MOFFAT'S LIFE PILLS & PIHEXIX BITTERS. for sale at the Post Office at Lumberton by JOHN JN. DORR, Jlgent, $c.,-$. These Medicines are indebted for their name to their manifest and sensible action in purifying the springs and channels of life, and enduing them with renewed tone and vigor. In many hundred certified cases which have been made public, and in almost every species of disease to which the human frame is liable, the happy effects of MOFFAT'S, LIFE PILLS AND PHf-ENIX BITTERS have been gratefully and publicly acknowledged by the persons benefitted, and who were previous ly unacquainted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they are compounded, and upon which they consequently act. The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves in diseases of every form and description. Their first operation is to loosen from the coats of the sto mach and bowels the various impurities and crudi ties constantly settling around them ; and to remove the hardened fajces which collect in the convolu tions of the smallest intestines. Other medicines ness, with all its train of evils, or sudden dtaTrhcea," with its imminent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anatomists, who examine the human bowels after death ; and hence the yrejudice qf those well informed men against quack medicine or med icines prepared and heralded to the public by igno rant persons. Hie secoud euect ot trie l.Me Med icines is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means the liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. 1 he blood, which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and the lungs before it-passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished by food coming from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every pari oi tne system, and trmmpnanwy mourns the banner ot health in the ltloominr check. MOFFAT'S LIFE MEDICINES have been thoroughly tested, and pronounced a sovereign rem edy for the Dyspepsia, Flatulency; Palpitation of Heart, LiOss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head ach, Restlessness, Ill-temper, Anxiety, Languor and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera, Fever of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kinds, (j ravel, Worms, Asthma and Consumption Scurvs, Ulcers, Inveterate Sore, Scorbutic Eruption and Rad Complexions, Eruptive Complaints, Sallow Cloudy, and other disagreeable Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common Colds and Influenzn, and various other complaints which afflict the hu man frame; In tever and Ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have most eminently successful ; so much so that in the Fever and Ague districts, Phy sicians almost universally prescribe them.

Since publishing our remarks on this sub ject last Saturday, in which we undertook to show that the much vaunted experiment ot American cotton cultivation in India had proved a failure, we have.rieceiv.ed Bombay papers to' the first of January, which fully sus tain the positoin which we then j. took. The annexed article from the Bombay Times of December 22tl, appears to have bpeiLYrUten ters, ahomay be presumed to Ti&Tesseinrfly correct. ; -. , . ' To the Editor oj the Jioinbay Times and Jour nal of Commerce. Sir-f I have seen iu your paper of the. 1st and 4th December, communications in regard to thejeotton growing experiment as conduct ed by ihe American planters located at Broach. As the results of that experiment have been but partially set forth by your correspondents, it is but justice to those gentlemen, who must bear the responsibility of the charge commit ted to them, that a satisfactory exposition of the facts, as they really exist, should be given to the! public. At the same time, such an expos jl ion will, I doubt not, afFord some in terest and information to the few who sincere ly wish success to the project. Without noticing either of your informants individually, I hope to correct some misstate ments they have made, and give you some ad ditional light on this subject, which has so de servedly elicited the attention of the well-wishers of India. The Ameticanswho were des tined to take charge of the experiment in the Bombay Presidency, arrived in Bombay in September, 1S40, without a letter or single credential to identify themselves as the indi viduals employed by the Court of Directors. Their simple declaration was fortunately cred ited by the governmental authorities. They remained six weeks at the Presidency without any information or facility afforded them by the authorities, for becoming acquinted with (he Merchants or persons otherwise interested in, or acquainted with, the difficulties they would necessarily meet in attempting to es tablish ri new mode of cultivation. They were finally oidered to proceed to Surat, whither they immediately went, & were placed under the guidance of the principal Collector at that place, to whom they were requested to make a report of what would be necessary lo accomplish the object iu view which they did, so far as a total ignorance of the country, aud the difficulties with which they had to contend, would allow. This step was suc ceeded by an order lo proceed to Broach, where they arrived nbout the 1st of December, IS40, and this was followed by an awful pause of nearly; six months. During this time they did not receive a single iutimatjon of what would be the facilities