IMPBOVED COTTON CULTUBE_The energy and intelligence of the Southern plautor ls being brought to lear in numerous efforts to enlarge the amount of cotton grown per acre as well as to im? prove the quail ty, and we are hopeful that a rapid advance may be looked for in this direction tn a short time. IheYorkville (S. C.) Enquirer, of the 14th instant, says : A gentleman in Edgefield, in this State, raised last year fifteen hundred pounds of lint cotton to one acre of land. He planted two stalks to the hip, at a distance of e:pht feet each way. 'J bc hills -nero prepared each woy as it for transplanting fruit trees, being dug down to a depth of twenty inches and two feet diameter. Sandy loam and manure were then fill? ed in, and the seeds planted. The enormous yield ls attributable to the thorough sub-soiliug, thc man? ure and the space-thc latter being ?ufflci?ntto al? low the rays of the sun to penetrate to the lower branches ot the plant and develope these tully. As cotton is essentially a sun plant never tb ri vim: un le? - fully supplied with sun warmth, the philosophy of this method is at once apparent. Another method has been tried iu Union District with the Dixon im piwed seed. This is 11 subsoil deeply, and plant in bills three feet each way, thinning out the plants when large enough, to two in each hill. About fif? teen hunored pounds of seed cotton to the acre was obtained trr.m a five acre field planted, late in the spring, in thi.- way. NOBTHEBN RADICALS ON SOUTHERN PBOS PECIS.-The New York Tribune of Wednesdoy says: Border State and Southern bonds continu? strong and active. Thc question of free labor seems to be solving it-eli very rapidly in the South; from all the accounts wc have tho planters of cotton and sugar are realizing the fact that they are makins more out ot ftee labor than they ever did out of slave. The rise ic plantations during tho past few mot.ths has been verv groat Thc New Orle, ns Crescent hays of sugar plantations : "Plantations which were bought for $10,000 two years ago, the owners now could get $30,01)0 ?or. One which was bought about two months agj for $130,?J0, the ownerrefused $170,000 for. Of course, this is not to be wondered at, when the net proceeds of r'ontations that can be bought for $30,0C0 or ?40,u00, with on outlay of 515,000 or $2J,?U0, will make a crop of $CC',000 or $80,000 per annum. Capi? talists, every body knows, are very cautious; but when thc results ore so patent as this year, it is no wonder that Western mon are going aloo'g the river examining and selecting plantations for permanent settlement." Based upon this advance in real estate and the general peace and prosperity of the entire South, it is not surprising t nat Northern capitalists should be large investor* in Southern bonds, and this aeco nts for the advance In Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana bond?. There is no reason why these Fix percent, securities, which now sell at from 87j?a80 per cent, should not soon approach the prices of United States euri ency bonds, and all Northern States bonds, which sell at from lC0ai02, which they inevitably will do under tho present prosaerou- slate of the country. Yesterday the market for Southern State securities was steady, with less doing. A good in? vestment demand! is reported.

THE STEAMSHIP MABMOBA.-Thia steamer which will be employed on the Charleston and Liv? erpool line, was prevented from taking her regular placo by the injurie s and detention she sustained in the tembl? gale which is reported as follows by ber commander: Captain Robinson, master of the iron steamer Marmora, of Bartiepool, bound from Cardiff to Ban? gor, United States, with one thousand tons railway iron, arrived, in the shannon on tho 2ls; nit,, and makes the following icport: "Four of tho crew were maim d and wounded, arising from injuries received in the fearful gale of the 14th ult and tho following days, when the steamer was seriously damaged, aLd had a narrow escape rf going down, owing to the dangerous nature of the cargo. The Marmora left Cardiff on tho 5 tb ult, and experienced very severe weather up to Monday, the M th, when,as far west as 20 degrees, she encountered tho full force of one of the mo:-t violent storms ever experienc? ed. The gale was terrific in the extreme, and raged with fury for some days, the ship, crew and cargo being completely at its mercy, while tho sea washed over hor to such a height as to float the life? boats attached to the davits.

Dunham a Co.: GENTLEMEN-In an-wer to your inquiries in re fer? ence to cy experience with Pacific Guano, I rcgi ot that I am unaole to s:ate facts based ou carefully made experiments. In 1837 I used Lut two bogs Pa? cific-one to corn, the oth r to cotton. It was urcd by the side of No. 1 Peruvian-the sama money value per acre-applied at tao sume time and in tue same woy as the Peruvian. The young colton r-rew off earlier whore the Pacific was used, and reached an earlier maturity. 1 think the rotative yield was about the same on both corn and cotton. The past year I used (ll) ele vn tons Pacific Guano again by thc side of No. 1 Peruvian. I ii tended to note care? fully the relative yield, but (be experiment was lost on account of my absence from hoiuo at the time of gathering. I propose using both tho Pacific and Peruvian next year, with the view of determining which ray? best The Pacific gives young plants an earlier start which I think will ma'. o it a valuable manure for cottys. I applied both Pacific aud IfxUr vian to my turnip crop; the crop is nearly a failure, aud worst where the Pacific was used-both were used at the rate cf two bags per acre. I have never applied the Pacific to the potatoes, wheat or oats. I am, very respectfully. Your obediont serrant, E. T. SIACKHOUSE. BUS1NKSS iNOTlCJBJS. MASQOEBADE SUITS IO LTIBE, at E.

His untirias enorgy-his eminent ability-his on Iargcd experience-his firm yet courteous discharge of the delicate duties of his position-bis enlightened interest in the welfare ot the community, and his de. votion to the iuterests of the bank, have been of in? calculable service to our city and this institution. Hia place cannot be readily supplied or easily tilled. We who were h's associates, and who enjoyed such full opportunity of seeing how efficiently he met and how ably he discharged the duties devolving upon him, desire to make some enduring record of our estimate of him as a man of business- of our respect and esteem for his character, and of our regard tor him os our friend; be it, lhere'ore, Resolved, That tho Board of Directors of the Peo? ples' National Bank noam in sorrow the death of their late President, DONALD L.

Severe bilious at'jcks are moro common in spring, bummer and autumn thu iu winter, but tho seri? ous disorders of the liver which so often occ ur at those season.', might ho traced, in hundreds of in? stances, to winter indulgences and their neglected consequences. More highly seasoned food is eaton, more flory drinVs Imbibed, in cold than ia warm weather, and thus tho biliousness u produced which, under a warmer temperature, culminates in remit? tent and intermittent fevers. The very best medicine for persons who ore either a LITTLE or a OOOD DEAL bilious, is H03TET TER'd STOMACH BITTERS. No blue pill or calo? mel U required m such cases. Those powerful mineral medicines cut two ways, like a double edged sword. They act, it is truo, upon tho liver, but react most deleteriously o a other parts of the system. They "stick" there, and cannot be got rid of. The Litters ccaluiu vegetable agents of an anti bilious tendency, that prod CM a specific and most genial effect upon the biliary organ, without entail? ing any evil cons?quences whatever. They are altogether wholesome, and act favorably and simul? taneously upon tho stomach, the h vcr, the bowels, the nerve rs system, and tho brain. January IC DAO 6 <3" AUDITOR'S OFFICE.
