A Blight cold the mother of consumption. Lot not those complain of being bitten by a reptile they have cherished to maturity in their very bosoms, when they might have crusuhed it in the egg. we call a Blight cold the egg. aud pleurisy inflammation of the lungs, asthma and consumption the venomous reptile, the matter will bo no more than correctly figured. Attend to this in season; evon a slight cold is no small matter; At the first attack, use Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry.

It is sure to cure, and it is tho only remedy you can place perfect con fide nee in. It commences at tho root of the disease, and thoroughly eradicates it. ANOTHER PHYSICIAN'S TESTIMONY. Dear Sir: I could send you a dozen certificates, strong and decisive, of the really sanative effects of your valuable Balsam of WildChorry, within tho past twelve months, under my own supervision and diroctiou. Indeed I know of few persons who have used it, comparatively, but commend it in the strongest terms.

A case of Asthma, the severest I ever saw, to which I was callod a month ago, evinced the superiority of the Balsam, It lasted him six weeks, and tho and suffering was dreadful; he Bat up every night. The gentleman told me to give him something to last him home, (24 miles,) so that he might Bee hia wife and child, and die iu peaco. I ve him one bottle of Balsam, directing him to take teaspoonfull doses when the difficulty of breathing was greatest. Next day I forced his dispondent will, and made him take six bottles of Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry home with him as a present, he having alleged that he had used so much expensive medicine to no profit- Last week Mr. A.

called and express-ed his gratitude to me in the warmest manner; Baid the medicine had saved his lite paid his whole bill, and took six bottles and left my office for home, rejoicing Very respectfully yours, WM. SHAW, M. D. Washington, North Carolina, August 12. Dr.

Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry alway cures Coughs, Colds, Spitting of Blood, Con sumption. Aftor the trial of other remedies, tb-sufforing invalid has to resort to this to get per manent relief. Read tho statement of James C. Williams, mercham: Whitxby Court Housb, Sept. 29ih, 1853.

John D.Park Dear Sir: Some two or three years ago I was taken wiih a very bad cold, was very hoarse and coughed a great deal, aud bo continued to do for two or three months, though paid no attention to my cough, thinking it would cease alter a while, as is usual with a cold, though ultimately I commenced coughing up blood very freely, and a continued anxiety to cough. I thon got a bottle of Dr. Jane's Expectorant, and it done me no good as I could discover. I wai advised by my physician to try Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry." I got a bottle, and strange to tell, but true, before I had used the first bottle full, my cough was entirely relieved, aud has not since returned.

I believe that invalids will receive much greater benefits from it than from other remedies. I remain your friend, JAMES C. WILLIAMS. $1 per bottle, or six bottlos for 5. Sold by JOHN D.

Wheel Arms, Bucket Planks, Wagon and Lathing, constantly on hand and for sale. I or Tho following, which wo copy from the Cincinnati Gazette of Monday, will bIiow to what lengths unprincipled men will somotimes go in order to carry out their wicked purposes. Wo are glad to know that despite the malice of the ''Typographical Union," our Cincinnati contemporaries are getting along tolerably well, and in a few days more Fxpectto be agaiu full handed; From the Cincinnati Gazette QSth. Progress of the Strike. By way of keeping our readers advised of the progress of the striking printers, we propose to let them know what these individuals are doing, who have attempted to dictato to us the manner in which we shall regulate our establishment.

Our readers will remember, however, that wo are not attempting to "run down tho wages of the jour primers," as was meanly insinuated by an obscure newspaper on Saturday morning. We are paying our hands the pricts demanded by the Union, hut wc do so voluntarily and to such persons aa wo please, among whom we do not number the members of the Typographical Union, nor of any other association which attempts to interfere with our business- The firBt stop of the printora on Friday was to carry their assumption of control over the mechanical part ot our business to ita logical result that is, to take charge of the editorial department also. Accordingly, when Mr. Robinson of tho Enquirar on that day sent up to his jour neymen an article on the "stnlto, which contained sentiments that did not met with their approbation, they coolly sent down word that they would not set it up; and they didn't'. Tho situation in which Mr.

