So far as,this rule affects t .Waties, poin', 't is perhaps' well, but as it I j cannot apply to tho well known wants of , our Bar and Channels, we think Mr. Curds ( was wrong in the construction of his report., i But it matters little, for Congress would not t ; have attended to the report, or rcpor's in ' any shape.

If the American will inform lis of the precise nature and extent of the difficulties in the way of navigation below Georgetown which it aims to remedy, we will cotnnjuni/ ate the information to our readers , aud endeavor to stir up the planters and merchants of this neighborhood to peli tion Congress on the subject. At present wc know too little about the matter to say or do any thing. The suggestion in the following communication of establishing a system of inspection of cotton, comes from a highly respectable planter. We invite attention to it. . For the Farmers* Gazette. Sumlcrville, July 31, IS40. Sir:?Your goodness in publishing a |)ie?*c of mine has emboldened me again to trespass on you. The quantity of land to be planted to each hand must depend on the nature of the soil, and the number of ploughs to he used. The young planter will be aided in forming an opinion on this head be die usage of his vicinity. The difficulty is in adjusting the relative proportions of land for provisions, such as corn, (with peas interspersed,) potatoes &c and that for market crops, such as cotton, rice, wheat, indigo, hemp and pindars. 1 think the proportion of land should be in favor of the provision crop rather than of that for market. The benefit of a greater production of provisions would be that our stock would be much improved in size, strength^ and health, and the quantity of milk be greatly increased?a large proportion i?f the proceeds of our market. A great crop would then remain with the planter to increase ins estate, ana not ue expended in the purchase of meat, jorscs, mules,,&c. as is now the practice willr too many. The quantity ot cotton, fee. would be much diminished but the jualitv improved; which would raise at lotne and abroad the character of this staple, and I have no doubt enhanse the wire and expedite the sale. The article ?f Cotton is cultivated too much with a iew to the quaiitity'and not the quality, dould the planters-be brought to believe :hat it would be to their interest to have :heir Gottorx all out of the field by the niddle of ^November, the most of it would be of tli'e 1st and 2nd quality, nstcad of 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, &c. qualiies: it Would be clean being better handed: & it would be sooner in or ready for narket. The planter would have more" ime to improve his plantation, in clearng laird, putting up and repairing juihllngs and fences, draining and making manure for the succeeding crop.? l.le would feel himself more independent: nuch of tire , winter might be spent by he females in spinning and making' :loths for summer. 1 may be asked, how is this regulation' :o be eftecteilr?I answer by legislative ictifln. Hut one may say, I have a ight to plant what, and as much as 1, dense, atul to restrain me, would be to nfringe upon my rights. I humbly hink not so. The object of all governncnts is to irtake laws for the individual ml general good, although they may ppear to infringe upon personal rights, take it for granted that every person in becoming a member of society gives ip some riglits to be secured in others, fhe legislature may establish an insoecion of Cotton, the establishing of which j m doubt would improve the character j f our Cotton. Flour, Pork, Tobacco, j 5cc. are now inspected in some states nupli to the bcnctit of the growers of itcse articles. I presume 1 have said Miough to draw attention to tliis subject :o excite persons better qualified than hyself to undertake the discussion of it. 1 hope what I have written may draw vat experienced planters and able writers, to cither support my views or suggest better. The subject is one of mportance and one on which much may 3e said. * .. ' ShouM I be tliougiit to have suggested in unwise measure, or one of injurious xndency, 1 hope the error may be attributed to my inexperience. My wish is [o improve the agricultural character of my country. TYRO. IRlsif POTATOES. Cedar Hill Anson Co. N. C. ) Aug. 3rd. 1840. ? Dn.

I lave raised a considerable quantity this sumner weighing from 11 to 1G ounces and meas. lring from 10 to 11 inches in circumference. My mode of raising them is as follows.

In these trenches I ml a small quantity of Stable or other strong nanure, drop the potatoc and fill the trenches vith half rotted straw or trash from the woods >r barnyard. I then low 1 the ground, and scatter leaves or other trash about four orfiye nches deep ail over the surface, which keeps ho ground moist and prevents the weeds and jrass from growing.

After having travelled about six miles eastward, near a place called 44Cow Creek," they were killed and scalpedby Indians, where their bodies were fourwl by the express rider from the Suwannee. Capt. Ellis, in command of Fort Gi.lliland, as soou as the intelligence reached, him, repaired to the spot with twenty ^men, and interred the bodies, lie found it impossible, however, to trail the Indians, and returned to Ncwnansville. ft is supposed they followed the creek to its mouth, whore it empties into the San* j ta Fe, and there crossed the river about I two miles from the scene of murder. ?.
