Explanation of the Beautiful Natural
Results of Thorough Draining.
lie would now explain the beautiful
natural results which would take place
from thoroughly draining land. The
whole of it would appear to he filled
with air, and that being expelled by wa
ter, had a beneficial effect. And he
would mention a curious fact, viz: that
if they kept the water moving on the soil,
it would become beneficial, but the mo
ment the water was allowed to stand,
then it became injurious. . If they wish
ed to irrigate the land, they would pro
duce a much greater effect by having a
current than by allowing the water to
stand still. But water in falling
through the atmosphere collected mat
ters which were useful for plants, and
ammonia, as such, was of great efficien
cy. If the soil w<is in a condition that
required ammonia, the water would leave
the ammonia and pass through the land
without it. But independent of this, the
circulation of the atmosphere among the
roots of plants was very beneficial, and
when in any way the circulation of the
air was obstructed, the plants would not
be so much benefited as though there was
a free cieculation of the atmosphere n
mong their roots. Another process also
took place after the draining had been
effected, \yhich was by the action of the
atmosphere. The stiff clay, after being
throughly drained and subsoiled, became
converted into mould. The mould be
came converted by the application of
husbandry and manure to a great extent;
but it was changed in a great degree by
the action of the sun and air upon the
soil; the chemical action of the atmos
phere on the soil changed its nature,
which possessed oue great advantage,
and that was, that soil had a tendency to
concentrate itself into little masses of
what they called mould, which gave the
.soil a quality of greatly retaining the
moisture every particle took tip its
quantity of water, and and acted like a
sponge. These masses had a great de
gree of moisture to supply the plants in a
dry season. In the working of the soil,
and in the application of the subsoil
plough, it was of importance to have a
good soil on the surface. Almost all
subsoils required exposure to the air, be
fere they were iu a fit state to receive the
roots of plants beneficially into the earth.
It was a very good plan to turn up the
subsoil; he had done some three times
over with the subsoil plough, still retain
ing the surface soil, and the subsoil had
been turned into nearly as good land as
the surface soil. They might dig down
year after year after year, and bring up
fresh soil and by that mens the land
would be very much benefitted.
Operation of Manure on Wet and
Dry Noil.
As to the application of manure to the
laud, it was quite clear that the manure
put into a dry soil, would take effect
much sooner than if it had been applied
when the land was in a wet state. If
they put manure into water, it had no
tendency to decay. If a stake was driv
en into the ground, they would find that
that part which was between wet and
dry, would be decayed, whilst that part
which remained in the water would be
quite fresh. That was because a con
stant chemical change Was going on.—
Manures, straw, *tc, when put into the
soil, and the atmospherick air admitted
to them, would be more beneficial than
if they were covered up with water.—
Some people had suggested that there
might be danger in thorough draining,
because it allowed a great part of the
manure to get away. There might be
some truth in that, but experience had
taught them that manure on a dry soil
was much more quickly efficacious than
when it was in a wet state. There
were no benefits without some draw
backs; and when a proper drainage was
effected in the soil, some of the juice,
perhaps, might be carried off.
Importance of having the Drains a
proper Depth.
Mr. Smith then urged that it was a
most important point to have the drains
sufficiently deep. He still saw in the
country a tendency to form the drains too
shallow, and persons still attempted to
defend that fallacious mode of procedure
by argument. The Duke of Portland
had nearly 7000 miles of drainage in
Scotland, 18 or 20 inches below the sur
face of the ground, hut he was now per
fectly convinced that the was wrong in
putting in the drains so shallow. He
had, therefore, given directions for his
drains to be formed at a depth not under
two feet and a half; and those drains
which were 18 inches deep, and had not
been sufficiently successful, had been or
dered to be taken up and laid at a greater
depth.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
CONGRESSIONAL MADISONIAN.
THE approaching session of Congress will,
doublles, be the most important one, in many
respects, in the annals of American politics. The
occurrences will be interesting to every citizen,
and we shall make extensive arrangements to
spread before our readers the earliest, most elabo
rate, and must correct accounts of every
transpires at the capital. The proceedings of Con
gress will be minutely attended to, and speeches
delivered iu both Houses given at length.
The approaching Congress will ditler in many re
spects from any other ever convened. The Execu
tive will be firm and just, aud yet courteous and
conciliatory to all the parties that compose the Con
gress, so that in the political conflicts, which may be
anticipated, the PEOPLE'S interests may not be
altogether neglected. One party will have the as
cendancy in the Senate —the other in the House,
while the President will strive, in behalf of the
country, to harmonize their legislative action.
Congress will find that, under the present Execu
tive, the revenues being in responsible hands, no
defalcations have occurred, and that tbc agents, en
trusted with the public funds, have merited the con
fidence of both parties. It will find a tariff some
what imperft ct, and differing from the one recom
mended by Air. Tyler, passed in the House by the
casting votes of twenty-one Democrats — thirty-fitc
Clay whigs voting against it; while in the Senate
four or five Democrats voted for it, and twice that
number of Whigs against it. It will find that the
currency of the country is in a sounder condition
than it has been for twenty years, and that too with
out a Bank, or any thing of a kindred nature ; w hile
the five millions of Treasury notes authorized to be
issued bearing six per cent., are taken by the Gov
ernment creditors xcitlwut any interest at all. It will
find demagogues and political managers busy cheat
ing the People as usual, preaching distribution, as
sumption of state debts, bank, &c. Bui they can
never make much progress while Mr. Tyler is Pres
ident. All these exciting subjects will be agitated
for the benefit of Presidential aspirants.
At such a time, it is necessary that the citizens in
every section of the Union should know what is
done by their representatives, and be acquainted
with the import and design of the debates and move
ments in Congress. The session will no doubt be
long, as well as intensely exciting, and hence the in
ducement to subscribe for the Madisonian by the year.

