A LICTUMt nr if. U KKMUtL.
Last evening, Ht Co.pur Wi" '','. Hr. U. C.
Kendall, of Marjluml, 1 Tyil ,i tlm origin,
habits, culture, ntid ju olii, r mo perennial
cotton-tree of Peru, In tlrlv.ol the peculiar
state of publlo plhlrn, It was not unreason
ably oxpected that u lare audience wjuld have
assembled, but although tlio lecturo did not be
m gin until 8 o'clock, the attendance was not ntt
' merous. Of Mr. Kendall'.' experloncetrlth the
Oosiypium Arborium of Peru, we have alroady
published an account, bo that It will hardly be
necessary to recapitulate except in brief. Sev
eral years ago, when an employee In the United
Btatea Patent Office, Mr. Kendall wan culled to
the arrangement of an cstato In Chill, and while
riding along the banks of the Chi pur n rivor, u
sudden turn In the road brought him In full sight
ot the perennial totton-tree, which ho thus
describes:
I came suddenly into full view of an object
some two hundred yards distant, which pre
sented tho most magnificent spectacle I had
ever seen u perfect cone, or pyramid, of pure,
brilliant snow, elevated at Its, base perhaps
seven feet from the ground, upon a shaft of
whitish bronzo; the whole struoturo cut cloar'
and sharp against the dark wall of rock In the
baok ground. I had In Northern countries,
after a calm fall of snow, seen many a whlto
pyramid, having an Internal structure of pino
or spruce, but knowing that In tho present In
stance the snow bad fallen during violont galo,
and observing that nono of the pines about me
bore any traces of It upon thoir branches, 1
rode forward In seml-bewlldermont, to Investi
gate tho phenomenon.
It resolved Itself, as I drew near. Into a most
perfect specimen of the Qossypinm Arborlum.
the perennial outton-tree. Its foliage had long
been shed, but tho pods remained, having fully
burst, and turned out their spotless sample In
almost perfoot roses, covering the entire struc
ture wllhfa donso mass uf spotless, glow cot
ton. I had often seen and examined Indifferent
specimens of tho porennlal cotton shrub, but 1
had never soen anything evon upproaohing In
perfection that solitary troe.
Having no faolllttcs for gathering and weigh
ing the yield of that Individual tiee, ray esti
mate was, of course, only an approximate con
jecture ; but I would not be willing to full bo
low 100 pounds as the amount of clean " lint"
afforded by the cone, having a diametor of
twelve feet at tho base, and measuring a trifle
over elghloon feet from base to apex.
Mr. Kendall prefaced his Introduction of this
Illustrious stranger to his audience, List even
ing, with a consideration of the area of cotton
producing territory In the world, showing satis
factorily that while this is very large, tho urea
practically available Is small, and that wo may
enter upon the business of cotton-growing with
little fear of overstocking tho markets of the
world. In Itsnatlve.condltlon.andln the higher
Southern latitudes, the aeragoslze nnd altl
tudo of the Oossyplum Arborlum i quale tho
medium peach tree of North America say
eight Inches In diameter at two feet from the
ground, and In height twenty feet; in Its gene
ral structure more nearly rosembling the white
mulberry than any other tree. The loaves are
abundant, distinctly denticulated, and of a
lossy, silvery green. Floweis profuse, very
oublc, variegated, and, in size, about a third
mailer than the oerfeoted hollyhock, tho tree.
when In full bloom, presenting one of the most
beautiful effects imaginable. The bolN, at ma
turity, are twice tho slzo ot those borne by the
herbaceous plant, and, wherever It approached
the coldor regions, the fibre is finer, and the
length of staple Increased.
The perennial cotton tree Is propagated from
seed, or more readily from cuttings simply
thrust Into tne ground, and possesses this pe
culiar advantage in any country, ovor tho herb
aceous plant. It may bo planted nut as an
apple, peach, or pear orchard, and tho field
cropped with any of the cereals, until tho tree
having reached its maximum standard, should
entirely ocoupy tho land. It bears cutting a
kindly as any known tree, and, In field culture,
may always be kopt so pruned that Its produce
shall bo within reach of the hand.
Mr. Kendall ofTsots the cultivations of South
ern and Northern cotton against each other,
thus:
OUT II.
Interest on value of an averago field hand, $80
Clothing and food annually. 73
Loss of time, io 30
Total $165
Allowing four acres for oaoh hand to culti
vate, and 600 lbs. per acre, (both allowances
being above tho actual average,) ucd allowing
ten cents per pound, we have, as a result of a
year's labor, per hand, $200, leaving tho slender
Dalanoe of $3.75 per acre, which is very often
more than absorbed by commissions, transport
ation, and other incidental expenses, always
greater in tho slave than the freo States.
