It is scarcely imagined, by the thousands who read tlutt paper in the various quarters of the globe,* what a scene of organised activity the factory pre sents during the whole night, or what a quantity of talent and mechanical skill is put in action for their amusement and information. Nearly a hundred persons are employed in thii establish ment; anl during tire session of Parliament, at least 12 reporters aro constantly attending the Ilonso of Commons and Lords; each in his turn, after a- bout half an honr’s work, retiring to translate in to ordinary writing the speech ho has just heard aud noted down in short-hand. In the meantime f>0 compositors are constantly at work, some of whom have already set up the beginning, whilst others arc committing the yet uiidricd manuscript of the continuation of a speech, whoso middle portion is travelling tb the office in tho pocketofthe hasty reporter, anil whose eloquent couclusiou is, pet haps, at that very moment making the walls of St Stephen’s vibrato w ith the applause of his hearers. These congregated types, as fast as they are composed, are passed in portions to other hands: till til the scattered fragments of the de bate, forming, when united with the ordinary mat ter, eight sad forty columns, reappear in regu lar erder oh'.hi-platform of thd printing press.

Some prefer mixing lime with soft soap, and applying it with a brush in the form of a white wash, which remains long upon the tree, and is an excellent application; and where the color is objected to, a small quantity of lamp black may be added, which will give it a grey appearance. We strongly urge our horticultu rists to make trial of either the above applica tions—they will find it much to their advantage. During the above operation, the small limbs of apple trees should be looned over, and the eggs of bag worms taken off They are readily dis tinguished as a projecting ring round small limbs, about one inch long, fnll of small colls like a honey comb, each cell containing a worm in its embryo state; these also hatch as soon as the leaves are large enough for them to feed up on, but can be destroyed* at this season with certainty and very little trouble.

Washing trees with soap suds or rujj- ss‘: sjip, is one of the On Transplanting Wheat.—In the “Philoso phical Transactions,” vpL 50, there is a statement of Mr. C. Milles, of Cambridge, who sowed some wheat in June 176U, and in August a plant was taken up, and separated into 18 parts, aad replan ted. These plants were taken up, and divided in .October feUoy.'iiig, and planted separately to stand the winter;* lyliich -division produced 67 plants.' . They v crc again taken up in March, and produced 500 plants. The number of cars thus formed from one grain of wheat was'21,209, which gave pecks of corn, weighing 711bs. 7oz. •and estimated at 581,000 grains. This year 3Ir. Lance, of Lewisham, has been transplanting Wheat, and'in'every instance tho root transplan ted is better than those remaining in the seed bed. He also divided a root in February, which then contained 14 straws; it was separated into 7 roots; they arc now, June 16, in number 170 straws, and nearly all out in ear; many of tile cars are 6 inch es long, and appear as if they would yield 70 grains it: each ear. Thus would make 11.900 grains from one. There arc many mindr straws not taken into this account. Many of the trans planted roots contain 46 and 50 straws, and are six feet high, with some cars that are seyen inches long. The soil into which it was transplanted is an alluvial sand.-which has had a top dressing of chalk. Transplanting offers employment for re dundant laborers. Age of Sheep.—The age of sheep may be known by examining the front teeth. They are eight iu uumber, and appear during the first year, all of a small size. In the second year, the two middle ones fall out, and their place ia supplied by two new teeth, which aro easily distinguished by being of a larger size. . Iu the third ycat; two other small teeth, one from each side, drop out and are replaced by two large ones; so that .there arc now four large toeth in the middle and two pointed cues ou each side. In the fourth -year tho large teplh are six in number, and only two small ones remain, one at each end .of the rnuge. In the fifth year the remaining*small teeth nro lost, and tiio whole front teeth arc large? In the sixth year the whole begin to bo worn, and In the sc-' venth sometimes sooner, some fall out or arc bro ken. Substitute for Sugar.