GLOBE HOTJUL,
AUmiSVJl, GEORGIA.
A all. bftBoCKillLK, (itile proprietor of the taiobe
a Hotel, and more recently of the Mansion House,)
begs leave to announce to liis friends and the public gen
erally, that lie has taken that elegant and commodious
five proof Brick Building on the corner of Broad and Jack-
son streets, and immediately adjoining the new Masonic
Hall. It is situated in the most central part of the City,
uid is in r lie very heart of business—being in the vicini
ty of the Augusta Bank, and the Branch Bunk of the State
of Georgia.
This establishment, is known as the Globe Hotel,
and in the interior arrangement and general construction,
unites in an eminent degree, spaciousness, neatness, and
comfort. To the man of family, the individual traveller,
Lite daily hoarder, or the fashionable visitor, the Globe
presents accommodations, inferior to none in the South
ern Stales.
Having conducted for a number ®f years, -two among
the most popular Hotels in this city, he flatters himself
that his experience in business, added to the superior ad
vantages of situation and the resources under liiscontroul,
will enable him to give the most decide d satisfaction to all
who may honor him with their patronage.
Ilis Stables uic spacious and well ventilated, and
amply supplied with the best of provender, and attend
ed by experienced and steady Ostlers—in addition to
which, tlift subscriber will bestow ins own personal unre
mitting attention, and in his charges, will not forget tlie
pressure of the times.
Scheme below. Look at the condition of your Town-,
and if that will not excite yon—Just think of getting
one thousand dollars for ten dollars—-Jive thousand for ten
dollars—ten thousand for ten dollars—Twenty Thous
and for ten dollars! What a speculation ! Go in for it!
Go in for it!!

T HE first year of this publication having been con
cluded, tlie “Reporter” will hereafter be published
weekly as well as semi-monthly. ' W e feel grateful to the
public lor the liberal patronage awarded us, (having now
a more extensive circulation than any other newspaper
in die United Stales,) and shall leave no measure unre-
sorted to, in order to render this Journal valuable in all
respects, not only to merchants, banking institutions,
brokers, and keepers of hotels, but to the community in
general. We have engaged tlie liteiary assistance of se
veral gentlemen well known as writers, and have con es
pondenri in a#l the principal cities and towns in the Uni-
ed States. We also receive weekly more than five hun
dred news]tapers from different parts of the Union, so
that whatever information may be circulated through the
medium of tlie “Reporter,” and the rcscurcesfrom whence
it is derived, we can confidentlyjstate, may, in all cases,
be relied upon as correct. Ba»k*notes are being counter
feited in eyery direction; and on the arrival of every ves
sel from Europe, or the creation of every national excite
ment, the state of the niauket varies. Ever£ person
should, therefore, be possessed of some certain guide by
which all such information might be received by tlie ear
liest mails, and at such a rate as not to render its posses
sion an exorbitant lax. Such a Journal is exactly what
we.endeavor to render the “Reporter,” in an effort to ac
complish which, neither pains nor expense will at any
time be spared on tlie,part of tiie publisher. Every num
ber will contain a carefully corrected Bank Note List,
List of Broken Banks, Prices Current, Prices of Gold,
Prices of Bank and Insurance Stock, and a description of
all Counterfeit and Altered Notes in circulation through
out the United States, and all such information as is
likely to throw light upon the subjects embraced in the
design of this Journal. The latest foreign news, togeth
er with much original and well selected matter, will al
so be found in the columns of the “Reporter.”
The terms of the weekly publication are $3 per an
num—the semi-monthly $2—singles copies 12 1-2 cents.

