established by practical men, who are disposed
jo keep them up under all circumstances, we
highly approve. But such ihiucs will occa-

the indifferent to exertion. A few energetic
men in any society can do this, nay even one
can do it, if he can bu found.

of tins description, to keep it alive and make
it fulfil it* destiny, and to meet the expectation
of the public. When a great, stariug adver

And if alter such a mighty laboring of the

HISTORY OF COTTON.
The Inflowing from (lie New York Sun may
te interesting to people in this cotton region,
os shewing what can be accomplished by an
energetic ond intelligent people, in a few years.
As simple as the machinery of a cotton gin is
now, there are no doubt many who will read
this, who have heard old' persons tell of the
picket which surrounded the fitst one used at
Augusta, and how carefully all but the initiated
were excluded from witnessing i’a mysterious
opmi’mn of separating the cotton and seed.
"FlMT CoTTO.f FROM THE VwiTEO STATES —Mr. Rob

opinion that the »tnte from which it came (Georgia we be-
lieve) would produce two hundred hales the following

Eaglsnd annuatl*. In 1768. Mr Madison Writing to. hi*

We also copy from the Savannah Republican
tbe following antiquarian account of the early
use of cotton in other countries. Any one
who would read the account of the rise and
progress of the culture and consumption of
cotton, should read Mr. Seabronk’s essay in
pimphlct form, ttd Iressed to the Agricultural
Society of South Carolina.
REMARKS ON THE HISTORY OF COTTON.
Messrs. Editors—Although the general attention baa
oaly recently been directed to the calture and manutactar.
iag of Couon. the plant and its usefulness have been known
from a very early period. As far as our knnwled. e goes,
Cotton was first cultivated in Egypt, and waa carried by
the Phcenician* thence in Greece 'Malta, Sicilia, Italy ana
tain. At the tins* of Herodotus. Cotton was already im
puted into Greece from East India. The ancients called
rotton Byrrus, Xyioir. and Gnsaipinm, (Piinius Hist. Nat.
xix. l.) Thtir light stuiTs were principally made of Cot-
ton raised and manufactured in tiie Island of Trot; and as
veil among the Grcehs as the Romans, the female sex
Bsde use of them for their clothing. Men who uaefl Cot-
toe staffs for their dress were deemed effeminate. C■ a u-
dianai (ia Eutrop. i.) gives us a description of ecveral stuffs
of CaUon not unlike our Calicoes and chintzes. In the

Cottupfur their clothing, ind it «*»* then an object of the

fellowship jn Heiogna in Italy. In the Bank Forest in

COLLEGE EXPENSES.
We cony lhe following rates of charges at
•becolleges therein named, from tins American
Almanac fur 1S45, in wbicn all of the expenses
are specified. The compiler remarks—“ the

tabic to “ change,” to wit : B >.trd, wood,.

In our notice »«f the “Southern Cultivator,’*
on the 11th uli., we spoke in such terms of an
article in that paper, signed “Clodhopper,” as
has given offence to the author. We have
turned to our file and examined our article;
and we have attentively perused *• Clodi>0|»—
per’s” communication, which appears in this
paper, and we do not hesitate to admit that we
have committed an act of injustice to him. As
we freely confess our error in having supposed
his communication to have been written by an
inexperienced pphson, we hope he will as free
ly absolve us from any intention to have woun
ded his feelings.
As we had no possible means of knowing
who the author of the piece in question was,
we cannot be charged with any personality.—
And moreover, if we had known, it would have
been very lar from our intentions to have in
jured his feelings in the least degree. This
much we say in justice to Clodnopper; hs we
have maltreated him. When wrong we are
willing to confess anti ask pardon, and feel
proud in doing so. Injustice to ourselves we
will say that we never utter n sentence in oar
paper without a lull sense of personal responsi
bility. If we are wrong, and are made sensi
ble of it in a temperate and reasonable manner,
as “ C.” has made us, we are willing to ask
pardon i if we are right, we will persist in the
utterance of odf opinion and make such other
amends hs may be demanded.
We sincerely hope “Clodhopper” will be
satisfied with our apology, as—since knowing
him by his proper name—w*e entertain for him
nnd have entertaim d heretofore, the almost
regard, and consider him* tibh-, front his long
experience and practical knowledge, to inform
others with regatd to the business of agricul
ture. Here follows his communication:
(COMMUNICATED.)
O. H. PKIItCt—Sir .- ft so happened that your paper of
the 11th ult. did not renrh me until this week. This note
is to correct some inistakei.so far as I am concerned, t am
not so vain as to “imagine I have a facility for icriling,
nor have I ever felt “ an itching to say »omcftnr.g ia
print.’* Tilling the ground is my busine s. and u«t the use
of the pen. I atn an humble individual ; live a private life ;
nor have I ever aspired to »ny thing more. The onty objert
in writing in the editor of the t*oiitliern Cultiretor » a«, to
gel information which 1 tho't would be of use to me in iny
business.— That I have been so unfortunate as to “ lore"
the edi'or of the Ga Telegraph nnd other readers of that
'genus” is much regretted. No oCence was intended to
any one.
The Go. Telegraph is read by many farmers, who like
tny>elf. know but little about their pioi'essinn. If you will
give in yo jr columns the information asked of the Southern
Cultivator will be thankfully received by at least one- of
your readers . That information is the analysis of coYr,
wheat, rye, oats, and cotton j nnd the analysis of a perfect
•oil; the best breed 01 I ogs. rauio. nnd sheep ; and how to
treat them.—Information was desired nlso on the subject of
ponirry.—These are important tvauers to n.e; and I know
them to be so to the agricultural community. If you will
tell me "in print” "the truth, the whole truth, and noth
ing hut (lie truth,” on each nnd all these subject*, I will
promise never to "Lore” you atraiu about them; and that
Mr. Camak shall not be blamed again for the want of
"firmness necessary to exclud. my crude r*.in/<."

