.PhenOmna Of the Pressure.

In the balmy days of the United
States Bank, commercial reyulsions
and monetary panics were always at
tributed to the "monster" in Chestnut
ST., and deputations of merchants and
bank officers used to 60 on to Phila-
delphia from New York, Boston and
other cities, to entreat Nick Biddle to
afford the needed relief to the mer-
camille world. He was regarded as
the Great Mogul of the financial world,
and 8as supposed to possessthe power,
as he doubtless did to a certain extent,
Of making money plenty orrs scarce, as
suited his convenience. Philadelphia
was then the central point of the fnan.
cial world on this continent, and the
Bank, with its branches, was able to
control the destiny Of the country
Even after General Jackson had sue
ceeded in depriving it of its charter,
and it had no longer any connection
with the Government, it still was sup
posed to exercise the same power in
finances that it had done before, and
Biddleawas still regarded as a kind Of
Pontif in the commercial world. In
the great panic Of 1887, to which the
present pressure. has been most absurd
ly likened, a deputation of our mer-
chants wasfsent on to Philadelphia to
beseech MI. .Biddle to come here and
afford some consolation to our suffer
ing merchants by letting the light Of
his countenance shine upon the dark
ness of Wall street. He came accord
ingly, and no monarch was ever more
graciously received by his submissive
and admiring subjects than was the
fnancialpotentate by our business men,
and there are, doubtless, many now

Kansas Election.

We have advices from Kansas
to the 18th which give the Democrats
a majority of five in the House, SO far
as heard from. It is thought the Council
will be Republican by a very small
majOrity-but on a joint ballot the
Democrats will have a majority.
Parrot has been electedto Congress
over Ransom the Democratic nominee.
The only parties know weretfe Dem
ocratic and Abolition, the Northern

tuting the Administration or Walker

of affairs from what was expected by

ripening about 1st September.
Being resolved to thoroughly test
its Sugar and Syrup making qualities
II went to work to make a mill tocrush
the cane not having the necessary
tools and machinery to assist in con
structing d mill, Ffoundit an exceed
ingly difficult task to construct one
that woodwork. After several failure
l finally succeeded in getting one to
operate, which for the purpose Of ex-
~perimenting answered very well, 4 #
was made entirely of wood, two rollers
10 inches in diameter and 10 inches
long with FoodenIcOgs ineach to make
them turn together, n of the rollers
projecting up through the frame for
the attachment of q lever to drive by
horse. This. mill will crush out u
gallons of juice per hour. A mill
built upon a similar plan with three
rollers of good seasoned timber and
iron cog wheels, costing not over $35,
would be amply sufficient to work up
say five acres Of cane per season, and
with care will last for years.
Taking part of an acre as a test to
experiment upon Ifoundthat it yielded
at the rate Of 1910 gallons of juice
per acre which would make $50 gallons
syrup ; through another test Of a DIFF
ferent lot Of cane 50 70 gallons juice
yielded II gallons Of syrup. This
Syrup is pronounced BY all who
have tasted it to be q very superior
article, having a very pleasant and
entirely diferenttas fromthe Orleans

to granulate it have so far been un-
successful; it will not granulate by the
same process that the Orleans and
Maple Sugar will. I attribute this
failure entirely to ignorance, Sugar has
been made. from it, andgYer have only
TO- learn the secret of crystalizing to
make sugar from it, and ere another
crop is, raised We will know it.
Apart FROM the manufacture of
Sugar or Syrup the Sorgho is valuable
asa forage crop, its adaptation to this
soil and climate, its growing perfectly
free from the ravages of the various
insects, grasshoppers, etc, which have
been so injurious to vegetation here,
the value Of its. seed, and the enormous
amount. Of fodder it yields, renders it

falling off and the stocks commenced

precise time to cut the cane to obtain
the largest yield and the best Syrup.
