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.

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.

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.” • told Stareh for Linen. There is economy in stiffening the cellars and wristbands of shirts with unboiled starch.— Take as much of the best raw starch as will fill half a common tumbler, or a half pint cup.— Fill it nearly up with very clear cold water.

Then pour it into a broad enrtherri pan, and add gradually n pint of clear cold wa ter. and stir and mix it well. Do not boil it.

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 uselessly and insproridently appropriated, with out material benvlit even tolhes® children who outages. 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. cotton, and bcinganxious to increase their pro-| duct, were easily seduced into the purchase of; , , , ,,, . . • in the returns heretofore receired of the elceiim, more lands nnd mors negroes.

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.

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.

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.
