THE SILK CULTURIST.
FttTHE Executive Committee of the Hartford
JL County Silk Society, have commenced a
publication, called the Silk Cultuiist and Far
• mers Manual.
The object of the publication is todissemjnate
a through knowledge of the cultivation of the
Mulberry Tree, in all its varieties—the rearing
of Silk Worms—the production of Cocoons,
and the reeling of Silk, in the most approved
method. The importance of this knowledge
wilt appear from the fact that the nett profits ot
of landdevoted to the culture of Silk, is double,
if not triple, tothat derived from any other crop
which can be put upon it. It is also a fact, that
very moderate farmer can raise several hun
dred dollars worth of silk, without interfering
with his ordinary agricultural operations. But
in order to avail himself of this facility to obtain
.competency and wealth, which our soil and
climate have given him, he must possess him
self of information on the subject—for without
it his attemps will be fruitless. It is, therefore
the object of the Committee to diffuse this in
formation as extensively as possible, and at the
.cheapest rate. The publication will contain a
.complete manual or directory from sowing the
seed to reeling the Silk, together with such
(facts and experiments, as will enable farmers
,to raise Silk, and prepare it for market, without
(further knowledge or assistance. It will also
contain interesting matter on agricultural sub
jects iii general..
Tb’.ims. —TheCulturist will be published in
monthly numbers of Eight Quarto Pages, at
Fifty Cants a year. No subscription will be re
ceived unless paid in advance, and for not less;
than a year.
Subscriptions received by F. G. Comstock,
Sec’y, Hartford, Conn., to whom also, Commu
nications may be addresesd, which if post paid,
will be attended to.
53* Editors who will copy the above, shall
receive the publication for one year.

PROSPECTUS.
OF’THE
GREENVILLE MOUNTAINEER.
THE Subscriber, in assuming the Editorial
duties of the Mountaineer, deems it due
io its present Subscribers, as well as those who
may in future become such, to issue a Prospec
tus, expressive ot the principles which he de
signs to advocate. The Mountaineer has bedn
long and favorably known throughout the State
as the firm and undeviating advocate of repub
lican principles—now professed and acted upon
by the Union Party. Its present Editor will
advocate and maintain to tlifi b#tsr of his
abilities, those principles—firm!}' believing them
to be absolutely necessary to our “preservation
as a Nation, and to the perpetuation of our hap
piness as a people/’ It is not necessary to de
fine what those principles are—lt is believed
that they are generally known ahd understood.
The main tenance of a weekly paper in the
coun:ry is fi difficult and a laborious task. It
will not be deemed exaggeration by those who
are initiated, .tosay, thatnotmore than two thirds
of the money due to such a paper can be col
lected—and it takes time to collect even that.
The proprietor—Mr. Wells—is thankful for
the patronage already extended to him. He
feels gratified that the names of the most talent
ed and influential men of our Party can be seen
on his subscription list. But, as it is the only
Union press in this large and populous section
of country, it is desirable that it should have ah
increased circulation. Wherever the Moun
taineer has been, it has invariably had influ
ence. And it is earnestly requested of the
friends of the Union, in Spartanburg, Pickens.
Laurens, and particularly in Abbeville, to ex
ert themselves in aiding the circulation of the
Truth.
The Proprietor, if assisted inhis generousde
sign, will obtain a new Press, an entirely new
fount of type, and issue the Mountaineer on an
enlarged sheet of the finest paper. This cannot
be done, however, without the renewed exer
tions of the friends of our cause, in the differ
ent sections of the State, in his behalf.
The Mountaineer will be devoted to Political
and Miscellaneous matters, embracing the use
ful, entertaining and instructive. The proceed
ings of Congress will be published in variably—
And the Editor will use every exertion in his
power’to render the paper worthy of the patron
age of the Union Public.
W. L. YANCEY.
TERMS - —The Mountaineer will be publish
ed once a week, on a super-royal sheet and
handsome type, at Three Dollars per annum
in advance, or three dollars ahd fifty cents at the
expiration of six months,—though payment in
advance would be‘greatly preferred. Letters

