I do not suspect them in the least of wishing to make a false statement; bug from liabiii yto error, their tes timony would be very si* n ler authority for re jecting one <>i the me t genera! end best deter mined of nat ire’s lav i. A friend of min * who wanted seed wheat was induced to go eight or ten miles to an acquaint ance’s who had said his wheal was very clean. The grain proved to he plump, an j the appear ance fine ; but on spreading a handful on the barn floor, niv friend picked out more than 20 grains of cheat. 1 h_- farmer frankly acknow ledged that such wheat was unfit to be sown, and that he never know before why Ids fields produced so much cheat. IJe had thought that his wheat must have turned into it, but tins new evidence staggered h:s iaitii in the doctrine. Hundreds of our farmers sow what they call clean seed wheat, from each handful of which more than a dozen grains of cheat might be picked; and they cannot account for the pro duce on any other principle than that wheat turns into cheat. That such seed w heat spill «d on hard ground or th road side should yield cheat at harvest, ought to be no object of speci al wonder. For lb whoso essay was copied from the N. York Farmer, 1 entertain a high respect; hut, if I mistake not, bis great strength lies in other tilings than researches in modern botanv. He O • has sacrificed his philosophy on the altar of ex pedients without any adequate consideration; for all his difficulties appear to admit ui easy explanations, if is declaration is the more re markable, because, he corresponds with some of the first agriculturists in Europe, who would have told him had lie inquired of them, that wheat is not supposed to turn into cheat on the other side of the Atlantic ; and that i: is nothing but a Yankee notion.

(A. of Weston, Mass, in n communication published in our pa per some years since, observed, “ 1 have fixed my styes in such a manner as to have a small leftover them for leaves, with openings at the aides lo draw out the leaves with a rake, and supplying the hogs occasionally with fresh lit ter. I have also inclosed part of a shed in the barn yard to store up a sufficient quantity of leaves to litter my cattle through the winter. Th« i advantage is not confined to the mere ad dition of the leaves to the dunghill; it furnishes the means of preventing the waste of the urine of the catth'. When the floor is cleared in the morning, the leaves with which the cattle have Ih ;en littered, the dung and the urine, should hr well worked together with the shovel before they are thrown out: and being so co lound ed, the decomposition of the leaves will take place much sooner, and their addition to the dung become more valuable, “ It is customary to prefer green dung to any other for planting potatoes, and it answers very well for that crop; yet it is often too cloggy, and will remain sometimes in a lump in the hills, whereby the potato is less benefitted. The ad dition of the leaves, if well worked together as above described, makes that kind of manure much better adapted and truly excellent for raising that crop, more particularly so, if on meadow ground, w here cattle dung is apt to in crease the wetness of the soil, whilst lite leaves, rendering it better divided and lighter, give to the potato hill a greater aptitude to be penetrat ed and fertilized by the warmth of the sun.” Loaves, used as manure are very valuable for the purposes of gardening and for fruit trees. Forsyth savs. ‘‘collect annually as many loads of leaves as you conveniently can, which make into hut beds, for iaie melons and cucumbers, and for early potatoes, \ c. It has long been a complaint of agriculturists that potatoes of the best quality can hardly be raised, excepting on what is called new land, or land lately cleared from tho woods, which cov ered it in a state of nature. Such land w e know has been manured with leaves and probably for centuries. It is then a very likely supposition that leaves applied as manure to old land may supply the kind of loud most congenial to the potato ; and give to fields, which have been long under cultivation, the power of producing as fine potatoes as those lands which have lately been cleared from the wood with which they were covered whilst in their natural slate. Fattening Hogs on Apples. —A friend of mine had two acres of well grown trees of natural fruit, chiefly sour. He was going to cut it down, alleging that his grafted orchard afforded sufficient fruit. 1 told him my theory. About the last July he put in twenty-five hogs, thirteen of which were of pretty good size, the others shoals and pigs- Ihe lot had on it little or no grass. No slop or feed was given. At the end of two months and a half, the hogs w ere in fine order and one of them being killed, the meat w as esteemed delicious. My friend has given up cut ting down his trees. 1 wish some good farmer, who has sweet ap ples to spare, would put up four pigs of the same jitter in two pens, two in each pen ; that he would weigh and set down the weight of each ; that he would give two of them corn and water and two of them ripe sweet apples and water, and nothing else ; that he would measure and keep an account of both the apples and the corn fed to them ; that after a proper course of feed ing he would kill all lour, weigh and set down the weight; that he would salt the meet and smoke it; and that after having its quality in spected, tasted and tried, lie would publish the wholo. —Genesee Farmer. j Jl EAdliE & PIWE.YiX HOTEL. • lugusia.

