PROSPECTUS. TO a contemplative mind it is pleasing to look abroad over tlx* various portions of the globe*, and observe the improvement* which art- dail> taking place in the conditio!, ot man kind. We perceive the dark clouds of igno rance and error, of snp? rs?ition and fanaticism, gradually wasting away, and the horizon gl ded with a brightness indicating the approach of a ir.Mnnjf glorious to humanitv and rich w th bl-Ssings to the children ot nun These heart-cheering prospects are the naural re suits o! extended information, but more parti cularly the blf-ssed effects of an expanding know ledge of the divine preempts of the chris tian religion. A general tl r,?t for knowledge socms to be awakened, apu the efforts now making by missionary, hihle.and other socie ties, to difoise the r? ligion of the gospel, and to inc'tlca'e n more attentive ??buervanc r of t>ur ci\ i 1, moral, and rvi.^ious duties, are attended with a success cheering to the heart ot the philanthropist. 1; is under s*jch eirotim-ta-iCos that w e pre .riit to the frie;i?Js ol Christianity in this and the neighboring stat'-*, proposals for publish ing -n t it is place a we kl) paper, Calculated to aid thi caose in which so many are enga ged. atnl are induced to hope that such an en tail! sument w>>uld not be among the least ef tic tut means of promot ing religious informa tion. Ily the multiplication of polit ical papers the mind" of the pe?. pic of this favoured coun trv have been enlighlt tied in the science of government above a I the nations of the earth. T: r oigh th* same means ts it not reasonable to exp. Ci that moral darkne?s may be dissi pated. the love 01 religion he inculcated, and a warmth be infused into 1 1 w? hearts o' believ ing christians which would urge them to st 11 greater exertions? For though we are ph>asfd in contemplating the general advance merit of christian knowledge, and the melio rated Coidmon of mankind; yet wc find much to i.iiurut win o we look around ns and per ccive how many are still enveloped tn slothful ignorance, the v duns of vice and immorality. Though living in a christian land, there are son c, alas n. any, who never enter a church, who never open a bible, who never reflect on t the cause oi the purpose of their existence.

From the American Farmer. GREAT YIELD OF C4>!<N? On a large tenle. Fountain Hock, July !5-.h, 1822. Dfar Sik: ? In compliance with my promise, I now give you the rest.lt of an experiment I inude on a field of 31 acrcs, a pari of this farm, which was cultivated in corn the U>t year. The Field had been alternately in corn, oats wheat and clover, the four prece ding year?, the crops of corn and oats \?ere nothing remarkable, but the crop ol wheal was unusually great, owing I sup pose, to the quantity cf manure thai was carried out on the fit Id after tlx oats were cut off. In ihe fall of 1S20 a la i ge stock of hogs was turned on the clover, the whole of which they rooted up and entirely destroyec? t his was dor c with a view to destroy 'he wonn. In the month of March follow ing, the fii Id was highly mntiuied with stable and bam yard manures ? the Ian of that month and beginning nf the next, it wa* broke up with one of Murray's two-lurse ploughs, (Pcacock's patenl) and har rowed with a large break harrow. It ?a^ then laid cut in rows or drills, three and a half fee! apait, and the corn plan ted in the diills one foot apar. The planting commenced on the 26th of April, and was completed on the 1st day of May. Before the corn came up, one half the field was sprinkled on the drills, either with unslackt d a?hes, or the scrapings of the roads through the farm, vna w hat manure could be collec ted from tlx- wood heaps at the house and servants quarters. The corn came up rentatkahty strong, and regular, and received not the lca?t injury from the worm, although ita e'e vastations were general through the neighborhood When about four or five inches high, it was ploughed with a bar share plough throwing the laud from the corn, at which time it was hoed and thinned, leaving the stalks about one toot apart ? about ten days after, it was again ploughed with the bar-share pleugh, throwing the land back to the corn ? a few days af er, it was twice ploughed wi'h the double shovel plough ? this was the entire cultivation it re ceived. The corn was gathered at the usual timr, and great pains was taken in the gathering and measuring by my man ager. The whale being measured by him in a sealed barrel kept at my mill for that purpose. The icsult was three | hundred and rinety s;x barrels of ears j nf good corn. The find was suiveyed this summer by a sworn surveyor of this count) ? ai-d his leport was thirty one ?c res, including rock breaks, which he estimated to contain one acre, so that it may be laitly stated from actual mea surement both of the field and pioduct, at three hundred and ninrty-iix barrels, or sixty six buthels and a fraction, to the acre. The corn was of the yellow flint kind, w ith a red cob. There wasan evident difference in the fuld; the hull that was spi inkled on the drills before the coin came up, being decidediy the best. The season wasuncomonly piopitious-? the corn never suffering fur rain, except for a short period in the month ot Au gust, just before it began to fill. Samukl Ringgold. General Ringgold's communication is valuable, bemuse the experiment made on a large scale, an with