Mr. (.listin'* “Krug Acre” Again.
RESULTS OF DEEP CULTURE.
‘‘Brag acres,' so-called, are of consennence
chiefly as illustrating capacity of production and
the effect of differing modes of culture and dif
ferent fertilizers. In these aspects they are of
vast importance—as important ns the research
es and experiments in the laboratories of sci
ence and artistic skill, aro to the great busy
outside world of practical mechanism. They
guide it to intelligent and practical processes
and conclusions. Let no man, therefore, sneer
at “brag acres,” for, properly considered, they
are the school of tho cotton grower.
Our readers are aware that the acre of Mr.
Gustin, ahont one mile from this office, has been
cultivated in a, diur manner: which, at onr
request, has been described by him in a letter
to the Tei-egbapii, copied by almost every news
paper in the Southern country. This acre was
designed to display tho benefits of deep plouglt-
ing mid <l, p culture, ns contrasted with tho
popnlar plan of deep ploughing and shallow
cnlturo, which has received the endorsement
perhaps of most of the eminent cotton planters
of Middle Georgia ; but which Mr. G. contends
is opposed to all sound principles .of natural
economy in the snstentation of plants and the
most successful and uniform production of crops.
“ Deep culture,” says the American Horticul
turist,'' “ defies tho fortuities of tho seasons,”
and what we are about to relate will show that,
while the universal cotton crop of the Sonth is
now burnt up and withering under a scorching
sun and excessive drought, the system of Mr.
Gustin, as illustrated by this little patch, defies
both.
This patch, as the reader will remember, is
upon a little plateau with a gentle inclination,
upon a hill-side. The land was an old red clay
field. It was ploughed as deeply as possible
with a large Brinloy plough, drawn by four
mules, and subsoilod in tho farrow to as great
an additional depth as possible—in nil, mellow
ed to the depth, sny of eighteen or twenty
inches—broad-casted before and afterlhe plough
ing with five hundred pounds, each time, of
ammoniated superphosphate. Farrows six feet
apart checked off half the distance. Plants
thinned down to one. Stand a little defective.
Crop cultivated entirely with a horso-lioo and
“Mapcs’ Snbsoil Lifter," to the fall depth to
which it was originally plonghed and shbsoiled,
so that np to the time when the spread of the
branches and lateral roots precluded the farther
use of the subsoil lifter, the ground was so soft
and mellow that yonr foot would be well nigh
bnried in it.
So much to refresh tho memory of the reader,
and as preliminary to an account of a personal
inspection of this acre which we made yesterday.
We fonnd the crop as gTeen and flourishing as it
was in July last when we first saw it. It showed
not the slightest sign of disease or distress from
drought, although it has never, since planting,
had rain enough to penetrate the earth five
inches.
From top to bottom, except whoro broken by
tho weight of fruit, every plant was perfect. It
is now making forms and blooms and bolls as
busily as ever, and there is no apparent distinc
tion of top, middle and bottom crop—for the
whole seems to be overburdened with large bolls
as well as forms and blossoms, and will, wo have
not the slightest doubt, go on in the vigorous
work of production, till tho vitality of the plant
is destroyed by frost.
But what still more strongly displays tho effi.
cacy of this mode of cultnre in protecting tho
plant from tho effects of long-continued dronght,
is the condition of tho limbs and portions of the
stalk broken down by tho weight of fruit. A
considerable proportion of the lowest branche
is split off from tho main stalk, remaining at
tached to it only by a small portion of tho wood
and bark on the lower side, and resting prone on
the earth. But these limbs and their foliage and
frait show no signs of distress, and aro going on
with their work apparently just as well as ever.
Other stalks have been bent over like a coach
whip, as to their main stem, by the weight of
