GRowINd CorroN IN JAMAICA. = The
English papers are again putting forward
the opinions Of the late Mr.. McGrachy, for
many years crown surveyor of Jamaica, TO
the effect that cotton can be grown cheap
ly and in abundance in Jamaica. No
doubt Of it, So can it be grown Cuba
and Mexico. But, unfortunately it is not
the kind Of cotton that is in most request
at the factories Of Manchester. That cot
ton is only grown between the Both and
36th degrees Of north latitude. There
only are found the necessary conditions of
temperature, alterations of sun aud rain,
&c. The tree cotton grows in the tropics,
where a long rainy season is followed BY
months Of excessive drought, but tue short
staple plant cotton of the southern states
Of the Union, never. The same may be
said Of India, where the experiment has
been fully and faithfully tried by planters
from our own country, experienced in the
business.
