A DISSERTATION ON "COTTON." . St. Louis, Missouri, March 25th, 1827. D(M Si*?It was about the 10th of Janu ary that I taw you last: when I promised should any thing occur worthy of note, to let you hear from me) but all I taw and beared of, ou my Journey* was to monotonous that 1 dreaded the inevitable nocc?*ity of falling in to tautology and so transgressed; For when I took tnp last walk along the wharves In Charleston, and saw them piled Mp with mountains of cotton, and all your stores, ships, steam and canal boats, cramcd with, and groaning under, the weight of cot tomi 1 returned to the Plantcrra Hotel, where 1 found the four dally paper*, as well ?* the conversation of thu boarders, teem ing with cotton! cotton! cotton!!/ Think* X to myself "I'll soon changc this *cenc of cottonBut, aiasf How eusily deceived is poor short-sighted man! Well, I got into my gig, and wormed my way up tltrongh Queen, Meeting, King, and St. Philip'c street*, dodging from side to vide, to ttecr dear the cotton wagons, 1 came to the new Bridge ferry. Here I crossed over in the borte-boat, with several empty cotton wag gons, and found a number on the other wide, loaded with cotton, going to town. From thle I continued on, meeting with little else . than cotton field, cotton gins, and cotton wagons?but " the wide, the unbounded nrotpect lay before me!" I arrived at Jacksoborough, which its inhabitant* ac knowledge to be a poor place, though there is much rUton raised in It* nelghborluxxh 1 next reached Waltcrborough, which, I should say. le another poor place; but the citisens informed mo that there was much mood cotton land, og from the elf/. From thence, after meeting a number wagon-, load ed with cotton, 1 arrived at Ham well; where the cotton fleldsand cotton gins extend even unto the village* and where all the tulk of him that laboureth, and he that l? learned In the law, and him that sits on the judge* ?eat, I* el cotton, \fter leaving Barnwell, I Overtook A vent number of cotton U>nd*d wagons bound for Augusta; and at the ferry three ?Ue* below the town, I had to welt tor ten of them to cross before I could go qvkt. I new came to Augusta* and when l ?saw the cotton wagons h Broadmrm, whisUed! but Mid nothing??! But this was i thosedoeen tow mo?? than n thon eaok) and several still atari. And fm biutt niff coifon warrnotitc* 32P with 1 there it inmlcu im <to coittm or the b**e?. , i ; and as I pained through Its J to enquire thu way of an rj who iufotuied me wf tltree roads leading to MilltdgCviUc. but two of them, be observed, were cut all tp pieceahy cotton wagons} (iu>U (ind know* that 1 met enough oo the other;) tmt there we# a third, if could find it, which was less travelled; and 1 after directing, me, 1 asked hint if that spa clou* building mbur u< wai intended for a barrack.* Barrack* No! saye hot that U my cotton warehouse I Will, Mid 1, you were determined to have lootu enough. I did think so. said lie, hot It U choke lull of cotton\and I have a good deul on hand tijfc h is to lie out dornit' Good Lord dcliwr us, said I, and departed. I now overtook ItonU of cotton plauters from Horth Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, with larg? gangs of negroes, bound to Alabama, Mis sissippi, aud Louisiana; " where the cotton land u not worn out.'* Besides these I over* took auuiubct of empty cotton wagon* return ing home, and a great many loaded with cotton going to Augusta. Two of these wagons mart* mg one dny, directly opposite u?v, the follow ing diuloguc took placc hctwoeu the drivers. "What's c'jtton in Augusta?" says tba ??uc with a loait 44 Cotton," says we other/ The euquirer sup|K>*ing himself not be un derstood, repeats, 14 what's cottcn in Augus ta.'" M It's cotton,*' says thu other. " I know that," wys the first, 44 but whut la it?" 44 Why," say the other,441 tell you its cotton! cotton is cotton! in Augusta, and every where else, tlutt over I heard of." I know thut as well as you," says the first, 44 hut what docs cotton bring in Augusta.