During the Doctor s excursion to Scotland,
Boswell generally preceded him in search 01'
food, and, being much pleased with an inn, he
went into the larder, where lit* saw a fine leg
nf mutton, which he ordered to be roasted,
and gave particular orders for a nice pudding.
On his arrival the Doctor got oli'his pony, and,
finding his coat damp, went into the kitchen,
and threw it on a chair before the fire: lie
sat on a hob, near a little hoy who wjs busy
attending o the meat. Johnson did not like
the appearance of his ho*d, and, upon the
Iniy’,? scratching‘thought he saw something
i-i! upon the mutton. The dinner being
ready,the Doctor fell eagerly to work on the
pudding, ;; ! left the meat for Boswell The
tilde I -eing cleared, Boswell said, “ Doctor,
v.-hile 1 was eating the mutton, you seemed
frequently inclifted to laugh; pray tell me
■what tickled your fancy.” The Doctor I hen
told him ali that passed at the kitchen fire.
Boswell turned pale end sick, and su ; d to the
hoy; “ You little filthy hound, when you bas
ted the meat, why did you not put on the cap
.1 saw you in this morning ?” “1 couldn't,
Sir,” replied the boy, “for mammy took it to
boil the pudding in.” The Doctor gathered
up his Herculean frame, with his mouth
irid“ open, and stomach heaving: at last he
recovered bis breath, and roared out with
the lungs of a Stentor—“Mr. Boswell, sir,
Jcave off laughing, and, under pain of my c-
Urnui displeasure, never utter a single sylla

ON TIIR CULTURE OF CLOVER AND
COTTON ; by John JJ Calhoun .
“Pendleton, August, 1331.
I have been unpardouably negligent in not
replying to yours dated some time back ; va
rious occupations, and the usual disposition
to procrastinate, added to a great a version to
writing, and a still greater to appearing in
pri.it, must plead my excuse. Ail of which
you will ..ay, is fudge. Be it so.
You request that I w ill give the result of
my experiments in the culture of clover.—
The time of sowing, preparation of land, pro
duct, iiadnumbct of cuttings obtained in the
season, also its duration, Ate.
1 think the beginning of October the best
time for sowing the seed, as the plant will
take sulTici nt root during the winter to give
it an early start in the spring, and enable it
to stand the heat oi tiie sun of the tollowing
summer.
Tiie land should be rich, or made so by
manure. 1 would prefer the north slope of a
hill, ora piece of pretty good land, near a
water course, for an experiment. It should
be ploughed very deep, two or three times if
necessary, or until the ground is perfectly
mel'-.iw, and thoroughly pulverised. The
seed should be mixed with a little earth, or
ashes, that it may be sowed more regularly
(about a gallon to the acre,) and brushed or
harrowed in lightly. I prefer the former, as
it leaven th© ground more smooth and regu
lar.
• I cannot state actually the product, by
weight, having used mine, as yet principally
for pasture, cutting only partiailv for seed.
If tiie season is wet, two cuttings may be
obtained in the year; the first heavy, ami the
last light. As to its duration, I can as yet
sec no limit. That part which formed the
subject of a former communication, is still
growing finely, and 1 believe without dimi
nution, if I iiud not pastured it too closely
when young. The last spring, (so unusually
; backward, and all vegetation *u completely
.checked, except the clover,) I was induced
to suffer tho milk cows, and mares, and’colts,
ito mn upon it too lo.' , 'r foi a good crop of liav;
I yet borne has been obtained.
I am inclined to think That in our climate
it may be continued almost any length of
time, by giving it a top dressing ofjuafltire
every spring, and keeping down noxious
weeds. 1 find aridity its greatest enemy, be
ing a very succulent plant it requires much
moisture, therefore deep ploughing and ma
nure, or land naturally rich, are essential to
its successful cultivation. So little attention
ha" been paid to the cultivation of grasses,
with us, that it is thought that time is
thrown away, which is devoted to this object,
every farmer considering how he shall most
easily destroy, rather than produce it. Hence
the common practice of selecting a piece of
ground, for this purpose, which is 100 poor to
produce any thing, the surface is lightly
scratched over, the seed scattered very care
lessly, and as thin as possible, the object be
ing to make the most of a little. The con
sequence is that the weeds get the start, the
grass is only to be seen here and there, if at
all, and the whole product as good a growth
of weeds as the poor soil could produce by
its own feeble effort. The experiment is a
bamloned, and it is thought impossible that
the foreign grasses can be grown in our cli
mate.
Ihe late ► Judge Peters, well known as
a practical farmer, justly said, in reply to a
coinlTiuiiiCttlion recommending a jxructs as
growing well on poor land, “It could not be
worth cultivating, as nothing, good grew on
poor land.”
1 am sorry to say that my experiment with
sugar cane, of which you inquire, has failed :
the severity of the last winter destroyed the
seed. This 1 regret, as the cane was obtain
ed from the highest point on the Mississippi
that it is cultivated, and would have been
most likely to have succeeded here. I am
by no means satisfied that it would not have
succeeded to a certain extent, if the seed
had been preserved w ith more enre. If mo
lasses alone could he obtained, for plantat.on
use, it would be worth the culture.