SPIRIT OF CONTRADICTION.
The very sillies* tiling in life
Creates the most material strife:
What scarce will suffer a debare,
Will oft produce the bit teres, hate;
“Ills,” you say—Isay “’Tis not;” ,
Why, you grow warm, and I am hot ?
Tims each alike with passion glows,
And words come first, aftd after blows:
Friend Jerkin had an incajlae clear,
Of fifty pounds, or more, my car;
A man of consequence, no dbubt,
Among liis neighbours round about;
He’d smoke his pipe and drink his ale,
Sing a good song, and tcjtf a tale.
His wife was of a different mould,
Her age was ncitliq^roung nor old;
somewhat plain,
rather vain—
Her features stro
Her air not bad.
What she most aped was conviction,
What she lnostMtved, flat contradiction.
A charming hajgtewife ne’erthelcss :
Tell me a tiling die could not dress;
Cakes, hashes^ pickles, puddings, pies,
Nought Come'amiss, she was so wise ;
She coufdhwmngue with woml’rous grace,
On gowwi and caps, and mobs and lace;
She COjHd not bear the sound of clan it,
fistress Jerkin was ber name,
was our farmer, such his wife,
And such their ways and means of life.
Once oil a time, tlie season fair
For exercise and healthful air,
It happen’d in his morning’s roam,
He kill’d some birds, and brought them home.
“ Here, Sally, take away my gun-—
How shall we have these Sterlings done?”
“ Done ! what, my dear! your wits are w ild—
Sterlings, love ! they ore 1 brushes child.”
“ Nay, do but look ; consider, w ife,
They’re Sterlings.” “ No, upon my life :
Sure 1 can judge as well hs you,
I know a Thrush and Sterling too.”
“ Who was it shot them, you or I ?
They’re Sterlings.” “Thrushes.” “Wife, youlie”
“Pray, sir, take hack that dirty word,
I scorn your language as your bird ;
It ought to make a husband blush,
To treat a wife so for a Thrush.”
“Thrush, Sally ?” “Yes.” “A Sterling!” “Nc.*
Again ihe lie, and then a blow.
Peace scion ensued, and all was well.
For ’twere imprudent to rebel,
Or keep the ball up of debate,
Against the arguments of weight.
A year rolled on in perfect ease,
’Twas, as you like, and as you please ;
Till in its course and order due,
Came March the 2Uth, ’22.
Quoth Sally, “ This is charming life,
No tumults now, no blows, no strife;
What fools we were this day last year;
Lord, how you beat me thi^q my dear.
Sure it was silly and absurd,
To quarrel so about a biid :
“A Sterling.” “ No, mv dear, a Thrush,
Thai I maintain”—“that I tieny”—
“ You’re wrong, good husband*’—Wife, youbc.”
Again 'he self same quarrel rose,
Agacn the lie, again the blows.
Thus every year, ’twixt man and wife
Ensue the same domestic strife;
Thus every year their quarrel ends,
They argue, fight and kiss—iv e friends j
,r ^ is S.eriing, i brush, and Ti iusn and Sterling,
Y'ou dog, you L li, my dear, my do in,g.

Hear me:
My view s to all I’ll now' relate,
The Union should coniiol each Slate :
A better mode ’tw-ouJd surely be.
Than one to govein twenty-three. K. Z.

CULTIVATION OF QU1NOA, Oil PERU
VIAN RICE.
The only direction that we have obtained from
Peru for cultivating the quinoa, is, that it is to he
sown and managed like wheat.—Feoiii our bnel*
experience we find this entirely erroneous, and bv
following it last summer, we lost at least nineteen-
twentieths of out small supply of seed. We sowt d
the seed in drills one loot apart, tlie seed in the drills
about as close as wheat, on common soil.—The
result was, the plants stood so close that few of them'
bore seed; while a few scattering plants that grew'
singly, yielded abundantly; and the richer 0 tlie
ground the greater was the yield,—so much so w as
tins the case, that one plant that grew in a spent
hot bed,(a pile of rotten stable manure with a few
inches of soil on the top,) yielded about two quarts
of seed. We conclude from this that the quinoa
should be planted one foot apart each way; tiie
ground should be highly manured with stable man
ure, and it should he hoed like corn to keep the
weeds down in the forepart of the season, it
should be planted as early as the season will admit.
The frost in the fall does not affect it, much of ours
was standing during the severe frosts of this month;
the plants on the spent hotbed particularly, was ex
posed to the very severe snow storm of Monday
night last, 21st inst. and the leaves frozen as hard
as ice; but no injury was done to it. In cleaning
out the seed, after the plants are ripe, we cut them
up, tie them in convenient bundles and dry them
perfectly. The seed is then easily rubbed out bv
the hand, and cleaned by winnowing. Somesrm-
P le machine will soon be invented to clean it. Ti e
eruvians rub tlie tops between coarse woollen
cloths. If the ground lie highly manured we believe
that it will produce one hundred and fifty bushels to
to the acre—at least this is the propotion produced
by some of ours. It has this great advantage over
every other grain—you cannot make the ground too
rich for it, & it will yield in proportion to the quanti
ty of manure applied, or to the richness of the soil.
It will grow on any soil, where the common iambs
quarter (chevopoditimalba,its fullbrothcr) will grow.
From a rough calculation we judge that halfa pound
of seed will be sufficient for an acre of ground. YVe
must not forget to caution persons who make trial
of thi3 new grain, against destroying it by mistake;
for it resembles so closely the common weed called
lambsquarter in some places, pig weed in New
York and some other places, (chenopod um aiba,)
that before the seed begins to form they can scarce
ly be distinguished from each other.
Quinoa is used for all the purposes of common
rice. We have tried it in all the (iiiTerrn f ma
in a baked pudding we thirrk it far superior *6 rice. *
It does not resemble rice either in flavour or ap- •
pearance; and can only have received the name ot*
Peruvian rice from the fact of its being used in the
same way. Its flavor resembles that of oat-meal
more than any thing else. The grain is circular,
flat; and about the size of a small radish seed.
There are too kinds, tlie white and the red. The
former when cooked is quite white, the latter re
tains its reddish color. They are easily separatad,
as the whole plant of the red kind is covered with
a reddish powder, which is a most perfect rouge
when applied to the skin. The coloring matter is
not dissipated by fight, hut remains permanent.
Perhaps a valuable dye may be extracted Horn it.
The leaves are used as spinage, being little if any
inferior to common spinage.' Persons wishing to
try t^e quinoa can obtain seed at the rate of four
dollars a pound, by applying to the Editor of tlie
American Farmer.
