Morus Nntticaulis The attention
which has been given this year to the
cultivation Of the Morus Multicaul;s or
Chinese Mulberry tree, and the success
and profit which have followed these
exertions, promise well for the country.
we have already noticed several in
stances success in this branch of bu.
siness, and on Tuesday we had an Cd.
portunity OF witnessing the progress o {
another experiment upon the farm of Mr..
liatcb, about mile above Camden
where early in the season about fifteen
hundred branches of the Morus Multi.
caulis were "laid down." and careful AT.
tehtIon given 10 them. From these
nave sprung up twenty thousand trees.
some OF which we saw measured as
they stood, and they had at that time
a,'ained the astonishing height of Eve feet
eieven inches; the whole of W hich had
grown tins season, as the branch from
winch they sprung was placed hori.
zontaily on the earth, and these trees
have sprung up from the beaItbful buds
upon the planted twigs. The height
oil these trees, attained in such short
time' was not the only remarkable cir.
eumslance which arrested our attention.
he whole field seemed to be one mass Of
elevated foliage, every twig bearing al
most IDnumerable leaves MEASURING ma.
ny OF them. twelve inches in length bv
eleven in breadth, which lay over each
other like plates Of armour. or no, To
drop the military figure, like the rich
dropping feathers Of an officers plume.
On inquiry, we found that the mode OF
producing the trees from the twigs of
the Morus Multieaulis, rendered almost
certain return OF twenty for one, or, as
the brokers would say, two thousand
per cent.--Phiiad. U. s. GAG.

TO THE .puBI.Ic

Having heard seve, al untavorable reports
in relation 10 the conduct of MIR. George
Mayse Of Bath, on the trial of the NEGROES
charged with the murder OF his two little
children, l am induced by sense of Justice
10 Mr.. Mayse and his friends, TO place the
subject IN proper light belure the public.
The charges, AS l have heard them, nre,
that MT M"yse employed me as counsel 10
defend the negroes and used every exer,ion
TO prevent their conviction.
Both these charges are destitute OF the
slightest foundation in truth.
The history ofmy connection " it'll the case
was 'h's Being IN attendance upon the Aus
gus, quarterly court for Bath, in which
Pract'se, during the week preceding the tri
al of the negroes for the murder, the magis.
traies who composed the cour, held consul
tdiion and depuied one of their own body to
request me TO remain until the next week
To attend The trial. Their reason Tor adopt
ing that course was, because there were no
lawyers residing at Bath, except Mr. Mayse,
the father oi the deceased children, and MIR.
Ierrili, who had undertaken Ia conduct the
prosecution. They knew therefore that as
the law required that counsel should ne as.
signed Tor The prisoners, they cnnld not com
ply WIN ITS requisiiions, aud that the case
would have 20 I've continued until the Sep
tember court, unless |, or some other gentle
man OF the bar, would consent 10 remain.
Under these circumstances did not feel al
liberty 10 decline the invitation ofthe court.
and accordingly remained and conducted the
defence. he purpose Of my stay was, be-
lieve, publicly known, and presume
MT. Mayse was acquainted with il, hu, al
though saw him frequently, and had &C.
cnsIon to 30 TO his Office 10 get hook hich
thought might be useful in the defence, he
seemed, with a commendable llelicacy. stu
dlously 10 avoid all communication with
me on the subject On The morning of tie
trial, the court made an order assigning me
as counsel fur the prisoners, and conducted
Their defence accordingly.
From the COMMENCEMENT Of the trial TO
It's c"nolusion, Mr.. Mayse sat by the atlor-
hey i"r ine Commonwealth, aiding in the
prosecution and man ifssiing as thong h; The
strongest disposition TO have the prisoners
convicted; and during The whole inves,iga,
non II seemed TO me that Mr.. Mayse's cons
duct was marked by the greatest degree of
Prortiety, and was altogether such as became
ihe character Of a humane, uprigh, and hon
cradle man.
