THE HERALD: AuHKb shall appear in our next. For the Darien Herald. NECROLOGY. Among the numerous science* that have been brought into existence by the learning of our scicntiAc men of the age, is thai of “Ladies Necxotoov.” This science, though simple in appearances, is an independent science, com prehending within itself the true principles of # tbr mind, through the developments of ibis beautiful structure of the human form—the graceful neck f—swelling with the passions of the soul, or softly sleepingon tho placid bosom, or animated only with the softer, gayer, or wittier passions, us they may predominate in reft'evc of each other, making it one of the happiest systems to study the mind of the La dies, (hat the age has patronized. In comparison with the sciences of Lnvator, of flail, orHpurxhctnc, this new science stands paramount—claiming the right from the sim plicity of its practice, the merits of its name, over the intricate and exploded theories that lvave preceeded in the world. The public will receive it with raptures, and acknowledge it as the fundamental theory and study of the Ladies mind. It spreads before the public the principles of a science founded on the philoso phy of the neck, which portrays so lieautifully the portrait of the mind ; spreading before the philosophic mind for contemplation, the di vine excellence of a gracefully turned neck!— exhibiting the swelling and sinking of the va ried feelings of the heart, as they rise through ihcrauscels and auxilimries of that compen dious index of the human passions. Neienres founded on ns correct principles as these, car ries with them the impress of truth, when they are made easy to the mind of the careless ob server ; hut not like the many theories that have been before the public, wrapped in the intricate depths of abstruse reasoning that a lisorba llic beauty of its system before the re searcher can appreciate the mystery. Ncck oiogy, however, from the simplicity of its theory, is of the former class, and s'Vtceptnblc of the most volutile study. A few lectures on the principles would be suflirieiil to acquire nn interest in its beauties, that would lead the persevering to the attainment of its profouu dest mysteries. BLANK. CONURKBH. Monday, January 21, IHffit. IN HKNATK. The Nennte passed the Cumberland Itoad bill to day by a vole of 24 to 22. The rest of the day was consumed in the dis cussion of, business of no fAvftc importance— several Private Bills taken up and considered.

After an Executive Session the Senate ud Jourocd, HOUSE OF RKPKKHKNTATIVKM. Mr. Graham, ofN. C. then offered a reso lution calling upon the Secretary of War for information.—The resolution was adopted. The information sought for is to ask of the Se cretary why it is that six hundred Cherokee Indians are now in North Carolina at the point of starvation 1 This is a fact, I believe, and the cause of it is presumed to be a misapplica tion of Ute Public Money. PETITIONS Were then received from the several States, beginning w lilt Maine. Petitions were presen ted from all the New England .Stales asking for the abolition of Slavery in the District of Columbia—for the abolition of the Slave trade • -against the admission of any new Save State into the Untoltwfor tlm Bepeul of the resolu tions of December laying Attolilion memorials upon I he table—against the Annexation of Tex asffothe United States ; and for various other object* connected with the Abolition move ment*. When Mr. Adams rose, he said he had upon the door a large number of petitions, relating to the Abolition of Slavery. -Suite of them would lie laid upon the table, under the rules ofthe House, and others might bo referred. Be fore presenting these petitions, Mr. Adam* said that it would be gratifying to him, if the House would allow lum to slate, his position. He wished to be. understood by the House and the Country, for he was not now understood. ** lie had before him he said, a multitude of letters, all of them from the Southern section es tlte country, and all of them threatening him with assassination. Whether these tetters were intended to threaten or intimidate him, or to put tlte threats into execution, or were iu(emivd to quiz him, w as a matter of no impor tance, Until was right that he should be un derstood, and he therefore asked leave to make a statement. Objections being made. Mr. Grennel moved to suspend the rules. Theayesand noeswere ordered, and the motion to suspend was sus tained. Ayes 117, noes SB. Mr,. Adams ex pressed himself grateful to the ■Hfemlti!genre granted. In refer . . ii,::;..::. ; \y : : .jigs®. H ‘ij \ . .

