AQaiCDLTORJUU 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. AMERICAN FARMER. Baltimore, OeroBBKR 26, 1832, CONTENTS OF No. 33. VOL. 14.

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. JESSE MERCER, Chairman Com. TUG’S STOCKS, Soc’ry pro. tem. County-line, October 15, 1f32. 39 P. I**. As all the books in the same class must be of the same kind, Books and Stationary will be kept at the Institution, at cost, for all those who may not other wise have supplied themselves. 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. ROBERT COLLINS. BANK OF .MACON, Macon, 1 Sth February, 1832.

Macon, July 25, 1832. PROPOSALS For publishing in the town of Milledgeville , Ga. (During the ensuing session ot the Legislature.) Tlic Journal Os the Proceedings of the Legislature of Geo. • 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. M. D. J. SLADE 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 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. 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 the 2d §75; for the 3d §SO. 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 tvhich due notice will be given and then a vacation till January.

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. Milledgeville, August 23, 1832. O’ Editors in the State of Georgia, who are disposed to publish the above two or three months, shall receive a set of the Maps as compensation. O. G. 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.
