I have used Smith’s Grammar, Geography, and
Arithmetic on the Productive system, in my Acade
my for the last three years, which is sufficient proof
I hat 1 consider them superior to any works on the
subjects of which they treat. Students in Grammar,
using Smith’s work, make progress which astonishes
those who have been accustomed to the old system of
class-books: The same might be said of students in
the other branches. Os these l speak confidently,
having my knowledge from experience.

Smith’s Geography Improved.—The above stand
ard and popular work has just appeared from new
plates, the old ones having been destroyed by lire.
The entire work has been revised, and we now pro
nounce it the most accurate work in market. We
perceive several new maps; one of Palestine; one of
Liberia; one of Mexico, &c. The Map and Chart of
the World is presented on an entire new plan, and
one which addr great value to the work, and must be
universally admitted. In all respects the woik is equal
to any Geography we have, and in several important
particulars superio/ to the others.
N. B. The report that au action ha* been commenc

Atlas for an infringement of “Mitchell's"’ is false and

PROPS3.ILS OP A NEW WOUR
TO UK ENTITLED
GBOJUiIA ILijUSI’HATED,
In a series of Original Pictures, on steel, with let
ter-press descriptions.
/inHE |>lan of publishing m successive numbers,
.ft. pictorial works, illustrative of the scenery ol
countries, has long be n a popular one in Europe and
is rapidly gaining favor in our own country.
The prospectus to issue such a work, devoted to
the scenery of Georgia, although novel, will ondoubt
edly find universal favor, and be regarded as it is by
tiie editor, a plan at once felicitous and feasible.—
There is much scenery in our State, that is not sur
passed in beauty and sublimity, by that of any other
State in the Union. The upper counties abound in
scenes, which need only to be known to command the
admiration of all who love the beauties of nature.
Much of the scenery of the north is inferior to our
own, but is yet visited by thousands simply because it
lias been wriiten, sung and “ lionized” by uutho.s and
travellers, until its beauty has become universally
known and appreciated. It is desirable that attention
should be directed to om own resources of ilie pic
turesque m natural scenery, and when this is done, our
own and northern tourists will speedily render our
beautiful views as immortal as our language.
The south is charged with general indifference to
C t* ... . . N ..VV .
the progress of Literature and the Fine Arts; ad
probably the strongest foundation for the charge is
(blind in her inaction in enterprises calculated to foster
these objects. The publication of the proposed work
will, it is believed, be an effective blow at this founda
tion, and a step towards the establishment of our lit
erary reputation, to which end much honorable effort
is now directed.
A third consideration, and the last which will now
be urged, is the intrinsic value of such a publication as
“GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED.” It will embody
the representations of the beautiful and sublime in
our Stale scenery, and afford to all, at a trifling ex
pense, exact pictures of our mountains, valiies, catar
acts, public btii.dings, &c., which thev may or mav
not otherwise behold, but which, in either case, would
afford peculiar pleasure.
The proposed work will be executed in a style su
perior to any similar pictoral work in the country.
The plates will be executed on steel, by eminent en
gravers, from original drawings, in ide expressly for
the purpose, by Mr. T. Addison Richards, of Augus
ta. The engravings will be accompanied with letter
press desciiptioris, prepared for the work, and in tins
departmnnt the editor will secure, as far as possible,
the assistance and co-operation of our best writers. In
short, no pains will be spared to make the work a per
fect gem of its kind, to the end that it may meet a
welcome reception not only at home but also abroad.
Conditions —“GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED”
will be issued in monthly parts, in the quarto form, a’
§5 per annum in advance , or at 60 cents for each
\)or\, payable on'delivery.
Each part will contain two highly .finished engravings
of Georgia Scenery, accompanied with letter-press
descriptions and historical facts, printed on large and
beautiful type on the finest paper,the whole enveloped
tn a neatly printed cover.
Any individual who will obtain and forward six ad
vanced subscriptions shall be entitled to a copy of the
work. Clubs may receive twelve copies to one ad
dress for 539, or twenty-five copies for in either
case free of postage.

