M. ik having ? obligingly i omulicd with ??nr request, wo I Lave now the pleasure of nuking public the (information contained hi hU letter addressed to otic of t'lL* uliUin. Dkaii Si 11?Some weeks since, 1 received ii letter from Early county, requesting ntc to make * communication, u)kmi the toil best adapted to the growth of Sngnr Cane ami the. manufacturing of sugar j and to make thin communication either through yoUr paper or the Journal. Our cottverMtfoii of this morn ing, hos recalled to my memory this request, - a .41. ^. ii . i>r ahu liriT* *??*? ?i?ft ???n* # ' growth of the sugar cane, I have "narked of course, through the vuriotu seasons of i hut eventful period, many things that it might be well for tlie young blunter to-Uiiow,but which ItUdUfkuUto detail. In the general, nowfotf* ination thatUbeuelicUlcan be derived from the Wot Indict.) their soil, their climate, their habit* aye *11 foreign to us. The six months tliat nature has given to the'iu for ihe prepcrution mid maiuiloctory of their mi gar, has shed o\ cr the whole economy of their establishments a slownssa of movement, tltnt neither belong* lo our people or olir climate, it is-hiLouUiuuu alone, t hut realaltdbeiicftvi.il ietorination can be obtained ujhhi the subjit t of sugar, li I* there, where treat is trending upon the heels of the cultivator, and forbid* ding him to sleep or to slumber, until his wo? itf accomplished, that we may lc?im what to do, and how to do it. The success of th? sugaf growers of Louisiana, U general ly attributed to their soil. I have been there ?their soil I believe hi no degree superior to onr nun?their climate 1 aui satisfied is much worse. When 1 was in Looisiiuia, there wa* not unorungc tree,hi the state bearing fruit?they have been destroyed twice within the limits of my own iuforma tion to the very root, in wit, in tlie wlntera'of ! 1796?7 ami 1.2.'. They have not been des troyed in (J coram to the root since tie lira I settlement made by Oglethorpe. In Louisiana they urc obliged to retain one sixth of all their caiic for i c-planting; and to Imve that portion curchilly put up bilo matt rusti before the first day of November: or one eold night destroys the hope* of next ye fin and yet they have abandoned hi a great mea sure nil but the hardiest description of cane, the creolc cane of the West Indies. The Otahcitc or Cirecti cane they rarely venture Upon. Tlicre, the/ have but one description of soil, the alluvions of the river, and these are stifT and cold?line wo hove a variety of soil, ndupted iu sonic degree to the various descriptions of cane, and the only.eMect of our enquiry should be, what soil within our reach is bc?t udaptcd to give 41s a moderate but certain return for our lubuur. And ott this point I have no queuion, but that light mil*, which are noticed to be quick and kind* lr hi their production, and which arc not too much elevated, Will prove the best. Iu fact any land that in the beginning will produce a moderate crop, will be improved by the cultivation of cunc upon it) so great is the re sldttum that the crop leaves bemud it, under stand^ distinctly however, that the cone is to be alternated with either cotton or pota toes, or some other plant with largo leaves ttnd strong roots. Flouts of this character* era hi their nature the opposite* of the Cafte plont; they penetrate and bietflMhc solh the Cane by Its roots upon the surface bind and stiffen it. This with me la not theory but the result of twelve years experience. An other benefit arising from the cultivation of light sandy soils, is, that fronts, at the ap proof h of winter are more temperate, and that moderate froit* Improve the juices of the cane, while the cold when'more severe congeal* those juiccs, and in the act of frcca iog, the tind of the cane is rent, uud the juices are fcvaporutcd and weakened. The alluvi an soils of tlie river or. the lower grounds up on the creeks will no doubt produce a much superior growth <>f cane, front which howev or, it is more difficult to make sugar; and ihe sugar of which Is always inferior. In fine, every day's cxperieftcc satisfies me, that lighter soils will iu the end be more profita ble, while they are certainly cultivated with leas labor to men and animals than those of a Iieavler quality. If however rhrer lands or nw lanaTef an/ description nrc selected, upon such 1 would unquestionably cultivate the ribbon cane, because upw those sells, the luxni AJft* lltltm ulullilluat# iWnn ? ?..^n npnn<i)(mcr which rsinovtw one of the mMori*! ub jectlnn* to thw cuoej iukI iu ripwing In (he month of October, enable* the tultiValor <n };ct dff a greater proportion of the cr?>j>. | inl.oumhut.i ctcry wher* the cam Ucul i tf&iK&s te, when h Rlt^ht trench is ? to the] ootloo (Sea I sland may witU Ul|i^c?ic^lK. ??**?* ?general fflK, flSKl , >y tho green cane la ripe enough to make su^ 8H*i but How liibb te V tesictl^Thc rye SBB& CCdl liutruucnt. ht puSTSnu conuiim.it in taeaaUMettft I* an Hydrt the tube sinks to the cyphers and when the tike of the oane will wake H rises to 7.

The Ther mometer in marking the degree of heat hi the fluid, indicates distinctly the quantity of nny substance Contained in it. It is on tto observation of the phenomena produced by tliU law, that you arrive at the law you uiin at. NVlien Uusome juice is reduced bye va poration untu N become* sugar on growing cold, und when that sugar is of the quality you desire it, you mark upon your Tlternio meter the degree of heat it carried in the boiler at the moment you damped your fire, and began to empty your kettle. This line once determined, your principal attendant lias only to Watch his '1 hcrinomcter atten tively ut the close of every operation. At Sapclo, during this season, our Juice ha* ranged between y u.vl 10 of the Hydrometer, and we have boiled our sugar up to 333 and 244 of the Thermometer. These dctaUs place sugar-boiling upon a ground of security they had not heretofore arrived at. And here, with a few general observations, 1 will conclude thb communl cation. The cultivation of sugar-cape b attended with about the same labour thatb required in the cultivation of cotton, where the cot* ton is planted ui drills und ridges?It b more Icult to plant tlian cotton, but ooce plant ed, there b no more anxiety?you neither dread worm nor frost, nor cold wfods^ uhd |fOu have five months instead of thirty days to complete your operation la.

In situation* where boilers can be procure ed in a day or two. It b a matter ef indiffer ence whether iron or copper are used) but In a country Where a broken boiler cannot be roplaoad but after a long delay, copper should always lie preferred. The copper however, of the boilers should never be thick. Count Humford has told us, and ex perience confirm* th* declaration, that thin coppers outlast thick ones.
