We wore fortunate enough to tiiul I Mr. Doty at Jiome, who with his cus- j tomary liospitality showed us over liis j entire tiold. This Held contains eighty acres of j cotton, and such cotton!

And was not Mr. MoClarCj editor of the Philadelphia Times, right, when, after inspecting the agricultural capabilities of almost every State in the Union, he asserted that without exception South Carolina took the lead in fertility of soil and variety of natural resources. Our County and State owe to all such progressive and i 11 tel ligentfarmers as Mr. Doty a debt of gratitude for thus proving to the whole country our unequalled agricultural capabilities.
