Editors : Receiving: a letter by the last weekl j mail to this" office, from a gentleman of your City, who purchased of me last Spring, a quantity of the New Chinese Mulberry, with a request from him and another purchaser to give some di rections how, to. manage to the best advan tage forthe preserving and further increase of their fine growth of the plant, I conclu ded tooffer lor publication, a few hints on this subject that might notonly give those gentlemen the desired information,! but might perhaps be acceptable to all your readers interested in the Silk culture. . As to preserving the Morus Multicaulis from the rigors of winter in our climate, my experience for a few past winjers (tho't by some to be severe beyond a parallel) poes to show, that trouble to this object is unnecessary. Although in Northern cli mates, as I have been informed, this plant has been destroyed to the ground most ge nerally ; yet my trees (the oldest I believe in the Carolnas have never been materi ally' injuredi , It is true that the tip ends of the branches, say three or four buds at each extremity, of un ripened' wood of last rrowth. have been generally killed. To juard against loss of cuttings from this cir cumstance, after the first biting frost which causes all the leaves to fall off, (mine now are in full leaf still! I cut off the end9 of the limbs, or all the unripened parts, with i lew buds ot the npenea partoi me umo, and if not time to plant immediately, I burv (hem m a drv place, or put them in ray cellar for my own use,' or for my own planting during the Winter or in the Spring, Seems the accounts ot the destruction ot the upper parts of this tree in the North by irost (it always grows again from the roots J I took up some last Fall and buried them in a dry place root and brauch. They did no better than others that braved the win ter unprotected arid then were taken up and transplanted. As I have had leisure during the Fall and Winter to prepare the cutting9 of two or three buds each, I have, after tying them in bundles of fifties, left them lying in a cellar till Spring. In such case they have always grown with me, ex cept that, through press of business last Spring, a few bunches remained in my cel lar till late in April, which, on removal, appeared diy and shrivelled. About the half of these failed to grow. So tenacious is this plant of life, that I have no doubt that if limbs-were cutoff in the Fall and left till Spring in a shaded place on the bare ground, in any situation, the cuttings of them would grow. Early last Spring we had here, a long dry spell ; during this, many cuttings late planted show ed no signs of growing. Not having time to water them, I left them to their fate. The first rain thereafter, they generally sprang forth. Some of those not doing so, or the upper bud dying, were found, on removing tlie earth above, to be ready to shoot from a lower bud. And some ap parently dead, and found alive at the low er end, when dug up in working the plants and again inserted with, pressing the earth, did well. ; Asa caution however,-against putting this tenacity of life too far to the test, I would mention that a friend of mine f Ml. J' . I in vvmiarosooro7 informed me, ne lost a number of cuttings by putting, them In his cellar and letting them remain till Spring without inserting their ends in earth, or damp moss. Whether his. case was like that of mine, "letting-them remain too long in the Spring, I did not learn. My man ner of propagating by cuttings oftwo, three or four buds, has been that of opening a furrow with a plow, laying the cuttings therein slanting' towards the West or South, tan angle of about .45 degrees and then turning a furrow back upon them so as to cover all but the tipper bud Drills 3 feet a part, & plants a foot in the drill. Where the ground was poor, I have taken more Pains ; such as drawing with the hoei a thin er of earth onJthe cuttings to the upper aufl (so as not tohave the manurecome in contact with the plants,) then pressing hereon with the foot or otherwise, then reading oh some manure, and lastly co vering again by turning a furrow thereon, anl further! adjusting with the hoe if ne essary. But I havejately understood that the usual practice m the North with jottings, is to have two buds only &. cover win ; merely leaving the end above the Wer bud jut of the grounds The upper .UU Will fihnnf ' fArth ha uk an tho lo werone for tho roots. It is safer per- haps, especially in case of a dry Summer, ' to plant cuttings of several buds. . But; from an experiment I made last Spring with single buds, 1 am induced to try this method again. ' Recollecting that Mr Smith, known for merly as Editor of the American. Farmer, had mentioned in an Editorial that his me thod of propagating the Multicaulis was with single buds in a hot bed and thence trans planted and watered ;aiid that Mr. Ro bert Sinclair, of Baltimore, had also suc ceeded, as stated in the Farmer and Gar dener, with single buds, I planted such cuttings, say half an inch longer more, as follows : After opening a shallow fur row with a coulter, I dropped them along therein about six inches apart in me drill, and covered them lightly by pressing a large weeding hoe over the top. More than half grew, and that more 'did not, I attri bute rather to the circumstance of planting