THE MEXICAN DEsERTERs-Col. Borden
who was for many years, private secretary
to Santa Anna, and colonel in the Mexi-
can army, has been lccturing in New York
on "Mexico and her people" His lecture
is said to be very interesting and contains
some items of intelligence which are of no
little Importance in regard to the events of
the late war with Mexico. He spoke at
some length of the bad treatment of Mexi-
cans by foreigners. Among other things
he said:
"During the Mexican war, 1900 men de-
serted from the American Army and set
tied down in Mexican Provinces where the
U. s. troops did not penetrate. They man
aged to ingratiate themselves with the IN
habitants, and most of them married into
rich families. After all the inquiries l
have made, find only seuen cfhen' we're
Americaas; nearly all were Catholic Irish.
They married daughters of rich families, had
children by them, and then left the country,
and have not been heard ofsince."
1t will be remembered that during the
Mexican war, in addition to the returns OF
skilled and wounded a very disproportion-
ate number of the American forces were
continually reported missing" Here then
is the solution. Two thousand and three
hundred ofthe enlisted soldiers deserted the
American flag while in an enemies coun.
try, but Of this whole number, only seueu
were native born Americans.

EThe Republicans of Indiana held a
State Convention at indianapolis on the 7th
inst. The object of the Convention was to
strengthen the party by consulting together
and adopting such measures as will be like
ly to perfect county organizations, and rem
der county and township clubs thoroughly
effective. The vote at the last election in
that State, land the same is true of all 9th
er localities showed that where the truth
was disseminated freely, the majority of the
people voted on the right side. The Re
publicans have to contend with darkness
and ignorance, while their opponents fear
light and intelligence. The latter will la
Dor to perpetuate this darkness; and it is
therefore the duty of the former to diffuse
the light. Let every possible effort be made
to furnish the people with correct informa-
ton, such as will enable them to vote in
telligently.

HCongress has entered upon the sixth
week of its session. So far little or moth
ing has been accomplished that concerns
the practical interests of the nation. But
the holidays are over and it is to be hoped
that the genialities of the season have wor-
ked benefcially, and that the remaining 8
weeks of the session will be devoted to bu-
siness. The various regular appropriation
bills have been reported by the Committee
of Ways and Means, and await action; the
Pacific Rail Road schemes, the ocean mail
services, the increase of the compensation of
the officers of the army, the affairs of the
Territories, the projects for plundering the
treasury through Patent extensions, special
contracts and private claims, are some of
the subjects that are to be disposed of before
Congress adjourns.

EXTRAORDINARY PRICE FOR NEGRoEs-
A letter from Lexington, Ga, Dec. End, to
the Augusta Chronicle, says:
About 100000 worth of property was
sold here to-day-land and negroes
Some of the sales were ahead of anything
we have ever heard. A negro girl, Is
years old, sold for 81, ,2S0; another girl, II
years old, sold for 81, ,es0; another girl, IA
years old, for sl,3o5; another girl, Is
years old, lin family way,) for $500; a
boy, Is years old, for 81 ,29o; fellow %
years old, for $500. these negroes be-
longed to the estate of John Wynn, de-
ceased, and were sold on credit of twelve
months. There were 81 ofWynn's negroes
sold here to-day, and brought s44,026.-
Of these great number more than or
dinary) were woman and children, and a
few diseased and sold low. 1t is also pro-
per to state that but few of these negroes
were bought by the legatees, and not oneof
those ofwhich we have mentioned brought
specific prices. They were common ne
groes-feld hands.
But the most extraordinary sale was Of
three negroes belonging to the estate of
Mrs. Mary Watson: Leah, a negro girl l6
years old sold for s1.525; Harriet, about
90 years old, and child in her arms, sold
for Sl,S40-terms II months. These
terms appear incredible, but all who are
disposed to doubt can be satisfied by re-
ferring to the record of the Court of Ordin-
airy of Oglethrope county.

