VNHE Recommendations in favor of this enterprise.
 A both in cry aod cOaatry, are so marked md haa. iering, Ihai the ndetsigneds s induced to hurr. hs arrangeheats as to issue tbe hrst number al as early day us practicable.
 The leading ebect of the Planer, as it's lille in- dcates, will be to advance the great agricultural m. eresis of the South. and ,O aId, far as posshie, the agricultural reform now in progress Alabama. The wish seems to be general among our planters that some system should be adopted to lessen the production of cotton, which is now ruling at rates below a remdneraing prize, that the value may thereby be enhanced We have, however, little al'h that an, conventional arrangement Can be adopted to effect such object. But t0 attan the end in view, we shall urge upon planters ihe policy of divering 10 the culture of other products, part of the labor now bestowed upon cotton, and present for thelr sideraton those which are best suited to our soil and climate. At the time cotton itself will re- ceye all the attention necessary to induce more pains
 in it's culture, picking. ginning, proper selection of seed maturing etc. In this way, t Is believed that m few years public sentiment may be so operated upon as result in essehing the quantity oi cotton | rajSed as well as improving the quality.
 The Planter wiIIbe published weekly in lhe quarlo form, on an imperial sheet of good quality. new iype, aud printed in a superior style To those ac- uuanted with the New Orleans "WeekIv Picayane," !" it will bo sufficient to say, the Planter will be made up m d similar form, to contain much matter and , he fully equal in neatness of typography. About third of the space will be allotted to tle whole range | of griculture and Horticulture, which will give greater amount of matter than is contained ID any periodical devoted exclusively to these subjects = The remainder will be occupied with such topics as will give variety It's columns and interest all class es of readers.
 1 As objects of paramount mpoi tance to our agr- cultural. commercial and manufacturing interests, a Geological Survey of the State, and judcions sys- tem of internal Impro, emen,s, will be constantly and earnestly pressed upon the consideration Oi the peo pie and the Legislature.
 | Commerce will also receive thai attention which its importance merils-under which head, full and accurate reports of the Mobile market and the markets of the world will be given.
 The plan, in short, is to present in the most per- spcuous and attractive manner, every lining that can be supposed interest our planters in relation to to which, all improveme ns and inventions in ne- cllanics arts and sciences will receive suitable nu- tice md render the publication sill more accep-
