A friend of min * who wanted seed wheat was
induced to go eight or ten miles to an acquaint
ance’s who had said his wheal was very clean.
The grain proved to he plump, an j the appear
ance fine ; but on spreading a handful on the
barn floor, niv friend picked out more than 20
grains of cheat. 1 h_- farmer frankly acknow
ledged that such wheat was unfit to be sown,
and that he never know before why Ids fields
produced so much cheat. IJe had thought that
his wheat must have turned into it, but tins new
evidence staggered h:s iaitii in the doctrine.
Hundreds of our farmers sow what they call
clean seed wheat, from each handful of which
more than a dozen grains of cheat might be
picked; and they cannot account for the pro
duce on any other principle than that wheat
turns into cheat. That such seed w heat spill
«d on hard ground or th road side should yield
cheat at harvest, ought to be no object of speci
al wonder.

if I mistake not, bis great strength lies in other

O •
has sacrificed his philosophy on the altar of ex
pedients without any adequate consideration;
for all his difficulties appear to admit ui easy
explanations, if is declaration is the more re
markable, because, he corresponds with some of
the first agriculturists in Europe, who would
have told him had lie inquired of them, that
wheat is not supposed to turn into cheat on the
other side of the Atlantic ; and that i: is nothing
but a Yankee notion. SEN EX.

LEAVES FOR MANURE.
It now is, or soon will be a proper time lo col
lect fallen leaves for littering cattle, hogs, Ac.
Our able correspondent, J. HI. (A. of Weston,
Mass, in n communication published in our pa
per some years since, observed, “ 1 have fixed
my styes in such a manner as to have a small
leftover them for leaves, with openings at the
aides lo draw out the leaves with a rake, and
supplying the hogs occasionally with fresh lit
ter. I have also inclosed part of a shed in the
barn yard to store up a sufficient quantity of
leaves to litter my cattle through the winter.
Th« i advantage is not confined to the mere ad
dition of the leaves to the dunghill; it furnishes
the means of preventing the waste of the urine
of the catth'. When the floor is cleared in the
morning, the leaves with which the cattle have
Ih ;en littered, the dung and the urine, should hr
well worked together with the shovel before
they are thrown out: and being so co lound
ed, the decomposition of the leaves will take
place much sooner, and their addition to the
dung become more valuable,
“ It is customary to prefer green dung to any
other for planting potatoes, and it answers very
well for that crop; yet it is often too cloggy,
and will remain sometimes in a lump in the hills,
whereby the potato is less benefitted. The ad
dition of the leaves, if well worked together as
above described, makes that kind of manure
much better adapted and truly excellent for
raising that crop, more particularly so, if on
meadow ground, w here cattle dung is apt to in
crease the wetness of the soil, whilst lite leaves,
rendering it better divided and lighter, give to
the potato hill a greater aptitude to be penetrat
ed and fertilized by the warmth of the sun.”
Loaves, used as manure are very valuable
for the purposes of gardening and for fruit trees.
Forsyth savs. ‘‘collect annually as many loads
of leaves as you conveniently can, which make
into hut beds, for iaie melons and cucumbers,
and for early potatoes, \ c.
It has long been a complaint of agriculturists
that potatoes of the best quality can hardly be
raised, excepting on what is called new land, or
land lately cleared from tho woods, which cov
ered it in a state of nature. Such land w e know
has been manured with leaves and probably for
centuries. It is then a very likely supposition
that leaves applied as manure to old land may
supply the kind of loud most congenial to the
potato ; and give to fields, which have been long
under cultivation, the power of producing as
fine potatoes as those lands which have lately
been cleared from the wood with which they
were covered whilst in their natural slate.
Fattening Hogs on Apples. —A friend of mine
had two acres of well grown trees of natural
fruit, chiefly sour. He was going to cut it
down, alleging that his grafted orchard afforded
sufficient fruit. 1 told him my theory. About
the last July he put in twenty-five hogs, thirteen
of which were of pretty good size, the others
shoals and pigs- Ihe lot had on it little or no
grass. No slop or feed was given. At the end
of two months and a half, the hogs w ere in fine
order and one of them being killed, the meat w as
esteemed delicious. My friend has given up cut
ting down his trees.
1 wish some good farmer, who has sweet ap
ples to spare, would put up four pigs of the same
jitter in two pens, two in each pen ; that he
would weigh and set down the weight of each ;
that he would give two of them corn and water
and two of them ripe sweet apples and water,
and nothing else ; that he would measure and
keep an account of both the apples and the corn
fed to them ; that after a proper course of feed
ing he would kill all lour, weigh and set down
the weight; that he would salt the meet and
smoke it; and that after having its quality in
spected, tasted and tried, lie would publish the
wholo. —Genesee Farmer.

For publishing in the town of AHI/cdgeril/c, Cm.
(Dating the ensuing session of the Legislature.)

