Chinese Sugar Cane

oeSoh NoDN
We have, in our Office, sample OF
syrup, made from the Chinese Sugar
Cane, by our countymen, Messrs
jobs Washburn and. Paul Ingte. To
our taste, it is much better than that
which comes from the South = Of bet.
ter quality and heavier Five gallons
Of the juice will produce one of syrup
by boiling one hour and half.
Without promu.lgating any extrav'
agant notions, we can but believe that
the introduction of the Chinese Sugar
Cane into America is vastly important
to our political economy, and we think
the day not far distant when its man.
ufacture into sugar, and distiliahon
into the various alcoholic compounds
viii be largely undertaken in Lincoln
county.
Experiments have shown that as a
forage cop it is superior to almost
anything known. 1t has the advan.
tsge of many other plants in IT'S pro-
duction of two crops per aDnum-the
last not full one, but avery liberal
one. II would grow to three or fou !
feet in height in July, and be again
ready to cut in October. For soiling
purposes nothing could be more gen,
orally valuable, as horses, COWS and
pigs are alike fond of it, and select il
always in preference to any other
food that could be placed before them
1t is easily cured, and can be as east
" preserved over winter as any forage
although it grows to the height
of ten or fifteen feet. 1t is very bar
DIV: and while other crops have wilted
beneath a hot sun, it stood up fresh
and juicy. 1t does not produce a
nice looking fodder, but if cut into
n;eces. stock eat it with avidity.-
Some cattle will seize upon a long
rough stalk, and chew it as long as
they can taste the saccharine matter
In order that it should make good
fodder, the Cane should be cut be-
fore it is seeded. Care should be ia
ken not to plant the seed too deep
nor place the hills too close.
In manufacturing sugar, it has beef
ascertsined that the Care will yield
one-fifth of. its weight in syrup, which
can be produced at % cents per gal
Ion. a PORTION OF the syrup is moi
crystalizable, and this has been hello
as an objection to it, but while the iac'
is so. it is also true that the Chinese
Cane viii produce good brown sugar
While we would not advise any one
to 90 into an extravagant system o
cultivation, we would advise all farm
ers to try it in their gardens or fielcs
and one trial will 60 further to CON
vince them of the value Of the Sugal
Cane than any advice whatever. Elk
periments IN making sugar may be
made through the use of the old.
fashioned cider mill, which will an
swer, until fairly satisfied that the
manufacture from the Chinese Sugar
Cane would be profitable.

The Negros African.

We are permitted fsays the Boston Post)
to make the SiIhjoined extract from letter
written by IN officer OF tic United States
Navy to friend in this city. The writer
is Il son OF late distinguished Senator
from one Of the New England States. The
letter is written from on board the United
States slip St. Louis, and dated October II,
1856, at Little Fish Bay, west coast Of
Africa -
!: i X = i :: There is very little varie-
'y upon this coast. "Niggcls r' slaves
'ngycls " is the cry. I!.is town is, like
most other plac: upon the coast, made up
OF few people, called white, and Il crowd,
Il mass OF miserable, filthy, worthless, indo-
lent (ni9@ge's) natives. II Charles Summer,
Jack Hale, or any other sensible man, who
wishes or is willing to be permanently cur
ed OF his mock philanthropy aud sicklv
sentlncntaii'v III regard to The universal
negro race, lie las onl y t" take Il six months
cruise upon the coast of Africa. If that
will not crne Linn. au! convince him that
his SYMPATHY Tor the three aud half mil
'io"s of the harI'icst negnos upon the face Of
the earth is misplaced, then have only to
say he is past hope and past cure.
'As ike, do not believe there is one
negro III one thousand upon the coast Of
Africa, who is as well oil, morally, physical
lv, or socially, lis tie worst abused slaves in
the lnitcd States. Slavery here is slavery
indeed, and OF the most horrible Kind.
Cruelty praeliscd here by black slave own
crS Is beart-rcnding to witness. Some
! chiefs (black) own thousands sell tor
,urc, ogakill them, at pleasure. Nincty:nino
OF every hundred ncGros slaves or free, even
in towns, would gladly exchange their con-
dition with the nIeancst, most ill.trcatcd
slave i'll the Union. 1t is impossible to pic
ture the miserable condition Of the native
African upon his own soil Civilization, or
even partial culture, with tie mass of ma
tivcs, is an idea so perfectly absurd that it
does not admit of Il thought. With the
combined efforts Of million competent,
honest, industrious, pcrscvcring philamhro-
piSts with millions Of money yearly en-
pended to the best possible advantage for a
million Of years, would not dcvclope ono
hundred native Africans who would lie Of
any account TO the world at large. So
mnc! for n;ggcrS.' Having seen our ne
eros Il, home in onr Southern States, and
having seen them here, Trcgard the "institu-
lIon' rs IL exists there rs u benign, nay,
heavenly institution, and our Southern bre-
thcrn deserve the thanks Of the Christian
world for having amclioratcd, in such strik-
ing contrast with their brcthcrn here three
and half mllio,.s OF negros. \
You may imagine that, although never n
Democrat, pray for the election oF Mr..
buchanan, and mainly because upon this
negro question the Democratic party is
right"
