CHARLES DOUGHERTY,
or CLARK COUNTY.
1 Virginia Election once more.
The Richmond Enquirer of June 11th contains
a statement of the condition of parties in the Le
gislature in which it reduces the administration
strength, two votes from its former calculation.
The following is its present calculation.
Senate. House. Total.
Van Uurcnites, IS 61 79
Whigs, 11 67 78
Conservatives, 3 3 6
Doubtful, 3 3
The Enquirer is the great leader of the ndmin-
S|| istration in Virginia, and it thus admits that the
IH Whigs and Conservatives have on joint ballot 84,
■ which is a majority of the whole.
The Cotton Circular which we published some
■ days since, is the subject of much remark in the
■ Northern papers. It seems that the United
H States Bank had no agency in the matter.—
9wc publish the following circular from S. V.
MS. Wilder, who is to be the agent in this
of Messrs. Hottcnguer & Co. Bank
||«rs of Paris, Franee.
From the New-York Express.
The Cotton Circular.
8 By the following letter from Mr. Wilder who
ii the agent of the great hankers, Holtengucr &
Co., it appears that the hank of the United .States
has no agancy, directly or indirectly, in the re
•nt Cotton Circular.
*6,/Ac Editors of the Express —
I perceive that the newspapers of this city have
oonnectcd my name and the Bank of the United
SgMtcs with the Cotton circular recently issued in
'ibis city—you will therefore permit me to stale
explicitly
■ That the Bank of the United States has nothing
i||rhatcvcr to do with it, so far as I know or believe.
B That this measure did not emanate from Messrs.
Jr Humphreys & Biddle.
Jr ■ That v ith the view of facilitating the export of
cotton now in this port, I offer to make the ad
vances named in the circular referred to.
That the reasons assigned for making ship
ments to Messrs. Humphreys & Biddle are those
of some of the holders of Colton in this country,
who seek to protect their own interests by a
concert of action.

Wo are requested to state that Mr. Bucking
ham's illness prevented his delivery of his Lec
tures on Palestine, when he was last in Augusta!
his restoration to health will enable him to re
deem his pledge of giving this course in our city
before he leaves the South, provided that the
number of his first audience should be sufficient
to warrant his farther stay among us for that
purpose.
On Monday, (this evening) therefore, he will
give his Introductory Lecture on tho Holy Land,
at the Presbyterian Church, which has been
kindly granted for this purpose, and the moder
ate rate of admission at which the tickets arc
fixed, as will he seen hy the advertisement in our
I#** of to-day, will no doubt ensure a large and
respectable attendance.
Wc take great pleasure in giving place to the
following article from the Athens Banner. Our
readers will excuse us for occasionally devoting
a considerable space in our paper to the subject
of producing silk. Wc have not a doubt that it
is destined at no very distant day, to become an
important staple of Georgia. It can he produced
upon lands which never can produce cotton, and
by hands which can never labor in the cotton
field. Those that arc too young and tender as
well a* those that are too enfeebled by old age to
endure labor in the burning sun to raise cotton,
or the cold of winter to pick it out, can be profita
bly and agreeably employed in raising silk. Wc
feel that wc are doing the country a service in
laying before our readers every thing which can
enlighten them upon the subject, or invite them
to action in promoting this new and important
branch of industry.
The Silk Business.
This interesting brunch of industry is com
manding increased attention, and is destined, wc
confidently believe, to become, at no distant day,
a favorite and profitable pursuits with the people
of the South ; especially of that portion where
the culture of cotton is not the all-absorbing oc
cupation. We almost every day sec notices in
tbe newspapers, of successful! experiments made
season in feeding the worm, and while the
' present large bounty for cocoons is given by the
State, we may expect to sec the business rapidly
increase in extent and importance.
In this neighborhood probably as much has
been done as in any other section in this or the ad
joining States, and the results have been in the
highest degree encouraging. Although no
buildings have been erected especially for cocoon
eriea, nor the most suitable apparatus for feeding;
and although great extra labor has been perform
ed in sending to a distance for leaves, and they,
too, of the common red mulberry, yet a considera
ble quantity of eocoons, of large sine and appa
rent good quality, have been produced. Wo
have Obtained the following list of the amounts
brought to the Magistrates in this place to he
weighed, under the act of the last Legislator® i
and we do not doubt, hut that from fifty to a hu 11 '
dred pounds might he added to the product, n ot
yet brought in or made by those who will no*
apply for the bounty.