There are a great many Southern cotton plant
ers who do much better than this, but there
are also thousands who do a great dal worse.
Let us now turn to the Northern bide of tho
picture Allowing that tho poronnlal cotton
required the same amount of culture and care
annually that the herbaceous variety does,
(which It does not,) a good farm hand will cul
tivate Blx acres, ocoupylog only six months of
the twelve In preparing, planting, tending, and
picking.
This, at $12 per month, glvos $72
Board for six months, at $10 CO
Total $132
The minimum yield per aoroof the pe
rennial cotton, wbereer It can be
grown, would be 1,000 lbs. per ucro,
an aggregate of 0,000 lbs. for six acrex,
which, at 10 cents per lb,, gives . , COO
Deduct from this board and wages if
meu 132
And we have
Which elves us $78 tier acre.
$4
In this estimate, I have considered the In
terest on land, cost of fertilizers, teams, and
Implements, as being the same North and South,
and given tne yield of the perennial cotton at
lis lowest rato; nut as I Know tne troe to ue
capablo of producing 2,000 pounds per acre,
and as It cau jest as well bo grown In lawns, by
the wayside, and dl-ers nooks and cornors,
where It would not materially Interfere with
other crops or farm occupations, ho might
safoly add fifty per cent, to the credit nldo of
cotton grown by treo labor In the Middle Slates.
At the South, tho everlasting complaint Is
the Insufficiency of plantation help, wlnlo Inthe
free States labor Is always abundant, and pio
ourablo at reasonablo rates. Iloaldex, from my
own observation and all the Information I have
been ablo to obtain, the poieunial cotton Is
never liable to damages by vicissitudes of
weather, or destruction by numerous pests so
Inimical to the herbaceous plant.
Mr. Kondall's experiments in growing tho
cotton-treo resulted In a gratifying suooekS.
The tree has been grown by him fifteen miles
north of Baltimore. The soeds were planted In
rows alternately with peach-stones, and wullo
the cold of last winter destroyed the latter, tho
cotton shrubs flourished unhuit. Mr. Kondall
Is to sanguine of its success at tho North, that
he ventures upon this prophecy:
The period Is nut very remote, when hedges,
i'Pl'"-r?ieiont as fences, shall yltld auuu il ulvl
ibis effecth..r0r cotton: ornamented trees

rugged heights of the Hudson, the pUlm of New
Jersey, tho fertile valleys of tho Keystone State,
and tno undulating uratrles of the irreAt West.
shall gleam In the sunlight, white M the win
tor 'drift, with generous pods of Pemocratlo
cotton.
At the conclusion of his lecturo, Mr. Kendall
exhibited specimens of Sea Island and ordinary
Upland cotton, as well as of the Chilian perer.
TilHI troo cotton not at all, wo thought,, to the
disadvantage of the Utter.
1MKUEST1NG FU09I Till SOUTH.
New Orleans and Memphis papers up to the
2d Instant, furnish the following Intolllgonoe:
Tho Mobile liejl'ter his a letter from Pena
cola, under d to of the 2.1lli ultimo, which says:
" Wo have reports of sevoral expeditions to
the South. Let thorn come. Their tombs are
open."
The Memphis Appeal (Italics not out's) says:
'' Tho rumors relating to an attempted raid,
by a Lincoln hordo of 25,000 vandals, upon our
H'lutborn oonst, are not without plauslblo
probability. Thai the expedition will meet with
a warm reception is moai certain, uovernor
Drown and General Lanlon have bad their eyes
on tho strategelio points of the coast for soma
tlmo, and what they have dono In reference to
such proposed visits will be known when the
arrival takes place. We have no doubt tho
reports from that quarter will bo only such
reports as can bo caused by the right sort nf
guns In the right place, served by the right
sort or artillerists. It will bo no Hattoras
affiir."
Tho New Orleans Delta states that Captain
Dari Illckok had made a requisition on the
proper nmhorlllos fur six rifled cannons, to be
placed at the pickets stationed at the ap
proaches of tho new canal
The editor adds:
" Tho captain Is suspicious of gunboats, and
wants to give them u hot reception if they
qome poking about there."
Tho samo paper has a full and accurate de
scription of the new gunboat fleet, built and
building at the Government navy yards and
private ship-yards North. Tho names, ton
nagu, number, and calibre of guus, etc., aro
given In dotall.