Robinaou now finds himself, with a heavy legal advertisement on hand which must appear ou a certain day, compelled him to submit to this indignity, otherwise, we are certain that every man in his office would have been informed that hij services were no longer required- The next movement of the strikers waa not made until the dead hour of the night, and was of a character not at all calculated to enlist the sympathies which, in tbe case of tho obscure newspaper aforesaid, appear to be so vory much excited This movement was the cutting of the rope by which the "fonns" of the newspapers printed in this office are lowered to the press room. By this act the the Columbian newspaper was precipitated trom the fifth or Bixth storv of our budding to our engine room, breaking through the floor of tho press-room on its way, crushing two inch plankB, breaking pieces of timber four inches square, and putting tho lives of several persona in jeopardy. Wo can, by a mere description, give the reader but a vague idea of ihe great force accumulated by this solid mass of metal in its descent from so great a beighth; it require? a sight of the ruins it made to fully appreciate the danger escaped by the persons at work in the press and engine rooms at the tirae. Our engineer had left the Bpot where the "form" fell but a few moments before, otherwise he must have been instantly killed. Our carriers, too, at that hour of tho morning, aro generally ecattered about the establishment, and it was ths merest chance which prevented some of them from losing their lives.

The diabolical wickedness whioh could conceive aud perform an act, almost certain, to re suit in the death or the serious injury of persons who nevercould have injured ihe perpetrator. need not be commented on. It must shock every one, and will forever remain a stigma upon the Union unless its members expose and punish him. If not done by one of themselves. it was undoubtedly doLe by tho procuration of some member, either to gratily the malice, or to further the ends of tho "strikers;" and the com munity will hold them responsible, until they have exculpated themselves by bnogtng the guilty person to punishment.

This they can easily do, if so disposed; whether they are, we shall soon know. Inthe afternoon, the "strikera" met at Fifth Street Market space, formed into a procession, numbering from one hundred and twenty five to one hundred aud fifty, and, with a baud ci music at their hed, marched through the principal streets. They were mainly and exceeding ly well-dressed and good-looking crowd, but if they intended to impress our citizens with the idea that they have been oppressed, and paid scanty wages by their employers, we imagine they have taken a vary untortunate way to accomplish their objecl. We undertake to say that it would be very difficult to get up a procession of equal sizo from any other business, which would look more respectable, or give better signs of the emjoyment of high prosperity. The boys should parade in less costly cloihae if they want to excite public sympathy; aud it would have been well, too, not to have disbanded at a coffeo-house.

One of the object; of the persou who cut the rope who we suspect, ia one ot the 'striking" hands of the Columbian, waa to prevent tha Columbian from appearing on Saturday by knocKiug its form iuto --pi." But this design was happily and most extraordinarily frustrated. Whenever before did a form fall five storiSB without starting a eiegio type? Soou after this cowardly performauco had concluded another began, and the '-striken' undertook to rob our carriers of their papers, or to prevent them, dy violence, troai dtstrtuuutjg thorn. One of the carriers was thrown into tbe canal, others were variously mal-treated, aod many papers were stolen from the doors of our subscribers. This same game way attempted the afternoon with the carriers ot the Atlas. As it has been charged by tho obscure journal to which we have already alluded, that we are ''running dowa workmen's wages," it may, perhaps, be well to say that such is not the fact.

We have usver made any attempt to reduce ihe prices which we have been paying the persona in our employment. That these prices have been satisfactory to them, is shown by the Card of tho "Committee of Vigilance" appointed by the Union, which appeared in two or three pa pera on Saturday. Their Card uaes the following lai guage; That mere may bo no misunderstanding on tne subject, we emphatically declare that the advance in our bill oi prices is vkry slight indeed we uoubt whether in newspaper offices it tvoutd make any material OHANSF. in the amount earned by journeymen." Here is a plain acknowledgment thaS the coui-Bensauon wo have been paying was sufficiently remunerative, and that tho cnJy object the Union had view was to taKo the control oi our establishments iuto their own hnda, leaving to us tho solitary privilogo of paying their wages on Sat. urday afternoon.

