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 Augusta, Georgia, has raised fifteen pounds of beau tiful cocoons, the produce of this season !

This seems to he the only profitable business of lotc_ The general im pression with the Government Officers is, that Uncle Sam is a Goose, and he who dont feather his nest is considered a fooL Make hay while the sun shines is an old adage. 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!

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. Florida Election. —The Tallahassee Floridian of the 25th instant states that Col, Downing has “ a majority of six hundred and thirty, ttvo votes. The other counties yet to k heard from will increase it to nine or ten hundred. The Constitution is pro bably lost by two hundred majority. The Rev B. Osgood, of Springfield, Mass, has followed to the tomb 1000 of his people; baptised 7 orSOO^andunited over 500 couple in marriage. For the Herald. 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.
