Nopru CApoJtN. CASToR Or

NORTH CAROLiNA SASIOR OlL.
Mr.. John F. Smith has established at
Newbern a mandatory of Castor Oil,
sufficient for the supply of all the south
ern states. A large quantity has been sent
to New York, which DR.. Osborn has de-
clared ola better quality than any which
has appeared in this market. Mr.. Smith
has extensive fields of the Palmi Christi,
which produces the oil, though he pur-
chases Of a few who have undertaken to
cultivate it.
The Medical Society of North-Caroli-
ma, several years ago attempted to encou-
rage the making Of Castor Oil; and we
have at different times asserted its practi-
cability with certainty of affording hand
some profits to those engaged in it. Mr..
Smiths undertaking has succeeded to the
utmost Of his wishes. and Castor Oil will
probably ever hereafter be ranked among
the exports of North Carolina.
Mr.. Smiths enterprise entitled him to
more than the thanks Of the community !;
but though he has doue much we would
recommend other objects to the attention
of his active patriotism. Our climate is
favorable to the growth Of Rhubarb, Sem
ma, Opium, Liquorice. and many other
medical drugs which are annually import
ed 10 large amount. If he could add
these also to our exports we should owe
more to those eXertions for which the
state is indebted so much. The expert
ment might easily be made. The Botanic
Gardens of New York and Charleston,
and the farm Of the Agricultural Society,
OF South Carolina, would furnish him with
envy seeds and plants which he might wish
to cultivate. DIR. Green, near Newborn,
we understand, has made Opium in consi-
derable quantities, but we do not know
whether or not he has satisfied himself
with the practicability of its being made
