THE CFLTFRE AND MAN I' FACTFKE OF .SILK. For tlie llepoitoa the important resolutions of Mr. M i nek. we are indebted to him and ether friends in Congress. The importance of the subject is exposed and explained by the Committee, and the following pertinent observations by the Editor of the Albany Argus, leave us no occasion for .writing even a brief introduction. Anmr. Farmer. 'We confess that there is scarcely a branch ef industry, which, in our judgment, can be rendered more productive, or in which home material and labor may be made more advantageously to supply tlie place of foreign production, than in the culture of silk and the ultimate manufacture of silk goods. The history of this manufacture in Great Pritian, a sketch of which we published a few days since from the article on this subject in the last Edinburgh He view, exibited very convincing result" of its importance, both as a profitable application of labor, and as ascource of national wealth and independence. Aside from any of the extrinsic circumstances, the fact that it affords employment &. support to nearly half a million of persons, and is v-'ned at nearly fifty millions of dollars, is a so acient proof f the magnitude of the manufacture, and of its material connecion w ith the

public interests. The manner in which the at

tention of Congress has been at length turned

towards the subject, shows that it is beginning

to excite enquiry; and although the progress of any improvement in this way, must necessarily

be slow, yet it is evident that it is. not to be, as

it has been, wholly neglected.

'The following report of the Committee on Agriculture, made to the House of Uepiosentalixes on Tuesday last, furnishes a mass of use-

lul and highly interesting facts. The contrast between the amount of the importation of silks$ the exportation of bread stulTs,is not less useful. Together.trust they will make such an impression upon the country, (whatever may be the course Congress may chance to pursue.)as will induce an earlyfcsteady experiment in relation both to products-manufacture of this important article of industry and trade."

of managing the silk xvorm;and an explanation

of the process till the article is ready for market. The committer incline to the opinion, that the best mode of raising silk will be for every farmer and planter to appropriate a small

portion of ground, as for a fruit orchard, for rais ingthc mulberiy tu e, calculating to produce as many worms as his own family will enable him to manage without increasing bis expenses, and without permitting it, until the experiment

shall have been fully tried, to interfere with

heregular course of his usual pursuits. A single acre planted with the mulberry will produce

horn 500 to bOO pounds raw tidk, the value ot xxhich to the individual would richly compensate for the capital and labor emploxcd, and the aggregate to the country be of great importance.