Hy another season, a supply of morus multi
caulis may be obtained, and the business will
doubtless be then prosecuted with increased
vigor.
It may be proper to mention here, that many
of the eggs produced this year have hatched out,
and the experiment will be tested, whether two
crops of good silk can be made the same season.
Our country friends who lake any interest in the
subject, and who have the common mulberry on
their farms, can now have an opportunity, by ap
plying to Mr. Hicks, of this place, of obtaining
‘ eggs or worms just hatched, on very favorable
terms. We think they would do well to procure
some and make a trial.
The reader will sec, by referring to our ad
vertising columns, that we propose to publish a
cheap periodical devoted mainly to this subject.
We believe that information is all that is needed
to induce our people to engage in the business,
and this information wc design to offer them.—
The friemfc of the cause are respectfully invited
to lend us tlilyr aid in procuring subscribers.
Holding onV— The Charleston Mercury of
Saturday says, there was not for the past week,
a single bale *f Cotton sold in our market, ex
cept 14 bales at pub lic auction.
A«ow belonging to c<ol- Wolbert, of Philadel
phia, of the “short horn DWham” breed, yielded
last week 194 quarts, or nearly'ieven"garrijtin : dA
milk pet day on the average. Another cow of the
same stock also in possession of Col. W. is said
to be rated at a higher value than any other in
the country, he having lately refused #2500 for
her.
The Richmond Whig may well say—“beat •
this who can,” when it states that “a strawberry (
was gathered from the garden of Mr. Jas. Wins
ton, on Church Hill, measuring upwards of five
inches in circumference. It was the Wilmot Su
perb Strawberry, and said to be the largest ever
raised in Virginia.”
The New York papers state that the President' v
has appointed John L. Stephens, Esq. the cele
brated European traveller, to the diplomatic
agency to Guatemala in place of Mr, Leggett,
deceased. '
For the Chronicle Sentinel.
I was induced on Wednesday last, to pay a
visit to the Hampton Race Couise, to see the op
eration of a machine invented by Mr. Gay, for
reeling silk from the cocoons and twisting it for
sewing, and warp and filling for all the varieties
of manufactured goods, and was surprised and
gratified to find so many persons, especially La
dies present, in spite of the heat of the day.—
The machinery seemed to give universal satis
faction ; for my own part, I was much astonished
at the rapidity and correctness of the work, hav
ing always understood it to be a slow and diffi
cult process, but found to my gratification that the
manufacture of silk by Mr. Gay’s machine is
much more simplc'than that of cotton, he having
simplified the machinery so that it can all be op
erated by children and females. Mr. Gay’s man
ner of reeling on spools from the cocoon is a de
cided improvement on the old principle of reeling
in skeins, for by the Peidmontcse, and other
reels, the silk was first on skeins which had to be
transferred to spools before it could be manufac
tured—whilst by Mr. Gay’s plan of reeling, the
fibres being wound on the spool in one continu
ed thread on an even surface, can be unwound
as easily as a ball of yarn or spool of cotton, it
also saves one complete settof machinery (which
is expensive) for taking the silk from the skein
to the spool, and of course a set of hands to op
erate the machine. Mr. Gay has also an im
provement in spinning, which consists in deliv
ering the silk from the spool to the spindle for
twisting, without the possibility of chaffing the
thread or injuring the gluten, which has been
the grand desideratum so long sought for.

J•'rom Mexico.
A gentleman who left Mexico the 20th May,
and Vera Cruz the Ist June, has informed us
that Tampico was closely invested by Busta
mente’s forces, who were in possession of the
pass into the harbor, and nothing would go in or
out without their consent.
The city of Mexico was perfectly tranquil and
the government was raising troops. A campaign
against Texas was spoken of. But many per
sons doubted if it would be undertaken.
A French frigate and another vessel of the
same nation were anchored at Sacrificios. A
steamboat had departed for Havana a short time
belbfc our informant left Vera Cruz.
