more highly appreciated, or more frequently ex lulled, than at the North. And you remember when one of the valiant sons of our own beloved Stale, because of his many honorable and danger ous wounds, was obliged to leave the Army and seek the nursing care of his family, then in a Northern city, how cordially he was received there, and how the press of that city delighted in honoring him. This is as it should be. Sectional prejudices are, at all times, ruinous to the peace of this Union, and more especially at this time while we are engaged in a war with a hitter ene, my. The whole nation should he united as one man to bring the war to a speedy and an honorable close. And who doubts the sentiment of the peo- j pie with respect to it! The pouring in of volun teers from the North and from the South, from the East ami from the West, speaks volumes. As to heroes, 1 believe no nation can boast of more than our own, and they are from every portion of our country. Surely memory has not to be taxed when called on to name the heroes of the North! 1 lie days of the Revolution are not yet forgotten. The naval heroes of the war of 1812 will live “in story and in song” as long as lime lasts, for they hum- | bled the pride of the then “Mistress of the Seas,” our most inveterate enemy. I need not name them nor their birth places, for their names and their history are as familiar to all as though they were “written upon the arch of the sky.”— Nor need 1 speak of the Northern volunteers of 1812. Let the veteran Gaines tell of their valor. Let us come down to present times. Let us speak of the victories of the Rio Grande and of Monte rey. Who has forgotten the hero of Fort Brown, : who, on receiving his death wound, exclaimed,*’il j is well it was not a young man.” And then there | were Page and Chadbourne, Hawkins and Mans. \ field, Belknap and Duncan, Neither can we for get the gallant Blake, whose chivalrous as he rode along reconnoitering the enemy’s works, causing them to suppose that he was there chal lenging any one of them to a personal conflict; — nor the prowess of a Lincoln, whose sabre drank the blood of more than one Mexican in rescuing his friends from their unequal attack. And Mon terey —Worth was there, and so was the Knox (Duncan) of 1816; and how freely did the Mor ri.-ses, Fields and McAvits pour out their blood, even to the loss of life, in defence of our Southern frontier. There were no Northern volunteer re giments there, at any rule none north of Balti more; but then there was a volunteer there of Pu ritan birth, who gallantly led on to the light a gal lant hand of soldiers of the blood ol the Cavalier, Who has forgotten the brave Blanchare? Surely these men will ever live in the hearts of their countrymen, and 1 trust not as Northern heroes, but as patriotic Americans, whose motto, like a ; Winthrop’s, was, “Our country, no raalterwhat its bouadaries.” 1 have not w ritten this in a spirit of fault-find- j ing, but merely to call your attention to the re- | marks before mentioned, feeling assured that you had no desire to increase the sectional prejudices that now exist between the Northern and South ern portion of our beloved country; hut that you would rather use your influence (and as an editor it is immense; to a Hay these feelings, and to unite usas a people by cords of affection stronger than death.

