FROM THE NEW.FORK FARMER.
BEARING POULTRY IN MEXICO.
September 1832.
Sir, —I cannot embark for Campeaeby with
out relieving myself by tullinjr you not n rock
and bull, but and cock and chicken story, which
may be of service to those farmers who supply
our markets with poultry.
The fondness of Spaniards for eggs and chick
ens appears to be inherited to the full extent by
their American descendants, as at every Indian
but which I have sloped at in Mexico, I could
gel one or the other in default of every thing
else in the eating line. It is true they are not
verv srrupulous about the number of feathers
which covers the po/lito , nor of the days it has
been free from the shell, but then you know you
can eat the more of them, and pay accordingly.
Rut to return to my story. During the rainy
season, the rivers of the state of Tobasco over
flow the banks, and the little eminences become
so many temporary islands, to which all terres
trial animals retreat for shelter. On these little
mounds, too, the inhabitants place their huts,
and it is fine sport to go hunting in a canoe from
one islet to another all over the country. Mon
kevs, parrots, peccaries, snakes, in short, all
animals of a tropical climate, may be found in
the same congregation.
One afternoon, in the month of October, 1828,
in company with the Vice-Governor of the state,
1 entered one of those huts aforesaid, to take
some refreshment and r<‘St, when I observed be
fore the door a large cock with three or four
dozen of chickens around him engaged in all
the occupations usually appertaining to the hen,
and apparently very proud of his office. Nei
ther man, woman, child, pig nor hen would he
Kutfer to molest his little ones in the slightest de
gree, ami he would occasionally coek his eyv up
towards the birds of prey in the air with a me
nacing gesture, ns much as to say “and you too
had better keep at a respectful distance from my
spurs.” The following was the account of this
phenomenon given me by my companion, Col-
Estrada.
“ The cock is chosen to hatch the eggs, on
account of his superior size, and to take care of
the chickens on account of his superior strength,
while the hen is thus left free to continue filling o.
ther nests. Toqunlify him to take her place, lie is
first rendered intoxicated by swinginghim over A:
over in a hammock, under which tobacco is burnt
to keep him enveloped in smoke. As soon as he
becomes senseless and motionless, tlie feathers
are stripped from his broad breast, and he is pla
ced in a large nest with as many eggs in it as
his body can cover, in the position taken by the
hen herself while hatching. When ho recovers
from the stupor, the pressure of the warm eggs
against his naked breast, seems to occasion an
agreeable sensation, which detains him on the
nest the full period of incubation. Why he con
tinucs his care to the chickens after they escape
from the shell, is best known to himself, —but
you see the fact before you, and tin* practice of
thus substituting the male for the female is gene
fal in this country.”
Now, Mr. Editor, all 1 ask of you and your
readers is to Inj before you deny the truth of
tiiis story. Henry Pkhrixe.
FROM THE AMERICAN FARMER.
Neir Food for Hogs. —We bespeak the gra
vity of our readers on reading the following ;
they must not laugh at us for our easy credulity,
nor reject the proposition on account of its seem
ing improbability. For ourselves, we have no
doubt of the truth of the facts stated, nor of the
soundness of the principles upon which the ex
periments were based. But to the subject:
A few weeks since, two of the members of
the United Society of Shakers, at Lebanon, N.
Y. were at our office. They informed us, that
they had tried an experiment in feeding hogs
with the saw dust produced in their button and
other wooden ware factory, by mixing it with
the usual food, in the proportion of one-third ;
that is two parts of the usual food, and one part
of the saw dust; and that the hogs throve fully
as well us when fed in the usual way. From
their experiments they are satisfied that the saw
dust was digested by the animals, was nutritious,
answered in all respects the purposes of the usu
«l food. They had endeavored to ascertain the
least quantity of the usual food necessary to the
thrifty growth of their hogs, and then used saw
dust as a substitute for one-third of it; so that
the objection that the two-thirds of the usual food
was probably sufficient, cannot be raised. They
have not completed their experiments, but are
extending them to ascertain whether a still grea
ter proportion of saw dust may not be used, and
how much more. We believe they intend also
to try experiments with other animals.
These facts may be relied on as strictly cor
reel. The people who tried the experiment, &
those who related them to us, arc not given to
visionary projects nor to marvellous story telling.
They are generally scientific men ; one of them
that visited us was one of the best botanists we
ever met with. It seems no way improbable that
wood should contain a large quantity of nutri
tive matter. When decomposed by fire the pro.
portion of insoluble matter is very small, not
greater than that of any kind of farinacious
fruit or grain after the water lias been evapora
ted. There is a large quantity of saccharine
matter in most wood, or at least in the juices,
and we think it no way improbable that both
gluten and farinacious matter, as well as sugar,
may enter largely into the composition of the
•soluble parts of wood—even what is called by
chemists troody fibre —and that these parts of
wood when pulverised, may be digested and be
come nutritious matter in the stomachs of ani
mals. Wo are not sure that we recollect per
fectly the kind of wood used by the Shakers in
their experiment, but believe it was what is com
monly called soft maple, Acer rubrum. They
have promised us a detailed account of their ex
periinents as soon as they shall have completed
them.

