way of giving reasons why an organized society will be necessary to the promotion of the objects here spoken of—they must be obvious to every one. I will suggest a meeting of the planters of the County at some early day to take the same into con deration, that a society may be organized ; and I think of no time more appropriate than the Anniversary of our National In dependence. PLANTER. For the “ Southern Miscellany.” REPORT Os M• Dumas lo the French Academy on M. Bonclierie's process of preserving Wood. THA.VSI.ATEU BY EDWARD TILGII MAN, C. E. The Academy having charged M. M. Arago.de Mirabel, Poncelet, Gambey, Au dom, Boiissengault and myself with the ex amination of the memoir of Dr. Boncheric on the preservation of wood from decay, we proceed to the accomplishment of this duty. The Academy has already beheld the preparations of the author with so great an interest—it has, at this moment, such re markable specimens of the process before its eyes—that the labor of its Committee, in some respects at least, is greatly abridged. Dr. Bonclierie proposes to render wood much more durable, to preserve its elastici ty, to prevent its warping from alternate ex posure to dryness and moisture, to diminish its combustibility, to increase its tenacity and hardness, and, lastly, to give it colors ami even odor the most various and durable. All these requirements are obtained by novel, simple anil economical means, and by the aid of common and low-priced ma terials. To impregnate an entire tree with the proper coloring, or preservative mateii al, our author has recourse to no complicate mechanical means; he avails himself of the natural suction of the tree itself, which is sufficient to raise from the base to the hitli est branches, the liquids lie wishes to intro duce, provided that they are maintained at a certain degree of concentration ; thus, when a tree is severed from its roots the end is plungad in the liquor you wish it to im bibe, which, in a few days, ascends to its topmost leaves and pervades the whole veg etable tissue. It is not essential that the tree should retain all its branches or leaves —a few branches at the top is sufficient to induce the necessary suction ; neither is it requisite that it should always be preserved upright, which would often render the op eration impossible. Having cut it down and deprived it of its useless branches, the butt is then placed in contact with the liquid to be ab-o.bed, which penetrates the wood in every pait. Finally, it is not even neces sary to fell the tree, for if a cavity be excav ated at its base, or a transverse saw cut be made through a portion of the base, it will afford sufficient contact with the preserva tive liquid, and the absorption will be as rapid and complete as before. The impregnation which is thus affected in a short time, without trouble or expense, will be found to be a different procees from those hitherto attempted. The experiments which have been heretofore made to im pregnate wood already cut, have been effect ed by the action of the most powerful ma chines, or by the prolonged effect of the liquid in which it was submerged. The novel and ingenious process recommended by Dr. Bonclierie subjects to human indus try an immense natural force, ar.d permits it to introduce without labor, into the most delicate vegetable tissues, any soluble sub stance it may be thought useful to place there. If our author has resolved to grand problem lie proposed to himself in the most simple and practical manner, he has not evinced less sage city in the choice of ma terials necessary to produce the desired ef fects as to preservation, See. To increase the durability and hardness of wood, and to prevent the wet and dry rot, he introduces into its pores the pvrolignite of Iron : this substance is chosen because it is produced by pyroligriious acid, which is to be obtain ed in any forest where charcoal is made ; this acid is easily transformed into pyrolig nite of iron by putting it in contact, even when cold, with old scrap iron. The liquid thus prepared is replete with creosote, which, of itself, without the salt of iron, hardens and preserves wood as well as de fends it from the attacks of insects. Official experiments have been made at the fungus pits at Bordeaux upon hoops (circles) prepared by the author, which have resulted in establishing, in the most triumph ant manner, the great durability of wood thus embalmed. The unprepared hoops crumbled to pieces at the least touch,whilst tlie others were as sound as when first pla ced there. To prevent the warping of wood, to preserve its elasticity nnd diminish its combustibility, our author has recourse to tlie use of the chlorides which have nearly the desired effect. Fully impressed with the conviction that his process must shortly come into universal use, he is not content with the chloride of lime, already so cheap; he has experimented upon the sea water of the salt marshes, a costless material, in which he has found all the desirable qualities.