his ordinary process of cu)*Jtfre ? not a sin gle acrc cultivated for ^ premium It i& our own fault or rather misfortune, that wc have not had the pleasure to see General Ringgold's estate?one of the ipost extensive andf ertile in a proverbi ally fertile county-? enriched, moreo ver, ll kept and valuable stock of cattle^f the best English blood, at the lime of their importation. Hdilor .Imencun Farmer. / From thr Farmer'# Journal The following observations of a Ver mont farmer show, that we should con sult our real interest, as well as the fin er feelings of our nature, by defending the innoccnt robin from the attacks of both boyb and men. There are also, other kinds of birds who prey on the insects which devour our crops, and whose industry would amply reward us for protecting them. "I knew ?f na method whatever ?? extripate this larger ap cias, which hu man ingenuity has devised But Provi* Mrnce seems to have provided an ami i dote to this evil, in the rubtmuta, or common Robin. This innocent and use ful bird preys with peculiar avidity up on this species of worm. This fact may be ascertained by visiting a nest of young r bins in the vicinity of a cornfield} when it will be perceived that tney are (ed lavishly upon this kind of worm. At other limes, tbis bird feeds upon differ* ent species of worms and bugs, which ar? found upon the surface of the ground, which services are of immense value and benefit to the farmer, ar.a ought to recommend it to hia peculiar care and patronage. But its ini ocence and utility are inadequate to protect it from the wanton cruelty of boys and spoilsmen. What immense numbers of these our benefactors are annually dei trr.yed through mere wantonness and cruelty, while we are constantly hear* ing of the ravages of worms and bu^s, in the variousdepartmentsof vegetation, fcven whole cornfields have been laid ?aste ttic picsent season, by this larger species of worm, which calamity might have been obviated by having spared and fostered the robin. The utility, in fact, of this invaluable bird is so ob vious, that even legislative interf. renca is imperiously dtmanded to rescue it from the bloody fangs of the fowler. I Other stales have their protecting laws for the benefit of innocent a- d useful birds, and why should we be distanced in the sacred cause of humanity. The subject may appear trifling and novel at first, but a tittle reflection will con vince any one that it is by no means important.*' From the Georgia Journal. Peaches, peaches, peaches, nothing hjt peaches. They come into town dai ly in carts, hags, petticoats, and panta loons. The plump, rosy-fcced damsel from the country, mounted on a tall Nat raganseti looking pacer, calls at our office ? Buy some peaches, sir ? No, ma dam ? You had better buy some, they are monstrous nice? Thank you, ma'am, we have just purchased some?- But mine are more elegant than any you have seen; only joet look at them?* Thank you, ma'am, we can't lake any. Then comes the negro, sweating under a huge basket, or a petticoat tied a* both ends, with the plump and juicy fruit smiling through the chinks of th? one, or the rents of the other ? Buy some peach, massa? No? Mighty fino peach, massa ? Don't want any ? Migh ty cheap peach, n?as?a, only sevenpenco a half-pushe), and mo bring 'em ?even miles thi* hot day? Can't take any. Who ii not thankful to the country people lor the devotion with whicn they watch and su pply our wants ? and grate ful to heaven, that crovvneth the earth with gladness, and nukcih the hilb thereof drop with sweetness? Peaches, peaches, buy some peachc$ ? Thus we have it day after d?y, and even night afier night, when the moon slimes, until we can neither eat, drink ror sleep, without thinking of peaches. Mem.... Wonder why the legion ?1 ama tory poets, with which this blessrd 'own is infested, don't draw more fr* quent'y on 'he peach for similies. There are the | beautiful expressions? all vastly poc.i I cal too? plump as a peach, luscious as a p'-ach, suit as a peach, red a& a psach, malicitus, be^ pardon, delicious as a peach, and ?bovc all , should some fair Browziln>dj, whose fate it a to have her name linked in immortal rhyme, exhi bit about the chin certain indications of a^e, which politeness forbids us even to hint at, it should, by all metuts, be com pared to the ?'Jt down of the pcach. Every b^Jy is for making brandy. Those who can't get stilts, set up pots, and use old gun barrels for wurmw an additional evidence to Europeans of tho superior ingenuity of Americans. What oceans of brandy will deluge the land! What libations, deep and lonj, will be poured out to tne red nosed god! It wiM be at least thtee years before the old to pers will condescend to surprise their Hiomachs with a cup o! / )ure water.? Brandy will be their meat and drink, bed, boaid and lodging. All plraatirca airkeo, and a'.l glories sink, Before thy awecta, thou aoul-e*?ltiii^ drink Pipe fmpri-ved. A member of the Tennessee legisla ture, in speaking of the qualifications of general Jackson for the presidency, make* use of the following expression. " If this globe were enveloped in fire, who in this wide world wassowoll qua lified to war with and exiinguitb it aa general Jackson?" It this is the evil to be provided against by the election of gen. Jackson to the presidency, we shall tremble when the tri?l comes round, and look in anti cipation tor a comet.
