For some years I have been experimenting
upon tho apple tree, having an orchard of 20,-
000 Newton pippin apple trees, I have found
it very unprofitable to Wait for what is termed
the bearing year, and consequently it has been
my study to assist nature, so as to enable the
trees to bear every year. I havo noticed that
it bears more profusely than any other tree,
and consequently requires tho intermediate
year to recover itself, by extricating from the
atmosphere and earth tho requisites to enable
it to produce. If unassisted by art, the inter
vening year must necessary be lost. If, howe-
vc, it is supplied with the propor austenance, it
will bear every year.
Three year* ago, in April, I scraped all the
rough bark off a few app’e trees in my orchard,
and washed the trunks and limbs within reach
with soft soap ; trimmed out all the branches
thnt crossed each other, early in June, nnd pnint-
t>d the wounded part with white lead, to keep
nut the moisture; then split open the bark, by
running a sharp pointed knife from the ground
to the first sot of limbs, in tho latter part of tho
same month, which prevents the tree from be
coming bnrk-bmird, and givo the inner wood
and opportunity of expanding. In July I pla-
'j-* ced one peck of oyster-shfell lime around eaeb
1 tree, and left it piled about tho trunk until No
vember, when I dug the lime in thoroughly.—
The following year I collected from those trees
1,700 barrels of frnit, some of which was sold
in New York for $4, and die balance in Lon
don for $9 per barrel. Strange as it may ap

This membrane, sympathising with other dis
eased parts of the eye, frequently becomes in
flamed nnd swollen, nnd then it i*, that, instead
nf bathing it wi'h coal'ng solutions, it is called
the hools, and is cut out by ignorant quacks;
and thus tho horse is deprived of their natural
appendage, nnd is subjected to .all the pain nnd
misery that tho introduction nf foreign substan
ces is calculated to inflict upon that sensitive
organ, the cvo. We would condemn the man
guilty of this barbarity <o stand thirty mmntns
with a gnat in his eye, hi9 pocket handkerchief
stolen, nnd his hands tied ; ho would be then
able to eomnrehend the extent of the misery
ho had inflicted upon an animal oftentimes no
bler than himself.
It is true thnt the bleeding that follows the
cutting, sometimes reduces tho inflammation
and gives some apparent countenance to this
hnrhnrous practice—hut surely blond letting

better terms than the loss of this valuable ap

A Hew Fashioned Mntircss.
We sojourned lately nt the house of a conn
try friend, where we wsro treated to the most
comfortable maitress it has ever been our good
fortune to encounter. At first we thought it
was fatigue which had converted an ordinary
couch into a “thrice driven bed of downbut
we soon found that their was a most comforta
ble peculiarity about the bed if sal f, and upon
inquiry we found thnt we had been lying upon
a mattress of eight or ten blauke's quilted to
gether and encased in a linen cover; this mat-
tress rested upon an ordinary feather bed.—
This hybrid between a feather b»'d and a nrif-
iress, secures all the softness of the one and
all the lovelness of the other. Moreover, it is
an excellent mode of dispos'ng of the blankets
during the summer. We warrant he who tries
it, never buys another hair mattress.

Hew and Improied Cotton Gins.
The Alabama Monitor says: Wo alluded a
few months ago, to the fact that John II. She
rani, Esq. n wealthy and skilful planter of
Sumter county, and withal a man of great me
chanical ingenuity, line] invented and patented
n Cotton Gin, superior to any oihor now in use.
We copy tho following notice of it from the
Sumter county Whig of22d inst.
“A few days ago we saw Mr. Sherard’s new
pa'ent Cotton Gin in full operation, ami we'
can assure those who have not seen it, that it
greatly improves the quality of the cotton gin
ned, and is altogether a beautiful p : ece of ma
chinery. It is very simple in construction and
easily kept in order. The saws arc nearly
like thoso of the ordinary Gin, save a slight
difference in tho cutting of the teeth. The
ribs are circular and revolve with the saws—
behind the ribs is a cylindrical brush revolving
against the saws, which'takes out modes, trash
nnd dirt; still further behind and a little below
is a similar brush which takes off the cotton
from the saws, and curries it over a grate,
which entirely removes the remainder of the’
trash, dirt, See.; Still further back is a brush
with wings, which blows the cotton through n
flue with a tin bottom, perforated with oblong
holes similar to those of a tin lantern, through
which, should there be any remaining I rath or
dirt, the whole will pass. This flue has one
advantage over all others, it nercr chokes up,
nnd consequently docs not require delay of
time in cleaning it.
••The whole is carried by two haliJs" and
works most admirably- A fifty saw Gin, the
size of that Mr. Shcrnrd now has in operation,
will gin four bales per day. We would*ad vise
every farmer to visit Mr. Sherard and judge
for himself. Mr. S. has been at groat trouble
and oxpensc in perfecting his improvement,
and we havo no doubt his efforts will be justly
appreciated by the cotton growing interest.—
Ve would remark that the improvement may
lie attached, at small expense, to the ordinary
gin; and further, that Mr. Shcrad’s new gin
will cost but a trifle, if any more, than those
now in use.”

