The production of Silk IS to become a great interest in this country. We receive from many parts of .he Union almost daily proofs of the earnestness with which public attention IS directed 10 if. IL is some years since it became source of wealth to several of the towns of Connecticut, and we ourselves witnessed, with surprise, three years ago, the large extent to which the industrious and noiseless community at Economy, on the Ohio, had carried both it's production and fabrication. We saw the whole process, from the worm to the loom, in full and extensive operation there. Since that time the places of its production have multiplied an hundred fold, and we ob- serve that one individual in Massachusetts has cocoonery, so called, two hundred feet in length. The newspapers teem with essays and information on the subject and one or two have been actually started to be devoted to 1t exclusively. That excellent journal, the Farmer and Gardener of Balti- more, has lately devoted large portion of its columns to the subject, and the editor announces that he is compiling for his pa per Silk Manual, from the most authentic sources, on the culture of the Mulberry and the treatment of the Silk Worm. The Number of last week contained paper of great length, and more than common value, on this interesting subject.

 The value of Silk now imported into the United States amounts, we believe, to about ten millions of dollars. In twenty years, we have very little doubt, the Silk product ln the United States will equal in value the present production of Cotton, and that we shall become exporters, instead Of impor- tess of it.-.Nat.
