NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared toy N. W. Seal. M. D. Humous why It should le used Instead of any other treat ment in ul! Febrile affections : I t .—Economy of Time.— As only ane-stemth i.l the ordinary time is required to effect n cure. td.—Rconomy of Money. —As it c t but one dollar. 3rd.—Economy of Feeling.— As it saves the suffering of h long sickness and tho consequent treat ment ; the annoyance of taking nauseating doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, anti the pain of long confinement; bnt little of the fluid being necessary, and that pleasant in Its effects. II It.— Economy of Thoußtot. — As when known, it will remove nil dread aud anxiety at present • xisting, respiting febrile affections; particularly while a deux friend is sick. 3t to.— Economy of Heal t to.—As the system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor is the fever -el)Ject to lie Pillowed hy chronic disease. IK ll. — Economy of Lite. —As the cure iselfc Cted before and without reducing iho patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. Other reasons might be added, hut these are deemed sufficient to satisfy all classes aud persons in ail condi tions of life. The above reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the lirst attack, but will apply with equal force to coses which have been subject i ito or have become reduoed, corresponding of con iso •o the nutnro of the case at the timo it is first admioin tcreti. -Vs this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they hail been really much sick, and very naturally conclude th y were not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trilling -a little cold, which gave alarm—it could iiovo been nothing of cenucqueuce—lt would havs passed off with out anything—that medicine li id imefloct.” The general impression on tho subject of fever is such, tliut thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common case as naturally as mull think at all; and it is unt until the individual lias witnessed many cases that he can fully realise the truth; and even then liu may conclnds thorn all very t. iftiug cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus succosstnl in perhaps hundreds of coses, must expect that there will o.lsos occur Where thoro is some organic or local cause so groat as to require particular attention, or though success ul iu reducing tho IVver, it will again rise as the influence of the “Fluid” passes ell', as the exciting cause may still exist, ll is to guard against disappointment hi such cases that I have given and frequently refer to wliatl have cailod a “synopsis.” Remarks on Fever* In General* On this subject I wish to ho fully understood. Jly the term “fevers,” 1 comprehend nil febrile affections to which the human fiame is subject, Including sninll jinx and other eruptive fevers; but as they arisa by a great variety of causes, and In quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types: yet ull are distinguished by the same general character istics—that O! uflduo excitement iu tlm circulatory and nervous systems—lnducing more or less unnatural fre quency in tho pulse, sense of heat, dryness of the skin, debility, he. To show that 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion T advance, I quote from tho celebrated “ref. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the“l*rinci pies and Practice of Physic” is a text liouk in many of our nr heal colleges, and consequently statu lard authority. On page 834, he says:—“Wo hoar continually, both in and out of the profession, different species of fover spo ken of. Ily the public, Typhus Fever, lJraln Fover, bilious Fover, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Jtc. And systematic writers are to tho full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Oastro-Kiiterlc, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, I am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all Ibis sub-division, is bail and hurtful. It encourages a dispoßitioi already too prevalent, to pro scribe lor u disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can ho relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to tho same causo.” The above is a great fact, ono worthy of remembrance aud I would imprest on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you sell about a “ name;” if yon Lave fover, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be well instead of any distinct character being devel oped, so as to be properly named by the most scientific. Tiiis assertion is no hypothesis based en closet, specula tious or visions of uiiud, but on experience at the bed side of tile sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands oi cases (by utyself aud others; under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates, bear this in mind, and treat at ouco without regard to name, and rest, assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous levers. Hut as cases may huve be come developed before the “Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly as possible tbs proper course to be pursuod in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Rules and “ Synopsis” will tie amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tho sick.

ID observing the t Love directions, the medicine will bo found agreeable in all of its effects, (he expectations of the most saugniuo realized, aud mauv perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, tlnit tile full benefit of tho medicine may bo obtained, ami not on account of auy actual necessity of such strict ob servances. lllllous oi- Hrmlltrnt Fever. Give a toaaponful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) onco in two hours, till the fover is evidently pasting ofl; this constitutes the whole treatment iu all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in the “ Kules.” But should there bo prominent local symp toms, or known local testing causes, they should bs attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any case tho b wds are particularly constipated or confined, give a char tic (no auxiliaries) with the first portion; they inust ho openvd or the fover may rise again.

Congestive Fever. Give two teaspoousful and repeat every two hour* til] the pules becomes more hill aud soft, then only a tea •poonful, to he discontinued ns the fever subsidoi. As tlio bowels are generally confined, and it Is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate In this disease, uo time should be lost to got them open, give some active cathartic with the “ Fluiu” and repeat a muy bo neces sary till it operaP s; enemas (injections) may also bo used to advantage; also, mustard to tho extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or flannel; also, cold applications to tho head.

As these fevers arc all of one character, differing mainly In degree, lining ali of a low grade, the pulse small and wiry, with a general givat,i on , thoro is no practice! use In separating them— at least so far as my treatment is concerned.

