From the Savannah Georgian, 2d inat.
In the month of February last, a corres
pondent of the Charleston Courier express
ed a wisfy to inquire through that medium,
of the “Agriculturists” of this State and
South Carolina, as to the following facts:
1. When Cotton Seed was first introduc
ed into this Country?
2. By whom?
3. VVjth what intent—whether as an ex
periment ."if pleasure, or with a view of
introducing as an article of uu>r
diandize.
For the fullest and best authenticated
treaties on the subject, which shall have
been forwarded before (fie first inst. medals
of two grades, were promised to be award
ed, of the value of $2O and of $lO respec
tively, to be decided by three competent
judges.
In consequence of this publication, a
request was made of Mr. Spalding by se
veral respectable planters,that he would fur
nish answers to these queries; accordingly, ■
tiiis gentlemen, so often and so justly char
acterized as an “intelligent, patriotic and
valuable citizen,” has furnished, as well
this paper as the Courier, with a copy of
the following communication. An article,
in fine, of which it is only necessary to
ui mention the name of its author, and the
nature of its snbject-n itler to render it
_ bccepiable to every agricultural friend.
TO THE EDITORS OF THE GEORGIAN.
Gentlemen: —There was some months
* past, a notification in your paper, (copied
► liom the Charleston Courier,) requesting a
communication upon the subject of the in
troduction of cotton into Georgia and Car
olina.
I has been intimated to me, that possi
iiis notification has originated in some
esirous for correct information , in
that it might enter into some more

i, IK'
The Revolutionary War that closed in
, 1733, had been a war, not less of opinion,
and of feeling, than of interest, and had torn
asunder many of tite relations of life, whe
ther of blood or of friendship. England
•j offered to the unhappy st fliers of this coon
!* try, who had followed her standard, a home
[j but in two of her provinces. To the
provincials of the north, she offered Nova
,i Scotia. To the provincials of the south
- n she offered the Bahama Islands. Many of
11 the former inhabitants of the Carolines, and
, Georgia, passed over from Florida to the
Bahamas with their slaves, but what could
e they cultivate.
• The rocky and arid land of those Isl
ands, could not grow sugar cane. Coffee
“ would grow but produced-no fruit. There
e was one plant that would grow, and that
- bore abundantly, it was Cotton. The
1 seed, as I have been informed by respecta
r ble gentlemen from the Bahamas was in
. the first instance procured, from a small
island in the West Indies, celebrated for
its Cotton, called Anguilla. It was there
fore, long after its introduction into this
country, called Anguilla seed.
Cotton, as I have already stated, had
taken a new value, by the introduction of
| the spinning jenny into England. The
quality of the Bahama Cotton was then
considered among the best grown—new
life, and hope were imparted to a colony
and a people, with whom even hope itself
had been almost extinct.—-This first suc
cess, as is natural to the human mind, un
der whatsoever influence it n»3V act, recall
ed the memory of the friends they had .'eft
behind them. The winter of ’’Sfi brought
several parcels of cotton seed, from the (
' Bahamas to Georgia. Among them (in
distinct remembrance upon my mind,) was
a parcel to the late Governor Tattnall of j
Georgia, from a near relation of his, then j
Surveyor General of the Bahamas; and j
another parcel at the same time was trans- (
mitted by Col. Roger Kelsal, of Exuma, |
' who was among the first, if not the very (
jirSi successful grower of cotton, to my fa- ,
liter Mr. James Spalding, then residing on ,
St. Simons 7 Island, Georgia who had been |
connected in business with Col. Kelsall, ,
before the Revolution. I have heard that '
Gov. Tattnall, then a young man, gave his j
seed to Mr. Nichol Turnbull, lately deceas j
ed, who cultivated it from that period sue- (
cessfully. I
I know my father planted bis cotton seed, .
in the spring of 1787, upon the banks of a |
small rice field, on St. Simons’ Island. The ,
land was riclt and warm; the cotton grew ,
large, and blossomed, but did not lipen
its fruit. It however, ratooned or grew (
from the roots, the following year. r I he |
difficulty was now over. The cotton adapt
ed itself to the climate, and every succes- j
sive year from 1787, saw the long staple (
cotton extending itself along the shores of |
Georgia and into South Carolina, where ,
an enlightened population, engaged in the |
cultivation of Indigo, readily adopted it
All the varieties of the long staple, or a*
least the germ of those varieties, came from ,
that seed.
Differences of soil develope them, and ,
differences of local situations, are develop- ;
ing them every day.
The same cotton seed, planted on one
field will give quite a black and naked
seed; while the same seed planted upon
another field, different in soil and situation,
will be prone to run into large cotton, with
long bolls or pods, and with seed tufted at
1 the ends with fuzz
I should have great doubts if there is any
real difference in these apparent varieties
, of the long staple cotton. But if there is,
, all who observe must know, that plants,
when they have once intermingled their
, varieties, will require attention for a long
series of years to disentangle them.
Subsequently to 1787 as the cultivation
1 of cotton extended and became profitable;
1 every variety of the cotton that could be
gleaned from the four quarters of the world
1 have been tried, but none of them but the
' one, has resulted in any thing useful.
1 Mr. James Hamilton who formerly resid
1 ed in Charleston, and who now resides in
1 Philadelphia, was indefatigable in procur
ing seed which he transmitted to his friend
Mr. Coupcr, of St. Simons.
, Mr. Couper planted some acres, of Bour
, bon Cotton; it grew and blossomed, but
f did not ripen its fruit, and perished in the
winter.
Mr. Hamilton sent a cotton plant from
• Siam, it grew large, was of a rich purple
, colour, both in foliage and blossom, but
f perished also, without ripening its fruit.
