AGRICULTURE OF THE U. STATES.
(concluded.)
We*shall now hustou to bring this essay to
a conclusion.
The cultivation of cotton is not now at all a
profitable business- —the capital vested is large,
at’d the product in money comparatively small.
A Huntsville paper of the 26th January says
'•‘the planters of north Alabama will readily a
gree that the present price of cotton will not
defray the expense of cultivation, rent free.”
Another paper of the same place, of the 19th,
epoaking of the prospects of the cotton
planter, says—
*• These are gloomy beyond all former ex
ample, and the price is depressed below the
wshes or expectations of our worst enemies*
No sensible man would have ventured, live
years ago, to predict, that upland cotton of
fair quality, would ever fall below six cents per
pound ; but this sad reverse we have witness
ed and felt to our astonishment and mortifica
tion. It is well under.-iood, in cotton growing
countries that the article cannot be grown
■uad yield a reasonable interest on the capital
employed, at less than.eigjjt cents per pound,
and that the actual disburements, independ
ent of the interest on the capital employed,
nearly equal the present price of cotton.”!
Then follow some excellent remarks on the
-fluctuations in the price of cotton, and the ex
cess of quantity raised, which, if much more
augmented, it is stated, will cause plantations
and slaves to be a tax on proprietors, for that
> the proceeds will not defray the disture
inenttf,” &.c. all which is very probable or very
-Due. & we exceedingly regrcUit; -but -‘bad as
Tud busjuess of growing of cotton may beat
the present timo, it \4ould be much worse”
except for the homo manufacture of it—it
"ould not yield so much by one cent per
lb. though we have only supposed half a cent
in the preceding speculations ’on this point of
our Subject. We feel confident of this, and
#u tlie difference to the cotton growers would
■amount to $2,500,006 in the year! Examine
’it—it is so. The horns market too, is extend
ing A steam boat arrived at Pittsburg, a
few days since from Nashville, laden with six
hundred and thirteen bale ! The homo con
sumption is about 175,000 bales—oronefouitli
of the whole product. The whole amount of
(L'mestic cottons sold in Philadelphia, in the
years 1801. ’sic,’G were valufcdatonly $517,070:
those sold the last year were worth four mill
ions. We as sincerely sympathise with our
brethren the cotton growers, as w ith Ihe grain
growers and wool growers. Whatever de
presses .either, injures the whole Country.—
"here is no incompatibility in the prosperity of
■all these interests and of the mauufacturng and
commercial, lor all operate to a common ob
ject. Put I repeat it—except the sugar plan
ting interest, there is r;o other interest in the
country more benefitted by the tariff than the
cotton planting. The duty is three cents ]>er
if. which several limes has, and in future will
be, a protection, notwithstanding the export of
that article, because of the very inferior quah
that might be imported and intertere with
those grown by us. And to terminate tins

zens of th3 south ; to whom, as well as all o

always esteem ourselves happy, indeed, if,
while suffering what at a certain period ap-'
peared, like a persecution, we can benefit
those who have persecuted us, even in the
least degree, through our humble exertions in
behalf of domestic industry, as the chiel agent
to render these United States really independ

KOTE TOBACCO.
[lt will he observed that this article was
written he'ore our rail-road project was on
foot. The books were opened on Tuesday
last, and, though not to be closed for ten days,
and subsriplions were received at oth r pla
ces. the amount of shares .taken, (and by those
who will pay for them, and generally keep them,)
slready much exceeds the number allowed in
the charter. Ed Rf.o.
In a late number of the “American Farmer,”
the intelligent editor, speaking of tobacc.o,
says—
“ Little or none of the article, the growth of
1826, has yet come to this market, except from
Ohio. From that state several crops -have
been inspected, and sold for high prices One
lot of six hogsheads sold yesterday for from
12 to 13 dollars round, and the whole crop of
the same planter, eighteen hogsheads in num
ber, has past inspection in the finest order, and
has averaged nearly, if not quite, 14 dollars
per hundred. The perfection to winch the
Ohio planters have already attuinodf m what
has been deemed difficult in the culture, and
yet more in the process tit preparing for mar
ket, is*a remarkable proof of the superiority to
be expected in every case where the actual
protlurfe is under the'constant influence of self
interest and the prospect of immediate per
sonal profit That influence, united with the
fertility of the soil, and the extraordinary adap
tion of their new lands to tobacco of the finest
quality, is a competition to which
hie planter of the seaboard, slave labour dis
trict, will have to yie|d, notwithstandintg his
greater facilities of transportation to markets;
mid if this great traqsrnontahe rivalry beat this
time so formidable, how much-more irresisti
ble when, by means of the Ohio and Chesa
peake canal, the only advantage in favour of
the sjave holding planter, shall liaveireen re
moved, and uponhbw many more articles will
that rivalry bear! The Ohio planters who visit
our market, avow that whilst they can get*four
dollars per hundred on their farms, or what is
the same thing, clear of expense in this mar
ket, they will, regard it as a profitable object
for the employment of their labor and capital.
The particular crops of which we have spoken
were transported from more than fifty miles
beyond Wheeling, for $1 75 per cwt. and it
may probably bo assumed that the average cost
of transportation from the state of Ohio i.ot
now piore than §2 50, or 4525 for 1000 lbs.
When the canal shall have been finished, the
cost,according to the anticipations of its friends,
will not exceed five, perhaps three dollars per
hogshead May it not, then, be predicted,
that Ohio tobacco, of the liuest quality, will
he brought here and sold for 1 ss than we can
make Maryland of the worst? And what npist
be tlie effect of this upon the price of Mary
land lands? This side of the picture wears tru
ly a gloomy aspect in the eyes of Maryland
planters: but are not countervailing advantages
in store for them? And, were there not, do
they not find in their public spirit, and their
devotion to the general good, and unfailing
salvo for any personal sacrifice? It is known,
in proof oftheir patriotism, that the planters of
Prince George’s have disputed for nothing but
the honor of who should be the first to break
ground m this great national work.
Emigration —By the special report of the
committee of the House ol Commons on emi
gration, the conymttee have recommended
1500.000 to be given, in order to facilitate the
emigration of twelve hundred families to North
America from the distressed districts of Lan
cashire, Yorkshire, Renfrew, and Lanark.

