To SQUIRE BIDDLE-
got your Letter tellen me you had quit
the Bank, and intended, ifyou could possibly
so manage matters, TO 60 to farming. !
know this has always ben your notion, and
that you would do so as soon as you see all
things clear ahead-and a man who has
been cyphering so hard as you have for over
twenty years for the public, now think has
some right to 60 and dig his own potatoes
and hoe his own corn, and take little COM
fort in his own way. But somehow | feel,
Squire, leetle wamblecrop'd, jst as did
when the General left and went home to the
Hermitage and tho you have left in your
place as good man to manage the Bank as
the Gineral has to manage the Government,
hope you will keep an eye on matters and
things, and give as much of your advice in
matters you understand to Mr.. Dunlap and
his Cabinet, as the Gineral does to Mr.. Van
Buren, and his Cabinet The fact is. you and
the Gineral always thought was made OF
pretty much the same kind of grit, and both
on you considerably overwork'd yourselves,
tho the Gineral got the best pay. used to
tell the Gineralesays l, Gineral, you arc
too good natured by half, you not only do
Government work but you dip into pretty
much all kind Of work that no other Presi-
dent ever thought on" and the fact is, the
Gineral did carry matters so far or let other
folks carry him so far that there was few
things going he was not mixed up with-till
1t got so at last that almost every old Lady
about the country wouldn't set hen, without
writing or calling on the Gineral to ask him
which was the most lucky number ofeggs to
put in the nest, IL eggs or l3 eggs; and it al
most wore him 10 skin and bone. believe
you was the only man that was able to out
work the Gineral, and if it hadn't ben that
you was lcetle younger than he was, he'd
made toOth-pick on you as he did of pritty
much all the rest of creation.
But as said afore, am considerable wam-
blecropt at your a,ing public life-for now
that the General has gone 10 home and you
tool feel somewhat Cut out. Mr.. Van Blu
rem don't seem to want my services no how,
and don't complain of that-I did expect to
git chance "Down East" but he selected
General Soda man that outrank'd me all
hollow, as he does pretty much every man
now adays. Howsoever, Ginerdl Scott didn't
forget me. and said that if there was any
hghting to be done among the Loggers, he
knew who he could count on, and look'd me
strait in the face; and sat down and writ a

VIRGINIA ELEcTIoNs-The Approaching
Contest--The intelligence from all quarters
ofthe State, still wears cheering aspect for
the Wing cause. The people are up, and
those who reused them will have good cause
to rue their rising. From the seaboard to
the Ohio, the spirit of resistance TO Execu-
tive supremacy, which once so nobly distin-
guished this ancient Commonwealth, has
burst forth, and CLOVIS with native arGor.-
The people see and feel that the great issue
involved is popular supremacy or the rule Of
one man.
In several counties in Lower Virginia,
where the Wings have never made head be-
fore, they now have candidates in the field
with fair prospects of success. In Middle
Virginia their strenth will be increased, and
throughout the West, the accessions to the
ranks will be immense. We could enume-
rate whole tier of Western counties, which,
in the approaching contest, will for the first
time array themselves under the ample folds
OF the victorious Wing banner.
We speak not in Boosting strain. What
we say is fully warranted by information re-
ceived from various sources which command
our ontidence.-RichmOnd Wing, March 80.
Mississippi.-The Vicksburg Wing of the
18th ult. gives quite gloomy picture of the
monetary affairs of Mississippi. 1t repre-
sents the darkest days of 1887 as presenting
but a faint picture Of what is now exhibited
in every town and county in the State
Goods have been sold at less than half the Or
iginal cost--and lands and negroes have gone
off under the sheriff's hammer for one 6jlh of
! their value.
The venerable Col. John Trumbull, the
aid nf Washington, the man who served his
country in the revolution, and gave faithful
memorial Of the events of those times by his
matches pencil, was rudely challenged at
the polls at New-Haven, while attempting to
give bis vote on Monday. 1t need not be
| added that the challenger was one of the
supporters of Mr.. Van Buren's administra.

Wing Viciory.--The Wings of Portland,
Maine, elected their candidate for Mayor, on
Tuesday, by a majority Of 36l--a gain of lOl
since last year. Tho Wings elected six of

councilmen, a like majority of the wardens,

SILK.-We are no very easy believers in

Have we uow q silk mania? No.
Great zealis now manifested for the culti-

quantity Of silk consumed in the country,
the prices paid for 1t, the increase of popu-
la:ion and diminution ofprice. the capaci-

profits Of the culture at prices much less
than those paid for foreign silk, the public
utility Of the culture in furnishing employ

Chinese mulberry, which will afford a
silk producing plantation in the second

bow paid for mulberry trees. On the con
,rary, we see that eagerness to obtain them
which is founded upon knowledge Of re-
suits demonstrated to be easily atta,nabte.
The prices paid for trees in New York, on

the productiveness fthe Chinese mulber-
ry. these prices are not beyond their value.
Trees two years old, were sold for four
dollars. But the planter of such Tree
will find that in next Autumn, lis produce,
in trees worth no more than25 cents, will
be worth five times this cost, clear of all
expenses.
But we shall be told that If trees increase
so rapidly, the whole country will soon be
filled with them. Let US reckon. To
produce all the silk now consumed in the
U. States. would require more trees than
the whole stock now in the counlry,would
produce for the next five years. But shall
we be able to produce silk enough for
home consumption? Not in five years.
But we venture to predict that in ten years
we shall supply ouselves, and export largely
to England, Of raw silk for her mauufac-
lures. The Middle, Southern and Wes-
tern States equal China for the production
Of silk aud therefore excel any part of Eu.
rope. Then what should prevent silkirom
becoming one of our exports! About for
ty-6ve years since, many lhoug ght that the
United State could not produce cotton. Let
cultivators of silk remember this and perse
we're. We see no mania yet, in the eager
ness of farmers to purchase Mulberry trees
for silk orchards, When we do. we shall
cry aloud aud spare not, for we have no
great respect for delusions,
