| The Electors of the Senate chosen by the
friends Of Mr.. Van Buren, in this State have
contrary to our anticipation, venturcd the
extreme measure of refusing to go into Con
vention for the election Of Senate, and there
IS consequently no Senate, and the State
Government is reduced to a chaos. We have
already stated the circumstances leading to
this state OF things, but the Importance of the
step just taken Snd of the crisis thereby crea-

Georgetown Harbor-Georgetoun and Che-
ran Rail Road.

AS Paris is France, so as 10 Banks and
their stock,-Ral Roads and their stock;
il seems intended, by the good folks of the
great city, Charleston shall be South Car
olina. Immediately after the Revolution,
the soil of the upper Districts could no,
be brought into profitable use. There
was scarely marketable staple. The
capital was naturally confined to the low
country; and, consequently, the charac-
ter of funded stock and Bank stock hol-
den was restricted to Chareston and its
vicinity. Such result could not then
have been matter Of surprise or prob
lem difficult TO solve. But, since the sue
cessful, the eminently successful cultiva-
ton of Cotton, perhaps during 1856,
comparatively superior to that Of the West
ern States, it must. 10 every rehecting
mind, have been matter Of profound as
tonislment, that not only had no poor
Cracker share in Bank; but he was con-
tent to remain, through his Factors, mere
dependent on the Banks of Charleston.
Perhaps this circumstance is to be ac-
counted for, in the deluSion created by
the Bank of the State. lis project and
plan were well calculated to produce in
contented and unamb,ious minds feel
inc, the result of which would naturally
be the growing of cotton 10 buy negroes,
and the buying negroes to grow cotton
or, to use homcly but expressive phrase,
"to carry all our eggs in one basket"
Such, it is believed, has not been the
case in Georgia. Perhaps it may be said
she has erred as much on the side Of crea.
ting Banks as South Carolina has in so
wholly abstaining from chartcring them
in her upper districts; but possibly, how
ever great may have been the inconveni-
enccs she has sustained, they are more
than counlcrbalanced by the benefits that
young and rising State has derived. This
appears pretty evident, and in al proba-
bility will soon appear more so, in the
prospect Georgia now and hereafter will
enjoy, of having the two most important
Rail Roads in the South laid down through
her territory when, without great excr-
ton on the part Of South Carolina. the
whole of its territory East of the Broad,
will. in all probability, in this age of i'm
provement, be without any work OF the
kind, ..

From the Northampton Courier.l
France is considered silk growing
country, yet she does not grow sufficient
for her own manufactures, and it is said,
annually imports raw silk to the amount
of$6,O 100000.
England, owing to the humidity Of her
climate, cannot raise the worms to advan-
tage, and for her numerous manufactures
is obliged annually to import the raw ma
terial from other countries to the amount
of $l7,000.000. 1t is stated that we inn
port annually Of raw silk to the amount of
about 100000, and of the manufacture
ed over sixteen millions.
Unless the United States push the cul-
ture ofthe mulberry and raising the CO.
coons, beyond any thing now in operation
muny long years must intervene, before we
can supply the demand of our own mar
kets. Inhabiting as we do one OF the
best climates in the world for manufacture
ing silk of the best quality, instead of pay
ing ten millions of dollars annually to 9TH
er nations for the raw material. we ought
to export two or three times that amount.
1t is said our imports Of silk stufls ex-
ceed our export of bread stutfs-Why is
this Only because We do not duly ap-
preciate and improve the means we have.
Let our intelligent farmers be convinced
that the silk business is profitable, and
then We can hope that every eyertIon will
be made to extend the cultivation Of the
mulberry and raising Of cocoons.
1t is matter of regret, that any one
should view the subject as a wild project
and say, that al,hough gh it may be a good
business for few years, if found lucrative,
every body will engage in it, and glut and
ruin the market. We wish the subject could
be so represented to our fellow-citizens, as
to impress them with the importance of
examining the subject, on the broad scale
of greater national importance than any
agricultural subject ever yet pursued.
But if doubts and fears shall remain, we
only ask them to commence the culture
of the mulberry on limited scale for a
few years, not to interfere with any other
agricultural pursuit. Let the experiment
be made upon some Of our almost barren
and useless portions Of poor, dry, stony
gravelly soil.
1t may be asked, if the silk business
can he made more profitable than any
crop, why not take the best and richest
land ! A fair question indeed, but such
land is not best for the Chinese mulberry,
and it would be desirable TO have every
patch of poor, waste, dry land devoted to
some useful purpose.

In determining the standard proportions
for good soil, it must be remembered,
that as different plants have different sys-
TENS of roots, branches and leaves, they
flourish best i'll different soils; bulbous
rooted plants need looser and lighter soil
than fibrous rooted and plants having on.
ly short fibrous roots, demand firmer soil
than such as have long, and deep tap roots.
1t may also be observed, that Il rainy re-
glon of the country needs a light soil, while
a dry one needs rich retcntive soil, III Or
der to prevent too much wet in the one
case, and drought in the other.