July 25, 1832. PROPOSAL.^ For publishing in the town of AHI/cdgeril/c, Cm. (Dating the ensuing session of the Legislature.) The Journal Os thr Proceedings of the Legislature of Geo. ,Iml History of the Times, BY M. D. J. SLADE, OF MACON, Ga. 41 Lege total, sci ris scire toturn .”— 44 Read all, il you would know all.” rFMIE people of Georgia are much in want of a mc .6. die.m of intelligence which will promptly transmit to them the 44 Proceedings” of their Legislature. We are not c i!v generally, but individually concerned in all acts oi legislation, because these acts involve personal as well as political rights, between which there ex ists a most intimate connexion. It is the interest then, of every man in the community to be timely acquainted with toe action of our representatives upon these rights. This is a desideratum —to supply which the Journal is intended. At the present we labor under much incon venience for the want of it. For near, and sometimes more than three months alter the expiration of the Ses sion, the Laws of the State, with a few exceptions, are as a 44 sealed Book” to the great mass of the people; and frequently, such are the injurious eflects produced by this delay, that men have been known, who, in obe dience to a preceding, have actually violated a subse quent law which had been reversed or modified—not knowing that a new had been submitted for an old law. In addition to the entire proceedings ot the Legisla ture, the Journal and History, will contain the gener al intelligence of the day, and its interest will be in creased by faithful reports of the transactions of the important Redress Convention of Georgia, which con templates sitting in Milledgeville, the ensuing session. The Debates in the Convention, as well as those in the Legislature, will be regularly and correctly reported; for which purpose arrangements are making with a ca pable and experienced Stenographer. The Journal and History of the Times, will be pub lished daily, and the Legislative and Conventional Pro ceedings ol each day laid in extenso before the public on the subsequent morning, and immediately transmitted to any part of the State to which the paper may be or dered. The large and interesting mass of information which this Publication will contain, and the great expense which must be incurred to carry it into operation will require a liberal patronage, and such a patronage the editor flatters himself will be extended to him. It is unnecessary to enlarge on the convenience and important utility of such a publication to members ot the Legislature, in enabling them to ascertain immediately the precise state of any measure in which they are in terested and to keep their constituents advised of the progress of public business, without the abstraction ot time and attention from their special duties, expended in letter writing. Terms.— The Journal and History of the Times will be publised daily with a new type, by machinery, to be expressly procured for the purpose and on good paper, and will be put to subscribers at the price ot Five Dol lars per session, payable on the reception ot the first number. Hf* Those to whom subscription lists will be sent are respectfully asked to lend their exertions and influence to the undertaking, and to make a return of any subscri bers which may be obtained, by the 10 th day of Orta ber. They are particularly requested to do so, that the Editor may be enabled to make the proper arrangements, and to furnish promptly the first numbers to each sub scriber. M. I>. J.

The Advertiser shall lack for none of that attention, which the editor flatters himself has entitled it to the kind and cheering patron age which has been, so liberally extended to it.

