As 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 had been really much sick, and very natural',;’ conclude th y ■vers not attacked with fever, and if so, -it was trifling -a little co! 1, which gave alarm—it could have been nothing jf consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine hail noeffect.” ‘I lie general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the cure of a common ease as naturally as men think at nil; anil it i. net until the individual has witnessed many cases that he can fully realise tlie truth; and even then lie may conclude them all very ti ifiing cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds ol cases, must X|>eot that there will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as tb require particular attention, or though sin in reducing tlie lever, it will iigidn rise as tlie influence of the “ Ifluiil” passes off, as tho exciting cause may atill exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such rases that 1 have given ami frequently referto what I have called a “synopsis.” Remark.* on Fevers lu General- On this subject I wish to be fully understood. Hy tlss term “fevers,” i comprehend all febrile affections to which tho human frame is subject, including small i>ox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and in quite dissimilar constitutions and liabils, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yot all arc distinguished by the same, general character istics—that ol undue excitement in tlie circulatory and nervous systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in the pulse, sense of lient, dryness of the skin, debliity, Ac. To show Hint 1 am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from tho celebrafod l’rof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, wliobc work on tlie “ Princi ples anil Practice of Physic” is a text hook in many of our medical colleges, and consequently itaiuluntauthority. On page 834, he says;—“Wo hear continually, both ,n and out of tho profession, different species of fever spo ken of. Uy the public, Typhus Fever, liraiu Fever, bilious Fever, l’utrid Fever, bow Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucous Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Gnstro-Enteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, l am persuaded that the effect upon tho mlud of all this sub-division, is had and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no lino of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can lie relied oil. They run insensibly into each other, even the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the sumo cause.” The above is a g-eat fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would imprest on your minds tlie folly of huntiug up or troubling yourself about a “ name;” if you have fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you will be. wdl instead of any distinctcharactcr being devel oped, so as to he properly named hy the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, hut on experience at tho bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cuuistauces, seasons and climates. Boar this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon he freed from uli dread of linger ing anil dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before tlie Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as brieliy as possible the proper course to be pursued in all ol tlie most prominent fev-'-s, though the “ Rules” and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tlie sick. /Itiles important to be observed in ull cases in using the JVeyativc Electric Fluid. Ist. It should bo given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may lie sweetened or not at pleasure. id. l’atients must bo free from ull currents of air, (though tliero should always be free ventilation in tho sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in- Uuouce. 3d. It must bo continued whenever the fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it begins in rise again, should such be the case under any circumstances. 4til. When the fever begins to subside, patients niiMt be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not be questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own mdural feelings, independent of all extra neous affluences. induce them to rise or sneak; our should any conversation lie allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel more or less interested, hut ho left quiet to all intents and purposes. sth. Fluids should bo allowed, while giving it as plentifully, ami as long as the patient detires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. tltb. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in tlie lying posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade wilh a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast may be bathed m cold water; either of wliirh will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoonful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; nor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses ; but for a littlo guide, 1 have giveu the above table, with tlie remark that, us a general rule, children require more than adults in projsirtioit. By observing the above directions, tho niodicibo will bo found agreeable ill all of its effects, tlie expectations of tlie most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My olyect in being thus particular is, that the rail benefit ol’ tlie medicine may be obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of sucli strict ot>- ser caucus. Billon* or Remittent Fever. Give a teioqioiiful of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes the whole treatment in all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth in tlie “ ttules. 1 ’ But should there lie prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie attended to at once, and while giving the FluiJ “ See Synopsis. If in any case the L evels are particularly constipated or confined, give a athartic (see auxiliaries) with the first jiortiou ; they must bo opened or the fever may rise again. Where the fever is very high, pulse miming 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by medicine generally—a doable dose, or ‘two tcuspoonsfui may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated in two hours—if it—tlie pulse—has not been softened, thus allowing the medicine bus taken effect. Bathing the surface with water nt an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, in these difficult oases, will afford relief and aid tlie medicine much iu taking effect. Congestive Fever. (Mve two toaspooiist'nl and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more ton and soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as tlie fever subside) As the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get mediciue to operate in tills disease no time should be lost to get them open, give some activ.’ cathartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neces sary till it operates; enemas (injections) mav also be used to advantage; also, mustard to tlie extremities er frictiou applications to the head.

