I would therefore advise every farmei who intends to nise Hemp next year, to raise as mu;h Seed as he thinks will answer his own purposes tie wm men oe saie, ami cannot be disappointed ; and if Seed shou d even be low, he will not be obliged to pay money for it, and can ose little or nothing.

GEOItGIA WOOL. At a time whrn the public atteriti on is occupied in the promotion of tnmtt manufacture : wncn tne conviction is becoming general, that we shall never fed a full conscious ness of independence until we can supply all our necessities from our own in ttrnal resources, and restrain the pride, av trice and injustice of foreign nations by a sense oi tneir aepen dence upon us for the raw materials necessary to their manufactories, as urrll a manv other wants: when, in fine, G.

Butthe secret does not tcrrninatejhelre; ; Chemists ha vedis covered several compositions, whose esp'ostve powers are superior to that ol" th'e strongest gun-powder These have gone by different names. . One of them has bcn called fulminating mtrcury the description of wh.ae . ff-cts and preparation, according. tb a imnir methwl is thus given by Or. VVoodh )'uH, (Professor of Cherriis try.in trie University of Pennsvlva ib) in Coxt N Medical Museum; for Jan. &c. 1803. Supposing the fulminating mercu ry might.be applied to the purposes of war, and particularly in pcrfora- tinghe timber's of vessels by being ' pplied to their bottoms, by means of j the torp-dots of Ir. ruUon, I un lertook a series of experiments, to find out a simple method of prepa ring it in large quantities. In this I succeeded ; and the fol lowing mode of making this dreadful -omposition never falls, and yields a larger product than any other process at present known. , T.ike two ounce measures of a sa turated solution of me' .ury in the nt tiic aci I, & pur it into a quart turn ilcr; Add to it four ounce measures f alkohol, add to these four ounce neasurcs of the best and strongest nitric atid. Immediately an effervescence Will tkr place and an immense quantity )f nitrous t thensed gas and nitrous ur will be discharged in thick white clou U, and in about 15 minutes, the fulminating mercury will be deposit ed at the bottom of the vessel, in slen- leWcnrystals of a white and brilliant color. They must be washed by filling the tumbler twice with pure watery and hen dried by a gentle heat, or by ex posing them two or three days in the .dr. v The proportion of ingredients here mentioned will yield 227 grains of this exploding preparation. A hrLk-bat, weighing five pounds, was placed upon fifteen grains of this fulminating mercury, lying upon an inrh plank. A train of gua powder was made to communicate with the fulminating compound. Upon firing it, a piece of the plank, several inches id length, was torn "ff. Thirty grains, fired in tiie same manner, sp;it a orick in two, perfora ted the plank, and tore away a piece of it, five rriches in length and two in breadth. Sixty grains, placed oh a three inch plank, with two orick-bats over them, broke the bricks into a variety of pieces, scattered them in every di rection, and m tde an excavation in the pbnk, half an inch deep, and five in t mumference. Ninety grains, Utfder five bricks, broke the whole into an immense number of pieces,-perforated the three inch plank one inch deep, arid nine in circumference. l'wo hundred grains were laid urjr on an oak -plank five feet in length, ind one foot in breath ; another plank oftheame size was laid over the 'ultrrinatmg'raercurv and confined by JO lbs. weight of bricks. Upon firing the compound, all the bricks were broken in pieces ; a foot in length & breadth of the table on which the planks rested, was carried away ; the uip?r plank was thrown into the air ; oth were split, and small excavations made in them ' y V An ide of the immensetforce of this substance mav be conceived vhen it is related that ten grains of it -will burst the strongest pistol barrel thut can b? made.
