AUGUSTA.
MORNING, JANUARY 30.
So groat un interest is beginning to lie felt in
this section of our country in relation to the intro
duction and manufacture of silk, that we have
been induced to transfer to our columns, a com
munication of Mr. Danforth to the Committee
on Silk, of the American Institute. The culture
of silk will be of the most incalculable advantages
to the Southern States, by turning a large portion
of I'm capital now invested in raising cotton, into
tha. channel, and thereby diminishing the quan
y of that staple produced, and enhancing its val
•. Those who feel an interest in this business,
ci bar for profit or instruction, will find in the com
munication referred to a condensation of tacts o!
the highest importance.
In our paper of to-day will also be found the i
law passed by our Legislature for the encourage- |
ment of the culture of silk. This itself is a pow- I
•rful inducement to embark in the business.

speech on that occasion is spoken of as a great
effort, worthy of the important interest he repre

postponed; the correspondent of the “Observer,”

were unwilling to encounter the enthusiasm exci.

For the Chronicle 4- Sentinel.
A natural gift of good common sense, the best
properly a man can baic.
Mr. Editor :—Will you give the following
sta ement from the Charleston Mercury, under
date 14th March, 1889, an insertion in the
Chronicle & Sentinel, and let the ten years events
prove the result of those perceptions.
“The Honorable the City Council of Charles
ton having, on application some time since, gran
ted me the use of the City Hall, for a public meet
ing on a suitable day ; that meeting is as yet de
ferred in consequence of circumstances which it
is not necessary here to mention. The object of
this meeting will be, not as is said, to lake the
sense of the citizens only, but also to touch their
purses, for the purpose of reviving the commerce
between tins city, Hamburg and Augusta by wa
ter. The great object of Charleston I presume
must be to secure the trade from the interior of
Houth Carolina, wh-thcr by -team-boats, rail
roads or othcrv i>c.
According to the nature of things, if Charles
ton ever again receives the trade from the interior
of South Carolina and Georgia, it mutt be by wa
fer; all the talk about rail roads to the contrary
notwithstanding : for the Savannah river will rc
r tain its commerce us long as the waters of that
hoble stream runs from the mountains to the
1 Ocean. I care not a jot for speculation ; twenty}
three years experience, together with the proven
fact of the success of all my undertakings, out
weighs all that a fluent tongue and an imagina"
live mind can express, By nature the two cities,
Charleston ami Savannah, arc nearly equal as to
the trade of the Savannah river, and it is the art
of man alone, to give an ascendancy—not by look
> ing at the clouds and wishing lor rain and river—
nor can it be done by applying pen or type to pa
: per; but it must be by constructing suitable boats
for the conveyance of produce and merchandize
' and those boats used with the skill and persever.
' ance of men in all the seasons of the year, and all
’ stages of the river. That Charleston had a great
1 portion ol this trade from the Savannah river for
11 years in succession cannot be denied—for the ex
ports, returns of stock in trade, and assessments
of town lots from 1821 to ’25, proves the fact;
and that she obtained without making rivers, cn.
nals, or rail roads—but it was done by simply
using suitable crafts on the natural channel.
Will it be said Charleston has lost it again 1 She
I possessed it—why did she not keep it ? Will it
I be said that the uncertainty of the river is the
1 cause of it. There is no more uncertainty in the
-ivvr than in the seasons. Will it bn said the
river don’t suit the boats ? This is a mistake, the
boats dou t suit the river ; tor, men knew, or
ought to have known the river and its changes,
before they built their boats. If Charleston has
lost the trade in consequence of the changes in
the river, did Savannah lose it! No! Have
not the citizens of South Carolina the same use
ofthat river that those of Georgia hav I Yes !
Will it be said Savannah gives better prices for
cotton than Charleston 1 Have not Charleston
and Savannah equal rights to foreign ports 1 Vcs 1
To say one city has more capital than the other
is vain ; for money will go where it can be bes 1
employed—a merchant will trade where he can
realise the lies' profit—ships will go where they
'■ can get the best heights. Upon the whole wherc
sover the staple article of the country is, there is
the commerce; that staple will bring the ships,
| and the ships will advance the price—for if a man
commences buying and shipping, he will advance
the market price rather than stop it. In fine, say
i* what you will, Savannah river will retain its
commerce. It is not money—it is not imagina
tion.- —but It IS lilt; BMU aim . r I
boatmen with suitable boats on the Savannah
river, that will cast the die between these two ri
val cities.

