Now then, we hnve a starling place an index to
point to what are the npce.ary ingredients which (
nentinlly mmprise the inorganic wants of the Cotton
plant If we look 1 the preceding tables, we find
that Lime, Potash, Phosphoric acid, and Phosphate of
lime, Sulphuric acid, Magnesia, and Cai lion if acid
(the Utter organic) are the chief food upon which it
feeds. The question of feed being settled, the next
question we have to ask ourstlf, is. -are there suITi
cent quantities of these various substance) in the soils
of our friend, " Panola," to satisfy the wants of the
Pnltmi iil'.int nml onrnii rn era ila lnvnr!:int jrrnvvlh '
We shall, in the first place, address ourself to the
soil of" A," and ask ourself has it enough h'me with-
n its body ? The analyii says it ha 8 lOlhs of J
per cent , which, according to our calculation, will
make the quantity to the acre, when ploughed 6 inch
es deep, about 240 bushels :and if so, there is enough
in it for all present purpose, so far as a supply
to the plant may be concerned, though more might
hp advantageously used, to increase the absoibenl and
retentive properties of the soil.
The next substance in order, is I'otnm. ot this there
isa deficiency in tliesoil which should be supplied either
by vf.sif., or the Carbonate of. rotam, the former we
should prefer, becnut. in npplying ashes, many other
substances of which the plant stands iu need, would
he (tho supplied, as Carbonic twd, silicic ar.id, phos
phates of iron, lime and magnesia, lime, Magnesia.
Soda, oxnU of iron, Chlorine, phosphoric acta, (sul
phuric acid, and organic acids.
Phowhortc acta, and Phosphate of hmc, come next,
substances greatly demanded by the Cotton plant in
all its structures, and of this there is but a trace in
soil A.; hence then, to meet these demands, it must be
artificially supplied to the soil, and the readiest way
to do th;s, we apprehend, is to give it a dreams ot
hone earth, or of gimno. or, indeed, both perhaps
would be preferable.the former substance as a source
of future supply, the latter as a present one.
Of Sulphuric actd,he supply in soil A," we deem
sufficient, though we believe a bushel of plaster per
acre, if strewn over the land after it may have been
prepared, would be of infinite service, in attracting and
husbanding the enriching gases of the atmosphere.
The supply of Magnesia in soil A " is ample.
The Carbonic acid, required by the plant, will, we
think, be abundantly supplied by the "organic mat
ter'" in soil A.," and by the applications of liberal
portions of the composts, formed by "nature's cannu
flnrf," which so abound on our friend's estate, and"
which he has both the courage and the enterprise to
apply. In those substances which he enumerates, he
has, as he very correctly remarks, both the organic
anu inorganic elements calculated to improve his land,
if he should but give it enough of the named substan
ces. And we will here venture the assertion, that
without the aid of cotton seed, he never could have made
1000 lbs. of" seed cotton," or 25 bushels of corn, to
the acre, without the other substances comprising his
composts, were rich in the elements of bone earth, as
both coon and corn are greedy eaters of that kind o
diet, and cannot do without it, It mny he, however,
and we think it probable, that in the subsoil, theplants

Extract from a London letter. Oct 20tb : "There
have Un-n rumors here cf d. faculties on beard the
MiMsi pi. and some have gone so far a to say. that
Kvsuth challenged the captain. These infernal
lie are a part i f the Austrian system cf calumny.
Knssuth is silent on any differences; he tpcaks ia the
u-armnt terms of the officer.
The difficulty wa thi: That old' humbug of a
consul at Marseilles had the impudence to tell Kos
suth, after hi Marseilles address (which, by the
way. 'fluttered the Yolcmna more than any thing
they have had for a long time) that he hd degraded
cr comrmimUcd the American flag by the address.
K'suth replied (and Capt. Long was present) that
he had accepted no condition fur hi release from
bondage, although lilierty was many months i-ince
propped to hi in on condition; he wa not aware,
that in accepting the hospitality of the United Mates,
he had hound himself to alxlieate his own convic
tion of tho course .which it was proper for him to
pursue; that if. however, the consul, a an Ameri
can representative, or Captain Long, considered such
to bo the case, he mustntk at once to leave the ship.
Thc consul. I believe, made an apology, and matters
went on a before. We must not deceive - ourselves
as to the aid mt have given. The Turkish ambassa
dor here asked our minister, if in case Turkey was
attacked for the release by Russia and Austria, he
could protni-e them one single gun in aid the res
ponse wus a dead silence ! He app'icd to Lrd Pal
mcrston : the reply was, ' You shull have the while

September. 184'.. it was sent, and the since publish
ed instructions show, with the firm purpose to act.''
An Incident In State Life.
On the 22d ult , the Downgcr Orand Duchess and
thc Archduchess Maria Louisa (Napoleon's widow,)
drove out of Floicnce, in a court carriage, by the
gato of St. Frediano '1 hey woro scarcely a milo
out of town when some drunken Austrian soldiers
stopped the carriage, and ordered their Royal High
nesses to alight, in order, they said, to convey into
town oiio of their comrades who was unable to stand
on his legs. The Grand Duchess and her compan
ion endeavored, by addressing those soldiers in Ger
man, to give them to understand who they were.
All, however, was useless; tlie soldiers drew their
bayonets and took possession of their carriage. Tho
august ladies having alighted, sought refuge in all
haste in an adjoining house, of which they precipi
tately closed tbe door. Tho soldiers, after tearing
thc cushion of tho carriage with their bayonets,
rushed towards the house in which tho Princesses
had found shelter, and strove to break in tho door,
uttering thc most frightful threats and curses. For
tunately Fome neighbors assembled and put the as
sailants to flight. Several of them were afterwards
arrested by the police. During the scufrje thc peo
ple cried "It is full time to rid tho country, of
that canaille.' A detachment of cavalry soon after
came up and restored order. English Paper.
