umns of tho Organ.
A planter in Gross Tete was boasting of
making three hogsheads on some acres by
planting his cane eight-feet apart, and follow-
ing out hi own theory.
A Mr. Mct'ray, on the same Bayou, planted
his cane tlx feet apart, adopting a little differ-
ent method of culture, and ho boasts of ma-
king four hogsheads on some acres,
,'Jodge Robinson, of West Baton Rouge,
plants his cane about four feet apart, and al-
ways makes a good crop; it is said he never
falls, and is generally ahead of his noighbors.
There also exists a considerable difference in
the manner of covering the cane —some using
hoes and somo plows. Mr. Jehu Perkins, of
Kast Baton Rouge, had a part of his crop last
year planted by his overseer with hoes in a
very careful manner; he disliked the method,
and also tho great time consumed, and imme-
diately changed the" plan, and covered the rest
of his cano with tlis plow. He said there was
n marked difference between tho cane. Tho
cane covered with the plow was so different
from that Covered with the hoe thaLthe most
inexperienced coujd tell tito difference during
tho whole season.
Tho cano covered with the plow yielded
much more than the other. Now, perhaps the
experience of some one else, in another parish,
may be, totally at variance with this, and wo
therefore lay ft tfould Ho a matter of deop in-
terest lo comparo the experience of. planters
in the various patjshes one with, the other,
nnd thus afford a fund of intich useful instruc-
tion. We invite communications on the sub-

fertility of soil and salubrity of climate in the
State of Texas—it. is proposed to establish at
the above named place, a newspaper, to be
known by tho name of tho " Gonzales Inqui-
11EH," devoted to Agriculture, Literature, the
Mechanic Arts, Commercial Interests, and the
News of the day.
The Inquirer will be independent in politics,
but firm and decided in the advocacy of the
great principles of our republican government,
so ably elucidated in the administrations of
Washington and Jefferson; and will especially
maintain that sound and enlightened national
policy of sustaining our Southern institutions,
which the people of Texas, in conjunction with
her sister States of the South, have ever held
sacred, as guaranteed to them by the constitu-
tion of the United States. And while we claim
to have had some experience as editor and
publisher of a public journal, wo shall, at the
samo time, bring to its aid the poetic and lite-
rary talent of able writers, with whose ability
as correspondents we are well advised; and at
the same time trust that the Inquirer will be
so judiciously conducted as to encourago and
b -ing to its support contributors from tne Em-
pire State of the South on education, agricul-
ture and internnl improvements.
While, then, we unfurl our banner in ono Of
the most thriving and delightful villages in the
Stato, and assiduously devote our energies and
time to make the Inquirer what the develop-
ments of the country demand, and its appear-
ance equal to any journal in the South, we shall
expect proportionate encouragement from the
people of Texas, than whom no citizens in the
Union manifest a livelier interest in whatever
pertains to the maintenance of morality, the
cause of education and the perpetuity of repub-
lican institutions. .s
TERMS:
The Inquirer Will be published weekly, on
an imperial sheet of fine paper, neatly execu-
ted, for $8 00, if paid in advance; $3 50, if
not paid within six months ; or $1 00, at the
expiration of the year.
All communications for the Inquirer must be
addressed to the Editor, free of postage.

by Geo. P; Morris, and N. P. Willis, is well known
as the best family newspaper hi America; and the
Musical World and Times, edited by Richard Borres
Willis, with Lowell Mason, Geo. H. Curits, Thomas
Hastings, Wm. B. Bradbury, Geo. F. Root, and

Graham's Magazine!
Established in 1820, and triumphantly successful
and universally popular throughout the
Union; stored with the best Lit-
erature and Elegant
Engravings.
VOLUME FOlt 18SS.
THE great success of the last volume of " Gra-
ham's Maoazine," owing to the large increase of 4
sterling reading matter,, emboldens tho publisher to
attempt uiore 'energetic ofTorts for tho new year.
We shall still so conduct the Magazine as to meet
the wants and wishes of a very large body of the
people, who now begin to look to periodical works
for tho correct and various information, which was
previously sought for in heavy volumes and out of
tho way libraries.
We believo wo can so conduct this Magazine', that
while it will meot the wishes of the lovers of agree-
able literature, it shall still impart, in scientific arti-
cles, and articles of general utility, information that
will be valuable and desirable to many. Iu pursu-
ance of this purpose, wo shall place under the'eyea
of our readers not alone articles of high merit, writ-
ten to order by our well-known corps of contrlbn- «
tors, but shall draw upon tho first literature of tho
Old World—as success and increased circulation
may enable us still further to increase the number of
pages of Graham—so that we shall present the very
oest articles that aro published abroad, as well us
those that aro written oxpressly /or us at home.
We trust that this effort to extend tho Usefulness of
the Magazine, will bo met by that continuance of
favor from our readers which has cheered us as ed-
itor of tho work for moro than thirteen years, and
that the Magazine whoso foundation was laid in 182G
may, in 1853, b'o among the ablest, as it Is the oldest
Magazine in América.
The Now Volume of Graham commences regular-
ly with tho January number, and wo take this oc-
casion to solicit from singlo subscribers and clubs,
whose subscriptions expire, a continuance of their
encouraging company for another year.
NO PUFFING AND HUMBUG.
The character of " Gkaiiam^ Maoazioe" is too
well established, among readers of all classes, to
render necessary the extravagant self-laudation
which has bccome tho common stock in trade of
every obscure aud reckless adventurer, as well as-of
works whose merit should induce their publishers
to abandon the silly and sickniug practico.
"GRAHAM" MUST STAND OR FALL ON ITS
OWN MERITS.
Tho Opinions of its Readers aud the Press of tho
United States are confidently relied upon, as of fur
more value and efficiency than any solf praise, and
to these we leave tho work for a just estimation of
its worth.
Godman's Family Friend and Giiaiiam, $3 50

possible, by tho first of December. Specimen
copies furnished.

ed to-act as Agents.
