We admit that os ap plied to bountits, if it was intended that they should be permanent, this reasoning is good and conclusive. Bat as nppli to silk, it fails from a defect in one its promises—viz. that * the culture can only be carried on l»y bounties.* It needs bounties, or some other encouragement, undoubtedly to start—but let it once got fajily started, and it will flourish < without govermental aid, against the competition of the world. Herein then ia the policy of bounties, —to start a business and foster it while it ia nut yet. well understood, and can not be carried on,on equal terms*against foreign competition.

The Natchez Free Trader of a late date says : “ On Saturday we saw a ten dollar gold piece sold for 8100 in Mis sissippi Railroad notes; and on Mon day a common Marseilles vest brought 8100 iu notes of the Missisippi Shipping Company.” This gives us some idea of the condition of the currency iu State of Mississippi, where, we Sumo, it is at its lowest state ofdegruda. tion.