Confirmatory of the voibal reports, we find
in tho New Orloans CVesccnl an order from tho
(Imoruor ofthe State In regard to the organi
zation of tho Stato mllllla, " lu older" (we
quote the Crescent) "to prepa.ru fur auy emer
gency that may come upon us." It Is not
doubted, by the same authority, that " there Is
forco enough In the Stale to repel any Invasion,
como from whatever quarter It may." The
r.nonrnar'fl order directs that cantains shall
drill their companies each day, and empowers
them to force the attendance of tbelr men, by
placing all who refuse to do duty upon the list
of persons who are suspected of being unsound
in t elr allegiance to tho Confederacy. The
Crescent " hopes that all persons will at once
respond to this order from tho Goven or, so
that there will be no necessity for a Black
List of recreants and renegades. If wo expect
to bave our city from capture and pillage, our
wives, daughters, and sisters from the fate of
tho unfortunate women of Maryland, we must
all shoulder our guns and prepare for a terrible
strugglo. Wo can beat off any invading force
If true to ourselves, and that wo will do it Is us
sure ns anything In tho futuro can be."
The Ballzo Telegraph, on the 30th announced :
" A sloop-of-war, namo uuknowu, ofT the
Southeast liar; steam frigate Richmond at the
Southwest I'asi, about one mile aboe the Pilot
Station; sloop-nl-war lucennes, and stenm
gunboat Water Witch, at anchor outsldo the
Southwest Bar; the United States steam frigate
Niagara and it storeshlp, off Pass l'Outre."
Tho Louisiana Governor's "Order" rails Into
iiotive service all persons fiom 18 to 45 ex
cept the subjocts of a foreign power or Guvcru
ment. The Bee, under the head of "Official," has
tho following :
President Davis has appointed the following
gentlemen receivers under the soquestrallan
aot, for tho Stag of Louisiana :
John M. Uuger, of Now Orleans, bond,
$50,000.
Thomas C. Manning, of Alexandria, bond,
$0,000.
ltobei t N. McMillan, of Franklin, bund, $0,000.
V. M. Yew, of Opelousas, bond, tC.OOU.
J. S. Kline, Sbioveport, bond, JC.UOO
Tho tecelvers are requliod to assumo the
duties of their oflloe at once, and " the people
aro ci'uvminded to come up and give all the
necessary information to enable the Govei n
inent to i,ot at tho property of aliens and
trHitors."
The editorials of the Journals we aro quoting
from aro devoted mainly to outpounugs ot
wrath at " Lincoln's tyranny " in Virginia,
Maryland, tc. The CVt'srcnf says:
" Tyranny will never set its loot lu now ur
leans " never I never! never!"
The weather was- oco! and bracing, and the
health ofthe ulty unexceptionable.
AtiTlCirATLD ATTACK ON NOHtOLK.
Tho Richmond Examxni.r, ofthe 14th Instant,
says :
It seems that Norfolk Is to be attacked by
tho Hessians at a very early day. The Norfolk
Bay Hook, of this morning, has information t
thai effect, and Bays that a lady who has re
cently roachod here from tho North, gives It
as hor positive conviction that Norfolk is to bo
attacked vory speedily. This sho loels assured
of from conversations she had with some of hor
connections at tho North, who were hi a situa
tion to be made acquainted w 1th the intended
movements of the Northern foroes. From tho
host licht sho could cathor on the subject, a
simultaneous movement Is to bo mado upon
this city from Old Point and Hattersa ; and for
this purpose Gen. Mansfield has been put In
command at Ilatterss, and Gen. Wool relnstatod
In his command at Old Point. "Liyon.Mao
duff," io. Our boys seem delighted at this
Intelligence.
SF.NDINO BACK THE COTTON.
Tho Itlobmond Enqmrer, of tlio 11th Instant,
sajs:
Tho military authorities, acting with tho ad
vico of Generals Beauregard and Johnston, soino
weeks since published an otllolal notice, in
which tney requested ptaniera at tno exirttno
South not to forward any more Invoices of out
ton Into the Stato of Virginia, but to hold It
until further advices. Contrary to this re
quest, several dealois forwarded by lull to
Itlobmond several hundred bales, and It was
Immediately leturncd, and that, too, at the ox
penso ofthe shlppors, and It Is the Intention of
tho provost marshal, Gibson, uf Richmond, to
send back ovory halo whiuu may hereafter bo
forwarded.
