Agricultural. From thr IsiurensrlUe Herald. Tlic Cultivation of Cotton. To the Hon. J. C. Calhoun : Honored Sir —Will you permit me through the columns of the Herald, to re ply to your very acceptable letter 1 The subject I desire to press home upon every platfer is the improvement of seed by a close and rigid selection from the field, as also, the duty of drying before put into bulk, so as to prevent the hearing of seed. Every planter should do it to some ex tent, and in additi >n thereto procure an oc casitta! fresh article from the favored re gion of the cotton plant. I commence my cotton planting opera tions by breaking down with clubs the cot ton stalks of the past year; if they be large, the limbs are threshed down first so as to break up, then the stalk broken oil as near the earth as possible. Os course this is done when cotton succeeds cotton. 1 then run off my rows, at such distances as the fertility and ago of land as well as the variety of seed demanded. The fresh er the land, and richer it is the greater dis tance ; Mexican seed requiring more dis tance than the cotton 1 have seen which is called in a part of Mississippi the Hogan seed—a few 1 have received as a present -—and these still more than the Sugar Loaf, another variety from Mississippi which in some localities in the Gulf States lias proved very productive. 1 have not had occasion to give a greater distance than o.j feet, and am inclined to think, 1 though you claim La be at the Northern extremity of the cotton region, that upon ; rich and fresh land the cotton stalk may he as large or larger than some SO or 00 miles Son'll, on similiar lands. I make it a point to plow out all land as deep as 1 can, and with ut any ridge be ing left under the plowed land. My rows are always laid off by stakes, with a shov el plow, and then two furrows turned to it, one from each side, with an efficient turn plow; this is perfumed as early in March as I can, endeavoring to postpone my spring plowing until after the heavy rains. Understand I have a clay subsoil, with silicious matter so fine, that no grit is perceived by rubbing with the fingers. Using due dilligence in my early plow ing, and planting of corn, 1 am enabled to have all cotton laud with three furrows thrown up, before time to plant cotton. When the time lias arrived, —which time should not be before tlic seed will vegetate, and plant grow off—l do net like to plant as early as many do—l then press forward my plowing and planting, thus—enough plows go ahead to ridge up en'irely the balance of unbroken earth; harrows fol low, openers, droppers, and last coverers. 1 never wish to sow more than one bushel of seed, and prefer to cover with a board or block so as to cover shallow, to lenve ridge smooth, and to compress earth to seed. Upon level land I require a set of hands to plant 10 acres per day, length of rows averaging 140 yards—a set of' hands j is, one harrow, one opener, one to sow seed, and one to cover. Now esteemed sir, we have planted say one half the crop. If all land had not been plowed with three furrows prior to this, I then turn about and prepare the residue of land, and if corn can be pressed forward, I worh all or a part—with the view of having ten days between first and last planting. Then return to planting the residue of cotton. We have now planted the crop. Plowing and Planting. — l am very particular in requiting rows to be laid off straight, bedded up so, and furrows opened for dropping, equally so, because the plow man in all succeeding labor is able to plow nearer to the plant, atul thus lightening hoe labor. An expert plowman with a sharp turning plow can by letting the share run level with the ridge, handles inclined, of course, can scrape so near the plant that a hoe hand can scrape and thin out nearly twice as much. Many in breaking up land for cotton,leave unbroken earth, some call it—“cut and cover,” that is cover unbroken earth with a furrow— and they insist that the plant bears better, than when the land is all bro ken up, the plant grows too luxuriantly. This may possibly be the case upon the rich lands where your plantation in Alaba ma is, but certainly not in our State, and where you live. It is a slovenly culture to say the least of it. But how can the tender spingioles of the root pass through stiff land in dry weather, and how can the plant be sustained when only half the land is cultivated. The deeper land be plowed when the subsoil is not sandy, or gravelly, if proper ly drained, the more room for roots to search for their food, and the greater de posit ofdew therein, the longer to get hot, and the readier to cool, as well as holding more moisture, less liability to wash from an ordinary rain, and the sooner the dry ing of the surface. I place two furrows on the one laid off early, that the earth may consolidate—cot ton seed vegetating more certain, and grows off more rapidly. 