POMEGRANATE COTTON.
TWO years’experience with this vaiicty o!
Colton has proved it to be the most produc
tive Cotton grown in this section of country, as is
shown bv the report of Gen. Hendrick, Col. Jones',
Col. Wallers and others, who have planted this
‘ottonlhe present year. lrshould be planted one
.ourth thicker than other Cotton, both in the Rows
and Drills, the R ovs t wo-ind-a-half, and not over
•hree feet on the host land. It should be topped

We planted, this year, Mr. Dickson’s

we eer cultivated, yielding more thau any other
variety on the same quality ol land.

We planted Mr Dickson’s Pomegranate Cotton
this year, side by side with the common Colton on
/lie same dav—no difference in the iand or culti
vation. The Pomegranate produced, fully, onc
tinrJ the most, and bolls larger, and staple liner

This will certify that I planted about twelve
acres of Mr. Dickson’s Pomegranate Colton this
year, from which I sliall gather nearly two thou
sand pounds seed Cotton peracre, and would have
gathered over that amount but for the injury re
ceived by rains and the worm. The cotton was
planted one month later Ilian my other cotton. 1
pronounce it a superior cotton, producing about
one-third more than our common cotton.

Newton County, Ga. Nov. 1, 1852.
1 have planted Mr. Dickson’s Pomegranate cot
ton tiie last two years. It matures earlier than
anv cotton 1 ever planted. I am satisfied it
will produce about one-third more than the com
mon cotton on tiie same soil. D. E. Strong.
Covington, Ga. Nov. 19, 1852.
1 plant cotton i V\ ayne county, Kentucky, for
spinning use only. I was at this place last winter,
and was induced to Jake home a few of Mr. Dick
son’s Pomegranate Colton seed. 1 planted them
side by side with my other cotton, the land the
same, and tended alike; the Pomegranate pro
duced fully onc-third the most, and made over one
thousand pounds seed cotton per acre. My spin
ners say the lint is superior to nny cotton they ever
spun. Canon YVcrsham.

PROSPECTUS OP
THB OOEMIiE STONE.!
WE intend to publish in the city of Columbus,
Ga.a paper under the title of “The Cor
ner Stone.” We shall not attempt to forcsbad- j
ow our future course, by saying that we shall ad- j
here to and advocate the “great principles” ol this I
or that “great party,” for the reason that we I
know no party, to whose principles, as exetnplili- I
ed in practice, we can thus commit ourselves. !
Witii some difference in creeds and professions, j
the two great National parties agree in one lead- )
ing object, which is to do whatever may be ne
cessary to increase tiie amount of party spoils,
wiiich are gathered mainly from ihe South and
•distributed almost entirely at the North. We do
•not belong to either of them.
Believing the General Government to be corrupt
in all its parts, —holding that il belongs to, and is
and will be administered for tiie benefit of the
North alone—that it is an engine, by which the
power and resources of the South arc wielded to
■her injury—thatinall respects and under all cir-j
cumstanccs, the political connection between the
two sections is productive of evil to the South, wc
.■shall advocate ns dissolution.
As to State politics, il there be any party which
lias any, we aro ignorant of it. So entirely i
•everything absorbed, in the effort to sustain a na
tional organization, that the discussion of princi
ple and measures, involving the rights and inter
ests of the people, is often deprecated and avoided,
test the party may be thereby injured; as if the
invasion, of the rights ol a citizen, by State legis
lation were not as fatal and as much to be guarded
against, as the exercise of an undelegatcd power
by Congress.
InJ.vhat we shall choose to consider ami to trea
.as estate politics, wc shall find much to discuss—
-doryhere is much that is wrong somewhere.
We boast that wc have the best Government on
earth, and that we live in the full blaze oftlie light
of Christianity, yet we have daily, tiie complaint,
that over all the land, crime and degradation,
and misery arc increasing, with appalling rapid
ity. Such arc not the legitimate fruits ol a pure
Christianity or of a good and wise government.
Wc shall consider all tilings connected with the
rights and interest of the people, proper subjects
for discussion; our object will be to aim at the truth;
and w’licn in our opinion, wc sliall have found it,
we shaft present it to our readers as it presents
itself to us.
Tbrms. —"The Corner Stone” will be publish
ed weekly on a large sheet, at $2 per annum, in
variably in advance. No man will be entered up
on our list until the money is paid. Any person
who will send us five subscribers will receive a
eopy for Ins trouble. The first number will be

This preparation is made as pure as possible.
Its bitter taste, and beneficial effects in diseases oj
the Liver, and diseases arising from .111 impure;
slated ihe Blood, proves to be the purest and |
and most useful preparation of Sarsaparilla that ii
made.
Those who have used the various Pj.cparations |
ol Sarsaparilla, xvill find, by Ihe taste and effect,
that there is more Sarsaparilla in one botth; ol Dr.

