cred three or four years ago in an nsaecidsa-

finer and longer staple than the rest. He
carefully ;Hssed the seed, (which he planted

had seed enough Of the new variety to sch
to his neighbors. Thus it spresd and .c-
quired tie name of Peeler cotton. No
doubt it will be cultivated hereafter more
extensively asit has realized such high
price in the market. We may expect very
soon large supply of this years. cotton
from sll parts ofthe South. This will con-
tribute vastly to relieve the Southern pee-
pie, to improve their condition, and to
stimulate trade with the North. We may
say now, that as far as the material inter-
ests and prospects of the South 60, the tide
has turned in their favor. With peace and