But had they any rieht to claim even this "slight" advance? Let us compare toe wages of journeymen printers with those ot other journeymen, and see. Journeymen Watchmakers get seven dollars per week; Cabinet makers average eight or nins dollars, tho very best workmen Making fourteen: Tailore who work by the week get ten dollars, tho best, who work by tho being able, with ths assistance of their wives, to earn but fourteen the most skilful Bookbinders can make little inoro than fourteen dollars per week; but at the old bill ot prices, very poor Printers have been abt to make four teen dollars per week, while the more skilful and steady hrnds could make twenty, or even more, working but ten hours a day. Women are glad to work from one week's end to another, for two or three dollars per week, and will be very glad to do the work journeymen Printers have been doine, for onehalf the prices to. ay have been paid. So far tho "strike" has had but one effect, and that is the preparation on our part to employ females in our office.

Wo have long eutertained the idea that type-setting was peculiarly adapted to women, and have contemplated making arrangements to give them a cfiance to enter on thiB inviting field of labor. But tho time has never appeared propitious, and might not have appeared so for months to come, bad not our action been precipitated by the slrike We are now making our arrangements, and expect to havo thorn completed in a few days, so that we can give females employment at type-setting-In the meantime, our force is gradually increasing, and in a few days we hope to have as many hands aJ work aa we can employ at any rate, we shall onotigh to render us wholly independent of the Union, and thjs we intend to bo ever hereafter. Tbe safe and gonoral antidote against eonow is employment. The leaves that commenced leaving the trees last spring have finally left. Hiram Thurston, a lad aged siiteenyeara, shot himself dead with a pistol, at Buffalo, on Thure day afteruoon- No cause was assigned for the awful act.

The EvsnaviUe Journal states that a coal mine has recently been discovered on the land of G. C. Cannon, ou the Wabash and Erie Canal, about 45 miles above that city. The coal is said to be equal to that of Pittsburgh. The pacer Hero, the fastest in the world, who was reported dead last week, is still alive, and they say, doing well.

Calico is again on the rise at the crossings, The Gas Company of New Orleans purchase tboir coal at thirty-eight cents a barrol, manufacture gas out of it, which they sell at four dollars a hundred feet, and then sell the residue of the coal, in the Bhapo of coke, for seven- 1 ty-five cants a barrel!

It appears that the Railroad gauge war at Erie, has terminated in favor of tbe rowdys, aa opposed to law and reason, and the Railroad companies. The town of Erie proposes to grow rich off the sale of bad bread, thin pieB, poor whiaky and stale coffee, to the Railroad passengers, who will have to change carp twice in nineteen miles.

This number is entirely original, and an edition of one hundred and thirty-five thousand copies is demanded by the increasing popularity of the woik. Two thousand copies aro sold in this city. The paper on The Holy Land," fay Jacob Abbott, ia one of tho most graphic of that gentleman's numerous sketches. It ia devoted to those matters of Christian interest that gather around that anniversary of Christendom which is near at hand. The illustrations are numerous and remarkably fit.

"The Virginian Canaan" id a paper that would be creditable to the genius and humor of "Wash" ington Irving, It is ti account of a tour of observation in a portion of Virginia that has scarcely ever been penetrated even by tho most ad" veuturouB. This region is located in Randolph county, and contains from seven to nine hun dred Erjuare miles. It is almost entirely uninhabited, aud ii not as well known to American readers sb Arabia Pctrse. The paper in Harper refers to an expedition into this region, under-takeu by a party of fishermen and huntora, in 1850, and the accounts of that given by the worthy explorers Btimulated a now attempt in 1851. To this latter, the history in Harper is devoted, and its incidents almost rival those of Knickerbocker's History.

