CIGHTMXG ROOM.
Messrs. Editors : —I saw in the last number
of vour paper an extract from the Genesee
Farmer in which it was requeued that some
person would give the necessary information
for constructing lightning rods upon a building
one hundred feet in length and thirty-two feet
in breadth. —! have taken it upon myself to do
this, and ask the favor of you to allow me the
communication of my instructions through your
paper, i would, in the first place, recommend
that two rods only be used, and that each of
them be on inch and a quarter in diameter ; for
if thev be less than this, they will be liable both
to break and melt. The extremities of the rods
above the building should be nicely graduated,
and pointed with platina or silver. (Platina is
the harder metal, and consequently the better.)
They should not extend more than six feet a
hove the summit of the building; for, if Ihey
do, they will attract the lightning unprofitably,
the object of them not being to attract lightning
from a distance, but in cases of its coming near
er, or to the house, to conduct it off, and there
by secure it.
It would be advantageous, in fastening these
rods to the house, to have the staples or liga
ment separated from the rods by circular pieces
of glass, such as the necks of bottles ; for if in
the passage of the lightning down the rods, it
should come intoconlact with the staples, it might
be communicated to the house, and thereby ere
ate an explosion ; hut the glass will prevent this,
being a non-conductor of electricity.—They
should extend into the ground also to the dis
tance of five or six feet: charcoal, if convent',
ent, should he buried around them, and in dry
weather it would he well to pour water about
them, as moist earth is best for conducting elec
tricity. The rods may he placed with safety at
the gable ends of the building, but it would be
better if they be situated nearer together ; for
instance, at the distance of twenty-five for t from
the gable ends : then, to secure the building, it
would he necessary for them to attract the light
ning from the distance of only twenty.five feet
around them ; and as they are situated at the
distance of fifty feet apart, if circles, whose ra
dii are twenty.five feet, be described around
each, they will exactly touch each other at the
middle point between them; and,in consequence
of this circumstance, the building will be com
pletely secured, even if the rods have an attrac
tive power from no greater distance than twenty
five feet around. If these particulars he attend
ed to, I have no doubt the building will be as se
cure from injury by lightning, as if environed
by an hundred rods. I).
FROM THE NEW.YORK FARMER.
Effects of the past Winter. —lt is a singular
fact, that while many tender foreign plants stood
the severity of last winter as well, or better than
usual, such as the Ailanthus, Catalpn, Magnolias
glauca, and macrophylla, &c. most descriptions
of fruit, which are deemed hardy, suffered more
than during many of the preceding years. The
destruction has been extensive, among pears,
peaches, plums, cherries, quinces and native
grapes, and partial among the apples. Either
the fruit blossoms, branches, or the entire tree
above the surface of the ground were killed. In
the latter case, the bark was found to be killed
upon the bole or trunk, sometimes generally, at
others in circles, at about the height of the sur
face of the snow in winter.
Mow arc we to account for this uncommon
fact? My hypothesis is this : That the foreign
plants, being more sensitive to cold, were divest
cd of their leaves by the early frosts, the sap had
become concentrated, or reduced in volume, by
the cold of the autumn months, and the plants
assumed their winter habit before the winter
could set in ; and that the snow which soon af
ter covered the ground, sufficiently protected
their roots. Our indigenious trees, or those more
hardy, were kept in a partial growing state by
the mild weather of autumn ; and their sap ves
sels were fully distended with juices, when the
cold commenced ; and that they suddenly be
came frozen, ere it is condensed by a gradual &
natural process, which instead of diminishing,
added so to its volume as to burst the sap vessels,
and destroy vitality. And I doubt whether it
was the severity, so much as the long continu
ance of intense co'd, which proved so injurious.
The thermometer did not fall lower than 20 de
grees below zero with me ; and and this degree
of cold is not uncommon in our winters. But
the long continuance of severe cold was un
precedented in my memory. From the first of
December to the 17 th January, a period of near
ly fifty days, the mercury did not appear above
the freezing point but about two hours, and then
but lor 2 degrees. Man is capable of sustain
ing(and the remark will in a manner apply too
ther animals) a variation of temperature from
40 degrees below, to more than 200 above zero
but only for a time. The extremes of either
heat or cold, soon overcome and destroy the vi
tal principle, if unremittingly applied to the ani
mal system.
A Large Ear of Corn. —An car of Corn was
plucked a few days ago from a field of Mr. David
Justice, Jr. who lives ten or twelve miles north

around the cob, and 1321 grains on the whole

MKKCER INSTITUTE.
T t IE 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 youhgmcn, who are called to the Gospel Minist
ry, and have been licensed by the church to which they
belong, and have a good report of them that arc without,
and particularly those who are indigent—and such are
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 recei\e, in
addition, as many young men ot good moral character, as
can be provided for, irrespective of religious 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, asour 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 for students, and open wider our doors
for 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—the
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 16 years of age, willhe §39 for
the scholastic year, and §6 for washing; those under 16,
at §5 per month, havinga reasonable deduction for their
labor—each student furnishing his own bed and candles.
For want of funds, board and tuition will be required in
advance, to be 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 815 the first term—the second m proportion.
Each student will be required to labor 3 hours each
day, five and a half days 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 he expect
ed to conform strictly to the regulations ot 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 maybe fully carried into every department
of the Institution. Asour Institution is in its infancy
and 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 be thinkfully received.