A Law Decision.— Chief Justice Parks of
New Hampshire has decided that a payment cf
any kind made in the bills of any bank, after it
has failed, though the fact of its failure may no t
be known at the time to cither of the parties, is
not valid in law. The decision is on the ground
that the receiver of the bills did not receive what
he agreed to take, namely money or its legal rep
resentative, which the bills failed to do on the
failure of the bank.
From the Silk-Onion-.
Silk.
Mr. Uanforlh.by the.followingcominunications,
which came with the silk referred to, and exhibi
ted at the Eleventh Annual Pair, has rendered
his countrymen a timely and a most acceptable
service. 1 housauds are commencing, and hun
dreds of thousands arc contemplating the raising
ol silk. 1 bey are seeking information. They
require to be informed, in few words, how to com
mence and how to proceed, Mr. I), has told them,
practically, all he did, in plain ami simple words,
and the results, which are truly wonderful. They
have only logo and do likewise. He has told all,
from the planting of the mulberry to the comple
tion of the cocoon. 'There arc volumes on silk
that do not aflordhalf the useful information con
tained in this short account. The beginner can
not mistake. , The account is made up of facts,
and nothing but facts. Gan any one doubt that
it is in our power to raise silk to almost any
amount that can be mimed 1 The work is begun.
The enterprise of our country is pressing on the
culture of silk; and the first movement for this
purpose, the supply of the mulberry, is progress
ing on a vast scale, covering our country, and
surpassing any thing ever witnessed. The pro
pagation of the mulberry is like a creation. In a
short period,—two or three years,—millions on
millions have come forth, and every new bud be
comes a tree. Ho who doubts our becoming a
great silk-growing nation, knows nothing of
America. Let it be done in a plain, common
sense way; let it become an appendage of agri
culture; avoid scientific silk growing, by means
of groat establishments, with thermometers and
barometers, taught by large books imported from
foreign countries. There is no more necessity
for them, in growing silk, than there is in raising
chickens; and a great incorporated company,
with hundreds of thousands of dollars of capital
stock, with presidents, directors, secretaries and
treasurers, would be just as likely to succeed in
raising eggs and chickens, as silk-worms and co
coons. Begin in the simple, domestic way. Em
ploy such domestics as have no employ, or those
the least profitably employed. Mr. Danforth, in
a note, desires it may be impressed distinctly on
those socking information, that this was an ex
periment, miide by entire novicesthat the feed
ing was only fur two months and ten days, and
| the crop all produced in four months, Including
| the lime of planting the trees, and that the pro-
I duet was ten hundred and ninety skeins of forty
I yards cacti.
To the Committee on Sim;, American Institute, j
Gentlemen—The vast importance of the silk

public to obtain information respecting it, make it ;

