And as tlio J 1 I thing has been repeatedly suggested by judicious j friends, we have conc'uded to adopt this method j . ! of ascertaining tho wishes of our brethren go nerally on the subject. Should the proposed j work go into effect, as it can interfere in no way 1 with any of our religious newspapers, we shall | expect to see it circulate freely through the I au Southern States. It wiil be commenced as soon ! as a sufficient number of subscribers shall be ob- 1 ~ tained, and continued as long as circumstances! SS_ shall require.

PROPOSED BIBLE CONVENTION. j .1 Circular prepared by direction of the Charles- j 0? ton Bible Society. rm Charleston, May 1837. i co Sir:?The Managers of the Charleston Bible j ts Society, have appointed the undersigned, a com-! j mittee to prepare and send forth a Circular, invi cle ! several Bible Societies in the Stato to . por unite with them by their delegates, in a Conven- i ce tion, to be held at Columbia, on Tuesday the 5th J * December 1837. ? The objects to be secured by such a Conven-1 tion. are to ascertain what has been done in this j State for the last four or fire years in giving ! circulation to the llible; what facts may be col * j Itcted, which will throw light upon our yet re- | ? [ maining destitutions; whether it is expedient, to j ell?age simultaneously in rcsupplying tlie State ! cd I with the Word of Life upon a plan sin/ilar to ; ice that which was agreed upon in Columbia, several. Lu. years ago; and if so, by what means and by what I agencies the plan can be most fully and thor-' oughly, and jcdiciously carried into ctfect, so j ? I that our entire reading population, have free ac cess to copies of the Holy Scriptures in their J ,w own possession. Aud finally to deliberate upon: j. any other subject connected with the diffusion j of the Ilible, whether at home or abroad, in Christian or in heathen lands. j The general fact is known, that districts of { country, which have been thoroughly supplied ( one year have contained many destitute families | he next; and what is true of one district is true i of all the rest, as the same causes operate to ere. rs< I ate the want, viz: the formation of new families, ns ) the immigration of others, and the wearing out of r0 the Bibles themselves In most cases where a re.supply has been undertaken, after an interval of four or fn*c years, the destitution has been found full half as great as at the period of the original supply, and in some cases greater, fiom 1 the causes already assigned. Wc allude to this j fact because it was one of the principal motives } r:j" which induced the Managers of the Charleston j , " Bible Society to propose a convention. The Committee regard it a6 superfluous to urge ! the subject upon your consideration by any further remarks, as all the reasons for a Convention, which we could submit, must be f.irmiliar toj*our mind. All that we have so solicit, is, that you would call the attention of your society to the proposition, that should they deem it expedient, delegates may be appointed to represent your So- j ciety in the Convention. We have the honor to subscribe ourselves, in name, and by the appointment of the Managers 1. of the Charleston Bible Society your fellow la1'* borers in the Bible cause, ral u %! \ x* r v l-vs B GILDERSLEEVE.

Although this survey is local, we o 1 ' consider it highly important, as from its""' usefulness other s:aas may profit by the ti, example about 10 be set them.

"My duty will require me to visit every own ui the state; nr.d my wish is to visit very principal farn^.in every town, the lanogement of which proinisses to afford seful information. In determining what articular farms to visit, it is obvious that I lust necessarily be directed by the advice r suggestions of others, which 1 shall nU ays be most happy to receive: but in order ) avoid all invidiousness, I beg leave to tatc distinctly in the outset, that unless - it " . J! reventea uy exiraoruinary circuinsiuuocs, will visit every farmer who will do me the indnes to invite me to his premises; and have perfect confidence finding in often mes as credible and instructive manage, lent among those who pursue agriculture pon an extensive scale. I therefore solicit ;ch invitations, and will gladly avail myself T them. ~ I purpose to mnke the survey by'fcounes, and am anxious to prosecute it with all >nvenient despatch. 1 beg the farmers to horn this circular is sent, to giv# ft an' tentive and repeated examination. The Djects of the survey are most important to e farming interest. I go to seek informa311 from practical men; and shall be happy * communicate all I receive.

Extract of a Letter to the Southern Aricalturist, I have succeeded in raising and keeping irougli the winter as fine Irish potatoes as ever saw in the northern States. And I jive come to the conclusion that no man i the Southern States need spend a single liar in the purchase of northern potatoes; rmnt occasionally for seed. For even hen they are most successfully produced, is found best to exchange seed every two r three years. The potato requires a moist, cool, loose ail. The common practice in the south, i to plant in ridges; and we take no care to rotect the plant from our scorching sun.? 'he consequence is th?if in hot dry weather, le plant is wilted, and cannot therefore roperly perform its office, in p eparing tlic tatter to be deposited in the tubers below le soil. The consequence of this is, that * i summer, we eat imperfect or diseased otatoes; and we fail to keep them in wiuter ir the very same reason that we would fail i keeping an imperfect or diseased apple, r ear ofcorn. I have attempted to avoid these ronse. uences. Ridges are necessary in Engmd and Ireland, (both moist climates,) for le purpose of drainage. Our climate be. lg hot and dry requires the opposite prnccc. I plant m trenches 12 or 18 inches ecp according to the soil; and put stable ?> liA'tnm. on whirh tho r>nfn. lUUUiC U1 liiv fc/vri ?v...F w. --- ? )cs are placed. The trenches are then lied with leaves, s'raw, and shucks, and iest|covercd lightly with earth, taking care > leave the ground higher between the )\vs. When the potatoes are 6. or 8 incites igh, the whole surface of the ground is a re fully covered with leaves; leaving of Durse the tops of the stalks out. In this 'ay, no heat of the summer wilts the leaves, "hey continue fresh and green. Blossoms re produced in profusion, followed by seed hich comes to full maturity. The tubojs re large, dry, and of fine flavor; and being ug after the vines are completely dead, about the Middle of August) are kept with, ut trouble all winter either in barrelss or . .L.. _it?. a?. \f.. prcad oui in irjc cuiiai iiia/ii i?ij uiai ttcmpt gave me a produce at the rate of pwards of 300 bushels to the acre: and ow the last of Feburary. I sec no difference eiween thern and the best northern pota3cs when brought upon the table. Very respectfully. James Camak. Athens Ga. Feb. 27, 1837. GRUBBING MACHINE. Travelling lately on the bauks of Con. ecticut river, in the vicinity of Hanover, observed hundreds?and I believe thouands of rods, of strong substantial and duable fence made of white pir.c stumps exrrc:ed from the ground with their roots.? /urosiry led mc to inquire by what power Jid machinery, the operation of extracting /as performed.
