Si ii: A* you have been furnished with a copy of the report of the Secretary of the Treasury to our last Congress, on the culti vation ol Silk, it would be uiittcccssniy, in gis in# the result of our limited experience i * rearing the silk worm, to state any thing which is fully und explicitly exhibited in that publication. On my way to New York las>t March, Mr. (iiucon, 1). Smith, of Baltimore, who keeps the best kiixl of silkworm eggs, ,for ?.ile at $5,00 u package, was requested to forward by post a few to Alexandriana, P. O: they came safe; and on the 15th of April they commenced hatching. This was immedi ately after the late frost, which had strip ed vegetation of its verdure, especially the Mulberry yf its leaves and buds: we tried lettuce; thii they refund to feed on. Among a variety of other substitutes to sustain them we found they ted well on the young leave* of the sprout* of Black Haw, the buMt ha ving been cut down the prucccdiitK August; but the best substitutes fur the Mulberry und that on which they fid freely and throve well, wan the leaves of the shrub, generally cultivated in the gardens in this auction, which puts out leave* much earlier than the Mulberry and which had measurably rCHi? ted the frost, known by the name of Snow Ball vuth. We are now trying the experi ments of feeding a few entirely ou these leaves* The early hatching of the eggs, and the situation of vegetation this spring, proves the necessity of keeping the eggs in a cool place and delaying the hatching until all danger of frost is over. The mulberry leaf should be of three or four inches expanse, when first fed; it is then not so watery; con tains more nutriment, of course the worm* are more healthy; nor is it so subject to curl in drying and thus prevent the worms from rising on their fresli food. The weather is then more uniformly temperate?a uniform tempera ture being essentially necessary. After the season enabled us to procure nmlberi y leaves, the worms progt essed in the usual way, thro' their various stage*, until their balls or cocoons were spuns they com menced spinning on the 13th day of May. About this time, through the polite atten tion of the Hon. II. VV. Connor, we received the publication on silk, reported to and pub lished by Congress. We would just remark | here, as to hxing the worms tor spinning I their cocoons, that neither the chesnut leaves nor the liui'dels are equal to the frames, as] described in plate 3 and figure 4of that pub lication, the frame aflTording a freer accession to air, more uniformity as to space, thereby affording better formed cocoons,and les<. dan ger of dupioiih, or two worms woruing in the Kime hall. As soon as the cocoas were perfectly funn ed, say in mx or eight days after the spin ning commenced, we reeled (try, about thre : fourths of t lie silk oil* fifteen cocoon* and laid thciit o:i the table as the rest, to test the dif ference of their cuttkrt out. In the coming out of the moths and laying their eggs, there wns no perceptible difference in the time, vigour, quantity, *>r quality ? f the eggs.? The moth escaped much easier from those reeled; owing to their feet bring impeded in the others by the reiniiinsol floss of the ball; and the cocoon at the opening being more thick and firm, the resistance was greater. S'? far then ?s this experi.nent goes, it proves n saving of three fourths of the outer and best silk, of all cocoons intended to be reserved for eggs; in doing which, dry, th?? crysalit appear* to sustain no injury, nor to tie retarded in its change to the moth or but tcrfty st ?????. On the 9th of June they f*gan to cut out and laid their eggs the day after cut tutgout. Intheii deposftingtheeggsonpajier or cloth every precaution it necessary to pre vent their l>e!ng too. much crowded, or cue <";g I*id measurable covering another , as we * I'fih has fsif?*J hive found til all thow iih m h^th^g, not bd attached above i these ?m . v .. way, should be tcrupcd off and laki away u preventive In tome measure, perhups tUe best method to be adopted, as to their laying, U that represented In plate one and figure Ave. At to preserving rm In this climate through the months of June, July, and Aug. and as a security against hatching, spread' them thinly on plates?Liverpool ware?and suspend them in a celier or oool place. A lower and more cnuituble temperature is preserved by the plate, than cun be on pa* per of cloth: not one of ours on the plato has BIKMl' +f:w v ? .J aL j * sr.coxi) cnop or silk worms. Owing to th" uniform beat and dryness of the weather after the tgn were laid?oo rain haying fallen and tne thermometer ranging in the room from 75 to 8G dcg. at 2 o'clock P. M. and the table on which the flrst eggs were laid standing in a corner of a room, of course not having so tree u circula tion of air over it??lho?e eggs begun 10 hutch on the 23rd of June, being 13 days from the time they were laid. The worms were Im diateiy collected in the usual way, by laying small strips of mulberry leaves on live paper ?those strips of leaves were then placed on the table and the worms fed with fresh Icnvesi and to prevent the farther