that thus n mass of practical information may be
collected, from which we may go forward with
confidence, and gather in the rich harvest which
is before us.
With these views, and in compliance with the
solicitation of my fellow-citizens, I give you the
result of my experience during the past summer.
I would first premise, that in making a trial of
the silk culture, it was my desire to adopt a mode
which could ho followed by our agriculturists at
large,rather than to show the greatest possible
quantity ot silk that could lie produced from a
given portion o! land. tSueh an experiment,
made under peculiar advantages of soil and cul
ture,yielding a large product, might bo viewed
with admiration, hut the means being beyond the
reach ol the mass of our citizens, the same re
sults could not be attained,
flic field from which the experiment was made,
was situated in East Hartford—the soil, of a lig .it,
sand)’ nature, of a quality termed in thutquurler,
good corn land. It was ploughed about file mid
dle of May, and harrowed and furrowed in the
usual manner. The roots end trees (Moms Mul
licaulis) were now laid down, and covered from
two to four inches, the tops having a slitrht up
ward inclination; they were placed above twelve
inches apart in the row, the rows three and a half
feet apart, having been previously moderately
manured.
After the lielj was planted, a section comprising
otic eighth of an acre was marked oil', to he sub
jected to a more particular experiment. It was
stocked with 780 roots and trees, all of oncyear's
growth, having had their tops partially or wholly
killed by the severity of the past season. One
third were two feet high, one third one foot, stripped
of their limbs, and the remainder were roots with
out tops. Uy tlic Ist of June the new shoots be
gan to show themselves, and liy the Ist of July
they numbered 4,800. and had attained the height
ot twelve to eighteen inches.
A family ot 4,000 worms was now started,
which wound up on the 23d July, having con
sumed 1.31 lbs. leaves. Three other lots, amount
ing in all to 28,000, were now put out at inter
vals of several days, in order to favor the increas
ing growth of the leaves. Hy the 10th of Sept,
the last had finished their labors. Weight of
leaves consumed in Aug., 701 lbs. and in Scut.
333 lbs.
Total weight of leaves gathered, 1,184 )|, H .
Total number of worms fed, 02,000
Producing niije bushels cocoons.
Yielding (so far as reeled) 1 lb. of silk per bushel.
Weight of cocoons, 95 lbs.
W u.stc ailk and Hosp, 1 jj )t
Twenty-seven thousand of the worms were ol
the two crop kind, requiring 4,000 to make a
pound of silk, and consuming 144 lbs. of leaves.
1 lie remaining 5,00i|. were ol the long crop six
weeks worms, 2,500 ol which produced a pound
of SO';, and consumed 90 lbs. leaves. It was my
intention to have led the long crop worms entirely,
as they are known to he much the most productive
of any other kind, but they could not be procured.
Business now calling me away, the feeding was
discontinued, and the trees were immediately re
moved from the ground, having attained an aver
age height, of 4) feet, well-rooted, and with heavy
limbs. J
The produce of the one eighth of an acre, us
above, it appears is 9 bushels cocoons or 9 lbs.
sijk; being at the rate of 72 lbs. per acre, from
Sept. It is easy‘liYsfcllfiAiA AlllS clW* .(’HW MUh
leaves been fed to worms of the six weeks kind,
the yield would have been 13 lbs. of silk, or nearly
—and from the rapidity with which the new leaves
wore developing when the trees were removed, it
is presumed that had they remained during Sep
tember, enough mare might have been added, to
have swelled the product, so as to have made the ’
crop at the rate of 125 lbs. per acre.
During the period of feeding, the safety and
even advantage to the tree of frequent defoliation
was fully proved. The trees from which this ex
periment was made, were stripped of their leaves
four different times, yet at no time were they in
ferior to others that were untouched ; on the con
trary, it was remarked, that where the leaves were
removed, the limbs shot, forth with grealervigor—
care being taken to leave the tender leaves at the
ends of the branches.
The very great advantage of this species of
mulberry over standard trees, was manifest; while
such trees are difficult of success, and from thp.
small size of the leaves, requiring much labor 'to
gather any quantity, it was easy for a child to take
from the Moms Multicaulis 15 to 20 lbs. in an
hour.
The plan of retarding the hatching of the eggs
by keeping them in an ice house, was found per
fectly successful; tlic worms which wound the
finest cocoons were thus kept back until the 3d of
August.
It may he useful to new beginners to know,
that the large six weeks worm, either white or
sulphur colored, is altogether prefcrablcjlo the two
crops; for, not only are they more productive of
silk, but from their superior length of thread, the
rceicr is able to produce silk of better quality, and
witli less labor.
The convenience of a shrub tree, where tlic
farmer wishes to change ins crop, may lie seen
from the fact, that witli tlic use of a plough, the
trees on this section of land, 4,800 in number,
were turned out of the ground in 30 minutes.
An hour more was sufficient to cart them from the
field.
Every one who takes up tlic culture of silk, is
surprised at tlic case and certainty with which it
is produced ; and of tins experiment il may be
observed, that none of the persons who took care
of the trees, gathered (lie leaves, or fed the worms,
had ever seen a tree or silk worm before.
I am not acquainted with the comparative merits
of the Morns Multicaulis, and other kinds of the
mulberry; but large as has been the estimate of
some cultivators, of the produce and value of the
former, I believe its astonishing power of re-pro
ducing foliage, its tenacity of life, and the great
case with which it is multiplied, have never been
overrated. A friend informs me tlint, a field of
roots, deprived of their tops last fall, remained in
the ground during winter, and that from the new
shoots, which started as early as any other vege
tation, he was able to feed from one to two months
earlier than from others planted the following
May. From these collected facts, we may form
an idea of the quantity of leaves, and the eonse-
I quent weight of silk that may he obtained from
the Monts Multicaulis, when it shall have attained
greater age, even in this latitude.
1 am not able to mime the cost of raising silk;
I but an intelligent culturist of my acquaintance,
' from a proof of three successive years, rtites il at
82 per lb. exclusive of the cost of trees .and the
tillage; respecting the latter, I am of opinion the
I labor bestowed on a field of mulberry, need not
. lie more than on a field of Indian com.
It appears, therefore, that nearly all the labor of
| raising silk, viz: plucking the leaves, feeding the
worms, and reeling it into sewings, may be per
formed liy the females of a family, and tints the
product he considered a clear gain, like that of any
other collateral branch of farming. The growing

