M. JONES, M. D. IJ !** Board of PAtjtjcian* of the Stateof Georgia. From the Florida (St. Augustine) Herald. The annoxed observations upon the culture of the cane, have been made by a French gen tleman of considerable planting experience in the West Indies and in Florida, and they em brace some interesting particularsi»if ho can be charged with any error, we think it is in under rating the advantages and overrating the disad vantages attending the cultivation of sugar in Florida: for instance ho estimates the common produce of an acre to be twelve hundred pounds, whereas at Tomoka, we are credibly informed, that four hogsheads are expected. Wo jhink it probable that the real produce will be between these estimates, but the fact will soon be ascertained. Another advantage, which seems to bo overlooked, is that which we have over the West India planter, in the duty on the importation of this article; and the comparative cheapness and facility with which we can erect our buildings and apparatus. Wo hope soon to present a detailed statement of the actual expenses of these to tho public. A- nother advantage, which our observer com plaints of as a nuisance, is this, that the press ed cane or bagadro may be applied as manure. The disadvantages of which ho speaks as resulting from storms in the fall and from frost in tho winter, are certainly of very partial and rare oc6irrcnce, more especially to the south of St. Augustine; and the inexperience of thoso who have hitherto been engaged in the culture, although it has rotarded the interest of the parties concerned,' yet it is an evil which is gradually correcting itself, and must; give way to the enterprise of our planters. Our intelligent observer, we trust, will excuse these remarks, and we thank him for tho opportunity, he has afforded us of laying his observation's before tho public on a culture of such great and increasing interest. CULTURE of SUGAR CANE and its PRODUCT. An nere of good land cultivated in cane with the requisite care, ought to yield commonly 12(J01bs of Sugar at $8 It yields also in addition a barrel and one- fifth of Syrup $96 00 18 00 $114 00 $342 00 A negro, besides attending to provisions and forage, ought to cultivate three a- cres of cane, at $114, Forty negroes, according to the same pro. portion, ought to cultivate one hundred and twenty acres, which, at the rate of $342 per head, would be $13,680 00 From this production, we must deduct a fourth for expenses and wear and tear 3,429 00 might be nevertheless advantageous, if.there were sufficient chaff to manure tho half of the culture. ‘ . Sugar cane may bo planted in January, Feb ruary or even in March, it vegetates and rises from tho ground at the' beginning of the Spring, languishes in May aud June during the dry season, begins to be vigorous in July, and in the space of 3 months only, favoured by rain and heat it rises thickens and at the end of October is in ctmdition to be cut and .ground with advantage. T^ie precaution Is necessary of pulling down the cane and placing it in co vert rows before the severe frosts, This cul ture offers certainly great advantages, but which are not without their inconveniences. ’ The first of these ago storms or gales of wind in September and part of October, for at that epoch the cane receives their assaults be fore having acquired its entire maturity, and thus thrown down it deteriorates promptly by tho vegetation which it has not entirely lost, by the humidity of tho soil on which it lies, and by the confusion and deficiency of air winch makes them stagnate, and in this condition they can give only a middling quantity of bitter syrup* Tho second inconvenience is the influence of winter which although very temperate, is nevertheless intermixed with days, and above all by night very cold, accompanied with frost which makes it necessary to make the sugar in the time of somewhat over four months, in the only time when it is possible to take advantage of the cane, and the most vigorous of tho ye;ir, and the least favourable to the labour of cul ture, as well from the shortness of tho day as from intemperance of the season. Tho third inconvenience is the defective supply of manu'-o which this country affords, and finally the inexperience of those which are superintending a culture which presents many obstacles from the necessity of the operations and tho novelty of tho labour.

I assume, in these calculations, the houses to bo already established; for the formation of a property of this kind leads to great expense. The workmanship, however, If well attended to, docs not require renovation in mass, but of ten nevertheless may be estimated at about thirty thousand. "* Connected with this calculation, it would be necessary to have good land, and a resident o verseor who has been used to the cultivation and is-a good economist; for such an overseer would commonly produce moro with twenty- five negroes nnd with ordinary land than ano ther with fifty vigorous negroes and the best soil: This difference, which is observed eve ry where between the result of good and bad management, is much more sensible and consi derable. here than elsewhere; in the nature of the culture, the nature of the negroes (who can' not be lost sight’of for a moment Without tho work being stopped, retarded or.badly done) and finally in the imperious disposition of ^the soil and climate. ■ Allowance being, made for different obsta cles,'which are encountered in the course of the grinding seasons, which commence at the end of October, and ought to last till the end of February; otic may count upon more than forty-five days of grinding season, in which the quantity of three thousand pounds in twenty- four hours, which-is wlmt can bo realized, with the'proportional molasses,. &c. 250,000lbs of sugar.’’ It must not bo forgotten, that'besides the land necessary for cultivating the sugar, there must be added that which is nocossary for pro visions nnd -forage; for, at tho 'time of the grinding season, tho animals must bo*fcd chief ly at the hand; and one may calculate here as nothing, the assistance from the pressed cane, for it decomposes mid putrifics in a little time, owing to tho watery particles which it still con- •ins, and winch the cold and frequently, humid >Kinley. climate hinders from disengaging itself freely; and which, on the contrary, is only an em barrassment to the planter who: is obliged to make it in heaps at a distanco from his build ings. One must also add to tho work already montioUcd, tho necessary firewood, winch can not be fixed at less than three hundred cords for a grinding soason of one hundred thousand pounds of sugar. This wood must bc-placcd cut and piled’ near the furnace; to be conveni ently employed for fuel. , .During tho six months from the bcgitlning of October to tho end of March, the sugar planter is commanded by his work which pres ses on him with force and rapidity; so much that the crop of provision and forage, the dif ferent operations which the grinding season imperiously prescribes, the preparation -of the land which occasions tho different cultures at convenient seasons. -The other six months he commands for other work, such as repairing in closures, digging and repairing drains and weed ing, which demand great attention. The nature of the soil and climate does not admit of cultivating the cane after it is 3 years old and to pass from this to a further ratoon of which the product itself is very iudiiTvr.ut, it MEMBERS Of the Second Session of the Nineteenth Con gress.