freight, and as the gravity of the bolls increased
havo given way—broken as to the wood, say
two or more feet from tho top, and remain hang
ing down almost perpendicularly, suspended by
the bark, in a more or less lacerated condition.
Now here was a situation in which, if any where,
the pendant top of the stalk and its fruit should
have Wen blasted by the hot sun nnd dronght—
but we detected no difference in their condition
from that of the rest of the plant or of nny other
plant in the patch.
We examined tho patch for dropped bolls and
forms and flowers, tint saw none—not one. The
whole crop is in jnst ns good and productive a
condition as it can be, and wo hopo every
planter or any other person who feels an in
terest in this great question of deep culture,
who has an opportunity to examine this bttle
crop, will not fail to do so.
It is a very pretty sight. Tho stalks are not
very high, but very stout—thickly branched and
spreading about three feet each side of the fur
row. The ground is well shaded—bnt owing to
imperfections in the stand not entirely so. It
has been picked twice, bnt the crop is htrdly
yet approached. The bolls are large, and all of
them five-lobed. The foliage is large and lux-
urant. and we repeat, that, excepting the mi-
tnrer aspect which vegetation of all kinds as
sumes in the fall, this whole crop looks as vig
orous and flourishing as it did early in July.
Mr. G. has been eradicating some of these
stalks for information as to their subsurface
growth. He finds none with a very long tap
root. This is generally a little over two feet—
but the lateral roots are surprising. Of these
he fonnd one six feet three inches in length,
which coursed down into the subsoil at a depth
of three feet and then struck for the surface
soil. These lateral roots shoot out innumerable
spongioles—each armed at the extremity with a
little horn shaped protuberance for extracting
sustenance and moisture from the soil.
The whole of this deeply pulverized soil has
become almost a net-work of these lateral roots
showing what provision bounteous nature makes
for the exhaustive tax upon the energies of the
cotton plant, which is called upon to produce
wood, foliage, bud, flower and fruit of all stages
of development at one and the same time.
Starvation—innutrition is the one all-embrac
ing source of disease in the cotton plant When
rains are abundant and timely and the other
general conditions favorable, fair crops will be
made with indifferent culture.
But where rains fail and the earth, being pul.
verized to little depth, is soon exhausted of its
moisture which is the only food-bearing medium
to the plant and the little coating of loose, but
Bun-dried and dusty soil is in no condition to
bring down from the atmosphere and up from
the snbsoil their watery resources, both by
principles of condensation and capillary attrac
tion, starvation comes and with it all manneT of
casualities and disease.
A great depth of well pulverized and disinte
grated soil, on the contrary, permits the roots to \
shoot out freely and boldly in quest of nutri- i
ment. The growth underneath is reflected and |
counterbalanced by the development above. The I
ground soon becomes shaded and kept cool by
luxuriant foliage, and thus a well prepared soil ;
is, in its own turn, protected by the crop to
which it affords ample nutrition and support. |
On the other hand, suppose the season should j
be too wet—then this deep cultnre is equally ef- ;
fieacions in protecting tho plant from an excess '
of moisture, and the land from injurious wash- i
mg, by vastly increasing the absorbent power of 1
the Roil.
We have protracted these remarks to an unde
signed length; bnt, sorely, there can be no
more important material topic for Georgia than
the "but method of cultitaling cotton. A system
which holds the crop in its highest productive
condition through such a dronght as this—a
drought which has utterly destroyed the pro
ductive vigor of the great bulk of the crop in
Georgia, Alabama and Florida—cannot be a
matter of indifference to the people.

