nKRBEMOVrs AMERICAN WINE.
Wc some time since mentioned the fact that
the excelled* wine made by Mr. Hcrbomont of
South-Cnrolina, which he calls “ Palmyra,” had
been found particularly adapted to the use of
invalids, and preferable to all other wines tor
such purposes. We have now before us a letter
from one of our most respectable physicians, to
George Fitzhugh, Esq. (the agent of Mr. Her
bemontin this city) from which wc extract the
following remarks:
« The Herbemont wine which you presented
last spring to my patient, Miss was high
ly useful to her. It was particularly well timed.
The patient was then so weak as to require
wines and tonic medicine, and yet her s omach
was so irritable and so productive of acid secre
tions, that every trial of other means had failed.
Indeed, until the American w in- was used, eve
ry thing of the kind seemed to be rather inju
rious than profitably. This acted like a charm ;
proving exceedingly palatable and nourishing,
and at the same time serving as an excellent
tonic medicine, free from acidity. It was so
salutary that Miss frequently expressed
her gratitude to you —adding that she ‘ had been
wishing it was grape s-nson, as you seldom for
got your friends in sickness, but she now found
that your pure grape juice suited her ease even
better than the fruit.’ ”
The original letter may be seen at the office
«f the F anner.
This testimony in favour of the quality of the
wine made by Mr. Herbemont is important, be
cause it proves that not only good wine may be
made in the Fnited States, but that wine is bet
ter. than the imported article for the purpose for
which a very considerable portion of wine is
used. It is also apparent, that (lie qualities that
render it most useful for medical purposes, are
the very that constitute the elements of
good wine for all purposes. These qualities
consist of, first, purity—perfect freedom from
all deleterious admixtures ; second, soundness ;
third, good flavor; and fourth, strength, with
out the addition of alcohol. It will scarcely be
denied that wine best adapted to the use of in
valids is also best for common use ; or that such
as is injurious to the weak patient who requires
stimulants and tunics, must also be more or less
so to the robust.
W c are glad to perceive that a fair experi
ment of making wine is in rapid progress in va
rious parts of the union, '/'lie society for the
cultivation of the vine in this city have com
menced operations, and planned a thousand vines
of the Herbemont grape, and wjjj ere long give
a good account of it, we doubt not. Various
spirited individuals in our vicinity have also
made very extensive preparations for vineyards
with a view to making wine; some of whom
have planted many thousand vines. They arc
determined to give the subject a thorough trial,
and wc have no doubt they will succeed. In
deed, from what we have observed, and our
means of information are very extensive, we
have come to the conclusion that in a. very few
years we shall make wine for exportation. Our
failure heretofore has been caused by our re
sorting to foreign vines, and following foreign
methods too much in the spirit of routine, with,
out making due allowance for the great differ
ence of climate. We have native grapes equal
in all respects, for the purposes of wine, to any
foreign grape —such as the Herbemont, the
Cunningham, &c. and wc are now turning our
attention to thorn, and a favorable result may
be anticipated with entire confidence.
We ought to have mentioned t.iat it has been
Intimated to us that a small quantity of Mr. Her
bemont’s wine will be sent to Baltimore for st.le
in a short time. Mr. 11. has a ready market for
all his wine at home, hut we believe intends to
send some to this market fur the purpose of inn.
king its quality more generally known, and of
encouraging others to commence wine making.
CULTIVATION OF COTTON.
The Cotton plant will growin most situations
and soils and is cultivated with very little trou
ble or expense. Acording to Humboldt, the
large species which attain to the magnitude
of trees require a mean annual temperature of
68 degrees of Farhonheit ; the shrubby kind
maybe cultivated with success under a mean
temperature of GO to 64 degrees. The plant is
propogated by seed.
When the season has been favorable, the cot
ton is in general fit for pulling about seven or
eight months after it has been sown. This pe
riod is, however, well indicated by the spontane
ous bursting of the capsule or seed-pod. The
plantations at this time present a very pleasing
appearance. The glossy dark green leaves
timely contrast with the white globular forms
profusely scattered over the tree. In the East
the produce is gathered by taking olfthe whole
of the pod. In other par s, and this is the more
general practice, the seeds and cotton arc ta
ken away, leaving the empty husks. The first
is of course the most expeditious method, but it
has a serious disadvantage. The outer part
breaks in minute pieces and thus mixes with
the cotton, which cannot be freed from it with
out much time and difficulty. Whichever me
thod is pursued this work is always performed
in the morning before sunrise, as soon as possi
ble after the cotton displays itself, because long
exposure to the sun injures its color. The cot
ton shrub does not in general last more than five
or six years in lull or productive bearing; the
plantation is therefore generally after that pe
riod renewed.