— Wood prepared with these saline solutions, preserves its flexibility when exposed to the air many years J in their strips it may he bent and rebent the contrary way in a spiral without breaking; neither will it crack or warp from the greatest extreme of dryness. Lastly, it will not burn, or, at least, with such difficulty as to be easily extinguished. so these great and useful properties, which the Naval Constructor and Civil En gineer will appreciate and profit by, our author lias added others which, without be ing so importantly useful, promises to afford new methods and materials to the arts. He colors wood in clouds so various and so beautifully curious, that the cabinet maker will find it to his advantage to use the more common woods in lieu of the more costly. The specimens of these prepara tions now before the Accodemv relieves us from all detail; it will be sufficient to ob serve, 1 hat tho pvrolignite of iron, when used hy itself, produces a brown tint of the same color with those knotty parts of tho wood where the liquid cannot penetrate. When the pyrolignite is succeeded by 3ny tanning liguid it produces ink in the body of the wood, and we obtain, by these means, a blue-black or grey. A Prussian bine is caused by the absorption of the py rolignite immediately by the prussiatc of potash. By introducing successively acetate of lead and chromate of potash, the yellow chromate of lead is produced. We may pioduce the most various and beautiful effects by introducing simultane ously the pvrolignite of iron, the prussiate, the acetate of lead and the chromate of pot ash, which cause blended clouds of blue, green, yellow and brown. Thus we find our author does not con fine himself to the introduction of one li quid only, but causes many to enter the same vegetable, and thus produces any modifica tion of color lie may wish ; these solutions, causing such diversity of color, may be va ried almost to infinity. Chemistry is rich enough in reactions of this kind to satisfy the most fastidious caprice. We will not here speak of rendering wood odoriferous by impregnaations of this nature; it is an application too easily understood and too much confined to mere luxury to compare in importance with the more useful details already given. * # # # * # The remainder of the report is omitted as containing nothing of interest to the gen eral reader; the rival claims of M. Millet D’Aubenton to the honor of the discovery are mentioned, and very shortly exploded, and the report concludes by recomrneding that the Doctor’s memoire be published in the Rccueil des Savans ctrangers. Mik©©lll!smyo PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY MORNING AT TIIE VERY LOW PRICE OF TWO DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS PER ANNUM —ONE DOL LAR AND FIFTY CENTS FOR SIX MONTHS ALWAYS IN ADVANCE. MADISON, GEO i Saturday Morning, .Tunc 5, ISIS. General Traveling Agep.:. Mr- Jamvs De Martin has been appointed our Gen eral Traveling Agent for the Stale of Georgia, with full power to solicit subscriptions to the “ Southern -Misctl nny,” and receipt for the same. JUNE. The year is half gone, and Weyd-monat, as the ancient Saxoris called it, or June, as we derive it from Juno, in honor of whom a festival was celebrated in this month by the Romans, is here. In the words of the old English poet — “ Summer is yeomen in, Loud sing cuckoo Groweth seed, And bloweth mead Andspringeth the weed new.” But when we desire to speak of the months we must turn to “ divine Spencer,” who has a verse for every one of the twelve. — He tells us of the “ rosy-footed May,” who has just left us—how “ upon two brethren’s shoulders she did ride, the fayrest mayde on grounde,” and, then, he speaks of June— And after her came jolly June, array'd All in green leaves, as lie a player were; Yet in his time he wrought as well as play’d. That by his plough-irons mote right well appcare. Upon a crab he rode, that him did bare With crooked erawling steps an uncouth pnse, And backward-yode, as bargemen wont to faro Bending their force contrary to their face ; Like that ungracious crew which faines demurest grace. The poet must have experienced just such a season as the present when he wrote thus of June. A part of his lines would have applied to the spring months just past, most admirably, however they may be merited by the character of the month just begun. Surely