To the ESisOv Of TA< ~ Y. Tribyns
SIR: HsviEg Oouploed our experiment In makiog
molasses srup from the Chinese cane, we thought
the result might interest some Of your readers.
We obtained Of P. b. johnson, esq. Secretary Of
the State Agricultural Society," two email papers Of
seed We planted this seed Msy 90, and there being
few warm days at that time, up 10 seven days;
but, owing to the cold and backward Spring aud San-
mer our did not get by the middle of July, more
than six or eight inches high. II then commenced
growing very rapidly and by the 18th Of September,
it bad got from twelve 10 thirteen feet high. 1t
then in full head, but was not tally rpc when the
heavy frost the last Of September killed it. II was
nesIy iipe, however. that We are satisfied there wl
be DO difficulty in its npening in most seasons. We
planted our seed two ard half by taree feet apar in
bills. This We think is too thin, as more cane would
have grown on the same land. We think one and
half by three feet would be best and iro0 four to six
eta Ks in bill, but no suckers.
We used eleven square rods Of land, and hsd Of
cane stalks when prepared tor the press,
making al this rate i3, 900 pounds per a're. From
this 3 coo pounds Of cane We pressed lF gallons OF
juice, weighing 40 pounds, giving Us l3l gaons,
or q, $40 pounds per aero. From the lb gallons OF
juice, We made eighteen gallons Of excellent srup,
giving US 9ol gallons per acre. You will see by this
We have boiled ours down thick. Seven gallons in
one is thick enough for most uses.
II land used IN this experiment was not more h IN
ordinarily coed 1t might have grown 81 or 40 busb-
els Of corn per ecre this year.
We built press ijr the cane similar to the ons de.
scrited in THr TRIBUNE. This being ths first va
ever oid st the busress we found our ptess imper-
feet IN many respects but, with all its i'm oefecti
We found upon repeated trials tha, We could take from
b4 to 5S per oept OF juice from the main stalks.
Although this business s In its infancy yet we are
sstited, from the experiments tnst have are ady been
tined that its vsiue TO farmers in the Northern aud
Western States is ncaculabe fer it at once affords us
. chesp and excellent sweetening, and what ID still
more precious to fiee and hberty-oving people, it
is free iron al faint Of Slavery.

THE HARLEM LOCOMOTIVES.

The Committee on Railroads Of the BOaId Of Alder
men had an excited audience before them yesterday
in relation to stopping steam below Forty.second
street and 8gsinst the proposed subtrack.
MIR MARSH appeared for the remoDstrants against
the sub-track, and contend.d that should the Com
psry lay the track they would violate their charter
II at it would subject the inhabitants to great in
convenience. The use Of steam on the avenue by the
Harlem Company WAS now held as a monopoly.
Mr.. BUSHNELL, old resident, stated that from his
recoe ectOn htteen persOns had been killed during the
part thirteen years the avenue. In 1854, reeolu-
ton was passed directing them to in eighteen
months, but still they continue, in defiance
Mr. BLooDGooD resident near the avenue, made
addres. in defence Of the company and urged that
complained sf and even if they were, the nuisance
should be suffered for the sake Of having chesp pro-
duce brought to the city, and he sorry that the
property and residents id not look upon the
subject mOie lioerally.
E1.Councilmar PIscKsEY opposed the application Of
the Company, aud set forth the complaints before
given. In 1854 the Company promised if they had lS
me rfbs time they would remove their depot 10 Forty
secend street and stop steam bel)w that but have
failed TO DO 20. As for building subrsck, the CON-
mon Council, under the CT ater could not give them
the priyileRe He wss of the arrogant bearing
Of the Company against the people Of the avenue and
they would probably make political matter OF it.
The esolution Of 1854 had been treated with contempt
ard be hoped tbs Committee would report 10 meet the
views of the citizens ond property owners, and not &C.
cord with the excuses of the Company.

THE CELEBRATION OF YEsrERDAY.-The
military of our city yesterday celebrated the
10th Anniversary of the surrender of the
British army, under the command of Lord
CORVALLIS, at York Town, which terminal
ed our revolutionary struggle. Tho Soldiers
of the War of 1872, from different sections of
the district, met in the City Hall, and passed
preamble and resolutions, which we were
unable to obtain.
In 'big" Portsmouth salute was fired in
the morning, and some seven or eight com
panes parallel, six Of which belonged to Dig
Portsmouth numbering in all about three
hundred men.
We suppose our friend of the Transcript
will admit that they covered themselves all
over with glory. Three hundred men, all
told, and eight companies, not an average of
forty men.
