Native Silkworms.**--Wh are informed,

of tho native silkworm, of so extraordinary a
size, that a description of them and the fly
that has come out of them i* deemed worthy

as a turkey’s p ggt and resembles that of the
comau n silkworm in other respects, except
in the fibre, which looks like flux. The fly
is very beautiful, and very largo, the size of a
wren. Its nntonnm aro black, legs-and back
red, body striped. It measures between the
extremities of its wings six inches. We
should be glad to obtain the flies for preser
vation ; and if they shall have produced eggs,
a few would be very acceptable.”
It appears by an article in a bite London

than from the fact that his Cither and others
of his family hud suffered from the same dis

We have deemed it our duty to publish
the above, for the purpose of protecting onr
country friends from any speculation which
their fears of the solvency of the institution
may Imve produced. A few days since we

the vaults of the Macon Bank, where we are
assured, “in every instance,” the Bills worn
redeemed with promptitude.
It is not surprising that doubts prevail,
and fears exist, when it is known what n
vast quantity of rumour and speculative

Liberty County.—At this time the uso of
ardent spirits may be said to be entirely done
away with. Five retailers have discontinued
tho sale : two continue it, the former are con
fident that their business in other sales had
much improved. Taylor’s Creek Society has
about (5(1 members,and the VValtliourville Ju

wine is the motto in this county.
Taliaferro County.—The cause is gaining
ground. The Salem Society of 22 members,
is auxiliary to ours. A society has been late
ly formed among the Catholics in this county.
McIntosh County.—Members 1(M), more
than one-eleventh of the white population.
Merchants say tlmt the quantity of foreign
distilled spirits lias diminished from one-third
to one-half. About 39 families have ceased

those who exhort their hearers to subdue the
lusts of the flesh, should advocate the use of
that which makes duty yield to lust, and gives
passion the sway over reason Five persons
liave come to u premature death, and there
is little doubt ardent spirits was the immedi

Another has been condemned for murder,

The clerk of the Court of Ordinary, reports
17 paupers, and states that all but one of
them have been brought to that condition by

FACTS.
Last fall a man wns inhumanly murdered
the Poles at Biala, murched direct upon War
saw, which town is, since the 10th oflast
month, declared in a state of siege : the in
habitants are willing to surrender in conse
quence of nu epidemic which is raging in nud
about the town. The Poles lost nearly 10,-
000 men ; and nt the head-quarters the gen
eral belief is that the war is at an end, ns
another army is coming from Russia into
Podolia.”
This is the latest news from London. It
may be true, although we do not place much
confidence in it. (If one thing, however,
there can be no doubt: The accounts of re
cent Polish succGs.-es—of the great battle,ami
defeat of the Russians on the 15fh of April,
within forty miles of Memo)—of the occupa
tion of,Sii dice by the Poles; and the retreat
of Marshal Diehitsch across the Bug—are nil
gross fictions. The whole tenor of the in
telligence received yesterday, when carefully
examined by dates and maps, showed them to
be such.

na, Portage County, Ohio:
“We understand tliut a new arrival of.Mor-
monites has taken place—some two hundred
men, women and children having lately lan
ded in Geauga county, their holy land, from
New York. It is said, they are au active,
intelligent and enterprising set of people.—
They have commenced a new settlement, in
the Township of Thompson, near the line of
Ashla u!a County, thus extending the holy
land fur'hor east than the limits originally
fixed. They liuv** full faith in the Mormon
.doctrine, having, as they say,worked a mira

Buffalo, by which they sailed several clays
sooner tlmu other vessels.
“ In June they are all to meet, and hold a
kind of Jubilee in this new ‘luud of promise,'
where they are to work divers miracles-—
among others that of raising the dead. It is
said there are soon to be several miraculous
births among them, and the number, it is ex
pected, will materially increase after the gen

