Correspondence o. tho Charleston Courier.
WAsHISGToN, Jan. %.

Mr.. Clay continued his speech o-day,
on the distribution bill, making more
strenuous and ahored effort on that sub
iect that he had ever before made. He
commenced, however, by referring to a
matter not necessarily connected with the
question, bu, which had been incidentally
brought by some one into the debate-the
trade between France and the U. States.
He said that it now stood on very une-
DUAL and to us an unfavorabIe footing. On
our raw material. Cotton, France levied a
dn,y Of 2 cents per lb. This raw material
after being wrought up in France, was
made worth three or four hundred dullars
a pound, and yet we admitted that manu-.
facture as we'll as the other manufactures
and produce of France free of duty. The
balance of trade was always unfavorable
10 us. In saying this he did not wish to
ntter one sentmen, uniriendIy to France.
He had anxiously laborcd, on the contra
ry, to increase The trade with her, and had
sought, by Liilusing our trade, to break up
the concentration Of it in The ports Of one
power. 1t was through his means that a
clause was introduced in the tariff Of 1882,
making difference often per ceat in the
duty on silks from beyond the Cape Of
Good Hope aud those from this side oft.
Itwas with extreme regret that he had
heard sentiment from venerable friend
of his, in the other House, (Mr. Adams) to
the effect that Louis PHILIPPE had no right
to the throne of France, either by descent
or conquest, or other title. He was sorry
such a sentiment had been uttered, and
he could not concur in il. France, by the
revolution of 1881. placed Louis PHILIPPE
on the throne, aud for ten years she had as
sented 10 this movement, In his opinion,
this gave him better title than could have
been won by conquest, or obtained by the
accident of birth. He could not refrain
from adding that this distinguished mon
arch had governed his people, in the midst
of unprecedented difficulties, with more
firmness and wisdom than any of his con.
temporapies: and further, all christendom
was indebted to his moderation and con-
duct for preventing general and disas-
trous war, which, once commenced, would
have involved all The civilized nations of

THE SILK CULTURE.

We have observed, with pleasure, that the al
tention ofAgriculturists. and others throughout
the United States, have been turned TO the pro-
duction ofsilk.
Many embarked in the business last year,
and ifthe spirit does moi evaporate, and permit
the abandonment ofthe enterplize before it has
had fair trial, our country will ultimately be
able to supply her own wants. instead Of spend
ing from ten TO twenty-five millions per an
uum, in the purchase of foreign silks. And
this may be accomplished without substracting
essentially from the aggregate OF our other pro-
ducts, as the labor Of children and others who
are unequal 10 more rugged tasks, will serve
to perform nine-tcntlIs Of the work required.
while the field will open new prize 10 female
industry, which has been too long fettercd a.
mong lls-a field NOR favorable to health and
more congcnial 10 the independence Of Amer.
lean character than the prccarious tolls of do.
mestic service. And not only will the now I'M.
productive labor, or rather capacity for labor
Of our country find boundless employment
but the light and sterile soils which have beer
exhausted by improvident cultivation, or more
naturally un(ruitful, will thus he made produc
tive beyond the widest dream Of their propri
etors.
But all This requires time and patience, anc
that skill which is only found i'll connexiol
with experience.
Ifany expect TO become suddenly rich b,
the Silk Culture, it is hardly aprophecy, to sa!
they ale doomed to disappointment. Bnt hi
who commences on a small scale now, with al
the lights which the records of experience, ant
others can give him. and is so rational as not t,
calculate on making fortune by business
until he has acquired practical knowledge o
it, will be almost certain in our judgement
eventually 10 reap 4 satisfactory reward for hi
outlay and industry.
We trust then that this sudden and yer,
general direction of capital, enter prize and in
dustry 10 the Silk culture. will prove no nler
bubble, or transmit enthusiasm. Georgia ha
already made great advancementn this brancl
OF agriculture, and we trust the time is not fa
distant, when our own State will more seri
ously reflect upon its importance.
The visionary and the giddy, who hav,
rushed into it with The absurd idea of making
fortune of-hand, will of course as abruptly a
bandon it when they have met with the dsap
pointment which certainly awaits them. Blu
those who have understood their business fron
the outset, and entered upon it with intelligence
and common sense, will be sure to find thei
ultimate advantage in perseverance, while they
will add millions to the production and perma
nent wealth of our country.

MIR. Webster has certainly discovered
the difference "twixt tweedle dunn and
tweedle dee." In his reply TO MIR. Cal
houn he repudialed and secuted the INFER
ence that he was in favor Of assuming the
debts of the States-said he had ever been
opposed 10 it, was so still, and should set
himself agains, every attempt of the kind.
But he was in favor of distributing the re-
venue from the public lands among the
States. He opposed assuming their debts,
and only went for paying them. He
would not have the Federal Government!
do the unconstitutional thing Of issuing its
stock in place Of that Of the States, and
redeem it by the means ofthe high tariff
would only have the U. States Treasury
emptied among The States, and then the
Federal Government contract conStitu-
tional public debt on its own account, 10
be redeemed by tariff. What singular
consolation it must be 10 large class OF
men, to be assured from such high author
ity, that the difference between right and
wrong lies wholly in the pretext we may
use 10 dress up our actions, and in no sort
either in the motives or the inevitable ell
feet. Will not Mr.. Webster favor the

Young Msn.-Most young men consider
il a great misfortune TO be poor, or not to
have capital enough to establish themselves
a, their outse, in life, in good business
This is a mistaken notion. So far from
poverty being misfortune to him, if we
may Judge from what we every day behold,
it is really blessing; the chance is more
than ten to one who starts with plenty OF
money. Let any one look back twenty
wears, and see who commenced business
at that time with abundant means, and
trace them down to the present day-how
many of these new boaIs of wealth and

have become poor, lostlher places in socie-