The boueset tea should b* giveu warm till iho violent symptoms are allayed, or tlie patient is relieved ; then colil; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something ot tlie kind, to be applied over tho seat ot paiu; keep tlie bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases ure attended with fever, which in fact is the most prominent symptom, tin: treatment differs hue little from that ot’ common fevers. Remember never wait to learn tlie “name,” whether it is one nr tho other, or wither, as they all commence with Jt rer, but treat It at onoe; govern tlie fever and there will he no trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minila, is anew idea, and doubtless will bo regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make tlie assertion, tiiat small pox, if treated as 1 direct, wilt, be rut short; attended with hut little erup tion; little or no lotting, and that there is necessity of its running its ordinary course. On this I will Htakc not only my reputation, but all that I hold most dear; besides, on this subject, I have good authority; that id’ Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874: You may abate tlie force of tlie eruptive lever, and keep down, it is believed, tlie number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission that it may be done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, but has been done in numerous coses that occurred on board ship. See the account appended. (live a teaspoon I'll I or more, according to tho urgency of the case, witli a dose of suits or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until tile l'eversub sides—though one or two doses is generally sufficient; hut it should be given and repeated sufficiently to keep the fever under control. W hen the throat is affected, any of tlie ordinary gargles may he used, and the iurface bathed, us thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and faucus were so much swollen that the patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tlie Fluid on bis tongue, drop by drop, till he could swallow, when it was given iu teaspoonful doses retry hoar, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. Tlie swelling of tlie throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour ishment in about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wot the throat frequently, it is doubtless tlie best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tlie Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, ns to seem to he of littlo consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it in a short time. It should he re peated as lot g as tlie fever continues, us in other cases. Tho bowels of course should be attended to. lu connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the ladies, will save them much pain and suffering, it is to inform them of tlie happy effect of tlie Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it must be tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at oace hy a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if nut the most so of uny medicine known. Its effect is uniform, rcluxing tlie whole system, removing all excitability and iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet tho system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense the treat ment as much as possible, I give under this head general directions for all cases. As the Negative Elective Fluid will change the condition called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tlie name it may bo or ought to he called, it should lie giveu wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot bo ex pected to control nil organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be ramoved in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these soliuld be given while giving the “ Fluid,” and iu connection witli it, when occasiou requires, as they will then more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As the‘,Fluid” alone will sub due tlie fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. If tho bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tho first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in due time, repeat tlie (lose; if attended with diarrhoea, give something known to be good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho “ Fluid” will soon relieve that condition ; if severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, n mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of bitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to tlie part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ico water, if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe tlie feet iu hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe tlie whole surface with water nt an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tho medi cine in taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble; if tho patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, lu absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tlie patient has become re duced; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on tlie stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give some gentle emetic to cleanse tlio stomach; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give tlie “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all tlie prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving tlie “Fluid” at tlie same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you have seen, and then you will bo astonished nt the ease with which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity whon using the Fluid, and to be fully understood by all, I will name a tew of the different articles of medi cine 1 have referred to, viz : t nlliartics.—Articles thatpurge or operate on tlie bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, mid many pills, iintibilious, Ac.; anythin” known to be goodforsuch purposes. Hepatic*.— Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on hy the different schools for this purpose will answer when used in connection with tlie “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue mass—tlie third, podophylliu—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take liis choice and he suc cessful. Tonics.—Articles that give tone or strength, such iu* quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone sei in- thoroughwort is one of tlie best used in levers Astringents.—Such as check tho action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, many mixtures, not pt-operly astringents which have the effect. Stimulant*.— Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tho best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn. Ac., the essences are all more er less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry initiating fovera, though many others are generally used, hut the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “din* ! phoretie,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative than known in the materia medico. I shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs depending mainly on the results of n trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Paclcetaltip Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates • Me. the undersigned, certify to the following viz— Wo took passage on the pnoketship Duchess d’Orlenns Capt llntton. then lying in the port of Havre.

They were all treated by the physician in charge,Dr. N. W.