the season has got on, “ With crooked crawling steps an uncouth pase, And backward-yode,” almost back to the chill blasts and nipping frosts of winter. March came in mild ancl plea sant, and after many “ crooked crawling steps,” went out in such a cold, unmarch like humor, that the children of earth whom she bad lured from their winter retreats, seemed to stand still in dull amazement, doubting whether to advance or not. We hope better things of “jolly June.” In our latitude, we certainly should be able to count on genial weather now if ever. The cotton should begin to hold up its head and put forth its vigorous branches, the corn should wave in the breeze above the plough beam, and the farmer should now be cheer ed with the promise of a rich return for the labors of the spring. But how different is the scene —it is May in the fields while it is June in the calendar. May it please Prov idence yet to bestow a bounteous harvest. QJ 5 ’ At theorganization of the new Boatd of Aldermen, of New York, Brown was elected President of the Board of Assistant Aldermen.

We invite the attention of the planters of Morgan to the communication in our paper to-day, signed “Planter.” The views of the writer are entitled to due consideration from all who feel an interest in the prospe rity and wealth of our county —from all who desire the prematiency, enlightenment and well-being of our population. The views advanced by the writer might be am plified and enlarged upon; indeed many other weighty reasons might he urgsd in fa vor of such an organization, but eiougli is said to lead to reflection on this inportant subject, and wo feel assured that in a mutter where so much good is sure to resuit,'and from which no possible evil can spi iiigj| the reflection ofi our enlightened farmers must lead to action in behalf of this grent inter est. The subject is one that addresses it self not only to the planter. Town and country are almost equally interested in tlie advancement of Agricultural science, and should go hand in hand in the adoption of the means to secure so desirable a result. In proportion as our planters prosper so must our merchants, our mechanics and pro fessional men ; and the anniversary of such a society—upon which, our streets would teem with all the various prize productions of our County, when the tiller of the soil would exhibit to the inspection of the pub lic his choice horses, hogs, and cattle, with the best products of the field, arid the fair daughters of Morgan would put in compe tition, thebest specimens of the loom.thedai ry, and the needle —would be a proud day, in which the country would have no greater cause to exult iri its prosperity than would the town that it was sustained by such a country. We approve the suggestion of our cor respondent, indicating our approaching Na tional Anniversary as a suitable day on which to make a move iti the matter. We sincere ly hope that it will be adopted, and that a society similar to that of Hancock and oth er counties in our own State will be organ ized on that day. When a crop of political excitement is to be raised there is always some devoted, public spirited individual to be found to take the lead in the organiza tion of meetings and caucuses—is there not among our citizens some who will do ns much fm oetter cause ? We trust there are. THE TIRATE. By an article which we publish in our pa per to-day, it will be seen that strong sus picions ate entertained, by those who have seen her, that the piratical vessel recently chased off the Isle of Pines, is no other than the missing Texan schooner “San An tonio.” Should this prove to he the fact, and should it yet appear —as at first suspi cioned—that the San Antonia was the con federate alluded to by Spencer as awaiting his arrival at the Isle of Pines, what then, will be done by those who have been so un sparing in their denunciations of Capt. Ma ckenzie. to atone for the wrong they have inflicted upon that gallant officer? Should such a confederacy he established between the young pirate and the schooner in ques tion, we doubt if even his alliance with the reputed head of the government will serve to screen the malicious traducers of Ma ckenzie from the public odium. ESCAPE. John Rambo, Enoch Nichols, Jacob Tip ton, Daniel Giaham, John Francis, George W. Crowder, Calvin Stewart, Philip Lee, James Ward, and Thomas Wilson, effected theii escape from the Penitentiary in Mil ledgeville, on the 29th ultimo. We have understood that Tipton and one or two oth ers have been retaken. The gate was ripen ed for the puiposeof conveying clay into the yard for making brick, when a large number of the convicts made a lush to the gate, and ten of them