Mantfield Centre, Ct., Die. 18, 1633. DEAR SIR,-¥ urs of the 30th ult. has remained so long unanswered that you may think me indifferent to the subjects of your inquiry. Not so, sir; I feel a deep interest in the growing prosperity of our country, in ts various and multiplied manufacturing establishments, which are constantly springing into existence, and in none more so than in the production and manufacture ol silk; none which presents, in my estimation greater encouragement, both to the agriculturist and the manufacturer-none which promises fairer to become of extensive utility and profit to this country.
With regard to the cultivation of the mulberrynnd the growing of silk in this place, it may not be generally known that the business has been successfully prosecuted here for more than seventy years; but, though gradually increasing during this period, there has been but very little improvement in the method of conducting the business, or in the application of the raw material to manufacturing purposes, any further than the production of sewing silk and twist, and this almost cxtlnsivery confined to the labor of the family, upon tile domestic spinning-wheel. But one thing has been abundantly demonstrated; that is, that the white mulberry is easily cultivated, and that the rearing of the silk-worm, and the production of silk, notwithstanding all the particularity, minuteness, and mystery, with which the subject has been treated, and invested, my be profitably pursued, with but little more knowlege or care than is requisite for the successful rearing of pigs, or "poultry, Shelter them from cold, storms and •wind, and feed them when hungry, whether it be in acorn-house, barn, cider-mill house, or labora tory, built on purpose for the business, a profitable •CTop of si!k may be produced, I would not by tiiis remark be thought to undervalue enterprise and improvement, or to treat iightly particu ar at tention to convenience and nea'ness in every branch of agriculture. I highly value all the associations and societies of the present day, formed for the advancement and improvement more patience than the old reel required, produce a much handsomer and more valuable article than by the former method. I have now by me a sample of a few ounces, reeled bv one of our ladies, which I designed to have presented at the New-York Fair, and which I think in every respect would compete with the production of any country. Thus far. then, I think we may safely say, we can and do succeed. We have also two small silk manufacturing establishments in this town, propelled by water power, in successful operation, at which single thrown silk, organzine, tram, and and every kind of silk, is prepared with ease, by persons bred to the business. The machinery is made in the manner of the most approved English machinery. At these establishments all the silk raised in this vicinity, and reeled on the improved reel as before stated, finds a ready lHarket. Some broad goods have been made, but the business seems not yet to be sufficiently matured to go immediately into the higher branches of manufacture, but must for a time Lie confined to the smaller and more common articles of silk fabrics, A great proportion of the silk now prepared at our factories here is made use of in the manufacture of the Tuscany grass bonnets.
Having extended my remarks to a maeh greater length than I anticipated, I will mention as an apology, that having seen most of ihe publications on the subject which have been circulated in this country in answer to the call of Congress for information, and being well acquainted with the perfectly simple manner in which the business has ever been conducted here, I felt that a plain statement of facts, similar to those I have here given, was necessary, to counteract in some measure the influence of that scientific minuteness with which the subject was treated in those publications, and might be of public utility. Should it appear to you that I am correct in this opinion, you are at liberty to make such use of this communication as you may think proper.
Another subject of your inquiry is, whether silkworm eggs can be procured here; in reply to which, all I can say is. I have heretofore, when applied to, found lio diiliculty in obtaining them, to any extent culled for, and presume there would bo none now. The price, from 6 to 8 cents per thousand; and as they are attached to papers, those papers may be folded and packed in small boxes and sent safely to any part of the country by stage or otherwise.
When at New-York, last spring, I purchased a small lot of the Morns Multicaulis, for the purpose of introducing them into this silk growing region. They flourished finely last summer, and if our winter climate does not prove too severe for them, bid fail to be an important acquisition to our Bilk growers. As 1 am frequently applied to fioma distance for information with regard to the value of cocoons, and of the raw silk, I will hate state FIRE,-The extensive Flouring Mill in the vil-Missionary cause.

So with regard to the rearing of the silk-worm, there is reason to fear that the minute particularity and delicate attention to temperature, food, cleanliness, &.c. &c. with which the subject has been treated by most writers, may have deterred many from engaging in it; but let them be told, and truly too, that without thermometer, hot-house, stove-room, or laboratory, thesilk-wurin maybe, at the proper season, hatched by the usual warmth of the kitchen. and that with a rough board to lie on, and a corn-house or barn to shelter them from wind and wet, guarded also from the depredations of rats, mice, and fowls, and well supplied with the white mulberry leaf, will produce a profitable crop of silk, they may be induced to try ; and having once engaged in the business and found it practicable, n.ay then attend to all the improvements which experience and sound wisdom may dictate. Many persons in this town, who have been for twenty or thirty years'successfudy engaged in the rearing of silkworms, should you talk to them about theimometers, hot-houses, and laboratories, and would not know what you meant; yet, I doubt not, a due at-were commenced in due season, but owing to the prevalence of afresh wind from the west, the inflation was not finally completed until ten minutes before fiveo'clock, P.