PROSPECTUS
of the
CHEROKEE ADVOCATE.
THE undersigned, at the solicitation of many friends
proposes to publish, in the village of Marietta, Cobb
County Georgia, a weekly newspsper under the above
title. He is assured that a well conducted newsptpir
is much wanted in this region, and so tar as his humble
efforts will go, should be meet w ith encouragement,
the Advocate shall add to tin- reputation of the Chero
kee Country, affording as it does, the most salubrious
dime, w ith a fertile aud productive soil, not surpassed
in the Union.
The Advocate will be decided in its poli ics, while at
the same time due res reel wilt be paid to the opinions
of those who may ditf r with us. Believing in a strict
construction of the Constitution, as the only sure guar
antee lu the Institmiuus of the (South, and of the two
great parties now before the country, that the Demo
cratic Party, with John , . Calhoun at its head, is the
one on which to look for the carrying out those princi
pies, the Advocate will support the principles of that
Party, and the man, whoever he ntay be, selected by
the National Convention to carry out its principles.
Agriculture —that most imgsrtanl branch of industry,
will not be neglected in the pages of the Advocate.
To this branch we shall devote much attention, and in
addition, to such selected articles, as may be of interest
to this section, we will endeaver to procure the assis
tance of the farmers in Western Georgia, who, by giv
ing their own experience and mode of cultuie, will
bring forward others, and thus all reap a benefit.
The Advocate may also be looked to for such items
of news as we may receive from different sections of
the country, ami a portion of its pages will be devoted
to light reading. It will be an object of the undersigned
to make the Advocate such a paper as every subscriber
will feel a pleasure in perusing himself, ana in placing
before his family, and w hen Ins year expires, renew his
subscription with a smile on his countenance.
The Advocate will be printed on an Imperial sheet
with new type, press, &c. at Three Dollars per an
num, in advance—no subscription will be taken for
less than a year. Advertisements will be inserted at
One Dollar per square of twelve lines for the first inser
tion, and Seventy-five Cents for each subsequent one
legal Advertisements will be inserted at the usual rates.
Job Printing of every description will be executed with
neatness and despatch.

TIIE PETERSBURG REPUBLICAN.
Believing the present to be n crisis too important to
(he interests of the Democratic party to allow any press
devoted to its cause to sink for want ts support, the
subscriber has, at the instance of many friends, con
sented to assume the editorial guidance of the t eters
burn Republican.
Recognizing in the late temporary defeat of D. tnoc
raey the necessity of recurrence tor future success to
the fundamental principles of .States’ Rights, and their
strict application to all Federal issues. The Republi
can will neither in itself exhibit laxity of political faith,
nor tolerate its indulgence in others, but wtil undevia
tincly adhere to the noble principles, as admirably em
bodied by one of our distinguished Statesmen— ’Free
trade ; low duties; no debt; seperation front Banks ;
economy; retrenchment; and strict adherance to the
Constitution.” ,
The successful maintenance] and permanent estab
lishment of this w ise and just system of measures must
greatly depend on the judicious selection of the Demo
cratic candidate for the next Presidency, and believing
the amplest guarantee of these important ends to be
afforded by the eminent abilities and unsullied faith of
JOHN C. CALHOUN, the Republican will advocate
his claims to the nomination of the National Conven
tion. These claims will be enforced with due respect
to the preferences of others, and the cordial support of
this press will be given to the Nominee of a Conven
tion so assembled as to be general, and so constituted
as to give a clear expression to the will of the majority.
The Petersburg Republican will, us heretofore, be
published three times a week, at Five Dollars per an
num, aiwavs payable in advance.
The subset.her will assume its control on the third
.Monday in June, until which time all communications
will be addressed to him (post paid) Richinoi and.

