The Sugar Game Expedition.

An expedition similar to that which was
SEN to Arabia and Asia Minor to procure
came's, has been fitted out, under the direction
of the COMMISSIONS Of Patents, to proceed to
! Scuth America for the purpose Of procuring a
fresh supply Of cuttings Of sugar cane for ex-
pertinent in the Southern States. The U. S.
brig Release, under the comma nd Of Capt
Sinms, sailed from the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
New York, on the 9th inst, having on board
the necessary lumber and materials for one
thousand and eight boxes, each about three
feet in length, in which TO pack the sugar cane
cuttings. Townsend Glover has been designa-
ted to accompany this expedition and make the
selections. OF the Instructions which Mr..
Glover received from Mr.. Browne we subjoin
the following extracts:
AS arrangements have been made by the
Commissioner Of Patents for you to 90 to
South America in the u. S. brig Release, now
waiting for sailing orders 1T the Brooklyn navy
yard, for the purpose Of obtaining a supply Of
cuttings of sugar.cane, ! am directed 10 confer
with you as to the best means Of procuring
said cuttings, the varieties suited to the climate
of our Southern States, and as to the best
modes of packing them, in order to insure their
successful growth after they arrive.
The points determined upon for obtaining
said cuttings are near the river Demerara, in
British Guiana, and on tie highlands near
Caracas, in Venezuela. At the former place
there are no less than eighteeo varieties Of the
sugar cane; but | wonII particularly call your
attention to the kind known under the name Of
Lebba. The reddish, purpIi-h and violet
coIored sorts wonld probably suit our climate
best. Therefore, it would be advisable to con
fine Your selections principally to them. There
are at least three varieties near Caracas. Those
of J~avanese origin. with deep purple joints, are
the kinds yda should procure.
The cuttings should be taken from the mid,
die 20, tons Of tie cane, towards their tops, cut
about three feet in length, including a portion
Of the leaves. The plants from which they are
taken should be healthy, vigorous, and not over
ripe, and free from injury from borers, other
insects, or "the blast" They may be packed
in boxes in alternate layers; with cane leaves
and common ineIy>sifted earth taken from the
fields in which they grow, or the cane plants
may be pulled up By the roots, their tops dous
bled down or pinched off, and done up in
bundles containing twelve or thirteen stalks il
each, enveIoping then entirely with small ropes,
made by twisting together the leaves Of cane.
If the roots of these bundles could in any way
be surrounded with moist earth taken from the
fields, The vitality of the plants won d be longer
maintained
Mr.. Glover was also authorized to procure
any valuable seeds that would be likely to
thrive in any part of the United States.
f'he expedition is expected to return TO New
Orleans some time in January.

He was a prominent candidate before the
Democratic Convention for the Office of attOr-
ney general, when the Hon. Isaac E. Morse
was selected. The Governor appointed him
Judge ofthe First District Court Of this city
an office which he filled with such signal energy,
ability and impartiaIity, that when the office
was made elective, he was elected by a large
majority, and could have been reelected 50
long as he would consent to serve. When he
decided on !esigning, the most strenuous efforts
were made by all classes of citizens to prevail
upon him to remain, and The regret at his with
drawal was universal. Since that time be has
been occupied closely in the practice of his
profession, seeking the retirement of domestic
life, and rarely, except on extraordinary occa-
sions, appearing at public assembIages. His
way of life has been quiet, reserved, and to most
persons apparently u%nsocial. almost cynical;
but those who knew him intimately, found in
him a warm and generous nature. devoted
wholly and unreservedly to those whom he
loved.
He was a man Of fine talents and fine cul-
tiVation, with a deep enthusiasm for whatever
impressed itself upon his understanding and
feelings as worthy to be struggled for, careless
as to mere fame, and r~eSolnre, beyond shaking,
in the expression of his opinions, however ec~
centric or unpopular, He will be most deeply
regretted by all who knew him enough to ap-
preciate him as he was. Peace be with him.

BI,SULPHITE OF LIME.
NEw ORLEANS, September 10th, 1856

NEW ORLEANS, September 10th, 1856.
THE UNDERSIGNED is now manufacturing, and
i prepared to supply, pure and genuine BIZ
Sulphite Of Lime, which exceeds in quality and
strength any that has been heretofore manufac-
tured.
Ii Is almost unnecessary to remind the planters,
as they are already aware of the fact, that this
Bi-SuIphite of Lime when properly used, never
fails 10 produce a beautiful white and yellow
crystaliZed sugar, that always commands the
highest price in this market, and The very best
recommendation it can have with Western and
other buyers is the fact of its having been made
with BonnabeFs 3i-Sulphite, as they consider
that a guarantee against any loss in weight, and
are always willing to pay higher prices for it
The high repute and favor in which the planters
generally hold this Bi-Sulphite is so much a mat
ter of n%otoriety that it is quite unnecessary to
publish here any of the many f~lattering testimon-
ials received daily from those who have used it,
and invariably succeeded beyond their most
sanguine expectations in not only making the
best sugar ever previously made by them, but
also in realizing the highest prices with less loss
in weight than by any other process. The many
benefits and superior advantages TO be derived
from its use are now too well established to need
any further comment, but it may be we'll to re-
mark that this Bi-Sulphite alone possesses that
strength and those qualities necessary to insure
success to the planter.
The many orders already received this wear
from those who have used this Bi-Sulphite, with
out in a single instance falling, is the best evidence.
ifany were wanting, in its favor. The under
signed alone possess all the facilities TO make a
pure article, guaranteed to be several degrees
stronger than any other in use. There being no
other mandatory in 1.-THE South equal to the New
Orleans Chemical Works, or which can in any
way bear comparison with them, any quantity
of Bi-Sulphite can be supplied at the shortes
possible notice.
Very excellent barrels have been secured this
season to ship the Bi-Sulphite of Lime in: they
are guaranteed not to leak, and when returned
they will be re-fIled and shipped, and the planter
viii invariably be allowed fifty cents per barrel.
Planters who order through their merchants
must be particular to instruct them to buy none
bnt H. BonuabeI's Bi-Sulphite, and all orders
must invariably be addressed to
