liARMKHT CITY CIIIODIiATIOSI.
Artificial Sllkspinniutu
The I‘aris correspondent of ihe Loudon At
las, says that a savant of the (ormer city, rea
rming upon the fact that silkworms obtain
their raw material from the mulberry leaf
alone, set about analyzing the leaf, und by
boiling it to a thick paste, has succeeded in
producing every variety of silk in immense
quantities. The aforesaid correspondent pro
fusses to liuve seen several yards of the new
fabric, and pronounces it equal to the best
worm silk, only somewhat less lustrous. It
can be furnished at 5 francs per pound,—l2o
francs cheaper than the ordinary article. The
story is very Frencby, but is of immense im
portance if true. Till better informed, we
forbear to speculate upon the great changes
in cotton markets, ball rooms, and society gen
erally, which such a discovery would surely
tiring about; but, upon the principle of taking
time by the forelock, it behooves tho upper
ten to keep a sharp look out for some new fab
ric, sufficiently costly to preserve “proper
distinctions” and those lines and boundaries
which apparel chiefly marks out and maintains.
Meanwhile a suggestion—what think the haul
ton of gossamer dresses woven of those threads
upon which the Night strings her sparkling
heads—in a word, spidor webs ? A dress of
such airy material could only be aflorded in
the “very best society.”

We learn that a negro man fell from tho
l’assengcr Train of the Montgomery and West
Point Hail Road, going West on Wednesday
morning, and was crushed to death. The acci
dent occured about one mile from Chchaw.
Erratum.
In stating tho position of Senator Toombs
on tho Danish Sound dues, in yesterday’s issue,
wc were led into error by the contemporary
from whom wo copied. His position was, that
the treaty with Denmark could only bo repeal
ed in accordance with its own terms— "or by a
new treaty.”
Tho damage done on tho Nashville and Chat
tanooga railroad, by the late freshet, occurred
at the Wnrtrnce bridge. Os course allthrough
business has been measurably suspended.
Dead.
Tho hen which paid us a visit a day or two
sinco, wo regret to learn, has gone tho way of
all slosh, fish, and fowl. Her “boss,” a col
ored man, yesterday guillotined her ! 110 says
he hated to do it, but she troubled him—was
a gadabout, vexatious, and would not stay with
him. And for this ho put a quietus upon her!
The truth is, wc expect, that thero was no
sympathy between them. Asfor the lion, now
that she has gone, we feel bound to dcclaro
that she was an uncommon hen, and evident
ly of a literary turn of mind ; one of tho last
acts of her life was to look over tho papers on
our table, which sho did with evident and ar
dent curiosity.
Flight of Wildcat Bankers.
We find the following paragraph in the
money article of the last Philadelphia Bulle
tin :
“ Our private dispatches to-day announce
tho f'ailuro and flight of a hanking firm in Chi
cago, (Messrs. Preston & C 0.,) and another in
Geneva, 111., (Messrs. Barnes & C 0.,) who have
been concerned iu the Planters’ Bank at Dal
ton, Ga.
A Canadian merchant has recovered SB,OOO
damages of the Montreal Telegraph line, he
having lost that much on flour, through tho
company's neglect to keep him posted. His
Now York agent advised him of the decline in
time him to save himself: but tho mes
sage was not promptly forwarded. Procras
tination is said to ho thief of time; also, as it
seems above, of money.
The Tennessee Freshet.
Tho Tennessee papers are full of freshot
paragraphs, detailing tho immense damages
to property and even an occasional loss of
life. Never before was there such a visita
tion of disaster iu that State. Among other
exciting incidents related, is the following:
But tho most melancholy result was at Lynu
ville, on tho turnpikejroail a about|fourteeu miles
north of Pulaski.
Lyun creek, running through the town,
rose to sucli a heighten Tuesday morning, and
so suddenly, as to destroy almost without
warning a house occupied by a man named
Kiehardson, situated in the lower part of the
village within in some twenty foot of the main
road. Tho building was crushed in a few
moments, the father and mother finding them
selves with an iufaut drifting down the angry
torrent, two other children having perished in
bed at the time the house fell. After Boating
with the wreck about three quarters of a mile,
the whole family lodged against a tree, the
father severely injured, tho children dead, and
the mother so jammed amongst the drift, as
with the best efforts of the husband barely
able to keep her head above the roaring wa
ters.