1 put off breaking out the residue as long as 1 can ; so that the surface may be clean when planted, and thus grass and cotton have an equal start. I use the borrow to remove all trash clods &c., as also to level ridge. I prefer a ridge, with the view ofhaving dry warm soil for the seed, as cotton grows off earlier, and is sooner out of the way of drouths, as also that I can scrape down with plow, and cover young grass thinly in rhe middle. Early planting give3 “sore shin and lice,” or ratherthe plant has so little vitali ty that its natural enemies soon ‘take away even that which it bath.’ 1 always strive to keep seed perfectly sound, thereby adding to the vitality of the plant, 1 have noticed some years the stand to be worse than other years, and some men always to have had the luck of bad stands—this was owing, I think to damp weather, or wet spells, injuring the cotton so as to injure the vital powers of the seed. I plant seed sparsely, because, the plant becomes hardy ot once, and then stands almost if not quiet as much cold as doos corn. I regard a crop when planted in first rate order as nearly half made, so much regard I place upon thorough tilth and thorough preparation. With profound respect, I am, honored sir, Yours, Colo. THE «LOISE, j.? Congressional , Agricultural and Literary .Yciespaper. '('HE approach of Congress calls out ilio An il nual Prospectus of the Globe Establish ment. The time is full of interest. The coming in of anew Administration—the consequent broach ing of anew poiicy tcuching t lie internal con cerns of the country —the new and most impor tant issues arising from the late \ast accession to the public domain, and ilie great national objects associated with it—(he impending difficulty in oar relations with l'ranee,and the possible com plication of our affairs with the troubles of Eu rope,—conspire to create great expectation as to the proceedings of the next Congress. The ap proaching Session w ill probably continue till late in the summer of 1850. The debates, from the agitation of so many questions of vital interest to the Republic, will draw forth all the talent of the National Legislature To bring its delibera tions home to ibe people, on each succeeding day, while measures arc maturing, is, in effect, to bring the whole nation into council. Thu discussion, spreading from the Capitol to the re motest parts of the Union, forms a public opin ion w hich reacts upon Congress and controls its decisions. To become a useful instrument, however hum ble, to assist the w orking of the admirable ma chinery of our popular institutions, is the ambi tion of the conductor of the Globe. Extraor dinary preparations have therefore been made to meet the increasing demands of our rapidly im proving and grow ing country for Congressional intelligence. The Globe Press lias already enlisted the ablest Reporters yet known to Congress ; ils materials and machinery are of the best sort ; and the exclusive devotion of the individual w ho for so many years lias made it bis study to embo dy and publish the labors of Congress, gives rea son to hope that an advance, will bn made in the accomplishment of this undertaking commensu rate with its increased importance. Rut the ac cumulation of expense consequent on the addi tional number of Reporters required—the extra charges incurred in printing at night the debates oftlie preceding day—the vast addition made to the mass published, bv the protracted sessions and the fuller reports given,—will render our enterprise a failure, unless Congress shall so fir patronize it as to become a purchaser of such portion ofthe daily sheets issued,as shall contri bute to make the ri ports that fill them. The undersigned lias ventured on the preparation he lias made for the next Session, in the expectation that Congress wiil subscribe for as many daily sheets for each Member, at the subscription price as will, in part, defray the expense of reporting, and give them circulation ns Congressional docu ments in their several districts. This will ena ble the Publisher to bear the charge of reporting, and it will give an impulse to the circulation of the Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest in the Union (tlic expense of prepara tion considered) will yet yield sufficient profit to make the system permanent. John C. Rives having purchased the interest ofF.P. Blair in Jackson Hall—the printing | office machinery and material—becomes the sole | proprietor thereof, and will give bis exclusive I attention to the Congressional Department, j J. C. I’ickett will conduct the Miscellaneous 1 Department of the Newspaper. F. P. Blair retires from both concerns, with prayers for their permanent usefulness and prosperity. The Globe will be published daily during the session of Congress, and Weekly the remainder of the year, and will undergo distribution in the form ot'a Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe and an Appendix. The Weekly Globe will contain Agricultural nnd miscellaneous articles ; and will occasion ally give debates of such importance as command universal interest. The price ofthe Weekly Globe is reduced to One. Dollar, with a view to obtain a more gene ral circulation. Subscribers who have, hitherto paid si2 per annum, will bn charged only $1 af ter the expiration oftlie first year. The Congressional Globe w ill embody, ns it lias done for the last sixteen years, Congression al piocecdings and debates exclusively. The Appendix will embrace the revised speeches separately, and the messages *>f the President of the United States, and the reports of the Heads ofthe Executive Departments. The Congressional Globe and Appendix will be published as fast as the proceedings of Con gress will make a number Subscribers may ex pect one number of each a week during die first four weeks of a session, and two or three num bers of each a week afterwards, until the end of the session. Each volume will probably com prise two thousand royal qnarto pages, of small type. Complete Indexes to the Congressional Globe and Appendix will be sent to subscribers soon after Congress adjourns. Nothing of a political party aspect will appear in the Globe save that which will be found in the Congressioha! reports. A paper assuming to be an impaitiai vehicle for all sides, cannot maintain its character if the editorial cola-inns reflect a party hue.

