THE JOURNAL.
WEDNESDAY, December 12.
An association was formed during
the last summer by a number of the
most respectable citizens in the Ea
stern section of our state, with the lau
dable intention of making improve
ments in Agriculture ; and lor the
purpose of prosecuting their experi
ments, they had purchased lands and
laborers. By a law just passed, this
company is incorporated under the
style of the “Agricultural Society of
Georgiaand are authorized to
raise by Lottery a sum not exceed
ing Ten Thousand Dollars, to be ap
plied exclusively to the fftirpose lor
which the Corporation has been esta
blished.
The particular objects contempla
ted by the society, are, to ascertain
the different modes of agriculture in
practise in this state, & to suggest such
improvements as experience has
shewn to be beneficial ; to excite a-
mong their fellow citizens a desire of
making experiments for the renov ati-
on of exhausted lands, & for the ameli
oration of such as in their natural state
are unproductive or unfit for cultiva
tion ; to multiply our resources by
the introduction of new articles of
culture.
These arc objects of the first im
portance to the Planter—and if the
enquiries and experiments of the
company be prosecuted with that in
telligence and industry which so con
spicuously adorn the characters of a
great portion of its members, we do
not hesitate to assert, that' their ef
forts will have the-mosthappy influ
ence in promoting the general pros
perity of our country.
The recent depression of the price
of Cotton, in New-York and Savan
nah, was probably occasioned by the
dulncss of the market in the great
commercial towns of Britain, where
much embarrassment had been pro
duced among the principal merchants
bv successive failures, and the deaths
of Sir Francis Baring and Mr. Gold-
smit, two of their capital merchants
—the latter of whom, in consequence
of considerable losses, lately commit
ted suicide.
WAR IN INDIA.—The British
are in a fair way to encounter diffi
culties in every quarter of the globe
—In India they are certainly very
vulnerable. This disturbance is men
tioned in the following terms in a
London paper :*
“ The recent accounts from India
are by no means ol a pleasing nature.
The dissatisfaction which pervades
our army, has given encouragement
to some of the native powers who
were alone bound to our dominion by
force, & in various quarters the stan
dard of revolt has been raised. The
war iu Oude and in Rundelrund was
continued to the date of the last des
patches, and Bopal, Kornli, and ma
ny other provinces were in a state of
insurrection.”
The following returns have been
made by the persons appointed in
the different counties to take the
census of this state, agreeable to a
law passed at the preceding session
of the Legislature. We are inform
ed, that ow-ing to the neglect of those
employed to make the enumeration,
the number returned from some
counties is far short of tlie real po
pulation.

We hear, from Holland, and from
many other countries (says a Lon
don paper) of discontents after dis
contents—but none of them ever
break out into action. If what our
public prints tell us be true, Napole
on is hated by every soul upon the
continent of Europe. The Dutch
hate him, the Spaniards hate him,
the Swiss hate him, the Italians hate
him, the Germans hate him, the
French hate him, mortally. All his
generals hate him. Every living crea
ture wishes him dead. But in the
midst of this universal hatred, we
see him quitting his capital and his
kingdom, for weeks and months to
gether, without any atempts being
made against his authority, and we
see him in -battle after battle without
any hurt to his person. We have
had him several times poisoned, or
stabbed, and he is yet unhurt. It is
quite astonishing that we should still
believe these things. We have gone
on believing in this way from the
year 1792 ; and it really does now
seem, that nothing will ever cure us.
Had we not been thus under the in
fluence of a blindness not to be ac
counted for, our condition would not
have been what it now is. We should
not have acted upon those false
hopes which day after day, have only
tended to pave the way for our ruin.
We have not seen because we would,
not see ; because we appear to have
made a vow not to see, that it was
public opinion, that it was a new way
of thinking, in the nations of Eu
rope, and not any thing peculiar to
Bonaparte, that was operating the
changes in government and -domini
on. He is a great statesman ; but,
he would have done little, or nothing,
without public opinion, That his
been at work for hint even’ whe-r^,
and he has merely attended to its
invitations.