In a former letter you asked my opinion
of the cause of rot in cotton. I have not beCn
inattentive to the various theories advanced
on the subject, Ifut as yet have come to no
settled conclusion, as to the true, cause.
I iie commonly received opinions are, that it
! .‘ produced by an insect, by atmosperic ac
tion, or defective seed. That it is caused
by an insect I-do not believe, but have long
thought that the insect was the consequence,
and not the cause of the disease. That it is
the result of atmospheric action, my obs^rra-'
tion lias - not been sufficiently minute to de
tect. i hut it is in part owing to defective
seed, I have little doubt: but that it is main
ly caused by defective cultivation I am more
inclined to believe.
Before the price of cotton advanced con
siderably, I am not aware that the disease
existedas soon, however, as it enhanced in
va.ue, and the cultivation became more ex
tended, we heal’d of its ravages, first in l/ou
&iana, where the most extensive cultivation
commenced, and thence on to our own State ;
from which I infer, that ns the quantity
grown to the hand increased, so was the cui
ttvation more negligent. Residing in part
of the State whicii has been thought uncon
genial to the grow til of cotton, believing ,| lat
one acre well cultivated, was worth two” that
were otherwise,and that good cultivation, in
dictously bestowed, would. accelerate the
grov.th of the plant, and ciertake the season
I have planted much less to the hand than is
usual. I notice being admitted to bo better
ban theory, 1 will give ycu my mode of cut
t'vntton, with the result, from which vou can
draw your own conclusions.
-s soon as my crop, is housed, which is
generally about CListmas, a large furrow is
opened by a two horse liarshare, between the
cotton rows; in this furrow the stalko arc
hrm.en and laid on where there -vo poor
spots 5 stable manure is hauled -nil disfribu-
J his being done, throughout the fid’
lc,, ’ s?ae kind of plough fid! us, and throws
two furrows on the stalks and manure. In
this situation it remains until about the last
of March, when two m.-re furrows are thrown,
one from each side, on the same ridge.—
About the miodle of April, which is my
time for planting, a trench is opened by a
bull-tongue or gofer plough, about rive inch
es wide, in which the seed is drilled tolera
bly thick ; it is then covered by a board at
tached to a common shovel stock, with a
notch cut in the lower edge, directly over the
seed, to prevent their removal. A roller
made of a pine log, about one foot in diame
ter, embracing two .iriges at a time, and
drawn by shafts, completes the operation of
planting- The Inst 1 consider of decided
advantage; cotton will come up several days
sooner, stand better, and look much more
healthy than when it is not rod and. 1 use a
heavy roller always for my small grain, one
that requires two good mules to draw. My
rule is, in preparing for planting, to break the
land as deep as a two horse bar-shr re can do
it, turning under all tiie vegetable me'ter
tin.'. may be on the surface: hut in cultiva
ting, to plough lightly, so a io di.turbor ex
pose the depositeas litLe .-3 possible, to the
action of the sun. 1 ;tsc an .instrument which
I call a scraper; I believe it something like
what isc .lied a buzzard plough in Georgia,
it docs tiie work of a hoe, by horse-power,
and in such land as I cultivate (light iVin
glass river .and) or loose upland, free from
roots or stumps, is not surpassed by any im
plement that I have ever seen, for the neat
ness and expedition with which it operates.
I use no o : her plough in niv cotton fields, in
|an ordinary season. I think the perfection
of cotton culture is in the hoc; but if any
other instrument is used, it should go inert lv
deep enough to kill the grass. 1 have seen
more cotton injured than benefittcfl by
ploughing too deep, & particularly late in the
season.
Without going more into detail, the above i
is tlic course which I have pursued steadily
for ten or twelve years. Now for the result.
1 make fro a 700 to 1000 lbs. of seed cotton
per acre; one field of 20 acres ! as failed but
once in six years, to yield 1000 lbs., and 1-
year it produced 1200 lbs. per acre- In the
whole time mentioned, Ido no- believe that
in any one year, I have lost a bale of cotton
by rot. When my neighbours lost from aim
half to two thirds of tlieii cotton by rot, I had
little or none. Mentioning my excmtition
some years back, when tho rot was commit-'
ting great ravages, it was thought remarkable,
and many were desirous to try iny seed, in
Hopes io avoid the evil; but 1 have never
k-ord, on t. :al, that it had onv preference.. 1
once sent a waggon load to Abbeville dis
trict, which was plautcd in commo . with a
large crop to the hand; it rotted excessively
the first year, and was abandoned • or mingled
with the other seed.
I neve'plant from the first or last picking,
in both of which they are a great deal of-pre
matme opened cotton, and defective seed.
It has been often said, that the black Seed
was less liable to rot than the green; mav
this not be owing to the neater and more cere
lul cultivation of the hoc. £ have never
seen cotton worse rotted than the black seed,
under bad cultivation; I doubt, therefore,
whether it is less liable. It is an opinion 6t
many practical farmers in this country, that
blast in small grain is occasioned by seed
cut before the grain is perfectly ripe. May
not the rot be produced, as probably from
the seed of cotton prematurely opened. In
all the latt- r bolls near the top of /he stalks,
not more than half grown, and forced open
after a frost, the seed is very defective; nnd'i,
should suppose incapable of producing healthy
vigorous stalks.