escaped before the guard could secure it. ANOTHER DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION. Almost the entire city of Tallahassee was destroyed by fire on the evening of the 25th ultimo. Not a store has been left stand ing, and the amount of goods destroyed is said to be immense. The fire broke out in the Washington Hull, which stands near lire Capitol, and extending itself northward, consumed every building on both sides of Monroe street, until it reached the Court House square, where it ceased for want of fuel. The post-office and two printing-offi ces were consumed, and the Court House was saved with great difficulty. Upwards of one hundred of the best buildings in the very heart of the city have been burned ! The loss is estimated at half a mill-on ! We believe it was John Quincy Adams who said that “history is philosophy teach ing by example.” So says one of our exchange papers. If it ‘no cotrect, old Johnny Q. must be a much older “ pin” than we took him for. We must have read the same paragraph about a century ago, or our memory fails us.—Pica yune. {£7** The editor would have us to think him not only an old “ pin” but one with a marvelous long memory. We wore under the impression that Mr. Adams was the oldest man of the two. But if the editor read the same paragraph “about a century ago,” the question is settled. THE CROP#—RAIL ROAD —OXFORD. We have just returned from a hurried vis it to Covington and Oxford, which afforded ns ah opportunity of observing the condi tiori of (lie crops. We saw some fine wheat in the fields adjoining the road and are un der the impression that much more of this grain has been sown this year than usual in our section. The stand is not so tall as we have seen it, but the ears are heavy, and as we learned generally free fiom smutor blast. The corn is very backward, and as well as the cotton, has suffered for rain. The oat crop, touse a planter's term is very “sorry;” we saw some fields that will hardly be worth the cutting. Wo were pleased to observe the small proportion of the cotton to the corn that has lieen planted this season. 1 ids is no doubt in a great measure owing to the fact that a large portion of the ne groes belonging to the planters along the line of rail-road between this place and Covington, are employed upon that work, a sufficient force only being reserved from tbc road ty make bread for their support. If a similar deduction of the labor-capital were to be withdrawn from the production of cotton throughout the cotton growing States but for'a single year, vve might safely look for an Improvement in prices; ami if the channels into which it was directed were as profitable as the construction of our road is expected to be, or as the working of our gold mines certainly is, improved prices would Aot be the only source of gain to the planter. However, taking into considera tion the causes that are combining to pro duce such a result—the opening of the Chi na trade, the diminution in the amount plan ted, throughout the South, and the falling off’ in the yield of the present ctops —we should not be surprised to see cotton quoted next January at 7 to 9 cents By-the-by, Oxford is a charming retreat. Never was a place better adapted to seclu sion and study than the scite which has been selected by the founders of Emory College. After leaving the pleasant village of Coving ton we bad almost passed Oxford before wc discovered it, embowered as it is among the primitive trees of the forest. Our eye was however attracted by several tasty and well iugs whose white walls shone through the deep foliage, and wc soon found ourself in the midst of a village in the woods, which vve continued to explore until we reached the object of our pursuit, the residence of our friend. The College buildings are sim ple and plain, designed, it would seem, for comfort and convenience rather than show, the pvivate'residetices are neat and tasteful— the streets in which the native oaks still flourish, are beautifully laid off’ and, over all presides a spirit of quiet repose, as if the stillness of those “Academicshades,” had ne ver been disturbed by unhallowed sounds of boisterous revelry. The water we drank in Oxford was the best we recollect to have drank for years, and we were informed that no town in the State enjoys a better reputa tion for health. We were so well delight ed with the place and the kind hospitality of our friends, that we could have tarried another day, had not the drudgery of our calling denied us the indulgence. We hope shortly to be furnished with an histor ical account of Oxford and its flourishing institution, which we doubt not will be read with interest by our readets. The