TIE: BANCROFT COTTON,

We offer for sale small lot Of tho seed
of this fine and wonderfully prolific cotton,
raised on tho Bayou DeSiard, last year.
This species of cotton is tho result OF seve-
raj years of careful culling from tho very
best and most prolific Of tho Dixon Cotton
by the Messrs. Bancroft IL, person or, thciF
farm near Athens, Georgia.
The improvements on the Dixon Cotton
are in the quality OF the staple and increase
in yield, every stalk being the exact couu-
terpart of eacl, other.
Ours is perfectly pure, having been plant
ed in q field to itself not within u half milo
of any other cotton, and it has heci. gathered
with great care.
Those who wish to plant this cotton, wo
advise, from our experience, to plant in rows
not moro than four feet apart and chop ont
to ten inches on river land and closer on up
LAND, find that each stalk will yield all it
can bear and viii stand up better when close.
We refer to tho readers of the SouthoTnCul-
tiNator, and to oar Ifeig!},or5 l3oD orally.
Price, $500 per bnshcl OF 80 pounds IN
sacks at the plantation, or delivered at tho
steam boat landing or depot in Monroe.

The officers of the Republican
State Committee of Pennsylvania give
notice that "in pursuance of the reso-
luton of the Republican State Central
Committee, adopted at Altoona, Aug.
16, 1870, . State Convention, composed
of delegates from each Senatorial and
Representative district of the number
to which each district is entitled in
the Legislature, will meet in the hall
Of the House of Representatives, at
Harrisburg at twelve o'clock, noon,
on the 10th day of March, A. d. 1871,
to nominate candidates for Auditor
General and Surveyor General, and
to take action upon the question of
Constitutional Reform, and for the
transaction of such other business rs
may be brought before it." This con-
vention has a duty to preform which
will be closely scrutinized by the in
telligent voters of the Keystone State.
The folly of trying to poke all sorts of
men upon the people was demonstrated
last fall, in several sections if our
State, and one instance is so near us
that we are all ms we'll acquainted with
il as though it had happened among
us. We refer to the catastrophe in
the Goth Congressional District. Cor
ruption had become so open and shame
less, that lesson was deemed necessa-
ry by the people to the would-be lead
ers of the party, and it was given in a
very emphatic manner. Let us see to
it that we send men to this convention
who have no axes Of their own to
grind, and whose vote can not be in
fluenced by money or prejudice, and
who will do their whole duty by their
constituents and the party at large,
and when they select men for the above
positions we have no fear but that we
will elect them. But don't try to
make as swallow men whose record
will not stand close examination.

We fnd biographical sketch of
Wm. A. Wallace, Senator from this
district, and Speaker of the State Sen
ate, in the February ncmber of Leis-
urc Hours. Among other very hand
some compliments paid Mr.. Wallace,