» planting, worth $5, the pound in raw silk, or
V .1! l en ln se " > ll K |i i what other crop, it may he
naked, ran he named coining near t for profit!
I will only add, gentlemen, that it is cheering
to sec the interest the Amcrienn Institute has ta
ken m this all important subject, and to express
the hope, that the coming Exhibition, from our
silk growers, and the increased patronage of the
Institute, may give to it a fresh interest. Vours
respectfully, ’

President of the Senate.
Assented to, 39th December, IB.'is.
GEORGE R. GILMER, Governor.
From the llallimure American,
Congressional.
In the House of Representatives, on the 31st,
1 petitions were presented from all the New Eng
land states, asking for the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia—far the abolition ol
slavery’ in Florida —for the abolition of the slave
. trade—against the admission of any new slave
state into the Union—for the repeal es the resolu
tions of December, laying abolition memorials
upon the table—against the annexation of Texas
' to the United States, and for various other objects
connected with the abolition movements.
When Mr. Adams rose, he said lie had upon
the floor a large, number of petitions, relating to
the Abolition of slavery. Some of them would
be laid upon the table, under (ho rules of the
House, and others might he referred. Before
presenting tie so petitions, Mr. Adams said it
would he gratifying to him, if the House would
allow him to state his position. He wished to lie
understood by the House and the Country, for he
was not now understood. He had before him he
said, a multitude of letters, all of them from the
•Southern section of the country, mid allot’ them
threatening him with assassination. Whether
hoe letters were intended to threaten or intimi
date him, or to put the threats into execution, or
were intended to quiz him, was a matter of no
importance. Hut it was right that he should be
understood, and lie therefore asked leave to make
a statement.
Objections being made, Mr. Grennel moved to
suspend the rules. The ayes and noes were or
dered, and the motion to sus, end was sustained.
Ayes 117, noes 08.
Mr. Adams expressed himself grateful to the
House for the indulgence granted. In refer.ing
to the letters received by him, he said that they
bore differen post marks, and came from different
sections o. the country. Sonic of them came pro
fessedly from friends, and some of them threaten
ed him with direct assassination, and one of them
challenging him to fight a duel, miming time,
place, weapons, Ac. Mr. Adams said he had no
doubt tlie challenge was a forgery, although it
bore the name, of one known to him. .Mr. Ad
ams further said that, as a question, of privilege,
he had a right to call the attention of the House to
this subject. But he chose not to do so, because,
such a course, would have consumed a great deal
of the time of the House. Mr. Adams then said,
that it was well known, or should he. well known
that he was not for granting the prayer of the Pe
titions. I am, said he. against the prayer, ami if
the question should conic before the House at this
day, I should vote against the Abolition of Slave
ry in the District of Columbia. I have mode this
declaration repeatedly.
If it could he done, continued Mr. Adams, I
would to-monow vote to recede the District of
Columbia to the States of Maryland and Virgin
ia. I would have the Capitol of the Country in
some section where Slavery does not exist. Ido
not think the Constitution of the United States
would allow Ibis, and thereforel shall not propose
it, or vote for it when proposed by others.
I wish, said Mr. Adams, that my views should
he understood upon this point. 1 wish the Ab