hatching, the papers on which the eggs were deposit* cd were removed to the cellar and suspend* cd to the joke, hanging between the lights or windows, thus ha vine the acccss of air? there remained until Ave next morning, when they were removed back to the room and those which were hatched collected as on the prececdutg morning, See. for four suc cessivc duytj since which time none have hitched, tne papers remaining stationary in the ctllar. We would here remark as a pe culiarity of the silk worm, that with us at no time have any eggs hatched except fi om five to eight in the morning, nor have any moths come out of the cocoons ac any other hours of the day. At these stages of rearing the riilk worm, a particular and personal atten tion is essential during these hours in the morning, as the success of a present and fu Mro crop dq>cnd*ou it. Our present crop of worms is now from 17 to 21 days old, having passed through three moulting* or changes ot their skinthey are better thriven, more vigorous leed easier, have been more healthy, ami in every res pect so far, promise butier than (Mir spring crop. In number there may be about two thousand; as yet we have i'ound buttwodead ones, and they were diseased, and also three which appealed not to huvc grown any alter the third day aitd were thrown away on the 13th day. Of our fir*t crop, we mu*t have lost at least from 150 to 200; but the latter crop have had greatly the advantage of the former in their tootl, as the worms wcic lost in the early stage of feeding. As to personal observations on feeding the worms, which is the principle difficulty and labor attached to the business our experi ence is loo limiftd to justify in others a de viation from the directinm in the printed pamphlet; however, we have succeeded best in not chopping up the leaven fine?the diffi culty here arise* not so much from the worm being compelled often to feed on the wrong or under side of the leaf, as from the young leaves thus cut up evaporating ail its inois ture immediately, not only to the injury of the health of the insects but by thus imme diately drying it, forma little curls frequent* ly firmly enclosing the worm before the sub ?tnnce of the leaf is eaten} from these curls' of rubbish they cannot all mount on the frekh feed, but must be relieved by the fingers which Is very injurious to them and trouble some to the feeder. As to chopping the leave* ?' presenting more edA?sf?>r the young worms to feed up on," an a principal reason in tlic pamphlet, our young worms of neither crop have ever been disposed to feed on the edge <>f the leaf, but in every instance prefer the upper sur face leaving the cut edge to the la:.t, and have never deviated from thin instinctive impulse until after the fourth moultiu^s; alter which we consider it immaterial whether the leaves he cut or not?common size leave* l>eln^ equally beneficial and mure convenient. We now prefer cutting the leaves in strips of at Ant half un inch hroud; thi* can he done with common whears, or, on a large scalc, in a cutting Im?x, being particular to cut the Iraf at right tingle*: tliui all the fibres will he | cut at right angles and the leaf will be pre vented from curling, and the Mibhtauuo W thus retained in the leaf until it is eaten. Of these j.trips, when cut lay a course nearly touching?keeping the nppc rslde of the leaf, as it grew, up, over those strip* on which the worms vaWected whci' hatching?for the next feed, lay similar strips across these and the worm* will immediately mount on the fresh strip*; and so of the other feedings.? Kvcry fc*eor.d day change tho worms (> a clear place on the table and itni>v.- the rub* blshitlmia convcn'cntly done h/ removing the ftesh slips with the worms on them, so soon as they mount, alwa)s letting those rc main undisturbed on the moulting days, until they have ( hanged their skins keeping a few fresh klips over them to mount and toed upon. In feeding the worms it is essential to u?rt the leaves?leaves of the sani<- sire and ay.e from the same tree arc very different some wru smooth and thin, other* are thick, and rough like plush; it worms are fed with theto In alternate strips of the same laver* they refuse the smooth and will all collect on the thick plush strips, and thus become crowded, much to their injury. Tho plush l**af contains double the nutriment ana will not *o readily harden or emit the smooth leaf, if nted, should he fed separately and more frequently. We wouki In esery of the worm prefer leave* that l?ve I nearly their full slxe, as being more sos end dries; and greatly more cou . pus result we think strongly cor ed from the vigour, hreltliincM nud Increased growth of our present crop ol worms, which have been led on leaves at their full growth* The collecting and preserving the leavee when gathered,Is a matter ol the neat Im portance, as the leavee most not be fed the damp, nor withered or hpurd. Let them be always gathered in the morning? they must not be fblded or squeescdi? to preserve them two or three days ft* for feeding is the difficulty. The di rections are to keep them in earthen jars in cellars; when there Is no cell** nor