But he Chose not to do no, because such a course would have consumed a great deal of the time of the House. Mr. Adams then said that it was Well known, or should be well known that he was not lor granting the prayer of the peti tions. I am, said he, against tne prayer, and if the (location should come before the House at this day, I should vote against the Abolition of -Slavery in the District of Columbia. I have made this declaration repeatedly. If it could be done, continued .Mr. Adams, I would to-morrow vote to recede the District of Columbia to the .States of Afaryland and Ver grnia. I would have the Capital of the Coun try in some section where -Wlmery does not exist. I <lu not think the Constitution of the United .States would allow this, and therefore I shall not propose it, or vote for it when pro posed by others. I wish, said Mr. Adams, that my views should be understood on this point. I wish the Abolitionists to understand that after reading their paper* and documents, and all that has been publicly said in favor of the Abolition of -Slavery here, I am not prepared to vote for it. However I am open to conviction on all sub jects, nnd not so fixed in any opinion as not to lie willing to idler that opinion. .Speaking of another subject, Mr. Adams, said I think it much eaaier to threaten to mur der a man titan to murder him. But history is full of examples where such threats have lieen put into execution. Men excited often do stirlt things, and no subject is more likely to cause excitement, than the one to which the subject of Abolition refers. Speaking of the authors of the letter* sent him, Mr. Adaina remarked that, to say (list I ran face a bully is saying no more than to place me on a level with s’T the members of this House. But to say that lamto he intimidated for the cou.se I have persued here is saying a girnt deal more than is true. In excuse for presenting Abolition petitions, Afr. Adam* said, I have on my table, 17ft pe titions, all of which I have received *ince last petition day. They are all aent and entrusted to my especial care. They arc most of them accompanied with letters earnestly soliciting me to present them and to take charge of them. Most of these petitions said Mr. A. are from persons who never can do me a favor, who have not a vote to give me, if I should ever a giin be a candidate. What can Ido ill answer to that trust 7 I have frit it a duty, and a sa cred duty, to meet this trust by presenting the pet,lions mid leaving them to the action of tin* lloute. This is all I have done. I say this in jutliee to myself and injustice to tbit: House. I do rot wish to incur iue odium of unnecessa rily esnsuntinj; Ute time of this House. I have not dote so. I shall not do so. I think Ido but jus ice to those, who tutve confided to me in presenting singly the petition* sent to me from man who have thus voluntarily confided to me as important trust. Mr. Adam* then stated what were his mo tive* in presenting the resolutions connected with Andrew .Stevenson. He vindicated his own motives, and said that he had no other ab ject in view than thr honor of hia Country. After concluding his remarks, he preaented Ills petitions. HILK CULTURE [From the Silk Grover) Upon the settlement ofGeorgia, in 1732, the culture of lk was also contemplated as a principal object of attention, and lands were granted to settlers upon a condition that they planted one hundred white mul berry tree* on every ten acres, when clear ed, and ten years were allowed for their cultivation. Trees, seed, and the eggs of silk-worms, were sent over by the trustees to whom the insnageinent of the colony was committed. An Episcopal clergyman, ami a native of I'iedmont, were engaged to instruct the people in the art of rearing the worms and winding the silk. In order to keep alive the idea of the silk culture, mid of the views of the Government respec ting it, on one side of the public seal was a representation of silk worms, in their vari ous stages, with thr appropriate motto, ‘non sihi sod alii*.” By a manuscript volumr|nf proceedings and accounts of the trustees, to which the writer he had access, it appears that the first parcel of silk which was re ceived by the trustees, was in the year 17- 3\ when eight pounds of raw silk were ex ported from Savannah to England. It was inode into a piece, and presented to the Queen. From this time until the year 1750, there are entries of large parcels of raw silk re ceived from Georgia, the produce of co coons raised by the inhabitants, and bought from them, at established prices, by the a gents of the trustees, who had it reeled off under their direction, In the year 17M, a public filature was erected, by in dor of the trustees. “The exports of silk, from the year 1750 to 1754, inclusive, amounted to ikN,NBO. In the year 1757, one thousand and fifty pound* of raw silk were received at the filature. In the year 1768, this buil ding wa* consumed by lire, with a quantity of silk, and 7,810 pounds rorooila ; but a nothcr building was erected. In the year 1750, the colony supported upward of 10,- 000 weight of raw silk, w hich sold two or three shillings higher per pound, than that of any other country.” According to an official statement of William Brown, Comp troller of the Customs of Bavannah, 8,820 pound* of raw silk were exported between the year 1755 and 1772, inclusive. The last pared brought for sale to Havannah, wa* in the year 1700, when upwards of two hundred weight w ere purchased for expor tation, at 18*, and 20s, per pound. Some attention was also paid, in early times to the culture of silk in .South Caro lina ; ami the writer has been informed, that, during a certain period, it was a fash ionable occupation. The ladies *ent the raw silk produced bv them to England, and had it manufactured. “In the year 1756, Mrs. Pinckney, the same day who about ten years before, had introduced the iudigo lilant in Booth Carolina, took with her to tagland a quantity of excellent silk, which she had raised and spun in the vieinety of Charleston, suffirent to make three com- 1 plele dresses ; one of them was presented to the princess Dowager of Whales, and a nothcr to Lord Cheatertield.—They were allowed to be equal to any silk erer im ported. The third dress, now (1800) in Charleston, in the possession of her daugh ter, Mr*. Horry, is remarkable for its beau ty, firmness, ami strength.” The quantity of raw silk exported as merchandise was small ; for during six years, only 251 lbs. were entered at the custom house. The quality of it was excellent ; according to the certificate of Sir Thomas Loiube, the eminent silk manufacturer, it had a* much strengh and beauty as the silk of Italy. At New Bordeaux, a jFroach settlement, 70 miles above Ati|H. the people supplied much of the high country with sewing silk, during the war of the Revolution. TOSB PHVTTTY; IDR A^Ps, FOREIGN.

