The Recording Secreary read the ptoceedings of- The former meet. ing. Mr, lanes Cantey was proposed and unanimously elected a member. MajorJ. A. DeSaussure from the Com mittee appointed to prepare an essay as memoir to be submitted at this meeting, made a toport, which, after being read, was appmsed and accepted. with instrue tions that.1he same be sent up to the State Agrieultural Society. The Comnittee on Cotton asked further time to mike thelt report upon the proba. ble amoupt that will be made on the Wa teree, which wasgranted. Several Copmittees were then appoint. ed to make all necesary arrangement for celebriting the anciversary of the So clety, and to make suitable preparationi fr the exhibition or the stock on tho firs Thursday in November next. The President, in pursuance of a rule, commenced calling upon the menlbers tc give their views and opinions upon the best mtode of raising and attending cittle and hogs, and the cultivating of luerne. Col. W Taylor stated that his hog. were ofrl Cobbett breed; that he ham fon several yees past, paid great attention lu them, and nds by proer treatment and management, can make them a first rate hog. Puies them when young. fie thinks ac would be advantageous-and whilst the' try is not yet well supplied with thee' t foreign improved breed, neighbars A exchange with each other to obtain t object. Mr. Ja 'ttleea gentleman of long experia bserved that he wai satisfied that a breed was necessary anti advantag inasmuch as he t hought the same old would degenerate; wea har derso kee ; took much more food; were lazy sluagish, and became un prolific. fields were indispensably necessary the raising of hogs success fully and ily. The stock hog. anfd 1hou91 ed for siatuahter should he l ' k heqJAs. i.thiSIC ger should separated from the smaller. An intelligent and trusty servant shoutld have the managements and his whole time devoted to their'care. Air. Li'!e furthr stated that the hogs he intends to slauigh :er in the winter are turned into the corn field the latter part of August, or first of September, mud that it is all a mistaken notion, that the destruction of she corn will be much felt-that the hoigs would first take the corn lying on the ground. which would rot before it is usually gathered for your barns. The peas and pumpkins ih-y have, also the benefit of eating the yooug pea hanas at the same sine. Mr. Little kills from twenty to twenty five thousanid pounds of pork a year, ani there has been bought but one thousani pounds or ba-ons for the place he is living on, for ihe lust nineteen years; he pickles 10 to 12 :,eeves thmrouch the winter. which. with the pork that is currd, makes a plentiful supply ltor she uegroes. Caps. B. Boykin obierved that he agreed with both the members upon the impor. tance ofa good cross, amn that his pin did not deviate isuch fnntta Mr. LiitIe's that he also turned his hogs into ont fiesl: in July. and in the fall upon the corn fields that he has paid considerable sttention) to the raisin:g of hogs; that they have impro ved in appearance and number. Mr. J. Arthur enisncided, and was pro. pored so say that great benefit would re sult from a rngorouts prosecutiun of a syq semaitic operasion e1 raisintg stock of all kinds.

Ele sta ted that it was an early, graut put fcortht mnuch earlier ins the sprinig than other gras. se-s that are indigenous to the climate or sail; has an acre ofit planted; catn be cut ten or twelve times a year. The time for cutting is when it begins to bloom ; is fine for horses cattle and hogs; should be plan ted on a sndy soil, in rows 15 to 18 inches a part. Atngust she proper time, as it would require less trouble to get it ahead; bus the spring wouald answer; was tender. and like the turnip patch, nice treatmsent was necessary to get it in a good growing way:i whea It has got possession, ruos out other grasses ; is somewhat exhaustinig to land, thterefore so be occnsinnally manu red.

