ihcn gave of it was received from Mr. John Dean
of it is ctly who m the first man that procured tbe
seed an 1 Introduced it into the United Slates by dis-
tributing the seed from bis own plantation In this
State. In our first account of this cotton we called
it the Dean Cotlou and It baa ever Hoc gono by
this name. It Is now rultira'ed pretly extensirely.
though there are still tmny pisrtcra who have yet
bei 11 unab'o lo procure the seed.
It is a rather singular eircnnntance that Mr. Dean
receiredauia!I parcel of this very eeed by mail
franked to him from tbe ratentOOce at Washington
a few days ago. with a small primed label attached
to it giving directions how to plant It Lc. This Is cx-
plaicei by bear 11? la ramd lhat it is mado the doty
of persona in ihe emp oy of ihe Government la va-
rious parts of tl e world to Bend to 1 tin Paienl Office

be jf great value and it is again made the duty of

tnbn'eiboso seeds through tho mall freoof post
age in the roost effectual manner to bring them Into

ests of no country The wiIom of this tolicy can
not be too highly commended. No doubt similar
parcel of the Dean Colli n Ftcd were sent to hun

ihey were sending the seed to the very man who first

Faztcu iTTtRrcBx-tct: Tbia text furnishes

which hottUJtlea might possibly arise crea'td an
Interest as lo the coume Trance and England wmld
purine in such an event nrd some days ago we re-
ci Itei the exciting Intelligence that Iho French

the French Government would fcrl bound to take

both England and France would continue tbeir

bable that lbs French Minister would assume to
know that such a war was pre-medljtcd or ibat be
would be so impertinent as to lot mate tbo nct'oo of

IlliCTC Shall 1I10 Trade of Texas

In a former article wc quoted from Ibe San An
loaio Ledger to the iff-ct th'tlhe whole commerce
of this State should cor cent rate at Falton in Ar
kansas thence to be distributed by railroads to dif
ferent ports on Ihe Atlantic coast. Wo a1o referred
to the average cost of railroad transportation and
hbowed that It vcould cost near S20 03 per bale to
send cotton from San Antonio to New York and In
that proportion for longer or shorter distances and
for other kinds of freight Tbe editor of the Ledger
estimates that the distance from San Antonio to
Fulton Is dOO miles which Is just about twice the
distance from Saa Anton'o to Galveston. He there
fore propcea to build a railroaH 400 miles long In
order lo lake Tuxss produce much further from

country to the best seaport la it.
Lit us lot k at some facta In connection with this
remarkcble proposition: At twenty thousand dollars
per mile a railroad from Sao Aalouio to Fnlioa
would costcglit millions of dollars; while from
San An'onlo to Richmond (with which place Gal-
resioa ba already steam communication nearly
completed tbe distance 1 about ISO miles and a
road waufd cost three millions of do'lan. Hence)
tt follows that a railroad to secure transportation to
Fulton will cot five millions mo-e than a rond to this
elace. If tbe former road was built the cost of
relgbt from Sau Antonio to FultOQ would be just
twice as much as to this place which would be a per
manent two fold lax upon the people for all lime lo
eome Lei tu next Inquire into tbe relative condi-
tion of tb ngs after tbe freight bas reached the two
points rmpectivsly. The distance from Fulton to
New Orleans h3C0 miles and to tbe Atlantic ports
from lObO to 15U0 miles; and the coxt of freight
would therefore ba S3 CO 10 00 ani 815 00 per
bale cf cotton respectively. From Galveston lo
New York or Bt stun cotton Is now paying only two
dollars per b vie. -SuppoMng therefore we bad rall-
rosds from Sao ctmio by way of Fulton toNew
York Ci b on Ac. and ah-o from San Antonio to
Qftlvesion It may be wtoly assumed that tba cost of
freight by the former route to the Northern seaports
would bn fully eight or leu times as much as by way
of Gslveaiua. Hence tbe result of tbe Ledger's
proposition would be lo tax Ihe people wltb five mil
lions of dollars 1 1 concentrate their trade at Fultoo
over and above wbat Uwould cost to concentrate It
at GalrcMon. Bat this five million) wou'd be but a
very small part of tbe tolal lots to the State ; for
this overland transportation to Northern seaports
would be an annual tax upon tbe products cf tha
state. of teartytiall their market value amounting
even at this Urns to one or two millions n year
nearly nlae-teatbs of which wonld be saved by cob-
cuatralingourtradetoaseaportor ourowo. These
facts show clearly einogh that If the road to Fulton
could ba built for nothing tbe trade of this State
could not possibly take that direction. Indeed we
have no agricultural products that can pay Bach cost-
ly transportation
We shall reerto this subject again because we