G. ~ PUOSPBCTUS OF THE SIAWKIHSTILLE ADVOCATE. fin HE Undcrsi gned design, as early as a sufficient P number of subscribers can be obtained, to publish in the town of Havvkinsville, Pulaski county, Georgia, a paper under the above title. In die whole Southern Circuit, although it extends over far more territory than any other in the State, there is not printed a single paper. Surely this Circuit has not resolved to be behind every other in the .State, in the march of improvement! While, then, tiie citizens ot every other Circuit, have the pleasure of receiving by each mail, papers printed within their limits, may we not, with reason, indulge the sanguine expectation, that our citizens, as also those of other Circuits, (to whose papers they contribute a liberal patronage) will bounti fully aid in the support of this attempt to establish a pa per in this place, and contribute much to its circulation ! Hawkinsville has been so rapid in its growth, and has already risen to so much importance, in a commercial points of view, as now to render it the most important town in the Southern Circuit. What place, then, could or would be more suitable lor the establishing and sup porting a paper ? It has become the fashion, for those who make propo sals for editing a paper, to declare their political creed ; that all may know by their colours, on which side they will fight. The undersigned, without censuring such example, will follow it in part only. They, therefore, declare themselves to be native Georgians, A that while they design to steer clear of extremes, they no less fer vently hope to be ever found on the side of the peo ple, the true democracy of the .State. Prudence might require them to stop here : but they feel con strained to go farther. The various and momentous questions, which agitato to the very centre, our po litictil connexion as sovereign States, and the fear, ful encroachments of the United States’ Government (more especially as manifested by the late decision of its Supreme Court,) which like some dreadful yawning gulph, threaten the most awful and ruinous consequences, demand of every true patriot and advocate of his conn try, to be at his post, and like the faithful watchman, to tell when all’s well, or every hope is past. With what disinterestedness and deep devotedness have not the Southern people ever been attached to a just and equit able union of the States? How many concessions, and what convincing sacrifices have they not made, and will they not even yet make, as peace offerings upon the al tar of social harmony ! But it has been justly said, that a cold, calculating, selfish policy, like the Israelites’ rod, is swallowing up every better feeling, and calling upon all to fall down and worship this “golden image,” as he only true and living Diety. Whatever may be the course of others, while the undersigned truly hope, that our excellent Constitution, our once happy Union, and the high destiny to which, under happy auspices, it may aspire, will not merely we like some golden age, as a song in the memory of posterity; they trust in the fervor ot their hearts to be found ever contributing th< ir poor and humble mite to resist encroachment, in whatever siiapc it may come, and oppression under whatever co lors disguised, till every hope, shall expire in the last entrenchment of their country. Perhaps they ought to avow, their deep devotion to the political principles of Washington and Jefferson, and the unblemished principles of those who have been an ornament and glory to their country ; and more especially their cordial and warm support of the Hero who has gathered never dying laurels, both in the field and in the cabinet. But professions alone are vain. The undersigned hope to be judged of by their acts. As to the politics of the State, amid chance or change, or the violence and heat of party dissentions, they faithfully promise with calmness and coolness, to discuss the measures of each and every party, in the spirit of candor. And whether praise or censure be their object, they will never follow any other light but that of truth—they will never have any other guide, but that of honor. With these in view, they will hold as dust in the balance any unjust or unmeaning censure. No inconsiderable portion of their paper shall be de voted to general literature, with whatever may im prove, adorn or refine the mind ; and more especially t» Agriculture ; on the successful improvement in which, freed from burdensome taxation, mainly depend the happiness, prosperity and glorv of the Southern country.

M. Sanders. r The principal ol ject of the Institution is th • education I of pious yoimgmen, who are called to flic Gospel Minis!. II ry, and have been licensed by the church to which they a belong, and have a good report of them that arc without, —and particularly those who are indigent—and suchars r affectionately invited to bring their testimonials and s themselves gratuitously of the advantages of the Insii. 1 tution.—But e» we have no reason to believe that thi» 8 class of pupils will fill up the school; it will receive, in addition, as many young men of good moral character, w ' can be provided for, irrespective of religious sentiments. 8 The Committee are of opinion that, from the ifutited 1 state of its present accommodations, they will not be ' able to receive more than 30 to board on the premists the ' first Term. As fast, as our friends may find themselves ' well pleased with the experiment we may make, as t# ■ contribute to our means, we design to enlarge our ac. | comrnodations for students, and open wider our doors for them. All the branches of science, usually taught [ in grammar schools, will be taught in this Institution. 1 No student will be received for less than one year—the ' year will be divided into two terms—the first of 6 months, from the 2d. Monday in January, to the 2d. in July,—the second of 5 months, from the 3d. Monday in July to the ’ 3d. M. nday in December. Board, for all over 16 years of age, will he §3O for 1 the scholastic year, and -$6 for washing; those under 16, 1 at $3 per month, having a reasonable deduction for their labor—each student furnishing his own bed and candle*. For want of funds, board and tuition will be required in advance, to be paid to the steward. Tuition will be £3 for the first term, to all engaged in reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, geography and history.—All tho higher branches of science and the languages, will be taught for .*§l3 the first term—the second in proportion. Each student will be required to labor 3 hours each day, five and a halfdays in the week. The time snd kind of labor will be directed by the steward, under the control of the Trustees ; and each student will be expect ed to conform strictly to the regulations of the Institution. It will be expedient for each student to have coant clothes to work in ; and it is desired that the wearing apparel of all should be plain and cheap, that there may be as little distinction as possible, and that the principle of economy may be fully carried into every department, of the Institution. As our Institution is in its infancy and in want of cxicry thing, any useful book, to tmd in forming a library, and any implemen for labor, or «ny suitable article of furniture, that any friend mayfindtt convenient to contribute, will be thinkfully received.

