The above fable is prepared troru i,. Biodget’s *'C/i
--nimologyof the Udßtd with J.urope and
stsia; uithrain charts,' ’ Deductions'are drawn from
this valuable work, as wellasfrom li*olessor Maury’s
‘•Piiysical Geography ofthe Sea,” where treating of
evaporation from tiie Tropical seas, ofthe
North East and South East Trade winds,—the conden
sation oi the rain clouds in the valley of the Missis
sippi, and we will add, particularly where they meetthe
cold air of the mountains of Tennessee and North
Carolinao,B-12feel above tide, Bins producing in the
Gulf States fructifying rains all the year, to the ex
tent, of lia inches, uu<l 20 incites in summer.
These monthly tains enable us to furnish Europe a
class’of cotton unique, and solar not to be found in
any partoftheiropical world, where the seasons are,
as a general rule, divided into the wet and the dry.
'Fli is is the secret of our success in raising Harp, or
long staple ‘*l plamls,” instead of Weft, or snort
staple wooly cotton:
We have prepared the above table to show our one
idea moralists ami philanthropists, and particularly
ilioseof Exeter Hall, England, and their satellites if
not their agents, in this country, “to divide the North
from the Booth,” that Providence (if we may reverent
ly use His Name,) in Ilisgoodness, to supply one of
tin: “ three u ants c ' man—food, lire and clothing,”
has given the t ion Cede rale States Hie only region on the
ghdm where liurp cotton, viz., long, white, silky
‘•I plamls” is cheaply cultivated in abundance. Weft
cotton —“short, fuzzy, woolly cotton”—is indigenous
to the tropics around the world; hut this class of cot
toil cannot he used in quantities, or to make strong
elptlis, without an intermixture of our strong and
diUcatclibred cotton—an annual, produced by a quick
growth, in a peculiarly favored region, where rains,
dlaw 11 upjioiutiie Southeast tropical seas (see Mau
ry, pages 7 i and 75, Plate I,) are precipitated in the
Gulf Mates to the extent oi twenty (20) inches in the
Bummer months, a period during which not a drop
falls in other cotton countries, producing cotton.
We have also an average high rate of mean heat in
South Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisana, and
part of East Texas, during the Summer months, ofS2
degrees in lat. 30, and ol>o degrees in Tennessee,lat,
3! and 35. (See Blogdett’s Isothermal charts.)
This length and breadth of warp cotton lands (but
partially cultivated) so iar,) extends from Wilming
ton, N. and from Bt. Augustine, Florida, on the
Atlantic, or say from longitude 80 to longitude 95 in
the East part of Tex as. From the West partofTexas
where the average fall of rain per annum is only L 5
inches, it tapers oil' to three inches at Fort Yu mas on
the itio Colorado, wh.cn river fulls into the Gulf of
California, on the Pacific; this whole region being
unlit to raise warp cotton. The same may he said 01
the lands lying South ofthe United States to the Isth
mus ol Panama,although the cotton tree is indigenous
in many localities, as stated by Alt. Squires and others,
and also l>v Doct. Livingstone, in Africa, on the'Zam
besi river.
The discovery we claim to have made for the bene
fit ol Lord Brougham and Exeter Hall, (who would
j.aiso tottoinn India with servile Asiatics, in Africa
with savage negroes, and in the West Indies with
Coolies, with the avowed purpose to supersede the
use oi coitonfrom our unique cotton lands, cultiva
ted hy the welUed and well cared for, improved Afri
can race,—a class superioi to “ the white slaves of Eng
land,” as depicted in a work l>y .J. Cobdcn, in vivid
colors, and with revolting facts, drawn from Parlia
mentary examinations and reports, on the working
of the coal mines, and tlie manutACtoiies oi Great
Britain by the operatives in Dial country, and by their
Coolies in the Wrst Indies) is simply this, we have
rain all the year —twenty inches in summer-ft high
range of average temperature of SO 10 S2 degrees,
while other parts ofthe cotton world have the w or and
the dry seasons, alternately, four topsix months m
the year, yielding very limited quantities of short
fibred cotton.

«>fihis month edited by Messrs. Homans & Dana,
N. \ .jliaasait able article on “Flax Gottoni/.ed,” in
proof ofthe foiegoing, but without, stating the cause,
ofthe quality of our cotton.