afforded them for going into planting operations, nor was any facility afforded them for seeing the different soils of the country, becoming acquainted with the the practices of the ryots, or nature of the dif ficulties lhat awaited them in the accomplish ment of their undertaking. This time was consequently spent to no purpose, and a tedi ous time they had of it. Nothing to do but count the hpuis as they rolled their sluggish lengths along, and enjoy themselves the best way they could in the "best residence iu all Broach.' Up to the middle of May, which was the beginning of the planting season, when they should have commanded every fa cility for going into immediate operations, no land, to their knowledge, had as yet been pro cured notwithstanding they (the Americans) had anxiously remonstrated on the subject as early as March; A few d;iys after this they were informed that two poi lions of land had as youc correspondent of . the 1st December, says, ihe Americans have never been more than half the distance out of Broach. But, sir, the difficulties did not slop here after the land had been procured, it turned out that there was not an agricultural implement in Broach. Just at this time, it was ascer tained that the irons of five old American ploughs were to be had at Surat, which had been lying in rust probably for three or four years. These were procured as soon as pos sible, which were stocked after the American mode, under the superintendence of the Amer ican gentlemen, and with these five ploughs they commenced operations, end continued until the first setting in of the monsoon, which put a temporary stop to their labors. After a month's labor with these slender resources, the promised implements arrived at Broach Of course very little had been accomplished as yet, and the season was far advanced. But they received another backset here, from tho inability of the superintendents to procure a sufficient number of bullocks, which just at lhat time were in great requisition by the Ry ots themselves. Consequently 100 beegaa of the laud that had been taken to the north of Broach, were given uprc The balance they finally succeeded iu planting with the Ameri can Cotton seed. It was" the intention of the Americans to have planted some of the indi ginous cotton seed, but they found it impracti cable, on account of the delays to which they had been subjected. They plauted a few rows of Sea Island seed in the garden at Amjeed Bagh; they likewise plauted some of the Amer- -ican seed in the came garden soill ' All the land which they cultivated in the districts was the black clayey soil of Guzerat. -The result of the trial in this soil has been faithfully sta iT!i XwJtU the 1st of Deo . jn AniericanwaTrnw iuii. jju, fJJElLlAjllir-Mi suitableness of the black soil, and the violence of the seasons iu this country; bvrh of which have been shown by experimental trial to be particularly inimical to the American cotton plant. The American seed that was planted in the garden soil, which is a lighter colored soil than the above mentioned, succeeded much better. The stalk grew to a respecta ble height, and has produced tolerably well, but it appears to have prematurely matured, consequently the produce is inferior in quali ty and quantity to what is produced from tho same seed in America. It has also beeu much deteriorated, by an insect that has generated in' almost every pod. This cotton has not been irrigated as stated by one of your cor respondents. A portion of the seed planted iu the garden did not succed, and when it commenced withering, irrigarion was resort ed to for this particular spot. The object was to ascertaia whether it would not revive it, but it had no effect. The Sea Island: has been irrigated, aud is now thriving beautiful ly; as it has not yet come to rraturity, it is impossible to state what the actual result will be. The prospect 6f its doing well is very flattering. I have pointed out some of the outstanding features that characterize the first year's trial of the cotton experiment at Broach. Tho re sult, in plain terms, is a total failure. Tho causes of this failure are sufficiently apparent iu what has been stated above. If there have been faults in the conduct of the project, they have been rather of omission than of commis sion. I leave your readers to trace them to their proper source. As to the Gin-House, whose topling ap pearance has awakened the apprehensions of your correspondent, it will be time enough to comment when the catastrophe happens. I would say, however, that the plau has been adopted not from choice, but from considera tions of economy. It is now nearly finished, and will be iu operation in the course of six weeks. I think there is no danger of its fall ing down fiom the jarring of machinery. These have arrived at Broach. One cotton press aud four saw-gins, one of which is to be worked by hand power. They have been greatly damaged by exposure to the weather before their arrival not so much, however, it is thought, as to render them useless. The grades of all of them have been adapted lo the cleaning of the American cotton, the seeds of which are much larger than those of the indi ginous cottou, and it is feared they will not be the best adapted dor cleaning the latter. This point will be settled when the machinery is put to work and a trial made, of which you will be informed. Yours truly, Dec. 1841. NAKED TRUTH.
