THE rAIUEi. SAVANNAH CHAMBER OF COM MERCE. To the Planters of Upland Cotton rs the State of Georgia: Gentlemen:—The mercantile commnnity has for some time directed its attention to the suggestion of some reasons by which you might be induced to pack your cotton in square bales, when preparing it for mar ket. Many planshave been proposed for a more rapid advance in putting up cottons in the shape recommended. • At one time, it was considered, that a pre mium on the square package might be effec- I tual, or that a deduction made on the round j bale, would accomplish the object. The opinion has prevailed, that the better course would be to address your interests by a different mode; knowing, that you yourselves must be convinced by experi ment, that the cotton you have packed in square bales, in most cases commanded a preference in sales, and very generally an advance in price, beyond the same quality in round bales, and that this argument must have great weight. It has been usually estimated, that cotton, packed in well formed square bales, would command one eighth to one quarter of a cent more than the ordinary round bales. This difference -would amount to forty-six cents in one case, and to ninety-two cents in the other, on a bale of three hundred and seventy-five pounds, or ninety dollars on one hundred bales. The introduction of the weight of a bale of cotton, three hundred and seventy-five pounds, is intended also to designate a con venient size for all purposes, and this weight can readily be pressed into the dimensions now recommended to you. In South Carolina, the custom of packing in square bales is almost univeral, and ob servation shows how many advantages are gained, when large supplies are received from Hamburg. It is supposed that the saving of labor in the operation of packing cotton in square bales, in addition to subsidiary advantages, would, in a short time, repay the expense of the screw and its appendages, and the appearance of bales would naturally please the eye of the owner and the buyer. The temptation to and the facilities of false packing, will in some degree be remov ed by making square bales, as experience demonstrates. In the prevalent desire to compress a large quantity of cotton both in round and square bales, the packages have become most unwieldly and-interrupt the stowage of vessels. Yet even in this state of the case, the square hales receive the prefer ence over the equal disproportionate round bales. But one of the most serious objections to this enlarged weight, arises in the freight or transportation. The dangers of the river navigation are increased, and in the same ratio must be the difficulties of saving the bales in case of accident, ami the stronger probability of loss to shipper or insurer. Square bales of cotton are less liable to injury by breaking or tearing than round, therefore are generally delivered in better condition, and this package is not more sub ject to damage by water. Buyers and shippers always prefer the square package. The Continental markets for Cotton demand square bales, and Savan nah has participated less in that trade, from the small supply of that description of pack age. Square hales can usually be shipped at a freight of one eight to one quarter of a cent less than round to any foreign port, for the reason, that the expense of stowing them is much less; the ship or vessel carries more, and her lading is accomplished with greater despatch. In stowing a vessel, the process of screw ing the bales makes less impression on a square than on a round bale. Therefore, it reaches the market in better condition, saves expense in mending and repairing, and loss of weight, which occurs in consequence of the round bales being broken into pieces, and result must be the loss of cotton from the bale. A ship of two thousand bales would be loaded with square bales in ten or fifteen days, whereas as the bales ordinarily come to our market, one third to one half more time must be consumed. - In Liverpool the demand for cotton “for export,” is almost exclusively supplied by square bales, and this demand must of con sequence be from the Continent. To an intelligent body of men, such as the Planters of Georgia are, these statements will carry conviction of the advantages and the policy of the measures proposed to them. By them the profit is to be received, and the reputation of their staple product will be extended, without any material in crease of expense. It may be asked, who will more probably share the direct and indirect benefits of the measures suggested than yourselves? Let it be kept distinctly before public mind,’ that the cotton of the United States is threatened with severe competition from various quarters. In its preparation for market, the Planters will find it necessary to exhibit all their natural advantages, and these must be sustained by all the artificial means in their power. Quality first, condi tion second, in order. Your interests and the interests of the State are commercially and individually ad dressed, by the recommendations proposed to your consideration, and it is fairly to be pre sumed, that these will not be neglected by those who are accustomed to such strict at tention to them. This communication is concluded by sta ting the dimensions of n bale (square) such as is universally approved: Length of bale, 5 feet 4 inches; depth, 2 feet 10 inches; width, 18 inches, secured by four ropes, and weighing 375 pounds. By order of the Chamber, JOSEPH CUMMING, President. Savannah, April 30,1842. For the purpose of packing square bales, we would recommend an invention of Mr. Robert Harding, of South Berwick, Maine, which, for compactness, simplicity, and im mense power, cannot