TnE TEA CULTURE IN SOUTH CARoLTsA.-
Dr. Junius Smith, of GrecnVille. South Carolina,
IN a letter dated May Ist, speaks of bis experi-
ments in growing tea in this country as highly
successful. The plant maintains ITS original
physiology, and follows its Chinese paternity,
putting out its foliage at the same period that It
does in China All DF. Smith plants have
taken roots, the buds began TO dsvelope leaves
about the 2Oth Of April, though the spring has
been backward, and he could at this time collect
sufficient quantity of leaves TO make first rate tea.
lie says tie leaves are most tender and delicate,
and he can understand why Il is that we can
not obtain tic first quality Of tea from China
The first growth Of the leaf is delicate that Il
is gniic impossible TO divest il OF humidity, BY
firing or roasting to sustain 20 long a voyage.
besides the almost certainty Of utterly destroying
its rich and prt ciOus aroma. When the tea Is
cultivated here this process of roasting may be
dispensed with. With variety OF soil, abundance
Of cheap land and facilities OF transportation, DR..
$. thinks that If We do met cultivate our own tea,
we ought TO be tributary to those who call US
barbarians. Every farmer, certainly in the mid
die and southern States, may grow his own tea
in his own garden, without the slightest inteTer-
enee with his ordinary agricultural pursuits
We think now that ], IS demonstrated that tea
will grow here, some Of onr agricultural societies
should offer premiums forfhe first and best supply
of tea grown BprIn American soil.

we're found various bills for goods, one of which
was from the house of Hopkins & Bros, where,
upon calling, his card was obtained. and, upon
description of his person, no doubt remained as