THE SPECTATOR.
riIHE Subscriber will continue to publish, at Wash-
J- ington, D. C., the SPECTATOR weekly. It
will he devoted to the spread ot true Democratic princi-
Sles and will adopt for its motto the words of the Hon.
ohn C. Calhoun “Free Trade ; Low Duties; No
Debt; Separation from Banks ; Economy, Retrench
ment; and strict adherence to the Constitution;” and
will bear aloft his truly Democratic banner. It will al
so strongly advocate the limitation of the tenure of the
Presidential office to one term —not only in justice to
te distinguished public men of the nation, but as more
consonant to the genius of our Republican institutions
and more conducive to a faithful and independent ad
ministration of the Government.
As the most direct and effective mode of securing
the permanent ascendancy of these cardinal princi
ples. the SptcTATOR will zealously urge upon the coun
try the claims ol the distinguished Southern States
man for the Presidency. In doing this, it will not be
unmindful of the integrity and safety of the Republi
can Party, and will manifest a proper regard ior the
pretensions of the prominent individuals who have
been named tor this high trust, and are i den tided with
the advancement ot these principles. The Spectator
will lie edited by one of the ablest and most experien
ced political writers of the day.
The terms are three dollars per year, in advance, for
a single copy.
Clulie and individuals, ordering more than one copy,

THE GAZETTE.
The time has arrived, when, it has become neces
sary for the Friends of Free Trade to unite in sus
taining their cause.
The commercial community aud agricultural pop
ulation of the country, have been subjected to the
operation of an unequal dud unjust Tariff Law. A
law, admitted by its framers and advocates, to have
been hastily devised and hurriedly acted on, forced
through Congress at the close of an extra session,
aud adopted by a single casting vote. A law, which
makes forced loans front importers, in the way of
cash duties, amounting on an average to 30 per cent,
of their capital. A law, which by heavily taxing ma
terials used in ship building, being equal to 85 per
ton, which, on a vessel of 600 tons, amounts to the
enormous sum of $3,500 is driving our ships from the
foreign carrying trade. Foreign and cheaper built
vessels monopolize to a great extent, the business
which was formerly done by our ships.
The friends of Free Trade, contend that justice to
the Merchants, Ship Builders, and Ship Owners, and
to the Farmers of the country, demands an immedi
ate modification of this oppressive Tariff Law. They
contend, that, the Agricultural and Commercial in
terests of the United States arc indissolubly united.
That, the prosperity and extension of trade and com
merce, necessarily promotes the extension and pros
perity of agriculture.
They believe the power granted to Congress by
the Constitution, to regulate commerce, was not in
tended to be used for its destruction.
They believe it bad policy for the government, in
lime of profound peace, under pretence of passing a
revenue bill, to pass a bill destroying revenue, and
then borrow money with which to carry on the gov
ernment, and at the same time laying the foundation
of a large public debt.
They believe a crisis has been reached in the af
fairs of the country, when these measures must be
met, resisted and overcome, by the united aud effi
cient action of the friends of free trade.
From the signs of the times, should the. advocates
of cssmnercial restriction and unequal taxation, suc
ceed in electing their candidate for the Presidency,
the disastrous result will be, that we shall have the
severe grievances of which we justly complain, fas
tened upon us as the permanent policy of the coun
try.
To avoid an event fraught with such evil conse
quences, it behooves us to unite with others in the
support of a Free Trade Candidate for the Presiden
cy. The time for action is short. In a few more
months, an individual may be selected, as President,
whose opinions, power and influence, might be fear
fully exerted against us. Or one, whose views, feel
ings and opinions coincide with our own.
Something should be done. At the present time,
the Press ul this city occupies a position unfavorable
to the success of our cause. The necessity for a
new paper is evident, from die fact that at present,
none of the papers of this city advocate to the full
extent, and with sufficient energy and zeal, the prin
ciples for which w e contend.
A paper of this character seems at the present
juncture indispensable. It should be in its ends and
aims, essentially a Free Trade paper; and at the same
time, advocate the claims to office, us men in whose
undisguised principles, we might place tlic most in
plicit confidence.
A Committee of Free Trade Gentlemen, have
been organized to solicit subscriptions from persons
disposed to contribute means, towards starting in this
city, as soon as practicable, anew Comerciul aud
Free Trade paper, with the intention, at the same
time of lending its honest and fair support for the
Presidency, to the candidate v hose opinions are well
known to be favorable to a liberal Commercial policy.
Writers of acknowledged a ility, zeal and indus
try, will have charge of the Editorial columns.
Talents of the highest order will be engaged to
take charge of the respective Departments of the
paper.
The state of the Money Market, with Reports of
Banks, Incorporated Joint Stock Companies, Procee
dings of Congress, and of State Legislatures, in re
lation to all financial affairs, w ith regular tallies of
Exchange Domestic and Foreign, combined with
general groupings of all monetary movements taking
place iu all parts of the civilized world, will form a
permanent feature of the paper.
Another department of the paper will be dcvjted
to information concerning the state of the principal
Markets of die world for Agricultural products. Cor