—A substitute for what may now be deemed a luxury will probably, be by no moans unacceptable. Honey has been pro posed, honey has been adopted, but to many its peculiar flavor occasions a disgust they cannot o- vercome; now this flavor may be removed, with out any injury *o its sweetufcss, by a very simple process. Lato experiments, in chemistry have taught the use of charcoal m purifying various substances; this led to its application to the pur pose of freeing honey from its peculiar flavour, which lias been attended with complete success. Four pounds of honey being boiled with two pouudsof water, and one of well burntcharcoal, on a gentle fire, till the syrup began to acquire some degreo of consistency, the charcoal was separated by a strainer, the syrup being tbeu boiled, till it was of a proper consistence, it was loutid to be as free from any disagreeable flavor as syrup of sugar. This therefore, might be applied to every purpose for which sugar is commonly used. If the charcoal be coarsely powdered. I should imag ine a smaller quantity would as effectually answer the purpose. The nineteenth century has been aptly styl ed the “Age of invention.” Whether it be that fabled by the poets as the Golden Age, we can not say; but certainly some of the discoveries of science which have lately come under our notice arc. much more valuable than even gold it3elf? For example, who would have imagin ed that the most common, but most acutely painful of all diseases,—the. Toothachc—which has hitherto defied all the powers of medicine, could be cured without removal of the offend ing member. Yet this is now done by an em inent Denti§t, Mons. Malian, of Great Russel- stree*, Bloomsbury, who uses no other means than filling the cleansed cavity, or hollow, with a mineral paste, - which instantly relieves the pain, and hardening into enamel in about two minutes, remains for ever after, part and parcel of the tooth itself! And he makes artificial teeth of incorrodible mineral, which defy the powers of disease and time, and fixes them in so unique a manner, that the nearest relative si.all not he able to point out the difference be- twee n them and the natural.—Liverpool Chrpn. IIow Eggs are boiled.—“Mr. Lightfoot Lee was exceedingly particular in boiling his eggs, which he was accustomed to say required more discretion than any other branch of the {treat art of Cookery. The preparations for this crit ical affair were always made with due solemni ty. First, Mf.jLec sat with his watch in his hand, and his 'parlour* door, as well as ail the other doors down to the kitchen, wide open.— At the parlour door stood Juba, his oldest, most confidential, servant. At the end of the hall •cadingto. the kitchen, stood Pomp, the coach man; at the foot of the kitchen stairs stood «pn- jamin, the footman; and Dolly, the e<Jok,.<feas watching the skillet. ‘It boils,’ cried Dolly: CONVENTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA. A Convention of the Union and State Rights Party was held at Columbia on the 10th inst. It adjourned ou the 12th, to meet again at tho same place on the 2d Monday in December next. The venerable Col. Thus. Taylor acted as'President of the Convention, Messrs. Henry Middleton, David Johnson, Richard I. Manning, and Starling Tuck er, as Vice Presidents, and F. J. Moses and James E. Henry, as Secretaries.. The following address to the people of South.Carolina was unanimous ly adopted. Agreeably to one-of the resolutions appended to the address, tho commi'.tee of Gene- ral.Corrcspondence, have designated 'tho follow ing deputatious to the several slates. To attend the sittings of the legislature of Virginia and North Carolina, the Hon. Daniel E. Huger aud the Hon. Joel R. Poinsett. To attend the sittings of the legislature of Tennessee,, the Hon. Henry'- Middleton aud Mitchell King Esq. To attend the meeting of the Convention of the State of Georgia; to be held in Milledgevilla iu November next, the lion. David Johnson and tlie Hon. John B. O’Neale. To attend the sittings of the legis latures of Alabama and Mississippi, the Hoti. William Smith, tlie Hon. John S. Richardson, aud Robert Crowell, Esq. ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. At this period, when the controversy by which the State has for year's been distracted, is draw ing to an issue of fearful import, the Delegates of the Union Party, assembled at Columbia, in vito your solemn attention to the consideration of the best mode of providing for the public.safcty. They solicit your co-operation in a common ef fort to sustain the prosperity, and if possible, the peace of the country. There is no Tariff party in South Carolina: we agree on every side that the Tariff should b'c resisted by all constitutional menus. So far there is no difference of opinion; but we are divided as-- to the character of the means that should be employed: and resistance by nullification is thcfatal source of bitterness aud discord.