W. L. MiKE.NZiE.— We see it stated in a New York
paper that this notorious outlaw and rebel had been
kidnapped by some |>ersons under the influence of
the British Government inCanada and carried across
the line. If this he true, “farewell, a long farewell,”
to all his hopes of gren* ness and glory,—in this world
at all events.
The Virginia Pnel —There wgx a report in Bn',
timore a few days agothat a duel was to be fought
between two gentlemen attached to the bar of Carroll
county. The Pntriot says that a controversy ofa
strong personal character, had been going on for some
time past in the papers in that eounty, out of which,
as we understand, grew a challenge from WilliamP
Maulsby. Etq. who is the representative of the county
in the State S nate, to James Raymond, Esq. They
met, at Elk Ridge, and had already taken their posts,
when some explanations were had, which were deem
ed satisfactory to both parties, and put a stop to any
further hostile proceedings. The party returned to j
Baltimore, and before seperating some got 11 shot in
the neek,” in the good old fashioned way. We re
commend these gentlemen to the Baltimore Temper
ance Society.
Minister U Holland. —The Presid nt lias appoint
ed Harmanus Bleeker, Esq. of New York. Minister
to Holland. During the late wur with England he
was n highly respectable federal member ofCongress,
and made a famous spcach against the war, which
was circulated far and wide. He was also the reputed
author of the famous address of the federal members
ofCongress denouncing Mr. .Madison and the war.
Besides this, he is a man of ensy fortune, a res
p,suable, old fashioned lawyer and citiz n, who
likes old customs, old law, old hooka, and old wine
—talks Dutch like an angel, and is an old bachelor
to boot.
A Lidy Sims Cci.tviust. —Mrs. A R. Latimer of

New Hampshire.
F CNN! mo nr. Cooper, the novelist, has received

more suits. For the libel perpetrated by Webb, he
will probably recover 81000 or more, equal to a copy

FLORIDA WAR.—The lattest accounts
from Florida represent that the attempts of
Gen. Macomb to treat with the Indians, have
proved entirely abortive, and that they refuse
to form any treaty, but make use of the lan
guage“let us alone and we will not molest you.”
The Pensacola Gazette has the following
paragraph:
“The Seminole War. —No hopes seem to be
any longer entertained that the embassy of
General Macomb to the Scminolcs will end in
any thing beneficial. Liut. Rennolds, who
passed through this place last week on his
way from Tampa Bay brings intelligence that
the Chief on whose good offices General Ma
comb, chiefly relied, has not only refused to
treat, but has betaken himself and all his peo
ple to the woods. The truth is, they consid
er the whites to have been badly whipped, and
it is nearly time that we should take the same
view of the matter. The language they now
use is, ‘ Let us alone and we will not molest
yon—remain at your post or your homes,
and we will not attack you—but if you make
war on us, we will fight as long as our ammu
nition lasts, and when this is gone we will take
to the bow and arrow.’ ”
The idea expressed above that we are whip
ped, will not be acknowledged ; but we think
it will be acceded that we have got the “worst
of the battle.”
Our case is like Bill F’s. Bill came home
from school one day with his eye blacked, his
nose skinned, his lip cut, and two teeth knock
ed out. He was asked by his father what had
happened to him. He answered that he had
been fighting with Ben G, Did he lick you ?
| inquired his father. “No said Bill; “but
1 1 was glad when he quit.”
I We guess Uncle Sam would be glad if the
Indians would quit.
Removal, unconditional removal, is the only
surety of peace. For 5,000,000 acres of fine
land our government agreed to pay the Sem
inolcs 295,000 dollars, by installments, and
give them a narrow strip of land on the Can
adian river, far beyond the Arkansas, valued at
400,000 dollars more j which together making
098.000 dollars, is “munificent provision” for
ceded land which would this day sell for six I
millions of dollars! The prolongation and
i disgrace,expense and eonductoflhis war is the J
J curse of heaven upon the unrighteous. Nego- !
! nation must close its horrors, and upon terms
I (whatever may be said to the contrary) humi
j hating to ourselves.

