1111 KM/HRA L. > ROM THE AMERICAN FARMER. AMBKK’.VN wine. Charles county. Aid. Oct. Vith, 1832. Mr. Smith ; —Under the above head, in your paper of the sth inat. I read with trreat ploa ■ure the letter of your very intelligent and res pectable correspondent, N. Herbcniont, Esq. of Soath-Carolina, to whoso perseverance and sci ence in t’« culture of the grape vine in our country, we owe much, and posterity ' v -li owe more. If experience and energy can edict the successful culture of the vine, and tea* its pros perity in our country, it will be done by that patriotic and enlightened gentleman. Having commenced the culture ol the vine rmsch upon im extensive scale, under the conviction of i s ultimate suc'H-’ss in our country, I cannot feel otherwise than gratified at learning, from Mr. Herbemont’s letter, that he has succeeded in making as good wmc this year as can be pro duced in any country. The object of this communication is to ask that gentleman through this medium, to lay be fore the public his entire process of making wine, from the gathering of the grapes to the bottling away the wine for use. M e want very much all the information that experience and obser vations upon that subject in this country, can furnisb. The onlv method that has been hud before the public, is the one given by J. A ilium, Esq. of the District of Columbia, in his valua ble treatise upon “ wine making,” and for w hich publication, he is entitled to the thanks of the public. The foreign writers upon the subject, cannot be successfully followed in this country, differing in climate, ic. and ought not to be re lied upon. We want a treatise of the kind from an intelligent and practical man in our own country, and I know no one who could so essen tially serve tlie “ vine growers” ol the United Stales, ns Mr. Ilerbemont. His knowledge o! the culture in France and his long and untiring experiments in this his adopted country, added to his science and rcsj*‘<v ability, bolter qualify him for that object than any other peraon. Would he not render a las'ing service to those who like myself are engaged in the experiment of wine making, if he would submit through your columns, or otherwise, his entire process oj making wine, in all the minutin', from the ga thering, through the mashing, fermenting, draw ing off, «l T c. d:c. to the period when the wine is fit for use ? 1 acknowledge a total ignorance U|K>n this subject, and 1 am at a las* where to look for information. This year, for the first time, my vines of three years old yielded well, and I have attempted the making of wine, but I fear it will turn out to be nothing but an attempt, for I found none of the rules, laid down in the books upon that subject, worked well with the juice of my grapes; I abandoned them all and launched the fate of my wine this year upon the ocean of whim and inexperience, hoping that at the return of the next vintage 1 should be ena bled to pursue the “ process ’ adopted by some experienced vine cultivators in our own country, and with that view I have ad iressed you these observations. Should you concur in opinion with me, can you better serve the agricultural interest and its prosperity, than by asking every •ucccssful cultivator of the vine in our country, to lay before the public, his enftr t process of mak ing wine ? POMONKEY. AMERICAN' WINE. Economy Township, Pa. Oct. 13, 1832. Mr. Smith : — Sir, Permit me to make yau an observation : the Americans use, in making their domestic wines, a very improper means, •f letting tl te juico undergo the vinous fermen tation by itsell and adding then sugar or mo lasses to produce a second fermentation. This proceeding is entirely wrong ; because by this •econd fermentation o part of the alcohol pro duced at first is lost by dissipation, and the re maining little converted into vinegar, which r ai ders the wine (if it can be called so) of disa greeable taste, and renders it unwholesome. I am, respectfully, C. EHRMANN. had. FROM THE LONDON GARDENER’S MAGAZINE. Prangos Hay Plant. —lu the 9th No. recent ly published, of Wallich’s Rarer Asiatic Plants , the pangos hay plant is figured and dcs rihed ; and such extraordinary agricultural properties are ascribed to it, that we take the earliest op portunity of noticing it to oar readers. “ Its properties as a food for agricultural ani mals appear to bo In ating, producing fatness in a space of time singularly short, and also, de structive to the Fasciola hepalica, or liver fluke, which in Britain, after a wet autumn, destrovs some thousands of sheep by the rot —a disease that, to the best of my [Mr. Moore roll’s] know, ledge, has in its advanced stages proved incura- Lie. The hist mentioned property