The first instalment of the sum stipulated by
treaty has been paid by the Mexicans to the
French.*
] , From the New Orleans hee of the tilth. \
Later from Mexico.
Our Galveston papers of the 7th inst. contain
news from Vera Cruz to the 3d, and from the ci
ty of Mexico to the 28th ult.. received by the
brig Empresario, which arrived at Galveston on
the evening of the 6th instant.
Co!, Bee left Vera Cruz for Havana on the I
29th ult. Padre Muldoon, who had accompa
nied Col. Bee, was seized immediately upon lan
ding and thrust into a dungeon. This act of
atrocious violence was doubtless an ebullition of
Mexican rage, because the Padre had been ap
pointed Bishop of Texas, as a grateful testimo
nial of his humane interposition in behalf of that
republic during the hostilities with Mexico.—
“Santa Anna, says the Galveston Gazette, is
watched with too much jealousy to allow him to
be of service to Texas, were he so disposed.”
In Tampico the Federalists still resist the ef
forts of the Centralists. It is thought the contest
between the two parlies is by no means over.
The government leasts arrogantly enough of the
defeat of Mejia, and declares that it is only ne
cessary to send 12 or 15,000 men to overrun
Texas, in order to eradicate every vestige of in
subordination.
“The Federal prisoners taken under Mexia are
many of them employed in working the streets of
Vera Cruz, and are said to be treated with great
cruelty.
There is not, tt is stated, a single vessel of the
Mexican navy left.
The rumor of another invasion ofTcxas is not
supported by any of the circumstances now exis
ting in Mexico.
The government paper states that the number
of the. Federalists killed and wounded at the over
throw of Mexia is 600.
Gen.Lemus, with 1,700 Federalists is still in
the vicinity of Monclova, and now seems to lie
regarded by the government party, as their most
formidable enemy. He is a brave and skillful
officer, and very much esteemed by his party.
The papers represent that the government is
much straightened in its pecuniary resources by
the. late difficulties, and it is proposed to dismiss
all supernumary officers, curtail the pay of the
balance, stop all pensions, increase the taxes, and
raise forced loans. I nlcss these things be done,
the government paper seems to say the Mexican
nation cannot longer exist.”
V*Bi Cruz, May 29th.
The Vera Cruz Censor, of the 27th ult. con
tains a paragraph stating that Colonel Bee, the
Texian minister, was about to withdraw from
that country in consequence of his not having
been recognised by the Mexican government in
his official capacity. According to the Censor,
colonel Bee expresses his satisfaction at the cour
tesy extended to him by general Guadeloupe
Victoria, the commandant of Vera Cruz.
The preceding intelligence is confirmed by a
r from Col. Bee, dated Sacrifices
29th May, La Gloire, in
which he says, “I leave fort Tie IlaVf?H£_|n the
cteam frigate Phteton at 3 o’clock to-day.
A letter from Matamorasof the 25th ult. says :
“General Canalizo has left for Ft. Fernando,
with 900 men, and with the intention, as is sup
posed, of marching to Tampico, and effecting a
junction with Bustamente. The newsofGcn’l
Mejia’s death occasioned feasts and public rejoi
cings in our city.”— N. O. Bee.
from the New Orleans Louisanaian.
From Tampico.
Information has been received, in this city, by
the schooner Creole, from Tampico, that Gener
al Arista, at the head of 600 infanty (Central
troops) arrived at the Bar of Tampico from Altc
vmira on the night of the 27th ultimo, surprised
and captured in a lew minutes the small party of
Federalists who were stationed there to defend
the place, without losing, or having even a sin
gle man wounded, belonging to his party.
The man-of-war schooner, formerly the old
Independence of Texas, stationed at the Bar,
was captured in fifteen minutes, the major part
of her crew basely deserting the sides of the few
resolute men on board—Jumped overboard, and
made their escape, leaving her two principal offi
cers, (one of whom, a Frenchman, who behaved
nobly,) and seven men, all of whom were wound
ed, to fall into the hands of the enemy.