MERCER INSTITUTE.
THE Mercer Institute, for combining study and
manual labour, will go into Operation on the 2d.
Monday in January next, under the direction of the Rev.
B. M. Sanders.
The principal object of the Institution is the education
of pious youngmen, who are called to the Gospel Minist
ry, and have been licensed by the church to which they
belong, and have n good report of them that are without,
—and particularly those who are indigent—and such are i
affectionately invited to bring their testimonials and avail
themselves gratuitously of the advantages of the Insti
tution. —But as we have no reason to believe that this
class of pupils will fill up the school; it will receive, in
addition, as many young men of good moral character, as
can be provided for, irrespective of religions sentiments.
The Committee are of opinion that, from the limited
state of its present accommodations, they will not be
able to receive more than 30 to hoard on the premises the
first Term. As fast, as our friends may find themselves
well pleased with the experiment we may make, as to
contribute to our means, we design to enlarge our ac.
commodations tor students, and open wider our doors
tor them. All the branches of science, usually taught
in grammar schools, will be taught in this Institution.
No student will be received for less than one year—tlie
year will be divided into two terms—the first of 6 months,
from the 2d. Monday in January, to the 2d. in July,—the
second of 5 months, from the 3d. Monday in July to the
3d. .Monday in December.
Board, for all over 1G years of age, will be §3O for
the scholastic year, and §6 for washing; those under 16,
at §5 per month, havinga reasonable deduction lor their
labor—each student furnishing his own bed and candles.
For want of funds, board and tuition will be required in
advance, lo lie paid to the steward. Tuition will be §9
for the first term, to all engaged in reading, writing,
arithmetic, grammar, geography and history.—All the
higher branches of science and the languages, will be
taught for §ls the first term—the second m proportion.
Each student will be required to labor 3 hours each
day, five and a halfdays in the week. The time and
kind of labor will be directed by the steward, under the
control of the Trustees ; and each student will be expect,
ed to conform strictly to the regulations of the Institution.
It will be expedient for each student to have coarse
clothes to work in ; and it is desired that the wearing
apparel of all should be plain and cheap, that there may
be as little distinction as possible, and that the principle
of economy may be fully carried into every department
of the Institution. As our Institution is in its infancy
aud in want of every thing, any useful book, to and in
forming a library, and any implemen for labor, or any
suitable article of furniture, that any friend may find it
convenient to contribute, will he thinkfully received.

P. I**. As all the books in the same class must be of

TO THE PUBLIC.
tHAVE heretofore declined making any public
statement in regard to my connexion with the Rank
of M aeon, and did intend to have remained silent on
that subject until the meeting of the legislature, when
it was my intention to solicit the appointment of a com
mittee from that body to examine into its affairs, and re
port the cause of its failure. But learning that various,
false, and malicious rumors are in circulation, in differ
ent parts of the country, which are calculated to do me
great injustice, I have deemed it proper and due to my
self thus publicly to correct them.
One charge that 1 understand has gained some cur
rency in the country, is, that there are large amounts of
the Bills of the Bank of Macon in circulation that does
not appear on the Books of the Bank. To this, I pre
some, it will be sufficient to sav, that if there is one
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 and my
securities liable and bound for their redemption and they
shall be promptly paid on presentation; and that every
, man may see whether his Bills have been properly en
tered or not, I suggest that the Register of the Bills
regularly issued by the Bank be deposited in some pub
lic office where every Bill holder may call and examine
for himself. But they will find none such in circulation.
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 be created against me on account of the Bank.
To this, I can give a fiat contradiction. I have not on
that account, sold one dollar’s worth of any thing. I
have now as much as I ever possessed, which is entire
ly free from any incumbrance whatever; and I have
nothing more than the fair proceeds of an honorable bu
siness. All 1 possess is subject and will remain so, to
any claims that can be established against me on account
of the Bank or any thing else. And I myself am at my
place, and have been, and shall continue to be, ready to
be found at any time, by any person, or upon any occa
sion.
I resigned the office of Cashier of the Bank of Mn
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, and
its means were such as to justify that belief—that every
thing belonging to the Bank was fairly turned over by
me to my successor, L. Atkinson, Esq. will he seen by
reference to his receipt, a copy of which is here annex,
ed, and a list of the papers then running to maturity in
the Bank can be seen at my office and will shew' for
themselves; and that the proprietor and managers of the
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 affairs of
the Bank fully investigated,) prevents me now from men.
tioning such facts, and abuses as I understand do exist,
but which I have no doubt will be made appear by the
proper authorities, and until all the tacts are properly
made known, I beg the indulgence of the community to
suspend any unfavourable impressions. For while Ido
not seek, or wish to evade any just responsibilities on
that account, I am equally unwilling to bear the burthen
of other persons acts.

