AN HOUR ON THE FIRST SUGAR ESTATE IN
MASSACHUSETTS. few days since we had
the pleasure of visiting the first sugar estate.
as we believe, in Massachusetts,, and of Wit.
Messing the operations of squeezing the cane
and boiling the juice, and seeing it nut into
barrels for market. The pioneer of this laud.
able enterprise is ]. F. G. Hyde, Esq, of New
ton Centre, Mass, the gentleman who prepar.
ed the manual on the cultivation of the sugar
cane which was published and extensively
circulated last spring.
On reaching the scene Of operations, we
found Mr.. Hyde and four or five other per-
sons, actively engaged in the work necessary
to obtain syrup; they were aided bya powerful
pair OF horses, who found the labor quite severe
turning the ponderous cast iron rollers which
were squeezing the very life blood out of the
cane. There was also three boilers, from for
ty to seventy gallons in capacity, over an arch.
and under them a roaring fire. With these
complete arrangements, Mr.. Hyde will be able
to extract nearly all the juses from the canes.
and to learn their product, and also what
cane produces the largest amount OF JUICE as
well as OF saccarine matter. He had already
asoertained that cane grown on rather low,
rich land, did not produce juice SO rich and
sweet as that grown on land rather dry and
warm. This point he will be able satisfactorily
to establish, as cane is brought to him to be
pressed from various localities and cultivated
under variety of circumstances. He has
also learned that the canes are sweetest near
the ground, and that some three or four feet
of the top contains very little saccarine mat
ter.
Mr.. Hyde has been so fortunate as to OBJ.
tain the services of Mr.. Williams to aid him
in boiling down the juice he having had
some dozen years experience in that business
on the sugar plantations OF Cuba. Mr.. Will
liams arrived at the boiler house at the time
we did, and his practiced eye soon dected or.
rors in the operations which might have frus-
trated all Mr.. Hyde's efforts. The fire was
soon regulated, the skinner put in reauisi.
ton, and soon a gold-colored foam spread
over the contents of the kettles, and ali was
progressing properly. Various tests soon
caused Mr.. Williams to say that "he believed
it would grain" but we left before that inn
portant point was decided. The mill used for
grinding or pressing the cane is so powerful
as to leave it so dry as to allow it 10 be used
for,fuel, after a few hours exposure to the
sun. The juice obtained gives about one
seventh of its bulk in syrup, which is thick,
sweet, clear. and has a slightly peculiar, but
pleasant taste. We have tried il in various
ways, and think it would be generally esteem-
ed for the table and cooking purposes, after
little use.

This viii give the Democrats clear ma

1t may be stated that the above majority of
twenty-five for the administration win be in
creased to twenty-five at an early period of
the session, by the admission of the three
democratic members just elected from the new

Of prominence in this connection, but they
will all have to give way, undoubtedly, for

Should the South get the Speakership, the
North will obtain the secondary compliment
of the clerkship, in the person, it is said, of
John L. Robinson, ex-member Of Congress
from Indiana.
Among the questions to come up at the ap-
prOaching session, the Kanzas question will
be by far the most prominent, as it was at

ROCHESTER,, Nov. l2.-The breaches by the

ferred mile or more around the breach East
of Vienna. We have had no Albany mail
since Monday morning. The Genesee valley
road is obstructed, and passengers cannot
reach the Erie road
1t is dificult to estimate the damage by the

cation with many of the sufferers. Up the
Genesee valley,the damage has been immense,
houses, barns, bridges cattle, and timber,
have been swept away. The bridge over the

carried away this morning with man upon

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER is. 1857.
The Thir,t-Fir.h ConEre.s.

The new Congress viii assemble three
weeks from next Monday. As decided by the
late elections, which complete that body, it
will stand politically divided, according to the
most correct classification of members. l2S
Democrats. 81 Republicans, and IA Ameri-
cans the latter (l4) being all from Southern
States, viz: Q from Missouri, from Ken
{ ueky. 8 from Tennessee, l from North Caro-
lima, from Georgia, from Maryland, and
/ from Louisiana. In the last Congress they
numbered some thirty members, with some
half dozen from North OF Mason and Dix
ons line, like Haven, Walk, and Whitney, of
New York, Harrison and Moore of Ohio, Band
Scott and Dunn of Indiana. Thank God
such mongrels from the North were whipped
out at the last elections, and will not disgrace
usin the next Congress. We shall now have
a fair field and open fight between the ad
minisrStion democracy and the Republicans,
with about a dozen half way men from
che South to occasionally vote with US.

ton Of members by States, with their political
comnlexion.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1.-THE Lecompton cor
respondent of the Republican says that ma
jority of the Convention, headed by Calhoun,
Moore, and Henderson, propose to submit the
Constitution to the people in the following
form, viz "A Constitution with slavery, and
Constitution without slavery. The vote to
be taken abnut the goth of December, and
every actual resident at that time to be allow
ed to vote. The Lawrence correspondent of
the Democrat says that the Constitutional
Convention would probably adjourn on the
18th, and that the Constitution will endorse
the Dred Scott decision, the fugitive slave
law, SC. A proposition for the establishment
OF provisional government was before the
Convention. The pro-slavery clause received
only four dissenting votes. This clause is the
only one which will be submitted to the peo-
PIE, so that no chance is given to vote down
the Constitution. A rumor was current at
LeaVenworth that Gov. Walker, in conjunc-
ton with George N. Sanders, purchased sew.
eral hundred acres of land for the Leaven-
worth military reservation, at nominal
price.
