From the Franklin Farmer;
MR. StBVBpfSoN:
The undersigned has read Mr; Allen
eeany in your No.. February lsti with atter
lion. Some eight or ten years since* whil
riding my hobby at my leisdrc, and ihinh
ing no harm, an adversary pounced upo
me very unceremoniously, and, as I though
v#?rv unnecessarily. Ho w the war was a I
ter wards waged, would be tedious to relal
at present. It was protracted, ho wever, an
not without its incidents ; but peace wns fi
nally concluded, and no wisli is entertain^
on my part to enter into controversy wit
any human being, the residue of my dnyi
much less with so M glorious, a fellow" a
your friend Allen. 1 would much ruth*
taste with him your u barbacue," and St
your fin** Horses and Durha tis, and admit
your iuJturiaut blue grass pastures. As fa
Mtes, t haVe no particular fondues for their
rfaough I reckon R. Cyrus and Wonder hav
ft* tang years as the longest { and us fo
muKnsk Gen. W. 0. H ardmg*-*-his ares
large and stout, a strangle, who should cot
rectiy report, might be suspected ofhavinj
usurped the traveller's privilege.
Before attempting to sustain my own op
inions, or to reply to those advanced b;
Mr, \ it would not, perhaps, be amiss !<
give you a passing notice. You forese
there is to be a controversy, as to the supe
rior claims of the thorough breds. And yoi
incline ngainst them for furming purposes
But you admit you have not made trial. A;
an off st-t, I plaoe the' opinion ofyour sue.
* Tenor, Mr. Pindell. He is for them, anc
after acruul and fair trial. On a .'ittJe retire,
tion, it will occur to you, that on opinion
not deliberately form?*l, ought nut tu have
been expressed in opposition to the Award
of Orlando Brown. Esq. You selected him
umpire ; I never saw him but his decision,
of course, binds me to believe he is d man oi
judgment and taste.
Now to the purpose. Had the proposi.
tion been for tbe M best essays on the Horse
and his varieties, particularly the farming
horse and roadster," the Naragansett Rockers,
the Canada Ponies, and New York
Trotters would not have been passed with
^ out notice. As evidence of the truth of thi
assertion, resolutions were in'roduced, a
our last (Joun y Society Agricultural meet
ing, to have premiums awarded at our nex
annual exhibition, to the best Trotting
Racking, and Draught Stallions. The tw<
first carried, nern. con. ; the last failed, on<
member only siding with me?the speaker*
on the opposite side holding that the mui<
is bettar adapted to our situation and want*
than the horse, of anv admixture of the drai
breed.
That .my opinions may have their dui
weight, and ihnt my prejudicial of educatiot
may do no one an injury,abridged sketchei
of my history may now be pardon^. Th<
good county of Halifax, N. Car. is my na.
tive place. A large bay gelding surroundec
by a ra'l pen, covered with bought is amonf
my earliest r.-collections. The heat hut
overcome him, and he had dropped in th<
plough, {[n the summer of 1837, sevora
in ttie neighborhood of Nashville droppeti
in Hke manner in the fields and in tin
roads.) Shortly after, I recollect to have
seen Eclipse lea home. He was a gon<
bay, handsomely murked; a son ol Baylor'!
Shakespeare mare. He is known in th<
A. T. Register as Harris's Eclipse, ant
favorably known as the sire of Ge?de'<
Brimmer, the Wilton Roan, Louisa, dart
of Peace-maker, Drew's gelding, who win
no contemptible competitor of the evuicibl*
Florixel. The next year, I remember, t
little tidy, light chesnut, round built filly
brouJ white hlaze down her face, and boil
hind leiw half up white. She was a daugif
ter of old imported chesnul Janus, out of t
sister of the not d H irlot. Eclipse w?i
ttbout 15 hands 3 indies high, and site win
about 13 1.2 hunds high. So soon us
could art on a horse I was set on tne Janui
filly. She was a good trotter, and bred u:
two fillies and a colt by EHipse, good?
one of the fillies produced a colt by a soi
of Shark, and another by Druid, both gooc
and both performed repeated long journey i
in good time, and on one occasion in par
ticular, mounted on the grand son of Siiark
returning Irom Nashville to our residence
in Carolina, with other company, wo nu:
with a Kentucky gentleman travelling east
One of my original companions was moun
led on a large horse, Tennessee bred ; tin
Kentucky gentleman was a large man, but b
was mounted on an adequately large horse

entirely, but for the fact that we encountered wt
Spencer's Hill on one of the day*.* The die
day was hot, very hot, in June. Ifhe Be
ncomparable ease with which my little ip
horSe, who was hardly lb hands, and light sul
at that, went op, afforded me the pleasure a toe
roan on a journey feels when he knows he
is on "a good one." Our Tennessee tui
friend kept company to a gap in the Blue an1
16 Ridget when he filed offto'the left, and went of
'? into Virginia. Trun, he was an older man thj
" than his then careless comrade, and his eai
in prudence regulated our stages, and saved trif

? what a hard push* for a day or two, would hir

*" The same Eclipse mare produced a filly by po
Coeurde Lion, and she a filly by Truxton^: Icn
and s ?e a colt by Timoleon* reserved for we
higher purposes* The other Eclipse mare bo
produced a filly by Silver* and she a colt tht
by Cour d? Lion, who was loo small lor a on

