AMBKK’.VN wine.
Charles county. Aid. Oct. Vith, 1832.
Mr. Smith ; —Under the above head, in your
paper of the sth inat. I read with trreat ploa
■ure the letter of your very intelligent and res
pectable correspondent, N. Herbcniont, Esq. of
Soath-Carolina, to whoso perseverance and sci
ence in t’« culture of the grape vine in our
country, we owe much, and posterity ' v -li owe
more. If experience and energy can edict the
successful culture of the vine, and tea* its pros
perity in our country, it will be done by that
patriotic and enlightened gentleman. Having
commenced the culture ol the vine rmsch upon
im extensive scale, under the conviction of i s
ultimate suc'H-’ss in our country, I cannot feel
otherwise than gratified at learning, from Mr.
Herbemont’s letter, that he has succeeded in
making as good wmc this year as can be pro
duced in any country.
The object of this communication is to ask
that gentleman through this medium, to lay be
fore the public his entire process of making wine,
from the gathering of the grapes to the bottling
away the wine for use. M e want very much
all the information that experience and obser
vations upon that subject in this country, can
furnisb. The onlv method that has been hud
before the public, is the one given by J. A ilium,
Esq. of the District of Columbia, in his valua
ble treatise upon “ wine making,” and for w hich
publication, he is entitled to the thanks of the
public. The foreign writers upon the subject,
cannot be successfully followed in this country,
differing in climate, ic. and ought not to be re
lied upon. We want a treatise of the kind from
an intelligent and practical man in our own
country, and I know no one who could so essen
tially serve tlie “ vine growers” ol the United
Stales, ns Mr. Ilerbemont. His knowledge o!
the culture in France and his long and untiring
experiments in this his adopted country, added
to his science and rcsj*‘<v ability, bolter qualify
him for that object than any other peraon.
Would he not render a las'ing service to those
who like myself are engaged in the experiment
of wine making, if he would submit through
your columns, or otherwise, his entire process oj
making wine, in all the minutin', from the ga
thering, through the mashing, fermenting, draw
ing off, «l T c. d:c. to the period when the wine is
fit for use ? 1 acknowledge a total ignorance
U|K>n this subject, and 1 am at a las* where to
look for information. This year, for the first
time, my vines of three years old yielded well,
and I have attempted the making of wine, but I
fear it will turn out to be nothing but an attempt,
for I found none of the rules, laid down in the
books upon that subject, worked well with the
juice of my grapes; I abandoned them all and
launched the fate of my wine this year upon the
ocean of whim and inexperience, hoping that at
the return of the next vintage 1 should be ena
bled to pursue the “ process ’ adopted by some
experienced vine cultivators in our own country,
and with that view I have ad iressed you these
observations. Should you concur in opinion
with me, can you better serve the agricultural
interest and its prosperity, than by asking every
•ucccssful cultivator of the vine in our country,
to lay before the public, his enftr t process of mak
ing wine ? POMONKEY.
AMERICAN' WINE.
Economy Township, Pa. Oct. 13, 1832.
Mr. Smith : — Sir, Permit me to make yau
an observation : the Americans use, in making
their domestic wines, a very improper means,
•f letting tl te juico undergo the vinous fermen
tation by itsell and adding then sugar or mo
lasses to produce a second fermentation. This
proceeding is entirely wrong ; because by this
•econd fermentation o part of the alcohol pro
duced at first is lost by dissipation, and the re
maining little converted into vinegar, which r ai
ders the wine (if it can be called so) of disa
greeable taste, and renders it unwholesome. I
am, respectfully, C. EHRMANN.

FROM THE LONDON GARDENER’S MAGAZINE.
Prangos Hay Plant. —lu the 9th No. recent
ly published, of Wallich’s Rarer Asiatic Plants ,
the pangos hay plant is figured and dcs rihed ;
and such extraordinary agricultural properties
are ascribed to it, that we take the earliest op
portunity of noticing it to oar readers.
“ Its properties as a food for agricultural ani
mals appear to bo In ating, producing fatness
in a space of time singularly short, and also, de
structive to the Fasciola hepalica, or liver fluke,
which in Britain, after a wet autumn, destrovs
some thousands of sheep by the rot —a disease
that, to the best of my [Mr. Moore roll’s] know,
ledge, has in its advanced stages proved incura-
Lie. The hist mentioned property of itself, if
it be retained by the plant in Britain (and there
appears no reason for suspecting that it will bo
lost,) would render it especially valuable to our
country. —But this, taken along with its highly
nutritious qualities, its vast yield, its easy cul
ture, its great duration, (a single planting will
continue m healthy and profitable growth for
forty years or more : hence the plant is a most
durable perennial,) its capability of flourishing
on lands of the in st inferior quality, and w hol
ly unadapted to tillage, imparts to it a genera!
character of probable utility, unrivalled in the
history of agricultural productions. When once
[it is] in possession of the ground, for which the
preparation is easy, it requires no subsequent
ploughing, weeding, manuring, or other opera
tion, save that of cutting and converting the
foliage into hay. From various facts it is con
ceived not unreasonable to presume, that, bv
the cultivation of this plant, moors and wastes,
hitherto uncultivated, and a source of disgrace
to British agriculture,.may be made to produce
large quantities of win'er fodder, and that the
yield of highlands and of downs enjoying a con
siderable depth of soil may be trebled.”
Britain docs not ytt contain living plants of
P. pabularia, although it appears that seeds of
it were sent borers early as ISI4 ; whether
when living plants be possessed, British winters
may not be too severe for them, remains to he
proved: but the writer above s, caks as if he
had little or no doubt on this point; an 1 as the
plant is from a temp rate part of the East Indies,
(the neighborhood of Imbal or Droz.l it may j
possibly be sufficiently hardy.

