We return our lhenks to those kind
fri.nds who have lately taken such active
steps to aid US in extending the circulation
of the Gazette. We % assure them that
by continuing their forts. our subscrip-

soon be greater than any inland paper In
the State. We feel grateful for the num-
ber added TO our lis, last week. anisnre re-

In regard 10 tho mode Of cuitivsswg
the Mastoden, will observe, that m1ks
no difference between il and the couamoe
cotton. | give it the same distance and
the same cuhiya.ion. The. gin for the
Mastodon should have wsder gates than

einned on the roller gin as some purcha-
sers and cotton brokers have suggested, IN
consequence # its strong adherence to the

...Upon the subject of the value and
oualav of the Mastodon cotton in market.
Il would not become me to offer any views
Of nv own. for the nPiaion Of others much
better qualified to Judge. are within your

of rema rkable strength and firmness-

Mastodon ever raised in the United States
a part of this was sold few weeks since in
New Orleans by Buckner 81 Ssanto n,
at l6 ceass round Other little parcels
have been sold at various prices, ranging
as low as l2 | g cents. Thess cottons. as
far as know or am able to iesrn, were all
handled in the common rough manner,
without any special pains taken. My own
l can aver. was both picked and ginned
very roughly. Il 10 believed. moreover .tba,
in consequence Of the sudden and unexpec-
ted introduction Of small lots of long sta.
pie into the New Orleans market, where
short staple alone has been looked for and
purchased, the Mastodon has not, as yet,
been able to assume fair position ia the
market and command the price it was
really entitled to. Next year, it is pres.
umed. it will establish for itself rnarke in