Popular Education.
The extrema excitement attending tho late
presidential canvass having partially subsided
we hops that an effort to arouse the public at
tention to a subject so vital to our social wet
fare as education, may not prove unsuccessful
We speak of popular education; and we are
satisfied that ail who have turned their atten
tion to the present miserable condition of Com'
mon Schools in our State, will unite with us
in a hearty effort for reformation. Indeed
the subject is properly brought before the pub
lic, it will be rendered manifest, that there is
no interest which may not be deeply affected
by that condition. We hav® outgrown the
bigotry and injustice of exclusive privileges,
and it is folly to talk of any other security in a
popular government for civil and political lib
erty, than a proper system of education.—
There is no other check to licentiousness, and
no other means by which the fatal effects of a
prostitution of public morals may be avoided.
In view of this fact, our dereliction of duty as
sumes a serious aspect, as it is apparent, that
if wo have not degenerated, ignorance and cor
ruption have grown with the growth & strength
ened wifh the strength of our population, un
til doubts have been excited in the minds of
some of the purest patriots, of our capacity
to perpetuate our institutions with the present
alarming progression of these evils. To re
trieve our lost ground, to advnnco a step in the
refinement of civilization is yet within our pow
er; a practical remedy for the social and po
litical diseases of which we complain exists—
a remedy, which, while it contributes to the
security of civil rights, would enable the poor
erand of course the most numerous portion of
the people to maintain, free from bribery and
corruption, their political privileges. Its ten
dency would be to elevate the poorer classes
to an equality in morals and intelligence with
the wecnlthj’, and to unite both indisSolubty in
the advancement of their mutual happiness.
The remedy of which we speak is an improved
system of popular instruction such ns has been
adopted in a number of the States of the Union,
universal in tls operation, by offering to the
poorest child as good, if not better means for
education, than can be furnished by our best
academies. Such a system, so well calculated
to sedu'r® to all a republican education, is espe
cially a desideratum to those conversant with
the mode of canvassing elections in Georgia
We do not wish to' recur to scenes which are
only the legitimate consequence of nurturing a
large class of our people in vice; nor can we
censure those who in the heat of party excite
ment, engage in degrading efforts to influence
the Jtoating vote of our State,—but we do say
that tho existenco'of such a vote, in its present
extent, is an infamous stigma upon our char
acter, humiliating to freemen and damning to
republican institutions. You who intel’igontly
exercise tho elective franchise, do you fully
comprehend the significance of what is termed
the floating vote! Are you aware that it can
be bought, made drunk; can be deluded - and"
enslaved by unscrupulous partizans? Do you
know the extent of its power? Are you aware
that it can control the policy of our state govern
ment, decide important measures affecting our
domestic interests, and determine, so far as
Georgia is concerned, the character of federal
administrations ? Wearctoomucb in the hab
it of crying shame to those who use, for party
purposes, this disgrace to universal suffrage;
but neither they, nor the infamous subjects
of their corruption, are the most culpable in
this matter—ignorance and vice to the last is
an inheritance, regularly transmitted, by force
pf custom, and the shame should be with the
intelligent voter the philanthropists of the Slate,
who permit, by neglect of duty, the existence
of such customs and the consequent creation
of this mass of ignorance and corruption. Ga
among these miserable pests of society and learn
their history, and it will be found as lamenta
ble to them as disgraceful to the Stale; as a
class, they are excluded from all that is noble
and virtuous, and condemned t® all that is base
and corrupt. Trace their history in your sta
tute book; read the reports of your legislative
committees on education. Hear them lament,
year after year, the wretched condition of what
the law stigmatizes as poor schools. Hear them,
urge reform, reform—and then learn what ma
ny years of legislation has done to reclaim these
outcasts of society. Yon will read, of funds