*" "Why, it brings uutbing there, but every body brings cotton,*' 44 Look here," says the first wagoner, with an outh, 44 you had better leave the state; for I'll be d d Uf you don't kuow too mudi for Georgia." I continued my joururv, pasting cotton fields mi the right liand and on the left; through Sunders*file, where the talk was still ot r&mrn; until 1 arrived ut Holt's ferry, on the Oconee, where I saw three large pole boats loaded with bales of cotton twelve tier in height, From thence, 1 went to Mill ' edgcvillc, where 1 found wagon loads of cot ton coming to, passing by, and going through it, in evcrdirectiou; und the prevailing topic of the place, 44 what an infernal ?hum* it wat, that *uch a quantity of virgin cotton land t/iouhl be ouffrred to remain in thefto? *etsion of the i/ifernul Creek Indian*?" From Milledgcville 1 went to Macon, which they say is surrounded with most excellent cotton land; and us a proof, I saw many stores full uf cotton; and many large boat* on the Oukniulgcc, loaded also with cotton. But the town, it is supposed, will grow much foster when it beconu* the teat of govern ment, and hat more bunkt. From thence I moved to the westward, ctvsMHg Flint river, and from there io the Chattahachic, found cotton land speculators thicker tliau locusts in Kgypt. And going through the Creek Nation, I every now and then, would |tas? a cotton patch, but when 1 got out of the Nation, by crossiug Line creek, the planta tions from there to Montgomery, (14 miles,) outstrip any thing 1 liuve seen in cotton planting. The land is nearly level; the fields of one plantation joining by a fence those of another; and all cxtemiing buck from the road farther than you can distinctly see; und thu cotton pretty even, and about as high as thu fences, and hus the appearance ( is Ri ley says of Zahara) ot a complete horu'41 of cotton. They hav e, almost all of them, ov?r plauted; and hud uot more than one hnlf of their cotton picked in: each plantation has a cotton gin. I next came to Montgomery, which I found over-stocked with cotton, and no bouts to take it away. Hut while 1 was there tl)e Elizabeth came up, and took off* a thousand bales, which hurdly made a hole in it. From Montgomery, 1 went to Blakely; and on my way, saw many cotton plantations; and met, and overtook, uearly one hundred cotton w agons, travelling over a road, so bud, that a stute prisoner would Imrdly walk through it, to muku his cscapc. And al though people say, that Blakely is done over, there was not u little cotton in it. From there, 1 crossed over to Mobile in a small steam bout, loaded u/i to the toh of the tmoke fil/ie with cotton. This place is u monstrous receptaclc for the article: look which way you will,you sec its and see it uiot iug; keel boats, steain bouts, ships, brigs, schooner*, wharves, stores and press houses, ij| ap peared to bo fulli and I believe, that in tne three days X , was there boarding with about oneluiuurcdrof/o/j factors, cotton merchant*, and cotton plunters, 1 must have heard the word cotton prunounccd more than 3000 times. From Mobile I went to New-Orleans, In a scliMtHtr; und the was stuffed full of cotton. 1 arrived at New-Orlvpoa on tin- 7th of Feb ruary, on the night of which Mis* Kelly wui to make her ft tut nppearam c there; uml 1 went to the Theatre. I was directed to ko up a certain street in the upper Fuubourg, and turn into tlie flint coitipiruou* brick buildup, lighted up ??i? the right. 1 did so, and to! and behold! I fou..u myself in a bteam cot ton -/?r at house, where they work, watch and watch, by candle light, screwing cotton, After an examination, however, I went to the play: ami after thut was out, ] enquired the way to a licensed Fharo Hunk, und was told that I would find one at the Louisiana Coffee-House, ju*t below the CQttOH'firr**, ottjxwitv a luff! cotton ware house-. 1 don't know how many hundred ih<His;utd bale* of cotton there were in New Orleans but I wak there only six day*, in which time there arrived upward* of 30,000 babra?and wlieu we diwppcd out into the stream, in a steam boat, to uor*nd the river, the levee, for a mUc up and down o|>|x?ite the shipping, where they were walking bale* <x? cud, looked to M it waa aliw. A Keiitucki uu who was on board, swore the cotton had pma uj>on the town* " don't yem see," says he, " the bales inarching up the the Irry." I must here begiu to abridge, or I shall tie* vex get through. Well, coming up the ri ver, I saw many cotton plantation*'arid ma ny boats at Baton Rouge, IWyeu IMrah, and other