General Arista had despatched a brig to Vera
Cruz, to obtain eight large pieces of ordonance
and two bomb cannons, with which he intended
to attack the city of Tampico, ami, according to
his expressed determination, carry it without
sacrificing a single man.
Bustamente was at Altemira, and was daily
expected at Tampico.
Col. Dec.
Notwithstanding Col. Bee was not allowed to
proceed to the city of Mexico, he still thinks that
a reconciliation between Texas and Mexico will
be speedily effected. Col. Bee, was treated with
distinguished courtesy by General Victoria, com
mandant of Vera Cruz.— N. O Bee.
Further from Texas.
Our Galveston tiles mention the rumor of an
engagement near Nashville, on the river Brazos,
between captain Bird’s company of rangers,
numbering about 30 men, and a body of Indians,
some 200 strong. The latter were beaten off
with a loss ofthirty-five killed. The whites lost
4 men including captain Bird and his son.— N.
O. Bee.

Our banks pull and haul, the one upon the other
without concert of action, even in Wall street;
and if disunion exists there, where the hanks are
within a hundred yards of each other, what of dis
cord there must be in the 26 States, where banks
arc parted by hundreds of miles ! There continue
to be disorder in the currency, spasmodic contrac
tions, derangement of exchanges, trouble and un
certainty as to the state of the money market.
The city almuiids with unavailable Southwestern
money. No one can calculate what it will cost
him to collect what he sells far from home.
All interests intensely feel the want of that for
the currency, which is so essential to the Govern

capacity of co-operating action—what George
Washington and James Madison ujiproved as

The Exploring Expedition.
Our readers will peruse with interest the follow
ing copy of a letter from Lieut. Charles Wilkes,
commanding the Exploring Expedition to the
South Seas, to the Secretary of the Navy, dated
U. S. Ship Vixcexkes,
Orange lliiiaoH, Terra L)i: Ft too,
February 22, 1839.
Stu: I have the honor to advise you of my
arrival with the squadron at this harbor, all in
good health, on the lUthinst.; this being the ren
dezvous! designated previous to carrying into ef
fect your orders relative to exploring south in the
antarctic circle, and the employment of the scien
tific corps in those regions,
i Since my departure from Rio de Janeiro on the
6th of January, I have had no opportunity of com
municating with you.
Wc had a long, although pleasant passage,
owing to light winds, to Rio Nigro, on the coast
ot Patagonia, where your instruction* carried me.
Other duties have prevented my completing my
report of the observations there; it shall be for
warded, however to you the earliest opportunity,
and will, 1 hope, he satisfactory to you.
We exjrcrienccd some detention at Rio Nigro,
owing to the exposed situated of the open road
stead, and regret to inform you that wc lost four
anchors and cables, one by the Peacock, and three
by the two tenders, all the vessels having been
compelled to get under way and run off during a
gale; the Peacock, Porpoise, and tenders, were
compelled to slip their cables.
On our return the next day the Porpoise re
covered hers, hut the others could not be obtained,
after a diligent search, owing to their buoys hav
ing broken adrift; and, having completed all that
your instructions required of me, I left Rio Nigro
on the 2d of February for this anchorage. On
my track here I passed through the «trait» of La
Mairc, around and within four miles of Cape Horn,
with the squadron in company.
I found the relief here engaged in preparing for
us, agreeably to my instructions to her commander.
Wc have been also since our arrival constantly
engaged in preparing the * cruise to
the antarctic regions. Although lam fully aware
that the attempt is hazardous, and may probably
he unsuccessful, yet advantages may accrue from
it to our future operations in any attempt wc may
hereafter make, and I cannot fi»reg».like opportu
nity which the season yet affords of making the
trial.
I take leave also to enclose herewith the instruc
tions I have given for this cruise, which will give
you full information in regard to our intended
movements,
I shall leave the Vincennes only in this harbor,
safely moored, and proceed with the Porpoise and
tender Sea Gulf, to endeavor to gain a further
knowledge of the extent of Palmer’s land to the
southward and eastward, as there may be less iee
in that vicinity at this late season than at any
other time, the new ioo not having yet formed,
which I (runt will enable me to gain information
for any future attempt.