Wood's Hardware Store (occupied by him as a dwelling) was discovered to be on fire. Tlie alarm was instantly given, aud our citizens hastened to the spot; but the tire had made such progress that not a hope could be entertained of saving the building, which in a few moments was wrapped in flames Every exertion was made tn save the adjoining buildings, but to no purpose. The fire almost instantly communicated to a dwelling house belonging to Mr. Wood, and occupied by Dr. Soulhworih, thence to a small building also owned by Mr. \V and occupied by Mr. A. Slyter as a dwelling, on the north; and to the house owned by Mrs. Rowley, and occupied by her and Mr. L.

LIFE OF LAFAYETTE.
Born Sept. 1, 1757. Died May 20, 1834. LAFVYETTE, Gilbert Motier (fortnerlv marquis <{e,) was born at Chavagnac, near Brioude, in Auvergne, Sept. C, 1757 was educated in the college of Louis le Grand, in Paris, placed at court, as an officer inoneof the guards of honor, and, atthe age of 17. was married to the grand daughter of me duke of Noailles. It was under these circumstances, that the young mar<piis de Lafayette entered upon a career so little to he expected of a youth of vast fortune, of high rank, of powerful connections, at the most brilliant and fascinating court in the world. He left France secretly for America, in 1777, and arrived at Charleston. South Carolina, April 25, being then 19 years old. The state of this country it is well known, was, at that time, most gloomy; a feeble army, without clothing or iirmj, was with difficulty kept together before a nrmrinmrncmy ; to;.r gnvenMHentwaswiihout resources or credit, and the American agents in Paris were actually obliged to confess that they could not furnish the young nobleman with a conveyance. "Then," said he, "I wi.I fit out a vessel myself;" and he did so. The sensation produced in this country, by bis arrival, was very great; it encouraged the almost disheartened people to hope for succor and sympathy from one of the most powerful nations in Europe. Immediately on his arrival, Lafayetle received the oiler of a command in the continental army, but declined it, raised and the colors of the city of Paris.) July 2G, Lafayette added to this cockade the whit? of the royal arms, declaring at the s.ime time the tricolor ahrtutdgo round the world. On ihe march of the popnlaca u> Versailles (October 5 and 6.) the m-liona! guar».N claimed lo bfl led thither., 1/ifa.yeite reused vefiinnd, 1 until, Saying receivel off, and atiiveii at 10 o'clock, alter having been on horseback from bf d l i g before daylight. lie requeued that the interior posts of the r.hnlcn might be committed to nim ; but this request was refused, and the outer posts only were entrusted to the national goaTps.-This was the night on which the assassins rnurdered two of the queen's guards, and were proceeding to further acts of violence, when Lafivette, at the head of the national troops, put an end to the disorder, and saved the lives of th<> royal family. In the morning be accompanied them to Paris.
On the establishment of the Jacobin club at Paris, he organized, with Builv, then Mayor of Paris, the opposing club of Feuillians. Jan. 2 f ), 1799, he supported tho motion for the abolition of titles of nobility, Ironi which period he renounced his own, and has never since resumed it. The constitution of a representative monarch, which was the object of his wishes, was now proposed, and July 13, 1790, was appointed for its sceeptmWe by t 1 e king and the nation, and hi the name of 4,000,000 national guards, Lafayeite swore fidelity to the constitution. Declining the dangerous power of constable of France, or gener-alisimo of the national guards of the kingdom, alter having organized the national militia, and defended the king'from popular violence, he retired to his i itates. The iiiiiun agauist France (1792) soon called him from his retirement. Being appointed one of three major-generals m 'he command of the French urmies, be established discipline, and defeated the enemy at Philligvil|.>, Maubeuge an I Florenn s, when bis career of success was interrupted by the domestic factions of his country, Lafayette openly denounced the terrible Jacobins, in bis letter of June 19, in which he declared that the enemies of the revolution, under the mask of popular leaders, were endeavoring to stifle liberty under the excesses of licentiousness. June20, he appeared aKhe pay He lived in the family of the commander in- .quipped a body of men at Ins own expense, and Dar of l ™ assembly, to vindicate his conduct, and then entered the service as a volunteer, without demand the punishmentof the guilty authors of the violence. But the Mountain bad already overthiown the constitution and nothing couid be effected. Lafavette then offered to conduct the kng and his family to Compiegne. This proffer being declined, he returned to the army, which he endeavored to rally round the constitution. June 30, he my burnt in effigy at the Palais-Royal, and Aug. 5, was accused of treason before the assembly. Still he declared himself openly against the proceedings of August 10; but. finding himself unsupported by his soldiers, he determined to leave chief, and won his full afieerion and confidence. He was appointed major-general in July, and in September, was wounded at Brandvwine. He was employed in Pennsylvania a :d Rhode Island m 1778, and, after receiving the thanks of the country for his important services, embarked at Boston, in January, 1779. for France, where ivvas thought he could as-is.1 the cause more effect tually for a time. The treaty concluded between.