Negotiations between tbe United
Stale* and .Spain Touching Cnba.
The New York Commercial Advertiser of
Monday evening, gives an outline of the nego
tiations which have taken place between the
Governments of the United States and Spain, in
relation to pesce with Cnba and the independ
ence of that island. The Advertiser says:
General Sickles submitted onr propositions.
The first rcqnired Spain to recognize the inde
pendence of Cuba. The second required the
Cabans to pay Spain for forts, custom houses,
and other public property, tho sum not more
than $ 100,000,000. The third abolished slavery
in Cnba. The fourth guaranteed the faith of
tbe United States for the falfillmentof the agree
ment by both parties. Some two weeks ago,
Mr. Fish received a reply to these propositions,
in which Spain proposed a new basis of settle
ment, 03 follows:
First—The Cabans to lay down their arms.
Second—Spain to grant a general amnesty to
the insurgents.
Third— Cuba to pay Spain for all the Spanish
property on tho island, ind for all the property
of loyal Spaniards destroyed by the Insurgents.
Fourth—Suffrage to be granted to all the
population of the island, so that tho people may
have an opportunity to decide whether they
will remain with Spain, or whether they prefer
to be separato and independent.
Fifth—-Spain will guarantee full protection to
snch of the Insurgents as may be selected to
como through tho Unes of the Spanish army,
for the purpose of treating with the represen
tatives of the Spanish Government for a settle
ment on the basis of these propositions. -
Sixth—The United States to guarantee to
Spain the payment of Cuba’s proportion of the
pnblio debt.
Mr. Fish replied, expressing the pleasure of
this Government that Spain had recognized its
offer of mediation, and trusting that Spain
wonld accent the propositions already made. He
mado no allusion to the substitute sent by Spain
—a substitute Cnba will not accept, as her rep
resentatives prefer the first basis. Mr. Fish is
hopefnl of the acceptance of his proposition;
bnt as the Spaniardshave not been kept advised
of tno negotiations so far conducted, Serrano
may not care to reveal the situation nntil after
the Cortes acts upon the question of the choice
of a King.
Another show of energy is made in the an
nouncement we have to-day that ten thousand
more troops are to sail to Cuba, four thousand
this week and six thonsandcoon after. Efforts
are making to induce volunteering in Havana.
The Cuban revolution has now been eleven
months ■ in progress, and though the Spanish
people have been assured that it is insignificant,
it still continues to be the great peril of Spain.
It draws soverely upon her treasury and upon
her army. It is wasting the very life of Cnba,
hut from the tenacity and obstinacy of the re
bellion, it is evident that Spain most give np all
hopes of suppressing it. It grows stronger and
more confident every day, while Spain grows
weaker and less potent to wage decisive war
npon it. That Cnba must be free is written in
tbe book of destiny, and if-her own arms do not
fully accomplish that event, the sympathy of
other nations will do it for her.
Tax festival of Juggernaut, says the Express,
has come to nanght in Hindostan. The natives
now langh at it. 'While they discard the horri
ble car, we ore building one np for ourselves
that will immolate more victims than ever that
did. It is tho Juggernaut of concentrated
wealth—the Juggernaut of capital absorbed into
an immense idol by a few. Its ponderous wheels
already roll and creak, and npproach thousands
of prostrate beings whom they will crush unless
the car is overthrown. ■ -
LoxosmtECT.—This reconstructed General has
written a letter in which he alludes to the esti
mate in which he is held by old friends. He
says that the good of the country is what he had
at heart, and claims that while he is politically
dammed, Virginia is commended for adopting
the very class of ideas and the very line of ac
tion which he two years ago saw and stated
was in the way of the inexorable logic of events.
California.—Agitation is commencing in Cal
ifornia to present the land question to Congress,
in order to have the legislation which is required
to bo done to utilize the public lands of the Pa
cific coast and give actaal settlers, small culti
vators, pre-emptors, and homestead claimants
an equal opportunity here with that afforded the
same class in the Western States.
Brigham Young states that “the Lord allows
people to lie for a good cause.” It appears to
us when reading reports of Kn-klnx outrages in
the South, many of the Radical papers are under
the impression that their prerogatives are still
greater and the Lord allows them to lie for any
cause.
Destruction in Morals are some times very
nice and impalpable. For example: Bonner
won t race or bet, bnt he has offered one hnn-
dsed thousand dollars for any horse that can
beat Dexter.
Melancholy.—Seven young men were cap
sized in a yatch and drowned in the Narrows,
New York, last Sunday.