The separation of the cotton from the seeds is
a very long and troublesome operation, when
performed by the hand ; for the fibres of the
cotton adhere tenaciously to the seed, and some
time is consumed in cleansing even a small
weight of so light a material. In the greater
part of India, the use of machinery for this pur
pose is unknown, and all the cotton is picked by
hand. A man can in this manner separate from
the seeds scarcely more than one pound of cot
ton in a day. The use of a machine called a
gin very much facilitates the process. Tins
machine in general consists of two or three flut
ed rollers set in motion by the iix>r in the man
ner of a turning-lathe, and by its means one
person may separate and cleans' sixty-iive
pounds per day, and thus by the use of a simple
piece of machinery, increase his effective power
sixty-fivc times. But a still greater increase
may be obtained hv the employment of more
complex engines. In the United States of Ame
rica mills are constructed on a large scale, and
which are impelled by horse, steam or other j
power. Eight or nine hundred pounds oj cot
ton are cleansed in a day by oneof those machines,
which require the attendance of very few per
sons.
Entirely to cleanse the cotton from any re
maiotng fragments of seed, it is subject to ano
ther process. Tins consists in whisking it a
bout in a light wheel, through which a current
of air is made to pass. As it is tossed out of
fhis winnowing machine it is gathered up and
* I
conveyed to the packing-housc, where, bymeans
of screws, it is forced into bags, each when fill
ed weighing about three hundred pounds.—
These are then sewed up and sent to the place
of shipment, where they are again pressed and
reduced to half their original size.
Before the invention of spinning machinery
in 1787, the demand for cotton-wool in England
was comparatively small. In the 17th century
we obtained our trifling supply wholly from
Smyrna and Cyprus, and when we were even
receiving it from our own colonics, wo find that
from 1763 to 17*7 the average annual import
was barely four millions of pounds. In 1786
wo imported 19,900,000 pounds ; viz : 5,800,000
pounds from the British West-Indies ; 9,100,000
from the French, Spanish, Portuguese, and
Dutch colonies ; and 5,000,000 from Smyrna 1
and Turkey.
The average annual import for the last six
years has been 777,372 packages—each bale
weighing about 21 or 3 cwt.
Os 227,760,000 lbs. of cot’on-wool imported
into the United Kingdom in 18t8, 151,752,000
lbs. were from the United States; 29,143,000
lbs. from Brazil ; 32,187,000 from the East In
dies; 6,454,000 lbs. from Egypt; 5,993,000
lbs. from the British West-Indies; 726,000 lbs.
from Colombia, and 471,000 lbs. from Turkey
and Continental Greece. —Penny Magazine.

SIERCEK INSTITUTE.
rSMIE Mercer Institute, for combining study and
JS_ manual labour, will go into operation on the 2d.
Monday in January next, under the direction ot the Rev.
B. M. Sanders.
The principal object of the Institution is the education
of pious youngmen, who are called to the Gospel Minist
ry, and have been licensed by the church to which they
belong, and have it good report ot them that are withe ut,
—and particularly those who are indigent—and such are
affectionately invited to bring their testimonials and m ail
| themselves gratuitously of the advantages of the Insti
j union.—But as we have no reason to believe that this
class of pupils will fill up the school; it will receive, in
addition,as many youngmen of good moral character, as
can be provided for, irrespective of religious sentiments
The Committee are of opinion that, Irom the 1 finite I
state of its present accommodations, they will not bt
able to receive more than 33 tobot.rd on the premises the
first Term. As fust, asour friends may find themselves
well pleased with the experiment we may make, as to
contribute to our means, we design to enlarge our ac
commodations 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.
No student will he received for less than one year—the
year w ill be dividedinto 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
3 1. Monday in December.
Board, for all overlG years of age, willbe $33 for
the scholastic year, and $6 for washing; those under IG,
at >jss per month, having a reasonable deduction for their
labor—each student furnishing his own lied and candies.
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 sls the first term —the second m 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 be directed by the steward, under the
control of the Trustees ; and each student will be expect
ed to conform strictly to tiie regulations of the Institution.
It will be expedient for each student to have coarse
(doilies 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. Asour Institution is in its infancy
and in want of every thing, any useful book, to and in
forming a library, and any implemen for labor, or any
suitable article of furniture, that any friend may find it
convenient to contribute, will be thmkfnlly received.

TO THE PUBLIC.
EHAVE heretofore declined making any public
statement in regard to my connexion with the Bank
of Macon, and did intend tc have remained silent on
that subject uniil 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 of
the Bills of the Bank of Macon in circulation that does
not appear on the Books ot the Bank. To this, I pre
sume, it will be sufficient to any, that if there is one
Bill, or any amount of Bills, bearing my signature as
Cashier, or issued while 1 was in that office, that does
not appear fairly set-forth 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, 1 suggest that the Register of the Bills
regularly issued by the Bank be deposited in ome pub
lic office where every Bill holder may call and examine
for himself. But they will find none such in circulation.