France and America, about the same period, was by his personal exertions, made .-fret live in our fa-»or, and lie relumed to America with the intellig«U*O ' .-..»-w"<*v>*rf<eW*rt-*»#*' KWiM> liiis country. Immediately on hi*arrival,.fee entered the service, and received the command of a body of infantry of about 2000 men, which he clothed and equipped, in p :it, at his own expense.

On his retinn. he found Paris in posspssion of the enemy; and, a few days after (July 8), the doors ofthe repi ;si ntatives chamber vv:is closed, and guarded by Prussian troops. Lafayette c nducied a: number of the members to the house of Lnnjuinais the ajdent, where they drew up I his practice is sustainable upon no grounds, more defensible than mere custom.

Out of your constant reaiUrs. In conversing with the overseer about these floggings, I had more tlinn once expressed the pair! and horror I felt at seeing that negro slavery was accompanied by so much "suffering. The overseer endeavored to persuade me, contrary to the evidence of my own sense-, that the punishments were not severe, and assured me that llnre were, moreover, negroes who had never been flogged in their lives. I afterwards questioned the head bookkeeper, Mr. Burrows, on this point and asked him if lie could point out a single working negro on the estate, male or female, single or married, who hud not been flogged? After some reflection he replied, that he could not specify a single one who had not been punished with a cart •whip. Now there were 277 s'iaves on that estate, of whom a very small proportion were children, and yet a man who had been among them for only two years, did not know of one (with the exception of mere children) wh» had not been once or oftener subjected lo this cruel, degrading, and revolting punishment.

THREE MONTHS IN JAMAICA
After these conversations I made every exertion to ascertain this fact, by making inquiries among themselves, as opportunities occurred. The general reply to such interrogations was-"Ah! Massn, me been flog many n time by Busha." On putting thequt'stiou to an aged negro who had formerly been employed to take care of the sheep, but was now in the stable, he said he was flogged many a time.-And what were you flogged for? I inquired. " When sheep go astray-"lien sheep sick-when sheep die-then," said he, " Busha put me down and flog me till me bleed.'" And bow many lashes, I asked, did Busha ever uive you ! " Ah ! Massa,', eaid the poor old man, " when me down na ground, and dey fl"g me till me bleed, me sometin-r else to do den for count de lashes." This same man, as he was saddling my hoist: on (he day 1 finally left (he estate, made a remark that struck me. II Now, Massa," said he, " you see how poor negro be 'pressed [oppressed.] We no mind de work-but dey 'press us too bad." I asked another negro, a married man and the fafher of a familv, if eitht-r he or his wife had ever been flogged. He replied that both be and his wife bad been flogged frequently: and further remarked, that it wi.s very disheartening that after trying "to be Hood negro," they could not escape the lash any more than the worst slaves on the estate. This man was a Baptist-a very religious and exemplary man. He IMKI been a member of the Baptist Chapel at St. Ann's Bay, which I saw lying in ruins. lie could read a little, and I gave him a hymn book. This last mentioned slave was a carpenter. I therefore asked the head carpenter (a Scotchman, named Walden) if he had ever (logged tl is man. He replied that he had, and added, that he was obliged to floj; all the slaves under bis charge. He never took them out with him into the wood, be said without the cart-whip, so that if any of them dni not please biai he might put him down and give him a flogging.
I asked other similar questions, and receired, in every insta: ce, answers to the same effect-all proving the truth of the head book keeper's statement that he knew not a single wording slave ou the estate who had not been flogged.