V ariola, Varioloid, Uubeoia ami kcaria linn.; or Small Pox, Tai lolold, Jlcaslcs, anil Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases arc attended with lover, which in fact is tbs moat prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Reiaernbur never wait to learn tlio ‘'name,” whether it is one or the other, or wither, as they ali commence with freer, but treat it at onco; govern tlio fever and there will be no trouble; thoro will b but little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is am w idea, und doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small jsix, If treated as I direct, will be. cat short; attended witli hut little erup tion ; little or no pitting, aud that t here is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On lids i will stake not only uiy reputation, but ad that i hold must dear ; besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously qnoted. He says, page 374: “You muy aliute tlio force of tlio eruptive lover, and keep down, It is believed, tho number of the, pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Hereto the admission that it mny be done. I nave not only proven It maybe, but has bem done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See tho account appended. (live a teaspoonful or more, according to. the urgency of tho case, with a doso of salts or castor oil; repeat ttie Fluid once In two hours if necessary, nntil the feversnb lides —though one or two doses is generally sufficient; but it should ho given and repeated sufficiently to keep tlio fever unuer control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, und the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tonguo and faucus wero so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and ho was cured by dropping tho Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till ho could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all affirming symptoms disappeared. Tho swelling of the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in übout twelve hours by tho Fluid alone.— Used to wet tlio throat frequently, it is doubtless tho best yargtc In all such caeca. Puerperal >.’ Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which tlio mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readim-Ss, as to seem to boos little consequence. A single dose or two of a tcospoouful, almost in .arialdy giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm ~ si be entertained, as the Fluid wi,(l arrest it in a short time. It should be re peated as long as the fever continues, as in otticr cases. Tlio bowels of course should i*o attended to. Iu counectiun with tills subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tlio ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform chcm of tho happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing und southing effect deprives tho labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must he tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will bo relieved at once hy a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, urn cold tuk at a delicate time, is easily relieved hy its use; In short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medic! no known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing tlio whole system, removing all excitability and it liability of the nervous os well us tho circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, bat it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; lienee its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tile treat ment as much as possible I give under this head general directions lor all coses. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the condition culled tevor, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho name it may bo or ought to tic called, it should be giv eu wherever ur whenever it exists; yet it cannot Lie ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must he removed in order to effect u permanent euro. When such indications occur in any case, they should lie appropriate means, und these aoltuld bo given while giving the “Fluid,” and iu connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will thou be lost. As the -,Fluid” alone will sub due the fever, f call ull elsuauxiliary treatment. if the bowels are costive, given cathartic (see auxili aries) with the first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate In due time, repeat the doso; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to lio good for that complaint, though if caused hy irritability, the “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; if severe local ;m.iu ur iiitlHiiniiatiiui. uglify some atimulaiiiqr liuiniunt, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations ol'hitter ~erbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet iu cold water, to tlio part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, ov some cooling application, and bathe tlio feet in hot water; if tho fevor is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at au agreeablo temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar ami water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tho medi cine iu takiug effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; if the pationt has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, In absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tho patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tho stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” nud a cathartic if necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlio “Fluid” at the same time a“ directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you caunet realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at the case with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant hy cathartics, Ac,, as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found Bo such necessity when using the Fluid, aud to bo fully understood by all, 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— Cat hart lc*>— Articles that purge or operate on the bow els, such as castor oil, suits, senna, any of the roots or harks, nnd many pills, autihilious, Ac.; anything known to be good tor such purposes. Hepatic*.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation aud secretions generally. Any of tho articles depended on hy the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used in connection with tlio “Fluid” or while the system is under its iu iluencc. And ono may choose calomel—auother, blue mass—the third, podopliyllin—tho fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice ami be suc cessful. Tonic*.—Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone sei or thorougliwort is ono of tho best used in fevers. Astringent*.—Such as check the action of tho ’oowels. Luudiiuuui and other preparations of opium are used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents which have the effect. Stimulant*.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of the best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences aro all more or less stimulating. These are tho only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but tlio Negative Electric Fluid is a bot'or “ dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “ sedative” than known In the materia medica. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on tlio results of a trial, and will’ only refer to one instance of success, that on tlio Pnekctsltip Duchess D'Orlenn*. which cannot lie classed among ordinary certificate*: Wo, the undersigned, certify to the following viz— We took passage ou tlio packeudiip Duchess d’Orleans tapt llutton, tlieu lying iu the port of Havre, France’ and bound for New York.