Tho illustrations, twenty in number, are a story iu themselves, and equal in humor anything that Darley ever imagined. We had rather learn the features of this ''Virginian Canaan" by reading the hunting and fiabing scenes portrayed in Harper, than by fishing or hunting about Cheat river. Virginia was great a few years ago on land warrants; why does she not parcel out the unexplored regions of Randolph county into land warrants'! "A Pilgrimage to ia an excellent sketch of that famous locality. It is illustrated with nineteen fine engravingt, which make this the best account of Plymouth we have seen. "Sweet hells Jangled," "Four Sights of a Young Man," "Brackley House," are original novelettes of considerabls morit.

A paper oa Mr. Cottle and his friends gives graphic pictures of Coleridge, Wordsworth, Southey, Chae. and Mary Lamb, aud of Cottle's amazing kindnesi. Mr. H.

T. Tuckermancontributes a beautiful tribute to the memory of the Hero of Lake Erie. There is a singular paper in this number, eu- titled "Cock-a-doodle-doo; or, the crowing of the noble cock Bdneventauo." We thoughtfor a considerable period of the time devoted to reading it, that some of the gentlemen engaged in the foreign poultry trade, had discovered a breed that was to kill off "Chitiagongs," "Bra ma Poutras," "Cochin Chinas," "Plymouth RockB," Dorkings," "Hamburge," "Polands," and all the rest, and had sought Harpers large circulation to make known to all English civilization the qualities of the breed, but the tombstone at the end revealed the mystery, and we found, to steal an idea from Waldo Emerson, that the cock Bcneventano was a representative gentleman, and as euch altogether worthy of the space he occupies in Harper. Header, solvo the myBtery of the allegory, bow to teachings, and, yeriiy, great will he your reward. The second instalment of Thackeray's new novel is full of rich promise.

We shall be disappointed if the does not prove to bo Thackeray's greatest work. The "Monthly Record of Current Events," in tiiis number contains a graphic and correct ac count of the exhibition of the Mechanics' Instil tute in this city. We aBure the editor of Harper, that the mechanics of Louisville will see that all for which he hopes in the promises of this first effort shall bo fully realised ia tho future. Tho "Editor's Easy Choir" in Harper, is oc cupied by ouy who never fails to please and instruct in auy department of bdles-letters he selects. There are few better names in American literature, The "'Editor's in this number occupies itself with the subject of "Political Corruption," a fruitful theme, which is handled with ability, and in a philosopnic spirit.

The '-Editor's Drawer' "literary notices," "comicalities," io twelve drawings, and excellent "fashion plates," occupy the remainder of this capital number. As an evidence of the spirit that presides over tuis magazine, we record the fact that over three thousand dollars wero distributed among American writers and artiste for the original matter of this number. The publishers cxpoci to intro ducc a larger portion of original matter into the Imuro volumes of this work than they have introduced heretofore; but this enlargement of the original matter will depend upon the contingency that it shall be the best that can be procured. The object ia to make the magazine a medium for popular reading of matter tnat may be moBt useful, entertainingi acd instructive for the American people. The December number of the magazine can be obtained at the Book Stores of Hagan and Brown How.

Singular Cabe of Robbery. Last Wednesday night, the mother-in-law ofa man named Brown, in Butler, (Fourth Lock,) Pendleton county, was very sick, and like to die; and Doctor L. Carr, an able physician at Flour Creek, was sent for. The old lady waa lying a spasmodic and dying state, aod while the Doc tor waa leaning over tho bed, sympathising with aud holding tho woman in hor dying convulsions, his pocket book containing $84 was taken from him. This ia certainly one of tbe most heartless acts ever recorded, and as to its truth we have it from a source of undeniable recti tude.

the old iady had died, the Doctor went a few hundred yards to the house, of Wm. Barton, and staid tho balance of the night. Id tba morning the pocket book was found by Mr. Barton his own yard, aud when tbe Doctor got up he discovered it in the hands of Mr. Barton's children, and until thon ho had not missed it.

