CALIFORNIA.

A serious difficulty in the way If the
admission OF California as State, has not
received so much attention as it deserves.
1t arises out Of the magni ude If the ter
,itory. Texas is by fa' the largest State
in the Union, having FIVE or six times the
area of any o,her State But Texas was
n9t erected from Il terri ory, or Fl ON lands
OF the United States, Tut came INTO the
Union fully organized as sub>istisg SOW
ereignty; and it was deemed inn 0Itant
then TO make provision for the future d.
vision OF Texas into smaller States. The
area of California is g eatly larger than
that of Texas, by more than bundled
and twenty thousand square miles;
enough to make two St,!es large, than
the largest of the Western or Middle
States OF the Union. 1t is not likely that
Congress will surrender at once to a com
paratively few inhabitants on the Pacific
the sovereignty over territory enough TO
make nearly ten such States as Virginia
The utter impossibiily THAI so much space

PoMEsRANATE CorToN.--Since our last,
in which we noticed the existence Of this sin.
gularly prolific and superior species of cotton,
we have had the pleasure Of an interview
with Gen. G. d. Mitchell, of Warren coun:
ty, mississippi. now in this city, who has
with him several specimens Of the plant; in.
dicating it's rich and lnxuriant qualities. II
is decidedly superior to any species 6f upland
cotton which we have ever seen. The bolls
are larger and more abundant, literally cover.
ing the branches; the staple is longer, stout.
er, and finer, and the cotton can be picked or
gathered with greater ease and rapidity.--
The stalks and branches have the peculiari-
ty OF having no joints as in other varieties;
and being stout and upright, Gen. Mitchell;
who is a highly intelligent and practical PLAN
ter, has cultivated this cotton for two years.
and has found it easy Of cultivation, and re-
markably prolific. One acre yielded over
Elk thousand pounds of superior cotton, Of
which ono hundred pounds in the seed fufns
ished thrty-two and half pounds Of the lint:
BY accurate experiments, he found that SIXTY
five bolls yielded ono pound Of ginned cotton.
The origin of this species of. cotton is in
volved in some obscurity, as it was accident
ly obtained, but specimens Of the plant, and of
the produce in the boz, the raW-state, and.
ginned, may ho seen ut the counting room Of
Messrs. Baker, Williams d Co, where the
seed can be obtained. Mobile Register.
