CHINESE SUGAR CANE.

Mr.. Saml Faulkner, has left ut our office ,
specimen of syrup made from this cane man
ufacturcd by J. ID. Faulkner, Esq, n few
miles above this place. SO much has beer
said and written in reference to the Chimes,
Sugar Cane, that the result of an expert
ment with it, so near home, will doubtless
be appreciated rs we'll by our readers rs
by oursclf. Mr.. Faulkner has no mill fol
grinding the cane and expressed the juic,
10y very simple apparatus Of his own con.
triving. The experiment that Mr.. Faux
ner, sen'r, witnessed, was with eighty stalks
Of syrup, ana the sample presented TO us
WAS portion Of this. In color. it rcscm

is perhaps shade darker, is decidedly more
OF syrup, and is more pala;cable, accord
ing to our estimate. 1t is milder than the
other and has somewhat fresh taste, e,which
is owing doubtless to its having been lately
made. Mr.. Faulkner states that the pro.
cess of boiling did not last Ion ger than
about fifteen minutes.
highly successful one, though made under
the greatest disadvantages ia respect to ey.
perienrc and the apparatus employed. II
any additional testimony is required to con.
vince our farmers of the great value Of this
cane, it can be found in numerous similar
experiments, reported from various QUAR-.
ters Of the State. Certainly more can be
realized from an acre o. ground planted
with the seed Of this cane, than from an, =
thing else that We plant, and we are told
that il requires no more labor to cultivate
1t, than the same quantity Of land planted
in cotton.
We will suppose that one acre Of ground
will yield 800 gallons Of syrup, and this is
not large estimate compared with some
that we have seen. 800 gallons Of syrup
is worth Quitting it down fifty per cent be-
low the present Wholesale prices for best
moIasses) $3.50. Who realizes the half,
or even the third of this sum from an acre
of cotton
We have also been shown stalk Of this
cane which grew upon Mr.. J. A. HasseI-
tines plantation. We learn that he has
several acres of it, but don't know whether
he intends making syrup. This was fine
specimen, some twelve or fifteen feet in
height, BESIDES the saccharinc matter
which the stalk contains, the grain upon the
top would almost equal in quantity an ordi-
nary year of corn.

Gerritt Smiths Eynerinent

The Bee alludes to an experiment o.
Gerritt Smith, in New York, testing the
capacity Of the negro, in state of free
dom, to take care OF himself Smith con
tessed that "out of the three thousand
colored men TO whom he gave land, pro
badly less than fifty have taken and con-
tinue TO hold possession of their grants.
What is worse, half Of these three thous-
and have either sold their land, or been
so careless AS 10 allow il to be sold for tax
es." The Bee, noticing this confession of
Gerritt Smith, observes
"Tbe people Of the North are b,pin-
ming, dimly and imperfectly to be sure.
TO comprehend the moral inapti,ude of
the black race for a life Of lrw regulated
freedom. They are reluctantly compelled
to acknowledge that, in every instance
where the negro has ootained his liberty,
and been placed in the midst of white
men, under favorable circumstances, for
the pursui: of industry and attainlnenL
Of competence, the experiment has pro
we'd a signal failure, and they are arriv-
ing by slow process of observation and
reasoning TO the inevitable deduction that
the best use which can be mace oS the
negro is to subject bin to the mild and
Intelligent dominion Of master. These
views are recognised truisms ut the South;
