EXTRACT OF letter from gen,emop at Sa-
pelo, in Georgia, TO his friend in Beaufort,
S. G.. respecting the growth of the sugar
cane.
You are DESTROYS of knowing something
&C the progress made with the sugar cane.
On Sapelo Mr.. Spalding has about % ~
ores MIR. GearY about acres; MIR. Car
hochan, near Darien, IL OF IL acres: all in
a most promising way, and said by MIR.
Carnochan, who has been sugar planter IN
Jamaica for number Of years, and now
manages for his brother, to be eqltal to any
in the West Indies, and nota doubt remains
on his mind of success. MIR. Spaldiig is in
forwardness with his works. and q fair ex
pertinent will be made the coming season
by him. Five hundred dollars per acre
has been refused by Mr.. Geary for his cane
for plants. 10 take the chance of it as it
stands. MIR. g. intends preparing his cane
for syrup only, and il it is correct that he
has engaged all that he can make in this
way at one dollar per gallon, Mr.. Carno-
chan sars the prrce dis VIII be eJ1al to 1900
dollars per acre. l know this will amaze
you. as itwouid any one unacquaintcd with
the production. Mr.. Carnochan says that
Cane of the same description in jamaica
would give exceeding two ons Of sugar per
acre allow that the juices may not be so
rich and maturcd es in the WEI Indies, &
deduct one half, will not that answer ? Ma
Tor Wood and DIR. Grant have some Cane
on lands of a similar quality to yours that is
very Ene. These l have no. seen. Mr..
Carnochan tells me that last year DR.
Grants was superior to any he had seen
Canes, to the extent Of few acres, may by
now engaged at i cents per cane. At
this rate MIR. Geary's cane, by actual cal.
culation, will give him 240O dollars per acre
His cans will average Is perfect canes to
the hill; msny of the hills exceed TWEEN

SAVANNAH, October H.
By letters which we have sean frcm S..
Mary's it appears that the patriots have en-
tirely dispersed. and gone to their respec-
tive homes. The force at Amelia Island, is
considered perfectly adequate TO the pro;ec-
ton OF that place. The town OF Fernando
r., is now completely fortified /; and it seems
that every exertion will be made, in order
30 give security to property in that Island.