Iu this condition they wero discovered a lit
tle after daylight, and heroically rescued by a
young man named Isaac Bearden, who swam
his horse to the spot, declaring his iuseution,
to “save them or perish iu the attempt’’
Others finally aided him in the geuerous en
deavor.
Burglarious.
The Montgomery Journal has the follow
ing:
A prisoner who, a few days since, was lib
erated from jail ou bail, as he was about leav
ing, informed the sheriff that he could show
him something amusing.
After asking the otticor to examino the floor,
which he did without observing anything pe
culiar; the prisoner pointed out a small trap
dooi, about a foot square, and so ingeniously
fitted as to escape the ordinary observation of
the eye. On raising the trap, a small cell was
found beneath it, containing a large amount
of burglars’ tools, such as saws, augurs, files,
“jimmeys,” skeleton keys and moulds for
keys, which fitted every lock in the building.
Thiß was the work of the noted burglar, John
son, who broke jail some months ago, and has
since been recaptured. He is now in the cage,
where he wil not again get a chance, soon, to
write amusing letters. The wonder is, how
he could have obtained such extensive mate
rials. Doubtless from accomplices outsido.
GEORGIA ITEMS.
We learn from Milledgcville papers, that
the ceremony of laying the Corner stone ol’
the new Georgia Lunatic Asylum, was duly
performed last week. After prayer by the
Itev. Dr. Tabnage, an able address was deliv
ered by Hon. W. T. Gould, of Augusta, and
the Stone was then formally laid, with Masonic
ceremonies, by acting Grand Master It. W.
Wm. 8. Rockwell. An elegant collation was
furnished at the close of the ceremonies by
Dr. Green, Huperintendant of the Asylum.
The Chronicle office (Augusta) is now lit
with Gas made from a portable “Gas-Maker,”
located on the premises. There is an agency
in Augusta for these machines, and the Chron
icle pronounces their gas to be better than the
gas,” and only half as costly.
The Southern Recorder says of the Thoinas
ton and Harnesville Road, that it will proba
bly he linished in time for the growing crop.
Harnesville and Thomaston are reported to he
looking up, and rapidly improving.
Wo learn from the same source that Mr.
George Walker, of Pulaski, is making the ex
periment of an Artesian well. K has attained
the depth of 102 feet, with every prospect of
success. The Recorder speculates upon the
results, if good pure water were obtainable in
our southern counties, and thinks lands would
thereby bo greatly enhanced in value.
The Supreme Court niet in lUilledgeville on
Monday last, Judge® Deunirig and McDonald,
presiding. There were only five cases on the
docket.
ALABAMA ITEMS.
Rail Road Collision. —There was a collis
ion on Monday night, on the Montgomery and
W'est Point Road near Auburn, between a pas
senger arid freight train, both bound up. The
Journal says :
The engine, running into the lumber cars,
was completely demolished, and we learn that
the engineer was severely, though not danger
ously scalded. No others were hurt, which
seems providential, us there were somo 200
passengers on the train. The lumber train
bad stopped to repair some accident, and had
no signal but a single light, which was mis
taken by the engineer on the mail train for the
signal of a way passenger, until too late to
avoid tho collision.
Fatal Casualty. —Mr. Thomas McCrary of
Pike county, was almost instantly killed on
Monday last, in tho city of Montgomery, by
being thrown out of his wagon against a tree.
In falling lie was caught between the tree and
the wheels, and so crushed and mangled that
he never breathed after the accident. The de
ceased lived near Troy, and leaves a wife and
several children.
The Selma Reporter 14th, says the river at
that place had risen three feet within the pre
vious four days, and is now in good boating
order.
Tho Cahaba Gazette, (Dem.) endorsed by the
Selma Reporter, (K. N.) denounces the late
removal of tho Cahaba Land Office, as iniqui
tous, “ dono just to please Mr. Shorter,” dam
aging to President Pierce’s future prospects,
and worthy of being inquired into.
Four Dkf.u at two Shots !—Mr. Thomas
Little, who oversees for Col. George W. Clift,
living seven miles North of this place, killed
four full grown deer one morniug last week.
