BOARDING HOUSE. _
THE Subscriber begs leave to inform the
public that she occupies the House well
known as the Western Hotel, standing on the
corner formed by the south side of Green-street,
and the western side of Centre-street. It is
well adapted to the accommodation of day
boarders; audits retirement from the bustle of
the town renders it favorable to those who wish
to attend the Law and Medical Lectures. She
hopes, therefore, that she will receive a liberal
patronage. She will accommodate such tran

such as may be recommended to the House by

SOUTHERN PL ANTER,
AND HORTICULTURAL LYCEUM.
PUBLISHED AT MACON, GEORGIA,
BY M. BARTLETT.
r |pilE low state of both the-practice
and profits of Agriculture in the
Southern States, is admitted and deplored
by all, yet adequate remedies and relief
have not been proposed, and are scarcely
hoped for by even the most sanguine Ag
riculturalists. Notwithstanding the great
improvements in practice, and the exam
ples of successful farming that many in- !
dividuals have exhibited, it is still true,
that our general average products and '
profits have been long declining—our
lands are becoming impoverished, and
their prices sinking in value. Yet these
results have been produced throughout a
region possessing remarkable natural
advantages and facilities for agricultural
improvement and profit, and which pro
mises the richest rewards for the invest
ment and judicious employment of farm
ing capital. Can we make no general
and successful effort to improve the con
dition of agriculture and our country?
Or, shall we expect no change, unless to ;
a worse than our present state?
The cause of the depression of agri • j
culture in the South are many—political
and moral, as well as physical—all of
which deserve thorough investigation,
but which it would be out of place here
to enumerate. It is enongh to state that
every existing cause of depression is mul
tiplied in power and effect, by the want
of means for communication and concert
among the members of the agricultural
interest.
It is the object of the Editor, if suffi
ciently aided in the attempt, to endeavor
in some measures to supply this deficien
cy, by establishing an Agricultural Pub
lication suited to our situation and wants,
and which may serve, if properly cm- '
ployed, to exhibit to every farmer, what
ever may be valuable in the practice of
every other in the Southern States.
The Editor is aware, of the peculiar
circumstances of the Editorial depart
ment of an Agricultural Journal—and he
is also sensible that the habits of a
practical cultivator are even opposed to
the acquisitions of some of the qualifica
tions requisite for such an undertaking.
No individuul however well qualified
for his task, can effect much by his own
unaided efforts; yet with the assistance |
from others, which the Editor hopes to
obtain, he believes that the Southern
Planter will serve as an efficient support
to the agricultural improvement and gen
eral interests of the south. For the pro
motion of these objects through this me
dium, the co-operation of someamong the
most able to render service, has been al
ready promised; and every means will be
used to invite the aid of all who are in
terested in the success of the proposed
plan. If our farmers can be induced to
consider this paper as simply a convenient
organ through which to exchange infor
mation—by means of which any inquiry
may be made, and speedily answered—
and if such interchange of opinions and
| experience can be made as freely, and in
[ the same plain manner that the same per-
I sons might converse if brought together
—then the most important and beneficial
results of such a publication will be cer
-1 tain and immediately obtained. The
most enlightened farmer is necessarily
j often ignorant of important facts, in re
gard to which he might be instructed by
others of very inferior attainments or ex
perience: and there is scarcely a single
reflecting cultivator who has not learned
some fact that is not generally known
; and the communication of which would
j be valuable to the agricultural cominuni
: ty. If all such mites of information
I could be drawn together and preserved,
1 they alone would add incalculably to the
existing stockof our agricultural knowl
dg,e;
The Editor has no personal claim for
aid to the proposed publication, nor does
he ask it, except on the ground, of its
tendency to advance the individual or
general interest of its patrons. Should
such considerations induce the offer of
sufficient patronage to insure the useful
ness and permanency of the publication,
arrangements will be made for its contin
uance; but the work will not be contin
ued, unless in such form and manner as
| will not be unworthy the coadjutors of
the Editor, and likely to be a full remu
neration for the patronage it may obtain.
The Southern Planter will embrace,
and be limited to the following subjects:
1. Orig-inal communications of experi
ments, observations and opinions on agri
culture, gardening, and domestic econo
my.
2. Selections from the best periodical
publications on agriculture, Europeon
and American, and from such other agri
cultural works as have not been publish
ed in this country, or are not generally
accessible.
3. Reviews or notices of agricultural
works.
4‘ _ ihe discussion of such objects of
political economy as are connectted
with the preservation and support ofthe
interest of agriculture.
5 Chemistry as connected with agri
culture—and with the same limitation,
Botany, Mineralogy, Geology and Natu
ral History.
6. Reports of the topography, soils,
minerals, peculiar manners, and actual
state of agriculture of every country and
district in the Southern States from which
such information can be obtained.
7. The consideration of public improve
ment by roads, railways and canals.
8. Discoveries in science, or the arts,
and occurrences of other events that are
considered likely to effect the interest of
agriculture.
TERMS:
The Southern Planter is published
every other week, each number consists
of eight 4to pages. Price $2 50 a year
—or $2 if paid in advance. Payments
may be made to the Editor through the
mail at his risk.

