Sept. 29,1868.—Since my last we
have had a very unpleasantly cold
and wet spell of weather. Cleared
off dry, but still very cool. Avast
amount of dotton went to waste dur-
ing this last rain. After the worm
has stripped the plant, the eotton falls
out) with a perfect looseness ! What
there is in the prospect to cause this
continuous fall in the price of the
staple, I cannot see. Od the contrary,
if an unusually short crop, for the
prospect there was six weeks ago, is
to affect the market at all, it should
be the other way.
-—But; these things, can never
be .otherwise until the producers learn
to me^C combination with combina-
tion. 'The general talk, seems to be,
to hold on to a part of the crop, at
Ifast, .for better prices. But it is
doubtful if even this be done.

One of the most interesting articles
this month, is that of H. \V. Sar
gent,-E#q, in continuation of his
"Foreign Reminiscences;" Many
beautiful English places are brtfly
but racily described, as HaddoU'Hall,
Cbafesworth; Lea Hurst—the home of^
Miss Nightingale, Attyn Towers, etc.
An interesting, account of vine-
yards aud wine making in Maryland.
The entire article is worthy of re-
publication here. The great com"
plaint 6eems to be of the mildewing
of a promising crop of catawbas.
The pa^ty taated many fine wines—
"nest catawba ot 1866, an excelleut
wine of fine color, .somearotaa, fruiry,
palatable; and finally catawba of
1865, made of grapes after frbaf. On
tasting this wine I almost suspected a
mystification, and that some choice
Budesheimer, or other high grade
Rhine wine had been set before us;
such . exquisite bouquet, such rich
flavor, body and fire, I never befpre
had discovered in-American wines;
all of which excellent qualities, apart
of careful preparation, Mr. H. at-
tributes to his gathering the grapes
after they had a slight frost.''
Certain am I, that until the latesj^
ripening mustang vines are selected,
and propagated from,trained or allow-
ed to rutt over trellesis of moderate
height, we will "never see wine from
that gfape of the excellence of which

John Saul, of Washington, D.
the editor a trns> of bloom
of what seems to them a new variety
of crape myrtle—l<deep rosy purple."
This,with an equally beautiful '-bright
lilac purple," quite distinct", have
long been common in the South.
'A first class gardener, in search of
a situation," and who has peiietrated
Dixie even into Nashville, Tennesse,
writes, "In time the SOuth will be a
good place for gardeners, but that'
time^has not arrived yet." It had
arrove many years ago, somewhat
considerably further; Soutlv Bub has
''gone out" now, alas! ^
How these descriptions of new
plants cause a sad, well-nigh hopeless
longing! Are we ever to have that
accursed foot of abolition oppression
taken from our necks ¥
'—-The Gardener's Monthly and
its correspondents are earnestlyadvo
eating the non-cultivation of orchards,
and advising that even in the case of
dwarfed pear trees, budded on the
fibrous-rooted, surface-feeding quince,
grass should be allowed to cover
the ground, up to the stem.
That orchards, which have their
growth, usually receive too much of
work with plow and Loe, is certain.
But I exceedingly doubt the propriety
.of ceesing &11 cultivation here, in the
extreme South. Aqd especially do I
doubt the safety, to the very lite of
fruit and other trees, if Bermuda
grass is allowed to gain a mastery.
Like fire, or like the "Pet of the na
tion," at this time, it is an excellent
servant but a very bad master.
— In this connection is a" sugges-
tion I have to make to wheat^growers;
A mere hint; which will be enlarged
upon at some future t'ime. A hint I
have for years proposed to ofier. Now,
it seems reasonable.
You have all observed, that if you
have a breadth of small grain of any
kind, in the same field with acultiva
ted crop, the small grain makes a
more vigorous and healtj>y growth f ir
a width of two to four feet, next to
thei plowed or cultivated portion than
elsewhere in the crop.
A good many years ago! received
frow several European countries sam-
ples of wheat, oats, barley, rye, etc.,
to the number of one hundred. They
wore sown (iu southern Mississippi)
in broad rows, of say two feet, sown
thinly over that surface, with an alley
of about thirty inches between, and
which was hoed more than ofloe, at
some times deeply, at othefs shallow.
My notes were lost in the burning cf
a steamer, and it is now so long ago
that I have forgotten particulars.
But the general results impressed
the belief that it would pay one or
more wheats-growers in Texas, and
especially those who drill their
wheat, to try an acre or two by dril-
ling four, five and six rows, leaving
between each set of drills a space of
thirty inches, or three feet, in which
to run a cultivator two or three times
during the growth of the crop. And
especially if there was the slightest
appearance of rusft, and" immediately
onits shotting itself.
—— I would be very glad to learn
of the results of the castor oil bean
and. sorghum or imphey crops this
season. And- will feel under obliga-
tions for plain, brief, clear statements
of cultivation, treatment, handling
and results.
And would be equally glad tc
receive reports of the results of the
use of cresyhc soaps in scab on sheep,
screw-worm in stock, skin diseases on
human beings, destruction or prevent
tion of insects on plants, etc.
Alao,i as to the results of em-
ployment of free negro labor upon
farms, whether cotton-growing or nor.
Stating terms on which employed,
and other particulars.
A correspondent of the Co Gent.,
"I. P. J., Jackson, county, Texae, 20.h
Angust, 1863," says: "This is my
third year—have worked about forty
hands. The average total would not
be compared to ten good Northern
hands ; I mean black and white of the
South. The former expect too much;
of freedom—the latter cannot get
along because the nigger don't work."
"As to the profits of cotton, I have
lost $15,000 in gold on that; and no
man to my knowledge has done better
iu this State. One firm lost last vear
$180 000 in gold, by renting some
plantations of three thousand acres in
cultivation, and planting solely cot-
ton ; lent $30,000, aud laborers and
feeding the balance. The result was
four bales, aud the suicide of the man
affing prrtner." How is all this?
True 1
He adds, what I should call very.x
doubtful advice—" Throw aside cot-
ton,and substitute instead brootneorn,
and castor oil beaus. The latter will!
do well with you and pay largely."
Further, he adds, "hire your negroes
by the quarter (three months) usirTg^
Gang-plows, planters, cultivators,
etc." Query?, Yours, T. A.