be surpassed. The iron-work for one of these Presses’will cost something about SIOO. It can be put up in the gin-room, worked by one or two men, will occupy nine feet in height, seven feet in width, and about four feet in depth. Fur ther particulars can be obtained by address ing (post paid) G. S. HARDING, Savannah. ‘ From the Plough Boy. GARDEN WORK FOR THE MONTH. Snap Beans can be planted any time in this month; those wishing to have a regular supply, ought to plant them every week. They must at this season be planted in an open situation, and should the ground be dry, it would assist their growth by soaking the seed six or eight hours in soft water, be fore planting. Cabbage. —ls your cabbage plants for the autumn and winter crop was not sown last month, they ought to be sown early this, that they may be enabled to gather strength before the hot weather sets in; if they are not sown until next month, the seeds fre quently lie in the ground until the sun de stroys them, or the heavy rains which we have in July cripples them. Radishes. —Sowsalmon and turnip radish es, at any time this month, and where a con stant supply is wanted, the seed should be sown once a week at least; and in an open situation. Cucumbers, Melons, Squashes, Sec. —\ou may sow a successive crop of Cucumbers, Melons, Squashes, &c., at any time in this month. The seeds at this season, should be sown in an open situation, and if the weath er proves dry, give them a little water be fore they comeup, and they should be water ed in dry weather, frequently, when they do come up. Beets. —ls you have not sown your Beets for winter use, it ought to be done as early as possible, to enable them to get strength before the hot weather sets in. Look out this month for weeds; there is no work in your garden that requires more attention than this; for weeds are at no time more dangerous to crops than at the present. It should be one of the first duties of a gardener to destroy them before they grow too large, othenvise they exhaust the goodness of the land, and ruin the crops. Watering is a very needful work in dry weather, to all new transplanted crops. — Regular attention to this business, will prove very beneficial in accelerating the fresh rooting, and setting the plants off in a free growth from the beginning, which would otherwise be greatly checked or stinted. The fruit garden. —About the beginning of this month examine well all your fruit trees, more especially the Peach, Necterine, and Apricot, for they require your greatest care and attention. * Fig trees. —At any time this month,should succours come from the bottom of your Fig trees, let them be taken away, as soon as they appear, as they deprive the shoots and fiuit of their nourishment; if any young shoots appear on the old wood, let them be cut away, but do not cut the old wood, which will occasion the tree to bleed. Water newly planted tiees m dry weath er, at least once a week. On removing large evergreens. —Autumn being the season that gardeners generally prefer for removing evergreens, I beg to offer the results of my own experience. Having several arbutus killed with the frost last winter in the most conspicuous parts of the garden, we waited till the latter end of April to see if they would recover; but find ing they did not, my employer wished to have them replaced with some large hand some Portugal laurels, and after attempting, but in vain, to defer it till the autumn, I re luctantly complied with his wishes. In the first place, I caused the holes to be made very large, then put five barrow-loads of hot bed mauure into each hole, after that some leaf-mould and sand, and then poured water into it till it was a complete puddle, so that when the ball of the plant was put into it, it sunk down and filled the side3 all round. The surface of the ground was then levelled all round the plant, and the weather being very hot at the beginning of the summer, we gave them some water three or four times. They began to grow immediately, and they have made three times the progress that some we removed three years ago in the month of October, have done. We trans planted evergreen oaks and hollies at the same time, with equal success, while ever green oaks that were transplanted three years in October have never properly recov ered. From this I am persuaded, that spring is the best time for removing large evergreens, as they begin to grow immedi ately, and get that support which the leaves require; whereas, when planted in the au tumn, they are five or six months loose in the ground without any support at all.— Robert Towers, Gr. to P. Waterhouse, Air burgh, near Liverpool. Save your own seed. —We have from time to time called the attention of the Farming community, to the subject of saving their own Garden and Field Seeds, and we would again call up *.o your minds, this important matter. We see, and hear of large amounts of money being sent out of our State in the course of the year for Seed, and if we, as a people, had been saving our own Seed for the last ten or twenty years, wc would have a eieater amount of means in the country than we have. We hope every Farmer in the State will turn his attention to saving his Seed, and as wc wish to establish a regular Seed Store and Repository at this Office, we call upon our friends to aid us, and send us their Seed, that we may furnish all who may apply. Wo. see other States around us raising Seed for export, and why cannot we do likewise? Why not export instead of import 1 and were we to pursue this course, we would in a very short time, hear of the beneficial and glorious results all over the land. Again, we would say to our friends, save your own Garden as well as Field Seeds, and we will soon hear of a little better times at least. We drop these few remarks, hoping that wc will export Seeds, as well as other articles, for we think it high time to do so. We rejoice to hear of S3)IBU'JiIB LB St Ul LI 2SIBILILA it N 1 a many who are waking up to their own in terest, and saving their Seed. Will our friends give us the result of their experience, that we may lay it before our readeis for future reference?