Ec-tptian Cotton.

New Orleans Picayune: For some
time mast DIR. Armand Mercier, president,
and the members of the Louisiana Alb
anaum have made strenuous efforts to in
troduce in the south the Egyptian
ssBamiahn cotton. Last year CORE
spondence with Judge Morgan, now in
F,pypt. was entered into. Judge Nor
gan, in reply to the inquiries OF Dr'
Mercier. sent him samples of the cotton
and quite a quantity of the seed. The
samples were at the time submitted to
Messrs. Christ and Melleur, the experts
of the cotton exchange, who pronounced
the cotton or a superior quality. The
seed was immediately distributed among
q number of planters, who undertook to
cultivate them. The efforts of the Ath
enaum are this year crowded with un-
questioned success. Among the persons
in the Immediate vicinity of the city to
whom seed were distributed, are the
Messrs. 'Cavaroc, below the city, and Mr.
Fendel Horn, on St. Charles street.
Mr.. tCavroc has planted one acre OF the
seed, and the plant on his place has
improved wonderfully, promising asplen-
did crop. AT Mr.. Fendel Horns resi-
ldence, on st. Charles street, the seed
which he has planted has acquired for
the season wonderful proportions. The
seed was sown on the sixth of April last
and one of the plants bloomed on the first
Of June. The flower lis OF la brilliant
yellow, with beautiful red tinge at the
base of the petals. Contrary to the
flower of the ordinary cotton, which
gradually fades, the flower of the Ba-
miah preserved it's bright yellow color
until it persisted and fell to the ground.
One of the plants has already attained
the hight of four feet, and another three
feet ak inches, and are daily growing
rapidly. In the state of mississippi, at
Bay st. Louie, Mr.. Tulman sowed about
the same time one hundred plants, which
are all very promising, and already the
bolls are forming Indeed, much is due
to the interchangeable energy of DIR. Mer-
cier in introducing into our state
species of cotton which, while being as
easily cultivated as the other, yislds
more on the same quantity of land, and
com mands better price in the market.
