CHOICE CoTroN.-A day or two since we received from Col. Mcdonald, d,of Barbour county in this State, a small sample of col. ion raised on his plantation, which, for fine. ness of fibre, length of staple, color and cleanl.ness excels anything we have seen this season, to the shape of Upland cotton. Col. Mcdonald is an agriculturst in prac. tice as well as theory,and has rendered great service to the agricultural interests of our State. Several productions from his pen, possessing both interest and originality, on agricultural subjects, have already been laid before the public-some of these, we are proud to say, have appeared in the columns oi this paper. Such men are benefactors and or naments of the age in which they live.

 We copy the following from the last num- Der of the Eufauly"Southern Shield Mo. Mle AdUeyt,ser.
