FARMERS' GAZ hi T T 15 . FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1810. The Pee Dee has for some time b en boatuble. Our steamboats now run reguO larly. The present is a suitable ime for those who have engaged Morus Multicaul s cut tings, or wIjo have them on hand o plan . If the weather should continue* warm the buds will soon open, before which they ought to be plant* d. We understand lhatu lew persons in this neighborhood have suffered litems*-Ives to be imposed upon by staterra nts hat northern Morus Multicaulis cubing arc b< tt? r than southern. To any who have bought northcm cuttings under such an impression we offer a few of southern growth without charge, provided they will plant them in the same kind of soil with the northern* give them the same treatment, an J r port 'o us the result next summe$ The speech of Mr. Webster copied into tho proceeding eo'umns vvus delivered a tin' first of a series of agricultural m?e?mgs got up at B oston during the session of the Legislature, by Mr. Coleman, CouiiiiNsoner for Agricultural Surveys. It is an omen for good to the agiicul ure, an I of course to the prosperity, of the co intry tiiat sueh men as Mr. Webster, Mr. C lyunl Gen. McDuffie are beginning to pay eurnest at^ tention to the subject* The Legislature of Virginia have again postponed indefinitely the election ol U. S. Senator. The Sato uill of course have but one representative in the Senate 4uring the present session. .* Co.nghess.?Little is done still in this, body. I:i the Senate the debute is continued on Mr. Grundy's report against the assumption of the S ate Debts, although no one seems to favor any such project. From the dt^ute it is plain that an effort is making j to confound the distinct (ju-stions of divi- J ding the proceeds of the p??W?c lands, and' x assuming tli<; stato debts, for t!ic piirpos" of rendering unpopular the project of disiribu i. g the proco. ds of the public lands.? Among those who have spoken on the subject me Mr* Southard on one side and Mr. Calhoun oh the other. The Pennsylvania U. S. 15 ink has made arrangem- n*s to furnish to the Slate of Pennsylvania a loan of $570,000 to pa\ the in crest of its debts, which the St twas likely otherwise to fail in doing. A few other banks co-operate ! in the arrangement and advanced a part of the money. Abolition Petitions.?Mr. Tappan, Senator from Ohio, has refused to present abolition petitions to the Senate, and assigned his reasons; Tnc? most prominent of which is that the petitioners ask for no redress of grievances, and only for measures winch are to affect not themselves but the citizens ofthe District of Columbia, and that too against the will of the letter. Splendid Silk Premiums.?The Secretary ofthe American Silk Society in a i advertisement urging the members to attend the meeting to be held in Baltimore on the 19th inst. says: Amongst other business, it is expected 'hat the Society will then offer the following premiums for the production of silk, viz Five premiums of $1,000 each; five of $500each ; fifty of $50each, and $1,000 in orerniuins on manufactured silks.

D. B. McARN. November 'J'Jd, 1031t. 2 If e Mcrus BXialticaulis. [J The subscriber has for sale ? a large number of* very supec rior iVlorus Multicauiis cuttings, warranted genuine. O w. ing to the culture, soil and disitancc allowed in planting, the proportion of large cuttings is believed to be greater than in any other lot offered for - sale in the country. |(J 1 he following facts will shew the great superiority of large cuttings over small. A little _ more than an acre of the field 1. :in wliifli ilm trpps sfnnrl was j III ff II1VII iiiv VI vv/v ^ wv??a %. . . n manured in the hill last spring, l[ at the time of planting, with ? rough stable manure. The - j manure was covered but not ft'mixed with the soil, and the ; | cutting planted near it ; the j smaller separate from the f larger. When the drought h|of spring came on, the manure absorbed the mois| ture from the earth around the cuttings, and although they sprouted, very few | came up?in some rows ,n not one. 'i he stand was in 1 proportion to the size of thf cuttings. Of twenty-five about ^ and over an inch in diame- . '1 | ter, planted together, twentythree grew and made fine trees, now standing in their places ; whilst within a few feet o{ them are rows en* i t tirely vacant, ttiougli planted at (he same time, in the same way, and with cuttings j from the same stock, only 'smaller, -The buds on a few of the large cuttings were fhjurcd in sawing; the two which failed were, doubtless, of this number. Here is conclusive proof that large. cuU.' ; tings (such as a great *pfo* ; portion of those now ofibred for sale) will succeed to perfection, in a bad season, 'and ! with treatment that destroys ! most of all of small and com.mon size, The Price is two and a half cents per foot or half a cent per bud, ^ A credit till January 184 L ^ | will be allowed on sums 'over $100, and till Jaruary v j 184*2 on sums over $400 ; (thus allowing ample time to j make the money with a handi someprofitout of the cuttings. Satisfactory security will : be required before the de| livery of die cuttings. ; A ny one may constitute him1 self an agentforthcsaleofcUttings; and will be allowed 5 per cent on sales amounting in all 1 to $*200; or tep per cent.,on j sales amounting to $,1600.? . ; The commission to be paid | when the money is paid for the j cuttings; or if the agent prei fors, he may lake it in cuttings ) when payment is satisfactorily secured. In this way ocI tive young men may procure themselves a good supply of coulticaulis,without any otheV cost than a little trouble* j 'Idle cuttings may be removed and planted at any . ! time before the ?0th Feb. or later if the spring is late.