—Even those who are in favor of nullifi cation differ widely as to its character. It is re commended as couslitutional and peaceful, but when explained even by iu own advocates it as sumes many different aspects, ami furnishes an evil ctbfcu.of interminable strife. Regarded as a peaceful rcmfdy, nullification resolves itself into a mere lawsuit, and may bo shortly dismissed as a flcble and efficient measure. For it has been wisely provided tha,t the constitution and the acts of Congress' made in pursuance thereof, shall be the Supreme law of tho land—and in a court sit ting undec the authority of the constitution, the merits of the question could receive no aid from the high sounding terms of an act of nullification. Regarded as a forcible iuterposiiion of the Sove reign power of the State, the objections to it lie far deeper. It is not a mere infraction of the constitution which, like an external injury, leaves its general utility unimpared, but a* radical and fatal error. The theory renders the constitution a fie ad letter;—and the practical enforcement ol tho doctrine is tho beginning of revolution. A government inadequate to its purposes cannot, in the nature of things maintain its existence. The great cud and aim of the constitution is to preserve tlie-Union! of the States', and by that means the harmony and prosperity of thecountry.—Thecild confederation proved inadequate to that end, be cause the execution of its resolutions depended on the will and pleasure, of the several States.— The convention which formed the constitution owed its existence to tho necessity of giving to the General Government the power to execute its .own laws. If the several States can nullify an act of Congress like the Tariff, that power cannot bo exercised, and the Federal Govern ment must follow the fate of the confederation.— It is in vain to argue against facts. The theory of nullification falsifies the history of the country.— It is monstrous to contend that the framers of tho constitution did not invest the General Govern ment with full power to execute their own laws, or that without sach a power Union can exist. . The restriction of the State veto in its terms, to laws declared by the State to be unconstitu tional, is merely nominal. In practice it can make no difference, for whether the law be con stitutional or not, tho effect of nullification must be the same. If one State has the jurisdiction to declaro a law unconstitutional, every other State must have the same; and the constitution can have no settled meaning. It is vain to say that the power would not be lightly exercised. If it wore a power which the States possess, if the right was acknowledged there would be no more difficulty or reserve in the exercise of it now, than under the confederation.—A venera tion for tho constitution may prevent infractions, but can have no application to the exercise of right when it is once admitted to bo constitution al. According to the theory of nullification, out number of States more than one fourth of tho whole, may change the constitution. For in ease a State should nullify an act which that ve ry State in common with all tho others had for merly recognized as legitimate, or any law that is really constitutional, unless threo fourths con cur in favor of the law so nullified, the constitu tion will, to all intents and purposes, be changed, and this power of a minority to alter tho consti tution, is deduced from the express provision that it shall not be altered by less than a majori ty of three fourths. By the samo rule, if una nimity had been required in' all amendments, tho constitution might have been changed by any imo State. Such fallacy requires no exposure. A construction which destroys the text, and gives to words an effect directly opposite to their sense and meaning, is too gross for argument. Such arc the objections to nullification in theo ry. . It is not merely an infraction of the/con- stitution, but a total abrogation of its authority. But in practico a dissolution of the Union is one of the least of tho dire calamities which it must inflict on tho country. A secession from the U- nion might possibly take, place. iu peace, and would only impair our national defence, put our independence in danger, and give us up as a prey to foreign influeucc with its usual consequences of domestic faction, and frequent wars. But Nullification ill practice must produce a direct collision between the authorities of the State and those of the union. It. would place both parties under the necessity of a conflict, and ensnare the citizen between inconsistent duties, adding to the disasters of war the cruelty of penal laws.