Society. \ r •
Macon, Dec. 20, 1832.
At a meeting of tho Georgia - Agricultural
Society, held this day at the Court, House,
pursuant to previous arrangement—the meet
ing was organized by Dr. I. Ellis "(vice presi
dent;) taking the chair—and M. Bartlett dat
ing ns secretary.
After the meeting was organized, and some

His luiuor C. B. Strong arose, and delivered
an eloquent and interesting address before the
Society, and a large and respectable audience,
who were assembled on the occasion.
After the conclusion of the address, on mo
tion of Dr. Owens, it wasresolved, that the
thanks of this Society be presented, to his hon
or Judge Strong, for the very ablfJ Had appro
priate address delivered before them this day;
and that he be respectfully requested to furnish
a copy of the same for publication.
After which the Fair of the Society was held
and the several Committees proceeded to exa-

Report cn Cotton.
The Committee appointed to examine and
report on Cotton, foiuid their labors much light
er than could have been anticipated. Owing
in part to the smallness of tho premiums of-
tered; and in part probably to the thing not
being generally known orwell undorslood, there
was little competition for the premiums.. And
the Committee were mortified with the reflcc-
cteroal blot un the memory of those who caused
(lie disorder.
Fellow-citizens of the United States! The
threat of unhallowed disunion—the names of
those, once respected, by whom it is tittered—tltc
array of military fotce to support it—denote tho
approach of a crisis in our affairs on which the
coHtinuance of titar unexampled prosperity, our
political existence, and perhaps that of all free
governments, may depend. The conjunction
demanded a free, u full, and explicit enunciation,
not only of my intentions, but of my principles of
acliun; and us the claim was asserted of a right
by a State to annul the laws of the Union, and
even to secede from it at pleasure, a frank expo
sition of my opinions in relation to the origin
smd form of our government, and the construc
tion l give to the instrument by which it was cre
ated, seemed to be prbjibf. Having the fullest
confidence in the justness of the., legal and consti
tutional opinion of my duties which lias been ex
pressed, I tely with equal confidence on your
undivided support in my determination to exe
cute the laws—to preserve the Union by ail con
stitutional means—to arrest, if possible, by mod
erate but firm measures, the necessity, of a re
course to force; and. if it be the will ..of Heaven
that the recurrence of its primeval curse on man
for the sheading of iibrolher’s blood should fall
.upon our land, that it be not called dawn by any
cil'cnsive act on the part of the United States;
Fellow-citizens! The momentous case is be
fore you. On your undivided auppoit ol your
Government depends the decision of the great
question it involves, whether your sacred Union
w ill be preserved, and the blessings it secures to
t.s as one people shall he perpetuated. No one
can doubt that the unanimity frith whir.li that de
rision will be expressed, will be such as to in
spire new confidence in,republican institutions,
and that the prudence, tho wisdom, and the cour
age which it will bring to their, defence, will
transmit thorn unimpaired and invigorated lo our
children.
May the Great Ruler of Nations grant that the
-" inal blessings with which lie lias favored ours,
may not, by the madness of party or personal
ambition, be disregarded and lost; and may His
wise l’rovidence bring those tvbo have produced
this crisis, to see tire folly, before they (eel the
misery of civil strife; and inspire a returning
veneration for that Uniuii which, if we m«y dare
to penetrate His designs. Ire has chosen us the
only means of attaining the high destinies to
which we may reasonably aspire.
In testimony whereof, I have caused the Seal
of the United States to be hereunto affixed,
having signed the same with my hand.
Done at the City of Washington this 10th day
of December, in the year of our Lord cue
thousand eight hundred and thirty-two, and
of the independence of the United States the
fifty-seventh.