dom embidied in our State representatives for
many years, as exhibited in connection with
this vital subject—and such the inducements for
education which tho republic of Georgia has
held out td the" largest class of the children of
her freemen. Show that you are proper ob
jects of public charity, and if you can find a
teacher, the State will reward him for his ser
vices !—In what light must we be regarded as
republicans, when it appears that the poor are
not only subject to this humiliation; but that the
dntouiit paid to ihe teachers ban secure only
those of the most narrow rapacities, driven to
such occupation by necessity, without supervi.
sion, and often of very questionable moral cha
racters. Ought not the blush of shame to man
tle our cheeks for such unworthy, such con
temptible efforts. Can it be that we hope to
perpetuate the purest institutions, when depen
dent upon such flimsy materials, or that we
hope to put to shame the iniquity of European
despotism, and to offer the world an effectual
and brilliant example of a people prospeorous
and happy in self-government when such mate
rials are'formine, by which, if the remedy is
not applied, all that we cherish will be destroy
ed. The receptacles wo offer for the education
of th® children of the State, iike our prisons,
rather the nurseries of vice than virtue, are ra
pidly producing their effect, and the day is not
far distant, should our indifference continue,
when the miserable slave of European despo
tism will hurl back in mockery the boasts which
were at once his hope and our glory. Such
a retribution may yet bo avoided. Georgia
may still exemplify in practice, as in theory,
her “wisdom, moderation and justice," if our
peaple will unite in one strenuous and determ-
cd effort for reformation.

Keeling of the Dcmoeralie Parly.
The members of the Democratic party of
Bibb county, are requested to meet at the
Court House, in Macon, on Saturday, the 30th
Iftst., at 12 o’clock, for the purpose of selecting
candidates for county officers. By order of the
Democratic Central Committee.
Macon, Nov. 26th, 1844.
The proceedings of the Democratic meeting
in Upson county, ia unavoidably excluded until
our next number.
Hoiv has' Colton been affected
bv the Tariff* Caws ?
In 1842 the present Tariff Bill became a
law. As soon as it had gone into operatioa
perfectly, its effect was to disturb a healthy
balance of trade; producing first a momentary
appearance of prosperity, which has been nat
urally, and as an inevitable consequence, suc
ceeded bv a period of calamity. But to be
more explicit; the excessive duties laid on
some articles, by the Tariff caused fewer to be
imported, while on others it acted as an entire
prohibition, and its general effect was to reduce
our imports, far below our exports. This fact
is attested bvtho report of the Treasury De
portment at Washington, daring the Inst session.
Foreign countries consuming our Cotton, be
ing unnble'to pay US, as they had formerly
done, in their goods almost wholly, were forced
to make shipments of heavy amounts of the
precious metals to restore the balance. This
they did; and lot us see the consequences on
our prosperity.
The specie went into the vaults of the Banks,
in the importing cities. New York principally,
and became the basis of libera! issues <»f bills,
and hsavy discounts. Tho consequence soon
that money became too redundant in
New York, for a souad and legitimate trade.
A file of papers of that city, published during
last year, will establish the trutli of this asser
tion, if it was not borne out by the exulting
tones, of Gazettes nearer home, for the same
period. Money then beiug too plenty for the
ordinary, and safe business of tho country, and
stockholders in Banks, being desirous to make
large interests, it was loaned out to speculators
in large sums, and invested in Cotton.
Cotton advanced in price in a short time, in
this country beyond its actual value in Liver
pool. And speculators by refusing to make
shipments, hoped to force the consumers on
tho other side of the Atlantic, to accede to their
exaggerated 1 prreev Money rembinirnj e'afcy
the cotton region, in a few months, last fall
and winter than hod been introduced in a cor-
rcspondingnumberofthe preceding years.
If there were any moan?, of computing the
number of negroes; brought into the culture of
cotton at that period, nnd each effective hand
was estimated to have produced five bags, du
ring this year, the addition to the crop from
that source would be found to be far from in
considerable.
To this increase, then add the abstraction
of many acres on each plantation, from the
grain crop, and which on account of the in
ducement hold out by high prices, were put in
to cotton by those even who bought no negroes
and the sum total would not be small.
If these statements are true, let us recapitu
late,* and see their aggregate effect.
First,—The speculation in cotton, which
took its rise in New York, by withholding tho
article from the foreign consumer, and indu
cing hinf) to work short time, caused a heavy
amount to lie over another year. And that
amount, instead of being converted into the va
rious fabrics, and put out of our way, now
comes in to svrell the stock of the present year.
Second,—And consider the number of ne
groes, which in conscqicnco of those specula
tions in cotton, and the transitory plenty of
money were brought from Virginia and else
where, to increase the amount of this crop.
And Third,—Think of the additional lands,
put in cotton, by those who added no new hands
to their former number, which but for the for
ced prices of last winter, would have ieen in
grain, or put to pasture er rest.
What rational cause, can any one assign for
all these consequences, than, that the tariff of
1842 checked importations during the ensuing
year, throwing the amount of imports below
the amount of exports, and the deficiency hav
ing to be made up in specie, this specie produ
cing a momentary appearance of prosperity, in
duced speculation; and thoee speculations, from
the threfe reasons we have assigned, broucht
the supply of cotton above its proper relative
proportion to the demand; and thereby ne
cessarily causing a depression in prieo?
Is there *ny error in thejo facts ? Are im
proper conclusions drawn from them ? If so,
we will patiently submit to correction. As the
electimis are past, we cannot be charged now
with mis-stating facts or conclusions, to effect
the vote of any person. But if these opinions
meet tho eye of any honest member of the Whig
party; who is not resolved, even in his cool
moments to shut hii eves against ihe truth, we
hope they may suegpst the reflection io his
mind, whether or not, he has been misled by
ambitious partizans, to support mm and meas
ures, utterly destructive of thg prosperity of the
cotton growing region.