and December. All the cotton raised in this
section will he ready for market by the middle

The weather for the past week has been cloudy
with occasional mists, but no rain of any con
sequence. The thermometer has not varied
much from 78 to 80 during the entire week.

The New York Tribune of the Gth inst. makes
this handsome mention of Brunswick:
A CITY TK THE SEA.
The Atlantic and Gulf coast of the United
States, from Hampton Roads southward, is re
markably destitute of good harbors. Those of
Wilmington, Charleston, and Savannah, are
well inland, and scarcely one on either side of
the Floridian Peninsula has adequate depth of
water at its mouth to admit a great sea-going
steamer or man-of-war. The best of them is
that of Brunswick, near the southern bound
ary of Georgia, formed by two islets near the
coast, with an inlet between them having six
teen feet water at low and twenty-three feet at
high tide. Inside, there is a depth of sixty feet,
with twenty-five feet at the wharves. No river
emptying into this harbor, it is salt as the ocean
and free from the decaying vegetation which
is apt to breed malaria in Southern estuaries:
hence, tho yellow fever has never been known
here. Pure, sweet water is obtained in abun
dance by digging through a thin stratum of
hard-pan into one of fine sand which underlies
this entire region. A fresh sea-breeze in Sum
mer seldom allows the mercury to rise above 94
degrees; while the winter temperature rarely
falls below SO degrees, which suffices for a frost,
but not for a freeze. Gen. Oglethorpe, the
eminent founder of Georgia, while ruling the
colonies of Georgia and South Carolina, desig
nated this as the only harbor on the Southern
seaboard fit for a naval depot; and his judg
ment, nearly a century after it was pronounced,
was ratified by our own Government, npon the
report of a board of its naval officers.
Yet Brunswick has remained a mere village to
this date, because no river brought the produce
of the Interior to her wharves, while a wide belt
of pine timber separated her from the populous
cotton-growing region one hundred miles above
her. Add to this, a railroad running south
westerly from Savannah to* Thomasville, pass
ing but 40 miles inland from Brunswick, and
sweeping to Savannah the trade of sonth-west-
em Georgia. Thus Brunswick has remained in
its shell to this hour.
But an important change is at hand. By the
close of November, the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad will be completed, connecting the
latter city a direct line with Macon, Atlanta,
Chattanooga and the Great West, while a cross-
line by Columbus (Georgia) connects this with
the line through Montgomery, Selma, Meridian
and Jackson, to the Mississippi, at Vicksburg.
But, in addition to this northwestemlv out
look, Brunswick has another line of railroad
in progress nearly due West through Albany
and Eufaula (Ala.) to intersect the aforesaid
at Montgomery, meeting there or at Selma a
new north-west line thence to Memphis. By
these roads, she will be rendered the most
convenient and accessible Atlantic port to a
vast and fertile cotton-growing area, whence
her receipts will be counted by the hun
dreds of thousands of bales; and her har
bor be crowded with vessels loading with cotton
as it already begins to be with vessels shipping
timber to various foreign and domestic ports on
either coast of the Atlantic. Ten years hence,
Brunswick will be among the foremost of South
ern seaports, with her lines of steamers to New
York, Havana and Liverpool, with a prospect
of growth and greatness whereof Baltimore af
fords the most striking premonition.

Wo havo much pleasure in expressing onr
high appreciation of Dr. J. A. HUNTER’S skill
and ability, as a physician in diseases of tho
Head, Throat, Lungs and Heart and consider
his methods of treating these diseases superior
to the means ordinarily employed.
We speak from personal knowledge and ex
perience, and believe his efforts here will sup
ply a want long felt in this part of the country,
and reoommend those who may require his ser
vices to give him a call.

Dr. Hnnter comes from New Orleans, where
he has a large practice daring the winter months
and has been in onr midst only about one
month, yet, within that brief space of time he
has established an enviable reputation, both as
a physician and gentleman, and we believe de
serves the confidence of the public. He has
undoubtedly, by improved methods of treat

succeeded in successfully combating a class of
diseases hitherto believed to be incurable, and
we trust that those who avail themselves of his
professional services during the remainder of
his stay here, will experience equally happy
results.
