SOTTHBB.IT M'JSxTJM, God Save the I’i.oi «.if.--Those only, who have Blood between Ihe thil!<, anti guided the “shining share, can fully appreciate the poetry truth and Sentiment wli ieh pervade ihe “thoughts that breathe, and n urds that burn," in the fol lowing nervous tribute by the gifted Mrs. Si noi'RNEV, to that imp rrlant implement of the Farmer, the I'imigJi. It is the same measure as the English National A rill— in of “God Save the King.” God Save the Plough. See, —how the shining share Makclh earth’s bosom fair, — Crowning her brow, —* Bread in its furrow springs, Health and repose it brings, Treasures unknown to kings, God save the Plough ! Look to the warrior's blnde, While o'er the tented glade, Hate breathes his vow, — Strife its unsheathing wakes, Love at its lightning quakes, Weeping and wo it makes. God save the Plough ! Ships o'er the deep may ride, Storms wreck their banner’d pride, Waves whelm their prow, But the the well-loaded wain Garnereth the golden grain, Gladdening the household-train. God save the Plough ! Who are the truly great ? Minions of pomp and stnte, Where the crowd how ? Give us hard hands and free, Culturers of field and tree, Best friends of liberty. God save the Plough ! Extract from President Garland's .Jddrcss. Draining Lund. The first important step in the success ful cultivation of land, is by draining, to withdraw from it all superfluous water ; for while as much water as a soil can hold by cappillary attraction is useful to vege tation, yet where it superabounds, it acts injuriously in several ways. 1. In the first place, it will cause the particles of the soil to run closely togeth er and adhere, and while die water is pre sent, it is impossible to reduce such a soil to a state of minute mechanical divi sion. The roots, therefore, of plants, arc by the close and impervious nature of the soil prevented from branching and run ning off in search of their proper food. 2. In the second place, from land sat urated with water, evaporation is always going on. The heat which is essential to the conversion of water into vapour is drawn from the soil, which is thus render ed several degrees colder than it would be, if properly drained. We not unfre quently hear one speaking of a particular soil as being cold. It is a very proper designation, and the cause is to be found in the presence of superfluous moisture; so that the draining of such soils, as John son well remarks, is equivalent to an en tire change of climate. 3. In the third place, the in'erstices of such a soil, being already filled with wa ter, are impervious to air. Now the presence of air in the pores of the soil is necessary to supply Oxyen to the vegeta ble matter, that it may g.adully decom pose, and furnish nourishment to the growing plant. 4. In the fourth place, the existence of subsoilwater prevents rain-water from do cending into the soil and reaching the roots. But rain water absorbs the Nitrate and Carbonate of Ammonia as it decends through the atmosphere, and is the vehicle upon which these nutricious elements are c.ftnvpvpd to r*lanf« ~j ~ i t ’ 5. Lastly. Draining actually deepens the effective soil of a piece of wet land.— The roots of plants, (unless they belong to the family of aquatics) will not descend into a soil saturated with water, arid where water lies to within a few inches of the surface, it is only these few inches which can avail for the support of vegetation. % removing the water, we do thereby deepen the effective soil, into which the roots of plants will freely descend. Now, as subsoil water exerts so perni cious an influence in the several ways men tioned, you will at once perceive the ne cessity of removing it from the soil. This is a branch of agriculture which our farm ers too much neglect. I see many spots in your fields, indeed many entire fields, which are almost unproductive from such neglect, and which might be reclaimed by a moderate expenditure of labor, for which you would be amply remunerated the first year. In tlie draining of lands there is room for the display of a good deal of knowl edge and skill. It is not that simple pro cess which is usually imagined. Have you never seen a farmer spend much time and money in ditching a piece of land, and to his astonishment it is not thereby drain ed ] There is great judgment in locating the trenches; and for this purpose a knowledge of the strata through which the springs rise is indispensable. It would be useless labor merely to let the water run into the drains after it has sprung through the surface, and of no benefit lo carry it off after it has soaked the soil. The ori gin of springs must be detected ; and one single drain judiciously disposed, cutting off the water before it runs into the soil, may lay dry a great extent of land. A knowledge of the geology of the country would in every case be useful to the fann er ; and in the want of this, the advice of a scientific and practical drainer is well worth the cost at which it may be obtain ed. I cannot dwell for the purpose of entering into any details upon this subject If l have succeeded in pointing out to you its importance, 1 hope you will refer for its practical application to such works as treat specially upon it; of which, Lord El kington’s is the best Tiic llan who Kissed the Three Girls. A young man who boarded at a bouse in the country, wheie were several coy damsels who seemed to imagine that men are terrible creatures, whom it was an un pardonable sin to look at, was one after noon accosted by an acquaintance, and asked what he thought of the young ladies with whom he boarded I He replied that they were very shy and reserved. “iSo they are,” returned the other, “and so much so that no gentleman could get near enough to tell the color of their eyes.” “That they may be,” said the boarder, “yet I will stake a million that 1 can kiss them all three, without any trouble.” “That you cannot do,” replied his friend, “it is an achievment which neither you nor, any other man can accomplish.” The other was positive and invited bis friend to the house to witness his triumph. 