I may here mention that on meeting with a slave of the name of Johuslone, belonging to tiie neighboring estate of Green Park, 1 asked him if he had ever l>een flogged. He replied-"Yes, Massa, me been flo<:, and been work in ehsim threemonths and ihree days." On inquiring further, I found this man's otfenee was going to the Methodist chapel, (Mr. Whitehouse's) and that for this olFence he had been aruelly flogged by order of his owner, Mr. Hurlovk, (not by the over-»ter) uiid worked in chains for three months.
During my residence nt New Ground, the St. Ann's work house gang (of convict slares) was employed in digging cane holes on'the plantation. I had thus frequent opportunities of seeing and converging with them. I shall never forget the impression I received from the first near »ieiy of these wretched people. The son of the captain, or superintendent of the

LEGALIZED SLAVERY. The guilt of slaveholding is increased by being committed according to law.
A law which consigns a race of men to insult to that Bein^ whose law is, " Thuu j sanctions iniquity.
i under protection of such n law, possesses himself of human bones and sinews, adds j rebellion to injustice. He not only revolts I from God, but he joins a standard of re-j volt. It is a wicked thing to fur»;vk« the he marshalled enemy. Mure over, there is a deliberation about legalized wickedness which strips it of all right to excuse itself by the infirmities of human nature.
Remembering that in our country the people make the laws, let us turn to some of the laws which pertain to slavery, and see if we can estimate llie amount of cool, determined, calculated wickedness which it must require to carry them into practice. The tenure by which the slaves are held is thus described iu the code ol Louisiana, " A slave is one who is in the power of a master to whom be belongs. The mas-j ier may sell him, dispose of his person, j his industry and his labor: be can do I nothing, possesses nothing, nor acquire: any thing but what must belong to master." [Civil C 'de,Art. 35.] The following is from work house (a person named Drake) accompanied tne to the field the first day I went out to see this srang ; and as we went along, he remarked that I should probably be somewhat shocked by their appearance, but ought tf) bear in mind that these negroes were convicted malefactors-re i els, thieves, and felons. On approaching the spot I witnessed indeed a most a> feeting and appalling spectacle. TI«J gang, consisting of forty-five negroc, male and female, were all chained by tbn ecks in couples: and in one instunee I observed a man and woman chained to gether. Two stout drivers were standing fiver them, each armed both with a cartwhip and a. cat-o'nine-tails. Nearly th< whole ga'ig were working without any •covering on the upper part of I heir hndies; and on i>oing up to them, with a view to closer inspection, i found that their smelts, from the shoulders lo the buttocks, were scarred and lacerated in nil directions, by the frequent application of the cat and ihe carl-whip, which the drivers used at discretion, independently of severe flogginirs by order ol the superintendent. I could not find a single one who did not bear on his body evident marks of this savage discipline. Some were marked with lar^e weals, and wiih what in Yorkshire we should call trrethes r>r ridges of flesh healed over. Others were crossed with long scabbed scars across the buttocks ; on otbcis, again, toe gashes were raw and recent. Altogether it was ihe most bonid sight that ever my eyes beheld. One of them had on a coarse shirt or smock frock, which was actually dyed red with Kis blood. The drivers slruck some of them severely, while I was present, for falliii" behind the rank in their work.
1 asked one of Ihe drivers what were the offences lor which these people had been condemned. He replied that some of them were convicts from Trelawney parish, who had been concerned in the late rebellion; others were thieves Mid runaways; a'ul, pointing out three individuals (two men and a woman), he added that these had been taken up while martial law was iu force-for praying/-I asked him if I might be permitted to speak to those three persons; and, meeting with no objection, 1 went forward and Conversed with them. One of thvin, whose ualne was Rogers, in reply to my inquiries, informed me that be bad been condemned to the work house gang for meeting with other negroes for prayer.-The other man, whose name I have forgot, told me that this was the second time that he bad been sent to work in chains solely fer this offence-namely, joining with some of his friends and relatives in social prayer to his Maker and Redeemer! In order to assure myself further of tiie truth of this extraordinary fact, I made inquiry respecting it of some of the most intelligent negroes on New Ground estate. to whom the particulars respecting these people's condemnation were known, and received such full ccrrohoration of their statement as left me no doubt whatever of its truth. Indeed I soon found good reason to believe that on many estates there are few offtnees for which the unhappy slaves are punished with more certainly or severity than praying. '.'.' Drake, the superintiiedent of this work house gang, came often to j\'ew Ground, while they were employed there, to see that they did sufficient work (for it was paid for by the piece), und one day he was invited by the overseer to dine with us. After dinner, while he and 1 were standing al the door, he proceeded lo abuse thfriends of negro emancipation in England, in very violent terms, and added, that ifi ever 1 uttered u word unfriendly to them (the slave-holders) he would him great ent " Trie city has passed an ordinance, by which any person titftt tmtehes any person of color, slave or free, to read or write, or causes such persons to be so taught, is sub- . , . ..