of itself, if it be retained by the plant in Britain (and there appears no reason for suspecting that it will bo lost,) would render it especially valuable to our country. —But this, taken along with its highly nutritious qualities, its vast yield, its easy cul ture, its great duration, (a single planting will continue m healthy and profitable growth for forty years or more : hence the plant is a most durable perennial,) its capability of flourishing on lands of the in st inferior quality, and w hol ly unadapted to tillage, imparts to it a genera! character of probable utility, unrivalled in the history of agricultural productions. When once [it is] in possession of the ground, for which the preparation is easy, it requires no subsequent ploughing, weeding, manuring, or other opera tion, save that of cutting and converting the foliage into hay. From various facts it is con ceived not unreasonable to presume, that, bv the cultivation of this plant, moors and wastes, hitherto uncultivated, and a source of disgrace to British agriculture,.may be made to produce large quantities of win'er fodder, and that the yield of highlands and of downs enjoying a con siderable depth of soil may be trebled.” Britain docs not ytt contain living plants of P. pabularia, although it appears that seeds of it were sent borers early as ISI4 ; whether when living plants be possessed, British winters may not be too severe for them, remains to he proved: but the writer above s, caks as if he had little or no doubt on this point; an 1 as the plant is from a temp rate part of the East Indies, (the neighborhood of Imbal or Droz.l it may j possibly be sufficiently hardy.

WAKEFIELD, an eminent Surgeon in Eng- JjSl land, announces that out of 94 cases of Cholera on the continent of Europe, he has cured 91 by the use of Saline Apperiems.— N. V. Courier Enquirer. “ W e are not in the habit of making out certificates of I commendation for unlicensed quackeries, but we do know of a nostrum, approved too by the Faculty, that cannot be recommended too highly to the attention of every family during the present warm weather. It is denominated “ Butler's Effervescent Magnesian Apperient," and to medicinal properties are admirably adapted to the allevi ation and removal of the numerous bodily complaints in cident to the summer season. We doubt whether the whole Pharmacopae offers a more innocent and effective remedy, or a more pleasant and palateable preventive. Having seen its virtues tested in cases of severe head ache and threatened Cholera Morbus, we can conscienti ously testify concerning its utility.”— Ed.N. Y. Evening Journal. BUTLER'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APPERIENT relieves Dyspepsia, or indigestion, nerv ous debility, giddiness, headache, acidity of the stomach, and habitual costiveness. It is more convenient than the Seidlitz Powders, and the dose may be so regulated as tc perform a gentle or powerful purgation; its portablenesf and the convenience with which it is mixed, recommenc i it to the attention of all travellers, particularly those via iting or residing in hot climates.

Owing to the great number of Lots, into which the country has been divided, particularly the Gold Region, and the large di mension of the sheet it will require, to have all those numbers distinctly and accurately laid down, I have tho’i it advisable to form the Map into separate and detached Sections; which I designate as Gold Map & Land Map. All the Land Districts in the Territory are laid down on one sheet, and constitute a distinct and separate Map bv themselves. The districts reserved and surveyed as Gold Districts, arc divided into three sheets or Maps. Districts No. 1, 2, 3. 4. 5. Id, 12, 13, 14, and 13, of the first section, torin the first Map. Districts No. 1,2, 3. 14, 15,1 G, 17,18,19, 20,21. and 2° of the second section, form the second Map. Districts No. 1,2, 3. 4, 17, IS, 19, 20, 21, and 22, of the third section, and Districts No. 1,2, 3, 16, and I*, of the fourth section, form the third Map. On these Maps will be found each District in the Territory, with every square Lot of Land and Fraction distinctly laid down and numbered —ail Mountains, Rivers, Creeks, Branches, Roads, Ferries, dec. are correctly and faithful ly delineated. ’ The Map wll be handsomely engraved, printed on strong siik paper, colored and put up in morocco cases at the following prices, viz : Land Map, $3 00 Gold Maps §3 50 each, or forthe three, §lO 00 For Gold and Land Maps, comprising the whole Territory, sl3 00 Persons desirous of obtaining this valuable Map will do well to inform the publisher soon, as but a limited number can be obtained during the drawing of the Lot tery.

