JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SILK SO CIETY", AND RURAL ECONOMIST.—At a Convention which met at Baltimore, on the llthof De cember last, composed of a great number of gentlemen from various parts ot ihe Union, distinguished for their public services, patriotism, and practical intelligence, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted, after lull discussion, in the course of which a great mass of facts and valuable information was elicited. Resolved, That it is the deliberate opinion of this Convention that Silk limy he grown in all the United States, not only for domestic purposes, nut as a valua ble article of commercial export; thereby giving an ac tive employment to American labor, and retaining mil lions of dollars in our country, that nre annually sent out of it lor the purchase of silken goods. Resolved, That a National Silk Journal ought to be established, under the auspices of ihe Executive Com mittee, and all the funds over and above the support of said paper ought to lie devoted to the advancement of the silk cause in the United States. Under the latter tesolution, the subscriber hns been solicited to assume the editorial superintendence of the Journal, to be published liv the Society ; and now, with not the least abatement for that fondness (not to say passion) lor rural life, and all its pursui s, which prompt ed him, eighteen years since, to issue the first number ot the old American Farmer, he is hut too happy tosa luie, once more, his old friends and correspondents, promising to deserve new ones by the most assiduous endeavors, (not incompatible wfitli strict attention to his official duties,) to accelerate the growth and progress of what he is convinced is destined to liccome a great branch us national industry, bringing into active exer cise much of the now unproductive laboring power of the country, giving comfort to the widow and the or phan, by offering them suitable and remunerating em ployment; and making, in the aggregate, a large addi tion to the wealth and prosperity of our beloved Union. Though Silk and every thing connected with its pro duction, and all improvements in machinery for its pre paration and manufacture, will constitute the chief de sign and aim of the Journal, fer the sake of agreeable and useful variety, a considerable portion of its pages will be dedicated to the justly popular and kindred sub jects of agriculture, horticulture, and rural and domes tic economy. Ilcnce the adjunctive title “Ri ral Eco nomist." J S. SKINNER. The Journal of the American Silk Society will he published monthly, in pamphlet form, each number will contain thiriy two pages, printed on new type and hand some paper, with a printed colored cover \H persons friendly to the objects of die Journal, will please collect at once, and transmit, the names and subscription money of those who may feel dispe.sed to patronize it. Terms—Two dollars a year, or six copies for ten dollars, always to he paid before the work is sent. All subscriptions to begin with the first number of the year, nnd in no case will the work be sent to any subscriber longer than it shall have been paid for. All communications to be addressed, post paid, to Gideon B. Smith, Corresponding Secretary of the So ciety. All editors of papers who may desire to see Silk ad ded to the list of American Staples ; and who will have the kindness to give this prospectus a few insertions, will be entitled to a ropy of the Journal. Baltimore, Jan. 1939. Prospectus of the CORSAIR, 4 GAZETTE OF LITERATURE, DRAMAT JY 1C NEWS and CRITICISM, FASHION and NOVELTY.—N. P. Willis and T. O. Porter propose to issue, weekly-, in tile city of New York, a paper of the above designation and character. It is their design to present as amttsinga periodical as cun he made from the current wit, humor, and literature of the times, to collect the spirit not only ot English, but of French and German belles letters : to give dramatic criticisms with vigilant impartiality and care: in short, to picture the age in its literature and fashion, its eccentricities and amusements. As the practical law of copy right secures to them, free of expense, the labors of Bulwer and B iz, Scribe and Balzac, w ith the whole arm of foreign writers, they cannot al present, (consistently with pocket wisdom so well understood by American publishers) idferanv thing for American productions. Their critical department, however, will be always on the alert for native litera-j ture, and to the best of their ability they w ill keep a running guage of the merits to compatriot authors. They see their way verv clearly without crowding upon the track of nnv weekly periodical, and abstain-; ing from more particular professions, they take leave to assure their friends, that if the harvest of event, wit. genius and poetry, fail not over the world, they can j hardly fail to furnish them with an agreeable paper. Terms.—Five dollars per annum, in advance- Ad dress the Editors, by mail. The CORSAIR will appear early in the month of March next.