paper of New York—the hints are
valuable and practical, albait we. d^
not always practice what our author
teaches. *||||
The first part of these suggestion's
we gave to . our readers in our last
Sunday's edition, we now give the.
the conclusion, earnestly hoping that"
those having a propensity for news-
paper writing, or rather writing for
newspapers will pay particular atME ;
tion to the closing paragraph :
Short articles are always the Qfie§
most likely to be..read; and, of cour^&^^j^ijmjggQj i,eneorr}.oca.
long ones are those most most like]
to be unread. One column is bw
th^n two, and sometimes half a%ol-
umn is better thau either. Two cob
urans need a very weighty theme and
a first class writer. On this subject
every writer may judge of others' by
himself. Seldom has he the tio^ibr
patience to wade through a long aai-
cle, End what is true of liimselt; is
eqnally true of nine in ten. The
writers who .-write for the greatest
;number of readers generally^lo|not
exceed a column of an ordinary
newspaper. They know when to
stop.
The style of newspaper writing
should be simple and compact, pro-
gressive in the order of thought, sta-
ting a few ideas very clearly, and
suggesting a great many more. The
people are the readers; and what they
want is plain, Saxon English, full of
meaning, and well put together.—
There is a choice in words; and, of
course, the best words are always
those that will do the most execution.
Long and involvejl sentences, loaded
with allusions" unintelligible to moBt
persons, and that too without any
suitable arrangement into paragraphs,
are not the thing for the popular
mind. They do not make a readable
article.
Absolute honesty and sincerity of
heart in the writer are quite essential
to a good article. These qualities
will make his rhetoric spontaneously
eloquent. The words he uses, aud
the figures he employs, will glow with
the fervors of his own spirit, and
awaken corresponding fervors in oth-
ers. The reader will instinctively ieel
that he is. dealing with an earnest
mind. Genuine feeling is half the
battle in writing a good article.
And now, all ye newspaper writers,1
We beg you to have a little compas
sion on type setters and proof readers.
Write Iegibiy. Spell your words cor
rectly,. and be sure to put capital
letters where they ought to be.
Punctuate your sentences according
to the best approved system. Divide
the matte? into paragraphs according
to the nature and current of thought,
and not leave this for the printer to
do. Attend, to these thing*, and we
promises you th^t the type-setters
and proof readers will not only be
grateful, but also give your articles
to the reading public just as the^.f-.are
written. ,t
