This statement will appear startling. and per-

is composed Of two races--the Anglo-Saxon

must perceive what effects the progressive
growth of this population must have upon the

the point We indicated is reached. The rapid

A gentleman who has paid some attention to
the accounts given Of the prospects in regard to
the yield of the cotton crop, informed us yes
tsrday that he had heard from all parts OF the
cotton region, except North Alabama, and that
this years crop will be short one. by last
nights mail we received the Huntsville Advo-
cate, of last Friday, which says of the crop in
north Alabama: 1.-THE weather continues hot
and cloudy, with frequent and heavy showers
almost every day; and cotton is becoming in
jured by its continuance. The rain appears to
be very general all over the whole country.

To the Editors Of the Tribune:
The cultivation of Hemp is a simple farming
operation, as easily understood as the culture Of
Oats-a rich ioamy, friabie soil is the best; the
average produce in Kentucky is one ton from
three acres, but it is not uncommon to produce
ten to twelve cwt. 10 the acre
The great obstacle encountered in getting the
crop 10 market, i. the cost of Breaking. which
is estimated at Sl to 500 the ton, requiring the
labor of stout, able bodied men. BOYS, other
wise useful on a farm, make but poor Roadway
in breaking Hemp.
The inventive genius of man has been taxed
for fifty wears on the subject Of producing ma
chine, or implement, to lessen the cos, of break
ing Hemp, which the records of the Patent Of
flee abundantly show. MIR. James Anderson, u
highly respectable citizen Of Louisville, Ky,
has, for a number Of years, given his attention
exclusively to this subject, he being well ac-
qusinted and familiar with all the brakes and
machinery heretofore offered for the purpose Of
breaking and preparing Hemp. and after repeat
ed experimental trials on various plans of his
own conception, spending large sum Of money
in making these experiments, he at length has
hit, he thinks, upon the true principle Of con-
structing a Hemp and Flax Brake, and has made
a regular application for patent for the same.
This Brake is quite simple, not expensive in
construction, is easily made, and j. driven by
horse, wuter, or steam power. ~ mooet VI uis
Brake is left at the American Institute in the
city of New York, for the inspection of per-
sons taking an interest in such things, where il
will remain few days. The model will be- ex-
hibted at the State Agricultural Fair, to he held
| in this month ut Saratoga.
| Mr.. Anderson has also invented new method
of preparing Hemp or Flax expediriously fol
the brakes, differing in principle from any o.
the old processes Of dew or water-rotting. lie
uses an anfiseptic, in which the hemp or flax i
stepped a short time, Oess than one day. and n