Dr. George A. Winn, (a bachelor,) received
the Premium for the Lest Domestic .Silk. The
specimen consisted of floss, knitting, and about
20 skeins of sewing silk, handsomely dyed oi
nine different colors.—Tiffs was a most bcauti-
i ful article, not equalled by any imported, and
received much admiration. It was afterwards
sold at Auction from about thirty to fifty cents a
skein. Very handsome specimens were also
presented by Miss Tripp of Upson and Miss E-
Jizabeth Baxter of Carroll.
Several lots of very fine Butter were present
ed, and it was with much hesitation that a deci
sion could be made to whom the premium be
longed. It wds awarded to Airs. Wheat of Up
son County, for a lot - of about fifty pounds.—
The other specimens descrying particular at
tention, ''•ere frets Mrs. E. W. Wlufc of Jones
Comity, Airs. Penelope Pierson of Alonroe, and
Airs. Napier of Alacon.
The Premium for the best barrel ofFiour was
awarded to John Dennis Esq. of Jones County.
It was manufactured at his mills near Clinton,
and its appearance was every way equal to the
best Northermflour. This specimen it is hoped
will prove a profitable recommendation to his
mills which have recently been fitted in the best
manner. The flour wds'afterwards put up at
auction, and sold for eleven dollars per barrel.
Of Domestic Wine, but one specimen was
presented, which was from the vineyard of Dr.
A. B. Rccd of Alonroe county, and of course
received tho premium. It was made from the
Wiirrcntoit Grape-,, and although of this year’s
i vintage, was pronounced by all who sampled it,
'‘not bad 16 take. 11 It Was expected that ma
ny other specimens would have been offered, as
this subject has attracted so much attention of
late, and that several individual's of this vicinity
have wine of their own make of greater age.—
We hope hereafter that tiffs new and important
tent in our agricultural pursuits, will make a
more important figure at our fairs.

day both houses adjourned yesterday. The elec

SCALDING HOGS; *
A gentleman of experience and observation
desires us to f .p>nke known, for the benefit of
Farmers, 1 a mode practised, bv hint of scalding
bogs. Instead of putting cold watc- or ashes
into the hot water, as is the general practice, be
washes the Ifbg iu cold water immediately pre
vious to scalding it. It matters not bow hot
tho water may be with which the hog is scald
ed, if cold water is first used in the way pre
scribed, tho hair can he taken oflf with ease and
neatness. No danger need be apprehended of
the hair becoming set, as is often the case when
this mode is not resorted to, owing to a particu
lar temperature of the water.
The gentleman who communicated to us this
mode, says he has practised it for more than
twenty years, and has not, during that time, ex
perienced any difficulty in scalding hogs.
In dressing a young pig for roasting, he first
dips it in cold Water, and theft, in hot, by which
process ho is enabled:to remove the hair with
the least possible trouble. t . .
As this is the season for killing hogs, it may
be well for farmers and others to bear this sug-

- The Ox raised aud fatted by Thomas K.
Smith of Upson county, is a fine one; and it
affords us much pleasure to award for him the
first prciiiium. This Ox is eleven years old,
and is of the common breed. .. .
The Ox presented by Janies W. Alston of
Bibb county js also a fine one, and would do
credit to air; -market. We award to him tho
second premium}' This animal is also of the
common stock, and is 12 years old.
The above animals; as well as several Alilcli
Cows on the ground, though all believed to be
of the common stock, show .what can be done
by care red attention. -With the improved
breeds, the results would nave been greater.
Wo sincerely hope and trust ibis exhibition
will stimulate our enterprising citizens to make
greater exertions to improve their breeds.
We have awarded to Wm. Solomon of Bibb
the premium for the best Alilcli Cow.
For the other premiums upon live stock, no
claims were - presented. This is the more to
be wondered at, When wc consider the number
of fine animals in the neighborhood, and with
what little trouble they might have been on
the spot.

Aud pleasure gives each prattling tongue
Its pleasing powers.

Of passion and of pride;
When lucre gains his high esteem,
And hoarding wealth is all his dream,
Alore wish’d than all beside.
Then Autumn, with her golden grain,
Aud blushing fruit, tho ago of gain,
Comes hastening ou;
Alan’s garner’d wealth delights his eye,
He thinks not that ho soon must die,
Or from his gold bo gone.
But winter comes and man decays,
1 iio falling leaf his fato portrays,
Tho dying year his doom;
Aud as bonenth tho snowy pall.
Each vegetating thing must fall,
So man falls to his tomb.
Yet, Autumn, thy dccayiug trees.
In russet clad, have power to please.

Very Daring Dank Robcry.—The Bank of
South Carolina! at the corner of Church and
I Broad streets, was entered during the night
of Friday last, by the use of false keys, and
robbed of$156 000, consisting wholly of.ihe
notes of that Bank. There were four outer
doors, three of which have two locks each; that
wete entered by seven false keys, and ihe inner
doors leading direCtiy to the vault in which the
money is kept,' was forced. The boldness and
skill of this robbery., committed in the midst of
the city, and within a stone’s throw ofthe main
guard house, furnished occsiori of great aston
ishment. •
\Ve are’liappy to learn that the principal en
gaged in this extensive robbery, was arrested
yesterday noon, and safely lodged in prison.
Upwards of $100,000 of the money was found
at the lodgings of this man, whose name is said

it is believed that tho balance will be immedi
