THE PoTATc RoT.-We regret to notice the con-
tinued prevalence of the potato malady. The Wor-
cester Mass Spy says:
q The potato rot is very prevalent in this city and
snity and the prospects that there viii De less
than half a crop. We consider two acres Of our
own planted with that vegetable, to be hardly worth
digging and one Of our largest farmers assured as
yesterday that he would gladly take for his entire
crop what the seed was worth last spring when
planted"
The Manchester n. H. american has the follow
ing:
"a gentleman who passed through Durham, Lee,
Dover and New Market on Monday, says the potato
vines in these towns entirely dead, and the put
rid potatoes can be smelled in passing by the fields
Farmers were trying 10 portions Of che crop by
digging, and in Dover twenty-five cents The cur
rent price per bushel. Beyond Gambia depot the
tops are only partially injured yet. This looks
as if pOtatos would be scarce next winter"

SUGAR FROM THE CHINESE CAEE.-Dr. D. Lee, of
the Southern Cultivator, has shown us a sample of
two pounds of well granulated and well tasted
sugar made by him at the plantation of Mr.. W. J.
Eve of this city, as the result of his first expert
ment with the juice Of the Chinese Sugar Cane
This result is the interesting from the fact,
that scientific gentlemen, in Boston have expressed
the opinion, that this plant contains cane sugar,
but grape fruit sugar only. Dr. Lees knowledge
of chemistry has enabled him TO correct this error,
and demonstrate that the Chinese cane is nearly as
rich in crystaizable sugar that of the best cane
growth in Louisiana.-Augusta (Ga., Chronicle.

SoRGHo.-The monopoly exercised by cotton over
all the agricultural labor of this section of country
for score of years past, has been attended with
many Disadvantages. Our planters have been so ex-
clusively occupied in culvating this staple, that
they have neglected everything else. Horses CATTLE
stock of every description has been supplied from
abroad, and the money which ought to have remain
ed at home has been expended for these things
which might easily have been grown in Alabama,
but are purchased from Tennessee, Kentucky, &c
We are not credulOUs sanguine about novelties,
but all the indications seem to favor Chinese sugar
cane as remunerative crop for this region All of
our exchanges filled with statistics the sub
ect In one it is asserted that single of this
cane has yielded three hundred gallons of mo-
lasses as good as Havana syrup. At sixty cents per
gallon this would yield two hundred dollars per
acre. We are not sufficiently well advised to discuss
the probable deterioration from continued culture,
but some seem to apprehend that after awhile the
Sorgho will become common broom corn. This opin-
ion, is altogether conjectural. The manner of ex.
tracting the syrup from Sorgho is very simple and
inexpensive, and if, after fair TRAIL it is found to
flourish in thislatitude it will probably be the means
of dvering portion of our labor from cotton, and
relieve from the exclusive dependence we have
