From an English Paper.
In Pmlse of the (load Old Plough.
I.
Let them sing who may of the battle fray*,
And the deeds that have long since past ;
Let them chant in praise of the tar ** hose days
Are spent on the ocean vast;
I would render to these all the worship you please
I woulJ honor them even now,
lint I'd give far more from my heart's full store
To the cause of the Good Old Plough.
11.
Let them laud the notes, that in music floats
Through their bright and their glittering hails- |
While the amorous tnirl of the hair’s bright curl
Round the shoulder of Beauty falls;
But, dearer to me is the song from the tree,
And the rich and the blossoming bough ;
Oh ! these are the sweets which the rustic greets
As he follows the Good Old Plough.
111.
Then how jocund tiie song as it comes along
Front the Ploughman's lusty throat ;
Did the hunter's shout, ever yet give out
To the brown woods a merrier no*e ?
Tito’ be follow* a u bound,yet his day is crowned
With a triumph ns good, I trow,
As though antlered head at his feet lay dead,
Instead of the Good Old Plough.
IV.
lull many there be that we daily see
With a sollish and hollow pride,
W hom the ploughman's lot, in his huntblccot,
With a scornful look deride ;
Vet I'd rather take, aye a hearty shake
From his hand, than to wealth I’d how ;
For the honest grasp of that hand’s rough clasp
Hath stood by the Good Old Plough.
V.
All honor lie then to these gray old men,
When at last they are bowed with toil ;
Their warfare then o'er, why they battle no more
For they've conquered the stubborn soil.
And the chaplet each wears are his silver hairs
And ne’er shall the victor's brow
With a laureled crown to tho grave go down,
Like these sons of the Good Old Plough.
From IF. B. Seubrook's Essay.
liolntiou of Crops.
The subject of a rotation of corps, it is
hazarding but little to assert, is not under
stood in the cotton-growing region ; nor
perhaps in the United States. The tin
soundness of the excretionary theory of De
Candolle lias at length been satisfactorily
determined by a Scotch chemist,* who
has re-established the principle, that every
p'ant abstracts from the soil its specific
aliment, of which, by long cultivation in
u single crop it may be wholly deprived;
and that unless this aliment lie restored, it
must remain unfit for profitable cultivation.
When arable land is allowed to lie fallow
for two or three years, its productive ca
pacity becomes greatly improved. By the
rotting of the grass,t which absorbs no pot
ash, and tho decomposition of the sub
stances by which saline ingredients are
let free, it is again enabled to reward the
labors of the husbandman. The fact and
the reason soon led to a broader field of
examination. It is now known that the
injury to the land from a green crop is
less than if it had been allowed to ripen.
According to the chemical researches of
M. Laussurc, the ashes of the plants of
peas (Pisum Pativum) when green, con
tain only 17.2d per cent of phosphate of
lime, but that when ripe, they yield 22
per cent. The wheat plant which held
10.73 per cent in flower, contained 11.73
per cent in its matured state. The same
result was obtained from other plants ab
sorb the most from the atmosphere ; plants
having the smallest system of leaves most
exhaust the soil of common nutritive mat
ter. Plants withdrawingthesamealiment
from the soil will mutually injure one
another, if grown beside each other ; on
the contrary, if they absorb substances of
different kinds, they may not only advan
tageously be cultivated side by side, but
be reared in succession. \Y here potash
abounds, tobacco might be made to follow
wheat, or wheat tobacco. In the cereals
phosphates are invariably present ; the
narcotic plants do not require these salts.
The wool of cotton subtracts from the soil
a mere trace of the phosphate of potassa ;
the seed 31.31 per cent.; the wool 23.41
per cent, of the phosphate of litne ; the
seed Gl.Ol percent. The ash of the cot
ton seed moreover has treble the plios
phoric acid, (the most vahied mineral con
stituent of a soil) possessed by fibre. Corn
takes from the soil less potassa and lime,
bui more phosphoric acid, than cotton; and
sweet potatoes more potassa but less lime
and phosphoric acid. The main crops of
the planter therefore, absorb the same in
gredients ffpin the soil, though in different
proportions. The practice of planting
oats on land set apart for cotton is obvi
ously injuriovs, especially if the cation
stalks be removed or burnt ; for not only
do you prevent a large return to the soil
of the very elements it most needs, but
a crop succeeds which robs it of a consider
able portion of potash.j;
"Alfred Gyde, who has shown that the minute
excretions of plants have the same composition
with their sap. He watered plants with a solu
tion of their excretions nut only without injury,
but to their manifest benefit
tGrass contains carbon 45 per cent ; hydrogen
5 ; oxygen 33 ; nitrogen 1 and ashes f) per cent.
IThe reason why oats exhausts land is here
explained
Acute Yankee lias invented a hen’s
nest, in the bottom of which there is a
kind of trap door, through which the egg.
when laid, immediately drops, and the hen
looking lound and perceiving none, soon
lays another.
C'iicerfi l Mcsic.—The poet Carpani
once asked his friend Hudyn, “ How it
happened that his chuich music was always
of an animating, cheerful, and even gay
description.” To this, Hadvn’s answer
was, “i cannot make it otherwise. I write
accordilig to the thoughts which 1 feel;
when 1 think upon God, my heart is so
full of joy, that the notes dance and leap,
as it were from my pen ; and since God
has given me a cheerful heart, it will be
easily forgiven me that 1 serve him with
a cheerful spirit.”
Oh ! how many ties there are to
bind the soul to earth. W hen the strong
est are cut asunder, and the spirit feels
cast loose from every bond which connects
it with mortality, how imperceptibly does
one little tendiil after another become en
twined about it, and and aw it back with gen
tier power.
BTT* A few weeks since a good humored
Irishman applied to an English merchant
to discount a bill of exchange for him at
rather a long, though not unusual date,
and the merchant having casually remark
ed that, the bill bad a great many days to
run : “ That’s true,” replied the Irishman,
“ but then you and n’t consider how short
the days are at this time of the year.” •