He had taken a stand at a “ Lick,” with a
double barrelled gun, aud the four all coming
together, he fired both barrels in quick succes
sion, thereby killing the whole ibui\ —Central
Alabamian ‘hid.
Accident. —Mr. Edward Patterson, liviug
six miles below Jonesborou’, met with a se
rious accident a few days ago. Ho had been
out on a doer hunt, and came home late at
night, and while in the act of laying liis gun
upon a rack it wont oil', three buckshot pass
ing through his left hand, tearing it very bad
ly.—/*.
Chops. —Serious apprehension exists among
our planters for the safety of the Cotton crop.
The cool nights of the last four or five days
havo caused the lice to make their appearance
on the plants, and if the weather does not
change very soon, the crops will be materially
injured, if not wholly destroyed.
Corn and Oats are backward, and are suffer
ing considerably for rain.— Run. Recorder 15/*.
Fatal Accident. —On Friday last, as Mr.
A. 11. Kimball was coming down the Railroad
on a hand ear, some four miles above Enter
prise, himself working the crank, his hand
slipped from it, and the crank struck him
about the middle, throwing him in front of tho
car, which passed over him, mutilating his
body in a frightful manner. Medical aid was
of no avail, and death ensued on Saturday
morning. Deceased was a son of F. G. Kim
ball, Esq., and was much loved and respected
by all w ho knew him.— Mobile Even. XewsVlth.

Kunaas Matters.
We learn from various sources, that the
tide of emigration to Kansas from the free
States has dwindled down very much for some
weeks past, while that from the South is ra
pidly increasing. We copy below several in
teresting items of Kansas news :
Westport, Mo., April 2‘J. —Hurrah for
Georgia! Hurrah for Alabama! Hurrah lor
South Carolina and Tennessee! Now, there
are in this vicinity, lately landed, over 500,
perhaps more, emigrants from these four
States. There are not half enough public
houses, ami the citizens have turned out to get
the emigrants comfortable places for lodging.
All the vacant houses and tenantless rooms of
every description have been furnished by Ma
jor Buford, for it is the bulk of the company
that, at this time, makes the crowd. Add to
all Ibis, that to-day the F. X. Aubry arrived
with a large number of moro Southerners, and
that they are likewise landing in great num
bers at Levenworth and Atchison, and you
can see wliat the South is doing. If these
things continue long, there will be no strug
gle at all, for the South is now several
hundred ahead of the North in regard to this
Spring’s emigration, whilo, at the same time,
tho South is increasing every day, and the
North falling oft". To-day, the Yankee hotel
at Kansas City looked somewhat like a “ban
quet hall deserted none of the Southerners,
scarcely stop there. The healthy reaction
that seems to be taking place at the North, is
stopping, to a certain extent the flood of Abo
litionism that threatened to overrun Kansas.
Major Buford’s company will outfit here,
and in a few days set out for the Territory.
They are a fine-looking set of young men, and
if they make as good settlers as they are
doubtless good fighters, Kansas will be greatly
indebted to the originator of the expedition.
Three weeks ago, when the principal travel to
the Territory appeared to be from the wrong
source, the Freesoilers, as soon as they got
into Kansas, would be so insolent and insult
ing as to make it very unpleasant to travel
the same road with them. But they are get
ting very quiet.
It is now thought that Sheritf Jones cannot
live. He suffers immense pain, and is spitting
blood; all his organs are completely paralyzed.
His groans are heart-rending, and from the
fact that he is to be turned over in the bed
every few moments in the day and night you
can guess what they are for, and the nursing
he requires.
We have much rain. The wet and mud are
almost intolerable. H. C. P.
Kansas, May 3, 1856.
Major Buford’s company have all gone into
the territory. Yesterday morning, before
leaving here, they were very eloquently ad
dressed by Mr. A. Baker of Alabama, and
Col. A. Anderson of Lexington, Missouri, and
at the close of the speaking the Major was pre
sented with a fine horse, bridle and saddle.—
Tho horse was given by Mr. Samuel L. McKen
uey, of Westport, a gentleman of wealth and
high standing. The horse is a spirited and
well made sorrel, which cost $l5O. The sad
dle, for which S4O was paid, was bought by
subscription ; and the briddle was presented
by Mr. Dillon at this place. The presentation
was made as a testimonial of Major Buford’s
“ services in behalf of the cause of Slavery in
Kansas.”