My Lord—Having been informed that it ia your intention to pass through a por tion of the United Htates, on your return ’ to England, I embrace the occasion to ex- I press to your Lordship the great satisfac tion 1 should experience if your arrange ments allowed of your visit being extend ed to this city. Ylie friendly sentiments entertained by my fellow rilizeiis towards ; yourself and towards the people of your 1 country, will, I doubt not, prompt a sincere desire on their part to render your sojurn among them agreeable to yourself, as I am sure it will be gratifying to them. For my own part, 1 will esteem tnyself happy if by your presence here 1 shall be afforded the opportunity of manifesting to your Lord ship personally the sincerity witli which 1 share in those sentiments. I am, with very distinguished consider ation, Your Lordship’s most obt. servant, M. VAN HU KEN. llis Excellency the Earl of Durham.

Arrival of the Thirty Five Prisoner * from Canada. —Livkhmuol, Monday.— This morning, in consequence of informa tion having hern received that the Captain Ross had arrived with prisoners from Quebec, a great number of persons were congregated on the St. Georg's Pier. The Captain Koss anchored in Bottle Bay, and a steamer was aent out to bring hark the convicts who arrived about 4 o’clock, and were immediately conveyed to the Liver pool Borough Jail. A desperate attempt was made to mutiny during the passage home, but it was happily frustrated by the determination of Captain Morton, who placed the whole of the prisoners in heuvy irons. FRENCH II I R /.V MEXICO. The letter of Lieutenant Karragut, of the United States Navy, gives additional accounts of the late sharp conflict at Vera Cruz between Admiral Baudiu and General Santa Ana. The letter heart on its face the impress of fairness. The spirit in which the warfare I* renewed, indicate* a protracted and bloody struggle. It may endure until it la-come* complicated with an European war, which is threatened in the movement of troop* by Holland towards the frontier* of Belgium, of which intelligence is brought by the last advices from Paris of the 17th December. Belgium ha* bceu for cen turies the battle ground of all Europe; and it would seem that the dragon’s teeth sown at Waterloo are about to spring up in another crop of armed men. If so, all the nations whose blood enrich that *|a>t, will las found to claimed a share in the next harvest of the sword in that field, where never satiated am bition lias always carved its spoil.—Globe. LATEST FROM TIIE PACIFIC. By way of Panama we have received the annexed letter from Lima, which is a good later than the previous advices. Liu a. Hept. ‘4Bth. I have only time to say that is conse quence of a defection in the army that gar risoned thia place, Gen.