As all the books in the same class must be of the same kind, Books and Stationary will be kept it the Institution, at cost, for all those who may not other wise have supplied themselves. TO THE PUBLIC. IHAVE heretofore declined making any public statement in regard to my connexion with the Bank of Macon, and did intend to have remained silent on that subject until the meeting of the legislature, when it was my intention to solicit the appointment of a com mittee from that body to examine into its affairs, and re port the cause of its failure. But learning that various, false, and malicious rumors are in circulation, in differ ent parts of the country, which are calculated to do me great injustice, I have deemed it proper and due to my self thus publicly to correct them. One charge that I understand has gained some cur rency in the country, is, that there are large amounts ol the Bills of the Bank of Macon in circulation that dor* not appear on the Books of the Bank. To this, I pre sume, it will be sufficient to say, that if there is ore Bill, or any amount of Bills, bearing my signature n« Cashier, or issued while I was in that office, that does not appear fairly set-forth on the Books of the Ban*, the holders or owners thereof may consider me and m> securities liable and bound for their redemption and they shall be promptly paid on presentation ; and that every man may see whether his Bills have been properly en tered or not, I suggest that the Register of the Bill* regularly issued by the Bank be deposited in otne pub lic office where every Bill holder may call and examine for himself. But they will find none such in circulation- One other charge is, that I have sold, made over and passed out of my possession all my property, with* view of evading or securing it from any liabilities that might be created against me on account of the Bant To this, I can give a flat contradiction. I have not os that account, sold one dollar’s worth of any thing. I have now as much as I ever possessed, which is entire ly free from any incumbrance whatever; and I ba« nothing more than the fair proceeds of an honorable bu siness. All I possess is subject and will remain so, M any claims that can be established against me on acco® ! of the Bank or any thins: else. And I myself ainato. f place, and have been, and shall continue to be, ready u be found at any time, by any person, or upon any otfs - I resigned the office of Cashier of the Bank of con in the month of February last, since which time *, have had no connexion, agency, influence, or control its affairs, I then considered its bills perfectly good, and its means were such as to justify that belief —that cvrr * thing belonging to the Bank was fairly turned over f me to my successor, L. Atkinson, Esq. will be «* n reference to his receipt, a copy of which is here a' rel ed, and a list of the papers then running to maturity' B the Bank can be seen at my office and will shew themselves; and that the proprietor and managersof m* Bank considered it perfectly good for several mon * alter I left it, there is abundant proof in their own sta- f ments made at various times and places. , . The very short period before the meeting ot the gislature, (when I shall endeavor to have the affair— the Bank fully investigated,) prevents me now from me tioning such facts, and” abuses as I understand do but which I have no doubt will be made appear b> proper authorities, and until all the facts are pt°P made known, I beg the indulgence of the suspend any unfavourable impressions. For while nor seek, or wish to evade any just responsibih tieS that account, I am equally unwilling to bear the bur*-- of other persons acts. , c ROBERT COLLI-Nh- BANK OF MACON, _ j Macon, 1 Sth February, Received of Robert Collins, all the Books, Notes, Bills, <fcc. belonging to the Bank of M acon ' . gethcr with One Hundred and Sixty-Eight Thou?