ffTUIE Und orsigned design, as early as a sufficient
number _>f subscribers can be obtained, to publish
in the town of • law kinsville, Pulaski county, Georgia, a
paper unde, 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 ot improvement! While, then, the citizens ol
every oilier Circuit, have the pleasure oi receiving by
each mail, papers printed within their limits, may we
not, with reason, indulge the sanguine expectation, that
our citizens, as also those ot 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 iii this place, and contribute much to its circulation !
llawkinsvills has been so rapid in its growth, and lias
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, 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 pco
pie, the true democracy of tiie 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 tear,
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 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 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 1 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 vve 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 th- ir 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 tiie 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 ot the State, amid chance or
change, or the violence and heat of party dissentions,
they iaithfully promise with calmness and coolness, to
discuss the measures of each and every party, in the
spirit of candor. And whether praise or censure 1m 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
to Agriculture ; on the successful improvement in which,
freed from burdensome taxation, mainly depend the
happiness, prosperity and glorv of the Southern countrv.

The Journal
Os the Proceedings of the Legislature of Oeo.
efisd History of the Times ,
BY M. D. J. SLADE, OF MACON, Ga.
“ Lege totum, sci vis scire toium." —“ Road all, it you
would know all.”
HE people of Georgia arc much in want of a me
dium 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.
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 tlie expiration of the Ses
sion, the Laws of the State, with a few exceptions, are
as a “ sealed Book” to the great mass ot the people ; and
frequently, such are the injurious 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 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.
The Debates in the invention, 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.
Tiie Journal and History of the Times, will be pub
lished daily, 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
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
torcsted and to keep their constituents advised oi 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 publiscd daily with a new type, by machinery, to be
e.xpres«!v procured for the purpose and-on good paper,
and will be put to subscribers at the price of Five Dol
lars per session, payable on the reception of tiie first
number.
0= Those to whom subscription lists xvill 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 XOt/i day of Octo
ber. They arc 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. !>• 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
ot 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
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
ly and gratuitously sent.

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 tnat 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 ; butil
they will do their duty, no fears need be entertained about
the success and usefulness of such establishments.
Mr. Enos 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 olJuly, the commencement of the se
cond term. By this date, more commodious buildings
will be arected.

~ MEKCEU INSTITUTE#
-J IIP] Mercer Institute, for combining study *nd
manual labour, will go into operation on the 2d.
Monday in January next, under the direction of the U eT .
B. M. Sanders.
The principal object of the Institution is the education
of ptous youngmen, who are called to the Gospel Minim,
ry, and have been licensed by the church to which they
belong, and have a good report oi them that are without,
—and particularly those who are indigent—and such ar»
affectionately invited to bring their testim mials and avail
themselves gratuit utsly oi the advantages ot the lusti.
union.—But .is we have no reason to believe that thin
class of pupils will fill up the school; it will receive, in
addition,as many youngmen of good moral character,si
can be provided for, irrespective of religious sentiment*.
The Comm.ttce are ot opinion that, from the limited
state of its present accomm id itions, they will not bo
able to receive more than 3d to beard on the premises ;h»
first Term. As fast, as our friends may find themselvci
well pleased with the experiment we may make, to to
contribute to our means, we design to enlarge our ar.
commod.uions for students, and open wider our dour*
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 montho,
from the 2d. Monday in January, to the 2d. in July,—tin
second of 5 mouths, from the 3d. Monday in July to tht
3J. Mi nday in December.
Board, for all over 16 years of age, willbe for
the scholastic year, and $0 for washing ; those under IC,
at $5 per month, havinga reasonable deduction for (heir
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 willbe §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 g!ls 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 and
kind of labor will he directed by the steward, underths
control oftlie 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 co*r««
clothes to work in ; and it is desired that the wearing
apparel oi 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 eret y thing, any useful book, to and in
forming a library, and any impleinen for labor, or any
suitable article of furniture, that any friend may find it
convenient to contribute, will be th mkfiilly received.

TO THE PIiSLIC.
£IIAVE heretofore declined making any publie
statement in regard to my connexion with the Hank
of Macon, and did intend to have remained silent on
that subject until the meeting of the legislature, whan
it was my intention to solicit the appointment of a coin,
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 arc in circulation, in differ
ent parts of the country, which are calculated to do mu
great injustice, I have deemed it proper and due to my
self thus publicly to correct them.
One charge that I understand has pained sonic cur
rency in the country, is, that there are large amounts of
the Bills of the Bank ot Macon in circulation that does
not appear on the Books of the Bank. To 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 doe*
not appear fairly set.fortii 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 ome pub
lie 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 h
view of evading or securing it from any liabilities tint
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 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 I possess is subject and will remain so, to
any claims that can be established against me on account
oi the Banker 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 Mu
con in the month of lebruary 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 moans were such as to justify that belief—that every
thing belonging to the Bank was fairly turned over by
me to rny successor, L. Atkinson, Esq. will be seen by
reference to his receipt, a copy of which is here annex
ed, and a list o! the papers then running to maturity tn
tlie Bank can he seen at my office and will shew lor
themselves; and that the proprietor and managers ot the
Bunk considered it perfectly good for several month*
after I left it, there is alum dan* proof in their own state
men's 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
ti -ning such facts, and abuses as I understand do exist,
but which I have no doubt will he 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 I
not seek, or wish to evade any just responsiblitie* (,n
that account, I am equally unwilling to bear the burthen
of other persons acts.
