aborers won't do; the seasons won't d.;
The Mississippi seeds produces the o'd
Ecoarse East India cotton; and the drouglts
and rains must ever render the crop un
certain. A greater hunting was never
started. The idea that there will, in

ton is fallacious. The cotton crop has
mot vet reached its marimanl, is very true.
The present quantity prnduced will be
perhap ps hiplcd, in time, but there it must
tstop. The cotton region is not half SO ex-
tensive as superficial observers imagine,
and where it is extending in one direction,
it is circumscrbing itself in another. If
! ne lands are beng planted in Louisiana
and Texas, large. portions of Tennessee,
North Alabama and Arkansas are aban-

scarcely be cultivated north of Memphis.
Texas will never prove the formula
be rival that many apprehended. Her
south eastern frontier is very poor. Her
red Iais productive but not durable, ahd

M. EA,tor: BY giving publicity to the
following letter, you will confer favor on
those who feel an interest in improving
their stock of cattle. 1t is superf1uou' to
add that the great skill and acknowledged
success of Col. Hampton, in rearing tn.
sfinest stock in the state, eutltlr his opinions
to be regarded as ofthe highest authority,
and the liberalitv with which he. has COM
muncated the results of his experience:
entities him to the thanks Of the commu-

Nv Dear Sr,-Wlthout OBTAINING you
with an apology, for so long delay ia an
swering your favor ofth 3lst ult., | pro-
cecd at once to the subject matter ofyour
inquiries. All cattle imported from Eng
land, the North and the West, arc very
liable to he attacked by fatal disease,
which | take to be, an inflammation of the
brain.
Y.ung cattle from eight months to one
year old, are less subject to ii, than those
more advanced in life. If they survive
the summer aud autumn, consider them
safe, although great care should be taken
OF them the second season. They should
be brought into the State as early III the
fall as possible, kept in good growing con.
dtion throug, the winter, and in the
spring be removed to a high and healthy
position, have easy access to pure wafer
and the pasture as much shaded as the
nature of the ground will admit. In Au-
gust and September. they should be kept
IN cool stable during the heat of.the day,
and at night also the dew at that season,
3 being almost as injurious, as the intense
heat of the sun.
z With these precautions, | think more
than half would escape the disease, the
first indication of which, is usually Ian
guid appearance of the animal, followed
by loss rf appetite, short quick breath
ing, with more or less fever. and not un-
frequently accompanied l,y cough.

known the remedy tried, and in both,

suggestions shall be useful to you or any OF

VALUE OF CoTToN LANDS.
8 One cannot help observing the remar-
kablc concert with which the great tedcr-

tempting to demonstrate the capacity OF
the East India to supply the British cot
ton manufacturers with raw MATERIAL

can. are constantly arrayIng arg'lm mis-
and statistics, to- establish this greatest OF
all humbugs. They are striking tor a
Protective Tariff; that.is their sole object.
They wish to create the impression that
England is taking steps tn make heiselt
Independent of the cotton interest OF the
United states, that therefore it is the IN
t,.rest of the South to impose higher du-
ties on British cotton fabrics. anil thus, by
encouraging home manufactures, furnish a
domestic market for the consumPslon OF
our annual cr'ps.
The interest manifested for the cotton
planteris hypocrtica'. Every duty lad
by Congress is 50 much additional tax on
the planter. We produce the raw mate
~rial-consume the manufactured article;
we manufacture nothing in the South.
The greater the competition; the more
the market is stocked with foreign goods,
the cheaper shall we be able to purchase.
But let Congress impose such duties on
the products of the British loom as to ex-
c4ude them from our markets and the
eastern manufactures could not only de-
n,and what they pleased for their fabrics,
but by combination among themselves,
might at any time affect the price OF cot
ton.
AS to the ridiculous assumption that
England can obtain supply OF cntton
from her East India possessions, few
words will show its utter fallacy. Is this
attempt to produce cotton there, recent
one! Not at all, From an early period
after the conquest Of the country, the
East India Company always closely con-
nacted with the British manufacturing in
teresD spaerd no pairs to encourage the
culture of cotton. Bat after years Of trl-
al; after having shipped seed from Egypt,
Snth America and Carolina; and exacted
from the wretchedanatiyes all the care, at
ter,,pa and drutlgerY necessary to sue
cess. they could only praduce coarse
;nfarior, short staple cotton, OF the very
i,s,:st grade; and theirSimported seed
ran into the n lgenous plant; without m
creasing its staple or production. A.

FRIDAY MORNING., oCToRFR %, 1912
ELECTION OF SENATOR.

BY referring 10 the proceedings Of the
Legislature our readers will perceive that
the Hon. WILLIAM UPHAM, o! Montpelier,
was, on Friday morning of last week, cleo
ted a Senator to represent this State in the
Senate of the United States for six years
from aud after the 4ih of March next. The
votes stood, in the House Of Representatives,
for MR. UPHAM, l22, for William c. Brad
ley 100, and six scattering. In the Senate
the vote FOR CPnAM IS, and for Brad
ley II. Urham'> majority over Bradley,
scattering and all Is. The 6 scattering
votes were all Wigs. Mn. UpnAM's cleo
ton we have no doubt will give general sat
siaction to the people Of the State. HIS
competitors were the Hon. HORACE EVE
HErr, Of " indSor, and JUDGE CoLLAMrn, OF
Woodstock. But plurality of the Wing
members iavoring the claims of Mn. Ur-
HAM, the friends of the other two gcntlCmcr
magnanimously yielded their individual pref
erences and came in on the first ballot tol
the successful candidate. Thus were thl
hopes of the Loco Focos most sadly disap-
pointed. They had confidently predicted
such a division among our friends as woulo
prevent majority from agreeing upon eth
er Of the three candidates. But thanks tl
the integrity and patriotism of the Viii:
members, our gallant little State still pre-
sents an undivided and full delegation o
s,aunch and true Wings.
The election of Senator to fill the vacan
cy occasoncd by the resignation of judy
Prcntiss took place yesterday morning, am
resulted in the choice Of Ex-Goyernol
SAMUEL G.. CRAFTS. The vote stood as fol
lows in the Senate, CRAFTS, l6, VIM. c
