OFFfCjL Tiiey wero first commenced in Virginia, where the attention of the seniors wjs strongly duectedto this subject, by the British govern ment. Silk worm eggs, white mulberry trees, and primeu iilsiructious, wote scut ovor; aud King James the First finding ho could not force tho silk culuire at Homo hoped for ho tter suc cess ill V irgiiim, which he wus very desirous should rear silk instead of tobacco; the latter tiding a weed “which brings many disorders aud itueDiivemences."' Tobaccp, however seems to have 1 had tt complete triumph, over ns rival, though the latter lutd all the ounouragement uf loytAjavor. Acts were passed, declaring silk thlnuore profitable commodity for tho colony; and piemiunis, as high-as 10,000 pounds of to bacco, otlbred to sued as should prosecute the s.ik trade, rear worms, and plant trees. This system ot rowaids and penalties was pursued, till 11)06, when further statutory provisions were declared unnecessary, in couswipieucu of the success of various persons in this culture. Tiiey were, however, levivod threeyoars nfivr- wards; but from 1669, the iuteiicrence of the govurnineut scums to have ceased. Al.tjbr Walker had, iu 1664, 70,000 trees growing. Tho eastern part of the stale abounds iu white mulberry trues.—The Secretary hopes that the people ol V irgiiim will see their interest jn re newing the culture of silk; Like means wero luken - (6 produce silk in Georgia, on its settlement iu 1732, lands be ing granted to settlors on condition ihul they planted a hundred wmie mtilborry ireos oil ev ery ten acres. To *eop alivo tho idea of tho silk, culture, there was on onostdo of tho pub lic seal u representation of silk worms wall an uppropriaio motto, in 1795 tho colony ex ported’ upwards of 10.000 lbs. of raw silk, which solo two or ihrcu slillliugs a pound high er than thui of any oibor country. Notwith standing this very encouraging circuaistuuco, die lust parcel ol silk brought Jrom ibe coun try to Savannah, was in 1730*. Silk of a like good quality was produced in South Carol tut), having, ucccurdiug to liio testimony of Sir Thomas Lomue, ilio cuuiuuui silk manufacturer, us much strougtit and beauty us tho stilt of Ita ly. ..-The culturu disappeared, however, iu liko manner. „ Even m tho more northern climates of Penn sylvania and Now Jersey, the uuempi was nmdo. and comuiued for several years; Dr. FrauKhuhiglily recomnientling it, aud subscrip tions to some amount being set on foot for its cncouragemcnty Till tho imported white inul- borty trees wero iSrfor use, tile worms were fed from tho native, mulberry, neo. Some farther a.tempts have been made during tho last three years, tho former asso^.utpu having been put mi end to by the Revolutionary war.. Thu Secretary says “the memory of Mr. Nathaniel Aspinwult deserves to ho held in -everlasting and giatcful remeiuberaucc, for the thousands of white mulberry trees iio planted ta New York Pennsylvania imd Jersey. 14 Connecticut tho'^ culture of silk commenc ed in h6D. The legislature granted a bounty of ten shillings ior uvuiy hundred trees pl.intud, aud preserved lor three years, and lbrcu pence au ounce for rutv silk. This cultuio is still con tinued, as is well kiiowu, in Connecticut. In tho victni.y of Mansfield, “tlireo or four tuns of silk are mtldo.ullIlually. ,, ..' Sumo silk lias iilso been made in oilier New England stales, Tu New Yuik, Ohio anil Kentucky. From 1755 to 1772, several hundred pounds sterling were paid to various persons in Geor gia, S. Carolina am| Connecticut, in tho way of premiums for the culture of silk by a socie ty in’ London for “the promotion of Arts," dec. Fortunate Escape. Yestoiduy we publish ed the names of several Americans who were confined ou board tho Brasilian Prison ship at Rio Januirb. Wo liavo since seen Mr. Rum- say, one of the sufferers, who wus captured in tho Pampcyio some mouths since, with Capt. Chase; and wip>, after several months impris- oilmen!, uuder tho most painful circumsuiucos, succeeded, with several others, in mukiitg his escape. Mr. R. came passenger iu the ship London Packet, urrived at tins port yester day. Tho account ho gives of his escape is extremely interesting. Ho states that the treatment he and bis fellow sufferers experienc ed was excessively liarslt; their allowance per day being I ib. ot beef, 1 lb: beaus, and the same quantity ofFutin..; nominally, but in fact, BJ httighkedi.it quantity, owing to tho intpo- i.uous practised by ihosu through whuso hands it was furnished. Hu says, tho escape of him self aud friends was planned hud talked of sumo says previous to its execution, and propositions were made to thoioiiicr prisoners tojuui in it, but they declined. A paper was drawn up and signed by those engaged in the en.erprise, bind ing themselves to succor each oilier, in case of need, and siaiiug that tho signers wero tho only persons engaged in the plan. The arrange ment was, to take possession oi tho boat at tho time it should be brought to receive the guard, wIiom: duty it wax, during tho night, to low round tho ship. At the moment ike boat was brought along side, by two boys, Mr. Almeida, (sou of Capt. Almeida ol this place) asked Ins companions if they were ready, ami being ans wered in tho affirm ilive, slipped down into her by means of a rope, and was followed by tho other nine. They had pulled utruy from the ship tho distance cf about fifteen feet, when two Fienchmon, who were also prisoners, jumped from tho goard-ship into the water, aud wi-o drawn in the boat. Owing, ti is supposed, to I the tonypiratg tanetud, From, the Columbus Enquirer: ; ’ INDIAN AFFAIRS. ja Col. Brearly has for several weeidfc i.