AGRICULTURAL. from the southern planter. 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. Alexander Gordon - .

Courier $ Enquirer. “We are not in the habit of making out certificates of commendation for unlicensed quackeries, but we do know of a nostrum, approved too by the Faculty, that cannot be recommended too highly to the attention of even’ family during the present warm weather. It is denominated “ Butler's Effervescent Magnesian Apperient ,” and to medicinal properties are admirably adapted to the allevi ation and removal of the numerous bodily complaints in cident to the summer season. We doubt whether the whole Pharmacopee offers a more innocent and effective remedy, or a more pleasant and palateable preventive. Having seen its virtues tested in casss of severe head ache and threatened Cholera Morbus, we can conscienti ously testify concerning its utility.”— Ed. N. I'. Evening Journal. BUTLER’S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APPERIENT. relieves Dyspepsia, or indigestion, nerv ous debility, giddiness, headache, acidity of the stomach, and habitual costiveness. It is more convenient than the Seidlitz Powders, and the dose may be so regulated as to perform a gentle or powerful purgation; its portableness and the convenience with which it is mixed, recommend it to the attention of all travellers, particularly those vis iting or residing in hot climates.

The Joiinml Os the Proceedings of the Legislature of Geo. 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. M. D. J.

The Advertiser shall lack for none of that attention, which the editor flatters himself has entitled it to the kind and cheering patron age which has been so liberally extended to it. The Advertiser will continue to be published weekly in the summer and tri-weekly in the winter, at the price of Five Dollars per annum, payable in advance. hand and Gold Region Lists of the' Drawing.— the addition to the Legislative and Conventional Proceed ing, the JOURNAL will contain Official Reports of the Drawing of the Land and Gold Lottery Regions, which will commence, it is presumed, about tiie commencement of the sitting of the Legislature. Should the Lottery however have commenced its drawing previous to that period, such days as may have drawn, will also be pub fished, so that individuals interested will have entire Lists from beginning to end. O’ The fraternity are respectfully asked to publish the above, which, as heretofore, will be reciprocated ; and to each paper a copy of the Journal will be regular ly and gratuitously sent.

He is convinced by the experi ment that schools of this kind will succeed and prosper. 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. Mr. Enos B.

By this date, more commodious buildings 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 advance. There will be a short vacation of about a week com mencing on the 23d July. The public examination will be held early in November, of which due notice will be given and then a vacation till January.

March 23 80 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. THE HAWKINSVILLE ADVOCATE will be pub lished weekly at Three Dollars per annum, if paid in ad vance ; or Three D.llars and Fifty Cents at the end of the year. JADED EVERITT, THOMAS C. SULLIVAN. Haw kinsville, October 4, 1832. 33 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 tery. All communications addressed to the subscriber in Milledgeville, Ga. {postagepaid of course,) will meet with prompt attention. ORANGE GREEN. Milledgeville, August 23, 1832.

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.
