14 I find what I haJ not heretofore supposed, al
though I had experimented for several years upon

worm giving two crops, and am therefore precipi

to feed several millions ol worm*, I have prepared
a house 100 feet by 20, with 7 ranges nf feeding
boxes, capable in two crops, to toned one million of
worm*. I shall have another house, (long since
. built,) 100 feet by 30, prepared with 10 range* of
fuelling boxes, and capable of breeding two millions
of worms by next spring; so that without somo ac
cident, if I live, I shall in the year 1840, produce
1000 lbs. of raw silk, probably more than any other
muo in America can produce, from his own mulber

The Editor of the Georgian thinks the Sub-Tree*
•ury is rocommondod to tho consideration of alt
parties by its simplicity—because every body can
understand it. Let us make a few logical deduc
tions (Vum these mml roiuurknbto premises.
Tho Government of Russia is the simplest in the
world.
Allpooplocan understand simple governments.
Tlieroforo every body ought to ndvocato them.
Tho Government of tlio United States is tho must
complicated that hus ever existed on the earth.—
Complicated governments are hard to understand
by the common peo.do. Therefore, complicated
governments ought to be repudiated by all people,
especially democrats.
There ure some things now in which your simpli*
city becomes indeed a roctiimnendutioii. For in-,
stanco, if ono is about to lio executed, tlio gulli'ino
is an exceedingly simple opuuitiou. It is decidedly
preferable to liungingt it puts one out of misery
quicker. The Sub-Treasury is recommended pre
cisely by tho same qualities, It takes our money
qidckor! Thoro is no stand and deliver, nnd risk
ing otlr lifo by snapping of firearms at one’s weas-
nnd, but it Is over directly J the money and tlio Sub-
Trensuiy nil gono together, and no more to he said
about it.
Lynch Law is much preferable too, to tlio musty
old formalities of-Black stone, my Lord Coko, Liv.
iugston or Kent, on account of its simplicity. It
hangs n man und llien tlio matter can bo investigat
ed al leisure.
Tho Sub-Treasury has tlio same recommoiidmion.
A Sub-Treasurer may run nwuy with the money,
like the Postmuster ut Mobile, nnd Levi & Amos
can investigate tuo mutter at their leisure.
The Alien and Sedition laws were exceedingly
simple? it wn* just “off with his head, so much for
Buckingham." A man was brought up for speak -
ing ueatnst the government, in tho twinkling of a
bed post, and fined nnd imprisoned out of hand.
Thoro was none of your complicated nnd tedious

It ought to lie kicked out of tho financial depart

Simplicity, it is very true, is a wonderful ihing;
u column is a very simple element of destruction,
so is n barrel of gun powder—so are lion* nnd tignrs
—und huge precipices, and unfuihomuhlo abyses,
and tumbling torrents, ami storms, nnd thunder,
and lightning; those ore simple, and simplicity is
tho principal element of oil grandeur and sublimity,
but it is an attribute of tlio great Jehovah.
Simplicity too) is n fine thing in writing, and
spenking and acting, and is a principal dement in
nearly all human excellence If it can be attained,
but it is remarkable that tho scionco of government
is an exception; even the *1 ivino Inw giver found it
necessary to temper his universal wisdom to hu
man imperfections, by great simplification of detail.
Surely it is not uocessnry to say miy tiling more on
this simple point.
Ofouu thing beside* iho point under discussion, I
will assure tho worthy editor,ofUie Georgian,thaUie
is under ujgrcut delusion about tlie neutrality and in
difference of the people regarding tho Sub-Treasuiy.

The Piratical Schooner.—-The Charleston
Mercury lakes the following view of the case of the
slaves, now under discussion:
" It is very certain that if they are not Spanish
subject-, they are no subjects at ull of any rt-c -gni-
z-.-d nution, and may therefore bo punished by nny
people, aspirate*. But they nro dourly Spanish
subjects, as wo understand;lhe cn-e. Too instant
a slave is raid in Cuba, he is recognized by our
Government ns Spanish projieriy. Uur law uguin*i
the slave trade is only applicable to tlio sobjecis of
our lu w—to say otherwise, is lo uffirm tlio monstrous
English doctrine against which wu are now protes
ting, that the municipal law of one nation i< purl ol
the law of nations. It is manifestly tho duty of uur
Government to send buck these negroes to Havuna,
as snuii us it is pruvod lb U tliey were owned there;
mid wu have no more right to inquire what punish
ment tlio Spanish law inflict* for rebellion and mur
iier, th«n we have to interfere generally to reguls'*i