OH 3MIIASMA.. fI'JIESE diseases are common to many localities of the United Mates; hut Wherever they prevail, North, South, Unit or West, they all equally spring from the same miasuial cause. The great variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, sox, constitution and habits of the sufferers; hut as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause. By the hove of Nature, every principle has its opposite, and for every disease, or cuuse of disease, there is a re agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria, whether arising from -Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is tho same in character and effect; is a poi son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing tlie unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in tlie preparation before us, offered to the public, The Natural Antidote to Malaria, which neutralize# the poison whenever it comes in con tact with it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter nally completely purities the system affected hy it of its baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any hut tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, and by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will lie effected; tlie patient contin uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary. in its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, aud when tlie disease is cured, it will entirely prevent tiie accession of General Debility and Niglit Sweats, which so often follow tlie administration of other mode cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; formers, me chanics, and all laboring people maybe using this arti cle as a Preventive, And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety front ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year. Since tho introduction of tho CURE in every part of the United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these 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 of science had been taxed in 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 poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint. Oil tliis account ague sufferers should he particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously Well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as q proof that the Remedy is not only valuablo on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also Worthy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular and Entire Harmlessness, Tlie lollowing certificate from one ol’ the most celebrated chemists in tlie United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to .Malaria, aud have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. • JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It i. a stubborn faat, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relievo the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm. The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes tliis Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of diseaso is so easily managed as tlie one under consideration, if the medicine lie taken in advance. This is ow'ing to tho diseases being produced by one and tlie samo cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves l>y the timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tlie 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 jirecede this medi ciue by a mild cathartic or iintibilious purgative. Tlie very best thing 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 me taken or tlie operation of tlie antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution. — ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of tlie Cure into l shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them iu sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tho air wafted across, or circulated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained iu the apartment. Tliis mode of exhibiting tlie Cure should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which this medicine is put up have tho words, “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cuke” blown in tho glass, and on the outside wrapper is tlie name of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and tlie signature of tho 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. Those will bo considered sufficient.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent an order to Ames k HaHjday for another half gross of your l-'ovcraud Ague Cure. It has sold like “ Hot Cakes,” and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because w hen I have heard of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, I have sent a bottle and teld them to try it, and If it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, and they were ail satisfied. I had one case of t’liill Fever where it run four days, but tbc man came to see me on the sixtli day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 24 Bodies Perform 24 Cures.

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 by chills and fever on the Isthmu if Panama, several months since, aud in spite of tli - different remedies and treatment I adopted, my heal 1,-grew worse until I 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 y jut- m -diettie the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day's paper will be found an advertisement for “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in tlie habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Win. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us that he sold several dozen bottles, and iu every case it lias 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, Botmsboro, Mtl. Sept. 4. Evidence from a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear 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 6ince she got a bottle of the Cure and lias 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.

Respectfully yours, W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R„ Ga., Jan. 1, 1850. Your Ague 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. ‘ \\\ A.HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of tlie CURE, w-hich is being intro duced rapidly as possible into every town and village in tlie United States, Canadas, Ac. Tlie eminent cliem ist. Dr.-7. R. Chilton, of New- York, certifies to its per iect innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have tho Fever and Ague *r not. just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers arc those w-lio 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 lie noticed that tlie letters ot which I publish su h immense quantities are always now and late datos—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove tlie factofjt greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Cilory of the Cure 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 sen. sons, not a man woman or child iu the United Stateß would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from (ho atmospheric poison Malaria, to which tlie Cure is a perfect antidote. It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects as a Restorative, giving lu-w life and strength to all wlto.se constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor ntid de bility or any kind of intemperance or dissipation.

In thus formally'announcing the Prospectus fur the Fourth Volume, we have hut 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 ol i the Cotton Planter is its highest commendation. In the first place, we remark to our friends and readers that tlie Editor, Dr. Cloud, has again become tlie Publish : er and Proprietor; aud we hereby assure our reader!, emphatically, that in future tlie Cotton Planter shall is sue promptly by the first day of each mouth. Flushed with victory in tlie magnificent Exhibition ol Alabama’s Industry, as demonstrated in the triumphant success of tlie first Annual Fair of the Alabama State Agricultural Society, the Cotton Planter “will take nc step backward” its progress is onward and upward to the highest niche of improvement. It is hoped earnestly by the Editor and proprietor, and by the members of tlio Society, that tlie Planters ami 1-armors, the Mechanics and Manufactures of Alabama, will rally en masse to the support of Alabama’s only (ev clusively) Industrial Periodical, the Organ of tho Ala bama State Agricultural Society, that its efficiency inn.) be unfettered in the great work of developing the im measurable resources of the Keystone State of the South. “ Devoted to Improved Plantation Economy, Manutii tures and the Mechanic Arts,” the object of the Ameri can Cotton Planter is to “ Improve tlie Soil anrt tlie Mind.” With a turps of correspondents, numbering many i-l tlie most practical as well as scientific minds of the South, we feel assured we shali be able to visit our patrons on the first ot eacli mouth, to their entire satisfaction and profit. Every family in the country, whataver msy be their avocation, should patronise some Agricultural paper: he ’ cause there is do reading matter published to tlie tvciki so innocent, and at the same time so practically prelim ble in all tlie walks of life as that obtained in a good ngri cultural Periodical.
