We shall publish in few days Manual Of
the Silk Culture and Manufacture in every stage
from the planting Of the Mulberry and Matching of
the Worm to the completion of the fabric. This
work is compilation of the best trcatses on
every branch ef the subject, including the most
recent discoveries, profuscly illustrated with En-
cravings. We are sure no collection of facts SO
extensive, so valuable, so reliable, has ever yet
been presented to the public. We have been
aided in its preparation by Mr.. l. r. BARBOUR, of
Massachusetts-one Of the most extensive and
successful Silk-growers in the Union. The IN
formation contained in this book could not have
been obtained for three dollars short time since,
and is here afforded for Twenty-Five cents. Will
not those who have hitherto kept aloof from
Silk, lust consider the facts here embodied which
prove the cxpcdiency and profit of making the
Silk Culture branch of our Household Indus
try? There are one hundred thousand females
now furnishing each other by competing for Sew
ing in our cities who could be employed and sub
sisted permanently, usefully and comfortably, if
we only produced the Silk required for our own
consumption. Why should we not DO it, and
stop the immense drain of Specie hitherto conse-
quent on our. importation of Silk Two Hun
pREp MlLL,oNs OF DOLLARS WORTH OF SILKS
has been imported by this country within the
last twenty.three years! How immensely richer,
more prosperous, more thrifty, free from debt and
independent, we should have been if we had pro-
duced this at home! Let US delay no longer.


T G. w. KENDALL, Esq. of the Picayune, has
completed his Sketches of Travels and Adven-
lures in Texas, Santa Fe and Mexico, during his
perilous connection with the I.starred Santa Fe
Expedition. The work is now in press, and will
be speedily issued by the Harpers in two ample
volumes, beautifully printed and handsomely Illus
srated by engrayings. 1t will make important
additions to our knowledge of the Geography and
Topography of Northern Texas, the Camanche
Country and New. Mexico. The vigor and spirit
of the narrative will be inferred from the hasty
and brief notices of his adventures published by
Mr.. H. through the Pcayune.