-eon actively engaged in collecting a second party of suqh of the Creek Indians as are desirous >o em igrate to the west—but it is very doubtful wheth er ho will be ablo 'to tnko with him ns great a number us composed the first party that accom panied him to the Arkansas. This is owing to the open interference of the hostile chiefs, and ihe secret influento of others whose interest it is to defeat emigration. AbbuVfivc weeks ngo, agenend spirit of em igration prevailed in tho- nation, and it was bo- lie’vcd that thu groater portion of Ihe Indians would move Without any difficulty or dissention. Those tvllo'liad already gone, had expressed an emiro sa(isfaction wjth tho change of countrv; nono Wero wlttjnV to roturn; and of tho wliolo number, one individual only w-is jpiown to mani fest discontent.’ Thfv found tfie land,not as it had been faithlessly represented to bo, sterile and unhealthy, destituto of gamo, and surround ed by implacable enemies—hut on tlm contr.i.-y, they found fertility in the soil nnd salubrity io tho air; the hills and vallics abounding in girhu of every de.sci iption, and instead of hostile und rapacious neighbors,they were received with'du- nionsirationsofpoaceby a mmicrous (ribe,spcrik- * ing a language similar to tlioir own, who were ' willing to rccognrzo them ns a common family, hound together by the bunds of friendship.^- When this cheering prospect of individual hap piness and national prosperity w.is comratinicti- teil to tlioif friends whom they Ini! left behind, it had the desired effect of pi educing hi their minds nn anxious desiro to follow tho foatttp'M of those who had gono hefiire, and participate their blessings. The consequence was, that immediately on tho return of Col. ■.Brear)-/, when it was known that Iio wished-'to collect another party, numbers flocked to nn appoint ed rendezvous, and enrolled their names ns em igrants, in a book prepared for tho purpose- all seemod Impatient to reulizo the advsntiu- - opened to them in the west, and it was bdievei). that Col. Brcarly would bo ob!o in a .short time to set out on .his journey with u bodv of two thousand of them! .Suddenly, hoivevpr, till* spirit of emigration was arrested—by wlinui and by wh'nt moans, time m ty ’ devel'spn. secret qquncil was iield in the nation, aud m > ny of the Indians whohad expressed a willin ness to emigrate, have, since that council, refu sed to enrol their names, nnd nearly nn him- drod who had previously enrolled their name* as emigrants, have deserted the place of render-" vour. It is understood that dcnunciatiocs of ' death have been (brown out by sonr--.' of the lea ding hostile chiefs, against all such as shall eti- courage emigration, and one of them was suffer ed to go to t!to camp where the emigrating party wero assembled, and drive off nearly fijjy of the Ucltoes, who were preparing themselvr'^* in readiness to march, * No change has oerm. rod in tho condition or circumstances of tku Indians, calculated to prodneon rovnlution <>f feeling amongst them against emigrating—Bur. it is believed they still retain tho disposition tu emigitrtiqand would willingly embrace the pro*, ent opportunity to do so, if they wero freed from the influence and power of sotno of their treach erous loaders.—They Itavo every reason to bo anxious for an exchange of couutry; at lease, their necessities require their removal from tho one thoy occupy.—'They are almost in a state of starvation:—they subsist nt present upon tho little corn which is meted out to them at tlie rates of two dollars per bushel, chnrgi.bli qp their annuity—And it -may be asked wi:ii propriety, wkero is their sulisistetice to conic from after their year’s stipend is, exhausted *. Thoyhavo expended nearly all ofit^n corn and whiskey already, nnd when the hit is par ted with, famino must follow. Yet, with this terrible prospect before tln/m of death by star vation, are many of them weak enough to- bp - restrained by their wicked counsellors fjom-■ eniigrtfling to a land abounding in plenty where thoy will be fed by the bounty of tho gen'er*! government until they are able by their owe* exertions to support themselves, ^uch qq ir rational submission to the authority of thfeir wicked leaders, ought to be sufficient to opr-u » the eyes of our Government to the real situation ofuffiirs in tho Greek Nation, and convince : her of tho high necessity of adopting some en • orgetic and decisivo meazurus to force emigra tion, and save tlie Indians from tho calamities which their longer continuance in this coatuiy is likely tu bring upon them.
