A few days ago, (bur skeins of silk were
brought into our office by Jesse Shelly, Eq.
of this place, reeled by a yonng woman
(Delpbina Field) in, bis employ ; the four
skeins together! weighed seventeen ounces,
and was reeled ; from a bushel of cocoons,
measured for the purpose. Mr. Shelly ihas
reeled about twenty pounds, a part of whih
was of bis own- raising tbe bilance was put-
chased from others. : I
Several of tbe citizens of Jamestown San'd
n - - s .
vicinity, bate rnade small parcels of eilk
his season, mostly from the native mutber-
rr. all of which so far ns we have ascertain
ed are well pleased witb their success.
Sonie with whom we have particular 1 'cpE-
vetsed on the subject have told fls, that in4y
were convinced they could not have made
he same amount in an equal length of time
in any other way as they made by raiding
worms on our native mulberry leaves ard
selling their cocopns. ; Now, every ofte ja
quamted with the Mullicaulis must know
that with a convenient orchard of them,
more than double sb much foliage can be
gathered with the same labor, as can from
(he native tree.? Hence the same! labor
would produce from the Molticaulis, ntaily
double the amount of cocoon?, besides the
additional profit each producer might secure
by reeling their own silk. To prove. the
advantage of reeling. Over that of felling
the cocoons, requires only a little reflection.
An ordinary reeler will reel at least a bush
el of cocoons in a day with ease; the silk.
jf well reeled from a bushel of good co
coons, is worth one to two dollars i more
than the cocoons would sell. for before they
were reeled, thus the producer would ob
tain this sum neb day while employed ?in
reeling their,silk, more than by selling their
cocoons. ? , ..
ReeliDff silk has usual!? been considered
a difficult operation, but this appears1 to e
either a mistaken! idea, or a false delusmn
held ont designedly, to deter the producer
from leelmff'i theiir own silk.4 Miss Field,
who reeled Mr.jsj'a silk; above mentioned,
comrnencedjreeiing this season without iy
instructions more than what had been o
tamed bv reading and by the time she had
reeled twelve or fifteen pounds, could reel
a bushel of cocoons in a day with ease. Mr
rent was made bv a mechanic jin the
neighborhood ori a plsn similar to the P4d
raontee reel.. He is also mak'ng arian0r-
mentsi for entering more extensively iU
the silk business in future. ! .

the only dependence "for feeding 'ai that

at most could only furnish food fi small

with much - difficulty, as there ws! noi
then a single Muliieaulis tree in North Car

veniences a few: mdividuaU in this neigh

several articles of clothing, aucb as cloaks,

as are now introduced. Ve feel fully war
ranted from our own observations, in pre

Much conclusive testimony might be ad
duced had we space anl inclination! to
pursue the sut ject, to prove the expediency
of extending the silk culture in the tnijed
States, but accounts received from different
sources, seem to indicate a pretty general
awakening of the public, mind to its impor
tance. . ' ' I t! !'
Under present existing circumstance,
the citizens of the United States hate every
inducement to enter extensively into the bu
siness, and thus save the fifieeo or twenty
millions of dollars we annually expend! f for
foreign silk when no country on eirtri is
better adapted to its production than this;
and no people better calculated than burs,
o prosecute it with success. And the! fact
is, that no great enterprise has ever been
attended under similar circumstances, with
more complete success, so far as it his (been
prosecuted. Indeed, from the best infor
mation we have had, it appears to he a, fact
decidedly in its favor and, 'worthy of
that wherever the business has been
taken wilb energy sufficient to induce! the
persons to provide themselves with suitable
orchards of mulberry trees, an indispensable
requisite in the production of siik,it ihas

