throughout the trade. It is mainly
attributable to the influence of our
Southern friends that we have beer,
enabled to survive thus far, in this
most trying situation; exposed to the
combined influence and capital of the
whole trade, endeavoring to rflectour
uin and expulsion from business.
We nledce ourselves to our friends to
;ive them every satisfaction in our
lower as regards the quality of our
goods, the excellence of our packer
and tho lownessof our prices for Cash
or City Acceptances; and in return,
solicit from them a continuance of
their patronage, and particularly le-
quest thoe who have influence with
their mends to exert it in our behall,
as we trust the cause is one they are
all interested in, and much bent fit
will accrue to us from their friendly
acts in this way. It has been said,
the Combination was broken up. As
it regards prices, this is true, and all,
we think, Inends or Iocs will allow
that we have effected this change; but
we do assure our friends, that at no
period sir ce we commenced our sys
tem of unshackled prices were wc in
greater want of assistance than at the
present moment. This combination
of men are leaving no means untried
for effecting our ruin, that they may
revive the old system: our credit and
character are assailed in every shape,
our importations waylaid and stopped
in every instance where threats are
sufficient to intimidate the manufactu
rers from supplying us: in fine, no
vexation or trouble which the malice
of men could devise has been neglect
ed in this struggle to subdue us. We
once more call upon every friend ol a
tree trade to come up to our support,
and pledge ourselves to give them no
cause to repent of their liberality.

Cultivation of Sugar. From the
iepurt and Documents on this sub
ject, submitted to Congress by the Se
cretary ot the treasury, we extract
'he following letter:
riiihuldphia, Nov. 9, 1830.
Sir: Having received your
circular of the 1st of July, rela
tive to the cane, I take the lib
erty to make the following re
plies to those of your queries
which have come within the
scope of my experiments. The
ribbon cane is the only kind 1
have cultivated. It is distin
guished by reddish purple
streaks on the jointed part, and
is reputed to be the hardiest
description in the United Slates,
but one of the least productive.
Soils which suit Indian corn
answer well lor cane, hut, as
the juice is more concentrated
on dry land, warm rich upland
is to bo preferred. Moderate
seasons are desirable, as too
much rain produces an aqueous
juice, 'and too little injures the
growtji of the plant.
In North Carolina the cane
shows no tendency to the for
mation of seed. It is propaga
ted by cuttings and by roots.
There seems little difficulty in
transporting the cutting of the
cane: mine were received from
Savannah in bulk, merely cov
ered with straw, and were well
preserved.
In the spring of 1828 I
planted a lew dozen of cuttings:
m that ot 1829, 5 acres, and
last spring 24 acres. My prin
cipal planting has been on
lands near the River Trent, in
latitude 35 20, but the last
and present year I have also
cultivated the cane on the
banks of the Roanoke river, in
North Carolina, in latitude 3G
18. The canes produced in
both situations have resembled
in size and richness of juice
those of Georgia. The ground
planted was of the first quality,
and generally very highly ma
nured What has been planted
in autumn has rarely succeed
ed. About the middle of
March is our usual time, and
has answered well. We plant
the cuttings in single. rows, at 5
feet distance, the ends lapping
a joint or two. When G inch
es high, it resists frost as well
as Indian corn, and better than
cotton.
The culture resembles that
of Indian corn, and, on the same
description of land, a hand can
tend nearly as much.
Our views have as vet been
confined to raising the seed
cane, anil we have no expe
rience as to the manufacture of
sugar.
That the cane may be culti
vated on the seaboard of North
Carolina with a fair prospect of
making molasses, seems more
than nrobahle. As to sugar.
the case is Questionable, as
1
frost renders the season for
grinding too short to carry on
the business extensively with
out great risk.
The most northern point in
Europe where the cane is cul
tivated is understood to be on
Vol. VII No 30.
the mediterranean coast of
Spain.
It early occurred to me that
near Malaga they probably
possessed a description of cane
that might be valuable to us, as
being acclimated by long cul
ture in that latitude. , Under
this impression, I took the lib
erty of stating to the Secretary
of the Navy my ideas on the
subject, and means were used
to accomplish the object, but
as yet seem not to have been
efficient.
This communication has
been delayed i order to have
the benefit of this year's expe
riments. -
1 am, sir, with sentiments of
high respect,
Your. most obedient servant,
GEORGE I OLLOK.
Consumption of Cotton, It
appears from the annual Com
parative Statement of the Im
port of Cotton into Great Bri
tain, dated Jan. 1, that not
withstanding an increased im
port into the Kingdom of 124,
780 bales of Cotton, with 11
decrease jn the export of 78,400,
the Stocks now remaining in
the Ports, only exceed those of
the 1st of January, 1830, by
31,000 bales; which shows au
increase in the outgoings, as
compared with those of the
previous year, of 55,G14; not
withstanding this increase in
the out goings, it is generally
admitted that the quantity held
by dealers and spinners in tho
interior, is less by 30,000 bales
than at the close of 1829; thus
showing a surplus consump
tion of 85,614 over that of any
previous itar. This tact is
encoui airing
grower.
to the Cotton
Com. An experienced
Connecticut farmer last year
soaked half the corn he planted
in a solution of copperas, 40
hours, kept warm, and this 'half
was untouched by worms, as
the other was, and yielded one
third more. A pound of cop
peras is to be used for a peck
of corn, to be kept warm while
soaking.
Glanders in Horses. Glan
ders, commonly called the
Horse Distemper, is always
accompanied with a discharge
of matter from tho nostrils, and
a swelling of the glands under
the throat. When the bones
become rotten in that part, it is
generally incurable this may
be known by the bad smell
which it produces. Gibson's
Farriery recommends in the
first and second stages, purging
diaphoretics, and roweling in
the hinder parts, but roweling
in the breast will answer the
same purpose To clear the
nostrils, fumes of burnt brim
stone and leather in the nose;
and after the matter has dis
charged, syringe the nostrils
with brandy or red wine. Af
terwards, to cleanse the ulcera
ted parts, inject them with a
small quantity of Unguentum
Egvptianum, dissolved in oil of
turpentine.