DOUGH I 5 A. BEA Hi, Agents of Mr R. Abbey. As evidence ofthe superiority of the quality j I of the cotton produced trout litis Seed, we ap- | | pend the following correspondence: Boston PI.AN’T.ITIo.N, ) N«ar Yazoo City, Mi.. Sept. I, IB4G $ Dear Sir: The great attention awakened by j the introduction ofthe MASLODUN COT | lON int<» tin* United Stales, together with my : earnest desire that it may succeed in promoting i the interests of the South, may be a suliicienl ex cuse for this communication. The seed were procured (as I suppose) near the northern extremity ofthe Culfof California, where there are extensive uninhabited regions, and where Cotton of various kinds is sometimes found growing wild. Its transfer to therefore, (the same latitude) keeps it still in its native climate. That you may not he imposed upon in the pur chase of seed, it is proper tor you to know, that, with but two stalks growing tn 1842, i s cultiva tion in 1814, had not extended beyond my plan tation, rX) < pt in a single instance tn my neigh borhood. In 1845 it was first raised by others.— But its valuable properties not then being gen j erally known, it became much mixed and crossed, in many instances, w ith other cotton; and hence the vast quantities of mixed seed throughout the country And besides this, extensive frauds have been committed by the sale of quite differ ent kinds of seed, as “Alastodon.” A large com mission house in New Orleans has been exten sively engaged in this business, and many parts of tite country have become llooded with spurious seed. Should you wish to cultivate the Mastodon, \ou would do well to get seed that is genuine, ami it is nearly equally important that it be neither mixed or crossed with other cotton. 1 would also suggest the. gmJTest care in keeping your seed pure. To prevent it from degenerating, plant, in small quantities ot picked seed occasion ally, ti> use for seed. 1 have from the first taken the greatest possible care of my seed, and have my present crop grow ing entirely from picked seed. 1 shall put up my seed crop can fully for sale, with my name on each sack. They may be had in New Orleans of Buckner & Stanton and Hooper & Marye, in Mobile of Moulchin & Tevell, and shall also have agenciesin the principal places in Alabama Georgia and South Carolina. To secure my seed it should be especially inquired for. The Mastodon should be cultivated precisely as other cotton, except that it should have a lit tle more distance. The seed are very large and white. To obtain a high price for the cotton it should he bandied and ginned well. Bv taking the “Southern Cultivator.” Augus ta. Ga., SI per annum, you may learn more upon this important stibjeet. Almost any ot the South ern newspapers will Ire ot value to you in llt is re spect. Allow me to sav that my brut her. Vlajor M. L. Abbey, ut'C" , umbus, Miss., ami Air. D. F. Miller, of La., have, 1 believe, taken great pains iu preserving the purity ot their Mastodon cotton seed. Bv noting these remarks and circulating them { among your friends, you wtl* promote the inter ests ot cotton growers, and oblige yours, respect fully, R- ABBEY MASTODON COTTON.—From the fol lowing letter from one ofthe oldest and largest Commission Houses in Europe, it will be seen that thw well ginned Alastodon Cotton was worth in L.i erpool, at the lime the letter was written, from 1(1 to 20 cents a pound. The Cotton the \ letter speaks ot was ginned on the common gins, j It is now settled bevond question, that an arti cle worth double the price of our common Cotton, may be raised any where in the Cotton reigion, without any additional expense or labor. In selecting seed, care should be taken to got j that which is pure, as much of it is mixed with oilier seed. Alastodon seed are all large and white. LIVERPOOL. Sept. 3,134 G. R. Abbey Fsr/., Yazoo L ity, Ah : Sir We regret that in replv to ' our favor of August sth, we can give little satisfactory infor mation as to the uses ot Alastodon Cotton in our manufactories. Even bad a sufficient quantity gone into consumption, which there has not, the manufacturers would carefully conceal the uses to to which thev put it. and its value toFhecn, Os the quality and value of the Cotton in our market, we can gt\e a strong rind decided opin -1 ion. W e think its length ami strength and silki ness of staple place it ur xt below Sea Island Cot ; ton, trorn which i* presents no marked point of I difference, when not injured by ginning. This j is a most important point, because saw ginned Sea Island does not rank high in this market, ow ing to the staple being cut. The writer believes that he has seen every parcel of Alastodon cotton in the Liverpool mar ket. For some lOdtsasked. We sold two hales, dull in color, at Bd, and a rather large saie was made early in the season at 8J or 9d. Had we 100 bales of similar quality to the small hale of Mr. W. 11. Mercer, we (should ask 10d, and we have no vlou t a sale might be made readily at 9d. But you must bear in mind the parcels of a hale or two are difficult to place, the buyer mak ing rather a favor of taking them. The principal points to attend to arc first, fine ness, length and comparative strength of staple, which must not be injured by over-ginning or working the gin too fast, which converts valua ble cotton into a broken mass of fibres, expensive to separate and involving the loss of halt the Cot ton. Next to this, u line pink bloom is desirable, not too much ofthe cream color, and a degree of oihness in the qu ility of the cotton, making the sample si Ik v. These points at ained, the Cotton | would only be inferior to the higher quahties of Sea Islands. We remain you obedient servants, GEO. GREEN & SON. Jan. 13 —c 86 FLOUR AND CORN MEAL. BN US.