Macon Volunteers, on a recent visit to Savannah, were presented with a beautiful banner by two young ladies, the daughters of Captain William P. Bowen, of the Savannah Volunteer Guards. The banner was wrought by the young ladies, ar.d is thus described by the editor of the “ Savannah Republican The original design is f.om the classical pencil of Gen. Charles Floyd. The con ception is as happy as it is elegant. On the one side, is delineated the arms of our coun try ; a shield, with twosvvords crossed above it, supported by an eagle, between whose extended wings, a scroll floats, bearing 13 star*. On the reverse, in the back-ground, and on an elevation in front of a forest, can be seen the arch of the constitution support ed by its columns, with a sentinel in the full uniform of the Macon Volunteers, guarding the entrance. In the foreground, on one side, stands the martial form of Mars, hold ing a shield in one hand, and a spear in the other. On the other side, stands Victory, with one hand extending a laurel wreath, to he reccdved on the point of the spear of Mars. Mars is 32 inches high—Victory 30 inches. Beneath them is a scroll, with the motto “ Veni vidi vici.” The whole of the design is worked with the needle Even the faces of Mars and Victory have had the appropriate expressions thrown into them by the judicious arrangement of lights and shades. They are consequently, far more durable than tbc painting which usually de lineates this portion of military designs.— The whole of this exquisite embroidery is on a field of rich ultramarine blue. In short, the Banner is as creditable to the skill and industry of the accomplished ladies who wrought it, as it is honorablo to the spiriied Corps, on whom their liberality has bestowed such an elegant specimen of handy work. Anew motive power has been inven ted and patented by Mr. Baggs, of Chelten ham, England. It consists in the substi tution of carbonic acid gas for steam. The Cheltenham Journal speaks of it as being of “ equal force and immensly cheaper than stenm.” LEWIS ACQUITTED. We learn by an endorsement on the Co lumbus way-bill which, reached this place last evening, that J. L. Lewis, one of the in dividuals concerned in the late robbery, was acquitted by the jury after thirty hours de liberation. This trial occupied the Court some eight’days, and it was with great diffi culty that a jury could be empanelled in the county to try it. The “Enquirer” of Wed nesday last, states that thcevidence was vo luminous, and adds, “there is but one opin ion as to its tendency on the part of the peo ple, but there ate at least two opiuins as to the resuit of the trial.” So far as wo have heard there is but one opinion of the verdict, •in this section. “O honesty, tliou nrt fed to brutish beasts, And men have Inst their virtue.” Our readers have no doubt seen in the papers the controversy between Mr. Bolts and Mr. Tyler. It has afforded “ nuts to crack” lor thu partisan pres#, mvl bins been published and commented upon by both parties, from Maine to Florida. For our own part, we can only say that we were shocked and mortified by the perusal of this correspondence, and if anything tnore than the current political history of the day was required to excite our fears for the safety and perpetuity of our institutions, such dev elopments of motal depravity, and political tergiversation, at the very fountain head of the government, would he sufficient. We have seen nothing iti print that bears any resemblance to Mr. Bott’s statement, in vul gar profanity of style, except it he the con fession of Jackson, the Columbus Bank rob ber, and in spite of our veneration for tbe distinguished positions of the gentlemen, we cannot but fear that tlie resemblance be tween the parties does not stop at the style of their publications. NEWS FROM CAM PEACHY. The New Orleans “ Tropic,” of the 27tli May, contains the following letterfrom Com. Moore, with the official report of an engage ment between the Texan vessels, under his command, and the Mexican squadron, on the lGtb ultimo. This action was a gallant affair, and reflects great credit upon the of ficers and men of the Texian Navy enga ged in it. But for the advantages of steam power, enjoyed by the enemy, which ena bled them to keep their vessels from a close cinmo-emenf. the Commodore woo’d have o er J annihilated the floating power of the bar barians. It would be well for the waning mar T **., if had a fcv; -more NUctl “pirates” as Corn. Moore, engaged in her cause. The following is the letter of the Com modore to the editor of the “ Tropic,” ac companying his official report of the action : Texas Sloop-nf- War Austin, I Off Campeachy.May 19, 1843. $ Messrs. Editors. —l wrote you on the sth inst., enclosing you a copy of the minutes of the action of the 30th April. I herewith enclose you a copy of the min utes of our action of the lGtli inst.