hen,me woman does not truly appreciate her mission

wile she is different to what she was ns a mistress
She is ever employed in drudgery f ur children nnd
household. She neglects her dress; she forgets her
manners. Her husband sees the change, does nut per
haps find sufficient excuse for it front the conditions she
labors under. He Hies to the tavern and billiard table .
and she increases in sourness and asperity ns she increas
crj ;n years. That much of this isowing to the present
circumstances of social life is true ; but that much of it
is chargeable to a sad submission to those circumstan
ce*, is also but too true. It is more or less in the pow
er ot women to make their domestic life more attractive
to th<-ir husbands, nnd more holy in its discipline and
ends than they now do. A great regularity in time—-
a great simplicity in dress—a more determined adher
ence to that which is right in one’s own eyes, rather
than that which is well thought of in the eyes of others
—•an orderly apportioning of various periods for differ
ent occupations—would make evenings ot home pass
away very differently to what, in the great majority of
cases, they are now doing —ZV. Chalmers.
IHguity of Labour.
An observing and talented writer lias said :
“Mechanics are the palace builders ol the the world;
not a stick is hewn,not a stone shaped, in nil the lordly
dwellings of the rich, that does not ow • its beauty and j
fitness to the mechanics skill ; the towering spires that
raise their giddy heights among the clouds, depend up
on the mechanic’s art lor their strength and symmetry.
Not an edifice for devotion, lor business, or comfort, bat
bears the impress of their handiwork. How exhalted I
is their calling—how sublime is their vocation! Who
dares to sneer at such a fraternity of honorable men—
who dares to cast odium upon such a patriotic race ?
Their path is one ot true glory, and it is their own fault
it it does not lead them to the highest post of honor
and renown.”
Home Labor—Home Manufacturing.
Labor is the great wealth of the world, and this we
relinquish to the North or Europe.—We ship the pro
duce of a cotton plantation on board ofa vessel, for Bos
ton or Liverpool,and it conies back to us, with its value
increased ten fold; or in other words we send these Eu
ropean or Northern manufacturers one thousand bales of
Cotton, for which they return us one hundred in anian
ulactured state, and retain the other nine hundred
for their labor and profit! This is losing labor, and of
course losing wealth.
It is gratifying to see that the public mind at the South
is daily awaking to the necessity ofa diversity of labor,
and the establishment of mechanical and manufacturing
pursuits, or in other words, to supplying her own wants.
The universal success of these establishments at the
South, has falsified all the prognostications and object
ions of those who have advocated the blind policy of on
extensive agricultural production, and has given new
confidence to the friends of manufactures ot the South
The march of these establishments among us is destined
to be onward, until we shall be able to supply our own ,
wants and become independent for our supplies, nor
can the prosperity of the South be placed on a firm basis
until tins is accomplished.— N. O. Bulletin.
Fighting Parson•
We have seen it stated that one of the companies
from Mississippi, at the battle of Buena Vista, was
commanded by a Methodi.it Minister. Just before the
battle commenced, and whilst the troops were tonning,
it is said he delivered the following pithy prayer, at the
head of his company:
‘• Be with us this day of conflict, oh Lord ! We are
are lew, and the enemy are many. Be with us as thou
wast with Joshua when he went down from Gilgal to j
Bcth-ho-ron and Ajalon, to smite the Amorites. We j
do not ask thee tor the sun and moon to stand still, but ;
grant us plenty of powder, plenty of daylight, and no
(X> wards. Take old Rough-and-Ready uuder thy spec,
ial charge. Amen! M-a-r-c-h.”
His company performed prodigies on the field that
day.— Ex. Paper .
Gen. Taylor Toming Home.
The Galveston Civilian, oi 16lh, says:
Mr. Chisholm has arrived at Austin, in 12 days from
Monterey, and reports that Gen. Taylor has left the
latte/city, on a visit to his family. Mr. C. says that,
on the receipt of the intelligence of the victories of Con
treras and Churubusco, Gen. Taylor said, “the fighting
was at an end”—that “he would return to his family,
as he believed there would be no farther need of his ser
vices in Mexico.”