Lower Canada. —The Montreal Herald of the 16th says, sentence of death was last evening officially communicated to eight of the Htate prisoners at present incarcerated in the gaol of this city. The five following, ix :—Pierre Thcophile Kcceigitt, (Notary) Atnbroise Sanguinet, Charles Sanguine!, (brothers,); Francis Xatticr Ilamelin, oth erwise, called Petit Haim-lln, and Joseph Roberts, (Captain,) will be executed on Friday next the four last named were con victed of the murder of the late Mr. Wclk r—Captain Morin is one of the three oth ers to whom a knowledg of their awaiting fate was imparted. Sir John Coibornc was to be installed in the government of British North America on Wednesday last. Rents in New York.— One of the front rooms in the new building of the Bank of the United States, in Wall street, ha* been rented for a term of years, at {54,000 per annum, and there is another tenant ready to take it at the same price, ifthe first should be inclined to withdraw. The Journal of/Commerce says : “ There Is a great rush for’stores and offices in the most central positions, and advances of twenty-five to a hundred per cent, are paid on the prices of last year. In some instance* more has been obtained than in any previous year. Rents in Wall street around the Ex change are much higher than ever before, if we except the momentary rush eattsed by the great fire.” - 1 Extract of a letter dated Lima, Bth Oct 1838 received via Norfolk; “ The Chilian army still occupy this city. Since their loading all business has been sus pended, and no saha, effected, either for our city consumption or the interior, all communi cation being entirely cut off with the latter. This state of affairs cannot last through the present month, a* the Protector’s armies are now marching on Lima, and are expected here in ten days, when the Chilians must rc-embarlc or fight, either of which will produce a result favourable to business. LOWER CANADA. Nv.w York, Jan. *VI. The five prisoner*, whose sentence we mentioned a few day* since, were executed at Montreal on Friday the 18th inst. Four of them were convicted on the charge of murdering Mr. Walker. The Montreal Herald describes the execution, but in such a vein heartless levity, tiiat we will not co py its remarks. On Thursday, the 17th, Sir John Col borne took the oaths, and was installed Govenor of British North America, after which a salute was fired, and the whole reg ular and volunteer force of the city was reviewed. The usual proclamation was issued after the conclusion of the ceremony. The Herald annouces the re-capture of Franceis Nicholas, one of the men tried for the murder of Chartrand, and acquitted, lie is said to have been since engaged, as captain, in the Napierville affair, and had been secreted, since the 23d of December, in a small house between Ht. John’s, and the Isle an Noix. The Herald say* “there is little doubt he will grace the gallows be fore long.” The same Herald, alluding to the recent importation of I t Edenhurg paupers to this city, politely give* its opinion that “the U nited Htates are the common sewer of Eu rope.” It will grieve, wc presume, when informed that the paupers are sent back a gain. The Quebec Mercury say* that three more regiments are coming to Canada, from the West Indies. From the St. Augustine Herald,‘Hth ult. LATE FROM FLORIDA. Sixteen Indians Captured. —We learn by the arrival of an officer of the Army from Fort Butler, last evening, that a de tachment of three companies of Dragoons, under Capt. Floyd J. Beall, left Fort But ler on a scout of seven days, and returned on the *4lsl. having capturrd 16 Indians. When near the A-hn-pop-ka Lake, he dis covered an Indian trail which he followed up until he lost it, and halted. In a short time he heard a rifle, and on looking up he saw a turkey fall from a tree about 150 yards distant. Hia men were instantly ex tended and urged rapidly forward, when he sueceeded in capturing the 16 Indians—‘4 men, 2 boys, ami the rest women and chil dren. Capt Beall’s Company has left for the Okefinokee Swamp. From the same source we learn that on the liOlh a party of 5 Indiana, near Fort Brooks, fired on a wagoner while with his team, and severely wounded him in Ihr breast, hut not so badly as to prevent his escape. In the wagon were a few hags of oats and corn ; the latter they endeavored to carry off, and, probably from fright, they were obliged to leave, after conveying it a bout one hundred yards. The oxen in the wugon were left unharmed. On the ‘4lst, Capt Tompkins came up with their camp and captured their ramp equipage; the In dian* effected their escape. Civilised Amusements. —The following account is given of the late fatal duel at Vicksburg : A duel was fought on the 30th December say* the Memphis Enquirer, opposite Vicksburg, by a Mr. M'Clung, a “notori ous dullist,” and Mr. Menifee, a merchant of Vicksburg, aud brother of the member of Congress of that name, from Kentucky. The duel had been agreed upon for some months, the parties taking time to settle up their affairs in this world and “ prepare to die.” They fought with rifles at forty paces! On the first fire, Mr. Menifee fell, the hall from his antagonist’s rifle having hit the lock of hi* own, and glancing from thence to hit forehead just above the eve, wound round between the skin and the skull to the back part of the head, from whence it was extracted by the surgeon. When M’Clung saw Menifee fall, he is said to have kissed his rifle ; but on being told that his antagonist was not dead, he exclaimed that he was glad of it, for it would enable him to have another shot. Menifee’s second promptly assured him he should be grali iied either by hi* principal or himself. Maternal Love. —The Rising Sun, In diana, Journal of the sth ult. states, that late on the evening of December ‘4sth. Mrs Bradford, a resident of Patriot, Switzer land county, in the absence of her family, except her infant, was seized with a tit, and during the paroxysm, her cloth* caught fire; and from thence communicated to the floor; partially recovering by the influence of the heat, and perceiving her condition, and remembering the situation of her in fant, her maternal affection triumphing, urged her at all hazard to attempt it* rescue. The babe lay in a bed, which was envelop ed in flames, communicting from the moth er’s burning apparel. Bhe seized the in fant and made her escape to the street.— The child was saved, but we are sorry to state that the mother fell a victim to"the devouring clement.

