Chilton Allen, of Ken:ucky. states
quantity of Russan hemp purchased
annually for the use of our navy. is shout2000
tons; and that the quantity if Russian hemp
used in the merebant service aunnally is about
11.000 tons, which makes the whole quantity
of foreign hemps supposed to be used. about
13.000 tons lie estimates the average cost at
about $300 per ton, which at that rate. will
anionat to the sum of $3.000.000 00 Thus it
will be seen that the large sum of 3,p900.000
is setit to Russia annually f0i: an article. the use
of which may be superceded by cotton. And
is it no object to the ruts grower and nanu
facture: to establish an additional homs market
which will bring into their pockets this sum
with the cost of manufacturing the raw mate
tial added to it? Nothing, I am sure, but a
reckless contempt for all the admonitions ofr
experience. and a disregasd of the mort inpor
tant truths of political economy can induce the
Southern pianterand mannufacturer to pass by
a fact so vitally affecting their interesti.
I am aware of the didiculties to be encoun

MtB. WISE.
The ruthless attacks of Mr. Adams,
made on every possilelo occasion. have at
length induced Mr. Wise to make a state
maent of his agetncy in the Graves and Cil.
ley duel. We arc trtly glad he can so far
exculpate himself-and see now nothing
to blame hint for but the folly of consent
ing to act as a second, bound by written
instructions whi chdeprived him of all in
dependence. He thus allowed himself to
be a tame and helpless instrument it car
rying out ita turrel. the character and re
stilt of which shocked the moral setse of
the whole conimunity.
Our Watshington Corresiondent, ofter

Wvse.and entatiog that whet the Intor

Crittenlen to confirm the truth of what
he said. thos- gentlemen were found mis

in the House. proceeils to make the follow

Merit, uf this much talked of affair.
In conversation. Mr. Wise has stated
that the challenge was written by Mr. 11.

the death of Clik-y mnas deliberately de.
teritined upon. and that it wits nothing
less tban a tturder. pretnrdttatod iii cold
blmoul. for politucul purposes, and that itA
in.,tigator was Henry Clay. In additiui

repled with an oath "thnt it was a Keu
tmcky quarrel. and shotlil be gone througli