In tbo daya of Drs. Rush Pbislc Dewees and Mott
the use Of the lancet was much better understood.
than al the present time It is by a large msjonty of
persons both in and out ot tbe profess on and under
the high sanction of thilr nanus ibeir ctteiniorj
ries and successors took a more proper view of tbe
effects if blcrdtng aud shaped their course accord-
ingly. Then If the phjsiclan met with a caw of le

millent to the most complicated and fearful Typha
he very weil knew In at hut palleui was subjected to
the I ability to local coDJeilloas or iufiamatloBs uf
tbo various viscira of tbe head chest o. abdomen
and his theory based upon reiterated warnings led
him at Once to tbe lancet as bis sheet anchor la
more serious cases and in the lighter cases as a
preveatlon of Bach a condition lie found that much
less drugging was necessary and that hi) patient a
a general m e convalesced and recovered more rap
idly after free deplet'onhy venesection than similar
caes which were not sutjected to the depleting and
sedative treatment of bleeding. Al the same lime
the student and young practitioner were sedulously
warned against tho use of opiates in plethora con-
Jsstion or infl jmmalloB aad nearly tbe whole f f tbeir
I ractlue consisted in bleeding cathartic oau'cnts
and courjler-irn tints and as a last resort. In saliva-
tion. Under these circumstances il is nut wonder-
ful that as many patients died after bleeding; and
this being almost always Ihe first aad principle rem
edy as well In the mind of the paaciltiuner aa cf his
patients and tbtir friends. I say under tbee clrcum
stances Ills not wonderful that euplcion having
fallen npon tbe lancet it ahould have teen arraigned
tried and condemned to banishment as tbe guiMy
culprit whila Ibe real criminals Ibo cathartics.
uaueants&cby a sort of clanship diri ling lh re-
spocs billty escaped u a whipped of justice. What
ever may have been tbe cause Ibe fact Is ihctlhe
lancet bas gradually fallen In'o disuse with a maj ir-
ityof practitioners except occasionally aa a tort of
spccifis for Pleurisy Pneumonia and some anoma-
lous cases la which the urgency or tbe symptom
appeals In thunder tones to the ear of prejudice and
the retired lancet Is reluctantly called forth to aid
In tbe combat. Such is tbe general repute of the
lancet throughout Ihe Western and Southern States
and aa an exception to the general rule this very
neglecl conr-titutcs its greatest abure. Although ihe
rapid progrcs inthe artof medicine In tbe present
Century has very justly mod fled andlQ80memear-
are circumscribed the use of the lancet yet It Is to
be lamented that we hare passed from one extreme
to another. Having found out Ibat we can safely
use opium and lis compound to a much larger ex-
tent than was dreamed of by our predecessors we
bavo been too ready to avail ourselves of this con
venlent eubbtitatcfor the more Immediate sedative
agency of the IjucoI ; and thla reliance r colts daily
and hourly In tbe loss id patients or in lingering
convalescence with various appsudigeg.la Ihe way
of visceral enlargement chronic irflamma ions
dropsical effusions aod Ihe thousand and one ntmcless
maladies which greet our ryes and ears at eerj turn
Such bulng tbe case the question arises are tl ere
aay unmJttakab! signs whureby tbe common
observer may determine npon the use ot tbe lancet?
I answer lhat with very few exceptions there are
and fortunately these 8 gns are few aod simile.
First the pulse Is the great Index governing this In
dication aad we may bleed with safely and general
ly with benefit In any disease without reference to
its name or locality wt enever the pu'se Is full strong
and bard. or resistant when a cona'derable preure
aay from bat fa pound to a pound 1b requisite to sup-
press the pulse at the wrrs.; or ir tbe pulse is small
and corded feeling like a tense violin bate coder ih
linger. Ia each cases tbe loss of a few ounces t f
blood from the arm. will frequently relievo all on-
pleasant symptoms aod the patient may fo about
his business at once without tak ng any medicine at
alL But where the symptom are mora urgent tl.
palient having a high fever but dry skin great thirst
violent pain in the teal che-l back stomach or
elsewhere there Is no reliably safe substitute for tho
lancet aod it should be the first remedy use I early
lo tbe disease. If possible; but whenever such symp-
toms occur no metier If it be tbe first or fifth or
tenth day of the d s-a e (for although to Insure Its
greatest benefits the earlier it Is used tbe better.) yet
there is so error more certain than the prevalent
notion that If not used early It cannot be nsed at al'
or al least with safety. The picture la still vivli in
my mind or numer jus cases or Pneumonia Pleurisy.
Inflammation or tbe heed s'omacb and bowels to
which I bsve been called at various periods from
ihe locipleuce of tbe disease to the eijh b and lo
one Instance as lata as tbe fir eenth clay after tho at
tack In which blocd letting acted like a charm and
patients from having parsed days and nights tn pain-
ful andaleepees agitation have fallen Into a calm
aod healthy slumber almost immediately after and
'a soma instances during Ihe flow of blood from Ihe
arm. In like manner when tbe brain bas been op
preened by engorgement or bcated by inflammation
tbepalleuis either stupid or wildly delirious bow
often during the flow of b o dbave ihey returned to
SAUdy and consciousness to the unspeakable joy of
anxious relations and friends. Many of my former pa-