The great vu) iety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sex. constitution -and habits of the sufferers; but as the cause is tho same, they will ail equally yield to areinedy that is competent to overcome or remove tliut cause. By (lio laws of Nature, every principle bus its opposite, and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All ilalaria, .whether arising from Marshes, stagnant water, decompo sition of annual nnd vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, to the same in character and effect; is a poi son limiting in tho atmosphere, causing disease to all w ho breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there ia in the preparation before us, ottered to the public. Ttoc Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralize* the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : it will instantly chock the ague in persons who have suffered tor any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing it* use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin uing free from the Sotnplalnt for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malnria should make its use again necessary. in its operation upon tho poison in the system, it will immediately relievo all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, and wlieu the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility aud Siight Sweats, which so often follow tlio administration of other nude eines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use F’ever and Ague may be banished from every family aud class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and nil laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Prevent ive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since tho introdfictlbn of the CUKE in every part of tile United States, its success has been so complete nnd unvarying as to have fully proved tlicso assertions in favor of Its extraordinary merit. When these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources cf science had been taxed ill vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what, was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisohou* or destructive drugs, such us Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, &c. The effects of those are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects jre superudded to the poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should bo particularly careful about using uny secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may he taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Wortlxy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessncss, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to evei y bottle : New York, June 11, 1355. “I have made a chemical examination oi Rhodes’F’ever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it. uor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the takiug of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed as tlio one under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance. This is owing to tho diseases being produced by one anl the same cause, and therefore Ll, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in u violent uttack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tho poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or autihilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach and free tlie biliary passages. Remember that where this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must re taken or the operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of ono or more bottles of tlie Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms: for the vapor rising from tlio medicine, aud also tlio air wafted across, or circulated over tlie dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to u degree commensurate itli its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting tho Cure should likewise he resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words, “Rhodes’ F’ever and Aoue Cure’ blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of tho medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. ‘J'heße will be considered sufficient. Prepared and sold by tlie proprietor, JAMES A.

She took in all four bottles which completely re stored her to health and strength, nnd as four months have now elapsed, there is no reason to doubt the perma nency of the cure. C. A. P.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—l have just sent au order to Ames A Halliday for another half gross of your Fever und Ague Cure, ithassold like “ llotCakcs,” anil I have only two bottles on hand. Ono reason it has sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, 1 have sent a buttle and tuld them to try it, aud if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied. I had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but tho man came to see me on the sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 21 Bottle* Perform 24 Cures.

I give it to them at first, •if no cure no pay.’ although I was not authorized hy you to do so; but I took the responsibility on myself.— But not a bottle has come back, aud as I am almost out of the article 1 wish you would forward me one gloss of the bottles, if you see proper to do so, and I will he punctual in payment.

Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855. Dr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your Cure for the F’ever and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It has not failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent cure. Some who have been troubled with the distress ing disease have been entirely cured by usiug only ono bottle of the Cure. Please send us immediately four dozen, as we have but three bottles remaining. Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. , Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the Benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Istkmu if Panama, several months since, and in spite of th • different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal ..grew worse until 1 commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure.— Since that time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur medicine the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of today’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We arc not in the habit of pulling medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and in i very case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, Bowishi/ro, Aid. Sept. 1. Evidence from n Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25, 1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, — Hear Sir — l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in the family of a clergyman here has been taking an “ AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—l have been in the practice of Medicine here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours, W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Aguo Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who has been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. W. A. IIAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible into every town and village in the United States, Canadas, &c. The eminent chem ist, Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. 1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of which I publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. ‘THe Crowning Glory of the Core is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or anv form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cnru is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.

In thus formally announcing the Prospectus for tlie Fourth Volume, we have but a few short paragraphs to add, sanguine in the belief that, with the intelligent, in dustrious patrons of progressive improvement in the Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Manufactures of the Plant ing States, and especially Alabamians, the past history el tho Cotton Planter is its highest commendation. In the first place, we remark to our friends and rvudt-i ----that the Editor, Dr. Cloud, lias again become the Publish er and Proprietor; and we hereby assure our readt-i*. emphatically, that in future tlie Cotton Planter slioll is sue promptly’ by the first day of each month. Flushed with victory in the magnificent Exhibition el Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in tlie triumphant success of the first Annual Fair of the Alabama State Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “will take n< step backward” its progress is onward and upwuni to the highest niche of improvement. It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, ami by the members of tlie Society, that the Planters an.l Farmers, the Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama, will rally en masse to the support of Alabama’s only (ex clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of the Ala bama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency may be unfettered in the great work of developing the im measurable resources of the Keystone State of tlie South, “ Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Manufac ture* and the Mechanic Arts,” the object of the. Amiri can Cotton Planter is to “Improve the’ Soil and tlie Mind.” With a corps of correspondents, numbering many ui the most practical as well as scientific minds of the South, we feel assured we shali be able to visit our patrons on the first of each month, to their entire satisfaction nml profit. Every family in tlie country, wliatavcr nisy lie their avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper: be cause there is no reading matter published to tlie world so innocent, and at the same time so practically profita blc in all the walks of life as that obtained in a good apt i cultural Periodical. The American Cotton Planter will issue promptly by the first day of the month.
