After the above intelligence to tie public,
the Louisville Public Advertiser, that cham
pion ofthe administration In Kentucky, thus
speaks ofthe matter:
sfThe Government has steadily labored ia
restore the currency, and is, no doubt, glad
that Mr.. Biddle no longer remains behind his
cotton bales. We may also say no opposition
has been manifested.t to the Bank of the United
States Of Pennsylvania, on @mere partizan
prejudice" It was resisted, when striving
to dictate to Congress and the nation, and viii
hereafter be resisted, should it venture again
into the arena. But should It be conducted on
pure financial principles, and sever its con-
neetion with the opposition, it may expect to
be justly and literally treated by the Admins
tration and its friends
We again say, take care Democracy
take care!
In addition we would respectfully solicit
the attention ofour late State Right friends to
the above as overwhelming evidence that
they have been greaty deceived BY s,the lille
magician" Whichever way the wind tends,
Van Buren, win trim his sail to the breeze
His compass is one that contains no magnet
and his principles are Office and honor sand
the spoils Of victory" These are his prin-
cipIes, and whichever way the democracy
Of numbers tend there he IS found in the

Of about $4,000 bales.
The arrivals have been small-ouly 5000

: CULTURE OF SIIK.-Considerable at.
tention is now being paid in the South, to
the cultivation Of the Mulberry tree, and
the rearing of silk worms. The culture
Of silk is one Of great importance to the
South, in commercial point of view, and
being such we are in hopes our Mississip-
pi planters viii make some experiments
towards introducing it into our State. We
copy from The Stockton (Ala,l Mirror
the following
MoruS Multicallus trees continue to be
in great demand in this vicinity. Appli.
cations from New York, Philadelphia and
as far south as Virginia, arrive here daily
after Morus Multicaulus trees. The pri-
ces range from 25 to so cents the tree, in
proportion TO its age and size. Those
who have been cuItivating this mulberry,
viii pow'reap rich reward. The liberal
premiums offered by the legislature Of
Pennsylvania for raw silk and cocoons, it
is said, have given this impulse 10 the sale
Of the tree. The Canton and Alaine, in
many respects, however, is its superior.
That tree is the rage yet, but il will en-
nance in value withthe multicaulis.

ia New England il IS profitable at the

genial to the growth Of the tree, and our

CORRESPONDENCE.
THE NEW YORK PRESS.
New Yoax, sep,ember

AsS" hohhi ccIActnpri -, io1os
DEAR SIN The Neic York Gazette is the most an
cient newspaper establishment in this city, and pro-
badly among the most ancient in the Union. During
the Revolutionary War; II fourished under the aus
pices Of Hugh Gaines, afer which IL passed into the
hands Of the late John Lang, Esq, under whose
management in connection with his partner, Mr..
Turner II long sustained the character Of the best
conducted mercantile newspaper published in the
city.
Many years since, rivals sprung up in is path, but
il bated mantuIly fop the patronage of the meE-
chants, and for time kept itsground despite the en-
erprise and industry Of antagonist establishments
But like all things earthly the good old Gazette had
reached the zenith Of lbs influence, and subsequently,
experienced the decay attendant on the fashion Of
this world which passeth away
Surrounded by younger and more vigorous com
petitors, one by one outstripped il in the race for
popularity and patronage until the Gazette, If not
the last on the course was doomed 10 view many a
despised rival far in advance. During its wane, it
passed into the hands Of lis present conductor, whose
talents and spirit previously lent little life and in
teres to the columns of the Courier and Enquirer,
of whom be was long an associate editor. Ii now is
spirited and raey journal-and Us editorial matter
Is distinguished for the quiet humor and facetious
pleasantly which is the decided forte of its worthy
editor Nor has il lost a whit Of its early devotion
to commercial subjects In its columns the man Of
business will find early and full information in rela-
ton to the marketsa daily reference to those topics
which interest the stranger and the citizen-lively
descriptions Of the varied mental and physical phe-
nomsaa Of which our huge metropolis is so redoent
and well selected synopsis Of Foreign and Do
nestle intelligence The quaint and ssaiqae method
in which the editor Of the Gazette handles his sub
ect reminds forcbly Of his similarity to the late
lamenied Charles Lamb. The talent for humorous
description, for which Lamb was so celebrated APP
pears transferred TO the columns Of the Gazette, nor
the views Of the edor dictated by less good TASTE
and philosophical equanimy, than that Of his dis
tinguished prototype. Take it all in ALL few news
paper establishments in this city offer greater induce
ments to the countenance andsuppon Of the liberal
minded gentleman, and the enterprising merchant,
than the New York Gazette.
lis politics are decidedly Whig-but il rarely Of
tends good taste by any vruent or coarse abuse OF its
political opponents. That it occasionally contains
severe political animadyersions on the policy and
practices of its antagonists is true but do not reco-
lec observing any resort to personal attacks in its
columns
| Its most successful weapon in such encounters is
keen, biting satire, which together with an occa-
sional dash Of well directed ridicule render it a
| formidable assailant.

Speaking of the attack on the Navy the N. Y.
Evening Star, says:
eve are, however, satisfied in our mind that Mr.
Paudng is not the author and does not approve the
attack"
The general opinion here is, that the Secretary of
the Navy is either himself the author, that it was
published with his knowledge consent.
Those who are accustomed TO scan political arti-
cles in this latitude derive great confidence from the
internal evidence of the article, independent Of cir
cumstances known better here than at distance.
Besides, has the Globe denied i'll
A correspondent of the Intelligencer speaks thus
OF the internal evidence Of the article itself:
"On looking over the Globes attack our attention
was particularly arrested by such remarks as the
following: Information derived from authentic
sources;' we are assured by authority we cannot
question: &c. The same paper expresses kind
hope that if the Secretary catches an officer cam
paigning at Washington, he will kidnap him. 1t
then adds, most significantly and Knowingly, We
have heard it hned that such is his intention
These facts, taken in connection with what we have
heard coming from the Secretary @ the
improperly Of sending members of Congress 10 the
Department TO push the claims of officers, carry TO
our mind almost conviction that the writer in the
Globe, to say the least had his from the Secre-
tarv -