A SOUTHERNER.
" Am I not a man and a brother ?" In December of 1333,1 landed at IW-Orleans, in the steamer VV . It was after night, dark and rainy. The passengers were called out ol the cabin, from (he enjoyment of a fire, which the cold damp atmosphere rendered very comfortable, by a sudden shout of "catch him-catch him-catch the negro." Thecry was answered by a hundred voices-'-catch him-kill him," and a rush from every direction toward our boat, indicated that the object of pursuit was near. The next momenl we heard a man plunge into the river, a few paces above us. A crowd gathered upon the shore, with lamps, and stones, and clubs, Jtill crying ••catch him-kill him-catch him-shoot him." I soon discovered the poor man. He hid taken refuge under the prow of another boat, and wui standing in the water up to his waist. The angrf vociferation of his pursuers, did not intimidate him. He defied them all. "Don't you dare o come near me, or I will sink you in the river/' He was armed with despair. For a momei.t, the mob was palsied by the energy of his threatnings. They were afraid to go to him with a skiff, but a jumberof them went on to the boat and tried to seize him. They threw a noose rope down repeatedly, that thnj might pull him up by the neck; but he planted his head firmly against the boat, and dasiied ih« rupe away with his arms. One of them took a long bar of wood, and leaning over the prow, endeavored to strike him on the head. The blow must have shattered the skull, but it did not reach low enough. The monster raised up the heavy club again, and said, " Com^ out now, you old rascal, or die." " Strike," said the negro,strike-shiver my brains now,-I want to die ;" and down went the club again, without striking This was repeated several times. The mob, seej their effjrts fruitless, became more enraged and threatened to stone him, if he did not surrender himself into their hands. He again defied them, and declared that he would drown himself in the river, before they should have him. They then resorted to persuasion, and promised they would not hurt him. " I'll die first" was his only reply; and he cursed, cursed, cursed .' Oh! what awful oaths 1 they ring iu my ears yet! He cursed the people, he cursed God and his own soul. Even th.: furious mob was awed, and for a while stood After standing in tlie cold water for an hour, the miserable being began to fail. We observeiyiim gradually sinking-his voice grew weak andlremulous-yet he continued to curse! In the midst of his oaths, he uttered broken sentences-" I didn't atenl the meat-I didn't steal-my master livesmaster-master lives up the river-(his voice began to gurgle in his throat, and he was so chilled that bis lre!h chattered audibly)-I didn't-steal-I didn't 6teal-my-my master-my-1 want to see my master-I didn't-no-my mas-you wan, -you want to kill me-I didn't steal the"-. His last words could just bo heard as be sunk under the water.
During this indescribable scene, not one of the hundred tiiat stood around made any effirt to save the man until he was apparently drowned. He was then dragged out and stretched on the bow of the boat, and noon sufficient means were used for h'u recovery. The brutal Captain ordered him to be taken off hit boat-declaring, wiih an oath, that he would throw him into the river again, if he was not immediately removed. I withdrew, sick and horrified with this appalling exhibition cf wickedness.
Upon inquiry, I learned that the colored man j lived some fifty miles up the Mississippi; that he ! had been charged with stealing some article from j the wharf; wa« fired upon with a pistol, and pur-•tied by the mob. In reflecting upon this unmingled cruelty-this insensibility to suffering and disregard of life-X exclaimed, " Is there no flesh in man's obdurate heart ?" One poor man, chased like a wolf by a hundred blood hounds, yelling, howling, and gnashing I their teeth upon him,-plunges into the cold river I to seek protection! A crowd of spectators witness the scene, with all the composure with which a ; Roman populace would look upou a gladiatorial 'show. Not a voice heard in the sufferer's behalf. At length ll.e powers of nature give way ; the blood flows back to the heart and fietzi!»-theteeth chatter-the voice tr-inble*, and dies in blasphemy-while th» victim, without even a straw to grasp at, drops down into his grave.
O, what H disregard of the soul, to let it go thus uupardoned and uublest, to the bur of God ! and yet a respoctable minister of the gospei stood near and witntsied the itpectacle! The heavens were dark and lowering, and it did seem as though God
