THE sEicCEss or THE TEA PLANT
IN THE UNITED STATES.

The last accounts which we published in
regard 10 the progress the Teaplant in South
Carolina, under the cultivation of, Junius
Smith, l.. l.. d., stated that the experiment
was working finely. The following extract
of letter from that gentleman, under date
Of July 4, shows that he has met with final
success--an experiment to which he has de-
voted large fortune;
al have now before me pot of fresh green
tea from my own plantation, the first have
enj@ed. Having no experimental evidence
in this country of the effect of curing by firing
or roasting in iron kettles, felt some ruiuc-
tance to expose this, my first experiment TO
the public gaze, and therefore conducted tho
whole, from the picking the leaves to drink
ing the tea, in a, private way. am much graf
ificd with the result Of this my irst essay in
manufacturing American tea. The drying is
so simple that amy farmer in the Union can
make tts:0wn ten with the surHr certainty and
the same ease as he can make his own bFgaCf.
The fragrance is not SO high as imported
Hyson tea, but the taste Is far more pure and
clean in the mouth, although it leaves the
stamp or fresh made tea, or rather tea from
a fresh leaf, 1t has not the slightest Disagree
able taste, but has full delicious flavor, in
dicatng, in an eminent degree, perfect puri-
~, and the presence of sweet, refreshing
beverage. Connoisseurs will, perhaps, meas
ure the quality OF my tea by their own, to
which they have been accustomed. But the
comparison will not hold good My tea is so
peculiar, as always use il in the Chinese
way, without sugar or milk, and have the
taste of the tea only, and cannot easily be
mistaken in the favor and true properties of
the tea. If the tea be good, anything and
everything added to it is detriment. If bad,
use as much sugar and milk as will neutralize
the bad qualities, and ssAye nothing but the
taste of sugar and milk. do assure you that
l am SO delighted with my. pot of tea, that
have drank of it half dozen times whilst
writing this article, and nearly exhausted the
tea pot. My black tea plants, since their re-
moyal in April, have grown much slower
than the green tea plants. Indeed, the green
tea plant rs much more hardy plant than
the black"

We observe in several OF the southern journals that
the organ OF disunion here has succeeded in obtaining
circulation of its views in respect TO the attainment of
the lie OF 80 deg 30 min. the panaeea for the evils
brought upon the country by the Compromise. There
were men in the South who were induced 10 threaten
that they would fly the ultima ratio, il Congress did
not conform its legislation to the recommendation OF the
Nashville convention this subject but we had in
cned TO the hope, since the separation OF that conven
tou that such hssy determinations would not again be
avowed To place the contingency OF an action on an
event which is impossible is the thing to say
tina, no contingency will prevent the action To suspend
the exercise of the right of secession until il be ascer
tanned that the line of &c deg 30 min be obtained il
done in sincerity is the same thing to say we are
determined TO make the trial soon as we can do so
with prospect of success.
