine does not produce so many.—
This year, I did not prune at all—and the result
was, mv grapes were very superior, and the
vine yielded double what it had ever done be
fore. I sinccrelv believe 1 could have made (50
gallons of wine from one solitary vine !
In colder climates, where the growth is slow
er, more pruning may be necessary ; hut in this
climate, where vegetation is so rapid, I think the
vines ought not to be pruned too close. — Ibid.
FROM TIIK GENESEE FARMER.
Vegetation. —The celebrated Dr. John Mason
Good, when w riting on the different stimulants
contained in the atmosphere which are benefi
cial to vegetation, says, “ Ammonia is a good
stimulus, but oxygen possesses far superior pow
ers, and hence without sente portion of oxygen
few plants can ever be made to germinate.—
Hence, too, the use of cow dung and other ani
inal recrements, which consist of muriatic acid
and ammonia: while in fat, oil, and other fluids
that contain little or no oxygen, and conssist al
together, or nearly so, of hydrogen and carbon,
seeds may he confined for ages without exhibit,
ing anv germination whatever. And hence, a
gain, and the fact deserves to be extensively
known, however torpid a seed may be, and des
titute of all power to vegetate in any other sub
stance, if steeped in a diluted solution of oxy
geneated muriatic acid, at a temperature of a
bout 4(5 or 48 degrees of Fahrenheit, provided
it still possess its principle of vitality, it will ger
minate in a few hours. And if, after this, it be
planted as it ought to be, in its appropriate soil,
it will grow with as much speed and vigor as if
it had evinced no torpitude whatever.”
In the latter part of 182(5, I received several
packe’s of seeds which had come from the Cape
of Good Hope and New South Wales, with part
of which I made several efforts on various plans
to cause their vegetation, but I was invariably
unsuccessful. The residue by chance were put
in my trunks, and there remained until the fall of
1828, when I first read Dr. Good’s method. I
immediately made the experiment, and with the
greater part 1 was perfectly successful.

The Joiinml

tiitfi History of the Times,
BY M. D. J. SLADE, OF MACON, Ga.
“ Lege totum, sci ids scire tot inn.'' —“ Read all, if you
would know all.”
'’ll HE people of Georgia are much in want of a me
dium of intelligence which will promptly transmit
to them the “ Proceedings” of their Legislature. We
are not only generally, but individually concerned in all
acts of legislation, because these acts involve personal
as well as political rights, between which there ex
ists a most intimate connexion. It is the interest then,
of every man in the community to be timely acquainted
with the action of our representatives upon these rights.
This is a desideratum —to supply which the Journal is
intended. At the present we labor under much incon
venience for the want of it. For near, and sometimes
more than three months after the expiration of the Ses
sion, the Laws of the State, with a few exceptions, are
as a “ sealed Book” to the great mass of the people ; and
frequently, such tire the injurious effects produced by
this delay, that men have been known, who, in obe
dience to a preceding, have actually violated a subse
quent law which had been reversed or modified —not
knowing that a new had been submitted for an old law.
In addition to the entire proceedings of the Legisla
ture, the Journal and History, will contain the gener
al intelligence of the day, and its interest will be in
creased bv faithful reports of the transactions of the
important Re dress Convention of Georgia, which con
templates sitting in Milledgeville, the ensuing session.
The Debates in the Convention, as well as those in the
Legislature, will be regularly and correctly reported;
for which purpose arrangements are making with a ca
pable and experienced Stenographer.
The Journal and History of the Times, will be pub
lished daily, and the Legislative and Conventional Pro
cecdings of each day laid in extenso betore the public on
the subsequent morning, and immediately transmitted
to any part of the Statu to which the paper may be or
dered.
The largo and interesting mass of information which
this Publication will contain, and the great expense
which must be incurred to carry it into operation will
require a liberal patronage, and such a patronage the
editor flatters himself will be extended to him.
It is unnecessary to enlarge on the convenience and
important utility of such a publication to members of the
Legislature, in enabling them to ascertain immediately
the precise state of any measure in which they are in
terested and to keep their constituents advised of the
progress of public business, without the abstraction of
time and attention from their special duties, expended
in letter writing.
Terms. — The Journal and History of the Times will
be publised daily with a new type, by machinery, to be
expressly procured for the purpose and on good paper,
and will be put to subscribers at the price of Five Dol
lars per session, payable on the reception of the first
number.
O” Those to whom subscription lists will be sent are
respectfully asked to lend their exertions and influence
to the undertaking, and to make a return of any subscri
bers which may be obtained, by the 1 Oth day of Octo
ber. They are particularly requested to do so, that the
Editor may lie enabled to make the proper arrangements,
and to furnish promptly the first numbers to each sub
scriber.