• The Nankin Cotton was introduced at
- an early period, the same that Mr. Secreta
r r y Crawford distributed the seed of some
s years back. It was abundant in produce;
e the seed fuzzy and the wool of a dirty yel
s low colour, which would not bring even
1 the price of the other short staple cotton.
- But I knew it to produce three hundred
h weight to the acre, on Jekly Island, in
It Georgia. The kidney seed cotton, that
it produces the seed all clustered together
jv with a long strong staple extending from
, one side of the seeds, (and whtch 1 believe
, o be the Brizilian or Pernambuco cotton,)
. was tried, and was the only new spec.es
’ upon which there could have been any
hesitancy, but this too was g.ven up be

THOMAS SPALDING,
Sapelo Island, April, 1828.
From the London John Bull.
LETTER FROM MRS. RAMSBOTTOM.
Cheltenham, April 11, 1820.
My Dear Bull —l have been prevented
writing you of late; two of my youngesi
daughters-have had the mizzles, which ha:
been succeeded by a cough and considera
ble expactation, but 1 have changed my
doctor, and shall do uncommon well now.
The last person, who fancies himself, a se
cond Hippocrite, had the impotence to say
my girls had a low fever—girls brought up
as they have been, like duchesses—so I
said nothing; but when he called again, I
was denied to him and sent to his arrival;
and we are all going on well, and keep up
spirits accordingly.
A regiment is, I believe, the best thing
after all; for I have just discovered that
Shakspeare, the mortal bird,as ray son calls
him, died of indigestion, which 1 did not
know till my new doctor told me so; he
said that poor Shakspeare was quite de
stroyed by common tato’s, which must be
some coarse sort of the root in use in his
time; and the doctor also told me, that he
was attended by a doctor Johnson and a
Mr. Stevens; but I thought to myself, too
many cooks spoil the broth; and even my
medical said he thought he would have
done better if they had left him alone ■—
What made us talk of the great swain of
Avon was my saying I thought She Stoops
to Conquer a very droll play.
My has bought a beautiful
picture, a undoubted; it is as black
as your hat, arto sfjines like a tea-tray, and
is considered, as indeed it is, what the
French call a shade over of w hat great mas
ter; he has also bought a jeEJ of considera
ble valew; he says it is an antic o,f a dan
cing fawn, but it looks, to me like A man
with a tale, a jumping. He has got sever
al very curious thing at shops here; but
he goes poking his nose into all the oles
and corners for curiosities, and sometimes,
gels into sad scrapes; he is a French Moun
sheer, you recollect; and at one of the sails
be scraped acquaintance with a young
dandy-looking man with dark musquitus on
his lips, which we had seen every morning
a dringing the waters regularly, and so we
let him walk and talk with us; and at last
we was told that he was no better than he
should be, and had been convicted of pur
gery, which I did not think so great a
crime, considering where he was; however,
he is gone away, which I am glad of.
I told you my son-in-law was a French
Mounsheer, but I did know till the other
day that he was in the army, for he has
been so sly as never to mention it: but 1
saw one of his letters from bis elder bro
ther, and in the direction he called him a
Cadet, which after all is no very high rank
you know. I should, however, have very
much liked to have seen the boys from the
Military Assy turn ma.ch to the Surry The
atre; it must have been a beautiful site; I
suppose they got leave thro’ Egerton Gen
eral’s office-
Have you read Lord Normandy’s Yes or
No, or Mr. Liston’s Herbert Lacy ?—l
should think it must be very droll, he is
such a droll creature himself; and pray tell
if you have heard any news front Portingal
of the Don. Maj. Macpherson calls him
Don M’Gill, and Captain O’Doherty calls
him Don My jewel!— how do you pro
nounce it? lam told that Lord Doodley
used to call him, while he was in London,
My gull.
There is not much stirring here: the
good effect of the waters is quite aperient
in our family; we are all mending, and
exercise ourselves for four hours at a time
on what is called the well walk, which is a
different place from the sick walk, which is
entirely for the hiphaleeds. Lavinia has
got hold of a book call Bookurchy,contain
ing the lives of a hundred Knights she says:
but she won’t show it to her sisters, as she
is not yet married; it is translated out of a
foren tongue by a Mr. D. Cameron: all the
Scotch is very clever.
Mr. Fulmer is going to Ilauksvut next
term to be made a Doctor of laws. He
says he shall be away only two days, bui
I doubt its being over so soon, because he
told me himself it must be done by degrees.
After be is made a Doctor he says he means
to practise; but I told him I thought he had
better practice first, in order to understand
what he has to do afterwards.—A friend of
Ins came here to see him from Hauksvut
College, who I thought was a clergyman by
his dress; but I found out by what Mr. Ful
mer told me that it was a lady in disguise,
for he said she was Margaret Proffessor,
and he even went so far as to call her a Divi
nity, which' to me did seem uncommon
strange. However, there is no understand
ing these scholars: for it is not more than a
, fortnight since, that Fulmer told me he
expected a brazen nosed man to dinner,
and when the gentleman came his nose was
just like other people’s: so 1 supposed it
was to surprise Lavinia, who was reading
I a work on Nosology at the very lime.
, You will be pleased to hear that I *iave
let my house in Montague Place, unfur
nished with conveniences, for three hun
• dred and twenty pounds a-year, besides
taxes: and 1 have skewered a very met
j residence in the Regent’s Park, within ten
3- doors of the Call and-see-um, where thi
portrait of St. Paul is to be exhibited, anc
where I hope you will visit us; my twc
youngest, which is a shooten up, is uncom
mon anxious to know you, now they havt
made their debutt into saucyity. The young
one is a feline cretue as ever trod shoe lea
ther. The other is more of an orty crac
tar, with very high spirits. They are in.
, deed quite Theligr and Molpomona of the
. Rannsbottoms.