SILK.—We were shown a few days ago,
several beautiful specimensof silk, the product
of the present season, raised by several gentle-
I men in Darien, and Us vicinity. We are truly
gratified to see the experiments in this new and
interesting branch of industry, thus actively
engaging the attention of our citizens—espe
cially the ladies, —and to learn that while they
neither “toil nor spin,” some portion of iheir
attention is turned to foster and mature these
experiments, upon those that both “toil and
spin.”
The public confidence seems indeed to in
crease in this new branch of business, it is ve
ry evident that the rage for the Morus Multi
caulis would have soon expended itself, unless
its cultivation had connected with the raising
of silk. The multiplication of the tree during
the present season, will he very considerable.
Raising the mulberry and feeding the silk
worm ure already familiar to many, and of
easy accomplishment by all. The products of j
cocoons has in fact been a matter of amuse- ■
meat, if not a profit occasionally and on a small 1
scale, since before the Revolution ; but hith
erto, insuperable difficulties have appeared to j
stand in the way of pushing it to the extent of j
making it a national staple. The chief itnped
iments have consisted in the time and labor re- i
quired to grow and gather food for the worm,
and in the absence of suitable labor saving ma
chinery for working,up the beautiful product
of its brief labors. True it is, that most excel
lent silk has been made from worms fed on
the white, and on our indigeneous A/ulberry
trees ; but these were of such slow growth, as
to discourage the steam bout locomotive go
ahead genius of our people, especially in the
South. This first impediment has been com
pletely removed by the introduction and rapid
growth of the Morus Multicaulis, which springs
with wonderful quickness from birth to maturi
ty, like the insect, for which Providence obvi
ously designed it.
The Richmond Whig has an interesting ar
ticle upon this subject, and concludes by saying:
“The want of machinery to make the cocoons
available—seems now to have been most op
portunely surmounted by another invention of
American ingenuity ; We allude to Gay’s Ma
chincry, which has been exhibited for some
days past in this city. By the turning of a
wheel, which any child can, cocoons are wound
off, and converted at once into the most beau
tiful silk for the needle or loom. All who have
seen it, have been struck with the case, regu- j
larity and result of its operation, and the me
chanical genius of its inventor. A view of the
process appears to have inspired all with the.
same impression, that now we can make our
own silk and that we must no longer pay a tax
of twenty millions for a commodity which eve
ry circumstance and facility invites us to make
for ourselves.”
We lately visited the cocoonery of Mr. Te
beau of Savannah, who has quite largely enter
ed into the rearing of the worm. He had ma
ny thousands busily engaged in their natural
calling. We learn that his worms are superi
or to any at present in the Southern Country.
They are of the genuine two crop whitekind.
and produce a cocoon larger and heavier than
; any other worm we have yet seen.

