STEAMSHIP D1sAsTERs-The appalling loss of life
on the "Central America" has no parallel in the
annals of American steamship navigation. The near
est approach is the disaster which beel the steam
chip Arctic, on the 9th of September, 1854, by
which something like three hundred and fifty lives
were lost. The steamship San Francisco, belonging
to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, which foun.
dered in the Atlantic the 25th of December, 1858,
was lost under circumstances similar in many re.
spects, to the disaster which has just occurred but
the number Of lives sacrificed was much less, not
varying far from two hundred, including $50 u S.
troops.
Taking retrospect, with view to recount the
various catastrophes which have befalen ocean
steamships owned in or trading with the United
States, we find that the following have been entirely

SUGAR FROM THE CHINESE CANE-Dr. d. Lee, Of
the Southern CuAirdtor, has shown the Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel simple of one Or two
pounds of well graduated and well-,asted sugar,
made by him at the plantation OF Mr.. ". j. Eve. of
Augusta as the result Of his first experiment 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 sugar, but grape or
fruit sugar only DR.. Lees knowledge Of chemis-
try has enabled him TO correct this error, and de-
mons,ra,e that the Chinese Cane is nearly rich in
cry>tallizabc sugar that of the best cane grown
in Louisiana.
The editors of the same Journal have received
from the Hon. Y. p. King. of Greensboro, beau
tiful specimen of syrup, made from the Chinese
care and they have seen unexceptonabe syrup
made by DIR. Carlton, Of Union Point, Dr. Lee, and
others-Chds Courier.

CorroS IN CuBA-.A new impetus is attempted to
be given to cotton culture in Cuba. company
called the Algodomera, have been formed in Havana,
for the purpose of again testing the adaptab'ty o.
the climate for this species Of culture But the Ell
fort will, without doubt, prove most signal failure
1t is conceded fact by those possessed OF exact
knowledge upon the subject that in tropical regions
cotton cannot be produced to satisfactory extent.
Long ago the staple was grown there and IS yet cul
tivated to come little extent but as general thing
it has been almost entirely abandoned for sugar and
coffee, not because cotton is of less value, but be-
cause it has been found from experience that in
country where the dry and wet seasons periodically
prevail, cotton cannot be made profitable crop
1t is always too dry wet, and them in consequence
of the non-exstence Of frost, insects are liable 10
destroy the crops when otherwise everything looks
promising. 1t is well known fact that in western
Texas where the soil is Of great fertility and PROMISED
in the early settlement of the country, the rcnest
reward to the cotton planter, the culture OF Tue
plant has been almost entirely given up on account
of the semi tropical character OF the climate. "heh
rain wanted 1t did not come, anu 'ue" lo' "a"'
ed it fell in torrents.
It is true cotton may be raised in Cuba, but only
in somewhat the same ratio as in Brazil. The soil
in both countries is all that can be deSlred-hghly
fertile; but if by chance, the seasons should INT,
the insects such the catterpiller, bollworm, &c,
NAV appear and destroy within few days, the fair
prospects of the planter. Besides these draw backs,
there is another of equal magnitude. Within the
tropics the cotton plant is perennial, and although
the planter may cut down the stalks periodically,
the yield cannot be anything like the product of the
cotton region in the United States Some 25 years
ago the late James Innerarty opened cotton plan
tation in Cuba. The plant grew finely, but just be-
fore the maturity of the crop, when everything was
highly promising, the catterpller appeared and soon
destroyed it entirely. His not an isolated case,
and so great the destruction that cotton planting
was at once abandoned for sugar and coffee.
After all the experiments now in hand may be
fully tested it will be found that only in such
gon as is embraced between South Carolina and
Texas running back to % 80 degrees Of latitude,
will the cotton yield prove uniform and satisfactory.
The British government may expend millions in ex-
pcrments in the East Indies, Africa, &C., yet in the
end it will be found that there defect in the eli
mate, and lack of suitable labor that amount
of money or skilful handwork can overcome To
cultivate cotton extensively and protably, the lands
must be precisely in the right latitude, where the
plant is an annual and the requisite irrigation comes
from heaven. We, therefore, feel safe in saying
that the experiments now in progress in Cuba will
fail.-uo6ile -Nercury

