agrtmltirai From the Montgomery (Ain.) Journal. Mobile, Jan. 1842. In my letters two years ago, I urged up on the Planters of Alabama, with the zeal j and little ability I possessed, the importance j of at once embarking in other enterprizes j than the culture of Cotton. 1 then pressed j upon their attention the various causes in progress which would ultimately oi/ige ! them to resort to other channels for invest- J ment of their surplus capital, or the applica- j tion of a largo portion of their physical force I to the production of some other article of j export beside Cotton. I alluded to the I growing competition in Egypt, South A- j mcrica, TVsns and India, and- particularly : the latter. I then said, ••Tn British India, | great efforts arc making to extend the cul tivation of Cotton, in which they are en couraged and aided by the government of Great Brimin.” “If England can suc ceed, by ny means whatever in inducing her colonies to produce a sufficiency, and j of the quality required of the same material | to supply her own spinners and manufactu rers, she will at once exclude, by a high \ duty, or otherwise, American Cotton.” It j will be recollected that about that time, 1 twelve Americans were employed in Mis- j sissippi by the East India Company, to go ! to India, with gins, Arc., with the view of | introducing our system of picking and J cleansing. It is true, one of the gentlemen ! employed very soon returned, and reported ; against the success of the project. When \ it is known that this person did not remain long enough in India to enable him to judge j correctly, and that through the influence of j the climate he was sick much of the time while there, his expressed opinion should j not be entitled to full confidence, in the face of facts since developed. Late accounts ; from there are of a character that fully j prove the complete success of the experi- { ment, and 1 hear an increase in the amount ; produced, and improvement in the quality, j that is really startling to the American i Planter, when we take into view the extent of competition that may be confidently an- j ticipated from that quarter. India possess- j cs not only the same advantages’ of climate - that we do, but labor being at about 4 to (> ‘ cents per day, she can produce it ata much * lower price. The receipts of Cotton in England from India, prior to 1840, was for several years, from 150 to 5f10,000 bales per annum—in ] 1840, 230,000 bales, and up to 18th No- j vember last, since Ist of January, 475,000 bales, and 100,000 bales more were ex- i peeled at Liverpool before the Ist of Janu- I ary next; indeed, letters had noon received i of the shipment of 50,000 bales. I have ! been shown a letter from a highly respect- j able House in Liverpool, received by the | Acadia, saying that India Cotton can be laid ‘■ down in that market at the low price of 5d per pound. Assuming that the receipt j from 18th November last to Ist January • next, reach 100,000 bales, it will give a | total of 575,000 bales, the average weight l of which is about 390 pounds. Intelligent gentlemen of England who j have every facility for forming a correct opinion, estimate the crop of 1841 at 800.- ; 000 bales, or 312,000,000 pounds, which is j more than the entire crop of the United J States in 1827, and more than our total ex ports in any one year prior to 1832 : show- ‘ ing an increase more rapid than at any time in the United States, since its introduc- j tion into the country. These are facts that ought toeonvince our Planters that, within j five years, they must prepare to grow Cot- I ton at four to six cents per pound, or turn j their attention to something else. Thus i far they have not improved the quality in proportion to the extent of quantity, hence i it comes more immediately into competition : with our middling and lower grades, which is doubtless one cause for the decline at Liverpool on all descriptions of American , Cottons except the fine qualities. ‘That ■ they can, and will in time, bring their Cot- ! ton to a higher, standard, we have no rca- I son to doubt. Should any one doubt the ability of India to increase her production j in a ratio proportioned to the one above no- | tieed until it reaches a point sufficient not i only to supply the entire wants of Great I Britain, but of the whole world, let him ex amine the subject fully and impartially ! for himself and he cannot hut admit that; she. possesses all the facilities and materi- j als requisite to such a result. The best \ latitudes for the successful culture of Cot ton, are between 20 and 35 degrees, India lies between 9 and 32 degrees of latitude, its greatest width being between 20 and 28 degrees, averaging about 1,300 miles.