When the maltar waa talked over, tho Doctor went to Esquire TomeUons, got out a search warrant and gave it to constable Ptner to execute; whaiilol and behold $70 was found upon the persons of Brown and hi? wife, tho dead woman's son-in-Jaw and daughter. Tho other 14 was probably spent to prepare for jurying tho old lady. Famine in China, To the horrora of a civil war now devastating China havs been added those of a terrible famine which prevails in some provinces.

It will be rememoered that tha Clayton and Bulwer treaty of 1850 contained a provlalon of tbli character, aa between the United States and Great Britiau, relative to tbe, Nicaragua Canal. 'I be proposed terminations of tbeDerien Canal are Caledonia Bay, on the Atlantic aide, andDarien ibor on tbe Pacific coast.

The route will be south of the Pacific Kallroad. Tha estimated cost of tho work Is wMch it arrived at taking the coot of similar eaterpiizat in Great Brhian the Caledonian ship canal, for example an i doubling the expenditure on account of the conMn Eonctei Incident to a tropical cltmata. The length of the proposed route is forty miles, of which about aeven mile have been already eicavated by nature. Itii sup posed that it may be finished iu fivo years, and that it will yield a dividend of saven percent. The express passenger train whioh left Duuklik on Tuesday night on the arrival of the Cincinnati and Toledo trains from the Veat, broke down ten miles wst of Binghamton on Wednesday morning, about 7 1-2 o'clock.

15th, 1853. Messes. Gall agheb Haldkman: What may not a day biing forth? To-day we aro revelling in joys untold, to-morrow we are cut down like tho epearof grass. This solemn truth was strikingly illustrated inthe death of four of our most valued citizens recently. They wero Benjamin Mudd, Dr.

Henry Black, Hiram CaseoH and Hillary Rapier. As Christian gentlemen they were universally be- loved; aa husbands, kind and affectionate; as neighbors, obliging and civil; aud, as men among men, esteemed for thoir many virtues. Alae! they are no morel The October term of our Circuit Court was lengthy. Mflny cases were disposed of, and many still remainito be disposed of. Litigation ia very prevalent in this county, and some of the best lawyers are always in attendence at the bar here.

It is a fat time for the disciples cf Blackatonei yet I think the 'hone and sinew of the country" will oHnce to a dear tune by the time they are done with law. It is as powerful a laxative to ono's purse-strings as nine boxes of Brandreths Unrivalled Pills would be to torpid bowels. I do believe there aro some bipeds that could no more exist without dabbling in law than the nloss on my new heaver could exist without the frequent applications of a brush. If I had Chapman's Cochin China I should certainly induce the old fellow to crow a bit over "them people1' who think all the big crops, fine 6tock and pretty women aro raised in the "upper counties," but I must content myself by chuckling a little. I do hope that the gentlemen who have horses "a grain better than any one else," and "corn as is corn" will keep hereafter in the shade, or back their judgments.

No one thought proper to acoept the banter I made in my last letter. I suppose the "old counties," like our "old Bourbon," aro just out! Next in importance comes tbe fraternities. The several orders here flourish finely. The O. O.

F. and Masons have each their lodge in this county, also, have the Sons three Divisions, and, perhaps, a larger number of members thin either of the above named societies. The Orientals aro tbrongedl You seo the brotherhood everywhere: inthe green pasture, on the hillsides, down the valley, on the highway, in the village atreets, and, sometimes, when you peep into the mirror! Ahem! nothing personal ia meant. Your years shall wax in length, and your voice shall sound as the bugle horn Anonf I shall give you a laughable scauo connected with this "time-honored" institution. Ever since the Roman Senate was bored by the seven matrons, both males and females have had an undue share of curiosity.