tlenta erenow living cot only In Galveston but Is
many parts ot ibe State who upon seeing this article
willcall to mind tbe almost marrelour effects of blood
letlingeither En their own caseortbat cf s ma oflhelr
friends in which they hive been relieved and tbeir
health restored contrary to all expectation ani after
having been pronounced by medical consultations
beyond the hope of recovery tbe lancet never hav-
ing once euciitw-Ud Itself Lo their m-dical atteaiants
I know this looks like blowing my own trumpet
preuyloud but I Cannot help it; lam Impe'ied by
Imperative neceisi'y1n the defence oftrao principles
aod my shield and helmet tithe panoply of truth;
indeed ao numerous hive ben euch aud similar
scenes In the course of my practice that tba proprie-
ty cay ihe all commanding ueces-liy of blood-letting
under similar c)rcurastncs Is such that shou d my
patient die without having bal tho benefit of thla
remrdy I should feci as gadlyofMs death as if I
had given blm a fatal doss of pohon through
aheercare!csnes
In inflammations of tbe head cheat and limb we
meet with tbe full bounding pulse above spoken ol
and la Infl munitions of the abdomen In the early
stage of cholera. In tbo cold stage ofconjtBtlve fever
and in the adraoced stags of dropsies we meet with
the second variety er small cordei palie; in either
case bleeding is demanded. In Ibe former the pulse
b-comes smaller alower and eofter and the akin
cooler and perapirlng; In the latter tbe pu'ae In-
creases in volume and becomes toller aod slower
while tbe afcio becomes warmer and the breathing
more free; aoJ ibe great advantage attending ihe use
of the lancet ia tbese'easss consuls In the certainty
of the rsaullt and ia our beta; able to control them
by a greater or lesser expenditure of blood accord-
ing to tbe nature of the Individual case; moreover
tbe ae of tbe lancet by relieving tbe nervous system
ofoppresdon and Irritation recdra it more suscep-
tible to rmcdieaod much less medicine Is neces-
sary to produce a required effect. Io many Instances
it Is advisable lo bltol to fainting aad If ibe
patient be bled lo a standing or sitting posture a
smaller expenditure of blood will be required.
When the patient fslnla lay him la a horizontal
position with bis bead on a level with hla bmly and
he will soon recover by tbe stimulus of the bloi-d
Sowing to tbe bran tbe want of which will have
beta tbe caaso of friollng. In tbia way an In-
flammation such as Pleurisy Pneamonls ice cc.
may be cured by wbat might not unaptly be styled
tbe abortive treatment la such cases however we
should watch the poise tba breathing and tho
accession or pain and aa often aa the difficulty
returns subdue It with ibe lancet. In this way
many cases have been cure J without any farther
treatment. I h.ve known patients to be bled three
four and In one luUnee six times. In au attack c f
itflammatory fever with man feit advantage. Dr.
Dewees was bled Iweuty ihree times in an attack of
yellow fever ami attributed hi recovery to thu
enormous depiction. A word npon yellow fever.
Although I har no hesitation la sanctioning tbe
use of tbe lancet generally la tbe treatment of Ihia
disease as being Dot only safe but aefuthavlag my-
self bled a great deal ln the treatment of ytllow
fever In former years yet from the rapid Drcgeaa
1 which this disease makei towards a fatal Urmua-
tion it muat be obvious that tu this as In cholera
the bleeding to be useful shaafd be bad recourse to
at ihe very outrei of the disease; for after the first
twentj four hoars or tbw so fetal malady the vital
powers are sj broken down-as to render it extremely
donlifuIin many casra whether il would be safe to
us Ibe laucet. I hare also ob-erved that contrary
10 too general rale convalescence fiora thu disease
apear to ba moro lingering and protracted after
copious bleeding. Tneae considerations Induced me
t-i aiek out amodfld treatment of yellow fever
which I havo aibca applied 10 all clashes ol
minaruatre fever with wbat anccess I leave others
to determine. The principle of treatment ta th
same viz: ecdatioa fur which. I now use large doses
of sedative medicines chit fly opium an I its com
pounds and caopoor variously combined with other
articles of ihe materia medics such as mercury.
Ipecacuanha extract of coloryntb &c 4c Bui
tbls must be borne In mmd that. In proportion a we
dlpense with the u-c of tbo lancet iu tbe treatment
ol Ihisfo'midibie disease must we have recourse
to what to tbe un nitlated and even to many
practitioners would be fearful do of sedative
medicine; and as raot persons would bo more
timid la tba ue of Ibe medic ne than of tbe lancet
they would do belter to adhere t- the latter. Bjt

treatmentby Interns! remedies of tbe ngXt ttai ire
left on either harnl and another cq i-ly potent
ageat for good or evil viz Q ilnlne Is bad recourse
to and 1 b victims are legion. But more of this
when we come lo treat of the use aad abase of these
remedies under their proper bead. Aa almost io-

.uowledge this principle aod as I tblok attach to It
Its full vIaell Is very clear that It does not effect tbe
quality or treatment but only ihe quantity. I have
not lo fl teen years practice la tbe South found aay
thing to convince me that a disease which would
require bleeding tn thj North wou'd not equally
tfemand It In ibe South the only difference being
that a smaS'cr loss uf b'oud wou'd be required to
pre dace the same effect in Ihe South than in the
North. In lafiamma ioas of tbe j nats such as
