cotton sprung tip and grew more vigoronslv
for a few weeks than I have ever seen it do in
this country When the Monsoon had become
well established and the earth saturated with
water, our cotton crop had been scraped to a
stand and had attained a height of about twelve
itches. Thus it remained until the termination
»f the rains, when it made a feeble struggle for
existence, hut perished in a few weeks without
having thorovghly matured a single boll. A few
bolls, however, partially opened during the
death agony, and from the three hundred acres
planted we gathered five hundred pounds of
-Seed Cotton. I am not guessing the quantity,
for it was qorrectly weighed.

zerat from the American plant.' During our res
idence of seventeen months in Indiawere in
regular correspondence with the parties sen^to

r ^ HR OhIGIN nr THE ISABELLA GHAPR.
General J. G. SwiFT, of Geneva, New York, in
a letter to the National Intelligencer, givea the
following account of the Isabella grape:
“It originated at Goose Creek, near Charles
ton, South Carolina, and is a hybrid of Ihe na
tive fox and the Burgundy of the Huguenots.
Gov. B. Smith, of North Carolina, brought the
grape vine to Smitbville in 1809, and Mrs. Gibbs
took a.culling from. Governor Smith’s garden
to Brooklyn Heights In 1817. In 1819 I por
chased the Gibbs place, on Brooklyn Heights,
of George Gibbs. Esq, who came from Bladen
county. North Carolina; Col. George Gibbs
was from Newport, Rhode Island. In 1820.
j from the first welLgrown vine in my garden, I
gave cuttings to William Prince? of Flashing,
who in compliment to Mrs. Swift, proposed to
name the grape “Louisa/ Mrs Swift objected,
saving Mrs. Gibb’s Isabella' was the more en
titled to the name ; and thus * the name. Mr.
Seaton may remember that in 1821 gave him
and Mr. Calhoun, Secretary of War, plants of
the Isabella. As to the hyhird character of the
plant, the two faces of the leaf show the upper
to be Burgundy and the lower fox. •
“The Catawho is a more delicate plant than
the Isabella, and a more shy bearer. It may
be judicious to cultivate the Isabella by grafting
until its pulp, now leathery, may become solu
ble, and thus yield a- drier wine than it now
makes/*.
[We well remember the incident of 1822, re
ferred to by our friend Gen. Swift. Mr. Cal
houn, who was our near neighbor during the
eight years of his Secretaryship, plantedJiis
wine cutting in a large bed of compost in his
garden, which gave it a vigor of growth that in
• he cuiseof two years covered an incredible
space of ground ; and from that plant, we be
lieve, all tfie countless vines of the Isabella grape
in this city originally sprung —Edits. Nat. In