—the wind was so light, that at no time were vve nearer than a mile and three quarters. The advantage of steam and heavy guns is tre mendous, particularly in the Gulf of Mexi co, in the Summer, where there is so much light weather. The whole fire of both Stea mers was directed at this Ship; not a shot struck the Brig. Wc fired over five hun dred catridges, and tbe long gun from the Wharten, (obtained since we drived here,) was fired sixty five times, and repeatedly with great effect. When the sea breeze came in, the Brig was caught aback, and before she got round on the same tack, we were some distance ahead, because vve could not heave to, as we would have run the risk of being raked ; she however made sail, and soon got within gun shot again. I forgot to mention that I have obtained, since my arrival, two long 18 pounders, which have been of great service. Our crew behaved nobly ! a finer set of men were never on board ship; and as to the officers under my command, it would be impossible for me to express to you my ad miration of their conduct and bearing. Tbe Guadnloupe was very much crippled and when vve wore, to stand in for our an chorage, she did not move her wheels for over forty minutes ; she was however to windward, and vve could not get up to her; one of the shell shot struck the Guadeloupe abaft the wheel, which must have done her much injury. 1 have fired but very few of them, owing to the distance that they have always kept from us; I am reserving them for closer quarters. 1 also enclose you a copy of the Surgeon’s report of killed and wounded. Fred’k. i Shepherd was one of the crew of the San Antonio; he was confined on board this ship from tbe 11th March, 1842, until his acquital and release : lie was captain of No. 5 gun, and most nobly had the poor fellow redeemed his character from the charge of participating in the mutiny on hoard that ill fated—schooner for a better l had not on Board the vessel. The wounded men ore doing well; sev eral of them are in the hospital at Campea chy, and the Governor is very urgent that , they should all be sent on shore ; (two inen have had their arms amputated, and one a leg —Thos. Baruet and John Norris an arm, and Owen Timothy aleg;)but tbe Surgeon prefers keeping them on board, at least for the present. Those 60 pound balls are tremendous missiles, and the way th'-y did whistle,rather hum over our heads was a caution, I tell you. They fired a great many over the poop where I was standing, and several of them weredisposed to be rather too inti mate. I will be ready to give them another chance in a few days, but I will wait for a strong breeze, and if Iran get near enough to use our shell shot. I (feel confident that they will tell a big tale in a few minutes. A fisherman came in this afternoon, and said that he had beeu alongside oftheGau daloupe to-day. and that she bad forty-seven men killed and thirty wounded; he also said that nearly all the men were on board the Guadaloupe for the purpose of Itoarding this ship ; which, by the way, they hod a fair chance of doing, for during the four hours fight, we chased them not less than twelve or fourteen miles. Yours truly, * E. W. MOORE. May 20, at 3 o'clock P. M. —Nothing done in the way of fighting oti either side since yesterday. I forgot to tnenlion that we have the Guadeloupe's flag stafTonl)oard this ship. E. W, M, The engagement lasted about four hour 9, and was principally sustained by the Slnop of-Wat Austin, against the entire Mexican force, prominent in which were the two heavy mettled steamers, Guadaloupe and Montezuma. During the action 17 shot struck the skn>. f liu cw <*£ wos killed and wounded —killed 3, danger ously wounded 6, severely 4, slightly 12. The Texan schooner Wharton, and tl;e Yucatan Squadron participated in the affair, but with the exception of a few shots from the Wharton — one of which cut away the flag staff'of the Guadeloupe —were unable to render any efficient aid. The Commd dore thus concludes bis despatch: At 3 P. M. the breeze freshening, and all the main-top-gallant-tigging being cot away, one gun ofstaiboard battery disabled, wore ship to engage the enemy With the larboard battery, Guadaloupe ceased firing and still standing on the starboard tack, be>- ing to leeward and not being able to bring the enemy to close quarters, made sign No. 81, and kept off for Campeachy, Whaitoii in ‘ company, Yucatan Squadron out of gun shot dead to leeward. £L?smieuUK MARRIED, lii this place, on Monday evening, 29th ultimo, by the Rev.
