Chinese Potato--DiscOrea Batatas.

A circular from Princes Nurseries,
L. L., describes in glowing language,
the excellence of this esculent, stating
that it is more nusricious than any other
esculent cultivated that it $ perfectly
hardy; that its produce 500 bushels per
acre in France-that it is " the greatest
vegetable boon granted by God to man.
and than its Introduction into our coun-
try is more important than cotton.
The circular states that the price of
100 tubers is SPONTANEOUSLY and inn
moderately high, we think. We have
seen number Of paragraphs by those
who had planted this esculant last sea-
son, not single favorable one, we be-
lievo, the yield in every instance being
poor. In this respect the testimony re-
spectng it is quite contrary TO that re.
la,ing to the Chinese Sugar Cane.

the following reply, which was found
among his papers:
"Sir. I have the honor Of acknowl-

do myself the pleasure of replying to

''In affairs of this kind the parties

"First-You must marry and have

must be under bonds Of four thousand