j is generally made.
That it might be more particularly adapted to
i professional use, nothing hot the pure Sarsaoarilla

A NEW NOVEL,

will adorn the columns of the forthcoming new

The Town, as heretofore, will be a leading to

; from the news and literature of the world, those
lacts and ideas winch arc of peculiar importance
;to Ihe Women of America. A liurer held for their
industry, and wider scope for the exercise of their
genius, are among the necessities of the time to

| The Foreign Papers will continue to be caie

extracted, and arranged under the head of ’‘Read
; i'lgs in Foreign Journals,” American papers,
: for a similar purpose, will he diligently ransacked.
A large number of able and distinguished
persons are accustomed to avail themselves ol the
columns ol the Home Journal whenever they desire
to coinrmmicate with the public. Tin sc contri
butions are a valuable feature of the paper.
As the Home Journal is designed to be par ex
cellence a Family Paper, the editors keep m view
the tastes ol the younger members of families, and
endeavor to ptovtdc in each number, something
specially adapted to the liking of intelligent youth.
Upon pariy polities and see la nan dogmas the
Home Journal is silent} but upon subjects which are
not in dispute between parties or seels, it endea

and to keep its readers in mind, tliat it is not all of

THE GREAT
COVCH REKSEDin
READER! have you a Cough, w hich you art
neglecting, under the idea that It is only a
curnmon cold, and that it uil I soon “wear itself
out?” Let a triend tell you, hi all kindness, what
will soon be the probable result.
In a short time, if you continue to neglect yottr
soll, you will begin to feci a sense of tightness and
oppression across the chest, accompanied with
frequent sharp darting pains. ‘J hen a dry, hack
ing Cough, will set in, and when you raise any
thing il will be a thick and yellowish, or w hile
trothy matter, streaked, perhaps, with blood. Jf
* u still take no medicine, these unpleasant syiup
wdlloins increase, mid you will soon have Hec
tic Fever, Cold Chili s, Night Sweats, Ci pi
ous Expectoration, and then Great Pkostra- |
tion. It you still neg'ect )ourself, a few weeks I
or months will see vou consigned to the grave, |
leaving your friends to mourn how rapidly CUN- !
SUMF I'ION did its work, and hurried you away.
Frieno! have you no cause to be alarmed? In the
above sketch you may see as in a glass, how every
ease of the Consumption progresses, with more or
less rapidity, to a fatal termination. Os all the
Thousands and Millions wbomjlhis great Destroy
er has gathered to the tomb, every single case be
gan with a Cold! If this had been attended to
all might have been well; but, being neglected,
under the latul delusion that it would “wear ttsell
ofl,” it transferred its deadly action to the sub
stance of the Lungs, exciting there the formation
qt tubercles. Another, and another cold, added
luellothc flame, until these tubercles begun to
so.ten and suppurate, leaving by their ulceralion,
great cavities in the Lungs. At this cis is, the
diseuse is very difliculrof cure, and olientimes sets
at defiance all human means.
In the lattei or worst stage, this medicine will
oftentimes arrest the disease, or cheek its progress,
and will always make the patient mote comforta
ble, and prolong his life, and is therefore worthy of
;a trial; —but i.i its incipient or forming periods,
Consumption is as curable as any other diseases
and “Dr Rogers’ Syrup of Liverwort, Tar ado
Canchaluguu,” it taken at tins tune, will cure it
ICjP AS SURELY AS IT IS TAKEN!
This is strong language, l ul we can nU r you to
numberless living witnesses to prove that it is
TRUE! And llierelore, we earnestly cxhoit every
iwan, woman and child, who lias a Cough, oris
subject, to Colds, to keep this medicine by you in
the house; and w henever you lake Cold, do not
■‘let it alone” to wink misehiet in your system, but
eradicate it thoroughly, and at once, by this povv
eilul healiiiucompound, and leave your Lungs un
injured, to curry you in full vigor to a good old age,
MOTHERS’
Have you delivafe, weakly children, who are al
ways taking cold, and subject to Croup? Kcm
etnbei! There never was a case of Croup, which
did not originate in a Colo! And when your chilli
goes to bed wheezing and coughing, you know
not ihat, before morning, Croup may set in, and
ere you can get a Physician, your dear child may
‘>e beyond the reach of help. We beseech you
therefore, as you value the lives of your children,
keep Ibis medicine by you in the bowse, and when
your little ones lake cold and commence coughing,
give and to them at once, and rest not until the cough
is subdued. W'c coiisctentiolsly aver, alter the
mos) extended experience, that if this advice were
iollowcd, no child need ever
DIE OF CROUP.
lor the cold would be cured before il could arrive
at this aggravated and Pital stage. Let every
Mother, especially, heed well these remarks, that
she may not hereafter, when mourning over the
early blight olsoine cherished blossom, have occa
sion bitterly to reproach herseif for her criminal
neglect. It is an old adage, that “lo be forwarru and,
is to be forearmed.” Parents! so tef it be in your
case.

