corToN CULTIVATION IN INDIA.

The experiments at Madras, in culliva-
Ting rotion to rival that Of the United

Morning Chronicle says, as total failure.
II was zealouslv, and even lavishly sup.
ported BY the local government; but the
failure OF similar experiment in Bengal.
after an outlay of about 100000. had
already given fair w,rning Of the probable
issue of DIR. Wighl's efforts in the sister
presidency. The capital and mechanical
skill which. since The introduction Of Whit
ney's saw gin. in 1893. have been brought
TO bear by The Americans on the cleansing
Of the pods, have given the product an ex.
cellence which The Indian planter cannot
approach. Fifty years ago India shipped
10 England cotton goods TO the value of
three million sterling. AT the present
lime, the process is exactly reversed. and
India imports British manufactures Of
American cotton To the same amount. In
1890, America did not export a single
pound. Is 1884. SHE exported as much
as all the rest of the world put together.

aud selling The products Of our plantations
in New York market: And whereas The
city Of New York, regardless of our rights.
has pursued system of aggression''
upon our institutions; And whereas the
said CITY is growing rich and popuous by
feeding on our oysters and vegetables,
which they purchase from us-lIus i'm
poverishing us; And whereas we cannot
look with composure on The growth and
prosperity Of said city, now numbering
more than 100000 souls, while Hobbs
Hollow IS at most stationary. and our soil
and oystersbeds are becoming less and
less profitable every day-lherefore,
Resolved, That as " chivalrous,' and
generous sons" Of Hobbs Hollow, we will
hold no further intercourse with said city
Of New York; that by Withholding our
oysters and vegetables from the fana,ical
consumers thereof, in said city. her popu-

low will become The most prosperous pur-
lion of the globe.
Resolved, That the sons Of Hobbs Hol-

the towns of Richmond, Petersburg
aud Norfolk. All he return merchan-
die will seek this way as the most
certain and expeditions; the travel will
follow The trade. and these sources will
add very important portion 10 the re-
venues OF the Raleigh and Castor
road.
The coal from the Deep River, the
Developments Of which are becoming
every day more important. will become
another important auxiliary TO the re-
venues Of the road. A connection, By
thirty miles Of railway from Raleigh
10 the Deep River. will bring this coal
IN competition with that from Virginia,
Tor ali the Northern and Eastern portion
Of the State.
With these views, | have no hesita-
ton in reporting the financial condition
and expectations. Of the Raleigh and
CASTOR Rail road, as in very healthy
condition. And would recommed that
immediate measures be taken 20 put
the road in good working order.
.7ppe,ldir.-The future extension Of
the Raleigh and Castor Rail road TO
Camden. IN order 60 fulfil the de-
mands % the shortest and best route
from New York to New Orleans, is Of
so important bearing upon the pros
poets Of this road, that have prepared
a few statements TO show the great adj
vantages this route possesses over every
other.
The distance from Richmond 10
Branchyille, by the present routes and
others proposed. is as follows:
!. BY Petersburg. Wilmington and
Charleston. 40 miles.
?. Petersburg, Wilmington and
Manchester. 469
3. Danville, Charlotte and Column
bia. 49,
4. q Petersburg, Raleigh q Cam
den, at t.
From this IL appears that the route
through Raleigh is IS miles shorter than
the present travelled route, and As
miles shorter than any other proposed.
In fact, there is no other route TO rival
it in this respect.
With regard to cost OF Construction,
route No. will cost at least twenty
FIVE per cent. less than No. 9, and fifty
per cent. less than No. s."
Such are the views of an Engineer
who has no possible interest in our part
of the State, which, we presume, he has
never seen. We have not the shadow
of a doubt, that if capitalists would take
hold Of the scheme, and build a direct
rail road from Camden to Raleigh, it
would command almost the entire ira.
vel between the North and South, and
much of that from Tennessee and other
Western States. We think that In less
than ten years it will be undertaken.
In the mean time, if the State will
renew the Castor Road, as iteseems to-
us would be wise, patriotic, and prof.
table, and we build Plank Roods Is
miles on the South, and so miles on the
North, las we hope and believe this
town and county twill do, whether
Raleigh assists or not,) we feel assured
that the Stages here will at once be-
come material freeders of the Raleigh
and CASTOR Road. Our Plank Road
travel will be decidedly more pleasant
than even Rail Road travel. South of
us there will be only about 90 miles Of
the ordinary earthroads, generally very
good, J and North Of Us, next to Raleigh,
only about 25 miles. The so interven-
ing miles of Plank Road will be de-
lightful rest to the traveller. The time
too will be shortened by the Plank
Roads about five hours.
