AMERICAN BEET SUGAR.

We have before us three samples of
sugar, the first, we believe, ever manu-
lactured in this country from the beet.
DIR. Sleigh. who has given attention to
the subject, has manufactured three
samples from the common pale red beet.
The samples which we have are in the
raw state, not having been submitted to
the refining process. They resemble
the common brown sugar of the gIoce-
ries.
DIR. Sl,igh mentions that he has in
the course Of the past summer, perform
ed t:!any experiments. at least hun
dred, on various kinds of beets, and on
various quantities, varying from ten
pounds to thousand pounds, and he is
Satisfied there is an essential difference
between the betts of this country quot

the operator must consequently regulate
his chemical agents accordingly.

ty to manufacture beet sugar in the u
nited States, will be fairly tested.-U.

An awful and heart-rending catastro-
phe took placeat Greenville, S. G.. about
the Sd December.-A young lady,
daughter of John Crowder, was return
ing home from neighbours where she
had been on heightened visit, wkeh
she met her brother returning from a
military muster. He Jokingly said to
his sister, I have a good mind to shoot
you for being away so long. at the
same time raising his rifle TO his shoulder
and swapping it, when it went off and
the ball lodged in her body. He ran
home for assistance and returned with
his father, when they found the poor
girl in the last agoniss of death.-The

BLOODY AFFRAY.

On Monday morning there was a dis
gracefully revolving spectacle of bn,chery
exhibited at the corner of Main and
Pearl streets, in this city. the actors in
which were three Young men from the
North. a quarrel had originated the
evening before from a dispute on a tri-
fling question. The adverse parties arm
ed on NJ onday morning. and made our
usually peaceful streets scene of gore.
Public sentiment was outraged and in
suited by such reckless disregard of
character and til: danger to peaceable
citizens from the use of pistols, sword
canes and Bowie knives, in crowded
and busting street, and the feeling Of alb
horrence excited by the exhibition of
ungovernab!e and vindirtve passion. has
resulted in public meeting, the details
Of which we give below. The charac.
ter of Mississippi for frequent scenes OF
violence and bloodshed has not been
earned by her native citizens. A gen
t!eman of the highest intelligence and
responsibility who has been acquainted
with the city of Natchez for the last
thirty five wears, twenty of which he
has been resident. canno, remember but
three duels in which the parties were
native Mississippians.
1t is well for the young men concern
ed in the ARRAY, that there will probably
be no loss of life, although one was borne
apparently Iifeless from the pavement,

other was carried away SO cut up with

body Of citizens of Natchez, large meet
ing was held at the Court-house, at IL
o'clock, Oh Thursday of the present
week. Colonel Sessions was called 10
the chair, and J. Rawlings appointed
secretary. The object Of the meeting
was explained iii resolution offered by
Judge Winchester, the purpose CT which
was TO arouse and concentrate public o.
pinion against the too common and in
creasing practices of dueIing, street
fighting, carrying concealed weapons
and lynching. The resolution also pro-
.Tided for the election Of committee to
draft report expressive of the sense oil
the meeting.
The report, which was unanimously
adopted, expressed strong abhorrence
Of the specified practices of duelling

aud lynchins; and invoked the good
sense OF the community and the maj
ty Of public opinion TO aid in their sup.
preston.
