Appeal in behalf o f the Home Industry
% Society, to the Citizens of Augusta :
y The undersigned were appointed, at a
late meeting of the Home Industry Socie
ty, a Committee to address you in behalf

are addressing you in behalf of your own
interests —tlio promotion of your own

lesson is effectual—and now no
l wanting to make them useful
ifitable members of society, but
I such an extension of the operations of the
I Institution as will enable it to give them
I as much work as they can do.
This brings us to the main object of|
i this address.—ls the work could be sold
I as fast as prepared, the present capital
would be large enough ; but this is im-
I possible, and will remain so as long as the
|P managers have to buy the goods to be
manufactured at second or third hands.
It is therefore desirable that the capital
be so increased as to enable them to pur
chase stocks from importers, so as to
| enable them to compete with those who
I bring similar manufactures from the
M northern cities. Now it is submitted to
1 you, whether this increase should be
made by additional contributions, or by a
, loan secured by the present property of
I the Society.
The President of the Society will call
ia meeting at an early day, that you may
have an opportunity of expressing your
views upon the subject—at which time it
is most earnestly desired, that not only all
the members of the Society, but the citi
zens generally, who are always alive tr
truly philanthrophic objects, would be
present, to aid in concerting measures
forextending, ia future, the benevolent’
designs of the Society.

True Reform.
mighty against sin, hurling truths at every
| wrong, hut sts4)reserving, amid it all, a
lioving heart. Tie is fearless and unfalter- ;
fcng—hepresifes right on with its mission;
But he doejfcnot court persecution, or
Hky for He is contented to
bide its tiinef and is careful that
s not injure it by rashness and im-|
as much a9 oy sluggishness orj:
■HHI. He will not be angry if men do
not believe him at the first announcement.
‘ He is content if he may only preach the
truth, for he knows that once scattered
abroad, it can never die. It may not
blossom until long after he is dead—but
what of that ? The summer rains and
winters snows shall work for it; and
long after his voice is hushed, and his eyej
i dark, his very dust shall nourish it—for it;
will blossom at last! Such is the true re
former. You see that the rash and angry
radical differs in much from him.
True reform works by a law of nature,
and,' like all nature’s laws is not to be ac
celerated, or counterfeited. Slowly must
the work go on—yet it will go on. It is
life, it is liberty—dreams and speculations
are not it. The good, the good alone, it
labors to secure—the good that is the
past, the good that is the future. It labors
' to remove evil by purification and by ad
vancement. It holds on to the hallowed
i that has gone before —it reaches out to
the true that is to come. The spirit of
r true reform, neither too fast nor too slow,
both conservative and progressive, may
■ be describod, with a slight alteration, in
■ the words of Goethe.

That rnaketh not haste,
That taketh no rest.
Is it ever fulfilling,
Its God-given best.”

resides near Barnesville, was stabbed in

Monday evening last, at that village, by
some one unknown, as it was done in a

Rise of Newspaper Men. —Thiers, the
1 great Ex-Minister, seven years before
■ the last revolution in France, was a poor
• boy, and director of newspapers at the
office of the Constitutional, He after
, wards supplied the editor’s chair, led on
the popular mind to revolt, and finally
1 contributed to seat Louis Philip, on thp
throne of Charles X., and placed himself
■ in possession of the portfolio of Polignac.
■ Guizot, the present Minister, was the ed
itor of the Journal of Debats. The great
t Erskine was formerly a reporter to the
London Chronicle.' Brougham and Sir
’ James Mclntosh were also reporters to
, the Times. Mncauley, the late British
t Secretary of War, was a printer.—Bos

1 Cracker.
In a decidedly handsome and trium-
I phant criticism on an editorial of the
. Savannah Georgian, communicated to
the Macon Telegraph, we find the follow
ing, given as the origin of this very com
mon word: .
! “The origin of the term cracker, as
! applied by a British officer in the revolu-
I tionary war to a portion of the native
, Americans, is something like the follow
ing: All native Americans, instead of
the titles assumed by themselves, ofwhigs
and tories, were called by the British,
■ Crackers and Skinners. The former
I were called Cracker, from the sound of
! their unerring rifles, so much dreaded by
, his Majesty’s troops, in passing the inter
( minable forests and impenetrable swamps
'of South Carolina and Georgia. The
ilatter was called Skinners—a homely
I figurc, taken from the slaughter-house—
has they followed a detachment of British
| soldiers, as surely as the buzzards, and
were as faithful in their attention to the
property and moveables of the slaughter
’ ed inhabitants, as that scavenger bird
1 was to their carcasses.”
A distinguished chemist recommends
the following compound as a safe and ex
cellent dentrifice, viz: of white sugar
1 and powdered charcoal, each one ounce,
i of Peruvian bark, half an ounce, of cream
of tartar one drachm and a half, and of
canella twenty four grains, well rubbed
together into an impalpable powder.—
He describes it as strengthening to the
gums, and cleansing to the "teeth, and as
destroying the disagreeable odor in the
breath, which so often arises from decay
ing teeth. As a preventive of toothache
we have heard washing the mouth and '
teeth twice a day with salt and water i
rtrongly recommended by gentlemen
who have experienced much benefit from

He was a witty fellow who said, when
iver you attack your neighbor’s charac
ter, do it behind his back, so as not to
wound his feelings.
AUGUSTA HARKET: l
COTTON.—There is not much doing'
in this article; but what is sold generally
| brings full prices. We quote 8J a 9^,
| remarking that the principal sales are at
'BJ a 9§. Several lots now in Savannah;
jhave lately been sold here at prices above
what they would bring in that market;
and though the stock here is unusually'
large, very little has been lately forward
ed to that market, although freight down
the river is reduced to 50 cents per bale,
jby the two Steamboat Companies, and |
’sometimes a still lower rate by other
boats.
BAGGING.*—Therc has been rathern
better demand for this article since our
last publication, without any alteration in
prices. We would, however, again re
mark that most of the planters arc sup
! plied for the present crop.
GROCERIES.—In almost every arti
!cle in this line, the sales have been to a
fair extent, as a good many planters have
been down during the week laying in
their supplies.

[This truly benevolent institution employed a
[ colporteur, during the last summer, to visit the
| upper Counties of Georgia, and supply the desti
tute with copies of the Scriptures, cither by sale
at cost, or by gift. The extent of existing desti
tution and the importance of this excellent un
dertaking can be appreciated only by acquiring
such an acquaintance with the tacts in the case,
as the annual Report will bring before the Socic
| ty. This community has hitherto sustained the
Bible Society cordially and efficiently and we
doubt not will do so still. It is periiapssuperflu
jous to state that there is not the slightest tincture
lof sectarianism in the undertaking. Not only
.all denominations of Christians, but also all who
I value the Bible as a means of social and civil im
provement not only may, but, we fear not to add,