• Bad History of the Times ,
BY M. D. J. SLADE, OF MACON, Ga.
“ Lege totuin, sci cis scire to turn." —“ Read all, if you
! would know all.”
rgjMlE people of Georgia are much in want of a me
-1 _S. ilium 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,
j 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 are 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 uric 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 by faithful reports of the transactions of the
important Redress Convention of Georgia, which con
' templates sitting in Milledgeville, the ensuing session.
1 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 bo pub
lished daily, and the Legislative and Conventional Pro
• ceedings ofeach day laid in extenso before the public on
f the subsequent morning, and immediately transmitted
■ to any part of the State to which the paper may be or
derod.
The large 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 Hatters 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 bo put to subscribers at the price of Five Dol
lars per session, payable on the reception of th* first
number.
(UT 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
hers which may be obtained, by the 10f/< day of Octo
her. They are particularly requested to do so, that the
Editor may he enabled to make the proper arrangements,
and to furnish promptly the first numbers to each sub
scriber.

Will continue to publish the Macon Advertiser, as
heretofore ; and assures his patrons and the public that
so far from the interference or conflict of the above pub
lication with the interest and management of the Ad
vertiser, that he designs and believes that the former
will greatly improve the latter. 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.
Land 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 the 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.
CT 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

EATONTON MANUAL
LABORING SCHOOL.
IN answer to the many enquiries made, the principal
begs leave to state, that this Institution is full and in
a flourishing condition. 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. Enws B. Myer, educated in a school of this kind,
(and who conducted this during the Principal’s absence
toNew-York) is engaged as a permanent assistant : on
account of this arrangement, eight more students may be
admitted after Ist of July, the commencement of the se.
cond term. By this date, more commodious buildings
will be arected. n
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, §9O ; for

GOLD VXD LAND MAP
OF THE COUNTY OF CHEROKEE.
I HAVE now in the hands of the Engraver, which will
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
mension 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; which 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, 14, 15,16, 17, IS, 19, 20, 21, and
22, of the second section, form the second Map.
Districts No. 1,2, 3,4, IT, 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 —all Mountains, Rivers, Creeks,
Branches, Roads, Ferries, ore. are correctly and faithful
ly delineated.
The Map will be handsomely engraved, printed on
strong silk paper, colored and put up in morocco cases
at the following prices, viz ;
Land Map, 0®
Gold Maps 03 50 each, or forthc three, 010 00
For Gold and Land Maps, comprising the
whole Territory, 00
Persons desirous of obtaining this valuable-Map will
do well to inform the publisher soon, as but a limited
number can be obtained during the drawing ot the Lot
tery.
All communications addressed to the subscriber in
Milledgeville, Ga. ( postage paid of course,) will meet
with prompt attention. ORANGE GREEN.

PKOSIECTUS
OF THE
HAM EIVSVILLE ADVOCATE.
THE Undersigned design, as early ns 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
far more 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 in the .State, in the
march of improvement! IVhile, then, the citizens of
every other Circuit, have the pleasure of receiving by
each mail, 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. What place, then, could
or would be more suitable for the establishing and sup.
porting a paper ?
It has become the fashion, for those who make propo.
sals for editing a paper, to declare their political creed ;
that all may know by their colours, on which side they
will fight. The undersigned, without censuring such
example, will follow it in part only. They, therefore,
declare themselves to be native Georgians, «St that while
they design to steer clear of extremes, they no less fer
vently hope to be ever found on the side of the peo
ple, the true democracy of the State. Prudence
might require them to stop here : but they feel con
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 Uniled States’ Government
(more especially as manifested by the late decision of
its Supreme Court,) which like sonic dreadful yawning
gulph, threaten the most awful and ruinous consequences,
demand of every true patriot and advocate of his coun
try, to be at his post, and like the faithful watchman,
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 equit
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 Diety. Whatever may be the
course of others, while the undersigned truly hope, that
our excellent Constitution, our once happy Union, and
the high destiny to which, under happy auspices, it may
aspire, will not merely wc like some golden age, as a song
in the memory of posterity; they trust in the fervor of
their hearts to be found ever contributing their poor
and humble mite to resist encroachment, in whatever
shape it may come, and oppression under whatever eo
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 Washington 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. The
undersigned hope to be judged of by their acts.
As to the politics of the State, amid chance or
change, or the violence and heat of 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, hut 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 be 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 glory of the Southern country.
THE HAWKINSVILLE ADVOCATE will be pub.
lished weekly at Three Dollars per annum, if paid in ad
vance : or Three Dollars and Fifty Cents at the end of
the year.