It is an inner ant principle, originating no doubt with that moat ancient of grandmas, mother Eve. From some ono of my maternal or paternal ancestors I have imbibed a degree of it myself, and I have great curiosity to know if a inaa would not do well to form a matrimonial alliance with some one of the tender sex ere time draws hiot towards the turn of life? I am also curious to know if the game of loo is fioe pastime for young Eaculapeas? Ought speculators ia live stock to cherish a tender regard for young rosebuds? Methinks I hear a sweet voice exclaiming, 'so Bmart." Is there much difference between a "canoe" and an old shoe? Which do philoeophers admire moat, the "dwarf rose" or the "mountain pink?" Is it fashicnabJe nowadays for young gentleman to tip-toe to their primers before toey presume to address young ladies? Doubtless it is in "Turkey1 'if nowhere else. If you were attending tu a berry-si, and auy one should be fool-hardy enough to hang himself, would you be to blame? I would say no. Ah, now comes the tug of wai' Inalatenum-ber of the Democrat, I see a communication over the signature of "Mary Bet" giving me particular jessee. From the tone and spiiit of the article 1 am of the opinion that the writer is a he-male, who has ensconced himself under petticoats of his mistress for the purpose at me.

But shoald rny conjectures be wrong, and a woman be really the author, I am willing to compromise with her. As I am "an old bachelor," uot quite thiny yet, and as she must bo a lady ofa fixed age, that hoe would'nt piLCh quite so light it she vvusu I am desirous that wt amalgamate. I think the will find me a heap sweeter man her whole compound of bit ter epithets. Wlitit say you, my dear? A chapter on "domestic organs" just hero may not be amiss, I like those links between conuutial joys and earthly troubles, especially if they are nice, clean-faced specimens of youug humanity; but angels of grace defend me from them when they seek to out-scream the bald eagle ou his eyrie. Not long since I was present when a lady asked an eccentric bachelor why he had never married.

''Oh. I never wanted to marry," replied he. "But, sir, just look at boy, aud tell me ho am a treasurer "1 11 tell you wha. it is, madam, I'll be durned if I am a judge of the article!" -'Ha! ha!" roared we, and away went the woman, Tne farmers are elated with hope expecting 5c foi their pork and 35c per buanel for their corn.

TELEGRAPH. Breach of Promise Case Interesting Decision, A correspondent of the Paducah Pennant writing from Benton, gives the following report of a suit for breach of marriage contract: The Msrehail Circuit Court has just closed its labors after a week of assiduous labor and unremitting toil. The. exciting ease of the Court was that of Mrs. Caroline Cornwell vs.

Ben- shew, for breach of promise of marriage and seduction. The plaintiff was proven to bo a young widow oi good reputation, and thu de fendant hnd been in tho habit of visiting her fre quently for some four years past; that she gave birth to a child last fall; that defendant ceased his attentions some time during the last spring; that he bad on several occasions expressed that ho regarded her as worthy ard good enough tor any man, and on oue ocoaston added that he did notknow that he could get her, and if he oouid it would not suit him, as she had two children, and ho would not marry a woman wiih two children; that ouBeveral occasions whilst ho was visiting her, she expressed to others love and affection for him, and said they were to be mar ried, and that she intended to have him if she could ffet him. I here was some evidence eoing to establish improprieties and immoralities on her part. Ruled by the Court, that tbe atten tions of a single gentleman to a single lady, of a character usually paid by gentlemen addressing a lady on matrimonial subjects, is evidence trom which a promise oi marriage may be interred; that the expression of love and affection and an intention of accepting, and the state ments of an agreeuieut to marry on the pait of piaintm auring inu attention oi ueienaant, is evidence to prove that plaintin bad accepted the propositions, and tnereoy maue the conlract mutual; but could not establish, the promise of de fendant, but such promise must be established by other evidence. That the promise mut heve bpon made within oue year before the bringing of the Buit, and that piaintm must nave onereu to aetenaant before the commencement of the suit, to consummate ths contract.

