We dug, weighed and measured the crop on the 28th September. It weighed 525 pounds, and measured nine bushels. They are undoubtedly the most productive varity of potatoe we ever met with. The 3 tubers first imported, cost 45 dollars." ?ALSO? Received oil consignment, A small quantity of the Alvarado or Twin Cotton seed, at $2 50 a hag, containing a pint.

All new discoveries in the Sciences and Yrts. a< well as interesting papers relating to either, will be immediately noticed, and when of sufficient interest will be transferred t.? our columns; or such extracts given as will ftirn sh full information to our readers. In the Agsicultural department, special attention will be paid to the great interests of the South. From our Planters, we will endeavor to obtain much practical and useful information which now lies buried and known hut to themselves. In order that we may the more fully and effectual-! | ly carry out this part of our plan, we pro- ' pose to make frequent excursions into the different sections, not only of this, but also of the adjoining States, for the purpose of personally inspecting and reporting on all the various operations which may be ! 1 1.? ttrnm:iv visit. carricu mi, uu mr By persuing this plan steadily, (as we hope to do) much highly Useful information will be obtained, which cannot fail to be of immense service to the Agricultural,1 community, inasmuch as our planters will thus become acquainted with the practices of other sections of the country, and may from time to time adopt such as may promise a greater re.compcnce, than those, thev may at the lime foHow. Nor shall we confine ourselves to practical informa?1__ 1...1 it,A a,n,nc nri'nmv.

Horticulture will also claim onr attention, and we will endeavor to raise it fioin the low estate in which it now exists amnng us to one more worthy of it- We will accordingly give not only practical directions, for the cultivation of Fruits, Flowers and Vegetables, but entering into the scientific department, we will publish whatever we may find interesting.? Descriptions of new fruits, flowers and vegetables, as well as their culture, will be given from lime to time. The forcing department, which is but little attended to, in the South, embracing the formation huil ding and management of hot beds, conservatories and hot houses will also be attended to. Domostic and Rural Economy will not be needpeted. but whatever wc can find ' ~ ~ ? o - ' likely t?? promote either, will be given in our columns. Sporting Intelligence, Anecdotes. On Dits, and various miscellaneous matters? which cannot well be classed, will swell our pages, and add interest to our periodical. In furtherance of our object, we will do all in our power to render this periodical highly interesting and instructive, and one which shall be welcomed by every mem-1 bcr of such families as may patonise it.? j To effect this, while we hope to contribute our share to the Original Literature of the day, as well as to add considerably i to the slock of Agricultural information, yet we will freely draw from the sources - - I opcil 10 US, 111 uie nuiiivimia .<un>, , monthly and quarterly publications, which J embracing every subject, abound not only in America, but also in Europe, and from these we will select only such articles as may prove highly interesting or instructive. The sources which are open to us in each department are ample, and we trust we shall be able to rentier the South- i ehn Compendium a highly acceptable visi-j jcr wherever known. Political and religions discussions will! be excluded, and while we have our pro-' ference to both, yet we will not admit of any thing which may be likely to wound the feelings of our readers.