Addressed to a Young Mother, on the death of both of her Children, within s short time of each other, at the ages of one and four years. A gentle seraph, from its happy home Far wond'ring on its messages of love, Came to a couch where lay in sweetest sleep, Two infant sisters; each in the other's arms Entwin'd, their rosy checks both touching. She stayed her golden wing, and hung mid air, To gaze upon a sight so purely blest; And, as she look'd, a smile that won them both To dream of angel's hov’ring nigh, forth beam’d Like holy light from her celestial face. Th’ eldest of the beauteous pair was one Meet for a mother’s pride—a father's love. With snowy brow, and wavy auburn hair, Floating like sun-shine all about her head. And cheeks where white and red were softly blent: A bright creation was this lovely child ! Upon its full and blue-veined temple sat Commanding intellect; and in its deep, Dark eyes, burned genius superhuman ; And ever round its mouth there gently played, Like moonlight on a lake, a calm still smile ! Its cherry lips were parted, and it seemed To dream of her its round fond arms entwined ; For oft they moved, and lisped * Dear sister, sister !’ And in her sleep a kiss e’er followed close Each word unconscious, as't was sweetly said. The seraph gazed upon the lovely child, And thought the while that heaven Imd nought so fair. But Time stood by the pillow, hoar and atern, Dropping a grain of sand into its palm. 'Tvvas the fourth spring he had been doing this! Nor rests Time ever from his tireless task. Save Mercy come with Death to interp tse. Til l , by the weight of 'cumulating grains, The victim sinks, decrepid as himself, Into his grave, and ends his years of to;l. * That I had that cherub child in Heaven ! llovv would I love its inlant step to guide, Through all its jasper courts and fields of light, And mark its wonder ! —teach its lips to praise ! And watch its fresh ininJ open, and expand. And glow, as from one glow to another l led it on! and then, to see it burn With love, ns I discour-e to it of God!' Death, coursing by, arrested, as she said. His chariot w heels, and all oliedienf. Set strait his bow, and pierced the fair child’s heart! Instant the change! A glorious form, All radiant with immortality, In vestments snowy white, and glittering; crown, Shining like Hessperus, spread w ings of gold. Rose from the couch, nnd the glad seraph hail’d : The two embraced, speaking with heavenly tongues ; And, wide unfolding then their dazzling plumes, Upward they soared together, ought of sight. »*♦*»* Not long the timp, ere Heaven oped wide its gates Os sapphire, nnd forth a glorious troop Came flying, their swift way bending earthward. Be fire them, pointing out the path, did fly A cherub and a seraph ! Strait they beat Their airy course to where the other lav. Missing its sister, and searching in its dreams For the dear arms that erst enfolded it, Like one rose-leaf within another wrapped ; The cherub stooped, and kissed its infant brow: ‘ Coine, sister, come !’ she softiy whispered ; * come, Ere sin shall stain thee. It is grunted me. That as on earth we loved companions were. So shall we undivided live in heaven.’ The cherub spake; and o’er the babe she cast A crimson veil the angels bore between them. And in all togues, was written there, ‘Through my blood !’ The angelic band struck loud their heavenly harps, And bending o’er the pillow, sweetly sang : * Soul, leave thy clay; Mortal, be free! Come, spirit, away; We wait for thee ! ‘Come mortal, away ! glorious seraph, come ! We wait to bear thy happy spirit home !’ Time heard appall’d, and spread his hoary wings ; Death instant came, and on the infant’s pulse He laid his icy touch, and she became An angel. Loud sound the harps celestial! And swift, with pinions interlaced, and songs That filled the sky with harmony moat sweet, The sister-cherubim nnd seraph bright. By all the glittering host encompassed around, Flew upward, a golden cloud appearing As they soared, and entered into Heaven ! MISCELLANY. ORIGIN OF THE WASHINGTON NAME. We learn, from Mr. Sparks’ new life of Washington, that Herthum was tne original name ofthe Washington family; that the lat ter naive was probably assumed by William de Herthum, between tlie years 1261 and 1274, and that tlie manor was held in the male line till about the year 1400, or one hun dred and thirty years. During this |ieriod the name seems to lr ve been usually written Wessyngton, though it is sometimes found Wessington. In its subsequent changes it was probably written variously at different limes, and by different brunches of tlie fanrily. At tlie Herald’s College, (in tlie “ Visitation Book,” so Mr. Sparks called it) of Northamp tonshire, for the year 1618, I found tlie auto, graphs of Alban Washington nnd Robert Washington. Tliese |>einoim were uncles to John and Lawrence Washington, who emi grated to Virginia. | C. R. HANLEITER, PRINTER. From the New-Orleans Picayune. OUR NEW PLAY.