their first years subscription,shall receive
a fifth copy of the current year, without
additional charge.

THE SILK CULTURIST.
F§|YHE Executive Committee ofthe Hartford
JI. County Silk Society, have commenced a
publication, called the Silk Cultuiist and Far
mers Manual.
The object of the publication is to disseminate
a through knowledge ofthe cultivation ofthe
Mulberry Tree, in all iis varieties—the rearing
of Silk Worms—the production of Cocoons,
and the reeling of Silk, in the most approved
method. The importance of this knowledge
will appear from the fact that the nett profits ot
of landdevoted to the culture of Silk, is double,
if not triple, tothat derived from any other crop
which can be put upon it. It is also a fact, that
very moderate fanner can raise several hun
dred dollars worth of silk, without interfering
with his ordinary agricultural operations. But
in order toavail hnnself ofthis facility to obtain
competency and wealth, which our soil and
climate have given him, he must possess him
self of information on the subject—for without
it his attemps will be fruitless. It is, therefore
the object of the Committee to diff use this in
formation as extensively as possible, and at the
cheapest rate. The publication will contain a
complete manual or directory from sowinggthe
seed to reeling the Silk, together with such
facts and experiments, as will enable farmers
to laise Silk, and prepare it for market, without
further knowledge or assistance. It will also
contain interesting matter on agricultural sub
jects in general.
Terms.—TheCultnrist will be published in
monthly numbers of Eight Quarto Pages, at
Fifty Cents a year. No subscription will be re
:eived unless paid in advance, and for not less
than a year. t
Subscriptions received by F. G. Comstock,
Sec’y, Hartford, Conn., to whom also, Commit’
nicaiions may be addresescl, which if post paid,
will be attended to.
O’ Editors who will copy the above, shall
receive the publication tor one year.

enclosed, has been provided, adjoining the place
—and all possible care and attention will be
paid to mares, left with the horse; but no liabil
ity for escapes or accidents of any kind. Mares
fed at 25 cents per day if required, to be paid
before the mare is taken away. On Reference to
the large bill now before the public,will be seen
Contention’s pedigree 3 nd performances, on the
Race Course, and let judges say where is there
such a horse. Contention and Bertrand sen
are both sired bySir Archie, Bertrand sen is the
sire of that famous South Carolina Bertrand
Jun’r and the Public don’t forget that Conten
tion, is the sire of Ironett, which is reputed to
be the best 4 mile nag now in America, said to
be acknowledged byCol.William R. Johnson to
be a better nag than hisrenowned Trifle. Then
why need I say any thing more of Contention,
when it can be said for him, he is the sire ofthe
best 4 mile nag in America.
Mares sent to Contention by negroes, with
written instructions,will be attended to as if the
owners were present themselves. Address to
J. J. HARRISON, Sen or