1 They entered the room together, and the i three girls were all at home sitting beside their mother, and they all looked prim and demure as John Rodgers at the stake. Our hero assumed a very grave aspect, even to dejection, and having looked wist fully at the clock, breathed a sigh as deep as Algebra, and as long as a femrle dia logue at a street door. His singular de portment now attracted the attention of’ the girls, who cast their slow opening eyes up to his countenance. Perceiving the impression he had made, he turned to his companion and said, “It wants three minutes of the time !” “Do you speak of dinner ?” said the old lady, laying down her sewing work. “Dinner!” said he; with bewildered aspect, and pointing, as if unconsciously, with curled forefinger, at the clock. A silence ensued, during which the fe male part of her household gazed at the young man, with irrepressible curiosity. “You will see me decently interred,” said he, again turning to his friend. ’ O o His friend was as much puzzled as any body present, and his embarrassment add ed to the intended effect ; but the old la dy, being no longer able to contain herself, cried, “Mr. G , pray what do you speak of?” N “Nothing,” answered lie, in a lugubrous tone, “but that last night a spirit appeared unto me /” Here the girls rose to their feet and drew near. “And the spirit gave me warning that 1 should die exactly at twelve o’clock to-day, and you see it wants but half a minute of the time ! ’ The girls turned pale, and their hidden sympathies were at once awakened for the doomed. They stood chained to the spo', looking alternately at the clock and at tht unfortunate South. Ho then walked up to the eldest of the girls, and taking her by the hand, bade her a solemn farewell, lie also imprinted a kiss upon her trem bling lips, which she did not attempt to resist. He then bade the second and third farewell in the same tender and affection ate manner. His object was achieved, and that moment the clock struck twelve. Hereupon, he looked around, surprised, and ejaculated, “Who would have believ ed that an apparition would tell such a lie ’! It was probably the glto. tof Anna nias or Sapphira.” Ic was some time before the sober mai dens understood the joke, and when they did, they evinced no resentment. The first kiss broke the ice ; and, thanks to the ghost, they discovered there was some pleasure in a bearded cheek. PROSPECTUS OF T h e € r u s n <1 e r. undersigned have adopted the above, as X the significant title of a Monthly Paper, which with sufficient encouragement, they pro pose to publish in the City of Macon, to he de voted to the interests of Temperance, Educa tion and Religion. The plan ofthis work was first suggested, in view ot the rapidly growing numbers within the ranks of the Sons of Temperance, and the in creasing demand for light, touching the objects and movements of this benevolent and flourish ing“ Order.” We believe that a Divine agency is manifest in the startling progress and triumphs of this great moral organization. It is God’s work. He is now summoning his “embattled hosts” for a crusade against the greatest foe that ever scourged the earth. Temperance, there fore, will stand prominent upon our banner. But while we march under the “triple flag,” and solicit the patronage and fostering care of “The Sons,' yet, we shall claim the privilege of striking some good blows for Education and Religion. “The Order of the Soils,” we regard, under God, as the handmaid of the Church, the harbinger ofßeligion—“preparing the way ofthe Lord.” We shall spare no pains to make Tile Crusader a work of standard merit ; to give it a decided character for u-efulness, and to make it a work interesting to general readers. CONDITIONS. TI»C ClilNilder will be issued in Month ly numbers, containing Sixteen quarto pages each, at One Dollar per annum, payable on the delivery ofthe first number. The Second Num ber will in no ease be sent to a subscriber unless the subscription price shall have been forwarded previously to the time of its issue. Persons acting as agents will receive ten per cent, upon all amounts remitted. Upon the re ception of twenty cash subscribers, the agent shall also be entitled to a copy of the work as a bonus. It is especially desired that those who may become agents, or may interest themselves in obtaining subscribers, will act immediately, and forward such names as may be pledged, at the earliest possible date, as it is our wish to make our first issue by the Ist of February, if the requisite patronage can be secured. Editors who may be friendly to the enterprise, will oblige us by giving this Prospectus an inser tion, and if desired they shall receive an extra 1 copy of The Crusader. Communications may be addressed to either of the Editors. W. 11. ELLISON, E. 11. MYERS, J. R. THOMAS, G. 11. HANCOCK. Macon, December 30, 1848. COI RT CALENDAR FOB 1849. Superior Courts. JULY.

