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)

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.

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.”

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

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.

the third number of this new paper, printed

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.

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.

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,