In Ireland, ns we mentioned yesterday,
distress and disorders continue to exist to a
great extent. A Cork paper mentions that
the dreadful evil of a war against property
bad forced its wav into that county, and that
northern parts nf it were suffering under
insurrectionary outrage. Several hundreds
of the peasantry collected together near
Doonnss, in the county of Clare, to dig up
the lands ; the military were called in to them,
and in the affray which ensued, thirteen* per
sons were killed and wounded. Some ex
tracts from a letter by the Right Rev. Dr.
Machcll, a Roman Catholic Bishop, to Earl

to go from Russia to Holland, so long as this

There had been no fighting between the

Internal Improvement —Stimulated by
the promising result of the enterprise in South
Carolina, the public spirited citizens of Sa
vannah are ensting about them fur the means
of facilitating their intercourse with the into
rinr. The rime was, when Savannah wn
named Queen o&Southern Cities; and in th-
wealth of her commerce, tho lofty and gen
erous spirit of her citizens, her splendid ch ir-
ities, and noble enterprise, she well deserved
the title. But evil times have fallen on her.
Her wealth has been crippled by the changing
position of nations; und the pitiful, penurious
policy of our own State Legislature, has pre
vented her availing herself of the natural ad
vantages of her position ; and the conse
quence is, she stands nearly isolated from
the rest of the State. Instead of constructing
channels of communication to their own sea

long Inis been troubled with violent stomachic
pains, for which he has hitherto obtained no
relief, und which reiilly are the bane and
torment of his life. Now. if my excellent
neighbor were to send for a physician, and
to consult him respecting this malady, would
it not be very singular language if our doctor
were to say to him, * My good friend, you
surely will not be so rush as to get rid ofthose

Messrs. R.htors—As ihe venerablo dithers
ot our rity (the Board ef Aldermen) meet in
solemn conclave t.o-dny, permit me through
the medium of your print, to suggest to that
honorable body the propriety of its adopting
some plan, by which the good citizens of Sa“
van mil may be enabled to convey to the suf
fering inhabitants of Fayetteville, the eat.
dence of their sympathy and condolence
(Committees have already been appointed in
ottie cities to collect subscriptions for the
relief of her hausrles, poor, and I should re.
grot to see Savannah, who ought to have ta
ken the lead in th s work of humanity, the
last tu follow so good an example. The call
for assistance comes with a peculiar force
upon us, it it is remembered that in the hour
of our adversity, when the same element
which has laid Fayetteville in ashes, had ren-
|| n d our own city desolate, she, ,fl mistake

cheerfu ly stepped forward and extended to
us that char ty, which we have been so lag.

Owing to the place where the meeting was
held, and to the fact that many water cours
es were impassable, fewer delegates were
present than wns expeetpd : many societies,
which were represented in 1839, sent no
delegates nor report. It is hoped that all
will transmit a report to the next meeting in
Milledgeville, und, so fur as they can, answer
the following questions from last year’s pro
ceedings :

2. How many gallons of Spirits were sold
from 1st January, 1830, to 1st January, 18811
and how will that quantity compare with the
quantity sold, sny, in 1825, or '0 1
3. flow many drunkards have been radi

State Society in May, 18281
4. How many families have ceased to use
ardent spirits, except ns a medicine ?
5. How much mure money has your coun

ence and religion, including preaching the
gospel, the education of your children, and
all the benevolent operations of the age!
0. How much more does it pay for spirits
than for taxes!
The report of the Augusta Temperance
Society states, that more than three fourths

these circumstances the citizens of Savannah
have lately projected th«* enterprise of ton-
strutting a Railroad from Savannah, through
Macon, to Columbus. It is a magnificent,
though a bold scheme ; and in tins, it par
takes of the character of its founders. But
although bold, it is fensii le ; money uny ac
complish it. Let a portion of the ten millions
which wo were lately enabled to toss at the
Rank, be applied to this undertaking, and it
cannot tail. We hope our friends of Savan
nah will not let the subject rest where ft is.

Such instances of high-toned morality, ure

of a virtuous community; for they tend to