— That portion of tire United States where Cotton is cultivated with success, lies be tween 29 and 35 degrees of latitude, and is about 900 miles in width. India has an extent of territory embracing nearly double .the number of square miles adapted to the •gi ‘owth of Cotton, that the United States hats • With this vast extent of Cotton pro- ; duet, ng soil, which is said to he of the rich- j est eh aracter, a population of 120,000,000 of British subjects, the laboring portion of which receive but 4 to 6 cents per day, and tliev are in fact the mere serfs of the East India Company, if a proper impulse is giv en, and obstacles not of a very serious na ture, overcome-, it is hardly possible to form an estimate of the extent to which the cul ture of Cotton itnay be carried within the next 10 years in British India. Can it be doubled, that the East India j Company, stimulated as it is by the hope of. profit, and the countenance and aid of the j British Government, will cease to follow up their successful experiments already made, j until they glut the markets of England, and | tiriv@ ouj all competition. N T t only will it • be the policy of England to sustain and en courage this wealthy and powerful compa ny, hut the moment she can obtain her sup plies from her own dominions, that moment j will she place a duty on our cotton that w ill almost entirely exclude it from her mark ets. Although she has always preached \ up a different doctrine, she has invariably j adopted the policy of protecting her own ‘ productions, and indeed it is to such a course of policy that she is indebted for her great ness, her wealth, and her power. On this j question, a party both numerous and pow i crful, under the influence of a morbid, fa natical philanthropy,will urge her forward, ! even to great sacrifices if necessary, with j the hope of destroying the peculiar institu- I I ticins of out Southern States, by rendering j j the products of slave labor as near value- ‘ j loss as possible. V correspondent of one i ; English paper says, in speaking of India, i j “ Her boundless fields might bo covered j . with cotton—the fertile plains of Assam I I with tea—her rich tracts with sugar cane— i her Infer grotjnds with rice, and thus go I on, covering her land with plenty, while ’ sho would in return take our manufactures j to clothe her 12ft,000,Otlft, to an extent j | which we can hardly appreciate. He far ther says, that, owing to the amount of A merican Cotton taken by Great Britain — “that detestable compound of vice and wickedness, American slavery, has become firmly entrenched behind her cotton bags ; and we and we alone, can remove it. Ma ny of the English Journals are enthusiastic upon the subject of the result of the experi ments in India, and boastfully congratulate the country that the time is at band when they will bo independent of the United I States for this great staple. Is it not time then for our planters to take warning, and prepare themselves for the worst. Should they not encourage a gradual increase for j demand at home, for they may rely upon it, it will he the only market within ten years that will be of any value to them. If our G overnment in its wisdom would adopt such a course of policy as would induce the Gov ernments of Europe to open their ports for our tobacco upon something like terms of fair reciprocity, then might the Cotton Plan ter at once apply a part of his force to the ! production of that article profitably. Let the plantersof Alabama plant but halfthcir usual quantity of cotton, and apply the oth er half of their force to the production of j something else. By so doing, they “'ill get j quite as much money for what they do ] make, and save in addition the proceeds ! from the labor of the other half. They I should also pay more attention to the quat- I ity and cleanliness of their cotton. The j necessity for which is fully proven by the j relative prices this year. I venture to pre dict, that while the present price for fine ; cotton will he sustained, the lower quali , ties will stilt further decline.

By this unex pected movement, Ihe subscriber is deprived oi the means of completing the survey of the State, on the original plan: u done at ail, it must be at individual risk and expense. It is needless, perhaps, to represent to the en lightened citizens oi Georgia, that by iollowing out the plan so happily commenced m 1837, and pursued with unreuniiuig energy to the present, tne State ha., been cimirTbuoug her mite, hunk uie as it may o’- •• < ‘he oi her agent, to the cause ol general science .u our country, and the advancement oi miei i epi.-temeiiT among her citizens, in accord in with other States oi theUniun.

A work oi this kind, is much needed in Georgia, a State comprising an area of sixty thousand square miles, being destitute of a single correct Map, Urography, or history oi the same. A majority of the citizens must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci ties ot ihe different sections. Favored as the subscriber has been, by lour years labor, as State Geologist, in different parts of the State, in collecting materials for a complete reported an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na tural History, he trusts that he shall be able to meet tiie approbation ol 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 oi the State, and that they shall be finished as they will be needed for publication.