JL tion of many breeders in Georgia and Alabama,
has been brought back from Kentucky, where he stood
with great success last season, and will stand the en
suing season at his owner’s statue, at Fort Mitchell,
ten miles below Columbus. Lots and stables are
provide) for mares, and every attention wi 1 be paid to
them, and cart; used lo prevent accidents and escapes,
but no liability will be incurred for either.
The pedigree and performances of Bascombe are
too well known to the public to need repetition here.
His stock, in Georgia and South Carolina, where he
made his two first seaso s, are of the highest promise,
and he has proved a sure foal-getter.
I-lis owner would feel authorised to demand, and
might expect to receive, the highest price for bis ser
vices: but believing dial the state of die times and the
i price of stock, as well as the reduced prices o! a'ori
! cultural products, do no! w arrant the exhotlnfant char
ges heretofore made for the services of stallions, and
with a view to serve the best interests of the turf and
breeders, he has dete.mined to fix on the fallowing
reduced rates, viz: Seventy five dollars the seasoif.
with one dollar to the groom; three dollars pei week
for keeping the mares. Black servants sent wi.h
■ cares boarded gratis.
Persons sending mares from a distance, will dease
send with them a note for the season.

PROSPECTUS

COTTON GIN MAKER AND GIN
NER \S GLIDE.
BY 1 KiVH'LETON REID.
f yjV.IE importance of properly preparing be Staple
JbL of any country or section is well kno. n.but tw
no country or section is it of such importance as those
that grow and produce the Cotton as their only stable.
Therefore, under this and other considerations, I pro
j pose to publish by subscription my system and practice
in Cotton Gin making and Ginning.
With the advantage of many years, exper.eree —
J ;he sacrifice of much time and labor—and believing
.’ that l have brought n nearer to perfect on than any
jollier person, I submit it to the public m a concise
land correct m inner—with niv hue practice and with
j manv improvements besides the valuable one of the
j application of ihe Friction IVheels, and new mode of
making the brush, (which l have patented in the Re
public of Texas) ; and the Brake or Agitator, my last
imnrovement, which much increases the speed n gin
ning, and improves tiro Colt’ n. (It is well request nti and
in the plates and explained in the work.) The work
to contain about one hundred pages octavo, in good
binding, with ten well engraved (dates, illustrative of
the system; of the Gin complete, plans, elevations,
sections, and figures in detail, with references at and dt
scription of every part. Also plates of plan and eleva
tion of Gin House, Gear, position of the Gin, &<•. i al
culations of gear in speeding the gin, with particular
description, explanation and directions to the Cotton
Planters-fn constructing the gin-house and gear, and
general management of the gin, cotton, ftc.
With the rules and explanations given in the pro
posed Work, any good workman may execute the
whole plan well, and the Planter be enabled to judge
for htrnselfin constructing Ins House, Gear, &c., ind
in selecting a Gin that is rightly made in every respect,
and of good materials; therefore being a great sav ng
or gain to him, first, in cleaning iiis crop in half the
time usually required; and in pu king and moteing his
cotton well, so as to command the highest price uv
market; in the durability of his Gin, which, if made
by the directions given, will last to pek a thousand
bags of cotton, (this would require three or four com
mon made Gins to do the ftiffic.) And further, them
is no rbk or danger of burning ttie House, Cotton, Sic,
by taking fire from the Gin on the new friction wheel
plan, though you were to give it double the motion
Gins running on boxing would bear. Nothing w ill be
set down in the proposed YYotk but positive facts, be
ing the result (all prejudices aside) ol fait and repeat
ed experiments, (a safe guide to mechanical know -
ledge and skill.)
If l were uoing to continue the Cotton Gin making
business in tins country, I should not trouble the pub
lic with this Prospectus for 1 would much rather
work for money than write for it a* in the first case,
I would do it strict justice,-—in the latter, I must ask
allowance for its defects, and liberal patronage for its
support.
