information relative to ti growth of cotton in India
has been made known lately by gentleman who
was engaged under the East India company IN s,
perintendlng the culture of native cotton. He is
| one OF ten American planters who engaged in
| 1910 at salaries of E400 year.
| He reports that, although the experiment has been
tried at great expense IN various parts OF India, II
| has proved complete failure. AT Bundecund, at
Goruckpore, at Dooab, Soomapore ; In the provin
ces OF Banda, Bundelpore, and at Surat; In almost
| every variation OF climate from the Hammaleyas
north, 10 the Mahratta Country south, the result has
been the same-unsuccessful
Mr. L. thinks that the two great obstacles to the
growth OF India cotton are the extremes OF dry and
wet weather The one bcats up by excessive ve-
getatlon, the other parches and suddenly stops IT, In
Central India not less than thirteen inches OF rain
requisite eleven inches must be followed by ia
mine In Bengal as much as seventy-six inches of
rain fall on average in the year. Insects o!
highly destructive kind, attack the plant without re-
medy
Ten pounds of clean cotton from American seed,
and seventy pounds from India seed, was the utmost
that their best exertlons could raise on an acre In
Mississippi over 800 pounds have been raised
In five years, II is thought, the best American
seed so far degenerates as 10 become totally unpro-
ducuve.
The same person considers the resources Of India
as much overrated The Government is vastly in
debt its revenue rapidly decreasing. The afghan
cost f13 000,0OO Salaries of officials are enor
nous and the whole policy extravagant. The coun-
try can never be settled by European population.
Troops march and frequently fight at night, and peo
pie are often compelled TO sleep without from exces
sive heat In this case natives are employed TO
keep away Jackals. Hyenas, and Wolves, as well as
to fan the sleeper. To these and to several other IN
terestng particulars, number of sage reflections
are appended relative to the glory and power of the
United States, and the future decline and fall of that
OF England.
CASE or FORGERY. "A case of forgery TO the
amount OF two thousand dollars, was detected by
the Banks In this town last week. Bosworth King, far
mer in good circumstances residing in onondaga, got
months since for the ostensbe purpose Of buying cattle
and sheep The note promptly paid at maturity and
short time afterwards, another note OF the same amount
with the same endorsers, a Mr.. Thompson and a MI.
King, discounted for the same ostensble purpose.
This note was also met at maturity On the 18th Of
August another note, with same endorsers for $1,000,
discounted at the Syracuse Bank for Mr. King and
suspicion whatever excited, but what the notes
and endorsements were genuine up to Thursday night
last, when some occurrence took place, BY which
Mr.. White, on Friday morning, was induced to speak
to OF the endorsers in relation TO it, and found
to his surprise, that he knew nothing OF it
Meeting MIR. Thompson soon after, the subject |
OF the note and endorsement was broached to 1
him, but he knew nothing of either. A messenger I
then to Mr.. King, who admitted the forgery, and
promptly secured the payment OF the note King was
mterrogated in relation TO the note on the Sana Bank
of $1,000 which he declared was given The messenger
returned TO Sana and found the note there like the
others, with forged names and endoisers King also