Circular to American Producers, from the
Association for the Exhibition of the In
dustry of all Nations , Office No. 53,
Broadway , New York , 6lli Dec. 1852.
I Address you, on behalf of the Asso
ciation for the Exhibition of the in
dustry of all Nations, to invite your co
operation in the general objects of the
enterprise. The building intended for
the purposes of the exhibition, construct
ed entiiely of iron and glass, will be, it
is believed, the largest and most beautiful
edifice in the country. It covers, on the
ground floor, two and a-half acres, and,
with the galleries, the whole space is four
acres. The mason-tvork is entirely com
pleted. The main part of the iron wotk
is contracted for, a large pait of the east
ings are delivered on Ihe ground, and the
construction is steadily going on. We in
tend, as we have already slated to the
public, that the exhibition shall be opeti
ed on the second of May, 1853. You
are thus offered’ an unequaled opportuni
ty ol exhibiting, to the vast population of
this country, such of your productions as
you send us, free of all charge of every
kind w hatever, from the time that they
| are delivered into our custody until with
drawn. The Association has already an
nounced that their objects are limited ex
clusively to exhibition. They have no
r.terest whatever, direct or indirect, in
ihtfinal disposition lo be made of any ar
ticle that may be displayed. You are,
no doubt, aware that we have received
all the assistance from the public author-*
ilies that we have desired. The city has
given us the lease of Reservoir-square >
that Slate has granted us a chailer, and
the Federal authorities have engageu
the the building shall be made a Bunded
Warehouse for the purpose of receiving
foreign articles without paying duly
so long as they remain in it. Me
have the strongest assurances of support
from the Representatives here of the
cipal Foreign Countries. The late la
mented Mr. Webster, on the 12th Octo
ber, issued a private circular from the
Department of State, to the Representa
lives of this Government at the Courts of
the Principal European Powers, request
ing their assistance in the objects of the
undertaking, and we are receiving daily
confirmation of the general interest that
the subject is exciting among the manu
facturers of Europe. A large number of
articles of high value is already secured,
and we have no doubt, whatever, that
we shall have a very extensive represen
tation of ail the branches of foreign indus
try. ‘lhe measuies we have adopted
will thus secure two great objects we
have desired to attain, namely: the erec
tion of a building which will be a great
architectural ornament to our city, and
the exhibition, in that building, of the
products of tlie Industry of the Did
World ; still we shall fall far short of
our mark if we do not equally succeed in
obtaining the fullest and most extensive
co-operation of American Industry Our
Exhibition would be extremely defective
—it would be very inferior, both in in
terest and in utility, to what we mean to
make il—if the great resources of the
people of our own country were not fully
displayed i it. Be believe il unneces
sary lo urge upon you the arguments on
this subject, which we are sure will pre
sent themselves to tiie mind of every in
telligent American producer. Your own
position in the world ot American indus
try, yoor own interest, and what is due
to an enterprise devised and meant to
be cauied out with no narrow views, but
on a large scale of public usefulness—all
entitle us to entertain the fullest convic
tion that you will aend us some of the
choicest specimens of your skill, and that
you will urge yaar friends to do the
same. 1 making thus application, we
desire to have it uudsrstood, that we in
tend to call forth a complete representa
tion of all the resources of the country,
as well of Raw Materials as of Manu
factured Articles. We hope to see abun
dant specimens of the Ceteal products of
the Northern and Western States, of the
j Colton and Sugar of the South, as well
i as of all the other great agricultural sta
j files of the country. Os similar import
janco are the Mineral treasures of ous
I continent. VVs are particularly desirous
! that our building should contain a com
plete collection of the various Ores which
the active industry of our people is daily
bringing to light, of the Metals produced
from them in their various stages of de
velopment, and also of all other Minerals.
1 his would include as well Coal, (jmu
te, and other similar subsiauces, as those
chemical products moie especially used
in the Acts. The Ores should he accom
panied by the blocks in which they are
found, and, if possible, by plans and sec
tions of the measures in which they lie’
It would also be of great interest to ex
hibit, either by models or Descriptive
Drawings, the different processes employ
ed in the reduction of the Ores and the
manufacture of the Metals. You will
readily see the importance anil value of
„ collection of this kind j and if the spec i
mens are forwarded to us, we shall laku
such measures for their classification and
arrangement, as will best subserve the
objects of the Exhibition, and, at tiiQ
same time add to the information and ex-?
perience of our people. VVe have, hcre
lolore, announced that Paintings in
Jbrames will be exhibited j and we are
very desirous that the Sculpture of the
country may be fully represented. If out:
wishes in these respects are answered,
our building will furnish a complete il
lustration of the National ile sources, the
Art and thy fqduslry of our People, and
the manifestation thus made, will, we are
convinced, surprise even hose most con
versant with the progress of the Kcpub