From is own experience and obsservation thinks in superior so the common Clover, Tim's hy or Herd's Grasis, either for hay or soil ing, the yield being very great; as much as thirty ttns have been obtained from she variouscuttitngs thsough the year. and is stisfied, that the general introduction of its culture by planters and farmers would end much to the economy of raising stock. Col. W. J- Taylor thought that the So iety abould meet oftener, and on motion, made by him, an extra meeting will be held o the first Thursday in October. Capt. B..Boykin then moved an adjourn rent, which was carrIed. I.un semN Se.... From the Mobile Journal. We have been favored by a friend, willi n copy of a letter addressed to him, from the interior of india, by one of our coun trymen who went out on an engngement with the East India Company to improve the cultivation of Cotton in that region. We make the following extracts which may be interesting to our readers, coining from the other sile of the world, from a p lain woking native of this part of the United States. CALPrE, May 10th, 1841. " am now about six hundred miles from Calcutta in the District of Bund!ecund, and have commenced bnsiness after a sort or faihion. As to labor I can get plenty such as it is; one of our negroes will do more work titan five oft he natives. They are something like our Choctaw Indians, at home, only much inferior in strength, courage anI energy. There is no forest for them to roam in here, as the Choctaws have, and they are therefore compt-lIed to make a living such as it i.e, by labor, and the rent to th-! Government eats out the profits of all they do cultivate. The land here all belong' tip the Government, and the natives have to pay the rent for using it. The rent is from thiee to nine rubees per Begha. according to situation; the nearer a well the higher the rent, three beghas make about in acre of our men suremeni. This grinds them down so hari that thev rarely attempt to make more than a eere living, Which is nothltsg hut a little rice. There art few of them that ever get animal rood at all. so you may jttac what sort ofcreatures they are fur labor, compared with nur negroes at the South. I do say that this is a great deal more slavery than that of the slives of North America. You may say they have no mtaster to order them to their wnrk as you d1o slaves, but they are nothing like as well provided foro ras h.ippy. You can hire the best men here far five pice a day, wo men and boys at two to three pice, there are -13 pice in a rubee, and a ruhee is worth about 45 cents of our motey-so you see the free laborer here gets less tban 5 cents per day, or one dollar and a half per mstih with which to clothe and feed themselves and pay rent to government. Bdtdes this, there are other ei'umstan ces against this being an agricultural couo - try. There is hardly any timber fit for use. I bave seen no tree, since I have been - higherA.- i - k" A% branch. There are tin horses fit iar work, except the Arabian brought fron Persia. .nd sold at high prices, from hundreds up to two thousasuu rubees, which is too much for any hrm hirse. so we have nothing to depend on for ploughing. but very small oen. much iniferior to those in America. We may make about 20 pounds of cotion to the acre. and three acres to the lnd. n hich will he about 000 pouind', or a bale atndl a half oif our weight to the hand. but I have not yet beard of more than 100 pounds to the nere, nud that of very infe rior stuff comparred with .issisijpi cot tIs. S6ll as tlis ii nmuch better than the native cultivaiion, I may do quite as well frtr myself at homne, for I am disposed to I think the government will be liberal. I shdall nevertheless, return to America at the close of lmy engagemient. Trhe native iress here is nothintg hut a strip of cloth tied round the tiddle and at turban on the head of antother strip. the rest of the body in both ,xes is taked ex. posed to the suit and weather. The wo men yout may judhge of. w h tn I say they are more oftiensive than the Choctaw wo. ten. If anv diflerence, the Choctaws have it." The writer's route to India, was .cn dotn, Paris, Lyotns, Malta, Alex -*dria, down thte Nile to Cairn. thentce by tn-- n ny or the Red Sea to Htombta. anud Calcuta. a journey. which while it ex-ited the wonder or a Mississippi cottotn grower, served al-o t riie his diecust at nmany thinigs which met his eye and hii. oter senses, antd catn sed him to 'leclare htittself tmore of an A. nmerican titan ever." E.Vtt.AsTtYO PEA. In the course osf cunversation, a few days since, Getn. Overton, or Louisiaontt. for merly of Virginin. informed1 us. that he thogzht a pea. cultivated in his Sta:e, would be a great acquisition to this cou:: try. Hie saya it is called the everlaming pea, that the vinte is so luxuriant chat it freqently runs to t wenty feet. and the pea so hardy. thatit will lie either ott, or under, the ground f'nr the whole winter without rotting, thus afiordittg a continued tand most luxuriant pasturage. Its fermiliziog proerties are such, that two crops turne-i in are foutnd to make the lanid too rich for the cutltivation of cotton. and one, even af er it hcas been pastured. is sufficient tuo re store the originial rertility after the culti vation of the most exhausting crop. We should he extremely oblige-1 to any of our subiscribers In Louisiana, who will contrive us a rew or the seed or this valua ble plant.-Sothernt Planter. THlE "5KINtsot SYsvEM," &c. Mr. J. R. Moser, or Flint Rock. Lincoltn co. N. C.. gives the following account of the "skinning system,'' as practiced itt that part or the Unitedi States! "The 'skining system' is the only sys tern that is generally in vogue among us, and that is practiced1 by sotme (excuse the expression) on an inmproved plan, ror they plant their fields year after year. in corn, and use no implement in its culture except a wretched fixture called a shovel-plow. with which they scraUpe their land, or per haps at times the additiont of a hoe.
