RAISING SILK IN VIRGINIA.

RAISING SILK IN VIRGINIA..
VIII wonders never cease VIII the history of
our country always be n matter OF astonishmen 10
ourselves If all that have heard about " the
system OF raising Sikn in the United States, more
particularly in the South, be true, (and demonsra
ton it is affirmed by many, has forever settled the
question of its practcahty) we may become totally
independent OF our Asiallc neighbois, beyond the
great expanse, who require hard money in payment
of silk goods, an article Of universal demand, among
all civilized nations, and assume position IN the
commercial world. The calculations which have
been made appear to have been based the latest
and most accurate intell gcncc, received from Eu-
rope, as well practical operations, which have
been going in the Northern States, and promises
from all that be asccralncd AT ITS present STAGE
to outsrip the anticipations oithe most lively ina
ginaton.
The idea Of raising silh in Virginia, either for do
nestle purposes or expectation, is a new onc-but