Previous to leaving Rio de Janeiro 1 was ap
prehensive, as I informed you, that I should he
very late in the season for this duty. I ahull en
deavor to improve our limited time to the best ad
vantage, as will appear in the copies of my in
structions herewith transmitted.
The Vincennes will await my return here as
long as practicable, and, in the event of my deten
tion by ice, she will proceed to Valparaiso, there
to join the other vessels that may not be detained,
wiulk instructions to Cupt. Hudson to carry out as
far as possibl(7previoUs v l ',V-,?_ tl Jiltempt to aid me
on the breaking up of the ice another season.
The Peacock, Porpoise, and tenders,have been
filled up with provisions from the Relief, and are
well supplied with warm clothing, preserved meats,
and antiscorbutics, for any emergency, to make
us comfortable in case of detention,
I take with me the pendulum and other instru
ments, to employ my lime if we should be detained,
which it will be my endeavor to avoid, for I am
fully convinced of the delays and disadvantages
auch a detention will cause to the more important
duties anti operations of tils expedition; yet 1
trust, in the event of such an accident, our time
P will not be misspent or lost.
I have the honor to he sir,
Most respectfully,

From the New Orleans Jlee.
i The disposition of planters to raise their own
breadstuff is a favorable indication for the south.
Experience has shown that it is extremely hurt
i ful for agriculture to he dependent on other states
• for necessary plantation supplies, and should the
I southern planters geucrutliy adopt the practice of
i raising their own corn, nnd'as far as practicable,
I their own meat, an immediate improvement in
the condition of the country would lake place.—
' Uy devoting a portion of the soilito the produc
tion of grains for humo consumption, there
would l>e a necessary diminution in the quantity
of staple produced, which would prevent the
market from lieing glutted ; and the reduced de
’ mand for western produce would cause a redue
i lion in the price of those commodities, the high
prices of which arc now the principal source of
1 embarrassment to the planter. The crop of rot
ton lessened by ibis means would sell for as
much as a larger crop, with an over supplied
market, and all that the planter would aava in
producing corn, would be so much clear gain.
, It has been said, with more truth than would
, strike a supoificial observer, that a country that
, buys all it uses and sells all it raises can never
, grow rich. It argues certainly a great want of
f foresight for a farmer to he dependent on others
t for such necessaries as can be produced upon his
\ plantation.
The idea that a man’s wealth is in proportion
to the quantity of produce sent to market is too
prevalent fallacy. | n rural economy, wealth,
may more justly be said to be, an independence
r of external supply. That planter will attain
; wealth who has least to purchase in conducting
. his affairs. There may be occasional seasons
when the lands devoted to grains, were they cul
f livated in staples would yickl more money than
. ! the grain would cost, but such seasons arc cx
. | reptions to the general rule. Look for instance,
. ! at the cotton planters who have been in the habit
. of growing their own corn, and raising their own
i meat, very-tew of them have been overwhelmed
t by the recent embarrassments, whilst many oth
ers who shipped a proportionate amount of sta
■ pics to market, have been reduced to want.
The immense yield of the cotton crops, would
induce a belief that cotton growing countries aic
• the richest on earth. Such however is not the
i fact. The western farmers who send compara
tively little to market, as a class, are richer than
the. planters, for the reason that whatever they sell
is a clear profit. ’1 he proceeds of a cotton plan
| tation give a very inadequate notion of the profits
1 of a planter; for his supplies may coat him more
than the return ofhis crop—and as these supplies
are continually fluctuating in price, the planter
, I has the risk ofhis ow n crop to encounter ami that
i j also of the western producer.
It would be absurd to say that the .Southern t-ir-
I I mcr cannot raise corn for less money than it rsn
, Is- bought in the west for, and boated to the South,
| and waggoned to the plantation. Resides, the
Western supplies are sometimes short, and the
| grain frequently damaged before it reaches ils
destination. These contingencies and expenses
1 I would tie avoided by growing grain on the plan
‘ ! tutions. Resides, when once the planter begins
to grow his own supplies, it will he found that
other expenses might be saved. It is a symptom
of economy, which, when once it lakes a good
hold on the Southern producer will have a wagiv
1 effect in recuperi'mj his resource*