Another letter dated at Westport says ;
Although there is a deep feeling of sympa
thy on the part of the people here for Jones
and his family, and au intense desire to avenge
this outrage upon them, yet, all is quiet at
present. What will be the result of these
continued outrages, it is at present impossible
to anticipate.
The great jam still continues, and is increas
ing every day. Two or more boats arrived
this evening, augmenting the crowd. To-day
a great many tents were made, and so soon as
they can be used we will be somewhat relieved.
1 forgot in my last letter to mention the hand
some manner in which Major Buford’s com
pany were received. On their arrival at Kan
sas City they were met by a delegation from
Westport, beaded by a brass band, a fine com
pany of sprightly young men, and welcomed
by Gen. G. W. Clark, who was responded to
by Major Buford. This took place on the
wharf. Afterward the crowd assembled in
front of the “ American,” and called out sev
eral gentlemen for speeches.
Instinct.
Mr. l’utuam, some eighteen months since,
brought to liis residence on Floyd street, two
fine patridges. These he kept and fed atten
tively until last spring—one year ago—when
they were set free, about two miles from Mid
dletown and ten miles from the city. During
the intense cold the past winter these birds re
turned to the residence of their kind protec
tor. One bleak wintry day Mr. Putnam was
astonished by a rapping at his window, and
found the two patridges seeking entrance. He
instantly recognized them as his old friends by
peculiar marks upon their bodies. Os course,
he could but take them in and treat them kind
ly. They are now habitues of his grounds,
“circulating” promiscuously among the fowls
and making themselves at home within and
without doors. We have never, in the course
of our reading, met with a more striking in
stance of the development of instinct, It ap
pears, indeed, beyond belief, that a couple of
patridges released from a cage, twelve miles
from the place where they were confined,
should, after a lapse of nearly two years, re
turn to their old home—driven there by the
pangs of hunger and cold.— Louisville Courier.
We remember discussing with a friend, a
ew days since, the tumeability and domesti
cation of patridges, with aconclusion to which
tho above is a contradiction. Could they be
raised as our common fowls are, they would
be a most delightful addition to the bill of fare,
ordinary. Specially adapted are they to the
palate of tho sick, and to weak digestors. A
piece of plump partridge-bosom, duly browu
ed and duly buttered, is a morsel which no
man may decline. We trust Mr. Putnam will
experiment on his two friends, and that they
may become the Adam and Eve of anew breed
—the partridgio domesticus. But we are told
by those who have tried it, that this same “in
stinct” alluded to above, is the real difficulty
in the way. Repeated attempts have been
made to rear tame partridges, from the eggs,
but thus far, in vain. Wild turkeys, however,
have been often domesticated thus ; and as all
turkeys were wild till their “time come,” it
may also be that tho time has come for par
tridges to yield submissively to man—no long
er to be chased with net and gun, through bush
and bramble, but confiued to the poultry yard
to be ebased when wanted, by tho house-boy
and the cook. Partridges can no more evade
their manifest destiny, than can Bonapartes,
or Turkey, or Nicaragua.

Coming to a Head.
Tilings in the neighborhood of San Juan,
may ere long be expected to attain a focus. —
Orders have been sent out in the Orizaba,
to the United States war vessel now at
San Juan, to resist any attempt on the part of
the British frigate Eurydice, to interfere with
the lauding or transit of American citizens. —
The Jiurydice has her government orders to
make such interference; and if both vessels
obey orders, we shall once more be at dagger’s
point with Britain.
We have no desire for a war with England.
But believing, as we do, that British influence
is to be finally extinguished on the Western
Continent; and that American principles are
to spread from the Northwestpassage to Terra
del Fuego, we have no complaints to make
against the inevitable “onward” of manifest
destiny, or the manner of that onward. Never
have we subscribed to the doctrines of the
peace societies. They are ahead of the age
by some centuries--at present, wholly imprac
ticable. And though men may talk eloquent
ly’ of the horrors of war, and declaim against
French Revolutions, true philosophy bids us
remember, that for the present, the price of
liberty is blood, and the musket the best pro
tection against oppression. Wars are the mor
al thunder storms that purify the air ; and as
things are now constituted, it is as wise to de
nounce the one as the other.