any jars, we must rcsoffctlpecially in wet weath er, to n substitute} $ very good one, knd one perhaps pr? fciuhle totbeiars is convenient to every man. That wool is the best non conductor wc are acquainted with, is gene rally known; It is also known that a lamp of Ice rolled in a dry blanket, unmeited for miles, perhaps da test climate; and' that a vessel containing water so closely enveloped in a blanket as to excludo the action of the atmosphere, will retain its coolness and sweetness much lon ger than by any other method, so will the mulberry leives, imothly piled and roll ed in a clean blanket and laid In n cool place, retain their freshness longer than in any oth er way wo have tried. If the leaves be gathered very dry, the blanket should be moistened. Our experiment has been on so small a scale and our experience so limited and the difficulties of the early part of the season, owing to the severity of the frost, so increas ed, that wc hazard uo opinion at present, us to either the expedience or profits of the bu siness, on au extended sc-aIc, compared with that of the common production of our farm*. It is probabls that we can supply with eggs those wishing to try the experiment; of this ami our succcss as t<? our present crop of wonns you will oc apprised about the 1st of Sept. when wc hope to furnish you with small specimen* of silk, made from the com mon aihI from the white mulberry, which wo now think will go to shew, that the common mulberry tvlll afford silk o f equal Jibre and rjhitencti a* the white mulberry. Should this be of the Miudlckt benefit to our fcllow-citizcns* 1 shall tcel myself fully ci/mntmated. M. \V. ALKXANDEK. Ahcklenburg, X. C.July 14, 1828. N. li.

Mr. Jrffcraon and the American Tariff. The following it an extract from the ar ticle on the American Tariff, in the num ber of the Kdinhurgh Review, containing the l< '.tcr of Mr. Jcflerson, just publish ed " That tlie present tariff can be allowed to regulato the commerce of America for any very lengthened period, is what we do not believe. It waa curried by extremely narrow majorities both i:> the House of Ke prcsentatives and the Senate) and has ex cited, more especially in the southern states, mi extreme degree of dissatisfaction. Its opponents contend, that in imposing heavy duties, not for the sake of revenue but of pro* tcction, Congress has exceeded ita powers, and violated one of the fundamental princi ples of the constitution. Whether this be really the case it would be presumptuous in us to attempt to decide. Wc may, however, observe, that Mr. Jefferson took this view of the matter; and in n letter to Mr. Giles, written ufter the passing of tho tariff of 1434, has expressed himself very strongly indeed upon the subject: 'Under the power, suid this truly distinguished patriot und statesman, **.o regulate commerce, they (Congress) assume indefinitely that also over agriculture and manufactures; and call it regulation, too, to take the earnings of one of these branches of industry, and that, too, the most depressed, and put them into the pockets of the others the most flourishing of nil.' And after brief ly noticing some of the objectionable proceed ings of Cotigres, Mr. Jefferson adds, 'Are we then to stand at arms.' No! that must he the last resource, not to be thought of until much longer and greater sufferings. If eve ry infraction ot a compact of *o mnnv parties is to be resisted at once as n dissolution, none can ever be formed which would I'ist one year. Wo must have patience and long en durance, then, with our brethren, while un der delusion Give them time for reflection ami experience ot confluences; keep our selves (Virginia and the southern states) in k situation to profit by the chapter of acci dents, aud separate from or.r companions on ly when the sole alternatives left are the dis solution oi our union with them or submission to a government without limitation ot |?ow urs. lift ween these two evils, when we must make choice, there can be no hesitation} but in the mean time the states should be care ful to note every material assumption on their rights, to denounce them as they occur in tlie moit peremptory terms, to protest a gainst them, as wrongs to which our present submission should be considered, not as ac knowledgment or precedent of right, but as tem|H>rary yielding to thu lesser evil, until their accumulation shall outweigh that of ?tp* ration/ - This, if any thing can, Might to make congfcss pause in the hazardous and despe rate career on which H hat entered. Htrong indeed must have Ween the conviction of im policy of the " American Ay stem" that could have induced Mr. Jefferson to declare that a dissolution of that confederation, in the for mation of which he had borne to (lhtioguUh edapart, wouldbaapreferablealternative, to a toleration of the evils that rauit spring from it.

The letter containing this truly important psssaae was not a public ooei it was a confi dential communication to an btimAte friend disclosing the undiseuiaed sentiments of tho writer on a vitally fmnortaat question; nor had Mr. Jefferson the least kMa that It would <?er see the light.