— The Agriculturist. ■ i_|_ . g THE HUi©lSl§? “ Plenty good enough .”—At one of our fashionable watering places, recently hap !>ened a self-important foreigner who upon tearing the dinner-bell rung at half-past 3 o’clock, exclaimed, “ Is it possible you dine at this early hour in this country ? Why, I have not been used to dining till 7 or <3 o’clock in London.” “ Our second table folks dine here very late also,” was the re ply of a Yankee present. An old lady who bad numbered her nine tieth year, was asked by a sprightly miss ’in her teenth, at what period of life ladies lost all relish for gallantry. To which the an cient matron, with a significant look, replied, “ indeed, my child, you must put the ques tion to someone older than I am.” Miss Martineau tells the story of an old woman who was urged to cross the river Forth in a ferry boat at the time a storm seemed brewing. She hesitated ; the boat man asked if she would trust in Providence. “ Na, na,” said she, “ I will not trust to Providence as long as there is a bridge at Sterling.” A pretty little brunette was passing along the street a few days since, when she was accosted by a strange man, rather the worse for liquor, who inquired if her mother was as black as she was. “[believe not.” was the reply ; “ hut ptay tell me if your father was as blue as you are.” Charity. —An illiterate personage, who always volunteered to go round with the hat, but was suspected of sparing his own pocket, overhearing one day a hint to that effect, made the following speech : “ Other gentle men puts down what they think proper, and so do I. Charity’s a private concern, and what I gives is nothing to nobody .” Old Jamaica. —“ What is the matter with that man ?” asked a passer-by as he recog nized a fellow lying in the gutter. “He is slewed .” “ Who slew him ?” “Old Jamai ca.” Underbidding. —A Frenchman assured one of our friends, that his countrymen nev er buy an article at the seller’s first price. “ For instance,” said he, “ one of them came into my store the other day, and pric ed a pair of silver buckles. I asked seven dollars.” “ Eleven ! I give you nine.” Sev en is the price, sir, not eleven.” “ Seven ! I give you five.” “ Doctor,” said Mr. B. to his medical ad viser one day : “ isn’t there a disease called shingles 1” “‘Yes, to be sure,” replied Galen. “ Then I’ve got it, for certain,” says 8., “ for the roof of my mouth is broken out in a dozen places!” A feeling Squeeze. —An Illinois editor says, he lately met a man who was carrying his band in a sling, and who being inquired of for the reason, replied that one of the candidates had squeezed it so hard that he had no feeling in it since. Truth in Men. —“ There is no truth iu men,” said a lady in company. “ They are like musical instruments, which sound a variety of tones.” “In other words, ma dam,” said a wit who chanced to be present, “ you believe that all men are lyres'’ Parisian Courage. —As an old woman was lately walking through one of the streets of Paris at midnight, a patrole called out, “ Who’s there ?” “It isl, patrole,” said she, “ don’t be afraid.” [PtUJtBLO© ©tPOMQ®M a OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. We acknowledge with pride the flatter ing notices which have been taken of our enterprise by our exchanges in different parts of the country, and copy a few of the many that have met our eye, in order that our readers may see the estimation in which our undertaking is held, by those competent to judge. These notices are far more favor able than we had any right to expect —un- der the circumstances; but now, that we ap pear in full dress, (as we intended our first issue should have appeared) we beg our brethren to give us a thorough examination and candid notice. Wc are anxious to hear their opinions of our sheet now. Shall we have them ? Southern Miscellany —The first number of this paper is before us. The mechanical, as well as the selected and original parts, are well and judiciously arranged, and displays great taste and talent. It is published in Madison, Georgia, by C. R. Hanleiter. We hope that our friend Cornelius will receive a generous support, and that Madi sou may rank among the first towns in Geor gia, for wisdom and prosperity.— Hamburg (S.C.) Journal. Southern Miscellany. —A weekly paper has been commenced in Madison, Georgia, under this title, and from the appearance of the second number, which we have before us, we are induced to think that it is the in tention of its proprietor to spare no expense in making it a valuable Family Newspaper. It is published by C. R. Hanleiter, at $2 50 per annum, in advance.— Edgefield fS. C.) Advertiser. Southern Miscellany. —We have received the third number of this new paper, printed in Madison, Georgia. It is a very neat pa per, and the best exchange we receive from the South.— Raleigh (N.C.) Rasp. Southern Misccllany. —Wc have received the first number of this new paper—publish ed weekly at Madison, Morgan County, by C.R. Hanleiter. The typographical execu tion is neat, the editorial well penned, and the selections made with discrimination. It is a good specimen number. Mr. Hanleiter has made a judicious selection for his place of publication, and for old associations, as well as a feeling of friendship which for the most part prevails with the craft, we wish him good luck in his enterprise.