City and County of Xrw-Vorft, si. William Armstrong, of the said C.-itv, being duly sworn, doth depose and say that he is a practical Druggist and Chemist. That some time in the latter part of May, or first of June, 1843, a man by the nam6 of Jacob Townsend, who at that time was a book and pamphlet peddler, called upon deponent, at the house of Mr. Thompson, No. 42 Iludson-street, where dopo. nent boarded, and requested deponent to write him a recipe by which to make u Syrup of Sarsaparilla. Deponent further says, that he became acquainted with said Townsend at the office of Theodore Foster, F.‘q., book Publisher, with whom said Townsend dealt. That said Townsend had had frequent conversa tions with deponent respecting the manufacture of an article of Sarsaparilla to he sold under the name of Dr Jacob Townsend. That said Townsend stated he was an old man, and poor, and was not lit for hard labor—and wished to make some money, in order to live easy in his old days, and that, if Sarsaparilla under the name of Town send sold so well, and so much money was made by it, he could see no reason why lie might not make something out of it too, (his name being Townsend,) if he could get a capable person to prepare a recipe, and manufacture it for him. Deponent in one of the conversations asked said Townsend if he was related to Dr. 8. P. Townsend, to which he replied, that lie knew Dr. 3. P. Townsend would be down on him after he should commence. But that he did not care for him. as he had formed a co-partnership with men who could furnish the requisite amount of capital—and was well prepared to defend himself against any attack that might be made on him. Deponent Anther says, that pursuant to the request of said Jacob Townsend, lie wrote a recipe for the manufacture of a S\ rup of iSarsaparilla, ami gave it to him. Said Townsend observed that he wanted to make a specimen to exhibit to his partners lor their approval, as he wishe 1 to gratify them in every thing, as they furnished all th« capital -said Tow nsend al>o told deponent that the bottles they were to use were to be of the same size and shape’as Dr. S. P. Town semi's, and deponent, at the request of said Jacob Townsend, went to the office ol Dr. 8 P. Town * uJ, and procured one of his labels.

Old Dr. Town-end is now about TO years of age. and has long been known a* the AUTHOR and DISCOVERER of the GEsYULYE ORIGLY.JL “ TOHJYSEJYI) SAR SAPA RILLA.'' Being poor, he was corn polled to limit its maiiufattNre, by which means it has been kept out of mar ket. and the sales circumscribed to those only who had proved its worth, and known its value. It had reached the ears of many, nevertheless, as those persons who had been healed of sore diseases, and saved lrom death, pro claimed its excellence and wonderful HEALING POWER. Knowing, many years ago. that he had. by his skill, science and experience, devised an article w hich would be of incalculable advantage to mankind when the means ' would be furnished to bring it into universal noUce, when its inestimable virtues would be known and appreciated. This time has come, the meins are supplied ; this GRAXD AX'D VXEQCAJA.VA> PREPARATION is manufactured on the largest scale, and is called for throughout the length and breadth of the land, especially as it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration. Dnlike young 8. P Tow nsend’s, it improves with age. and never changes, hut for the better: because it is prepared on seintt'fir. principles by a scientific man. The highest know I edge of Chemistry, and the latest discoveries of the art. have all been brought into requisition in the manufacture of the Hid Dr’s Sarsaparilla. The Sar»apaxill:i root, it D well known to medical men, contains many medicinal pro pertit*'-, and some properties which are inert or useless, and other<. which if retained in preparing it l'or use, produce ferment >tion and arid, w hich is injurious to the system Bome of the properties of Sarsaparilla are so volatile . that they ent relx evaporate and are lost in he preparation, if they are not preserved by a scientific process, know n only to those experienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these volatile principles, w hich fly off* in vapor, or as an exhala lion, under heat, are the very essential medical properties •if the root, which give to it all its value. Any person can boil or siew r the root til! they get a dam eolored liquid, w hich is more from the coloring matter in Die root than from any thing else: they can then strain this Insipid or vapid Mquid. sweeten with sour molasses. •nd then call it “SARSAPARILLA EXTRACT or SY- Ul’P." But rjch is not the article known as the GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S SARSAPARILLA. This is so prepared, that all the inert properties of the Sarsaparilla root ire first removed, every thing capable of becoming acid or of fermentation, is extracted nnd rejected : then every ( article of medical virtue is secured in a pure and conceutrated form ; and thus it is rendered incapable of losing any of its valuable and healing properties.