Some difficulties were anticipated from the novelty of
the thing and from a want of firmness in parents ; but if
they will do their duty, no fears need be entertained about
the success and usefulness of such establishments.

account of this arrangement, eight more students may be
admitted after Ist of July, the commencement of the se

will be arected. ’v
The terms and regulations are as heretofore, viz :
1. The course of studies to occupy three years.
2. Each student to labor three hours per day.
3. Board, washing and tuition for Ist year, 090 ; for
the 2d .075 ; for the 3d 050. Payment half yearly in

i PROSPECTUS
OF THE
HAWK I BViLLE ADVOCATE.
THE Undersigned design, as early as a sufficient
number of subscribers can be obtained, to publish
in the town of Hawkinsville, Pulaski county, Georgia, a
paper under the above title.
In the whole Southern Circuit, although it extends over
f ar m ore territory than any other in the State, there is
not printed a single paper. Surely this Circuit has not
resolved to be behind every other m the -State, m the
march of improvement! While, then, the citizens ot
everv other Circuit, have the pleasure of receiving by
each mall, papers printed within their limits, may we
not, with reason, indulge the sanguine expectation, that
our citizens, as also those of other Circuits, (to whose
papers they contribute a liberal patronage) will bounti
fully aid in the support of this attempt to establish a pa
per in this place, and contribute much to its circulation .
Hawkinsville has been so rapid in its growth, and has
already risen to so much importance, in a commercial
points of view, as now to render it the most important
town in the -Southern Circuit. W hat place, then, could
or would be more suitable tor the establishing and sup
porting a paper?
It has become the fashion, for those who make propo
sals for editintr a paper, to declare their political creed ;
that all may know by their colours, on which side they
will tight.' The undersigned, without censuring such
example, will follow it in part only. They, therefore,
declare themselves to be native Georgians, A that while
thev design to steer clear of extremes, they no less ior
ventlv hope to be ever found on the side of the peo
ple, the true democracy ot the State. Prudence
might require them to stop here : but they ieel ton
strained to go farther. The various and momentous
questions, which agitate to the very centre, our po
litical connexion as sovereign States, and the fear,
ful encroachments of the United States’ Government
(more especially us manifested by the late decision of
its Supreme Court,) which like some dreadful yawning
gulph, threaten the most awful and ruinous consequences,
demand of every true patriot, and advocate of his conn
try, to he at his post, and like the faithful w atchman,
to tell when all’s well, or every hope is past. With what
disinterestedness and deep devotedness have not the
Southern people ever been attached to a just and cquit
able union of the States ? How many concessions, and
what convincing sacrifices have they not made, and will
they not even yet make, as peace offerings upon the al
tar'of social harmony ! But it has been justly said,
that a cold, calculating, selfish policy, like the Israelites’
rod, is swallowing up every better feeling, and calling
upon all to fall down and worship this “golden image,”
as he only true and living Uiety. Whatever may be the
course of others, while the undersigned truly hope, that
our excellent Constitution, our once happy Union, and
tiie high destiny to which, under happy auspic.es, it may
aspire, will not merely we like some golden age, as a song
in the memory ot posterity ; they trust in the fervor ot
their hearts to he found ever contributing their poor
and humble mite to resist encroachment, in whatever
shape it may come, and oppression under whatever co
lors disguised, till every hope, shall expire in the last
entrenchment of their country.
Perhaps they ought to avow, their deep devotion to
the political principles of W ashington and Jefferson,
and the unblemished principles of those who have
been an ornament and glory to their country ; and more
especially their cordial and warm support of the Hero
who has gathered never dying laurels, both in the field
and in the cabinet. But professions alone are vain. Ihe
undersigned hope to be judged ot by their acts.
As to the politics of the State, amid chance or
change, or the violence and heat ot party dissentions,
they faithfully promise with calmness and coolness, to
discuss the measures of each and every party, in the
spirit of candor. And whether praise or censure be their
object, they will never follow any other light but that of
truth—they will never have any other guide, but that
of honor. With these in view, they will hold as dust
in the balance any unjust or unmeaning censure.
No inconsiderable portion of their paper shall he de
voted to general literature, with whatever may im
prove, adorn or refine the mind ; and more especially
to Agriculture; on the successful improvement in which,
freed from burdensome taxation, mainly depend the
happiness, prosperity and glorv of the Southern country.