The Cotton Trade. No. IV.
; Ma. Editor :
The completion of the road, from the Oca
mulgee to the Flint rivera, would add to the
commerce of Darien more than four fold, if
we use properefTorts to secure it. Although
the interest of the merchant would be greatly
and most beneficially effected by it, and they
should take an active and prominent lead in
procuring its construction ; the planter would
do well to appropriate as much of his means to
1 that particular object, ns he could conveniently
withdraw from his present persuits.
To the grower of rice, anew market would
’ be opened for his produce, far beyond the abil
ity of this river to supply. The price of rice
in Mobile and New Orleans, is generally one
dollar in the hundred more than in Charleston:
and front these cities do the inhabitants of Ala
buttia, Tennessee, and the States West and
North of them, receive their supplies. The
demand for litis article of food, has been an
nually increasing in the West, and will eontiu
uato increase with every additional means
created for its transportation. In no part of
the world could you look with 90 much cer
tainty for an increased demand for rice, as in
the South Western States. A large portion of
their citizens have emigrated from rice grow
ing States, who, from childhood, have been in
the habit ofusing rice as a necessary article of
food, and feel the want of it ns an inconveni
ence to be removed as early ns possible. They
already understand the various methods, and
the facility with which it can ho prepared for
the table. In no other part of the world can a
new demand be created for it, without cultiva
ting in the consumer a taste for, and teaching
him how to prepare it; and then you could only
hope to introduce it as a luxury, and not an ar
ticle of daily food. You now have to seek a
market in Savannah, and Charleston, but when
the road we are particularly interested in shall
be completed, your relative positions will be
changed. You will be nearer the consumer
than any other grower of rice, and will be able
to supply their demand, at less expense and
with greater profit to yourselves, than they
could be supplied front any other river. You
will thus be creating a market at your doors,
V/bich will materially increase the net profit of
your labours. With the increase of merchan
dise brought to ourcily from ffb r ord, will the
demand for the produce of our county increase.
And the grower of cotton, as well as the pro
ducer in every branch of industry, will find his
profits increased, by the detninution of expen
ses in reaching a market. And os the demand
for your produce, must be supported by sup
plies for your wants, your annual expenses
will be deminished, by having the articles you
need furnished you at home.
A few years past, it was at all times a serious
undertaking to visit our river, from any of the
neighbouring States; and no inducement was
held out to the capitalist, who desired an in
vestment in lands, except the fertility of the
soil, and favorable localities. To make un es
tablishment on this river, it was nccessury for
the person to abandon his former residence,
and break up the ties of early associations.-
These are formidable difficulties to encounter,
and materially deminished the value of your
lands. As yet they ure but partially removed.
For six months in the yeartWe teldfcrn see the
face of a traveller, and should otic conic a
mong us ut that period of the yeur, unless he
brought with him his own means of convey
ance, he will find a serious difficulty in prose
| cuting his journey further. Until greater and
| continued facilities for travelling are created,
I you must submit to heavy losses, when ever a
I change in the investment of your capital shall
1 be desired.
The interests of the planter, are more muteri
ally affected by the permanent improvements
in the State, than that of any other class of cit
izens. He is bound to her territotry, and his
estate is a part of her being. The laborer, the
mechanic, the merchant, and the prefessional
character, are interest- and in the products of the
earth, when they are brought to maturity ; but
their interest can be severed from the Slat ?,w ith
little less facility, than the grain can be severed
from the soil that produces it. Every improve
ment made for travel, or the trasportation of
merchandize and produce, gives additional val
ue to the estate of the agriculturalist; by bring
ing him nearer the consumer of his produce,
and to the supplies he needs. Every improve
ment in the State, is so much wealth added to
the State. If it be the work of the State, the pro
fits arising from it, will to that amount demin
i ish the taxes on land and labour. If it be the
! effect of individual enterprise, it is the addition
of so much capital, subject to share with the
planter, in supplying the revenues of the State.
There are various roads going on in this and
the adjoining States, but there is not one, the
benefits of which will be felt more generally by
! the public, or will more certainly yield an an
ual interest to the stockholders, than the road
from the Flint, to the Ocmulgee rivers. A
writer in the Charleston Courier of the 28th
May, states the cost of shipping cotton from
Montgomery to Charleston by the way of Mo
bile, at $3,90 per bale. We doubt if this has
ever been done. We know it cannot be done
with profit to the carrier. In our second num
ber, we stated the expense of sending a bale of
cotton, from Montgomery, and placing it on
board a ship below Mobile, (the highest point
up the river, at which a ship can be loaded)
under favorable circumstances, at $3,15. This
statement was taken from business that had
been done on that river, for a succession of
years, and the average made as favourable a .
possible for the shipper. In stating the expen
ses of transporting a bale of cotton from Mon
gomery to the Ocmulgee, by rail road, we took
: the present charge of the Charleston and Ham
burg rail road, as stated by a writer in the
Charleston Courier, and added to it more than
165 percent. We presume that the stockhol
ders of the Charleston and Hamburg road, do
net carry freight upon their road for the mere
pleasure of the thing, and without the hope of
reward. But should the road from Mo ngom
cry save nothing in tho expense of transporting
cotton to a market, it will save much time and
give certainty to the transaction. The mer
chants in Columbus, and other Interior towns,
have now frequently to submit to heavy losses,
in the delay they encounter, in shipping their
cotton and receiving their goods. It is not an
unfrequent occurrence, that the notes of the
merchants in Columbus, with which their
goods are purchased become due before their
goods are received. For the last two years
much of the cotton received in Columbus, has
been waggoned to the Ocmulgee j and goods
have been received in Darien, to be shipped to
Macon and waggoned from there to merchants
in Alabama. A. 11.