— It may be said by the advocates of Nullification that the state is entitled to the unqualified alle giance oC its citizens, and that the decrees of a state convention would supersede all other obli gations. Without stopping to examine the cor rectness of this doctrine, it may be conceded for tho purposes of argument, that if the state au thorities command us to withdraw our allegiance from the General Government, wa are bound to obey. But Nullification professes to be a con stitutional remedy—and whilst it calls upon us to resist tire constituted authorities, it commands implicit obedience to the constitution of the Ini- ted States; can any thing less than humiliation aud defeat be expected from such a tissue of in consistencies? But if Nullification be considered not as a con stitutional power, but as a high prerogative, and an exception justified by great emergencies, it must in principle bo the same as the ritrht of re sistance which is recognized by the principle of freedom, as a right paramount to all constitutions, and is but an application to the state as a politi cal "body of the same principle which prevails iu every case between the people and the Govern ment But as this exception is by its very na ture beyond all law, it cannot be incorporated in to the rule of tho constitution. The question in all such cases is, whether the necessity exists; whether the magnitude of tho evil is such as to justify a resort to revolutionary force* We cherish a sacred attachment to tho consti tution, and deplore and dc-precate tho effects of that rage and passion, which iu the correction of abuses wonldtsweep away the inestimable institu tions of freedom. If nullification was not fatal to those institutions, thero would be no dispute a- mong us, and when the vital and essential inter ests of the state aro in jeopardy', we should think no risk too great for their preservation in the last resort. But it would little comport with patriot ism or prudence, to incur all tho calamities at tendant on the destruction of social order, if any plan can be suggested for a removal of tho bur thens of the TariH' (already considerably dimin ished) by safer and more eligible means. We believe that the times call loudly for the adoption of such a plan, and that no insuperable objections stand in tho way of a cordial cooperation of all parties. Let the southern states meet in conven tion and deliberate, as well on the infraction of their rights as on the mode aud measure of redress. The states of Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabnma aud Mississippi, are c- qually conccrnedlvith us in nll-the consequences of the Tariff. If the.freedom and prosperity of the one are involved in the issue, those of all tho others arc equally concerned. Whatever advantages may be expected from Nullification as a constitutional chock, can ouly be realised by a concurrence of tho states that are interested, and such a cooperation appear to he clearly intimated by the Virginia Resolu tions as tho proper proceeding in such cases. Aud if Nullification be regarded as an appeal to the principle of resistance, it would be madness to expect success without the support and coun tenance of those States. If tho States which are injuriously affected hv the Protective System* coucur ill regarding the ordinary constitutional checks as insufficient to restrain the General Gov ernment within its proper sphere, stick interposi tion as thev mav advise, will be more effectual, ami productive o'f tlie smallest injury. Even those who support the opinion tha't Nul lification is a constitutional and peaceful remedy, admit that it is only to be resorted to in extreme cases, aud on the grounds of great public neces sity. And how shall wo be satisfied of this ne cessity but by the support and concurrence of those States who arc equally interested? Many causes conspire to create an excitement in one State out of all proportion to tho magnitude of the evil. But if the excitement is general, and prevails as widely as tho mischief extends, we may be assured that it does not proceed from prejudice or accidental causes, and that the crisis lias arrived for the intervention of an extraordi nary remedy. It is due to the veneration in which the Constitution ought to be held, to the respon sibility-which we are under for preserving it in violate, that no measure, involving in its conse quences, so essentially the stability of the govern ment, as Nullification confessedly does, should be undertaken, except by the concurrence ofsuch a number of the States as are invested with the restraining or negative power in the case of a- mendments. Such are ,tbo advantages of a Southern Con vention. The objections to it may be easily dis posed of. It is not unconstitutional. The states are prohibited from entering into treaties or con federacies among themselves.—But a Southern Convention will form no treaty or compact ofa- ny kind.