~ aghicxxttrai,. j non TH T. VTKCIKIA FARMER. 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.

It is denominated “ Butler's Effervescent Magnesian Apperient," and to medicinal properties are admirably adapted to the allevi ation and removal of die numerous bodily complaints in cident to the summer season. We doubt whether the whole Pharmaeopae offers a more innocent and effective remedy, or a more pleasant and palateable preventive. Having seen its virtues tested in cases of severe head ache and threatened Cholera Morbus, we can conscienti ously testify concerning its utility.”— Ed. N. Y. 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 senile or powerful purgation; its portablenesf and the convenience with which it is mixed, recommenc it to die attention of all travellers, particularly those vis. idng or residing in hot climates.

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. JESSE MERCER, Chairman Com. THO’S STOCKS, Scc’ry pro. tom. County.line, October 15, 1832. 39 P. S. As all the books in the same class must be of the same kind, Books and Stationary will he kept at the Institution, at cost, for all those who may not other wise have supplied themselves. ~ 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. ROBERT COLLINS.

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.

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

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. JARED EVERTTT, THOMAS C. SULLIVAN.