UILE so much is l.eing suit! and done by W b Gentlemen of a different persuasion, for the purpose of elevating their profession in the public estimation ; while societies are being formed all over the country, and resolutions pass ed declaratory ofthe superiority of their system, and denunciatory of all and every other ; while the prejudices ofthe past arc being aroused, and the fears ofthe future are being appealed to ; while legislative aid is being invoked, and ad verse interference denounced ; while the freedom of speech and of opinion in professional men, especially of those of the “sacred profession,” are endevoured to be curtailed, and their con duct in givingconteuance to other systems de nounced as "painful and mortifying while, in line, they arc placing their dependence for ele vating their profession, on societies, resolutions, denunciations, prejudices, fears, legislation, &e. &.c.; be it the pride, the happiness, and the glory of the undersigned, to put his trust in that which is far more substantial— 11 1/tc results of his practice." These are his dependence, and to them lie looks for that “professional” elevation to which he aspires ; and judging oftlie future by the past, he lias every reason to believe that lie will not be disappointed. Influential bodies tuny rail, ridicule, and donounee ; legislation may place its ban and promulgate its anathe mas ; individuals may scandalize, backbite, and traduce, but “facts are stubborn things “Are clirils that wirina ding, And dar na be disputit”— One of which at any time, is worth a thousand arguments. On them lie has laid the base, and on them lie expects to raise the superstructure ; and in accordance with usage, will still append more to the list, already bes >re lit: public. The following letter is from the Rev. John \V*. IMilis of the Florida Conference, of the M E. Church South ; who without the fear of the j Faculty before his eves, dares their rebuke and accusation of guilt of“painful and mortifying” j conduct, and boldly gives his experience to the! world. It is too late in the day for men to I school themselves into tlic repression of their convictions : (irixey, Florida, April 10lh,18l0. Dr. M. S. Thomson —Dear Sir : Willi inex pressible gratitude, 1 drop you these lines, fe’inco I received your Medicines, and commenced fol lowing your prescription, my health is so im proved that I do not now feel the least symptom? of disease, inv morbid appetite left me on the commencement of taking your medicines: every tiling 1 eat now agrees with me, and lain satis fied with a common meal. My Spleen was very much enlarged, nnd my kidneys failed to do their office when I last wrote you, but these are now corrected The miserable restlessness that was tnv lot of nights, has left me, nnd 1 now sleep swcetlv ; indeed my whole system is regular and easy. So sudden was the change,that my friends, (those of them who did not know that I was taking your medicine,) were astonished on meeting with me at the improvement in my health. When I compare my present condition with my miserable condition a few months ago, 1 can not express the gratitude 1 feel toward you. I now enter into conversation with life, ns I once did, and the same zeal that once burned in inv heart for the Church has been kindled afresh, with my mind freed from that gloom, ieiactirili / and furgetfulness, which disease had engendered, and I yet hope to live long to preach the uni searchable riches of Cubist. I have yet some medicines left, Stc. I am, dear sir, votirs grate fully, JOHN W. MILLS. Tersons desirous oftesting the efficacy oftlie.se remedies in their own cases, no meetirr where they reside, can do so very conveniently by send ing their age and symptoms in writing as correct ly as possible, when medicines to suit their va rious cases will be compounded and sent by- moil, express or private hand. In order that ali. may partake of the benefits resulting from the j use of his remedies, his charge for the treatment ofsuch cases as do not require his personal atten tion, will he only Vice Dollars a month, which may be sent by mail at his risk. Acute cases, and those requiring personal at tention, will be charged in accordance with the established rates of other city Physicians. The inconvenience of having little sums scat tered ail over the country has induced linn for the future to have his tqrms rash, or when that is varied from, it must be with the express orom ise of honorable payment at Christmas, without subjecting him to the trouble and expense of col lection.

STATEMENT: In September, 1845, I was attacked with All ma, w hich continued to return at intervals, nior« or le.-s frequent, for two years. I applied I* some of the most eminent mineral physicians i* the State of M ississippi, where I resided, W without benefit—for I continued to get worst" so much so, that from Ist September, 184*,' had an attack every night, with only five esf'p" lions, till February, 1849. During this iongpt" riod of nearly eighteen months, my con iilioa Was one of terrible suffering, compelled as l was, to sit up almost all the time trying to my breath, which every minute seemed ** *f ll were to be the last; indeed, I have been forW days at a time that i dared not place my j ie " iipon a pillow, wheezing and breathing W * manner to have been beard over a hundred yards- Having exhausted the skill and means of l ' 1 * Allopathic practitioners, like a drowning W catching at straws,! resolved to employ ft Hois"* opatliic Doctor, who for a time, treated myc* 1 *' hut alas ! he also fulled and left me in the very depths of despair.