—Their object will he to deliberate, to enlighten and givo effect to public opinion: Nor will their deliberations be injurious to the Union. If the States who are aggrieved by the Tariff laws act in concert, their claims will in all proba bility bo conceded—butiftho very worst that can be imagined should happen, and their demands be capriciously rejected, it will bo for tho several States and not for tho Convention to cct on the subject. The advice of the Convention will no doubt have great weight, but it will be a saluta ry influence not a legal control. In the spirit of amity we mako this appeal to our fellow citizens. The glorious inheritance of freedom is at stake. The same blow which de stroys the Union, levels to the ground the defen ces of liberty. Under the Federal constitution we have enjoyed all, which the patriots of the American Revolution desired to see. Our coun try has increased in riches, in knowledge and in honor. And those who offered up their lives to the cause of America, would have-.closed their eyes in peace, if they could have been blessed with a vision of that future which we have en joyed. The happiness of our citizens has form ed the admiration of the wise and good; and now when the scene is changed, aud discontents cre ated by the acts of Government, have brought the constitution itself into danger; it depends oil the moderation and wisdom of tho sons of liberty, to repay iu some degree the debt of gratitude, by transmitting tho same inheritance to their poster ity. 1. Therefore Resolved, That while we depre cate Nullification as founded on principles sub versive of the constitution, we would willingly and cordially unite with our fellow citizens of the Free Trade and State Rights Party of this state, on any ground which promises a redress of our grievances, without involving a violation of the constitution of the United States. 2. Resolved, That in case of the concurrence of the states of Virginia, North Carolina, Geor gia, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi, this convention do earnestly recommend to the citi zens of the said states in convention, to take in to consideration tlie grievances under which we. labor, and the means and measures of redress. 3. Resolved, That wo solemnly pledge ourselves to adopt, abido by, aud pursue such measures in relation to our grievances, as the said convention shall recommend. 4. ifeso?t’e<f,'That a committee of nine be ap pointed to correspond with their fellow citizens of the said states, and in case of their concurrence iu tho proposed convention, to give notice of the time and place of holding the same, and fix a day for the election of Delegates from this state, and that a majority of the acting members of the com mittee be authorized to supply any vacancies in their number as the samo may occur.

Wo commence the issue of our paper thi3 week on an enlarged form, and iu a new dress. The steady and growing patronage wo have received from the public since our cstablishincatYu this place, demands an expression of our warmest gratitude. And, so fur as we are capable, we shall show our sense of this (perhaps undeserved) kindness, by still more strenuous efforts to deserve it, by increasing the facilities for disseminating in telligence, and extending the usefulness of the Press. Wc have been sufficiently long before the pub lic, to render any new profession of faith or pro mise of performance, unnecessary. For the rights of the people, aud the welfare of the state,- (of the whole state,) wc shall feel it our glory, as it is our duty and our interest, zealously to con tend, with such ability and talents as Wc are blest with. With respect to the great subjects tliat now a- gltate the country, we trust we shall always be found on the side of Georgia. Against the prin ciple of a protective Tariff, (until it shall become tho interest of our state to foster manufactories of her own.) w* slmt! i-r.nsmtn t.. protest, aud op pose such resistance as we think constitutional and proper. In our opinion, the opposition to that unequal, oppressive and unconstitutional measure which would bc..tjhe most felt, the most feared, and the most effectual, would be—not iu protesting its un&onstitutitmaiity—nor in nullifi cation—nor in threats of secession—but in c. fix ed determination to live independent of foreign sup plies, of every sort! Would the South do .this— would it manufacture for itself, every thing ne cessary for its existence and comfort—-wc might laugh at the Tariff as a thing of moonshine—as a phantom that could neither hurt nor touch tts! And all this may be done. No people in the world arc so blessed with natural advantages as the people of tho South. With a ciimateMelight- ful in the extreme—a soil bounteously prolific— and all those aJvantngcs of inim.