PUBLISHED AT MACON, GEORG IA,

low state of both the practice
and profits of Agricultlite in the
Southern States, is admitted and deplored
by all, yet adequate remedies and relief
have not been proposed, and are scarcely
hoped for by even the most sanguine Ag
riculturalists. Notwithstanding the great
improvements in practice, and the exam
ples of successful farming that many in
dividuals have exhibited,' it is stiU triie,
that our generaj average products and
ptofits have been long declining*—our
lands are becoming impoverished, and
their prices sinking in valuer Yet these
results have been produced throughout a
region possessing remarkable natqral
advantages and facilities for agricultural
improvement and profit, and which pro
mises the richest rewards'for the invest
ment and judicious employment of farm

and successful effort to improve the con
dition of agriculture and our country?
Or, shall we expect no change, unless to
a worse than our present state?
Thecause of the depression of agri
"culture in the South are many-*—political
and moral, as well as physietll-'-all qf
which deserve thorough investigation,
but which it would be out of place hqre
to enumerate. It is enongh to state that
every existing cause of depression is mul
tiplied in power and effect, by the want
of means for communication and concert
among the members of the agricultural
interest; '• •
It is the object of the Editor, if suffi
ciently aided in the attempt, to endeavor
in some measures to supply this deficien
cy, by establishing an Agricultural Pub
lication suitedlo our situation abd wants,
and which may serve, if properly em
ployed, to exhibit to every fanner, what
ever may be valuable in the practice of
every other in the Southern States.
The Editor is aware ol the peculiar
circumstances of the Editorial depart
ment of an Agricultural Journal—and he
is also sensible that the habits of a
practical cultivator are eveh opposed to
the acquisitions of some of,the qualifica
tions requisite for such an Undertaking,
No individuul however well*qunlified* I
sot his task, can effect much by his own
unaided efforts; yet with the assistance
from others, which the Editor hopes to
obtain, he believes that the Southern
Planter wifi serve as an efficient support
to the agricultural improvement and gen
eral interests of the south. For the pro
motion of these objects through this me
dium, the co-operation of some among the
most able to render service, has been al
ready promised; and every means will be
used to inVite the aid of all who are in
terested in the success of the proposed
plan. If our farmers can be induced to
consider this paper as simply a convenient
organ through which to exchange infor
mation—by means of which any inquiry
may be made, and speedily answered—
and if such interchange of opinions and
experience can be made as freely, and in
the same plain manner that the same per
sons might converse if brought together
—then the most important and beneficial
results of such a publication-will be cer
tain and immediately obtained. The
most enlightened fanner is necessarily
often ignorant of important* facts, in re
gard to which he might be instructed by
others of very inferior attainments or ex
perience: and there is scarcely a single
reflecting cultivator who has not Larned
some fact that is not generally known
and the communication of which would
be valuable to the agricultural communi
ty. It all such miles of information
could be drawn together and preserved,
they alone would add incalculably to the
existing stockof our agricultural knowl
dge.
The Edifor has no personal claim for
aid to the proposed publication, nor does
he ask it, except on the ground, of its
tendency to advance the individual or'
general interest of its patrons. Should j
such considerations iruluce the offer efi
sufficient patronage to insure the useful-'
ness £nd permanency of the publication, 1
arrangements will be made for its contin-l
uance; but the work will not be contin-!
ued, unless in such form and manner as ;
will not be unworthy the coadjutors of
the Editor, and likely to be a full remu
neration for the patronage it may obtain.
The Southern Planter will embrace,
and be Itmited to the following subjects:
1. Original communications of experi
ments, observations and opinions on agri
culture, gardening, and domestic econo
my.
2. Selections from the best periodica],
publications on agriculture, Europeon
- and American, and from such other agri
‘ cultural works as have not been publish
ed in thid country, or are not generally
accessible.
3. Reviews or notices of agricultural
works.
4. The discussion of such objects of
political economy as are connectted
with the preservation and support ofthe
interest of agriculture.
5 Chemistry as connected with agri
culture and with the same limitation,
Botany, Mineralogy, Geology and Natu
ral History.
6. Reports of the- topography, soils,
minerals, peculiar niannuus, and actual
state of agriculture of £very country and
district in the. Southern States from which
such ,information can be obtained.
7- I he consideration of public improve
,ment by roads, railways and canals.
5. Discoveries in science, or the arts,
and occurrences ol other events that are
considered likely to effect the interest of
agriculture.

THE S'tbscriber bugs leave to inform the
public that she occupies the House well
known a*s the Western Hotel, standing on the
cornet formed by the south side of Green-street
and the western side ~f Centre-street. It is
well adapted to the aceuimnodation of day
boarders; and i's retirement from the bustle of
the town renders it favorable to those who wish
to attend the Law anti A’edn-al lectures. She
hopes, therefore, tha’ she will receive a liberal
jiatronege. She will accommodate such tran
sient persons as are of decent deportment, or
such as may be recommended to the Hou*-e by
friends. MARY SAVAGE.