With regard to the questions in Agriculture
propounded, we are unable from want of space
to answer them satisfactorily. As t<> the anal
y sis of sails, we refer the « riter to “ Johnston's
Agricultural G'-ernisfry,” as being tin best und
cheapest authority we know of on the subject
which can be had nt lioardman's book-store,
in this place. As lo wheat, rye, oats, hogs,
cuttle, and poultry, we refer him to “ Loudon's
Encyclopedia of Agriculture,” a large work in

IVew iUuil Arrangements*
“ e ha»e the promise of extensive altera
tions in the mad arrangements, by which the
public are to he greatly benefited. It is said
that Cave Johnson has be<-n busily employed
since the 4th ult. in the examination.of the old
contracts, anil has discovered, what we have
always stated, that Mr WteklifTe was the
weakest Fosltnasier General this country ever
had. In Cave Johnson We are now in hopes
to find the most energetic and determined mind
that has yet had control of the Post Office De
partment. Il is staled that he has already
made arrang- meets lor the greatest expedi
lion in the mails ail ofer the Country. Ohe of
these arrangements is, that the eastern mail
which now leates Boston nt 4 o’clock in tlte
afternoon, will leave that city early in the
morning, arrive Imre at 5 o’clock in the after-
noun, start immediately for the south, and
reach Washington eariy tlte next morning,
thus saving twenty-four hours in going that
short distance. Another is, that the southern
mail is to close here utn Inter hour than it now
does in the afternoon,-and arrive in Washing
ton the next morning, and bn expedited at the
same increased speed through to New Orleans.
Another arrangement is, to save the two or
three hours winch have heretofore been lost in
Pltifjid*- Ipliio by the folly of Mr. Wicklifie, by
having the southoro mail leave that city at six
or seven in the motn ng insb ttd of nine o’clock,
as it now does; Tuese new and important
arrangements will probably go into effict cm
Die 1st of July next, und be carried out with
vigor.
There will be no humbug in the matter p for,
if we correctly understand Cave Johnson, the
contractors will be compelled to perform their
‘ time’ as per uuroement, or pay the penalty.—
They will not be perm ttod to tow brigs en
the great far west through her domain and
make' tier State Capital the gr.-at emporium of
the rich vailey ifthe Mississippi?
Wnen I contemplate tiie rapid phjgrdfft that
is made in intercommunication by Rail Road,
both in our own country and in Europe, my
mind is led back to the prophecy of Isaiah,
j where lie's tys,‘‘the voice of nim that criothio
the wi‘de>ness, prepare ye the way of tie Lord,
make straight in the desert a hignway for our
God, every valley shall be exalted, and every
mountum a> d hill shall he made low, und the
crooked shall he made straight and tiie rough
places plain, and the glory of the Lord snail
be revealed, and all flesh shall se“ it together,
for themouthof the Lord hath spoken it.” And
who shall say the hand of the Lord is not in it,
when tin east and the west, and the north and
the south s all b • united together by a band
ofiron, wljeu extended comm rce shall unite