As Gen. Taylor has probably by this time found
out Ins mistake, he will doubtless fix his headquarters
at Maiamoros as he originally contemplated.
Northern Ifice.
Gen. Verplanck, the Commissioner to negotiate a
treaty with the Chippewas, in speaking of the wild
Rice w hich grows abundantly in Minnesota, says it is
better than the Southern Rice. The berries are larger
and its flavor is belter ; for when boiled and allowed to
cool it forms a consistent moss like good wheat bread,
a nd more nutritious. Any quantity grows on all the
Lak* in this Northern country. The outlets and bays
are filled w.th it. It ripens in the month of August, j
and is the main reliance ot the Indians during the win- j
ter months for their sustenance. —Charleston Mercuiy.
Steam Cotton Presses.
In two or three weeks from this time, or as soon as
some presses now under way are done, there will lie no
less than thirteen Cotton Presses moved by steam in
the city of Savannah, all of them immediately on the
w ater-side, perfectly convenient to vessels loading, and
steamboats descending the river from Augusta. There
are four Hydraulic presses at the yard of the Company
on the Eastern wharves, four in the yard of the Georgia
Steamboat Company, three Bulloch's presses owned by
Miutum and Cos., one of them tor pressing round cotton,
and two Tyler presses owned by Wight and Baldwin.

DOMESTIC DEPARTMENT.
Rich SnuMi-es.
Take 23 p muds of chopped meat, 8 ounces of fine
salt, 2i ounces of pepper, 2 tea-cups of sage, nnd 11
cups ot sweet marjoram, passed through a fine sieve.—
For the latter, thyme and summer savory may be sub
stituted, if preferred.
To remove Grease, Ac. from Cloth,
fullers’ earth, 90 parts; French chalk, 1 part; yellow
onp, 20 parts; pearl ash, 15 parts. Make into a paste
with spirits ot turpentine, and give it a slight color with
a little yellow ochre, then cut it into cakes. This form,
omitting the French chalk, is that which is sold about
the streets.
The Worm in Peach Trees*
A writer in one of our agricultural exchanges says:—
‘ Tnnzy is a certain antidote against the worm or grub.
Th* writer of this has seen several generations of peach
trees die off from the effects of the worms, while one
tree in the orchard had survived them all, and he was
led to inquire why this should live, while so many
around it died. The tree in question was found to be
surrounded by tanzy, which is known ns a great vermi
fuge. This led him to try the experiment with regard
to others in the neighborhood, many of which were ev
idently in a declining state, nnd to his surprise, in a
very few weeks they all evinced a healthy and lively
appearance, nnd since then, not a single tree in the
whole lot has been attacked in the slightest degree.”
Large Product of C’orn to the Acre.
The Athens Binner says; “Mr John F. Phinisy of
Clarke county gathered from u measured acre of ground
on his plantation upon Cedar creek, four miles from
Athens one hundred and three and a half (1034) bushels
of Indian Com!!! It was bottom land and a few un
productive wet spots in it—but for which it was thought
the crop would have reached 110 bushels. Beat this in
Georgia who can !”
We would be gratified to hear from some of our corn
growing readers upon this point esjiecially as the present
has been emphatically a great com season.
Premium Cheese.
For a cheese of twenty pounds, a piece of rennet
about two inches square is soaked about twelve hours
in one pint of water. As rennets differ much in quali
ty, enough should be used to coagulate the milk suffi
ciently in about forty minutes. No salt is put into the
cheese, nor any outside during the first six or eight
hours it is being prepared ; but a thin coat of fine Liver
pool salt is kept on the outside during the remainder of
the time it remains in press. The elieeses are pressed
forty-eight hours under a weight of seven or eight cwt.
Nothing more is required but to turn the cheeses once
a day on the shelves.
For Making Yeast.
This is an indispensible commodity,and families oft
en find no small d.iliculty in supplying themselves with
even a tolerable article. We therefore republish the
following recipe for its manufacture, hoping that by so
doing, we may ofilige our readers. “To two middling
sized potatoes, add a pint of boiling water, and two ta
ble spoonfuls of brown sugar. One pint of hot water
should he applied to every half pint of the compound.