We have received sufficient returns from all

Popnlar Education.
We ask attention, to an article in to-day’s
papar, on the above subject which we
from the Augusta Constitutionalist. Tht
ject has always been one ot the deepest con
cern to us, but the impressive manner in which
it is enforced by \fr. Guieu, makes it addi-
tionilly so.
We believe that Mr. Guieu, enjoys the con
fidence' of the public, for abil'ty and integrity
of purpose, at least equal and without meaning
to disparage others, in our humble judgment
superior to any editor in Georgia. He is there
fore fittest to urge this solemn subject, oh tb©
consideration of the people. We hope he will
continue to do so, arid arou-’e oil tlie fraternity
to his aid, in ths noble undertaking. If suc
cess should riot crown Iris early efforts, we
hope he will not tire, but remember that he had
to write many years, before he could arouse
the people of Georjio, to the necessity of cur
tailing their representation in the Legislature,
but did he not succeed at last ?

We extract the following t&ble from a
Washington paper. About one half the States'
are official, the other half estimated from the
October election :
New Paiilion Circus.
The citizens of Macon have become “a fa
vored people.” A third corps of Equestrians
are now amongst us, and as they are the last
so are they the bast that over caterred for pat
ronage in this community. Tho proprietors
are men of character, and there is something
about the whole establishment which entitles it
to notice. Not the TeaSl of its attractions is the
in tins country, enabled them to withhold the presence - of a' lady whoso Equestrian exploits
supply of C>»tto:i for same time- But the Eng
lish consumers, resolving not to submit to such
rates, worked in their factories but a few days
in each week, discharging their operatives for
the balance of the time. In this way, they
were able to hold out on a scanty supply of the
staple, until the speculators were brought to'
terms.
Thus we see, that the cotton which should
have been consumed, and put out of the way
of the crop of this year, is now lying in large
quantities in - the atorediouses in Liverpool, to
be added to'the present crop.- That*tho specu
lators were finafly obliged to'seil,- at tho mercy
of the consumers,• is an incident in commer
cial history, that will not be soon forgotten, by
«ny one who held up cotton last winter, for
higher prices.
In this connection,- let us not lose sight of
the fact, that the effects of this plethora of mo
ney, did not confine itself to New York specu
lators; but radiated to the circumference, and
included the staple States, as active participators
in bringing about the baleful consequences,
which it induced. As the rise in cotton, pre
ceded the time for preparing for another crop,
planter* haring realized good prices for their
must be seen to be appreciated. There is no
thing in the performance to offend the most
fastidious, and we therefore commend it to the
patronage of all classes of our citizens.
At the particular request of soYeral respecta
ble gentlemen, separate Boxes will be reserved

The Democratic Association of Augusta, wo
perceive from a late number of the Constitu
tionalist, have appointed a committee to invite
Mr. Polk, the President Elect, to visit that city
on his way to the seat of the Federal Govern-
ment, to enter upon the discharge of his duties.
The Associition of this eounty, hove seconded
tho call, and hare already forwarded him an
invitation to visit our city.
The facilities afforded by Rail Road and
steam Boats will, we imagine, render this as
convenient nnd expeditious a route to Wash
ington city as any other.
We sincerely hopo tho invitation will be ac
cepted, and that our city will be honored witn
the presence of him, whom th® voice of the
natisn has called from his retirement to the
most elevated station known in this or anv
other country.
