I?vrd is recommended to the con.-i(lratioii of our cidton planting radr.- especially in tin- upper part of uur Southern States, for if we must atteuipt raising cotton where wo ouprut cot, it id altogether iinjvir- taut to have the arrjost maturing varieties Mr. Eiitor: Wht-n I s.w you on your return from Columbia from the State Agri cultural Society, I gave you a description of the Calhoun Cotton, and in answer to va rious inquiries from different sources, I have thought it advisible to answer through the Fanner and Planter, and give the informa tion desired. A fow years since, Dr. E. B Calhoun, of this place, obtained a few seed from a gentleman tra t iling from the West on his way to North Carolina, lie planted them in the spring, and from the seed this sjecies of Cotton was introduced in the neighborhood. I obtained some of the seed from the Dr. to plant on htlvt-, end I was n well pleased with the yield, that I gave him UK) l.uLels of wb -at, f..r JX) hush, Is vf the seed, having iitn.de J 2 lavy bales from 15 acre, one lulf of the laud planted being i try tutor since then my neighbors have planted it generally, and I know of n one who is not pleased. It superiority con sists chiefly in the following particular : 1st. It is tin- most forward COttuU I have f rcr known, maturing x:u r !iy2r3 un u than the common Cotton. 2nd. It will turn out more lint from the w ' d than any Cotton 1 have ever tried.--My manfiger. ('apt. Johu-tti, reports to me 35 lbs. from I'M) lbs. seed Cotton. Messrs.

Comparing favorably with any of the short Staph varieties. You will recollect that I n c mmended the Calhoun Cotton on ac count of it being so forward in its maturity and adapted to the latitude in which you live, and I would calculate to raise it suc cessfully even under the mountains on a Southern aspect, and I can see uo reason why all the valley luiuls in Audeison, 1'ick ms, Cf.-nvllle, Spartanburg and even in Not th Carolina nnd Virginia, could not ma':e Cotton profitable if planted In Cal houn Cotton. This may be too broad an assertion, but I feel certain I can grow it successfully where the common cotton fails to mature. With the assurance, Mr. Edi tor, I propose to send to the address of any responsible gentleman 10 bushels of the Calhoun Cotton .S d. ww&ed and freight paid to any point on the Greenville and Columbia Kail Ifoad on tin-following condi tions, that he plmmti it on good land, and if he is pleased with it he pays me ten dollars on the first day of oveinbcr next, and if it proves a humbug, all I require of him, is to give ine one half of the seed, and he to ob lige himself to sill thtm forme. I make this proposition with every Confidence, believing that I can benefit others as well as myself, aud thereby add to the productive wealth of the State. I nni yours, respectfully, TliOS. K. BYRD. Greenwood, S. C, Dec. 2, 1855. Capt. llyrd's proposal, if we understand him, seems to be a fair one. It is, either to give him one dollar per busbwl for the seed received, or one-half the seed made from the first crop. Hut a friend objects to the clause binding him to sdl for Capt. B. his half of the seed price not stated. To this objection we answer, we presume the price is one dollar per bushel, but at any rate, if you object to selling the seed for Capt 11. keep then and pny him the ten dollars for tl-.e seed you have received from him for hi - half of the seed produced will be worth in re to you than ten dollars, even to put on y oar wheat, oats or corn. "We would say in Conclusion, we think one dollar per bush el not an extravagant price to pay for a few 1 Ushel? of the Calhoun Cotton Seed, in order 'to get in the seed." " E. F. & P.

Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, has latere had presented him a daguerreotype lihenean of Bennett, the Editor of the New York Herald, of whose physiognomy be speaks as follows : Bennett's portrait is t rrific. Such a thing ought never tu be painted or daguer eotjrped. It ought to he considered a penal ofiVuce tn make any thing so revolting to all our ideas of propriety, No man has a right to inoaopolixe so much ugliness. If lb-urn It's ugliness could be distributed over a thousand faces, it would make eaohofthem intensely ugl', He ought not to be per uutlted to go into the street without a blank et over his dreadful frontispiece. No won der that so many of the New York children die of convulsions, since Dennett is permit ted to walk abroad with uncovered face. We once heard of a man's face that was so ugly that it was placed on andirons for the purpose of frightening children from the lire with much effect. No child dared to ppronch the andirons, and the liability to combustion from such cause was neatly lessened. If Bennett's ugly likeness were -tamped on fireplaces, the effect would be decidedly bad, for the children would not dare go near enough to the fire to keep warm, and would become frost bitten and perhaps frozen to death. We cannot con nive of any reason, why anything should be so ugly as Dennett. He is uglier than a half starved hyena. He is ugliness per fected. There is a thoroughness about his ugliuess which defies competition. When Mirabcau described himself as a tiger that had had the small pox, he placed a very ugly idea in everybody's mind, but it was beautiful when compared with Bennett's face. When Appellea made his beauty, his Venus, he took an eye from one woman, a nose from another, a mouth from a third, and so on until the Venus was complete in her more than earthly beauty. Now, if Appellee or artist of any appellation, wish ed to make the most indubitably perfect representation of ugliness, he would not be compelled to take features from several very ugly persons, but all he would be com pelled to do would be to get Bennett's face, aud the enterprise would be accomplished -f WHO WAS CAIN'S WIFE ? How often has this inquiry boon made ? To a certain class of minds such a question possesses moro importance than the gravest investigations in theology. Brother Weav er t M. Lotus, m answer to a corresnon- dent, thus responds through the Hern Id and Era to the inquiry "Who was Cain's wife .'" A subscriber asks this singular question. We answer, she was Cain's wife. That's all we know about her. That is all the ac count says of her save that she was the mother of Enoch. It is said that Cain went into the hind of Nod ; nnd we suppose that he took his wife with him, as any good lius band would- In the land of Nod they bad Enoch, nnd probably other children not a few, and grand children, for they built a city there. The city probably was not so large as St. Louis is, hut it very likely was a large household, of which Cain was pa triarch. It might have been his own nnd the families of his children living in separate dwellings. What Cain's wife's name was, and who her parents were we are not certified. She might have been the daughter of Adam and Eve, or some of their children. She was probably closely related to Cain, or a sister or a niece, or something nearer than cousin. Cousins marry in our day when the world is full of strangers. It wouldn't have been so great a wonder for Cain to mnrry his sister, when there were no other -il ls in the world, and no laws of mnrro.. o ' ami uououy eise to eiann nor unecuons. The command was to marry and multiply nnd replenish the earth. And we presume it was pretty well employed, for it set in- well replenished now, and likely to be. We know nothing about the nmulter f children and grand-children the fir.-t pair had. No doubt it Wiis u goodly number, both f male and female ; else, who inhabit ed Cain's city, and who were the wires f Enoch, Irad. Mi hnjael.

April 7, 1855. 38.F FLORIDA LAND AGENCY. THE undersigned has established an agency in the town of Alligator, Columbia Coun ty, Fla., for the purchase, sale or location of Land Warrants, the purchase and sale ol lands generally, improved and unimproved. The fact now being established that a Rail Road is to be constructed immediately conneptino- tae Atlantis and Gulf of Mexico, running through the entire length of the county. East and West, and in view of the great fertility of our soil, the unusually fine growth of pine timber on the land, the healthfulness of the climate, awd the reasonable terms on which lands can now be obtained, there is perhaps no section of the Union which affords equal j inducements to the emigrant from the older I States. Having had some experience in farm I ing on the different kinds of land, and ac quired a general knowledge of them through out the county, and having acquired unusual facilities for pointing out such as are for sale either of public or private lands, he feels very confident of making it the interest of all persons wishing infornalion, or who may have deter mined to settle in Florida to call on him.
