A "Union Society of Colored persons" late
ly held meeting in Cincinnati and passed
set of resolutions among which we see the fol-
lowing:
Resolred, That the publication OF the Phi
lanthropist and other Abolition papers and
tracts in this city, have had and we believe
will continue to have, an injurious and preju-
dicial effect OH the interests and weL-being OF
the colorcd population.
ReSolred, That if Mr.. Birney and his asso-
ciates have, as they pretend, the wen-being OF
the colorcd race at heart, they will cease their
misguided efforts here, and leave us as they
found US, to.work out our own salvation.
Remarkable PhenOrarnon-Gn Friday eve
ming, 29th ult about II o'clock, the family OF
Mrs. Foath, of this CITY, were startled and
somewhat alarmed by the heavy fall of bril-
liant luminous body, apparently within few
feet of the house. The occurrence was at
tended by sort of Kissing noise, and rcsem-
bling the rafting OF shower of hail on the
roof. On arriving at the spot, which was so
well defined as not to be mistaken, compact
mass of stone and vegetable bitumen was
found, which OF examination, left no doubt of
its being of meteoric origin. The weight of
the mass was about fire lbs. 1t must have
been detached portion of an extensive mete-
or. similar to that which traversed our atmos-
phere few years since, the particulars of
which were published in SiHiman's Journal,
and portions of which fell to the earth in vari-
Gus parts of the United States. The frag-
ment which fell on Friday evening, bears
striking resemblance to portions of this mete-
oric body, which are yet to be found III the

SILK CULTURE.
81. Augustine, Aug. 6.
Our climate is congenal to the habits of the
silk worm, and our soil well adapted to the
growth OF the mulberry of every description.
1t thrives in any of orr soils and neither
drought or heavy rains seem to have any dele
teriouS influence uponit.
The Norus Muknaulis or Chinese mul-
berry was introduced here about two years
since, by the Rev. David Brown, and they
have multiplied almost beyond example. Sew
cral of our enterprising citizens have followed
his example, among whom we name DR.. An
derson, NJ. II. Tucker, Thos Douglas, and
John Drysdalc, EsqrS. From a few plants
several hundred thousand have been produced
and in the course of a few years an article OF
export themselves. As an instance of the
rapid growth of the mulberry here we will
mention that the Morus Multicauris from
layers, have grown al average height of six
feet since March last, and white mulberry has
grown nearly five feet in the same period of
time, from the seed.
There can be no doubt of the proftablenesS
ofthe silk culture, and it only wants enterprise
and industry to ensure success. We are in
formed that the attention of several northern
capitalists of considerable experience In this
culture, has been attracted towards East
Florida, with view of investing portion of
their capital in this branch Of business, and as
soon as our Indian difficulties are over, we may
expect our territory to improve to an unexam-
pied degree.
The election for members of the State Leg
lature of Alabama have taken place. Both
the White and Van Bmen parties claim
the victory.
It's rumored that some cases of the Cholera
have occurred in Philadelphia.
