IMPROVES COTTON CULTURE.-Tho energy and intelligence of tho Souihern planter is being brought to lear in numerous effort9 to enlargo the amount of cotton grown per acre as well ad to im? prove the quality, and we are hopeful that a rapid advance may be looked for In this direction in u short time. Ihe Yorkville (S. C.) Enquirer, of tho 14th instant, says : A gentleman in Edgefltld, in this State, raised last year fifteen hundred pounds of lint cotton to one acre of land. He planted two sta'ks to the hill, at a distance of o*ght feet each way. 'Ihe hills were prepared each way os it for transplanting fruit trees, being dug down to adi-pth of twenty inches and two feet diameter. Sandy loam and manure were then fill? ed in, and the serds planted. The enormous yield is attributable to tho thorough sub-BO!ling, tho man? ure and the space-the latter being euffici* nt to al? low the rayB of the sun to penetrate to the lower branches of the plant and dcvelope these tully. As cotton is essentially a sun plant, never thriving un? less fully supplied with sun warmth, the philosophy of this method is at once apparent. Another method has been tried in Union District wiih the Dixon im? proved seed. This is t > subsoil deeply, and plant in hills three feet each way, thinning out tho plants when largo enough, to two in each hill About lif teeu hundred pounds of seed cotton to the acre was obtained from a five acre field planted, late iu the spring, in thu way. NORTHERN RADICALS ON SOUTHERN PBOS PECTB.-The New York Tribune of Wedne?day says: Border State and Southern bonds cont'nu? strong and active. The question of free labor eeeins to bo solving itseh very rapidly in tbe South; from all tho accounts we have the plantera of cotton and sugar are realizing the fact that they arc makins more out ol free labor than they ever did out of slave. The rise in p'antations during tho past few moi.ths has been verv great. The New Orleans Crescent buys of sugar plantations: "Plantations whioh were bought for $10,000 two years ago, the owners now could get $80,000 for. One which was bought about two months ago for $130,000, the owner refused $170,000 for. Of course, this is not to be wondered at, when tho net proceeds of plantations that can be bought for $30,OCO or ?40.000, with an outlay of $15,000 or $21.G00, will make a crop ol' $6C,000 or $80,000 por annum. Capi? talists, every body knows, are very cautious; but when the results arc BO patent as this year, it is no wonder that Western mon are going along the river examining and selecting plantation-! for permanent settlement." Based upon thin advance in real estate and the general peace and prosperity of the entire South, it is not surprising tnat Northern capitalista should bf large lnves'orsin Southern bonds, and this accounts for the advance in Alabama, Georgia and Louisiaua bonds. There is no reason why these eix percent, securities, which now ee'.l at from 67>?a80 per cent., should not soon approach, the prices of United tates currency bouda,and nil Northern States bonds, which sell at from lC0al02, which they inevitably will do under, the present proH?erotr?. etat* of the country. Yesterday the market for southern State securities was steady, with loss doing. & good in? vestment demand is reported.

THE STEAMSHIP MABMOBA.- This oteamert which will be employed on the Charleston and Liv? erpool line, was prevented (rom taking her regular place by the injuries and detention she sustained in the terrible gale which is reported as follows by her 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 the 21st ult., and makes the following report: "Four of the crew were maimed and. wounded, arising from injuries vt oeived in the fearful gale of the 14th ult. and tile following days, when the steamer was seriously damaged, aiid had a narrow escape cf going down, I owing to the dangerous nature of the cargo. The Marmora left Cardiff on tho 6th ult, and experienced very severe weather"up to Monday, tho 14tb, when,as far west os 20 degrees, she encountered the full force of one of the moat violent storms ever experienc? ed. The gafe was terrific in tho ' extreme, and raged with fury for some days, the ship, crew and cargo being completely at its mercy, while tho sea washed over her to such a height as to float the life boats attached to the davits. The bows of the steamer were stove in, and tho bulwarks shivered to atoms, the bridge and deckhouse were totally carried ow?y. and everything on the deck fell a prey to the violence of wind and water, i he plate bown having g voa way, it wa3 feared the Marino.a would hove gone to picceB. but she was kept Wdll be? fore the wind, as the only chance lef. The suffer? ing endured by the seamen upon the occasion was extrem% AB the steamer dipped and tossed upon ti o ocean, the railway iron was heaved against the deck*, completely driving them up, and the steamer was looked upo l as all but lost. Hhe was drivea from a distinco of seven hundred miles into the shannon, and came to ano or at Tarbert Boad* on Saturday night. Two of the crew have been tent to Barrington'.- Hospital-John Dunn in a dangerous state, with traduced head ?nd logs and several bad wounds in different parts of tho body: Araman Fannie is (a black), a native o! Martinique, w th broken tiiigh, fracture of the bead and contusions about tho back and chest. Two others of tho crow are in a private lodging-house, under metdcal treat? ment, abd are reporto a as sick or disabled.

Meurt. S. A. Dunham <? Co.: . GENTLEMEN-In an - wer to your Inquiries in refer? ence to u.y experience with pacific tl mino, I regret that I max unable to state facts based on oarefully made experiments. In 1867 I used but two ba^s Pa? cific-one lo corn, tho otb r to cotton. It was used by the side of No. 1 Peruvian-th? same money value per sere-applied at tue seme time and in the same way ns tho Peruvian. Tho young cotton grew off earlier where the Pacific was used, and reached an earlier maturity. X think Uio relative yield was about the same on both corn and cotton. ?Ch? past year I used (li) eleven tons Pacific Guano again by ''the tide of No. 1 Peruvian. I intended to note care? fully the relative yield, but tba experiment was lost on account of my absence from home at the time of gathering. I proposa using both the Paefflo and Peruvian next year, with the view of determining which rays best The Paciflo gives young planta tua earlier start which I think will make it a valuable manure for cotton. I applied both Pecina and mu? vlan to my turnip crop; the crop ia nearly a failure, and worst where tbe Paciflo was used-both were used at the rate of two bags per acre. I have never applied the Paciflo to the potatoes, wheat or oat?. I am, very reapectfalty. Your ?bedient servant K. T. SrACKflOU?F. i m mm no - ' -WO'VX?Hi?. MASQUERADE SUITS TO Hmjs, at E.