I'o the Honorable Inferior Court of Ilibb County' The undersigned in obedience to your request, has carefully examined the Books and Pnpejs showing the indebtedness of the County of Bibb) and he is happy to state that lie finds that the County is able to pay all its debts. Since September, 1847, there lias been paid and canceled, County Orders amounting to the sum 0f5i12,477 27. A plain record has been kept of the payment of each Order and a copy in substance of each, and by whom paid, is entered on the Minutes of this Court, that every tax payer who Avislies can see what lias become of bis money paid to the Tax Collector. 3 he indebtedness of the County- as shown from the Clerk’s Books, is $2,546 20 Assets Avhich can he made available, 2,639 00 Excess in favor ofthe County, $92 80 This may approximate to the true amount, but I regret to add that it is not altogether reliable. In some instances Orders marked “paid” on the Bill book,are yet in circulation, and some Or ders are in circulation that have never been entered on the Clerk’s books. I would respect fully suggest that a iicav set ofßooks be opened and that after the amount now due the Countv is applied in extinguishment of outstanding debts that all persons holding Orders, if there should he any, present them to this Court and secure in lieu thereof, County Scrip, redeemable in Taxes, and that all Orders issued hereafter be redeemable in Taxes, and so expressed in the face thereof This would give the County a good credit and enable it to obtain labor and materials at fair prices.

FB3HE Editors of the Congressional Globe pro- X pose anew publication. To deserve the patronage which Congress has accorded to their ' reports of its debates, in receiving and making ! the Globe the official register, they intend to add promptitude to whatever merit has hitherto re commended the work. They will publish a Daily Globe, to record the proceedings and de bates as they occur ; and a Congressional Globe periodically, as heretofore, embodying the re ports of Congress separate from the miscellaneous matter which will accompany them in the daily print. To fill the sheet of the daily newspaper, it is designed to gather the news from all quar ters, and complete the contents by drawing from every source that may be of most interest among literary novelties, and of greatest utility in scien tific and practical works on agriculture. For material, the leading journals and periodicals of France and Great Britain, treating of such sub jects, will be consulted, and, it is hoped, advan tageously used. Original essays, especially on topics connected with agriculture, will be obtain ed from the most enlightened and practical men of our country. i The Globe, as a newspaper, and ns a vehicle i of information and amusement in other respec's, I will be under the charge of Francis P. Blair I and James C. Pickett. The Congressional ; department and business concerns of the paper will be under the management of John G. Rives. The public are familiar with Blair and Rives as connected with the press. In introducing Mr. Pickett as one of the concern, they will be al lowed to say a few words of him. lie is a gen tleman favorable known to the Government, for talent and judgment which distinguished his di plomatic service while connected with the mis sion to Quito ; and more recently when Charge d'Affaires to Peru. From his pen mainly the Globe will derive the selections and translations from the French journals and periodicals, the comments on them, and the other literary articles which will he found among its chief attractions. The Globe will be published daily during the session of Congress, and Weekly the balance of the year, and will undergo distribution in the form of a Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe arid an Appendix. The Weekly Globe will he the vehicle of the miscellaneous articles of the daily print, w ith a synopsis of the Congressional proceedings. The Congressional Globe will embody, as it has done for the last sixteen years, Congression al pioceedingsand debates exclusively. The Appendix will embrace the revised speeches separately, and the messages of the President of the United States, and the reports of the Heads ofthe Executive Departments. The Congressional Globe and Appendix w ill he published as fust as the proceedings of Con gress will make a number. Subscribers may ex pect one number of each a week during the first four weeks of a session, and two or three num bers of each a week afterwards, until the end of the session. Nothing of a political party aspect will appear in the Globe save that which will he found in the Congressiohal reports. A paper assuming to he an impuitiai vehicle for all sides, cannot maintain its character if the editorial columns reflect a party lute. The Editors of the Globe have home their share in the party conflicts of the press They claim an honorable discharge from the vocation. The Globe will inviolnhlv maintain the neutrality which its relation to Congress imposes. TERMS: For one copy of the Daily Globe (daily during the session of Congress, and Weekly during the recess,) a year, : : §5 00 For one copy of the Weekly Globe, one year, 2 00 For one copy of the Congressional Globe, during the next session, if subscribed for before the first day of January, 1 00 For one copy ofthe .Appendix during the next session, if subscribed for before the first day of January, : 1 00 For six copies of either the Congressional Globe, or the .‘Appendix, or part of both, 5 00 The subscription for the Congressional Globe or the Appendix, after the Ist of January, will he .4(1 SO. The original price of One Dollar does not pay the expenses of the publication in consequence of the great increase of matter pub lished. Our prices for these papers are so low that we cannot afford to credi; them out ; therefore no person need consume time in orderiug them, unless the subscription price accompanies the order.
