FLAX COTTON.

Through the kind attention of Hon. CHAs. J..
FAuLxSER, we have been presented with sPe-
cimens of Far Cauon-an article which at
present excites no small degree of interest in the
agricultural and commercial world. Judging
from the appearance, we doubt not that it can be
made a substitute for cotton in the manufacture
of many articles. This discovery of a mode OF
converting fax into a material possessing the pro
pertfes of cotton, is intend ed to be used by the
North as a powerful agent against the institution
OF slavery. The climate OF the North being well
adapted to The raising of fax, the people there
imagine that they could soon become independent
ofthe South as it regards the raising of the raw
material. Ofthis, however, we have some doubt.
The climate of Virginia, we would suppose, is as
we'll adapted to the growing of fax as a more
northern latitude. Flax grows quite well even
in Louisiana. The skin or harl does not grow
quite as thick, yet the fbres are ofa finer texture
This discovery may be Of infinite benefit to the
United States. We hope to see it brought into