The GARDEN OF GErnsEMANE.-The clover upon
the ground was in bloom and altogether the garden,
in its aspects and associations better calculated
than any place know to soothe a troubled spirit
Eight venerable trees, isolated from the smaller and
less imposing which skirt the pass of the
Mount of Olives, form consecrated grove. High
above either hand, towers lofty mountain, with
the deep yawning chasm Of Jehosaphat between
them. Growing one of them is living City; on
the slope of the other is the great Jewish cemetery
City of the Dead. Each tree in this grove,
kered, and knarled and furrowed by age, yet beau
tiful and impressive in its decay, is living mou-
ment Of the affecting scenes that have taken place
beneath and around it. The olive perpetuates itself
from the root Of the dying parent stem the tree
springng into existence. These are accounted one
thousand years old. Under those OF the preceding
growth, therefore, the Saviour was wont to rest !;
and one of the present may mark the very spot
where he knelt and prayed. and wept. No caviling
doubt can find entrance here The geographical
boundaries too distinct and clear for insants
hesitation. Here the Christian, forgetfu of the pre-.
SENT and absorbed in the past can resign himself to
sad, yet soothing meditation. The few purple and
crimson flowers about the roots of the tree will give
him ample food for contemplation, for they tell of
the suffering and ensanguined death of the Re-
deemer.

The RESULT IN MAINE-The Bangor Union thus
encouragngly speaks the result of recent cleo
tion in Maine:
"Sufficient returns have now been received to in
dictate that the black republicans have carried the
State BY about IL 600 majority. We have probably
elected our senators in AroostOok, Washington, ana
York, and possibly in Somerset. We have also pro-
baby gained some twenty representatives to the
legislature. So great change has seldom taken
place in one year in the popular sentiment of any
State. We have reduced the majority against US
full 1000 in the aggregate vote. We have made
large relative gains in nine-tenths OF all the cities
and towns in the State. In Kennebes, Morrills own
county, the democratic minority was last year more
than 5000; il is this year less than 100. Thus,
in this county We stand full 5000 better than one
year ago. In Lincoln county, the home of our can
didate the democracy were last year in minority
of about 1880 They have now undoubtedly car
ried the county, giving relative gain over last
year of 1000 These marked results are not with
out significance They indicate that the democratic
party will carry Maine next September by ten thou.
sand majority They indicate that sixteen thousand
men who were las: fall humbugged into the support
of black republicanisn either absent from the
polls or voted the democratic ticket They will new
err again be found on the side of sectionalism. The
great majority of them, undoubtedly through NOR
LITIGATION at the deception pracsed them last FALL
this year remained at home But next year, when
the old democratic banner is again raised, and the
people of Maine called upon to elect delegation
to Congress that will give our State some influence
there, of which now it has not particle, and that
will support the administration of James Buchanan,
then will these men be found at the polls, depositing
their ballots for the democratic nominees. Our OPP
ponents foresee all thiss and hence have heart to
rejoice the election OF Lot NJ. Morrill, The
handwriting is the wall, and they know that Sec
tOnasm is doomed"

HAPPY TEMpEKANESr.-The passengers res
cued by the bark Ellen, tell interesting anecdote
concernining Mr.. Birch, Of the San Francisco Min
strels, which is certainly worth mentioning:
After he went down with the ship he was imme-
dia,ey upborne with such force, by his life preserv-
erS as that in striking fragment of the wreck he
wounded to the quick. but managed to grasp
and crawl on a float hatch window. Several others
by dint Of severe struggling with the waves finally
got on also and for sometime kept his company.--
They all dcspondent at their escape far from
a watery grave, worse fate appai emily than death
itself aw ai,ed them, quckened as their memories
were at sense of their losses, and at the awful
forebodngs still ovcr-hanging the future. Birch
nevertheless was cool as a cucumber. To keep
up their spirits he mnicked the monsters, told
humorous stories, in his own peculiar way, and on
that fra bark stretched his back, bleeding from
a wound at midnight, tossed to and fro upon the
angry waves of mid ocean. he not only showed him.
self true philosopher, but inspired courage in 9TH
erS, nor did he his vivfying harangue until an
overwhelming biliow choked his ut,erance.