Hot water better in warm weather. The yeast be
ing indue without flour, will keep longer in hot weather,
and is said to be much better than any in previous use.”
Try it. —Maine Farmer.
The faults of Childreu.
It may be well to drop a hint against the folly and
impropriety of making the faults of your children the
subject of conversation with other people. Nothing can
be more unkind and injudicious. If you wish your chil
dren to reform and improve, you most throw a shield
around their character. However foolishly they have
acted , let them see that you are anxious to keep open
the way for their return to propriety and respectability.
Many a youth has been hardened and driven to despair
by being tauntingly upbraided before strangers with
misconduct, which never needed, and therefore never
ought to have been known beyond his own family. On
the other hand, many a wanderer h::s been encouraged
to return, by observing in those most in,ured by his li
lies, a general readiness cordially to reinstate hun in
their esteem, and to sliield hnn from the reproaches of
others.

To the People of Houston County*
I feel myself called upon by a duty which l owe my
self and family, to vind’cate my character against false
nnd foul slanders that have been put in circulation a
gainst me.
It will be remembered that I carried to M:\con in the
month of August Inst, what was said, and, in the public
papers, announced to be, the first bag of new cotton car
ried to that market this season. Since tlien.it has, ns
I have been credibly informed, !r**n circulated through
out the country and elsewhere, that the bag of cotton
lias been returned to me, because of its having been as
certained to be old instead of new cotton ; and l under
stand that one of our citizens, who sets up high claims
to respectability—lias said that he saw the hag of cot
ton on its way back to me. The utter falsity and nia

Houston County j been daring the past year, in the em
ployment of Mr. Isaac C. West, of mid'county, as an
ovorseer—and that 1 know that every pound of cotton
constituting the first bale of cotton carried by him to
Macon this season, was new cotton, nnd that said hale
of cotton has never been returned to Mr. West, in con
sequence of its being old instead of new cotton, nor lor
nnjr other cause, for that it hus never been returned at
all. Oct 5,1847. W KILL!'BREW.
GEORGIA, )I do hereby certify that lam a near
Houston ( ounty \ neighbor of Mr. Isaac ('. West, of
said county, and am often ii his farm—that I was pres
ent when lie had picked out and ginned the first bag of
cotton carried by him to Macon this Beacon—and dial
there was no old cotton in the gin house at the time it
was ginned—nnd that no other than new cotton was put
into said bag. Oct 5, 1847. EDMUNDS BASS.
C'JV of Macon. Ido hereby certify that 1 purchased
ol Mr. Naim C. West, of Houston county, the first bale of
new cotton brought to this market this season—nnd
itiiat 1 have never sent it back to the said West,l>l-
I cause of its being old instead of new cotton—nor for
any other cause. The cotton was both new nnd good.
1 sent it to Savannah soon after I purchased it, ana sold
it It never has been sent back to him—so fiir from it,
; no lault has ever been found with the cotton by those to
j whom 1 sold it. on any account, that hns ever re tched
my ears—nnd the rej>ort that it has been returned to me
or Mr. West, is without the slightest foundation.
0ct5,1817. SAMUEL DAWSON.
Thus it is shown that the cotton—every pound ol it
| was new, and that it baa never been returned to Sir.
Dawson, to whom I sold it, much less to me. If I had
known there was n man living, who had malice enough
against me and so little regard for truth, ns to have cir
culated such a falsehood, I would have made no effort
to carry to market the first bale of new cotton. For,
however much I am attached, by inclination nnd cus
tom to habits of industry, I prize still higher, a good
j name among my fellow citizens for honesty, integrity
and honor.
1 have been induced to lay before the public the evi
dence of my entire innocence of the< urges made a
gainst me, which were intended to, anti I true —should
place me in a position in which my accusers are now
placed — cneath the notice or contempt of any honest
man. —Oct 6, 1847. ISAAC C. WEST

Macon County Present meats.