' on the road. I do not believe there is a un
e trotter in Norfolk, or that there is a mixed Lc
breed* with the Norfolk cross* in New Vork Mi
n that could have kept with him more than the
h three hours. I am confident* no half breed Mai
^ could bave lived with him twelve hours. I for
e rode him several years, and after I sold pri
d him he fell into the hands of S. Johnson of fig
Kentucky, and years after he was seen at to
d Lebanon, and recognized as Williams's pei
^ little sorrel, with long Sam, as he was then in
V called, on h;m. And on enquiry of Mr. fig

AMERICAN INDIAN COTTON.
Our readers are aware, no doubt, that
tain parties in England have lately
night up a auestion as to this subject;
ich materially concerns this country;
. whether there is any probability that
gland can hereafter raise her own
jplies of the new material* for her imnse
cotton manufactories. Some light
thrown on this matter, or at least on
eign views of it, by a Report; which
pears in the London Athenceum, of
>v. 23d, As it is voluminous, we anc
the whole,
"A paper was then read by Gen.
iggs, 'On the cotton trade of India.'?
e of the principal objects of this par
was to snow that the people of Hinstall
are as capable of furnishing Euje
with cotton as the inhabitants of
irth America; and that, under proper
angements, both the quantity and
ality of their produce would fulfy sufe
for all the requirements of our manu:turers,
without the necessity of our
ying on the slave-labor cotton of
nefica. The paper began with a callation
of the quantity of cotton acdly
used in dress by the natives of
iia. Specimens of the several articles
costtime were exhibited; and it was

shown that the dress of the male Hindoc
contained 24? square yards, and that ol
the female about 8? square yards, which,
allowing that they were renewed, on ar
average, at onCe a year, the consumption
would amount, among the whole population,
to 375.000,000 lbs.; and it might
be fairly inferred* from the various othet
domestic uses to which cotton was applied
in India, that as much again was
so employed, making a total annual consumption*
by the natives themselves* ol
750.000,000 pounds* The quantity inU
ported into England is froth 4 to
50Q,000,000 pounds annually, and this
is chiefly raised in America, not more

questioa naturally arises why should
this be?-*" 'Hie cause of the deficiency o(
the supply from India, Gen. Briggs stated,
were closely connected witntneadministration
of the country; he should
not further allude to them in that place,
but would proceed to demonstrate his
position, that India might supply cotton'sufficient
for the manufactures ql
England, and, if necessary; for the
whole world. It is needles to follow the
details presented, but the details presented
but the result of a great number ol
statements and reports from the best
sources, showedlevidently that scdfcety
any portion of the surface of India was
unfit tor the growth of some kind of cotton.
The great table-land of the Dekkam,
the soil of which is formed of the
debris of trap mountains, is the cottor
soil par excellence, and is suited to the
gassypitim herbaccum, the,indigeniou3 cotton
of India.
This soil lies upon limestone. It is
in vegetable matter, and is retentive ol
humidity; but in hot dry weather it
cracks into large fissures. It is at that
season hard and clayey, and brittle, like
coal; This clayey soil, so fit for the
indigenous plant, is. unsuited to that u!
America, which grows best in a iigni,
dry, sillicious soil, and as most formei
attempts to introduce the American cotton
into India have been-made upon the
trap soil of the country* they hau necessarily
failed. But the soil best adapted
to American seed is also found in Indiej
near the coasts, where the original plant
does not succeed. This was proved at
the various experimental farms established
by the bast India Company and
on which the American plant was grow
ing to perfection. In order to point out
the differences which existed betWeet
the various kinds of cotton in use, dia
f;ram was exhibited, showing the various
engths of the fibres of different kinds
In many specimens of cotton the fibre
had & flag tabe like appeareance, while
in others it looked like a string of oval
beads* pointed at each extremity. Some
kinds were more cylindrical than others,
and the Surat and Sea-Island cotton i?
thickest and narrowest, and the TaVoj
and New Orleans flattest and thinnest.
Id length of staple* the American surpasses
the East Indian, biit the latter
was the finest. Some idea of the ei?
treme minuteness of the fibre of cotton
might be formed from the fact that it required
thirty-five fibres to make the
smallest thread spun at Manchester, 350
hanks of which weighed only one PPumL
and would measure 165 miles in length)
But it had been shown that the natives
of India could spin thread with the hand)
four of which would be required to make

From the Farmer's Cabinet;
BOILERS;
In some former numbers of the Farmers'
Cabinet I have read essays on the
n/l?mnlAfwAA /?f tlrvtJinrv rvrai D
SUUJCtlin UlC auvauiajto ui uvnmg ?iain
and roots for stock, which arrested my
attention and induced me to examine
some of the boilers which are in operation,
and I find that they far exceed the
expectation farmed of them. Those who
have erected them in d proper manner
and have brought them into use for cooking
corn, oats, and potatoes, for hogs
and cattle, would not be willing to part
with them for three times their original
cost; A farmer who has had one in use
for some years, says that he is now sure
his stock gets the whole of the grain, and
what is of great consequence, it is all
digested; There is now no going to mill
and giving away ten per cent, of the
grain besides, the otherwise unavoidable
waste which some allege amounts k
about four per cent. more. He says, the
feeding of cows with boiled oats is the
most profitable application, of it which
he has ever made, for it puts marrow intc
their bones, and *n the spring and summer
the dairy maids draw it out in the
shape of tine rich butter, which brings a
good price since these piping days o!
steam-boats and rail-roads whieh have
set the whole world a travelling. Some
have erected expensive structures foi