The following amusing soliloquy of Mr. Lentner Salix, is from that inimitable work “ Charcoal Sketches,” by Joseph C. Neal: The last time Salix was seen in the busy haunts of men, he looked the very incarnation ol gloom and despair. His very coat had gone to retrieve his necessities, and he w ander, ed slowly and abjectly about, relieving the workings of his perturbed spirit, by kicking whatever fell in his way. “ I’m done,” soliloquized he : “ partnership lietwcen me and good nature is this day diss. olved, nnd nil persons indebted will piense set. tie with the undersigned, who is alone author ized. \ es, there’s a good many indebted, and its high time to dissolve, when your partner | has all the goods, and spent all the money. I Once I had a little shop ; ah! vvns’nt it nice! —Plenty of goods and plenty of business. But then comes one troop of fellows, and tl oy wanted tick—l'm so good nutured ; then comes another set of chaps, who did’nt let bashfulness stand in their way a minute ; they sailed a good deal nearer the wind, and wanted to l*orrow money ; I'm so good Matured ; ami more asked me to go their secuiity. These fellows were always very particular friends of mine, and got what they asked for ; but 1 was a very particular friend of theirs, and could’nt get it back. It was one of the good rules that vvo’ut work both ways ; and I some how or other was at tlie wrong end of it—it would’nt work my way tit till. There’s few rules that will barring subtraction and division, and alli gation; our folks alligated against me that 1 Ivvould’t come to no good. All the cypherin' 1 ever could do, made more come to little, and little come to less: and yet as I said afore had a good many assistants too. j “ Business kept pretty fair ; but I was’nt i cured. Because I was good natuied I had to | go with ’em frolicking, tea partying, excursion, ing, and for the same reason, I was always jnppo nted treasury to make the distribution, | when there vvas'nt a cent of surplus revenue in the treasury, hut mv own, it was my job to I pay up all the bills. Yes, it was always Salix, iyou know me”—“Salix, pony up at the bar j and lend us a levy ” “Salix always shells out like a gentlemen.” Oh !to be sure, and 'why not ?—now I’m shelled out myself; first out ol my shop by old venditioni cx/ oaas, at the Slate House—old fu ri fash'us to me di rected. But they did’t direct him soon enough, ;for he only got the fixtures. The goods had gone out on a burst long before 1 bursted. Next, 1 was sliellt and out of my boarding house; and now,” (with a lugubrious glance at Iris shirt and pantaloons) “ I’m nearly shelled out of my clothes. li’s a good thing they can’t easy sliell me out of my skin, or they would, and let me catch my death ot cold. I’m a mere sliell fish—an oyster with the kivers off.” “ But it’s always so—when I was a little boy they coaxed all .ny pennies out of me ; coaxed me to take all the jawings, and all the hidings, and to go into all sorts of scrapes, and precious scrapes thy us‘d to be. I wonder if there is’nt two kinds of people—one kind that’s made to chaw up t’other kind, and t’other kind that’s made to be clmwed up by one kind ?—cat kind of people and mouse kind of people ? I guess there is—l’m very muc!) mouse myself.” “ What I want to know is, what’s to become of me—l’ve spent all I had in getting my eddi cation. Lamin’ they say, is better than houses and lands, I wonder if any body would swap some houses and lands with ine for mine? I’d go it even, and ask no boot. They should have it at prime cost; hut tlie won’t; and I begin to be af aid I’ll have to git married, or list hi the mariners. That’s what most of people do when they have nothing else to do. WOMAN AT THE FIRESIDE.— BV MRS. ELLIS, I have said of English women that they are the liest fireside companions; but lam afraid that my remark must apply to n verv small portion of l lie community at large. The num ber of those who nre wholly destitute of the highest charm belonging to social companion, ship is lamentably great; and these remarks would never have been obtruded upon tho notice of tlie public, if there were not strong symptoms of the number becoininu greater still. Women have the choice of many means of bringing tlieir pimciples into exercise, nnd of obtaining influence, both in their own domes.