FP HE Grand Jurors sworn, chosen and selected lor
L the County of Macon, make the following present
ments nnd recommendations.
We have examined the fiooks of the Officers of the
Clerks of the Superior and Inferior Court, and find
them in good order and neatly kept.
W e have examined the jail at and find it very
hut from our knowledge of the County iu .Js we .• .ve
the subject of it.s repaii u> the discretion oi ihe Interior
Court. We recommend however that me inferior
Court,repair the windows in the Court house so as to
make it more comfortable.
We present the Bridge over white Water Creek on
the River road, as in a dangerous condit .ou, and recom
mend the Inferior Court, to have it repaired.
We recommend that the Ferry b • rente lor the next
y- ar to the .highest bidder for * .tnfy rders, provided
mat the citizens ol the County no pc * untied to cioss
without charge except in high water.
We recommend that the money oi hand after settle
ment with the tax collector, be sold by the Interior
l ourt at public auction to the highest bidder, for county
orders without reference to date.
As citizens of the South West we feel a deep interest
ill the success of the South Western Rail Road. Our
section ol the State has long suffered by its distance
from a market lor its staple productions. Wh :, v every
ot #r portion of the State, have ban their resources de
veloped, hy railroads, and have now every facility lor
carrying off the products of thtir labor, w-e have had no
means ot transportation but the slow and exjiensive
wagon ; while it is estimated by those acquainted with
the subject, that the driver of the cotton wagon, would
make more at home during the picking season that
would transjHjrt by rail road the whole c- p to market*
Under such disadvantages ,how can we compete in the
production of cotton with the great and suii growing
west, with her numerous, navigable rivers ?
Ihe truth is the true resources of South Western
Georgia have never been nropnly developed ; our
countey us still a great forest oi nch and highly produc
tive laud, and w-e need, greatiy need a rail road to de- i
velopc its energies—to make the white cotton field take j
ib place of the unbroken wood, and to people with a
u eming population, those va-t forests that are now si-1
lent ai.u unproductive. No one who has broke.i at the
history ot tire Southwest and remarked us rapid pro
gress lor the last 15 years in wealth&ad popular.on,can
•ail to see that it is destined one day to t** the greatest
cotton producing portion of the State. During the last
five yeu.n the me,ease of i. 1 population and production
has been nearly 50per cem, and this too under all the
disadvantages of a distance from market, a trad road
and great commercial embarrassments. What may
wy not hop. when we have a Rail road penetrating the
very heaa of of our country, connecting u* on the one
hand with the Atlantic and on the oilier with the Gulf
ot Mexico. Our lands must largely increase in value :
our cotton will bnngus on the average better prices, and
oui supplies will cost us less ; we and our whole section,
will become far more eligible, both as a pla . residence i
and as a field for the accumulation ot wealth
The stockholders of the company will almost of a !
certainty find it a profitable investment. In three years
at least luo.UJO bags of cotton will ituas over it to a
market anually, and as the country increase m its pro
ductions by the facilities the rail road alibids the amount
ol our great staple that will seek a market by its means
will neeessarally increase with die most rapid strides.
And when the road is completed and the Gulf’ and
the Atlantic joined together by its means, the passen
gers alone, who must then pass over it will of themselves
pay to the company, a handsome profit upon their in
vestment
In conclusion we would recomin nd, most heartily
this great enterprise to our fellow citizens, a* one of in
ti me importance to the prosperity or our section ol the j
state, and as one m every way likely to result in profit i
to those who engage in its prosecution.
In taking leave ofHis Honor Judge Warren, and the !
Solicitor General, Mr. Patterson, we WOtW exp ess, our
high admiration of the judicial career of tliefoimei, and
oui hearty thanks to the latter lor his kind am niton to !
this body, and for his vigilance in the execution ol Ins
duty.
We request our Senator and Representative in the
next Legislature; to have a law jiassed authorizing the
inferior Court, to lay an extra tax for county purposes,
not exceeding one hundred percent.
We request that these, our presentments be published
