The UaniIe.
GALvnsfoN, Jane 10th, J.

I iished, with regard Ia the plant
known as the "l.amic," hut up io
the present time very little belief
has been accorded 10 the assertions
, aud predictions of those who have
advocated its Introduction Into tho
Southern States. In the present
Impoverished condition flour conn.
try, IL is but natural that our plan
ters should lurn their attention to
the production of such staples ns
will necessiiaic tho smallest outlay
aud expenditure, aud offer, at tho
same time, the brightest promises
of generous remuneration. Few
hayo thus far been willing 10 meet
the uncertainties which attach a.
every new enterprise, AMI whatever
may have been the cniinsity mani.
tested upon tic subjctt-the great
bulk Of our farmers have rofi-alned
from attaching any imporinhcc To
such statements as assigned tho
greatest piNtluctlvo qualities to this
wonderful pl;int, Tho "I,cnuais,
sancc Louisiannisc, "a French week.
I Is issued Ia New Orleans, publishes
u letter from Mr.. Albert Terry, ono
OF the most energetic and intelligent
planters of IIbuisiana, wlich,, we
! think, is sdcstincil 10 set III rest all
doubts concerning the practical cui.
turc of the Ramic in the South.
Being Onrsrlvcspcrsomlly acquaint.
cd with Mr. Terry, we can assure
your readers that they mry place
implicit reliance in the correctness
Of his statements; we are certain
that lc has exaggerated nothing.
! Hcigivcs The rrsnu0r his first en-
pcrimcilis2 more encouraging still
X than hu had Becls I'D 10 expect.
Being tlcsirons offescfvingus many
lplants us possible in order 90 extend
his crop ncStycar tho dnttihgsiwcro
irestritted 10 i've bushes the second
ycarH growth Of the first seed plant
cd these five buslcs contained ofvo
stems, whichafltr having been pass.
ed through Mr. Hotzls lmacl,inc,
throughly dried mid cleanscd, yicld.
+ cd fourteen ounces of lint, which
would insure fiRc hundred and ,twcn-
ly-fvo pounds by Tic htrc. There
are ut least three cuttings II year.
The bushes growing from the roots
Of The first year yicid between twen-
five and thirty stcnis, Willie thpso
Of The second year will give about
one bundled. 1t may be reasonably
inferred that the third years crop
would increase Tho humber Of stems
tolwo hundred ormorc. The l,,tmio
being planted in tho s;imt.. manner
us tobacco, it will be. comparatively
easy to calculate what The yield Of
the crop will be. 'i'''f. +I'ii7' '.'l
The lismic, Mr.. Terry continues,
contains Il good deal ofgum, and it
would be desirable that some pro-
cess, chemical Or mechanical, sliGhld
be devised for its thorough cxtiar-
ton from the fibre Of the plu,ht-tho
,fibrcs themselves being very sutis-
ii.ctorily separated from the stnlk
by the use Of Mr.. RoczI's nlacliil.c.
In conclusion Mr.. Terry thinks, as
far us his own practical experience
extends, that the lsamie, is y most
wonderful plant, ofr,.sY cultivation
