 Extract of letter dated Philadelphia. Oct 20. la46:

 "sr-Ynur favor of rhe lalh is received, with samples of Hemp. There is ID doubt this Hemp is of lle same species of Manills and Ssal and has some resemblance to sJnii."

 There Is more desirable article to this country than this species of Hemp, and the consumption daily increasing, as il is admirably calculated for canA river and all interior purposes, tar being used. and Ihe article floating Manila Hemp is now worth Ssl50 per ton, 22i0 lbs, but has lately risen from $ 37 50."

 9iF--f " Q fcflalniS lDlnk lnit tnere is no uues ton bat thar ihs article will layurablY compare with the best Si<al Hemp, and command price nearly equal, aud very possibly may be preferred from it's finer terture." The great aud increasing consumption nf Sisa and NaniIh, both which art. cles this s'Sanpie" so neatly resembles, shoule consider as strong inducements 10 the external pro dueuen o it wherever II can be raised 10 advantage We shall be happy to receive lhe samples you thInk II probable you nay send in tn, spring an ex- perimenl, and will endeavor to promote your object to the extent of our power"

 Extract of A letter dated Philadelphia. Nov. IS 1916:

 "Sir--i have good opinion Tn regard to the cul tyalIon of Manilla He"p al he south, and shoul' | like 10 know where the sample came from you sem me short tune ago, in order AS far as s in my pow CT 10 aid it's growth

 These extracts are from men of the highest stand ing, and of nndonbied judgment of the various qual ties of Hemp. 1 now also place before you the ex perimenls oi Gen Call of Florida.

 "s'ix months growth will give plant good size and tue Hemp produced from sufh pianl willb a' | long, and possess as much strength. ihaf mad. from plants of greater age. Bni it will have fpwel leaves, and wl therefore produce less fibre. l lhl l it air estimate that he Bear Grass, after it |, well rooted and m good growth. will prnduce thre Jul crops tor epeTy t0enfy four months. That Il vii requlie planting but once in ab ordinary lifetime ant with bui little cultivation will continue to PRoDucE its ABUNDANT CROPS of FIVE or SIX TONS per ACRE It's preparation for market Is as SIM | PILE and EXPEDlrlOUS ss it's production IS n bundant. This has been SUFFICIENTLY S TEST ED. After bolllng inc leaves and putting them nl | in small bundles of convenient for inc pr' | pose, have passed them through ordinary wood | en sugar mill, dipping tien in water al each pas sage until the surplus matter has hesn removed leaving the flores perfectly cleansed, unimpaed an, ready for use.

 "From the success of this experiment am sas fled lhal with a machinery and olers wlleh woulC not cost more than hundred and fifty dollars, Una len haads and a pair oI mules, may prepare OI us at least tive or sir Ions of HemPper day."

 These statements of facts placed before tn planting interests of the South. is more than su6 cieni to stimulate them to direct their attention t Ihe cultivation of this plant Taking the above pr ductlon. say five tons ihe acre, and the price 0 Sisal Sls5 per Ion cost, and allowing the charges n freight, &c., S35 co ger ton, would leave tn planter S50O per acre. Admitting these statement 10 be on lhe extreme, (one haH,) It will then excee anyother crop that can be raised and in prosecuting | II he not only rewards himself wth an ample gain but produces an independence of Bale Rope aR Bagging from other sources which this article ca be applied to.

 The present consumption oi our market for cor dage averages annually about to twelve lhOusan ons and the exporlarion of it to foreign countries would increase ths demand 10 one hundred lEousan tons annually.

 | hope that the planters of Alabama will take thi subject nto consideration and avail themselves of tn opportunity that bountilu hand of Proiience ha bestowed upon them; in doing which they will b amply rewarded; and also in creating this plan one of their greatest staples, and causing ou country 10 become independent of the foreigr staple. am very respectfully,
