My feeble limbs will not allow me to stand longer. I can say no more, but, before I sit, allow me to tell you that I am in favor of the bill This bill was adopted. SUGAR CANE IN ARKANSAS. We have received from Mr. Asa Hanfield a stalk of Sugar Cane, the produce of his farm in Sevier cornty, in the south-west corner of this territory, which measures four feet six inches in length, and contains sixteen joints, fourteen or filteen of which are ripe and fit for the manufacture of sugar. It has been examined by several gentlemen acquainted with the article, who pronounce it equal in every respect to the produce of Louisiana. The soil on which it grew, is a sandy loam, warm, lively, and easily cultivated, and is situated about 25 miles north of Red river, and about the same distance east of the Choctaw line. Mr. H., we are informed, has raised 3 or 4 acres of the cane this season, and has found it to succeed to the utmost of his expectations. We wish him the most complete success, and we hope that this success may stimulate others to follow his example. The low price of cotton, for severat years past, has been so discouraging to our planters that we think they will soon find their interest in turning their attention to something that will afford them a more ample remuneration for their labor. We have but little doubt that the Sugar Cane can be profitably cultivated in the southern part of our territory, and perhaps to a limited extent as far north as the Arkansas river. It would be but little trouble to try the experiment, and wc have no doubt a few layers for that purpose could be procured from Mr. Hartfield, if timely application be made to him.