F1XTURES FOR SILK WORMS.
It is thought and no doubt with! good
reason, that silk worms are usually i rhoie
thrifty and free from disease, whan! kept
clean end well ventilated, than when the
litter and ordure from the worms, is suffered
to accumulate in masses on the ehelfrs.
particularly n very, warm or damp weather;
hence, any improvement calculated to pro
mote c-eanlineas, and admit a mote free cir
culation f air, and at the same lime lessen
the labor required in attending the! if; or iris,
would be ol j ts of importance. ; j
. In conversation a few days ago, with Mr.
Shelly, mentmned on page 289, he suggest
ed a plan that appears to us peculiary adapt
ed to fleet all the above objects. His plan.
if we rightly understood it was, when the
worms revived after the second or; third
raou.tiug r sooner if found advisable, in
btead of removing them to oilier board
shelves, to place them cn open mats formed
of small round strips of wood, interwoven
crosswise similar to riddle work, in light
frames of convenient length and width,
and sufficiently open to admit all the ordure
from the worms, and the small litter from
the leaves to fall through, which would en-
tirely supersede or prevent the necessity of
otherwise cleaning the shelves. Or for tne
sake of cheapness, the mats may be made
without frames, and merely placed on poles
or pieces of timber of any convenient kind.
And in order to prevent the litttr irom
falling on the vorms below, other hht
frames of tqual width and length, with can
vass or some kind of coarse cheap linen
spread and tacked on the top, should j be
placed .underneath the one that supports the
worms; these cloths or aprons will; catch
the litter from the worms above, from Where
it may be conveniently swept at any time,
without distuibing the worms.
Th-se last mentioned, ot cloth frames
may also be very conveniently employed in
forming an excellent fixture for the worms
to spin in ; this is done by first driving nails
oi wooden pegs into the under side of the
side piece of the frame, about three quarters
of an inch apart, the wbole length o: the
(rime on both sides;! the pegs or naita
should be an inch or more long below the
frame; then take a strip of strong linen or
cloth of some kind no matter what, of an
inch more or less in width : fasten the end
then pass the sinp back ward and forward
across ihe frame, and arouri i ihol t xro "next
jpes at each turn,' thus forming spices be
twgen the stripj, into which tbe.worins may
cnbventently crawl and spin This fixture
fvr, aprnnihg appears to ba aapeVior to bush
es jbr stra w ; jt is said they are not so apt to
spin double cocoons, they are more conve
nient to gather, and come off cleaner, and
with less floss. This fume illiquid be so
fixed, that it may be loweied down within
reach of the worms below, whenever they
manifest an inclination to spin. When
they have all mounted and done spinning
the frame may be taken but, and by loosing
the strip of cloth t one end, the cocoons
may be conveniently gathered. Mr. Shelly
stalest that he has made some trial of . tbs
plan, aod ihn.ks it quite superior to any
other that he has yet seen recommended

THE STORMY PETREL.

MR. VAN BUREN, DURING THE WAU
OF 1812.
It is frfqnently aiked, what waa the policy
pursued by Mr. Van Buren durirg tbe war ul"
lSli ? His friends boldly reply, he was U e
zsalons advocate of that measure, and support; J
the Ad liii niet rat ion of the General Governcert
in its prosecution. His opponents speak douLt
ingly, and give evidence in their answers to t.'.s
iuterrogaiory cf a want it correct : information,
on the subject. Nor is this strange or wonJcrful.
The actors in the scenes of these by gtne daj.
are rapidly passtrg iff the stage of life. An
other generation has sprung jp. Men born af
ter ihat war was declared, may n aw be in tl :
councils of the nation ; and thousands tf suc L
are among the mot ardent, and are cf an ae t
ie ihe mot efficient, in the; mighty political
struggle that agitates our country." They ari
older than a m. joriiy of thwsev gallant . spiriu
which coinmandt-d our baltallions io the bit!e
fiflds of the revolution, and shed a lustre up
(be land of tbeir nativity. .
No man's praition was more easily defined,
than Mr. Vaa BorenV in 1312. A very U u
historical facts, which are -matters of n curd,
will remove all doubts on this point ; and how
ever much they may te ibscored by sophistry
and metaphysical refinement, they aland io bo!J

of the IfVu and Mr Madison, and the champ

In April. ISll, Mr. Van Buteo was elected -z
member uf the Senate of the State of New
Vrk. The wbole country was then convulsed
with the q'nstioii of war or 00 war with Gieit
Britain. In iboe days the Democratic parly
designated Presidential candidates by caccuses.
They weie the lest vf party men. In this n sy
.Mr. J-rTrson had been ty ice nominated andelec
ted, ard Mr. Macinonce. Oo tbeSSd of M3y,
1S12, Mr. Mad;soa was nominated a seccnJ
tiove by the Democratic members of Congress.

Oh ihe 20ih .f May, seven days after tie
