IT is a circumstance of no small -.inipoi -
portancc to the citizens of this State to
have a convenient aud healthy situation, to
which they can ha*e access during the
Summer and Autumnal months.
The Bradford Spring, at this time, ex
hibit such a situation. The building*,
here, are capacious and convenient ; and
are as well calculated for the accommoda
tion of the' dclicate and infirm, as those
I who are in search of pieanure. * *
? The situation is, probably, one of /the
moat eligible that this country alio nU
The elevation is considerably above the
common level of, the surface. The rib
and declivity ot the hill is gradual and re-'
KUlar : and its summit smooth and un- ,
? broken. The Spring* empty out of (he
| basis of the hill, at different apertures,
where it abruhtly breaks off, in almost) a
j.. perpendicular descent.
The water is a strong mineral. It* is
transparent and palatable. The ingredi'
cuts which form the composition of this
[ mineral, have not yet been accurately as
certained by-chymioal analysis A fewv
; individuals have annually visited those
: Springs, jjtfwl those alone, can form on ad
equate idea of the advantage which results
from attending them.
The ruinous toftdltion of ihe building*
in all probability, and ihe want of aceotn 4
modation has, hitherto, prevented a num
ber of persona from attending these Springs.
But the subscriber flatters himself that tie
is now, well prepare!) for the accommoda

pledges himself to spare no exertions to
render the situation of nil those who attend
these Springs both comfortable and agreer

C OT | ON.
The rot lias made lis a ( pea ranee
in our cotton at ati unusually e*rly
period ? a circumstance that has in
duced an opinion among our planters
that it will be move destructive to the
present crop, than to any former one,
since its first appearance among us.
Iu a country where the soil at.u cli
mate are so eminently adapted to the
culture of cotton, and on which al
most the whole force of the agricul
turalist is employed, it is a subject
ot regret that so few experiments
have been made by our pmctical
planters, to ascertain the causes of
this alarming ami destructive disease*
'I he rot made its appearance in Ivdia
about the middle of the last century,
and such were its destructive effects
that whole fields were destroyed
without scarcely a solitary I mwf re
maining uninjured. Although there
are various hypothesis in the country
respecting thecauses of it, yet none
of them, it -fs believed, have "been
brought tu satisfactory results.-?
Among the' most jwpular opinions
rt?8|)ecung this disease, is one which^
supposes that it is produced by the
intense heat of the sun's rays acting
on the cotton bowl, uutil the sap be
comes so hot as to destroy the vege
tating principle, ami that fermenta
tion and decomposition follow ; and
another, which supposes it to be pro*
duced by continual rains, or an ex
tremely huuiid atmosphere. Bit it
is lielieve that neither of the abovn
hypothesis have any foundation in fact.
As to the first, it will be ascertained
Irom the ttrtetest observation, that
the cotton bovls which grow partial
ly, or entirely, in the shade, sit
quite as much affected by tlie disease
us those constantly exposed to the
sun's rays; aud as to tlie second, it
may be remarked, that in the sum
mer of 1817 we had constant and
continual rains, aiid that in 1818,
while one part of the Territory suf
fered severely from a drought, in tbt
other part the rain was abundant,
and yet in both these years (be rot, ?
in every sectiini of the country, was
pretty gcuerol und equal. It might
be further remarked, that if the dis
ease be produced by tlie heat of the
sun's rays, why is not the bowl al
ways or generally most affected on
the side roost exposed to the eun ?
If it be the result of continual rains,
why is not every part tiff the bowl
equally aflected ? A third hypothesis,
and which 1 think is entitled to great
consideration, in, that the rot is oo
casioned by a small worm or bug* *
This hypothesis is not only strength
ened by the improbability of the two
firat, but from the circumstance that
In almost etfery instance, a small hole
ia found near the centre of the affec
ted bowl. But whether this insect
penetrutes the bowl from the outside,
or the e^g is deposited in the bios*
som, fas is the case with the worn
, found in the apple and cherry,) are
Suestions which aire yet to be solved*
t is supposed by some that the in
sect possesses a peculiarly poisonous
atjig or bill with which ue merely
punctures the outside of tlie bowl.?
Will not a puncture with a pin or
needle produce the saute effects ?
This article is not written with a
view of pointing out tlie causes of
the disease in cotton, but for the pur
pose of excidng a spirit of inquiry.
As the present is a very favorable
time to make exjieriments and re
searches, it is hoped our practical
Raiders will prosecute the inquiry
with a spirit couitnensurate with the
?inportance of ttae subject. ,
