If he be counted a great benefactor of! i tnnnkin'i win causes two blades o| grass to J grow where ou'v one bar! previously "imwii. : s how innch greater is ho who has discovered j : a plan of rearing two stalks of cotton where i s < n!y one. had but pooriy succeeded before, j 1' Gov. MeDulfic lias ch voted much attention.! " and with great success, to the making of t!i? j 1 great American stap'e. cotton; he has car-: rie;l the cultivation of thru plant to the high- ! 1 est perfecti??n. Having devoteil the most j i?f his time to the service of his ronntrv, anfl j residing at Cherry 11 ill. nine miles distant ^ from his pinnfati ?n. he has never been ena-! bled to carry out fully his syste ji of plan- j ting, until he obtained the services ofh:s present overseer, Mr. Cheatham?in regard to whorr^S take great pleasure in saving that he is one of the best managers ! have ever t ? i seen. I 1 The plantation was commenced in ISCl.i i with about three hundred acres ii^as been t enlarged at various times to the capacity of: , 5000 acres; situated in the flat uo->d< <>f 1?- I \ heville District, six miles from the Savanahriver. The number of negroes on the plan- r ta'ionis 173; of these many an; employed r at in-door occupation*, leaving 100 (i< Id . workers, many of whom are stna'l. h ivmg ( but recent I v left lite nursery, and n number ( of them women, who oceupv much of thrirj \ - - - I.,.;.. ,i,nt i .

The number of mules CI. ; i I found that this force had prepared and cu'ti- j j vated with great ease 750 acres: of cotton.! i 325 of corn. 10 of peas, potatoes run! I i squashes, 100 of wheat, nod 300 ol oats. ! The cotton was thinned to a stand of one 1 < staik in a place: it was perfectiv clean, an i j was the largest and most beautiful I had ! | seen this year. The corn was particularly i < fine, and promised to yield from 25 to 30 j t I)' she Is per acre; the wheat 10 bushels, and j | the oats 15 per acre, and the cotton 1000 . t lbs. per acre. These estimates are made by { ( neighbors who are acquainted with the mode r of culture, and who know that a greater ! i vie Id than this had been obtained under the j , administration of a former overseer, a Mr j; Brooks. The buildings, fences, and siniesj ( were in fine order, and the whole crop in as ; j fine a state of cultivation as the garden of a i horticultnralist who prides in his profession. ( Tiie inules were fat, and the entire stock of! < sheep, cattle, and hogs looked well Here; is a plantation euliivatmg over 15 acres of ; t plow ami boo crop tr? tin; hnnn. and over 2 I i acres to the hand inclusive of small grain. ( and over 01 acres to the horse; what p:a:i-! i tation can equal this? Yet the "titire crop : . clean. even, and beautiful, and lie; condition of the land so perfectly fine and pulverized, f that, as was sn:d hy a great p'anlr r iri the i < neighborly?od, it could ru?t l?e improved cv ! | cept by the process of running it t'ir*?tii;!i a ! : .sieve. The whole secret of the success of j ( Gov. McDuffio. as a planter, consists iu his i t method of preparation, manuring and cu!;i- j , vation. I The following plan is adopted for cotton : | If the ground to lie prepared for cotton had , | been in cotton the previous year, the first ! i operation is to puii up the old stalks and lay ; them in them in the middle, between the i rows; a hand then walks backwards, and j j draws in the soil, leaves, and trash from the j ridges, with the hoc, upon the stalks that i < have been pulled up and deposited in thuji row, and on which ho walks. Ties opera- j ! tion is called listing in. The task f?rn hand ' i ts half ao acre per day. After all is lister! i in, the turning shove! throws a furrow on j each side which en'ircly hides the stalks and : trash listed in; this is the first use made o! the plough and two furrows fire made; tw>; i more furrows, run in like manner, ins! be- ' fore planting, finishes the preparation, so fur ' as the plough is concerned, the hoe then j * draws up from between lie; rows ail the < loose dirt. Tims twice passing over with I i the hoc and four furrows of the plough makes ; < a perfect preparation for planting on a ridge i i well manured with stalks en'l cotton tra?d?, | < and whatever of weeds and grass that mnv < be on the land. But if the ground to be ] prepared for cottm had been in corn or grain, or fallow, the same process exactly is 1 " c f . I. . oiwerveu, omv mat one more nirrow m iuc i plough is required, and that is a rooter or i broad ?hovc' to lay off the ro^s into which I the stalks, grass or stubble arc ?!mw11 to become manme f??r the cotton !>ct! ??r ri?i<io. When the period for planting arrives, tin: hands arc iliv (le<! into p.ret* classes: 1st. The best hands, embracing tli*?s?* of good judgement and quick motion. 2. Those o! ilie weakest an i most inefficient class. Cd, I lie second class of hoe hands. Thus classified, the first class will run ahead and open a small h??le about seven or j ten inches apart, into which the 2d class j h"p from four to five c*(t<>n seed, and the i third class follow and cover with a rake, j V?.u havo visiter! this farm and en" testily to j he goodness of the stand of cotton, and to j he regular nnr! exact distance <d 'he stalks j: fom each other.

M^TtE A EDUCTION.?A rase of a'wluction has lately occurred in Brooklyn, N.

Nercs>iiy required that I lie i r daughter should find some kind of employment. nnrl a shnrt time sine?, a plain-looking girl cntno fn t lie house and asked the mother it she did tint wish to nb>. lain a situation fur her, at the same lime stating llie wages and n'are. The mother not stispecling au\tiiiiiff wrung, gladly accepted tlie offer, ant! immediately despatched her daughter with llie girl. In the evening the father came home ami immediately asked for his daughter, when his wife said that she had found a idare. He rfcplied that it was not so, for a friend had told him thai his daughter was seen crossing over the l iver with a li'mn'e dressed in gaudy apparel and of notoriously lwd character. Upon ma> king enqicry.they found that their daughter hat I not obtained the situation as alleged, hut that ft story had been framed to entire her into a house of assignation in N. Yotk. The dis. tracted parents have not vet been able to obtain any clue to her wlierenlcuts, A tmncr of Mind and Baby.?Recently r man and Ids wife took ilie ears at Auhnrp, N.