This is to certify, that I have been afflicted with
Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, and Liver Complaint
and Costivcness for the last eight or nine years, du
ring which lime I bad taken, as well as 1 recollect
about sixty boxes of Beckwith’s Pills, twelve box, s
of Peters’ Pills, and a number of boxes of Champion’s
and Brandreth’a Pills, all of which afforded me but
little or no relief. At last, I was recommended t„
try Dr. Spencer’s Vegetable Pills, and well / did; lot
luever had but oue attack of the Sick Headache af
ter I commenced taking the Pills, (now about »jy
months) and I candidly confess, that I have derived
more real benefit from the use of Spencer’s Pill?
than from all the other Medicines and Pills that f
have ever taken, and I would earnestly recommend
them to all, as being in my opinion, the best medi
cine in use fur all lingering complaints. The Pill*
have done me so much good, that I would not fed
willing to be without them for five dollars a box; and
I cannot but feel very grateful to Dr. Spencer lor
having prepared such a valuable medicine, and the
distribution of it is conferrittL’' a very trreat favor on
the public, as it is a thing of the utmost impoitance
that every family should have a supply of Dr. Spen

Tins is to certify, that I have used Dr. Spencers'
Vegetable Pills iu my family for the last six months,
and I consider them the best Pills 1 ever used. 1
was appointed an agent for the sale of them ahout
six months ago, at which time the travelling agent
left me about one hundred boxes, and 1 ha< c sold
out every box long since, aud could have sold as
many more if they had been left. I think everv
family should keep a supply always on hand. 1 have
never sold any Pills in my store that have been liked
so well as Spencer’s Vegetable Pills.

Washington Cos., Ala., March 8, 1843.
To Dr. Spencer;
Dear Sir—l have used your Vegetable Pills in my
family the 1 tst year with great success, and Ifconsid*
erthern the beat Pill I ever used. I have made con
siderable use of many other popular Pills, but I am
convinced that yours are superior to any of them.
For Sick Headache, they arc an excellent medicine.
For Bowel Complaint, 1 think them the best medi
cine in the world, and also for the Bloody a-lnx. I
can say to you that 1 made great use ul them last
season. I had twenty of my blacks sick with the
Flux, and 1 administered your Bills freely, and I did
not loose a single case. My neighbors speak in the
highest terms of them. Respectfully yours,
JESSE JORDAN.
IMPORTANT CAUTIONj
A PROCLAMATION.
'Vo the Citizens of Georgia:
WHIvKEAS, l»>r several years past, the good Peo
ple of this State have been greatly, and very seri
ously imposed upon in times of suffering and sick
ness, by being obliged to pay the enormous price of
One Dollar aiid Fifty Cents for a Box of PILLS % or
a Bottle of MIXTURE, to cure CHILLS AMI
FE VERS, and other distressing complaints: Now,
therefore, know ye, that an effectual means «.f relief
have been discovered in DJI. HULL'S VEGET•
ABLE FEVER and AGUE , and ASTI FEVER
PILLS; which are offered by the Proprietors and
their Agents at the low price of only One Dollar jur
Box —from 25 to 50 per cent, cheaper than the majori
ty of all other medicines for the cure of such com
plaints; and as to the comparative safety with which
they can be taken, together with the simplicity ol
their component parts (which are entirely vegetabh)
and the real value of Hull's Pills, as adapted to the
wants of the community, there can be no longer the
least doubt of their great superiority over all otliri
medicines, not only in their superior properties in
the safe and speedy cure of Chilis and Fevers, but
also as a remedy in Fevers of every description.
It is particularly worthy of remark, that out of up
wards of Twenty Thousand Boxes of these Pills sold
in Alabama alone, within the last twelve months, not
a single case has come to the knowledge of the pro
prietors, where they have failed to cure the Chills
end Fevers, when they have been used according t‘»
the directions accompanying them. And besides,
these pills arc no "qnack medicine they arc tht
scientific preparation of experienced medical men,
who, after having prepared this important recipe,
most positively declared that from all the discoveries
lip to the present time, in medical science, they
noway by which they could possibly be improved, or
made in any way more effectual in the cure of those
complaints for which diey are recommended : so that
the happy combination of the ingredients and their
proportions are such as to produce a medicine which
never fails to relieve when relief is at all attainable.
Upwards of one thousand certificates might here be
added, of important cures effected by this medicine;
but it is not necessary to publish them, as a single
trial of the Pills is more satisfactory evidence than a
volume of printed testimonials. Wc would, howev
er, refer the reader to some eight or ten thousand
families in this State, who it is thought have experi
enced their efficacy, and who would bear ample tes
timony of their unrivalled virtues.
