New Cotton Fields.

BY the last California steamer we have
received some important intelligence in
relation to the successful cultivation Of
cotton on The Pacific. The editor Of the
Buaain (san'Franeisco, in that journal
Of the Oath ult says:
eve have 10 our possession cotton bolls
in maturity grown this season al the
ranch on Thos. II. Selby, a partner Ia
business Of Q, Naylor, of this city, Red
wood city, San Mateo county. They arc
the product Of seed brought from New
Orleans by man in Mr.. Selby's employ.
Not githstanding the season was six
weeks shorter than usual, the plant ma
tured, and exhibits fair quality OF what
is termed Upland cotton, short staple
The climate Of The Redwoods cannot be
50 favorable for this stsple as many
others, and yet the experiment seems 20
have been measurably successful. Those
interested can see the cotton, either in or
out Of tho bolls, by calling at the store
Of Thomas Selby & Co., California ct.
ain addition 70 the above, we have on
exhibition at the Balleiin publication Of
fee, on Montgomery street, sample Of
very hne cotton grown in southsrn Utah,
being a promiscuous parcel pulled from
a bale recently sold AZ Salt Lake City aud
said TO be a sample Of this years crop
the yield estimated at 10000 pounds.
This latter cotton is of the finest staple
and Is used chiefly for making section
floss"
The editor Of the Stockton Independent
also says:
"a gentleman OF this city has handed
US two bolls Of South Sea Island cotton,
raised in his garden on Hunter street.
The plant grew luxuriantly, and was lit
orally covered with bolts. From the
sample In our possession we should judge
that cotton raising in this State is no
longer an experiment, but matter oil
perfect certainty"
The experiment referred to as made in
Utah has proved entirely successful, as
appears from the following letter address
ed to the editor Of the Balleim:
editor Bulletin have pleasure in
hAuAtilb y ou y nahi pio VI tVbtph SioNh ~

morning from William Jennings, mer-
chant at Salt Lake City. He writes
This picked out Of bale | bought a

thousand pounds. Il bids fair for a
branch of home MANUFACTURED
81 have presented samples Of cotton
from this same district to cotton brokers
in Liverpool and to competent judges
here, and they agree in pronouncing il of
very fine staple. Cotton floss is made
from such quality. 10000 pounds is the
lowest estimate put on last seasons crop.
am informed by other parties that as
much as $4,000 pounds was raised. 1t
will afford your readers and the public
generally, pleasure 70 know that this
great article of national wealth is being
so successfully cultivated in other Sec
tions of the country's wide domain than
in what are usually termed the Cotton
States. Success to the enterprise