O ic other charge is, that I have sold, made over and
passed out of my possession ail ray property, with a
view of evading or securing it from any liabilities that
might be created against me on account of the B.mk.
To this, I can give a flat contradiction. I have not on
that account, sold one dollar’s worth of any thin?. I
have now as much as I ever possessed, which is entire,
ly tree from any incumbrance whatever; and I have
nothing more than the fair proceeds ot an houorabie bu
siness. All I possess is subject and will remain so, to
any claims that can be established against me on account •
of the Bank or 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 Ma
con in tiie month of February 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 means were such as to justify that belief—that every
thing belonging to the Bank was fairly turned over by
me to my successor, L. Atkinson, Esq. will be seen by
reference to his receipt, a copy of which is here annex,
ed, and a list of the papers then running to maturity in
the Bank can be seen at my office’ and will shew for
themselves ; and that tiie proprietor and managers of the
Bank considered it perfectly good for several months
alter I left it, there is abundant proof in their own state
ments 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
tioning such facts, and abuses as I understand do exist,
but which I have no doubt will be 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 unlavourable impressions. For while Ido
not seek, or wish to evade any just responsibilities on
that account, I am equally unwilling to bear the burthen
of other persons acts.

For publishing in the town of Milledgevilk, Ga.
(During the ensuing session of the Legislature.)
The Jonnial
Os the. Proceedings of the Legislature of Geo.
ulncl History of the Times,
BY M. D. J. SLADE, OF MACON, Ga.
“Lege totuin, sci vis scire haunt.” —“ Read all, i 1 you
would know all.”
*pHE people of Georgia are much in want of a me.
I?, dium of intelligence which will promptly transmit
to them the “ Proceedings” of their Legislature. We
are not only generally, hut 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 wc labor under much incon
venience for the want of it. For near, and sometimes
more than three months after the expiration of the Scs
sion, the Laws of the State, with a few exceptions, ar»
as a “sealed Book” to the great mass of the people; and
frequently, such arc the injurious effects produced by
this delay, that men have been known, who, in obp.
dience to a preceding, have actually violated a suhsr.
qvent law which had been reversed or modified —ncs
knowing that a new had been submitted for an old law.
In addition to the entire proceedings ol 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 tho
important Redress Convention of Georgia, which con.
templates sitting in Milledgcville, the ensuing session.
The Debates in the Convention, as well as those in the
Legislature, will he regularly and correctly reported;
for which purpose arrangements are making wilh n ca
pable and experienced Stenographer.
The Journal and History ck the Times, will be pub
lished daily, and the Legislative and Conventional Pro
ccodings of each day laid in ertenso be fore the public on
tho subsequent morning, and immediately transmitted
to any part of the State to which the paper may he or
dered.
The large and interesting mass of information which
this Publication will contain, and the great expense
whicli must be incurred to carry it into operation will
require a liberal patronage, and such a patronage the
editor flatters himself will he extended to him.
It is unnecessary to enlarge on the convenience and
important utility of such a publication to members of she
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 ot the
progress of public business, without the abstraction of
time and attention from their special duties, expended
in letter writing.
Terms.— The Journal and History o f the Times v. ir
he publised daily with a new type, by machinery, to hi
expressly procured for the purpose and on good pape;,
and will be put to subscribers at the price of Five Dol
lars per session, payable on the reception ot the first
number.
TIT 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
hers which may be obtained, by the \')th day of Octo
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. D, J. SJL.AIM3
Will continue to publish the Macon Advertise?,as
heretofore ; and assures his patrons and the public that
so far from the interference or conflict of the above pub
lication with the interest and management of the Ad
vertiser, that he designs and believes that the former
will greatly improve the latter. The Advertiser shall
lack for none of that attention, which the editor Hatters
himself has entitled it to ihe kind and cheering patron
age which has been so liberally extended to it.
The Advertiser will continue to be published weekly
in the summer and tri-wcckly in the winter, at uie
price of Five Dollars per annum, payable in advance.
Land and Gold Region Lists of the Dravnig-'Ue
addition to the Legislative and Conventional Proceed
iner, the JOURNAL will contain Official Reports ot die
Drawing of the Land and Gold Lottery Regions,, which
will commence, it is presumed, about, the comnaenoemenr
of the sitting of the Legislature. Should the Lottery
however have commenced its drawing previous to that
period, such days as may have drawn, will also be pub
lished, so that individuals interested will have entire
lasts from beginning to end.
O’ The fraternity are respectfully asked to publish
the above, which, as heretofore, will he reciprocated;
and to each paper a copy of the Journal will bo regular
ly and gratuitously sent.