That if the plaintiff's conduct had been so unchaste or immoral, as to render it improper for a respectable man to marry her, this absolved him, unless he made such promise after ho knew of such conduct, that If he addressed her for the purpose of seduction, and nromised marriage, and after such promise, and seduction and abandonment by defendant, and refusal to consummate the conlract, plaintiff was gui.ry of immoral conduct, such could not defeat her right of action but would go in mitigation of damages. Tnatif he courted aud promised marriago to her, and that she was then a chaste virtuous woman, and he seduced her, and Bhe has not since been guilty of immoral or un chaste conduct with others than the defendant, this Ehopld be taken in aggravation of damages. After'a retirement of two hours the iurv re turned a verdict for plaintifi of ve hundred aod four dollars. otiou in arrest of judgment made; continued for want of time to dispose of it. The cause oieated much feeling and excitement.

LOUISVILLE WE PN EH WAY NOVKiBUER 30, American Silk Fabiics -Dyeing and Weaving. Many cf the citizens of Louuvillu had Uio of seeing, during the late Fair of the Kentucky Mechanics' Institute, samples of American-grown, Amoricaii-made, and American-dyed Silks, tqual to any urticlee cf tho ssme deciiptions imported from Euxope.

And not onlj were these fabrics American they wero Western, in everything but the dyeing, and oven that operation was performed on a portion ot them in the State of Kentucky. As to the larger part of thnm, the worms were from eggs produced in the Ohio Valley these worms were ttieu fad on uiulbe.ry leaves grown in the Ohio Valley the si was reeled from coooons wound by ths worms thus produced thus fed; this silk was then spun here, and woven hero, and ths plain fabrics dyed hero; aud hers they entered into competition with French silks, and sold at a living profit 3 And this operation has been going on regularly for about fifteen years. If it does show that the Silk Culture and Manufacture may be successfully introduced into the Ohio Valley ibimur as a regular and sale branch cf farming, the latter as an extensive and successful department, of manufacturing industry, we should like to know what vvitl bo necessary to establish such afact. That extravagant profits are to be realized in the production of Silk this country, we neither beitevd nor desire. Large profile produce speculative operations, and speculative operations in time ruin any business.

The old Morus speculations had no more to do with th silk business, properly considered, than coruer Jot speculations have to do with the legitimate and Bafe growth of cities. Yot ihey camp'otely turned people's heads, who were at obd hojo bent honestly on the introduction of the TvOrm aad the production of Bilk, and completely ruired ih.tt business in this country, for the time being. Hud people not begun to speculate in tho Mulu-jauiis, it would have been growu only fci tba purpose of feeding siik worms, aud long ere ihw iho growth and maoufacture of silk goods would have beeo a regular, largo, aud profitable branch of productive industry ihe Ohio Valley. With that lesson before us, strong us is our ootjfidenco iu the success of efforts to grew and nmke siliis ia this part of tho Uoiteu and earnestly as we desire to see BUch elicits under wish to hold out no ucuEual inducements he formers ot Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Illinois, and other States, to go iuto this business, k.iuving big figures before their eyes. They wheat uzid it produces one year with no-hsr Et-O, fie en, twenty bushels to the aero, worth geueraiiy at the nearutt market tixty, flCVtinty, ace- eighty cents per bushel, or, at the highedi, sixteen dollars per acre.