— Georgia (Macon) Messenger. Southern Miscellany. —We received, a few mails ago, the first number of anew paper under the above title, edited by C.R. Hanleiter, and published at Madison, in this State, at $2 50 per annum. It is of respect able dimensions,printed on good paper, with a fair type. It is termed “ a Family News paper, devoted to literature, the arts, sci ence, agi iculture, mechanics, education,for eign and domestic intelligence,” Sec. We are much pleased with the first number, and trust Mr. Hanleiter will succeed in his un dertaking, and permanently establish a use ful and profitable paper. He eschews par ty politics. We know how very difficult it is to acquire patronage for any publication in Georgia, which does not espouse and sus tain the interests of one or other of the great political parties into which the State is divi ded. We say this with regret, for we think it should be otherwise. Not that we would discard politics. In a Republican country like ours, whose institutions are founded on public opinion, every man, to some extent, should be a politician—every man should know more or less of the science of govern ment, or at least the general principles upon which government is based. But how little of this do we find in the party prints and party discussions of the present day ! and how precious little of it in the harangues of the political party leaders! How much bet ter if they would, one and all, study and seek after sound principles more, and party less. We should then have more politicians and fewer demagogues—more disinterested leaders and more ulightened citizens. But apart from considerations like the a bove, we would further remark, there are too many party papers in the State already, and mortf political editors than politicians, who are, for the most part, fonder of crea ting political dissention, than preaching har mony, peace and good will among their readers; and we are always glad when our eye reposes on a page whose editor stands aloof from this troubled pool. We, love to see a board at which all can sit in happy harmony—a feast of reason, where all may come and partake freely. Such are our literary periodicals, and such, we trust, will be the weekly sheet before us. We look favorably on Mr. Hanleiter’s project from another consideration. There is an extended taste inthisState for “Fam ily Newspapers”—scraps—a little of every thing; how honorable or not to the mental depth and maturity of the reader we say not, but there is a large prevailing taste that way, whetlior honorable or otherwise, and thousands of dollars are annually sent North for its gratification. Here now is a paper to their taste, within their own State, and in addition to gratifying their appetite, they can gratify their patriotism also, by spending their money at home—on a paper too as cheap as any of the Family Newspapers at the North. We shall be gratified, there fore, to learn that the Southern Miscellany is largely patronized. An article on Sab bath Schools will be found on our first page, copied from the Miscellany, which should be read by every parent, and which may serve as a specimen of this new publication. • Georgia (Griffin) Jeffersonian. New Paper. —By the Western mail last evening, we received the first number of a new paper issued at Madison, in this State, entitled the “ Southern Miscellany.” It is published weekly, by Mr. C. R. Hanleiter, at $2 50 per annum, in advance. The Mis cellany makes a very respectable appear ance, both as to matter and manner, and we hope its enterprising publishei will be sus tained in his new undertaking by the citizens of Madison, and vicinity, who no doubt feel the want of such a publication among them. Savannah Republican. A New Paper. —We yesterday received ’ the first number of the Southern Miscellany, a Family Newspaper, devoted to miscella neous subjects. It is published at Madison, Georgia, by Mr. C. R. Hanleiter, at $2 50 per annum, in advance. Its typographical execution is very neat, and its columns well filled. We wish our young friend the success which he merits for his enterprise. We shall with pleasure ex change with him, and his hebdomedal can be seen at our office.— Savannah Georgian. “ Southern Miscellany.'' —The first num ber of anew paper with the above caption, published in Madison, Morgan County, Geo., was received by us per last mail. It is edi ted and published by C. R. Hanleiter, and we must do him the justice to say, that it is a very neatly got up sheet, and a credit to the pretty village from which it emanates.—- South- Western Georgian. The Southern Miscellany. —We owe an apology to the Editor of the “Miscellany,” for our delay in noticing his excellent week ly, to which a friend has called our attention. Wo had intended a notice of it on the re ceipt of the first number, but among the multiplicity of our engagements it was omitted. The old adage however, “better late than never,” will apply in this case, and we take great pleasure in awarding to the Miscellany, that mede of praise so justly due. It is a neat weekly, conducted with spirit, eschews politics, and is devoted to miscellaneous reading,agriculture, the news, &c. The selections for it manifest the good taste and sound judgment of the Edi tor, and its original articles are not deficient in ability. In short it is an excellent family newspaper, and is well worthy the patron age of an intelligent community. We wish the Editor more success than we fear awaits his enterprise in these trying times. The Miscellany is published weekly, at Madison, Ga., >y C. R. Hanleiter, at two dollars and fifty cents per annum in advance.— Augusta Chronicle Sf Sentinel. Masonic Notice.