This unrivalled Family Magazine, universally
acknowledged by the Press n* (he best American
Periodical published, offers at tho commence
ment ot the Third Volume unusual inducements
to subscribers. Its features hereafter will be en
tirely American, including American Views,
Portraits, I ales, and Sketches. A series of En
graving*, from tho Paintings of our best Artists,
including Cole, Gignoux, Durand, Edmonds, and
others, is in vigorous preparation, and the facile
pencil of the inimitable Dailey is now actively
engaged in enriching Holden with his Portraits
of the Public Men of America.
The Portraits of Distinguished American Di
vines will be continued in every Number, as
heretofore, with life-like sketches of their lives
and ministry. Each Number will be filled with
Tales, Poems, Essays, Reviews,Sketches,Trans
lations, Topics of the Month, and will embrace
everything amusing, instructive and readable,
nowin progrts. in the world.
Asa Family Magazine, the Editor is confident
that no rivalry can ati'cct, or opposition lessen its
value and worth, and lie offers it to the world
al, in-tone, character, literary merit, and llustra
live i'cauty, the Model Magazine of the Niue
| tecnill Century ! ! !
| No Family in the land can afford to bo without
Ilolden in it* circle; for when such a periodical
can he obtained one year for One Dollar, who
will not wish to subscribe ?
The great feature of Holden is, that, while
being peculiarly American in sentiment and feel
ing, it gathers and embodies all the beauties of
the French, English and American Periodicals,
while discarding their follies and vires. A com
bination ofthe Encyclopaedia, the Gazetteer, the
Quarterly Review, and the Weekly Newspaper,
it is yet separate and distinct from ail, hut pos
sessing enough of their various qualifications to
commend itself to every reader.
The object ot the Editor has been to give a
Three Dollar Magazine for one third price, and
a glai re at llolden s will shew the result. Now
he only asks the support of the community, and
in return ill give improvements as they are de
manded.
Now is the time to subscribe, as those sending

PROSPECTUS
OF
T h c € r is s si and e r .
rfiMIE undersigned have adopted the above, as
5 the significant title of a Monthly Paper,
which with sufficient encouragement, they pro
pose to publish in the City of Macon, to be de
vot ’d to the interests of Temperance, Educa
tion and Religion.
The plan ofthis work was first suggested, in
view of the rapidly growing numbers within the
ranks of the Hons of Temperance, and the in
creasing demand for light, touching the objects
and movements of this benevolent and Rourisb
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
liosts'’fora crusade against the greatest foe that
ever scourged the earth. Temperance, there
fore, will stand prominent upon G«r 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 Sons,” we regard
under God, as the handmaid ofthe Church, the
harbinger of Religion—'“preparing the way ofthe
Lord.”
We shall spare no pains to make The
dnisndci* a werk ot standard merit ; to give
it a decided character for u-efulness, and to
make it a work interesting to general readers.
CONDITIONS :
The Unixadt'r will be issued in Month
ly numbers, containing Sixteen quarto pages
each, at One Dollar per annum, parable on the
delivery of the first number. The Second Num
ber will in no case 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, 'he amort
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 net immediately,
and forward such names as may ho pledged, at
the earliest possible and :tc, as it is our wash in
make our first issue hy the Ist of February if
the requisite patronage can lie secured.
Editors who may he,friendly to the enterprise
will oblige us by giving ibis ProspeetTis ;fn inser
tion, and if desired they shall receive an evtia
copy of The Crusader
Communications may be addressed to cither
of the Editors.