“The great manufacturing fact which stands head
and shoulders above all other facts, and forces itself
upon the at tent ion of the observer, like t he sun at noon
day, is that in sixty years the manufacture of cotton
has grown tip to employ, in the United States ami
Western Europe, 4'),(K)U,lHti spindles in Ihe produc
tion ofyarns. Towards the close oClast century, one
person operated one spindle; ihe machines of the
present day,therefore do Uiu work of ■10,0.0,0J0 spin
ners, and tiie attendant labor iu the perfection 01 the
manufacture employs 10(!0 persons. To supply
taw material for those .qiiniiles, there vcani last year
produced in the Confederate Stales, 4,000,000 hake;,
and there was derived from India 573,000 bales ; from
Brazil, IdO.UOO bales; West Indies,47,loo bales; Egypt
158,UK) bales; total 5,481,000 bales. Os this (quantity,
87 percent, was from the t nited States, ten per cent
from India, and the three per cent, iiom other coun
tries. Ot the values3,ooo.ooo,UrnCoulcderuio States
stood for 00 per cent. The demand for the icalruiui
has grown in the double ratio of the increasing num
bers, and the improving condition ofthe means of
the people. The increased quantity annually re
quired to meet the demand, is now equal to the whole
crop of lmt a few years since. It was recently sta
led, before “ the Manchester twv« Supply .4 asocial ion,”
that the number ofspindles increased in Europe and
America at the rate of (1,000,000 per annum. At the
rate of 100 pounds oi cotton per spindle per annum,
there is required to supply these spindles 810,0*0bales
of cotton perannum, or a quantity equal to tlicwhole
United States crop of 1830. There are then these
prominent facts:—lst, That in the present century, the
demand for cotton lms increased front .comparatively
nothing, to, in round numbers, 5,600,000 bales per
annum. 2d, That it now increases at the rate of
800,000 bales per annum, which in ten years would
give a ik-inand ior 13,500,000 bales. 3d, Up to this
time, nearly tiie whole increase in quantity has been
supplied by tiie United'States; also, the only ad
vance in quality These tacts iiave been growing in
importance before the eyes of manufacturers and
statesmen during ihe last 25 years, and the most ear
nest attention has been directed to the means of in
suring a future sufficient supply; but late events have
given anew interest to tliissubject. Tiie necessity of
increased sources of supply is based upon the idea of
the growing dependence upon the Southern States,
Those who reflect upon the matter will, however,
observe that this questionmf dependence upon this or
that country is altogether secondary, since, with the
railroad pace at which the demand grows, itwillsoon
altogether.exceed the capacity of even the Southern
States to supply it. Tiie question of drawing supplies
from other countries lias been earnestly discussed and
vigorously acted upon during more than 30 years.
Vast sums of money have been fruitlessly expended in
the prosecution of these schemes. Disappointment
has attended all. In the mentime, France and Wes
tern Europe have grown to demand more cotton an
nually, than England required when these enterprises
were first undertaken. Tire French, to meet the same
difficulty, ottered enormous prizes to produce cotton
in Algeria. The produce was bought up at premium
prices ; the fabric formed from it was prepared with
the greatest care at Rouen, ami ostentatiously para
ded attlie Paris Exhibition. Attended inumistakable
failure Cotton ofthe Jlmtrican quality is said to grow
in Africa, but industry of the American qual.ty is in vain
sought in that country.” [The editors should also have
said Airica wanted monthly rains throughout the
summer to give the cotton quick growth a»d iong
staple j “After considering all accounts from Urn
quarter, and comparing them with similar; reports of
40 years’ standing, we draw from them but little hope.
“ The English have made Herculean e(Torts in India
but the results have convinced tlie most sanguine prac
tical men that more Surat cotton only can be expec
ted thence. One of tiie highest Manchester autliori
tiesconcludes a valuable report as tollows:—“ The
point ice hare to bear in mind,then, is this, our desideratum
is not simply more cotton, but more cotton of the same charac
ter and price as that now imported from the States. Jj India
s\-re to send us two millions of Surat cotton per annum , ,he
desideratum mould not he supplied and our perilous problem
would be still unsolved. We should be almost as dependent
on America as ever. Jt is theinsvffinnit supply of the soft white,
si!hy, modci'tUclylong cottons, called “ Upland. Bowed Cleor*
gia and ,\YiO Orleans'’—nr the high price of this cotton—
that ha.< driven our manufacturers upon the short stapled no
tice article oj India, culled Surat, Jf the price of the two
u 'f f'i'Oit smirrlya bag of Surat would be employed.'
*‘ii has been sufficiently demonstrated, how e/er,
that the growth of cottor in India cannot be much
increased, and China depends largely upon the ludia
surplus. The dibits ofthe East India Company have
not been few, or inefficient. In I8fi), the Honorable
l.ast India Company sent an agent to ihe United
with a (nri(’ blanche as to expenses. lie engage*!
ue services o* ten experienced American cotton
growers, laken from tho best cotton districts of the
country. Several were taken from Mississippi, two
Louisiana, three fro n Alabama, and two or three from
Georgia. They wen engaged at good salaries, and
bound to remain in India five years each. They
