AGRICULTURAL.
Anew and successful mode on guarding
peach trees from the worm
To the Editor of the Farmers’ Register.
Fincastle, Va., Feb. 2~th, 1841.
Although my name is not on the list of
your subscribers, I have had the satis,
faction of reading some of the valuable arti
cles which appear in your journal.—
Though unacquainted with you personally,
as I feel some interest in your periodical, 1
will take the liberty of introducing myself,
by giving a brief sketch of an experiment
I have made, w ith success, on the peach
tree ; and if you deem it of any importance
or worthy of the notice of your readers, you
can give publicity to it.
As 1 consider the peach the most deli
ciousfruit of our latitude, I have long since
thought it a desideratum that it should be
made independent of the destructive worm
which kills the tree. I thought it practica
ble ; and it occurred to me that there was
in reach an antidote for the enemy to that
luxurious growth. Having observed, in
the practice of medicine, that the cedar ber
ry was a powerful vermifuge, I transplan
ted cedar scions and peach scions together
six years since, in the following manner : I
set one of each in a hole, with the roots
entangled and _ct close together, believing
that the strong odor peculiar to the cedar
would prove offensive and sickening to the
worm and thereby prevent its approach to
the peach tree. Every circumstance
seemed to conspire in favorofthe experi
ment; there was no danger of the peach
tree being choked by the cedar, because
the former is a rapid, whilst the latter is of
very slow growth. The peach scions bore
the second year, and have put forth their
leaves as black as a cloud every season,
and bore most luxuriantly every season,
until the last, which was the sixth year.—
1 have set out a number since, in the same
way, which are all flourishing. I think
a soil should be selected much mixed with
sand, in order to prove successful.

THE COTTON GIN.
AMERICAN INVENTION.
An article in a late number of Hunt’s
Merchants’ Magazine, gives a brief history
of the Cotton Plant and of its rapidly ex
tended cultivation in the United States.
The State of Georgia, it appears, was the
first in the Union to begin the cultivation
of cotton. The plant itself was indigenous
to this continent, and cotton fabrics were
worn very generally by the Mexicans at
the time of the invasion of that country by
Cortes. But the culture of cotton did hot
become general in any of the North Amer
ican Colonies while they remained subject
to Grcat-Britain. The first exportation of
the article took place in 1784, eight bags
having been sent to London. This small
lot was seized by the British Custom-house
officers, under the belief that cotton was
not a product of the United States.
The inventions of Arkwright, Watt and
others, by which machinery and steam
power were applied to the manufacture of
cotton, caused anew impulse to be given to
the cultivation of the plant. But the inven
tion of the cotton gin by Whitney, in this
country, constitutes perhaps the most im
portant era in the history of this useful com
modity. Before that event, the process of
disengaging the seed from the fibre was al
together by hand, and of course very tedi
ous. The planter was limited in the quan
tity of his crops by the necessity he was
under of raising no more than he could pre
pare for market by the slow operation of
picking out the seeds, one at a time.
When Whitney had constructed his first
cotton gin, great excitement was produced
among the planters so soon as a knowledge
of the fact got abroad. The building in
which he had secluded his machine to keep
it secret until he could procure a patent,
was broken open by the people of the neigh
borhood, and the plan of the invention as
certained. It was in Georgia that this first
model was made, and very soon machines
copied from it were in operation throughout
the State. Whitney resorted to litigation
to recover his just rights; but he found it
very difficult to prove that his machine had
ever been used in Georgia, although the
clatter of several of them could be heard
in the court-house where the suit was pen
ding.
Those of our readers who listened to a
very interesting lecture by J. H. B. La
trobe, Esq. before one of our city Associa
tions some weeks ago, on “The inventive
genius of the Americans,” will recollect
the contrast he drew between the cases of
Arkwright and Whitney, in connection
with their inventions for the improvement of
the cotton manufacture. When Arkwright
set his spinning frame in operation, the
populace broke into his establishment to
destroy it. They wished to prevent its in
troduction and use, under the idea that it
would throw manual operatives under the
old system, out of employment. In Whit
ney’s case, similar violence occurred—but
the object of it was not to destroy, but to
multiply, and perpetuate the happy inven
tion which promised to substitute the labor
of machinery for the labor of human hands.
The contrast here indicated was used to
illustrate as it docs in a very striking man
ner, the principal cause which lias opera
ted to quicken the inventive genius of our
countrymen so remarkably in the mechanic
arts. It is now, and it has been from the
first days of the colonial settlements, an
important object in this country to find sub
stitutes in machinery for manual labor ;
hence the qualities of quick perception,
close observation, ready dexterity, and all
the inventive and applying faculties of the
mind have been nurtured, stimulated and
strengthened, to devise ways and means for
all sorts of contrivances. In England, on
the other hand, ihe laboring class is so nu
merous and so dependent on employment,
the prices of labor being of course but mod
erate, that there has been the less induce
ment, the less necessitous urgency for new
inventions to supersede manual labor.—
The prejudices of a large portion of the
community also who were wedded to old
usages and modes, as well as the decided
hostility of the laboring people themselves,
tended to discourage such improvements in
the mechanic arts, as would bring great
changes and temporary distress.
The causes which have rendered an in
ventive genius the characteristic of the A
merican people, will no doubt continue in
action for many generations.

PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION
A FULL REPORT OF THE
GEOLOGICAL & AGRICULTURAL
SURVEY OF TIIF
STATE ®!F ©E©K©QA a
THE Legislature, at their last session, deem
ed it expedient to discontinue the salary of
tiie State Geologist, in consequence of the em
barrassed finances of tiie State. By this unex
pected movement, tiie subscriber is deprived of
the means of completing tiie survey of Hie State,
on the original plan: ii done at all, it must be
at individual risk and expense.
It is needless, perhaps, to represent to the en
lightened citizens of Georgia, that by following
out ihe plan so happily commenced in 1837, and
pursued with unremitting energy to the present,
tiie State has been contributing her mite, hum
ble as it may be on tiie part of her agent, to the
cause of general science in our country’, and tiie
advancement of intellectual improvement among
her citizens, in accordance with other States of
the Union. There is but one alternative. In the
present situation of the survey, tiie work must
either he abandoned and the important informa
tion obtained by lour years investigation of the
Geology’ of the State, lost to her citizens, or Hie
subscriber must depend for support, on individ
ual patronage. He is determined to make an ef
fort for the benefit and honor of his adopted State,
to proceed with the survey’. From former ex
perience of the unbounded liberality and gene
rous hospitality of his fellow citizens, in differ
ent parts of the State, he is confident that, in
making an appeal to their sympathy and patron
age, it will not be made in vain.
That a complete survey may be made of tiie re
maining counties of the State, and the whole
consolidated and published for the information
and benefit of the citizens, public patronage is
most respectfully solicited. A work of this kind,
is much needed in Georgia, a State comprising
an area of sixty thousand square miles, being
destitute of a single correct Map, Geography, or
history of ihs same. A majority of the citizens
must, from necessity, b? unacquainted with the
rich mineral resources and agrieu! 1 oral capaci
ties of the different sections. Favored as the
subscriber has been, by four y’ears labor, as
State Geologist, in different parts of the State,
in collecting materials for a complete report of
an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na
tural History, lie trusts tliat lie shall be able to
meet the approbation of his fellow citizens.
The subscriber pledges his honor, that the
proceeds arising from subscription for the work
shall be appropriated to the completion of the
survey of the remainiug counties of the State,
and that they shall be finished as they will be
needed for publication.

ABBEVILLE
MINERAL SPRINGS.
THIS ESTABLISHMENT is
now in complete order tor the reccp-
SiiißP 0,1 °* visitors, and is extensively
provided with every accommodation
in..i ......ori which persons in search of health or
recreation, can desire. Mr. and Mrs. Lawhow,
who arc charged with its superintendence, are
eminently qualified to give satisfaction, and the
Directors can promise that as good a Table and
as clean and commodious Rooms will be furnish
ed, as arc tobe had at any watering place in the
United States. These SPRINGS are situated
in a healthy and romantic region in the North-
Western corner of Abbeville District, near the
Anderson line, and the place is as perfectly ex
empted from autumnal fevers as any place in our
Mountains. The waters are confidently believ
ed to be equal to any in the United States, in all
cases of chronic disease of the liver and other
glands, and of chronic inflammation in any part
of the system; in cases of dyspepsia and sick
head-ache they have been singularly efficacious,
having invariably given relief whenever ade
quately tried. In these cases they tnay bo al
most considered a specific, as well as in diseases
of the skin and urinary organs. A HACK will
be regularly run during the Season from Abbe
ville C. 11, which is 24 miles distant, to carry
passengers coming to that place in the Stage.
BY TIIE DIRECTORS.
I hereby certify from personal observation,
that the water of the Abbeville Mineral Springs
is singularly serviceable in all cases of chronic
inflammation and glandular obstructions. It
does not appear to possess any highly stimulating
or direct tonic properties, but imparts tone to the
whole system indirectly by its wonderful effect
in wearing out inflammation, and in correcting
the secretions of all the glands of the body. A
tew Summers ago, I sent a patient to the Springs
laboring under chronic gastretis, which 1 found
very difficult to treat to advantage, and to my sur
prise the case was speedily cured by the use of
the water alone. Subsequently to the above
case, I sent another patient to the Springs who
was reduced very low by uterine obstruction and
chronic inflammation, with a pulse up to about
120 beats in a minute; she was soon entirely
restored to health, by a light diet and the use oi
the water without any Medicine whatever.
A. B. ARNOLD, M. D.
Lowndsville, S. C, April 3d, 1841.
I hereby certify from personal experience, that
the Abbeville Mineral Springs Waters are ex
cellent for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaints. 1
was taken there in the last stages of Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, when given out of all hopes
of living, both by my relations and several Physi
cians who had attended me; I stayed at the
Springs six - or seven weeks each year for three
years, and now I am able to attend to the most ol
my domestic affairs. I consider the Abbeville
Mineral Springs preferable to any of the East
Tennessee Waters, for I had tried them well pre
vious to attending the above said Springs.
