Extract OF letter from a merchant in

ent in the city of New-York.
Bear SIR" / am sending small
box Of sundries to my brother and have
put into it fer you small sample OF su-
car made in the interior of Georgia. 100
to $50 miles from the sea coast. 1t was
sent to me by respectable planter on
whose plantation it was made. He says
improved pine land is found equal to a.
nv other for the culture of Sugar Cane.
This kind of land is very cheap, it
may be purchased at from so cents to
1 dollar per acre, and is besides very
healthy. Such lands may be, and are
cultivated by white persons without any
Injury TO health. Woald it not be a
COED plan for the friends to send out a
colony to cultivate the cane; 1t would
|be a profit to the cultiyator, and those
who are conscientiously scrupulous OF
using sugar made by slaves might be d.
|bundantly supplied by their brethren.