li?mediate plrnc, loading with cot ton. Aatd in passing the mouth ocIUd river, we took Oo board five rrtorc passenger* whb live oeat Hatch it or hen, Thdy likf that To letllo up* & Ion// At Matches, thvjrs were a number of flat, keel. aiul steam boats, loaded wHU c O* fsaiaud one of the latter, Willi tho fourbnata >l?e had In tow, had 3100 bah*. Mississippi isa great cotton state, him! the quality Is sod tu be vt;ry fine. At the mouth of Arfcan im river, we took on board about fifty ue Sroee and two uvciseet*, w bo had wade a ve ry excellent crop of rfttfon in the terrkoiy# but fbeac' it too unhealthy a place to reasah*, and were going buck to North Alabama. Prom NeVr-Orieuuetothemo*huiTeunee ?ee river, we pass** about thirty steorn boau, and wore than half of them were la den with cottonj ai*o, about fwerfty fiat boats a (lay for ten days, and about half of them were loaded with ce/'sa. Aad In tho Tennessee river, we pasted about fifty fiat boats, nearly all loaded wltkcoffo/t. \Vben we got up to the Muscle Shoals, there waa more cotton hi waiting than would All a do *eu Meant beat*. I went by land from Flo-j rcnce ami Tuscumbia.toHaaUvUle. There Uavnat deal oicottoM made about the shoals, in North Atabamai and they go all for quan tity and not for quality; Uianed cotton was MelUng there lor about six cents) and most of the lesser planters have sold their*s In the seed, at one and n half. After teav big Hunts ville, I entered Tennessee; passed through Halem, Wiachester, V'MmuviUo and Mur freesboro', to Nashville) aad on my way, saw^an abundance of cotton and cotton fields. The Tonnesaean* think that no other state isof any account but their own; Kentucky, they say would be if It could grow cottont but aski?,itiigoedforn<*hiog. They cal culate on 40 or 50,000 bales of cotton going from Nashfill* this season; that is if they can get boats to carry it all. Prom Nsshritte, X descended the Cum berland river in a steam-boat, between two keel boats, the Cherokee and DrcumttA, (poor Indian names, that have rang from Nickajack to MiehUlmackinac! now doom ed to bear the burthen of the whites!) all three piled ap with cot/on-, am! after getting below the shook, toClarksvillc, they stopped and took in 30 bales more. 1 left this bo*t at Smithland, at the mouth of Cumberland, whore there waa soother large steam-boat, loaded with cotton for New-Orleans. After seeing, hear.))*. ami dreuming of nothing but cotton for seventy days ami seventy nights, I began to anticipate relief. For on the route I took, whether by night or by day, by stage or by stcuiu tnwt, wake up when or where yo?4 would, you were sure to hear a dissertuiion no tvttvn. One night in Mobile, 1 was wukffd up about two o'clock, by two mcreirint'* clerks, who slept in the name rorno, ami ?cre just going to bed. They were talking of lottery tkkets; and so) s one to the utlivr, "if you were to druw the SJ0.0DO prigc, what would you do with it?" " Do with it s4>s the other, " why, 1 would take the $2J,0u0 of k and build a lai-g<*, fire poof bvkk st<?c; and with the other *35,000, I would fill it with cotton, at 8,1 cents, the present |?rtce, uiki keep It tlJl it ro^e to IT, and then 1 would sell,1* llut this U only one hem, of a thousand. On the 19th of March, there came along a steam boat fiom Louis ville, bound to St. Louis, and I took my pas sage in Iter. She had not a bale of cotton on board, nor did I hear it named more than twice in 36 hours. We ran down the Ohio to its mouth, thence up the Mississippi, and 1 hud a pretty tolerable night's sleep; though I d rcampt of cotton. Having business in Illi nois, 1 left the steam boat and walked three or four miles, to Kasksskia. Here I went into a public house, and being somewhat fa tigued, called tor refreshment. They shew ed me Into a room by myself, aad brought me some hot coffee, warm beef-steaks, ?c. and 1 felt so happy, that I could not help ex claiming in the language of 8haksi>csrr. " uow hi the winter of my discontent made glorious earn uter,H by iuy escaping from the realms of cotton. But 1 had scarcely began to eat, tthai 1 hearda mmt terrible to do, in an adjoining room; the noise grew louder and louder, HUI at lost, the door of my apart* incnt wwburst open, and in canto throe men clenched together in u fight.