O* Editors in the State of Georgia, who are disposed to publish the above two or three months, shall receive a set of the Maps as compensation. O. G. " PKOSriXTUS OF THE nAWEtKXSTILUB AS>V4>€ATE. ffTUIE Und orsigned design, as early as a sufficient number _>f subscribers can be obtained, to publish in the town of • law kinsville, Pulaski county, Georgia, a paper unde, the above title. In the 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 ot improvement! While, then, the citizens ol every oilier Circuit, have the pleasure oi receiving by each mail, papers printed within their limits, may we not, with reason, indulge the sanguine expectation, that our citizens, as also those ot 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 iii this place, and contribute much to its circulation ! llawkinsvills has been so rapid in its growth, and lias 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 for 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 pco pie, the true democracy of tiie State. Prudence might require them to stop here : but they feel con strained to go farther. The various and momentous questions, which agitate to the very centre, our po litical connexion as sovereign States, and the tear, 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 coun 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 cquit 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 1 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 vve like some golden age, as a song in the memory of posterity; they trust in the fervor of their hearts to be found ever contributing th- ir poor and humble mite to resist encroachment, in whatever shape it may come, and oppression under whatever co lors disguised, till every hope, shall expire in tiie 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 ot the State, amid chance or change, or the violence and heat of party dissentions, they iaithfully promise with calmness and coolness, to discuss the measures of each and every party, in the spirit of candor. And whether praise or censure 1m 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 to Agriculture ; on the successful improvement in which, freed from burdensome taxation, mainly depend the happiness, prosperity and glorv of the Southern countrv.

The Journal Os the Proceedings of the Legislature of Oeo. efisd History of the Times , BY M. D. J. SLADE, OF MACON, Ga. “ Lege totum, sci vis scire toium." —“ Road all, it you would know all.” HE people of Georgia arc much in want of a me dium of intelligence which will promptly transmit to them the “ Proceedings” of their Legislature. We are not only generally, but individually concerned in all acts of 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 the 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 tlie expiration of the Ses sion, the Laws of the State, with a few exceptions, are as a “ sealed Book” to the great mass ot the people ; and frequently, such are the injurious 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 of 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 invention, 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 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 torcsted and to keep their constituents advised oi the progress of public business, without the abstraction of time and attention from their special duties, expended in letter writing.

He is convinced by the experi ment tnat schools of this kind will succeed and prosper. Some difficulties were anticipated from the novelty of the thing and from a want of firmness in parents ; butil they will do their duty, no fears need be entertained about the success and usefulness of such establishments. Mr. Enos B. Myer, educated in a school of this kind, (and who conducted this during the Principal’s absence toNew-York) is engaged as a permanent assistant ; on account of this arrangement, eight more students may be admitted after Ist olJuly, the commencement of the se cond term. By this date, more commodious buildings will be arected. 9 he terms and regulations are as heretofore, viz : 1. The course of studies to occupy three years. 2.