# OLD TIMES.
At the battle of Yorktown, whilst the aids of
the American chief were issuing his orders
along the line, a man was discovered a short
distance ftom it, who presented rather a gro
tesque appearance, being dressed in the course
common cloth worn at the time by the lowtr
orders in the hack country, with an ottcr-cap,
the shape of which very much resamhh'/l.the
steeple of a mccting-ho’use, and a broad leath
er apron. His equipments consisted df a
small woodchuck’s skin, sewed together in the
form of a bag, and partly filled with buck shot,
an ox horn filled w ith powder, and an old rus
ty gun, which measured about seven feet,
eight inches, from the muzzle to tho end of
the breech, and which had probably lain in the
smoke ever since the landing of tho pilgrims.
One of the aids passing him in the course x o<
his rounds, inquired of him to what regiment
he belonged. “ I belong to no regiment,”
said (be fellow, after he had fired his “ long
carabine.” A few’ moments after, the officer
rode by again ; hut seeing the fellow very
busy, and sweating with exertion, he once
more inquired to what regiment he belonged.
“ To no regiment,” was the answer, the spea
ker at the same time levelled his piece at a
red coat” who was.prepnring to tire, lout who
dropped dead before he had half raised his
gun. “To what company do you belong”—
to no company—“ to wbat battalion do you be
long?”—to no battalion—“then where the
devil do you belong, or who are you fighting
for?” “Dang ycV’ said the fellow, “ I don’t
belong any where, lam fighting on my oxn

TO MAKE EXCELLENT BREAD WITrfOCT YEAST.
Scald about a double handful of Indian
meal, into which put a little salt, and as much
cold water as will make it rather warmer than
(lew milk; then stir in wheat flour, till it is as
tMickas a family pudding, and set it down by
the tire to rise. In about half an hour, it gen
erally grows thin; you may sprinkle a little
fresh floor on the top, and mind to turn the
pot round, that it may not bake to the side of
it. In throe or four hours, if you mind the
above directions, it will rise and ferment as if
you had set it with top yeast: when it- does,
make it up in a soft dough—flour a pan, put
in your bread, set it before the fire, covered
up, turn it round to make it equally warm, and
in about half an hour it will be light enough to
bake. It suits best to hake at home in a
Dutch oven, as it should bo put into the ov
en as soon as it is light.