While therefore we do not long for, or wish
to precipitate war with Great Britain, we think
it unwise to complain because that inevitable
event, sooner or later, seems likely to arrive
sooner than most speculators had imagined.—
And if it be really at hand, we congratulate the
country on the justice of the cause, the impor
tant considerations which are to induce it, and
the glorious gains to result from it.
In this connection we give the following
items from the Washington letter to the
Charleston Courier:
“ The commander of the Eurydice is Capt.
Tavleton, an ominous name, and he is a de
scendant of Col. Tarleton, so well known in
the South during the revolution. The name
of the commander of the Potomac is also histo
rical, though I do not vouch for the fact that
he is of the family of the Paulding who was
one of the captors of Andre. He is a relative
of the former Secretary of the Navy, J. K.
Paulding.
The l’otomac is, as I am informed by naval
officers who have seen the Eurydice, a much
more powerful ship than that, and would, in a
single combat, soon sink her. But Captain
Tarleton has a dispatch steamer at his com
mand, by which lie can soon communicate with
the British Admiral on the West India station.
The British fleet on that station is more than
usually powerful.
The Admiral is under the orders of Mr.
Crampton so far as this affair is concerned.—
Capt. Tarleton, we may be assured, has not
acted without orders.
Much now depends upon the discretion and
prudence ot our Executive, and alsi upon the
honor of Mr. Crampton. To-morrow despatch
es are expected from Mr. Dallas, embracing a
courteous but firm and decided refusal to with
draw Mr. Crampton. Will our government
dismiss him? This is still a question among
outsiders; but, if there is sincerity in Cabinet
declarations, he will be dismissed. No diffi
culty could result from his dismissal, per se,
but has he not it in liis power to aggravate the
difficulty between us and England ?
1 have reason to believe that the President,
notwithstanding the earnest opposition of Mr.
Marcy and Mr. Cushing, will, after a while,
recognise the Rivas-Walker government.”
Western Giants tn their Slumbers.
The Burlington (Iowa) State Gazette states
that while workmen were engaged in excavat
ing for the cellar of Gov. Grimes’ new build
ing on the edrner of Main and Valley streets,
they came upon an arched vault sonic ten feet
square, which on being opened was found to
contain eight human skeletons of gigantic pro
portions. Tlio walls of the vault are about
fourteen inches thick, well laid up with cement
or some other indestructible mortar. The
vault is about six feet deep from the base of
tho arch. The skeletons are in a good state
of preservation, and we venture to say are the
largest human remains ever found, being a lit
tle over eight feet long !
The Immaculate Conception.
Diplomatic intercouse has been suspended
between Mexico and the Holy See, and the
Mexican Minister, M. Larinza, has hauled
down his Hag anti decamped with bag and
baggage. Cause unknown—but supposed to be
connected in some way or other with the doc
trine of the Immaculate Conception. It is
somewhat curious, that about eight months
ago this dogma was nowhere reeeived with such
extravagant demonstrations of joy as in Mex
ico. Almost every house was illuminated.
One little circumstance, however, ought to be
noted iu this connection, and that is, that eve
ry house that remained in darkness was mulc
ted in the sum of ten dollars—the ownerfoot
ing the bill.
On the 28th ult., a couple of Germans were
married in Cincinnati by Esq. Rowecamp.
The husband came to this country some time
before he sent for his wife. She came by New
Orleans, while lie had gone to meet her in
New York. They never met until a few weeks
ago. Iu the meantime both had obtained divorc
es, both had married again, and both had lost
their partners.
A Brutal Parent.
Wallace, alias Stevenson, a man connected
with the Jullien Minstrels, as violinist, was ar
rested on the 6th inst.,, at Nashville, Tennes
see, for brutally flogging a little boy, said to
be liis son. The poor child’s body was amass
of black raw flesh, sickening to the sight. The
inhuman parent was committed to jail. Many
of tho citizens were greatly incensed with the
man and wished to deni summarily with him
Jon Bull in Nicaragha.
Meagher’s “Irish News” accuses England
of being at the bottom of all the Central Amer
ican trobles. It says :
“ England is there—a deadly serpent in the
chappnrel of that rich and beatious region—
and it will be her’s, unless driven from it by
such a volley as made her reel at the Bayou
Bienvenue, and sent her home a cripple from
New Orleans.”