late, and taking cuttings from my cellar of such doubtful character, as before nam ed, than to any failures of this plan. The plants thus made were, like the others, never watered, & made trees of 5, 6 and 7 feet high. Another easy mode of propa gation, is by layers ; or, in the early part of the season, burying the lower shoots of the trees, bv discing: a hole in a wet time, and leaving the end of the branch out. They soon form roots. As an evidence of the facility of propa gation, and the encouragement thereto, 1 state that, four years ago last Spring, I procured from Baltimore one Morus Mul ticaulis, only about a foot long and indif ferently rooted, which stood me in a dol lar besides the cost of conveyance, "along with Grape Vines and Fruit Trees. They all arrived so late towards the last of A pril, when all Spring vegetation had burst forth here, that I almost despaired of their growing. But soaking them in a branch for a few days, to relieve them from their dry shrivelled appearance, they all did well From this single plant I have pro pagated several thousand rooted ones, not to name a still larger number of cutting3 produced. Aboutt)vo years since, while at Louisburg, happening to mention to a friend there, that I was negotiating with Mr. Robert Sinclair, of Baltimore, to sell him my then disposable stock of New Chi nese Mulberry trees, comprising about a hundred, he remarked that, from patriotic motives, I should not send them away but dispose of them in rpy own State That our climate was better calculated for the Mulberry and Silk culture than that of the Eastern States, and that there, as he knew from having visited that region lately, they cleared B500 an acre by Silk Cram a Mul berry orchard, and that an acre of such Orchard foil indifferent land) rented for 30 n year. On replying, that the people of our State were not'sulficieatly awake to the subject to patronize me, he responded I shoulq offer my Trees, and, as they were highly ornamental, some might buy them for this object only, I did offer, and by the kind assistance of this friend, a part of the hundred were disposed of in Louis- burs:, and the rest I distributed in Gran ville and Warren counties. One gentle man near Williamsboro , has written to me lately, that from! the twenty treei he procured from me, at that time, he hat in creased to more than TOO. It wag at first a matter of doubt, whether these plants of Southern rearing would do better tor pro pagration and growth than those procured from the North; but this question has been fully settled, in my mind at -least. , On writing to Mr. Sinclair that some ofiny trees from cuttings grew to the height of 8 and 9 feet a season, he, in reply, expressed his astonishment, as that growth far sur passed any in his establishment. , A gentleman of Brunswick county, Va. who, last winter, purchased of me near g200 worth of the Multicaulis, wrote to me in the Summer that the plants he got of roe did better than those he had procured from the North. The same gen tleman visited me lately, to view my Nur series and Vineyards, and engage another supply of the New Chinese Mulberry. On yiewing my Morus Multicaulis Trees, the original ones 16 and 18 feet high and others of corresponding height .and size, he expressed his surprise at the contrast between mine and those in the North. tie staieo, matnaying last June, ratten a toiirto the Eastern States to see the Silk establishments there, $nd to obtain infor mation about thailk culture, as well as to satisfy himself respecting its advantages, he had, in all that tour, seen no Morus Multicaulis Trees - much more than knee highf that the past winter they had nearly all been killed to the ground. I cannot here forbear mentioning, that this gentleman was so thoroughly convin ced, as he stated, by his tour and other wise, of the promised great profit of the Silk, culture. in the South, that he was e recting buildings to some extent, engaging appropriate neip and raaicing omer prepa rations to commence the Silk business next SDririff and that he would devote at! his Morus Multicaulis of; last year's growth to that object r And ithat far the purpose of propagating, he wished to procure hundred dollars worth Jrom me. Shall a further digress here, and state that, hav ins- nOinted him to a tot of my Trees and telline- him' that as he lvas a liberal patron I wnu Id let hint have ihem'at 815 a hun- - m. dred, this noble son of the 01di)ommion,L and I may add this honest , as well as truly honorable man, or according to the Poet, 4 one of ltz noblest works of God," replied that he knew the prices of the Multicaulis, & that this was too low ; he would give me S20 a hundred for those in question. And for an object like his own, he negotiated that a friend of his should take another lot of Trees of a larger description, at 225 a hundred. He, moreover, stated that he found in his tour that much deception was in practice on the public regarding pre tended seed and seedlings of the Morus ii iir. r i . 