,Iml History of the Times,
BY M. D. J. SLADE, OF MACON, Ga.
41 Lege total, sci ris scire toturn .”— 44 Read all, il you
would know all.”
rFMIE people of Georgia are much in want of a mc
.6. die.m of intelligence which will promptly transmit
to them the 44 Proceedings” of their Legislature. We
are not c i!v generally, but individually concerned in all
acts oi 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 toe 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 alter the expiration of the Ses
sion, the Laws of the State, with a few exceptions, are
as a 44 sealed Book” to the great mass of the people; and
frequently, such are the injurious eflects 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 ot 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.
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
ceedings ol 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
dered.
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 be extended to him.
It is unnecessary to enlarge on the convenience and
important utility of such a publication to members ot 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 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 be put to subscribers at the price ot Five Dol
lars per session, payable on the reception ot the first
number.
Hf* 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 10 th day of Orta
ber. 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.
M. I>. 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 Dr aw ing.-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
Li sts 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,

GOLD ASD L.VXB MAP
' | OF THE COUNTY OF CHEROKEE.
■J- HAVE now in the hands of the Engraver, which will
be completed by the first of November next, a cone-
I r al and accurate Map of the Cherokee Country, drawn
' from the returns of the District Surveyors. Owing to the
, erreut number of Lots, into which the country has been
- divided, particularly the Gold Region, and the large di
t mension of the sheet it will require, to have all those
numbers distinctly and accurately laid down. I have tho’t
1 | 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
1 on one sheet, and constitute a distinct and separate Map
by themselves. i
1 The districts reserved and surveyed as Gobi 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. 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. and 22, of
the third section, and Districts No. 1.2, 3, 16, and I<,
‘ 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, okc. are correctly and faithful
ly delineated.
* The Map wll be handsomely engraved, printed on
■ strong silk paper, colored and put up in morocco case?
at the following prices, viz :
Land Map, $5 00
Gold Maps $3 50 each, or forthe three, ,SlO 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 daring the drawing of the Lot

SIAWKIHSTILLE ADVOCATE.
fin HE Undcrsi gned design, as early as a sufficient
P number of subscribers can be obtained, to publish
in the town of Havvkinsville, Pulaski county, Georgia, a
paper under the above title.
In die 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! While, then, tiie citizens ot
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 lor 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, A 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 agitato to the very centre, our po
litictil 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 consequences,
demand of every true patriot and advocate of his conn
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 we like some golden age, as a song
in the memory of posterity; they trust in the fervor ot
their hearts to be found ever contributing th< ir poor
and humble mite to resist encroachment, in whatever
siiapc 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 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, 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 be de
voted to general literature, with whatever may im
prove, adorn or refine the mind ; and more especially
t» Agriculture ; on the successful improvement in which,
freed from burdensome taxation, mainly depend the
happiness, prosperity and glorv of the Southern country.

1 tution.—But e» we have no reason to believe that thi»
8 class of pupils will fill up the school; it will receive, in
addition, as many young men of good moral character, w
' can be provided for, irrespective of religious sentiments.
8 The Committee are of opinion that, from the ifutited
1 state of its present accommodations, they will not be
' able to receive more than 30 to board on the premists the
' first Term. As fast, as our friends may find themselves
' well pleased with the experiment we may make, as t#
■ contribute to our means, we design to enlarge our ac.
| comrnodations 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.
1 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. M. nday in December.
Board, for all over 16 years of age, will he §3O for
1 the scholastic year, and -$6 for washing; those under 16,
1 at $3 per month, having a reasonable deduction for their
labor—each student furnishing his own bed and candle*.
For want of funds, board and tuition will be required in
advance, to be paid to the steward. Tuition will be £3
for the first term, to all engaged in reading, writing,
arithmetic, grammar, geography and history.—All tho
higher branches of science and the languages, will be
taught for .*§l3 the first term—the second in proportion.
Each student will be required to labor 3 hours each
day, five and a halfdays in the week. The time snd
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 coant
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
and in want of cxicry thing, any useful book, to tmd in
forming a library, and any implemen for labor, or «ny
suitable article of furniture, that any friend mayfindtt
convenient to contribute, will be thinkfully received.

TO THE PUBLIC.
IHAVE heretofore declined making any public
statement in regard to my connexion with the 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 ol
the Bills of the Bank of Macon in circulation that dor*
not appear on the Books of the Bank. To this, I pre
sume, it will be sufficient to say, that if there is ore
Bill, or any amount of Bills, bearing my signature n«
Cashier, or issued while I was in that office, that does
not appear fairly set-forth on the Books of the Ban*,
the holders or owners thereof may consider me and m>
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 Bill*
regularly issued by the Bank be deposited in otne 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*
view of evading or securing it from any liabilities that
might be created against me on account of the Bant
To this, I can give a flat contradiction. I have not os
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 ba«
nothing more than the fair proceeds of an honorable bu
siness. All I possess is subject and will remain so, M
any claims that can be established against me on acco® !
of the Bank or any thins: else. And I myself ainato. f
place, and have been, and shall continue to be, ready u
be found at any time, by any person, or upon any otfs
-
I resigned the office of Cashier of the Bank of
con in the month of February last, since which time *,
have had no connexion, agency, influence, or control
its affairs, I then considered its bills perfectly good, and
its means were such as to justify that belief —that cvrr *
thing belonging to the Bank was fairly turned over f
me to my successor, L. Atkinson, Esq. will be «* n
reference to his receipt, a copy of which is here a' rel
ed, and a list of the papers then running to maturity' B
the Bank can be seen at my office and will shew
themselves; and that the proprietor and managersof m*
Bank considered it perfectly good for several mon *
alter I left it, there is abundant proof in their own sta- f
ments made at various times and places. , .
The very short period before the meeting ot the
gislature, (when I shall endeavor to have the affair—
the Bank fully investigated,) prevents me now from me
tioning such facts, and” abuses as I understand do
but which I have no doubt will be made appear b>
proper authorities, and until all the facts are pt°P
made known, I beg the indulgence of the
suspend any unfavourable impressions. For while
nor seek, or wish to evade any just responsibih tieS
that account, I am equally unwilling to bear the bur*--
of other persons acts. , c
