U0rk for May-C0tton.

Some partial choppings of cotton
may have been already commenced.
This, however, does not amount to more
than the rapid chopping through with
the hoe, throwing it into bunchcs of
three to half dozen stalks. Not much
care is required, farther than to SO space
these punches, as to make the base of
the stand, or the proper distance at
which the stalks are to remain, when
left to grow for crop. The final thin
ming is, however, nice and particular
operation, and needs to be conducted
with the utmost care. With such mix
irg in of grass, as is not unfrequent at
this time, and hard press to cover
large space, it often happens that many
stalks are cut up in the hurry, and ma
ny more are bruised and skinned, to
linger and die after few days; thus
spelling the stand, and having much
unoccupied space in every row, amount
ing in the aggregate to many acres, to
be cultivated without any return. These
annoyances and failures are the results
of every years operation, on most plan
tations where what are called full crops
are planted We think it about as great
folly, as to dart straws against the wind
to talk about hand work in this day of
progression in the culture of cotton.
We will, however, do our duty, and
venture the opinion, that in the final
thinning of cotton, much of it ought to
be pulled out by the hand. The stand
would be saved uniform and perfect,
and the plant left in healthy and
growing state. Fewer acres would be
passed over, but they would be well
covered. But little earth need be add
ed at this time, only enough to support
the young plant. The distance between
stalks must depend upon the size to
which the weed will probably grow
rich land requiring more, and the thir
or poor much less space. The plants
when at maturity ought slightly to in
tcrlock. If the preparations have beer
deep and good, and no very heavy rains
have intervened, or the lands are by
nature soft, no very deep or close plow
: lngs will be required at this time. But
: if the lands are not light or soft by ma
| ture, or have not been made so by th.
, plow, we must insist upon pretty thor
, Iough work. In the early stages of tn.
crop, the .bedsare to be made loose an,
soft, or not at alias deep or clos

it would be fine investment by the
people of Raleigh and vicinity, for [
was credibly informed that the last an
nual Fair held in Baltimore brought in
to that city 100000 in one week,
which amount could not be raised by
any other exhibition than such as the
one spoken of. Judging from what
have seen since the formation of our
State Agricultural Society, I am Of
opinion that if a proper spirit is evinced
in getting up a State Fair, that there
will be very large attendance upon it,
and quite a handsome show can be
made. But if the same coldness, and
Indifference in relation to the matter
still continues to exist as has been so
apparent heretofore, it will be grand
failure, and result in shame and morti-
fcation to all engaged in it. The State
Agricultural Society are, [ think, re-
solved not to hold their annual cxhibi-
tions at any place where the people of
that place fail to manifest proper de-
gree of interest in the matter. And
here Iwould say that a :shint to the
wise is sufficient" for there are other
counties anxious that the annual Fairs
should be held at their county towns
And as evidence of the truth of this as
scrtion, I will state that [ have been
told that the people of Wayne county
will readily raise $1,000, if the Fair
should be permanently located at Colds
boro'. [ heard one man, Col. John
Everett, say he would give one tenth
part of the sum, if this was done. y
called meeting of the State Agricultural
Society will be held in Raleigh on the
25th inst, and | hope to see large
number of persons from various parts Of
the State present, ready to aid in max
ing the necessary preparations for
State Fair on the 18th of next October.
Let every young man in the State, who
has the ability, be present at that time,
showing, by his presence, that he ap-
proves Of the step and is ready to lend
his aid in the advancement of that State
that gave him birth. hope that be-
tween this and the 25th, the young
men of Raleigh and its vicinity will use
every exertion to raise the "wind" which
may be necessary to blow up the Fair,
and rouse the people Of our State to a
full sense of of their condition.

copy? JOHN F.TOMPKINS,

We are informed that one day last
week as Mr.. John Baker, who resides a
few miles south of CASTOR, was prising
tobacco, he called his daughter, Mary,
from the house to hand him something,
and just as she passed under the beam,
the tree into which is was tenoned
broke letting the beam fall on her head
which killed her instantly. Her neck
and spine were both dislocated. She is
said to have been very amiable girl,
and was about twenty-five years of age.

HAxALL's MILLs-The Mill buildings with some

feet in depth, running twentYfour pairs of burrs

dition. At short distance (about eighty fee from
the Mills. is large store house, one hundred and

ingenious machinery the -four as fast as 1t is bar
reed, is elevated to covered railway and carried
ey its own impetus to the store house, where il 10
either tered up or shipped away Immediately, as
the demand may exist.
The capacity for receiving, weighing and eleva-
ting wheat to the various stories ia more than equal
to ten Thousand bushels per day. And the neces
sity for large and expensive Mills, for rapid grind
lag and spacious store houses exists in this descrp
ton of business from the fact that nearly the hole
supply of wheat brosght to the Richmond mar
ket is embraced In period of about eight months;
during which time the receipts are very nearly
ground up, and the Mills stand idle for the remain
der of the year when repairs are mads and inn
prn-Arr Introduced to be in readiness for the
ensuing oroP. These MIL s--."nd the lest saascn
pable of grinding million of bushels in about ten
months. The number OF barrels of -four, "Haxall,"
and Richmond Columbia" ground last season
was upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand
barrels.
The Milling department ofthe business mas for very
many years been directed by Messrs Peter Martin
and Robert Kuhn and to the latter of these
gentlemen are the Messrs Haxall indebted for the
convenient planning and at different times enlarge-
msnt of their Mills.
The entire machinery and arrangement of these
famous Mills are admirably perfect The propris.
tors have spared neither pains nor expense In in.
creasing the power and promoting the convenience

for their popular brands in foreign markets Is still
we doubt not beyond the capacity Of their Mills,

TTo the Public.-The undersigned mott
ces card in The Dispatch Of the 2sh signed John
II Bosher," an EN- poyee of the Richmond Fire
Association relative to statement which was made
in the Petersburg Daily Express OF the 10th inst
extract from which said Bosher publishes to wit {:
1.-The entire fire department was monopolised by
he President of the Association, who had item at
work such portions of his property as was not
insured"
The author of this, said Bosher says, "ha0 told
falsehood."
As am that author, desire to say that intend.
ed to convey the idea, that the Presto ent alone
was implicated 10 the neglect of other property not
insured by tn Association over which ae presides,
but that the Association as whole has been ne
electiul as can substantate; nor am the only
one that has hal occasion to make this grave com
pIaint If Mr. Bosher had inserted my whole com
munication in the Express, the public would have
seen that my charge was in spirtagainst the Asso-
Cation. For ] say therein: "Now, [ submit the
question is this justl the City Council this year
appropriated towards aiding the Fire Association,
$4,000 And yet they cannot throw water on any
property that is not insured in their monopoizing
concern- hope one or more independent compa
mics will be established here forthwith This WILL
ultimately, be indispensably necessary. 1t is very
evident thai every body cannot insure in the Fire
Association and yet it seems, unless you do insure
there, when your property Is In danger, water will
not be thrown on it,"
So far then as any impusation against the Presi-
dent personally, ia coIcerned. dlscialm It as not
intended But in relation to the cEarge made
against the Association reiterase in the full force
of the words have used. | need not take the
trouble to go about Inc city for proof o. this
charge; it is too well known and has been too often
asserted in our streets but shsl content myself
by adding tine following in proof of what took
place on the night alluded &c in my letter to the
Express:
1--WE, the undersigned, do hereby certify that the
above ststsment ia correc. and that there was
gross nezec. on the part OF the Fire Compsnies'
on the occasion of the fire. on Sunday morning,
the 24th inst, iE net rendering assistance to those
who were greatly endangered thereby.