Macon, December 30, 1818.
TIIE GLOBE :
.1 Congressional, Agricultural and Literary
.\eicspapcr.
Editors of the Congressional Globe pro-j
i. pose anew publication. To deserve the
patronage which Congress has accorded to their
reports ofits debates, in receiving and making
the Globe the official register, they intend to add
promptitude to whatever merit lias 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 dpily
print. To fill the sheet of the daily newspaper,
it is designed to gather the news fr»in till 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 frpin the most enlightened and practical men
of our country.
The Globe, as a newspaper, and as a vehicle
of information and amusement in other respec's,
will be under the charge of Francis P. Blair
and James C. Pickett. The Congressional
department and business concerns of the paper
will be under the management of John C. 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 bis di
plomatic service while connected with the mis
sion to Quito ; and more recently when Charge
d’Affaires to Peru. From bis 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 be 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
and an Appendix.
The Weekly Globe will he the vehicle of the
miscellaneous articles of the daily print, with a
synopsis of the Congressional proceedings.
The Congressional Globe will embody, as it
has done for the last sixteen years, Congression
al pioceedings and 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 will
be published as fast as the proceedings of Con
l gress will make a number. Subscribers may ex
pect one number of each a week during the first
four weeks of a session, mid two or three num
bers of each a week afterwards, until tho end of
the session.
Nothing of a political party aspect will appear
in the Globe save that which will be found in
the Congressiohal reports. A paper assuming
to be an impaitial vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
reflect a party hue. The Editors of the Globe
have borne their share in the party conflicts of
the press They claim an honorable discharge
from the vocation. The Globe will inviolably
maintain the neutrality which its relation to
Congress imposes.
TERMS:
I’or one copy of the Daily Globe (daily during
the session of Congress, and Weekly during
the recess,) a year, : <ss 00
For one copy of the Weekly Globe, one year, 2 00
For one copy of the Congressional Globe,

\ does not pay* tho expenses of the publication in
j consequence of the great increase of matter pub
lished. 1
I Our prices for these papers are so low that wo
cannot afford to crodi; them out ; therefore no
person need consume time in ordering them,
unless the subscription price accompanies the
order. BLAIR & RIVES.

PROSPECTUS
OF TIIE
SOUTHEISN MUSEUM.
A Weekly Paper, published in Macon, Ga
HILST the Paper will hear principally a
▼ ™ Literary character, we shall endeavor to
make it useful and interesting to all classes of the
community, by rendering it a disseminator ot
the latest intelligence—an advocate of virtue
—and a cens or of vice. In pursuing the plan
determined upon flic following will comprise
the leading departments of the Paper, which
we hope wi I carry the cheerfulness of knowl
edge and the light of truth wherever it is re
ceived.
General Politics. —Waiving all intention
of entering the arena of mere party politics,
we shall be content with presenting to our
readers the result of elections, nominations,
proceedings of conventions, &c., of both the
great parties that now divide the country, so far
as tbev may be deemed ot public, interest.
I Our columns will be open to the discussion of
any subject connected with the public good—
‘ excluding, however, all scurrilous or merely par
tizan communications.
Commercial. —Under this head will be found
the latest statement of the prices of Cotton at
the various markets for that article—together
with a carefully corrected Weekly Review and
Prices Current of our own Market.
Literature and Science. —Every field will
1 be traversed and every avenue pursued, that can
be thought to lead to those sacred retreats, where
Literature loves to bide herself from the common
gaze, that her labors mav be rendered conducive
to the public good. Selections from the best
Literary Periodicals, both Foreign and Domes-'
tic, will be made—Original Correspondence
encouraged—Domestic Talent supported—and
Science and Learning shall always obtain the
sincere advocacy of this Press.
Agriculture. —Whatever maybe deemed of
interest to those engaged iri Agricultural pursuits,
shall have due attention, and no efforts will be
spared to n.ake our paper interesting to the
Farmer.
General Intelligence. — In this department
will be found a general synopsis of Hie passing
events ofthe day. The ensuing Congress will
ho one of unusual interest, we shall therefore
keep our renders advised ofthe movements of
that body—We shall also give the proceedings of
our State Legislature, whilst in session. In fine,
whatever will have a tendency to devglopc the
rich and varied natural resources of our State,
elevate the moral character of its citizens, or
promote the prosperity and happiness of the
community in which we live, shall meet with
our ardent and humble support.
Holding these views, thus cursorily glanced
at, we seek the patronage ofthe Merchant—the
Mechanic—the Scholar—and the Philanthropist,
I in our undertaking; being satisfied in our own
I mind, that they will receive tin equivalent for
the patronage they may think proper to bestow.