~ TO THE PUBLIC.
IHAVE heretofore declined making any public
statement in regard to my connexion with die Bank
of Macon, 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 I 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 ot the Bank. '1 o this, I pre
sume, it will be sufficient to say, 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 Bonks 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 flat contradiction. I have not on
that account, sold one dollar’s w-orth 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 I possess is subject and will remain so, to
any claims that can be established against me on accoimt
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 Ma
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, ami
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 be seen by
reference to his receipt, a copy of which is here annex.
«d, 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 facts 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.

The Journal
Os the Proceedings of the Legislature of Geo.
•litd History of the Times ,
BY M. D. J. SLADE, OF MACON, Ga.
“ totum, sci ris scire totxnn." —“ Read all, if you
would know all.”
rgr HE people of Georgia arc much in want of a me
, JL diuni 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 he 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
| veniencc 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
[ c- a “ scaled Book” to the great mass of the people ; and
frequently, such are the injurious effects produced by
j this delay, that men have been known, who, in obe
. dience to a preceding, have actually violated a subse
quent lav 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
■ turc, tha Journal and History, will contain the gener
al intellgence of the day, and its interest will be in
[ crease! by faithful reports of the transactions of the
l important Redress Convention ot Georgia, which con
templates sitting in Milledgevillc, the ensuing session.
The Debates in the Convention, as well as those in the
, Legislature, will be regularly and correctly reported;
for vhich purpose arrangements arc making with a ca
pable and experienced Stenographer.
The Journal and History of the Times, will be pub.
fished dailv, and the Legislative and Conventional Pro
ceedings of each day laid in extenso before the public on
the subsequent morning, and immediately transmitted
to any part of the State to which the paper may be or
dcred.
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 flatters himself will he 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 ol the
progress of public business, without the abstraction ot
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 he put to subscribers at the price of I rvK Dol
lars per session, payable on the reception of the first
number.
(I'f* 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 10/A day of Octo
her. They are particularly requested to do so, that the
Editor may be 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

so far from the interference or conflict of the above pub
lication with the interest and management ol 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 he published weekly

price of Five Dollars per annum, payable in advance.

addition to the Legislative and Conventional Proceed

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
lished, 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

OF THE
HAWKINSVILLE ADVOCATE.
THE Undersigned design, ns early as a sufficiew
number of subscribers can be obtained, to publish
in the town of Hawkinsville, Pulaski county, Georgia,»
paper under the above title.
In the whole Southern Circuit, although it extends over
far more territory than any other in the State, theron
not printed a single paper. Surely this C ircuit has not
resolved to be behind every other in the State, in th*
march of improvement! While, then, the citizens of
every other Circuit, have the pleasure of receiving by
each mail, papers printed within their limits, may v«
not, with reason, indulge the sanguine expectation, that
our citizens, as also those of other Circuits, (to who**
papers they contribute a liberal patronage) will bounti
fully aid in the support of this attempt to establish spa.
per in this place, and contribute much to its circulation
Hawkinsville has been so rapid in its growth, andhai
already risen to so much importance, in a commercii;
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 andnp.
porting a paper ?
It has become the fashion, for those who make props,
sals tor 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 »ucb
example, will follow it in part only. They, therefor*,
declare themselves to he native Georgians, & that while
they design to steer clear of extremes, they no less fer.
vently hope to he ever found on the side ot the peo.
pie, 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/ agitato to the very centre, out po.
litical connexion as sovereign States, and the fear,
ful encroachments of the United States’ Government
(more especially as manifested by the late decision of
its Supreme. Court,) which like some dreadful yawning
gulph, threaten the most awful and ruinous consequence*
demand of every true patriot and advocate of hiscoim.
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 th*
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
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 maybe tb
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 map
aspire, will not merely we like some golden age, as a pong
in the memory of posterity; they trust in the tenor 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 co
lors disguised, till every hope, shall expire in the la*,
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 Hem
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 dissention*,
they faithfully promise with calmness and coolness 19
discuss the measures of each and every party, in
spirit of candor. And whether praise or censure he their
object, they will never follow any other light but that ot
truth—they will never have any other guide, but tin
of honor. With these in view, they will hold as duet
in the balance any unjust or unmeaning censure.
No inconsiderable portion ot their paper shall ho 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
fished weekly at Three Dollars per annum, if paid in «;
vance ; or Three Dollars and Fifty Cents at the end at
the year.