CULTURE OF THE VINE.
The following letter was received several
weeks since, and has been delayed for want of
room until the present time. Believing as we
do, that the staple productions »f this state are
overdone, and are unprofitable to our agricul
turists, we embrace with pleasure every suit
able opportunity of disseminating among our
readers a knowledge of the advantages of oth
er branches of agriculture. The culture of
the vine has for many years claimed the atten
tion of enterprising agriculturists, both in the
free and slave stales, and the success which
has attended every welt directed experinmnt,
is ample to convince the most sceptical oMU
profitableness. In many parts of this state,
that culture is increasing yearly, and in this vi
cinity during the late season, grape cuttings of
a goad .quality have- been sought after with
great tfvidity. The country is indebted to
Gencral*]ohn Bratian lor tho introduction of
a grape which is probably known, in the Eas
tern stales and Virginia, as the Bland Madeira.
It is the hardest aud most productive vine we
have any knowledge of. The. fruit is tolera
ble for the table and makes an excellent wine
*lt is ot much darker colour than it was four
years since, and that circumstunce goes to
confirm the opinion, entertained by experien
ced vine dressers, that all descriptions of grape
will gradually assimilate to each oth<£ in fttc
same soil and climate. That experiment has
been fully tested in France, where, out of 1400
kinds planted in the same vim-yard, there
were hut two or throe kinds distinguishable
after the lapse of fifty years. Wo are inclin
ed to the opinion, that native vines transplant
ed and cultivated will improve in quality wad
quantity of the fruit, ami will ultimately bo pre
ferable to all others for w ins. These are with
in the reach of every one, and ti e prospect of
realizing at uo very distant period, from tw
to five hundred dollars per acre, annually, is
highly encouraging to the owners and cultiva
tors of land, to commence the interesting cul
ture.
To thi Editors of the Southern Advocate.
During the last summer, whilst engaged in
an excursion through the country between
Tuscaloosa and Huntsville, I fell in company
and travelled for several miles, with an intel
ligent French agriculturist, just from Fiance,
by the way of New Orleans; and who, from
the motive of ascertaining tho state of Ameri
can agriculture, previous to his return to his
native country, had determined to lake a view
ofthose parts of the country, most highly cul
tivated.
I felt extremely anxious to sec the impres
sions made on tho mind of an enlightened for
eigner by our manner of cultivating the soil,
and was proportionablv gratified by his obser
vations, which were at onco intelligent and
liberal.
On passing through the country west a few
miles of Tuscaloosa, he frequently, and it ap
peared to me involuntarily, asked, on looking
at the ioi7;'and other circumstances urounil
him, ‘are there no vineyards in this sectioD of
country—no sii.k made— ah / non Dieu! it is
well for France.”
This expression often repeated, induced my
inquiry—did the country around him give any
peculiar indications of soil, &c. on which san
guine calculation might safely be made respect
ing the vine, silk, &c.l “My friend,” said
he, “looked around,” and ou doing which I
beheld, what had not before so forcibly arrest
ed my attention, the ■woods, literally matted
with the wild grape vine. “My friend,” he
continued with some animation, here is the
soil, climate, and situation for the production
of some of the first wines of France —the best
of her silks —and the invaluable olive — man
Diev, what are you citizens about? but uh, it is
wellJor France."
Arriving on a considqrahJe eminence of rath
er gravelly soil, which is freqaent in that sec
tion of country, and what might be called se
cond rate laud, he remarked, “if I had my
vineyard here 1 would not take two thousand
dollars the nr pent (ucrcj for it—it is worth om
thousand where it it."
It r certain that the vl XuaPExaitL
fVoL. 11. No. 22.— Whole No. 74.
and Alabama,* contain every soil and climate
for the production of every sptcies of vine. II
is equally certain, that the climate of those
states are highly favourable for the process f
fermentation** b ich almost determines the <juui
ity of the best wines; and it is equally as ex
traordinary, that so little exertion is making
iu two states to obtain or cultivate the grapes
which produce those delicious and valuaoie
wines which the sou’ and climate so highly fit
vour the production of.
In the nursery of Mr. William Pfince of
Long Island. N. Y. -every grape producing
the finest sitter of Europe is now to be had
varretited —those producing the best wines of
Madeira, for which we pay six dollars per gal- *
lon—th*- grapes which produce the finest *
Claret, Malaga, TokdV the delicious Cape
nine, and the boast of France the sparkling
Champagne and Burgundy—-as also rtic iiuir
dreds of delicious table grapes, which rank
amongst the luxuries ot Europe. H
Those vines arc to be purchased fr®m 37J
cents, to one dollar each, and fronf one root,
industry might in no* length of time, produce *
vineyard. From one vitte of Ahe real Cl o*
grape forwarded to inc last March, I- av® v
planted out iu November fifteen h&tkhy cut
tings. With the common success atUMing
tho cultivation ofthe vine, what will be tro in
crease in tour er five years? This one vine
cost 37 1-2 cents, and two or three cents
freight, Sic. to jilobde.
From tho same establishment, I procured
the finest species of northern apples, twenty-*
four kinds, including the pipins, spitzenberg*
bell flow r, vanderver., the ox apple which
has weighed 35 ounces. &c. with others,
the sou shell almond, tho finest species of
rigs, Chinese mulberry, iic. out of which I
lost one apple tree and one grape vine, out of
nine kinds.
Tho rapidity with which the fine Chinese
mulberry so highly valued for the production
of silk may be multiplied by engrafting on tho
common mulberry whiefc abouuds in our coun
try, leaves us without excuse on that subject.
Every thing invites uslo be proparqd for tho
time that appears rapidly approaching as re
gards the present staple of the country. Suei. is,
however, thn tardiness with which we move,
that the foreigner may well exclaigi “mon
Dieu—what are your citizens about— bu: ak,
it ft 'well for France.”

suited to the culture of the grape pnd piulberry.