I am glad to find that a spirit of inquiry is
abroad, on the subject.of grasses. Tlere is
r.o part of our system of husbandry mere, de
fective, and noise more important. Nothing
aetdo more to the comfort and indeperdcnce
of a farmer, than a plenty of fine, fat stock,
which can lie obtained by attention to tlie
cultivation of grasses.
With Mr. Darker, clover must succeed
well. I have always thought his neighliour
iiood peculiarly well adapted to its growth.—
We have the supposed gatna grans mention
ed by .Mr. Ellison, but it has not bet n atten
ded to. Walking over a rice plantation on
Cooper River, more than twelve months since,
I observed, for the first time, its growth on
the cross hank. It immediately occurred to
me that it might be planted to advantage on
the sides of the river hanks, as giving
strength and solidity to the loose soil of
which they -"re composed. It has the strong
est and most closely matted roots of anv grass
that 1 have seen ; it is very hardy, and easi
ly transplanted. When f first obt fined it, l
was pleased with its luxuriance, and fbecase
with which it might be extended, and wished
to make a lot in my low ground*, but was de
terred, from the formidable appearance of the
roots, which I feared might, some day, give
trouble to eradicate. This difficulty may
easily be obviated in the rice lands, a: wa
ter would soon destroy it.
I once thought of entering the list,cf.-1
backing Colonci Si-vikirts on the advantages
of horizontal plougliing, in the controversy
with Mr. Ellison ; but as Faistaff s expression,
that “discretion was tlie better part' of val
our;” occurred to me, 1 dcsiitcd. 1 will not
now cross-/iirroto and gully the lair work
which has been accomplishes:, as it appears
from Mr. Ellison’s last communication, tli. l
their differences have been horizon? kbsed.
Very respectfully, Arc.

“After elr. Anderson had been withdraw:,
a most tremenduous shout was raised Vie!
lory, “ victory, ’ dec. issued apparently feem
four fifths of the audience—flags were hung
out—one of which had a representation of
Anderson, and the mate knocking him down
with the words
\ ot: damned toe Yankees did void
Ilia short time the curtain raised for tie
fare * to go on, the play being abandoned®
soon as Mr. Anderson was withdrawn. This
noise among the audience, and the pc ling
with oranges, apples, &c. still continued tl
intervals, hut without any apparent aim. In
a short time it increased, amidst cries that
“ the friends nf Anderson make the noisjc."
This Shout es-Mtod the rest of the audience,
and in a few minutes it was a general uproat
again. Mr. Barry now in high favor, was
perplexed; attempted to speak, amidst erbs of
“goon,” whiell he supposed alluded to the
play. The force went on, and the tumult
broke out afresh. The curtain then fell,and
Mr. Simpson then made his second appear
an"-". It vvas some time before lie was heard,
“ Ladies and gentlemen,” said he. This
created a general laugh, tiiere being r.o ladies
present, Mr. Simpson smiled. A general,
good humor prevailed, but it was soon inter
tupfctl. Mr. Simpson addressed them—
“ Gentlemen, it is now two and twenty ycais
that I have had the honor to appear before
you; and if in all that time I have any indul
gence of an American audience, let me have
it now.” To u shall have it—you shall have it,
but sand out Price,” ..said several voices.—
“Why?” “Why?” asked another. “Wcivant
to hiss him—we want to send him oli with
Anderson.” Mr. Simpson continued—“ 1
have been tol l that an organized mao is here
to night, and that f'- -ir object is to injure the
property of the theatre.” Deep hisses, with
cries of “No,” No.” “I do not believe,” said
Mr. Simpson, “I do not believe tl-tan Am6r
ican audience would do any such thing. Vs
arc unprepared —wc did not teas! nor haectc
any extra police —we throw ourselves on the
cod feelings of a New York audience fori:-
uulgence and protec'ion.
The shouts and tumults appeared to subside
for some time. Mr. Simpson retired, but a:-
soon as the curtain rose the disorder continu
ed. What does the molt want?” cried many
“It is no mob,” said another. The disordci
still increased, hut it was very difficult tc
know wh.it was the object of the audience.—
Si oral fights took place in the side boxes-
Justice Lownda and his Police officers r' lla.'
out one man from the centre he”,—and ager.-
erai running eontrorcisv was kept up by
groups from the top to the hot turn of th:
lions*. “I am an Englishman,” said a mar
in the third tier, “ and yvill knock down any
man who hisses Anderson.” A young man
from Pearl street walked up to him with arm
a-kimbo and hissed—the Englishman knock
cd him down, but instantly a dozen fists laic
him prostrate on the iioor, and a minute af
terwarda he found himself softly deposited in
the street. Every five minutes added to t!r
noise nd tunniit, and deep murmurs, uttcrct
against Price, and the Park management
It was very evident that the audience wen
dissatisfied with something else besides A* l '