olitionists to understand that after reading their
papers anil documents, ami all that has been pub
licly said in favor of the Abolition of (Slavery here,
lam not prepared to vot for it. However, lam
optn to conviction on nil subjects, and not so fix
*jl 111 °P inion “» ‘o be willing to alter
that opinion.
Speaking of another subject, Mr. Adams gait),
1 think it much easier to threaten to murder a man
limn to murder him. Hut history is lull of ex
amples where such threats have been put into
execution. Men excited often do such things,
and no subject is more likely to cause excitement
than the one to which the subject of Abolition
refers.
fcKpeaking of the authors of the letters sen him,
,‘ , ‘■’ nis remarked that, to say that lean face
a bully is saying no more than to place me on a
level wtth all the members of this House. Hut
to say that I am to he intimidated for the course
I have pursued here, is saying a great deal more
than i* (run.
I" excuse for presenting Abolition petitions,
Mr. Adams said, I have on my table 175 petitions,
all of which 1 have received since last petition
day. J hey are all sent and on (mated to my cs
pict,i. care. J hey are most of them accompa
nied with letters earnestly soliciting me to present
them and to take charge of them. Most of these
petitions said Mr. A., are from persons who ne
vci can do mo a favor, who have not a vote to
give me it 1 should ever again he a candidate.—
VV hat can Ido m answer to that trust 1 I have
fell It a duty, and a sacred duly, to meet this trust
by presenting the petitions and leaving them to
the action ofthis House. This is all I have done.
I say this injustice to myself ami in justice to
this House. Ido not wish to incur the odium of
unnecessarily consuming the time ofthis House.
1 have not done so. I shall not do so I think I
do but justice to those who have confided in me
m presenting singly the petitions sent to me from
men who have thus voluntarily confided inline
an important trust.
Mr. Adams then staled a hat were Ids motives
in presenting the resolutions connected with An
drew Stevenson. He vindicated his own motives
ami said, that ho had no other object in view than
the honor of his Country.
Atier concluding his remarks, he presented his
petitions.

The Shreveport Preacher Again.
A I‘iaimT Cai.kii Qrorr.M. —Our readers
may recollect that, some time since, we publish
ed an account of a preacher in the neighborhood
of Shreveport, who, while “ holding forth" under
a tree of a hot Sunday, got so warm that ho could
not stand it any longer, and finished a abort dis
course with “ Hoys it’s too hot to preach, let’s all
go and liquor."
VV e understood,yesterday, that be is now regu
larly ordained, and is a good-hearted, generally
liked joker,—preaches a good sermon, plays a
good game of poker, is an excellent judge of a
horserace, has the best fighting chickens of any
man in those pai ls, and lays a Howie knife across
his Hiblo to keep fit spread open. On a recent
occasion, between the morning and afternoon ser
vice, lie read the following announcement:
“ I am requested to state that immediately af
cr service this evening, there will be a race, just
back of tbu church, two mile heals, for a purse of
5300 —two nags already entered,and some hopes
of another. I trust you will all be there.
“N. H. I’m one of the judges.”
The population of the city of Washington, by
a late estimate, is set down at 23,677, exclusive

A gentleman whose lady bad absconded from
him, cautions (be public against trusting her in
these words: “My wife has eloped from me
without rhyme or reason, ami I desire no one
will trust heron my account, as 1 am not married
to her.”