(Trnnslntrd from thr German.] LOUIS OFFON GOELICKE, OF GFRMANY. The greatest of Human Benefactor* 1 t Citizens of North nnd South Antrrira: 1 o Louis Offun Goelieke, M, D. of Germany, (Europe,) Ijrlotigs the uujirrishtdih: honor of adding anew and prerimis dortriiw to the science of medi cine, a doctrine. whir.h, though vehemently optwoud by many of the faculty (of which he is a valuable member.) ht proves to lie as well founded iu truth, ns any doctrine of Holy Writ, —a doctrine, upon the verity of which are suspended the lives of millions of our rare, nnd which he boldly challenges his o||hi w rs to refute, viz , Consumption isa disease always urrnsioned by a disordered state of the Vis Vttie (or Lib l rumple) of the hmnnn body—f>oflrrr secretly urkiiig in the system for years, liefore I here is tho least complaint of tlie lungsjr I —and which may lie as rertamly, though not so quickly, cured as u com mon cold or n simple headache. An invaluably pre cious doctrine this, ns it imparts an important lesson to the apparently healthy of both sexes, teaching them that this insidious foe mav be an unobserved inmate of their ‘ clayey housea',” even while they imagine themselves sure from Us attacks, teaching them that tlie great secret in the art of preserving health IS to pluck out the disease while in the blade, and not watt till the full-grown ear. Appended below are a few certificates of cures from the extremely numerous list that has been sent to the proprietor ; and from the respectability of the sources from which they emanate tlte most skeptical cannot doubt of the wonderful effects of this medi cine. Post Office, Kingston. N. Y July 21. Dr. Rowland Sir —The effects of the German Sun alite are great in this place One woman that wus in a deep Consumption, and who had been in contin ued night sweats for seven months, now considers herself well. She took no other medicine but the Sanative. A nofher rnse— a man that was taken bleeding at the Lungs till he eould not raise himself in lus tied, has been restored to perfect health bv the Sanative. JOHN V. TILBUKGH, P. M. Post Office. Charlotte, N. C. June 15, 1(08. Sir—l have sold all the Sanative and want two package* more immediately. It lias performed a re markable cure of palpitation of the heart, and the in dividual says it is the best medicine, ever offered to the American people—although the Doctors are try ing to put it down H. B WILLIAMS. P. M. Post Office,(North Eaton, Ohio. July 2,1838. Sir—l am entirely out of the Matchless Sanative, and have hourly colis for it—many from a distance ot or JO miles—in which cases people are much disappointed in not being able to obtain it. They seem willing to give any price for it, and I could have soul the past week more than one hundred dollurs it. hod it been on hand. It is truly a gri a medicine. Many in this vicinity are fast recovering trom the consumption by the use” of it. D C WILMOT, P. M. New Haven, Conn. July 24, 1838, • k ar -^* r —The Matchless Sanative sells well and signal success. One ease— a young man, in he last stages of Consumption, given over by his physician, has been taking it only a few weeks and is now able to walk and rideout. Before he took the Sana ive he wws unable to get out of bed and his death was hourly expected. But to the astonishment of his friends he was soon able to leave his bed, and to be out as before stated. Two other similar raws. have recently occurred. D. W DA YEN’PORT. Post Office, Chaplin, Windham Cos.. Con., , „ , July 20, 1838. Sir A most wonderful cure has lately been effect* rd, through the virtues of Dr. Goelick’s Sanative, in the case of an elderly gentleman, who w'as far gone nid wasted away in Consumption, and considered past recovery by his family man. He is now, com paratively speaking, a well man. I saw him myself a few days since, in company with his wife, starting on a journey to the western part of this State. He. ascribes his escape from the very jaws of death, and his recovery to health solely to the astonishing vir tues of tlie Marcluess Sanative. He is a man pos* seasing a snug property, but said he, 4i l would wil lingly pay one thousand dollars fora single iottlc of it, if I could not purchase it for a less price. To hint the Sanative is above all value WALTER GOODELL. P M