QOIiB AAB LAND MAP
OF THE COUNTY OF CHEROKEE.
TV HAVE now in the hands of the Engraver, which will
H be completed by the first of November next, a gene
ral and accurate Map of the Cherokee Country, drawn
.from the returns of the District Surveyors. Owing to the
great number of Lots, into which the country has been
divided, particularly the Gold Region, and the large di
inension of the sheet it will require, to have all those
numbers distinctly and accurately laid down, I have tho’t
it advisable to form the Map into separate and detached
Sections; whicli I designate as Gold Map Land Map.
All the Land Districts in the Territory are laid down
on one sheet, and constitute a distinct and separate Map
by themselves.
The districts reserved and surveyed as Gold Districts,
are divided into three sheets or Maps. Districts No. 1,
2,3, 4, 5,11, 12,13, 14, and 15, of the first section, form
the first Map.
Districts No. 1,2, 3,44, 15,16, 17, 18,19, 20, 21, and
22, of the second section, form the second Map.
Districts No. 1,2, 3,4, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22, of
the third section, and Districts No. 1,2, 3,16, and 17,
of the fourth section, form the third Map. On these
Maps will be found each District in the Territory, with
every square Lot of Land and Fraction distinctly laid
down and numbered—ail Mountains, Rivers, Creeks,
Branches. Roads, Ferries, ccc. are correctly and faithful
ly delineated.
The Map wdl be handsomely engraved, printed on
strong silk paper, colored and put up in morocco eases
at the following prices, viz :
Land Map, $5 00
Gold Maps .$3 50 each, or forthe three, $lO 00
For Gold and Land Maps, comprising the
whole Territory, sls 00
Persons desirous of obtaining this valuable Map will
do well to inform the publisher soon, as but a limited
number can be obtained Airing the drawing of the Lot

All communications addressed to the subscriber in
Milledgeville, Ga. {postagepaid of course,) will meet
with prompt attention. ORANGE GREEN.

TO THE PUBIiHL
I HAVE heretofore declined making any public
statement in regard to rny connexion with the Bank
of Macon, and did intend to h ive remained silent on
that subject until the meeting of the legislature, when
it was my intention to solicit the appointment of a com.
mittec from that body to examine into its affairs, and re.
port the cause of its failure. But learning that variow,
false, and malicious rumors are in circulation, in differ,
cut parts of the country, which are calculated to do m
great injustice, I have deemed it proper and due to mr.
self thus publicly to correct them.
One charge that I understand lias gained some c
rency in the country, is, that there are large amounts,,i
the Bills of the Bank of Macon in circulation that d «>
not appear on the Books of the Bank. To this, Ipr»
sume, it will be sufficient to say, that if there is on#
Bill, or any amount of Bills, bearing my signature as
Cashier, or issued while I was in that office, that does
not appear fairly set.forth on the Books of the Bank,
the holders or owners thereof may consider me ami ms
securities liable and bound for their redemption and they 1
shall be promptly paid on presentation; and that every I
man may see whether his Bills have been properly en. I
tered or not, I suggest that the Register of the Biili I
regularly issued by the Bunk be deposited in some pub- I
lie office where every Bill holder may call and examine I
for himself. But they will find none such in circulation. I
One other charge is, that I have sold, made over and [
passed out of my possession all my property, with a
view of evading or securing it from any liabilities that
might he created against me on account of the Bunk.
To this, I can give a flat contradiction. I have not en
that account, sold one dollar’s worth of arc tf-™-. L
have now as much as I ever possessed, which is entire.
Iv free from any incumbrance whatever; and I haw
nothing more than the fair proceeds of an honorable lie.
siness. All I possess is subject and will remain so,»
any claims that can be established against me on account y
of the Bank or any tiling else. And I myself am at ray
place, and have been, and shall continue to be, ready la I
be found at any time, by any person, or upon any deci
sion.
I resigned the office of Cashier of the R ink of ah- 1
con in the month of February last, since which time I
have had no connexion, agency, influence, or control of |
its affairs, I then considered its bills perfectly good, aid ]
its means were such as to justify that belief—that every
thing belonging to the Bank was fairly turned over r ,i
me to my successor, L. Atkinson, Esq. will be seen iv |
reference to his receipt, a copy of which is here anm-s. |
ed, and a list of the papers then running to maturity is
the Bank can be seen at my office and will shew for
themselves; and that the proprietor and managers of to*
Bank considered it perfectly good for several months
after I left it, there is abundant proof in their own state
ments made at various times and places.
The very short period before the meeting of the le
gislature, (when I shall endeavor to have the affairso!
the Bank fully investigated,) prevents me now from »n
--tioning such facts, and abuses as I understand do
but which I have no doubt will he made appear by
proper authorities, and until all the facts are proper-'
made known, I beg the indulgence of the command t
suspend any unfavourable impressions. For while '
not seek, or wish to evade any just responsibilities m
that account, I am equally unwilling to bear the bur-- 1
of other persons acts.