BANK OK THE U. STATES.
The Boston Courier, a Whig paper, and a sup-
porter of a National Bnnk, has beon forced to come
out in the following forcible manner, against the
Post Note scheme. It is highly creditable to that
paper, thus to throw off pnrty trammels, when the
poopie are nbout lo he cajoled :—
Experience it the be it Preacher, hut like that
ofmuny other excellent preachers, her voice is not

several of our rich eapiuHis * lost their thousands
nnd tens of thousand* by purchasing tho Post Nolo*
of tlio Eagle Bank nf New-Haven7 And how many
months will it lw befoin tho Post Notes recently
sold in ibis market, and now hawked about upon
tho Exchange, will bo a* wurlhloss us tlie notes of
that Bank 7 VVo do not a«k the question by way of
caution to the speculators who buy those notes. If
the United Slates Bank should fnil (wo hope the
supposition is nn libel,) nnd the shaving gentry
should loin their money, there would he no groat
waste of sympathy for their loss. But tho public
ought to understand thnt the present seuicity of
munoy is owing, in a grent degree, tn lha sain of
tho Post Notes of the United States Bank in tliis
city, and the ronsequont removal of specie from the
vaults of our own Banks.—Potion Courier, 4th

THE POST NOTE SYSTEM.
Thu operations of the United States Bank are,
wo undnrstnnd, producing u pressure in variuti*
parts of the country. Tlm Delaware G.izctto com*
plains of one of the banks of .Wilmington refusing
regular accommodations to the merchants, and in-
vosllng its funds in the post notes of tho mammoth
Bank. In Baltimore, it is said, munoy uffaii s wore
comparatively easy, till tho Bunk of tho Uniied
States stepped forwaid as a borrower, and by offer
ing from 15 to 18 per cent, purannum, absorbed
ull the spare jcush oftlio capitalists. Tho citizens
of Washington hnvo hud the same lemming offer
made tothem by tho Bunk, nr its agents, the brokers,
and if they have not yielded to tlio temptation, it
lins been (or a reason unnecessary to mention.
Wo gave on Friday an extract from the Journal
of Commerce, showing tlie effect this bank-borrow
ing system, produced in Boston. Tho following,
from tho Evening Post, n-fets to tlio existing sti.to
of feeling in New York:
"Ifihemercliuntsofthiscountrydo not shortly
become reconciled to tlio Independent Treasury
schema, if tliey do not i-omn to regard it ns a nccos-
snry restraint upon those gigantic moneyed institu
tions which tho State L<-gislalnrus are creating, it
will be becausn the losnins uf experience are lost
upon them. We expect for our nurt to hear thorn,
erelong, as loud in pi aim of the must obnoxious
partofthat schema, tlie'specie clause,' as it is
called, as they .ever were hi lavor of a National
Bunk.
ills hardly possible to d-scribe tliouxa.vperation
against tlm Bunk with the lung-iteme, »1m» United
States Bank of Pennsylvania, which now prevails
among tlio mercantile part of our population. Every
body understands and declares that the operations
of which that Bank is the source and centre, are
tlie cause of the present paroxysm of pressure.
Every body sees that it regulates currency and cre
dit, to be sure, but regulates them with a view to its
own profits in the cotton trade, from which, it has
elbowed- every individu d merchant. It regulates
the currency by throwing out a debased issue of
C ost notes; it regulates credit by bestowing it in
irgo proportions upon its favorite customeis. nnd
by compelling the smaller banks, by a run upon
their vaults, to contract their discounts and with
hold tlieir usual accommodations. It a storm of
execration* could blowdownjtbe Bank, nota stone
ofiw wulls would be left upon another.
“ Hard winds, however, havo no effect; the Bnnk
keeps on the even tenor of its wuy; it* maougeis,
to use the simile wliich ono uf it* friends once ap
plied to its former presidin', are n« • culm as u sum
mer morning.’ Nimhor tlie cursing ami swearing of
som/*, nor tho more measured nnd more significant
condemnation of other*, will prevent them Iroin
using their poser in the manner most conducive to
their private interest. If thou* interests require lliqt
some few hundred uf the merchant* in tliis city and
elsewhere should bo ruined, they will horuinodj there
is no alternaiive. Already wu hear of fniSures
which bio indulgrnily • uiio**alcd by tlm creditor*,
in consideration of tho ojnergunoy of tho times, oc
casioned by tlio unexpected measures of tlio Uniied
States Bank.
“ It is time that a «r»t was thrown about this lovia-
han, and tint bis propensity to mischief was re-
slrainad. Let tlie merchants take tlwir choice I*-
tween the capricious tyranny of there great hanks
on the one hand, snd the Independent Treasury '
the specie clause on the other.