Or they plant com, and gather fifty bushels to me acre, worth juht now at ihe neaieat iiuiket ihirty-five cents bushel, or and a half dollars per acre. Or they grow oats, rye, barley, potatoes, and hay, with, about the eama results. And r.eariy iil these crops require a great deal of labor fiidt to break up ground, thcu to plant the seed, men io plow and boe tho growiug acd iu harvest the product weeks, laat, of ivirci urking, aud months of patient waning, oii-eii ij alter ail, ihrougn warm weaijitr in Uir winter, weaitierin the spring, dry woKiiior the early tiuaimer, wet weather a3 iiurrcst approaches, and xmui, ft, rot, or disease, befure the crop ib for tho garner. In MenCo couLty, Kentucky, about ten jears ugo, an entorpnaing farmer planted a lew acres in mulbeiry trees, chiefly the white Italian, procured some eggs of the suk worm, and as the of tne trees grew he hatched theso out and io feed the worm. He made some mis-, taksa at rirrt.

for ho had no teacher, sad was rather dUc'JU raged. But by the third eeasGu he understood all about taking care of the oggs, hatchiug them out, feeding the worm, gathering tns coccocs, reeling the silk, and eeuding it to raarkcir aud now the land he has in the mulberry yieioa him regularly fifty dollars per acre, without any labor of plow or hoe, aod with only about six weeks' attendance to the feeuing of the and the reeling of the siik, ihe whole of which in performed by his wife and children. It takes up hardly any of his own lime, aud does aot in the least interfere with his other crops. His market is here in Kentucky, and she cash is si ways ready for him as toon as hiB raw silk is carried to it. He haano heavy hauling to do at home on account of hiB Bilk crop, pays no freight to get it to market, is not disturbed by wet weather or dry.

hot weather or cold, the early or tho frosts. Ho is satisfied tho business will pay better than any other branch of industry to a small farmer can turn his attention, and that it is one of the easiest and pleasantest of all human puruiia. Ke has mulberry cuttings to sell at reaseniblo prices to any of his neighbors who may wish to purchase them can Bupply silk worm's eggs ia auy number is able to give instructions the whole business ofeilk producing, aud willing to go to any part of tho State, two or three farmers may be willing to add to tho other branches of their domestic industry, and impart to them all the practical knowledge ho poEfaasses himself, without other co rib ration than tho payment of his espouses. Ke does nut advertise, because he has no commercial speculaiiou io view; but he is convinced ihat ths production of silk is altogether pracii-cabie the Ohio Valley, i3 desirous that others try the crop in good faith aB he has done, and authorizes us to furnish Mb cams and address to any one who may wish to test trie matter for him We observe in numbers of the Now York Tribune, in tho series of articles on tho exhibition st the Crjstal Palace, a good deal of spaca givan to statements of the progress of bilk manufacture in the United States. In view of the probability of further attempts in the Ohio Val-'ay to grou) siik, a condensation of some of these statements will posseus much intorest, aud wo shall for a day or two occupy a portion of our space in this manner.

iSThe Ci ncinnati Enquirer, in co jeequence of having on haad a quantity of work, which it was hbaotutely necessary tmouldbe done within a prescibed time, was compelled to yield to the tyranny oi tho "Printers' Union." Not satisfied with resting here, the printers dfetexmia-, sd to pttraue their victory still further, and actually refused to set up an article about the stnke by the edttoii He was again compelled to succumb, and the objectionable article did not appear. This thing of other par-' ties controlling a man's liberty and property is what wa never would submit to, let the conse quences be what they might. noteworthy circumstance in relation to the present condition of the dry goods markets of tho United Statee, is that, while foreign fabrics arc abundant, and prices- low, those of domestic manufacture are in demand at high price. The first is to bo attributed mainly to the immense importations which have flooded the country. The custom house statist of port of New York for tho present year, show a moat extraordinary amount of importation of foreign dry goods, to such an extent, iudoed, as even to 8b-tonish some of the ultra freetrade journals of thatcity.

But to what can we attribute the simultaneous demand for domestic goods, and the increased prices they bring? We may indulge in conjectures, but the dry goods men themselves do cot know how to account for the fact. The proprietors of the Cincinnati Ga-setfe offera reward of 100 for the detection and Conviction of tho person or persons who cut the hoisting rope of their forms, thereby causing loss and endargaring life.