A CANE FOR SENATOR SuMNER.-Gov-
ernor Robinson, of Kansas, who passed
through this city for the East on Friday
night, bore with him beautiful cane from
Major Bickerton, one of the Free State
prisoners, for Senatot Sumner. The cane
was wrought by the Majors own hands,
during his imprisonment at Lecompton,
and the device is peculiarly appropriate and
significant, the whole being carved from
solid piece of wood and highly polished;
upon it are 81 artificial knots, Is of which
are within the coils of serpent, represent
ing the Is States enslaved; and l6 with
out its coils,representing the l6 Free States;
and as the serpent Slavery is still reach
ing after more States around which TO coil
itself, the Genius of liberty grasps him
around the neck aud says, THUS far hast
thou gone, but no farther canst thou GO"
thus forming the head of the cane.
1t is a beautiful devive, and Just such an
one as we. might suppose would be con-
ceived by one who has been ;ncarcersted
for the grievous offsnse of loving liberty

VIII be found on the outside of to-days

repay the reader for the time taken up in
its perusal. 1t comes nearer satisfying our
ideas of what such document ought to be,
better than any which has appeared in ma
ny years. 1t is plain, practical and we'll
written. 1t reviews the whole business of
the State in clear style, and imparts val
liable information upon its affairs. We
shall make no analysis of its contents, but
direct attention to the Message itself.

re- The Administration of Poor Pierce
dies hard and spitefully. Wherever it finds
a Republican in office, however petty that
Office may be, he is instantly removed.
The Pm. at Carlisle, in this county, was
removed some time ago, but on looking a
round for some one of the faithful to give
it to, they could find none qualified to fill
the office, so it was discontinued altogether.
The P. NJ. at Nashville, an excellent Of
fcer, with whom all parties were satisfied,
has also been removed to crafty mean
spirit. Under "Poor Pierce's" Admins
tration the public Offices are doled out to
this and that man as reward for partizan
services, without any regard to qualification
or the wishes of the community where the
Office is located.

EEThe Wooster Republican says that
not day of the new year has passed that
it has not added TO its mail book the name
of one or more new subscribers. Whilst
we rejoice at this evidence of prosperity of
our friends in Wooster, we wish we could
say as much for our own paper. VIII not
its friends through the county exert them
selves to increase its circulation? We have
published the paper thus far at loss, in
the expectation that the patronage would
be increased sufficient to make it remune-
rative. Shall that expectation be realized
or must the paper 60 down? We have
scarcely a subscriber but could get us one
or more names to add to our list, if he
would but try himself and not leave it for

: BERLIN, Jan. 13, 1857.

Mr.. Caskey-Dear ,Sir-Having seen
some articles of late in the newspapers in
regard to the Chinese Sugar Cane, am
induced to say that through the favor of the
Hon. w. R. SAPP, 1 received in the last of
May 1856, apackage of the seed and plan
ted it on one rod of ground, and farmed it
similar to Broom Corn. In the fall cut
the stalks and manufactured it into Syrup
or Molasses, making about three gallons of
an excellent article, equal to the best quail
ity of Boston Syrup.
My yield was equal to four hundred and
eighty gallons to the acre, and am salts
fled that if could have thoroughly extrac-
ted the juice, (which, from my imperfect
machinery, could not it would have yiel-
ded at rate exceeding 500 gallons per a.
ere. 1t is my opinion that within five years
Ohio will produce Sugar and Molasses suf-
ficient for her own consumption.
If I can procure sufficient seed wish to
plant several acres next season.
Yours truly,
L IIITT

srTbe Louisville Democrat saws, eco:

EgThe Louisville Democrat says, "coal
is so cents abushel, cash up and no grumb-
ling; the river is closed up above and below
Louisville; business is in great measure
suspended, and our people are in the midst
of the "hardest times" that have been felt
in Louisville for many years. How the
poor and HELPLESS exist at all, is decided
mystery. At Cincinnati coal was selling
for from S5 to 40 cents per bushel, and hard
ly to be had for that. Many of the manu-
featuring establishments have quit work,
throwing out of employment hundreds of
hands.
