? Strnjgp as the word at the head of this
u nruokr may appear to eqnli a pla-'e as this,
','7 ' )>fctTe? only-oho that w?i serve as an index
to thesubject of our present remarks. The
ailliiftsinnas is culled a humbug by many of
* Ike eowspapera of the day ; nnd the mulberry
business la nonsiden-d or asserted to
fee the, very prince of humbugs, by m my
people, no well as bv larsro nar.ion of ilie
i -v preea.* tV? <$p no* pretend to be more wise
then our neighbor** in the ordinary business
*s' of life ; but on this single subject we do proit'll
to hevo bestowed mofo attention lltnn
Can poesibly have beondeitotod to it by men
engaged in other pursuits, wnil whoso atten- ,
tion to k con only hnvo ,Mun casual, and
oven thon very brief and mperficial. Wo
therefore assert, that the silk business is no
ktunbeg ; thot tho spoculuiiou, as it is called,
: in tnukicaulis trees, even in its wildes' aspect
iu no humbug ; that tho first will be
tho greatest among the many great blessings
yet conferred upon our happy country, ami
that the second, ** the speculation in mulii*
caulis," i* the very eieaus by which the
certain end speedy fruition ofihiugr'-st bleu- I

culu of the oner wise. ,
It is saiJ that wo have now mow trees
in the county jhan be wanted fur the silk culture,
snd therefore the present trade is a
sheer speculation upon fancy stocks-in olh?r
words, u humbug. Well let us look into
the question. There are about 15,009,000
tiTtrees in the country. Suppose the whole
of these tree* to bo devoted tot He miking of
silk next ywtr.what will be th<? result ? They
will <nuke about 180,000 bushels of co^onus
the first year, which at 93, will b * $r>40.00l)
or 180,009 pounds of raw s Ik which
t $3 will be $800,000, mi 1 this supposing I
every tree w.ll be so employed, und every
oCoon reeled, an J every pound of silk
sold. It will not bo considered unreuvontible
to deduct ono.h?lf of the above
estimate on**-account of the very large
portion of tho trees that were ruis? J
1 ~fw~wa& M&. that will not, under the j
Suppose*! circumstances, be uppropriut'd
to miking silk, even though they ure not
sold at ulL. But to take the proposition h*
it stands without deduction, and wc find
we ahull not have one-twentieth part s>lk
enough to supply our home demand, an J
none tor exportation, (ustcad of $90,000
SL. u-aritJ^J ?iik, we want $20,003.00(1 worth
lor home consumption, and at least the same
amount for exportation, or at least forty.five
times us much ns we cos produce from the
trs -a wo have, even though the business
'^should produce its results with mathematical

quota of silk, without accident, or deduction
. from any cause whatever. But upon tin*
forest calculations and allowances for the
numerous casuulitiea attending all hunt ?n
elf?irs, at least double the uumhor of trees
will be required to produce the above results
one year with another, und consequently
our deficiency or product will be doublet! in
practice and therefore we shall want ninety
times as much ns wo can pruducc with our
present' stock of trees.
? The speculation in multicnulia" as it is
calkid, is the best and only means by which
sufficient supply of trees can be ob a tied
tit the country, for the pro<luc:ion of the
quantity of silk necessary, for homo con.
sumption and exportation. We huve .shown,
to our own satisfaction at least, that th?ceuntry
wants nt least ninety time* as
many bees us wc now prossess. If the
price of trees be reduced, so that there will
be no object in raising litem to sell, (lie silk
business will be confined to a very limited
amount ; for it must be borne in mind that
the siik culture is to be carried on by (lie
poor classes mostly, who have neither land
nor csplta) to raise treps.f Capitalists pro
due* tret#, and the poor classes use them.
If the capitalists abandon the propagation
of trees, their propagation ceas- s j and i
capitalists seo no prospect of profitable re-turns
from their invcstineuts, thev abandon
riw speculation of course. Some of U ?

Dear Sir?I yesterday received your letter
of the 15th inst.
I was it) Now York at the close of the
extra session in 1857, and know ilia: G*>v.
Marcy .was there, and returned soon alt*r.
A few days after his return to Albany, he
told me, at his house, that lie hud return -d
in the hoot with you ; and o then expressed
much gratification at the course pursued
by yourself and the Conservatives in Congross.
He, ut the k imo time, s'rongly nod
openly condemn* d tlio S.ib-Troasiirv
Schema recommended bv Mr. Van Buret),
and express'd his dissatisfaction at the
course of the Washington (ilobe and the
leading Loco Fucos in this .Stat**.
During the extra session and after it, /
had Hov? rul conversations with Gov. IVJarey,
in all of which he cxpresse I the same
views. li s opin oils were frvly nrtde '
known to any of his political friends who j
were near him. I was not then a state officer,
but 1 know that a d.fi'er* rice of opinion :
xia ed between the state officers in ref* r- <
<*nee to the Sub-Treasury Sclr'ine, nod \
Gov. M trey declared to me, that on tli
reception of the sp'-ci tl message he had. in
presence of several of the statu officers,
openly expressed his disapprobation of 'h

Connected with lh'' foregoing remark*,
a re;ruspnet of recent events in Florida will
not Im; inappropriate.
Daring the l ist session of Congress an
appropriation of 95.000 was made Wor the
purpose o( holding n treaty with the Semi,
nole Indians." In vtituu of th:s apptoprmtion,
Gem ml Macomb wus son! to Florida;
and, being the Goneral-in.chief of the Army,
it was thought tli it liis rank would have
more weight and influence with the lud-nns
than a civilian CO-dd have. General Ma
cornli held eo -crencis wi ll some of the
chiefs and foully entered into an ugrrcnient
(the*-" was no written treaty) with
Chitto Ti^tenugg'Stlie acknowledged sue.
cesKor 'f Ar-pLucki, or Sam Jones; ('ho
latter, it in understood, lias never held or
exisi'isc l .any military command.but stands
in the light of n counsellor among his ti ibe.)
One of tun stipulations of this agreement
was t/ie establishment of a trading pus!
near the mouth of Synabel river. The
misiion of Col. II/r.nky to carry into cfleel
thu s ipulatiou, the surprise of his parly, the
mass ere of a por ion. and the escape oftl o
rest, are familiar to all. Sam Jones and
a s tribe were at the time in the vicinity
of Fort Lauderdale, distant about ICO
miles, mwl have not only dcrlied all participation
in, or knowledge of the massacre,
but up to tli ? Ia'e>i advices continue to
manifest a ncu r d d sposition am) an int< nturn
to abide by the agreement made with
U ii ril Macomh.
T'u' approacuing campaign, then, will
partake more of a d fensiv than offensive
chirae.ter, as tt wall l>e routined to driving
il>?' Indians from the s'-t led portions ct"
Florida, where they have committed depredations
almost wi limit cheek. It having
hem found impossih'e to force the Indians M
from their f istnc.-scs, any further attempt
to effect that object would only bo attended
Wit i a needless saer (ice i>f life and money.
