Hk-W have been presented with beau tiful specimen of sewing silk, raised and manufactured by Miss D. Smith, daughter of MT John Smith, of Wake Forest. We think it equal to any imported silk we nave ever seen, and reflects great credit on the fair hand by which it was wrought. It always af- lords us pleasure to notice such instances of enterprise and industry as this, and the fol- lowing, which we extract from the Union, published at Washington, in this State:-Ra- leigh .M C. J Star.

 Domestic IndnStry.-A gentleman residing in this neighborhood made his appearance in town, few days ago, attired in complete suit of Sik-the hroduct of his ozon .ffiatory; the whole process of culture, spinning, weaving and making, having been performed on his own farm, and by his own family. The fabric, in appearance, nearly resembles .Angoia, but is much softer, and evidently superior de- scription of goods. It surpasses any domes- tic fabric of the kind we have ever seen. The pantaloons, and stockings.

 We have no doubt, from what we have al- ready witnessed, that the culture of silk in North Carolina will, in the course of few years, become branch of industry, claiming the attention of many of our industrious and contemplating farmers. In measure, it will rival the growth of cotton, and become an article of not only domestic utility, but of re- venue to the country. Those who have at tempted its culture with proper attention, have always found their efforts crowned with success, and they will yet deserve the grati- tude of the people for reducing the theory to successful practice.