Monday in January next, under the direction of the U eT . B. M. Sanders. The principal object of the Institution is the education of ptous youngmen, who are called to the Gospel Minim, ry, and have been licensed by the church to which they belong, and have a good report oi them that are without, —and particularly those who are indigent—and such ar» affectionately invited to bring their testim mials and avail themselves gratuit utsly oi the advantages ot the lusti. union.—But .is we have no reason to believe that thin class of pupils will fill up the school; it will receive, in addition,as many youngmen of good moral character,si can be provided for, irrespective of religious sentiment*. The Comm.ttce are ot opinion that, from the limited state of its present accomm id itions, they will not bo able to receive more than 3d to beard on the premises ;h» first Term. As fast, as our friends may find themselvci well pleased with the experiment we may make, to to contribute to our means, we design to enlarge our ar. commod.uions for students, and open wider our dour* for them. All the branches of science, usually taught in grammar schools, will be taught in this Institution. No student will be received for less than one year—the year will be divided into two terms —the first of 6 montho, from the 2d. Monday in January, to the 2d. in July,—tin second of 5 mouths, from the 3d. Monday in July to tht 3J. Mi nday in December. Board, for all over 16 years of age, willbe for the scholastic year, and $0 for washing ; those under IC, at $5 per month, havinga reasonable deduction for (heir 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 willbe §9 for the first term, to all engaged in reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, geography and history.—All the higher branches of science and the languages, will be taught for g!ls 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 and kind of labor will he directed by the steward, underths control oftlie 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 co*r«« clothes to work in ; and it is desired that the wearing apparel oi 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 eret y thing, any useful book, to and in forming a library, and any impleinen for labor, or any suitable article of furniture, that any friend may find it convenient to contribute, will be th mkfiilly received. JESSE MERCER, Chairman Com. T1 IO’S STOCKS, SecTy pro. tern. County.line, October 15, 18 32. 39 P. S. As all the books in tiic same class must be of the same kind, Books and Stationary will be kept the Institution, at cost, for all those who may not other, wise have supplied themselves. TO THE PIiSLIC. £IIAVE heretofore declined making any publie statement in regard to my connexion with the Hank of Macon, and did intend to have remained silent on that subject until the meeting of the legislature, whan it was my intention to solicit the appointment of a coin, 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 arc in circulation, in differ ent parts of the country, which are calculated to do mu great injustice, I have deemed it proper and due to my self thus publicly to correct them. One charge that I understand has pained sonic cur rency in the country, is, that there are large amounts of the Bills of the Bank ot Macon in circulation that does not appear on the Books of the Bank. To this, I pre sume, it will be sufficient to say, that if there is one Bill, or any amount of Bills, bearing my signature as Cashier, or issued while I was in that office, that doe* not appear fairly set.fortii on the Books of the Bank, the holders or owners thereof may consider me and my 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 Bills regularly issued by the Bank be deposited in ome pub lie 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 h view of evading or securing it from any liabilities tint might be created against me on account of the Bank. To this, I can give a flat contradiction. I have not on 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 have nothing more than the fair proceeds of an honorable bu siness. All I possess is subject and will remain so, to any claims that can be established against me on account oi the Banker any thing else. And I myself am at my place, and have been, and shall continue to be, ready to be found at any time, by any person, or upon any occa sion. I resigned the office of Cashier of the Bank of Mu con in the month of lebruary last, since which time I have had no connexion, agency, influence, or control of its affairs, I then considered its bills perfectly good, and its moans were such as to justify that belief—that every thing belonging to the Bank was fairly turned over by me to rny successor, L. Atkinson, Esq. will be seen by reference to his receipt, a copy of which is here annex ed, and a list o! the papers then running to maturity tn tlie Bank can he seen at my office and will shew lor themselves; and that the proprietor and managers ot the Bunk considered it perfectly good for several month* after I left it, there is alum dan* proof in their own state men's made at various times and places. The very' short period before the meeting of the Le gislature, (when I shall endeavor to have the affairs of the Bank fully investigated,) prevents me now from men ti -ning such facts, and abuses as I understand do exist, but which I have no doubt will he made appear by the proper authorities, and until all the facts are properly made known, I beg the indulgence of the community to suspend any unfavourable impressions. For while I not seek, or wish to evade any just responsiblitie* (,n that account, I am equally unwilling to bear the burthen of other persons acts. ROBERT COLLIN'S. BANK.
