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. TELEGRAPH. From Washington. Washtxgtox. September 9.—Business is suspend ed and schools dismissed. Three was & fine military display. A careful estimate of the number of men in Avon dale mine is one hundred and fifty. At last accounts ninety bodies bad been recovered. Porter, Hoar and Grant leave northward to-night. The flags of Cnston-honses. throughout the coun try, have been ordered at half mast on Saturday in honor of Fessenden's funeral. Cox is absent with a sick child. Bontwell is ab sent. The remainder of the Cabinet is present and dined with Fish to-day. The Treasury Department reasserts that there has been no meeting aboard the Sabine. Information has been received that a amall body of Cuban expeditionists are detained at Macon, Ga. The Orphan Asylum. We are informed by th§ President of the j Board of Trustees, that there are fourteen op- phans of the male sex at the Asylnm now nearly naked—winter approaching and no funds in hand to clothe them. Tho President haa ad vanced SHOff—out of his private fnnds to carry the establishment through the summer and does not feel that he can go any farther. There is nny amount of second hand clothing which would make these orphan lads comfortable, bnt nobody will take time or pains to collect and send it in. Now, ladies and gentleman, be kind enough to delay no longer; bnt, as yon are overwhelming the wardrobes of yonr children for winter send the “oat grown clothing” to Mr.' E. J. Johnston, the Treasurer of the Board.— Let us wake up to the necessities,of these “wards of the city.” A very small per capitum contribution of money or goods will mnko them comfortable. 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. From Pike. —The Bamesville Gazette of yes terday, has the following npon the crops, weath er, etc.: We noticed last week, as we passed over a portion of Monroe and Pike counties, the cot ton fields were as white as is usual in November and December. All the cotton raised in this section will he ready for market by the middle of October. Pea crops are nearly a total failure. 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. A Disastrous Gale. Providence, September 9.—A gale last night prostrated tbe telegraph wires connecting with the cables. Tbe gale was the most severe one since 1315. The damage is immense throughout the State. Several lives lost Nearly all the steeplea arc damaged and one demolished. Probably one hundred buildings were unroofed. Many vessels are ashore. Tbe sloop Resolution went to pieces in Wickford harbor—two lives were lost The papers contain four or fire columns of the details of wrecks and disasters. From Virginia. Richmond, September 9.—General Canby issued a proclamation of election this morning. Gilbert C. Walker is to be installed Provisional Governor on the 21st inat; and John F. Lewis Provisional Governor on October 5th. The Legislature is called together October 5th. The following Wells' Con gressmen are proclaimed elected: Ayer, Platte and Porter, and the following Walker Congressmen: Sc agar for the State at large, Booker. Ridgeway, McKenzie, Milner and Gibeon. From Cuba. Havana, September 9.—Tbe Captain-General has issued a decree declaring salt and medicines contra band of war, and prohibiting their transportation into the interior without permits describing the contents and giving the destination of all packages. Sugar closed firm and unchanged. Operations limited, owing to the scarcity of classes demanded for shipments. Steamers Yazoo, from New Orleans, and Missouri, from New York, have arrived. Vermont Election. Moxtfelxeb, September 9.—The election was un usually quiet. The vote is amall. Republican ma jority 20.000. The Senate is unanimously Bepnbli- can. Tho Democrats hare four members in the House. _ General News. San Francisco, September 9.—Koopmansehop left to-day for a tour through the Southern States preliminary to his departure for China to procure cotton laborers. New York, September 9.—The Sun’s Washington special says it haa leaked out that the Sabine muti ny is true bnt the report of executions is false. Tbe Sabine has been ordered home to account for this mutiny. Three witnesses, sent by another vessel, have arrived in Boston. None bnt sailors were en gaged in the conspiracy. Tbe trial is to take place at the Brooklyn Navy Yard after the arrival of the Sabine. Zanesville, September 9.—A train coming from the West oollided with an extra engine, ono killed and two fatally wounded. Ayandall, I’a., September 9 Experienced mi ners have explored every part of tbe mine, bnt It is said two bodies are still missing. Tbe number of bodies recovered is one hundred and eight. Sr. Louis, September 9—The main shaft of the Warrentown Coal Mine has been banned. Fifteen men escaped more or leas hurt—one fatally. • Foreign News. _ Montreal, September 9.—An interesting case, involving much property, has been decided by the Supremo Court. The Court decides that a marriage with an Indian woman is legal and legitimates her children. Tbe children of a subsequent white wife are illegitimate. Leave was given to the de fendants to appeal to England. Haijtax, September 9.—Tbe steamer Hornet has been released. It is still believed that the Hornet is destined for Cuba, and will receive men and arms at sea. Tbe Fortunes of Brnnswick. 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.
