.A1a,,AAA PLANTER

TUStIE demonslrat tiops in favor Uf this rpTise, A both in cry and couatry. are so marked and Hat terIng, thai the undersigned is induced [" hurry his arrangements SD aa to issue the hrst number at as early day as practicable.
 The leading object of the Planter, as its title ina dIcates, WIll be to advance the great agrlcuuIa h lerests of the South, and 10 ad as far as poss,nie the agricultural reform now in progress m Alabama The wish seems to be general among our planters tha' system should be adopted to lessen the production of cotton, which Is now ruling at rates below remuneraIing prize, that the value may thereby be enhanced. We have, however, little iaiih that any conventional arrangement be adopted to effect such object. But attsIn the end m ylew, shall urge upon planters the policy of diver'lng Ihe culture of other products, part of the labor bestowed upon cOllon and present for ther con sideraton those which hest suited to our soil and climate. At the time, on itself will re- ceve all the attention necessary to induce pains in it's culture, pickIng ginning, proper selection pi seed, maturing, etc. In this WAY, Is believed that in few years public sentiment may be so operated upon to result in lesseiing the quantity oI cotton raised IS well as improving the quality.
 The Planter wilIbe published weekly in the quario form, imperial sheet of good quality, new iype, and printed in supel for style To those ac- quainted with the New Orleans "Week!v Picayune," it will bn sufficient to say, the Planter will be made up m d similar form, to contain as much matter and he fully equal in neatness Of topography. About a third of the space will be allotted 10 the whole range of Agriculture and Horticulture, which will gIve a greater amount of matter than is contained m any periodical devoted exclusively 10 these subjects - The iemainder will be occupied with such topics as will give variety columns and interest all class es oi readers.
 | As objects of paraRount impoI tance to our agri- cultural, commercial and manufacturing interests, Geological Survey of the State, and iudicons sys. tem of Internal Improvements, will be constantly and earnestly pressed upon the consideration of the peo- pie and the Legislature. -=il. ., Commerce will also receive that attention which it's importance meri,s-undsr which head, full and accurate reports of the Mobile market and the cotton markets of the world will be given.
 The plan, in short, is to present in the most per spicuous and attractive manner, every thing that can be supposed to interest planters in relation to 10 which, all improvements and inventions in me- clanics, arts and sciences will receive suitable tiee and 10 render the publication still more accep- table, space will be appropriated to synopsis oi l the current news of the day.
 The friends of the enterprise are assured that eve " effort will be made on the part of the proprietor to render the Planter in all respects worthy oi pa tronaee; and as one of the means, arrangements are in progress to secure regular contributions, on the various topics embraced in ile plan, from competent | persons in different sections of the State.
 | The subscription is fixed at Five Dollars per an num, To be paid in advance. The puce may appear hgh but if the dimensions of the sheet and ihe amount and variety of matter are takeo into consi
 iteration, will be found tobe cheap the cheap- est agricultural publication ofthe day, whether week | ly or monthly. W. w MCGUlRE. | MOBILE, March, 1e45. ts