3iuiucauus ana omcr boasted superior Mulberry, ai Brussa and Florence ; but; all, he had reason to believe, from inspec tion and good information, far inferior to the true Morus Multicaulis. I would here observe, that the Morus Alba, or White Italian Mulberry, ranks by the best autho rities, next to the Multicaulis. But Mr. Smith, before alluded to, in a late most able essay, on the Mulberry and Silk cul ture, appearing In the Farmer and Gard ener, successor to the American Fanner, holds the following language respecting the comparative excellencies of the two species: I, he says, consider the Morus Multi caulis worth one hundred ner cent more than the White Italian. It saves nine- tenths of the labor in gathering the leaves, on account of their being at least ten times the size ot the White. One pound of Mo rus Multicaulis leaves contains one-third more nutritive matter than a pound of the best White Mulberry leaves. The Morus Multicaulis affords leaves, and is not in- It .11 X jured Dy toe loss ot them the nrst season. All they require, is a few to be reft on the tops and ends of the branches. The White requires to be 3 or 4 years old before it can be used." I consider another comparative disadvan tage of the White Italian not named by Mr. omitli, is that" it is mtre difficult of propa gatibn. About eight years since, a neigh bor and mreetf understanding that the White Mulberry would grow from cuttings, pro cured at some cost and trouble a consider able number ; but we cat nearly all during the Summer. Near three years since, ha ving heard it suggested that the White Ita lian budded forth earlier in the Spring than the Multieaulia, and was therefore desirable in case the worms appeared too early for the latter, I procured a supply of seed of tlie former. I found the young aeedlings more trouble the first season, than the plants from Morus Multieaulia cuttings. And my observation proves, that if there is any pri ority of budding, the Multieaulia has it. I givt the seedlings to those purchasers of the Multieaulia, who will have them. I intended to quote largely from Mr. Smith's late essay, but finding my piece has now become much longer than anticipated I must eontent myself at this time with one more quotation only, regarding the location of a Multieaulia Orchard. That part of the es say regarding the true marks of the Morus Multicaulis, to guard against the increasing attempt! at imposition upon the public, and some othejr matters equally important, I may offer you, Mr. Editors at another time, by -way of extract and comment. The Moras Multieaulis,ayaMr. Smith, if perfectly hardy when grown on its own peculiar and natural soil, which ia light, dry and not over rich On low rich soils, their growth ia protracted to so late a sea son that they do not ripen their wood, and of course they are killed to tlie ground in Winter. I hare uniformly grown them on high dry rather candy soil, and never lost a branch or a bad ; while others, who plant ed them on low alluvial rich soils, have lost them every Winter. Mr. Smith speaks of the region of Balti more. I have grown them in a diversity of soils and situations, without their being injured by the Winter. I believe they will grow South, on almost the poorest of soils, tolerably well; while, on the richest ground, they will show a correspondent growth. But the ground should, in all cases, for two or three years at least, be kept stirred and loose around them. I have planted cuttings and rooted ones with entire success, from the time of the first falling of the leaves, till the buds were ready to expand in the Spring. Yet, I join in the concurrent ad vice, to procure them in the Fall, and after being secured during the Winter, to plant in the Spring. But this course applies par ticularly to those procured from the North. It ia desirable, I conceive, for the good of our country and all concerned, that the cultivation of the Morus Multieaulia should be greatly extended, ia order to the speedy and complete success of the Silk business. With all due deference, I would advise es pecially all intelligent patriotic Agricultu ralists of the South to commence immedi ately, on a small scale at least, upon the cul tivation of this plant. I have no doubt that for some years, this cultivation will be very profitable as well as pleasant. . And even, after we may behold many of our old, anqiat present barren fields, covered with the green "verdure of this plant, and the cottages of the superannuated widows and children adjoining the Mulberry Orchards, most profitably employed m the Silk cul ture and, after we may see almost every great house, college and hamlet set around with these most beautiful, of moderate sized ornamental trees, still, the Morus Multi caulis cultivation may be more profitable than that of Cotton, in our State, when the comparative short seasons of growth forthe latter plant (long enough for the former) may render it impossible to compete profit ably with Texas and other more Southern regions, peculiarly fitted for the growth of Cotton. I am aware that the above will be pronounced by some a mere effusion of a brain, too visionary. But I remark that cool heads are liable to be mistaken some- times as well as warm ones. So it has hap- pened with some of my cool calculating acquaintances, who, a few years since, to so attentively, or to add any thing of force knowing that when I was then in debt, I to the argument by which it had been sus . expended more than' a dollar for a small tained.