-rul wealth and w.ater power to give facility to manufacturing op- -erations, no nation or section could compete with us iu any of the branches of industry; and we might he the most independent and happy peo ple iu the world. The resistance, therefore, to the Tariff, which we shall recommend to the people of the Soutl^ is, to purchase nothing from abroad which tee can possibly do without: To use no northern flour, nor beef, nor butter—wear no northern made clothing, hats ®r shoes—ride in no northern made carriage or saddle—read no northern novel or newspaper, or almanack—aud travel oa no north ern railway—and sail in no northern steamboat. By a determination of this sort, wc should encour age manufactures and mechanics, and literature among ourselves; keep our money at home, and add to our national independence and happiness. On tho subject of a Reduction iti the number of Representatives, .and Retrenchment in our civil expenses, we arc decidedly in favor of the mea sure. Until a reduction is brought about, Legis lation cannot be otherwise than loosely conducted —and until Representation is more fairly appor tioned, the progress of the state in internal im provement will ho but slow and faltering; her in dustry cramped; her resources dried up. or wast ed on visionary schemes; and the state be contin ually cursed by party bickerings and-political dis sensions. — > MACON TELEGRAPH—FOR THE TOWN Wo have completed the first volume of our Daily paper; aud commence this day upon the issue of a new one. As heretofore, it will be published Semi-iceckly during hall* the year—aud Daily during the business season—provided the aspect of the times and the business of the place shall seem to warrant it. If it should not be found advisable to publisli* Daily, wc shall continue to issue the paper semi-weekly through tlie year. Iu which case the price will be $3-00 per annum—•„ payable within the rear. It will be seen that we have considerably en larged our form, and made other improvements since we commenced our Daily issue, a year ago. Though our sheet does not equal some of the mammoth papers of tho day, it is not neither so conspicuously small! aud if it makes up in point and depth, what it lacks ii> breadth and length, (which we shall endeavor to make it,) wc hope our subscribers will be satisfied. At any rate, we trust our friends will not think it small for the Holt (House) Groce 038 1 ' :kctClL Ross 429 C ole mail 319 For Congr W ay no Watson 557 •191 Schley 483 Lamar •ISO Gilmer •176 Owens •161 Wilde 461 Coffee 456 Clayton 456 Gamble 451 Foster 438 Terrell 430 S towart 412 Harris 399 Haynes 333 Jones 366' Newnan 300 Branham 192 Milton 149 For Convent '.Ins and Beall (no i opposition.)

So far as their suggestions originate in kindness, or friendship, the authors of them havo our thanks; am! so far as they agree with our own views, they arc followed. But v hc-n from party, or interested, or ambitions motives, persons en deavor to diclate a particular course Uy threats, they forfeit their title to friends, and set themselves ttp for masters—a relation wc have never liked since reading Clayton's speech. As the press is the fountain from which wo draw our entire support, and its productiveness depends altogether upon the estimation which tho public entertninof our merits, it may ho supposed .that wc understand our interest sufficiently to bu- stow our best abilities upon it. Aud as it is our whole business so to temper our press that its is sues may suit the disposition of the greatest possi ble number of readers, it may also be supposed, that if we cannot do so by our own exertions, tho suggestions of our friends would be of little avail. As the patrons of a newspaper are made up of different feelings, and tastes, and prejudices, if an editor listens altogether to those of one set, 2:c di rectly runs against those of ani-tlier. In classic language, “in steering from Charybdts he rims foul of tsevlia.” Wc have concluded therefore to adopt the advice of “Uncle Toby to pleaso ourselves as far as we are able, an.l let the world take care of itseif. price: October 1, 1332.

Though wo do not agre^viih the General, (and never have) in all his political opinions, wc an; still disposed to do him justice. Wc think him honest in his opinions; and if we are not to be governed by a spirit of intolerance, cannot wc allow a difference of opinion to be cherished ? Granting la- is every thing that is. said of him, (which we do not believe,) wo would still prefer him for a repre sentative in Congress before several others now before the public. As to his turning against his old friends, we havo seen no proof of it. Accor, ding to our recollection be professed the samo sentiments two years ago, that he avows now.— If they were orthodox then, why are they not so now?. Newnan has rendered important services to hit country; and, according to our plain notions ot the “everlasting rule of ri-dit," is deserving some thing from its hands.