Thus invited by the political friends of that gentleman, in some measure, to bring into review the character and con duct of that institution, it could not justly be complained of, either by them or himself, ! that the invitation had been accepted, and that some reminiscences had been called up, not, perhaps, the most crratifyinar to its friends, and but littla calculated to recom mend it to the public favor. While, said Mr. B. the gendeman evinces ! quite certain that he is not himself obnoxious i to the same charge t When he impute, to j u mmiairtinn it. fflnnrtr.. th ! ! the administration and its supporters, the tration had used no ordinary industry, for some time past, to produce the impression on the public mind, that it was a part of its system of policy to attempt the introduction of an exclusive metallic currency. The friends of & national bank, had been es pecially distinguished for their untieing seal, in endeavoring to create this impression, no doubt hoping to profit by the apprehensions and distrusts which, they expected to engen der in the public mind, lay the use of it ' against tlose in power. Neither tha late administration, nor the present, had, on any occasion, promulgated this aa a part of its policy. Neither, he was entirely confident, had at any time entertained a design so ut terly visionary and impracticable in the pre sent condition of the country. How, he would aak, could any well-informed person believe, for a single moment, that such was the design of those now in authority, when the Federal Government was entirely pow erless to accomplish, by legislation, any such purpose f The State's had been in the un disturbed exercise of vhe right to incorporate banking institutions, from the adoption of the Federal Constitution down to the pre sent time. A right now universally conce ded by all parties, and which none were disposed to call into question. Congress could not, therefore, interpose, its authority, either to suppress existing institution, or to prevent the establishment of new ones. and could only exercise some indirect con trol over them through ita revenue laws., notwithstanding tha insuperable difficulties which stood in the way of each an attempt, as well from tha want of constitutional pow er in Congress effect it as ita own abso lute inexpediency, yet we daily heard attri- buted to the administration, as a part of its policy, the intention to destroy the banking institutions of the country, and to substitute in their atead an entire metallic currency. Although the power of Congraaa was im potent for such purposes of destruction aa were imputed, yet apprehensions were grave ly expressed, here and elsewhere, thai aome such deep design was in agitation against the entire paper system, and that the country was to .be visited with ruin and desolation in all hs branches of business and industry. Mr. B. said helhbught gentlemen might well dismiss all ; apprehensions which they seemed to entertam for the safety of that i ii. j . - r imuch greater of its extending its power over k)ju:iu, a uie uaugej,- m ills opinion, wia the country, than of its being restrained I within -any reasonable limits. IJhad ac quired iajpower, he feared, stronger" than the ent, and abofth control of the people. themselves ; a power which, if it re- -mained unchecked, would, jn liis-opinion,' eventually overthrow our republican form pf . Government. , - The friends of the administration had been reproached by the same gentleman, in no . very measured terms, with. having abandon- the State banks at this, the period of their greaiesi aimcuiiy, ana wun naving pracusea faith towards them, by refusing longer to employ them as depositories of the.publio revenue . - r ; This charge was particularly applicable said Mr. B. to the banks, and not to. the Government. It was they who had aban doned the Government, and violated the trust . reposed in them. By refusing to pay over large sums of the public money entrusted to them, they had deprived it, -so far as depen ded on them, of the means necessary to con duct its ordinary operations. In having done this, they had voluntarily changed the . relation which they had before stood in to the Government, and had incurred a forfeit ure of their right to a longer continuance a its . fiscal agents, under a provision 'of the de posite act. In this condition of things, when the. trust reposed in them had been so grosV ly abused, was there any thing to justify tho reproaches, which were thus attempted to be cast on the friends of the administration, because they coujd not again give the banks their confidence, and plait the Government, again in a situation to b& embarrassed by" them ? The gentleman who had preferred, these charges, seemed to adopt a rule which was the very reverse of thai generally acted on in, such, cases. Preciaely in proportion as the banks have abused the trust confided to them, does he give hem his confidence. and insist on their worthiness to be continu ed as the depositories of the public money. : When an individual employed an agent to transact his business, a flagrant abuse of the trust confided to him, waa the best of. rea sons for his dismission Those in opposition seemed, on the pre sent occasion, to discard this valuable rule, founded as it was in common prudence .;. and the very banks not long since so unceasing ly denounced by them aa wholly unfit to take charge of the public moneys, had sud denly become worthy of all confidence.
