Correspondence Of the Detroit THbuos.
Retirement Of General L Cas-.

/ have information from Democratic
sources that General CaSs is not expected
to remain long in the State Department.
The venerable statesman is sinking into
tie torpor of extreme old age. The work
of the department is now performed by
the President and Mr.. Appleton, Assis-
tant Secretary. The latter is discomfort
ed because the salary is not sufficient
He is dissatisfied, because the engage
ments under which he took the Union
were not carried out. The Secretary Of
State is failing in memory. He takes no
interest in appointments, that special
prerogative of his Office, and has declined
to have anything to do with them. This
is not so agreeable to the President as
may be supposed, for he would prefer that
the labor and responsibility OF deciding
between scores Of applicants, of whom,
after all, very few are personal friends
of his own. should be shared by the
Premier General Cass has done but
one thing since assuming Office. which is
the preparation of the instructions for
Mr. Reed, now Minister to China, en-
bracing an encyclopediacal history Of
that empire and its relations to the United
States. All routine business is transact
ed by Mr.. Appleton. and the larger qnes-
tions are considered and decided by Mr.
Buchanan.

the Improvement otsNgar, III which it would app

We understand Improvements of the most vaIua-
Bile character have been introduced into the manu-
fartre and that from comparatively low stand
ard of strength, seven eight per cent, it is now
uniformly tenand upwards.
Skptcism Iorg held out against the use and nti-
ity OF the Bi-Snphte; can it surprise aay one
that this so, seeing how many agents chemi-
cal and others, have been introduced in the last
twenty years, to improve the quality of Louisiana
sugars. so IS to enable it to compete successfully
with the fore igu article. and to connteract some of
the disadvantages it has to contend against. from
pecuiaF;ties OF climate and hasty preparation for
market.
The Bi-SulPhite, we are assured, has answered
expectations in almost every instance where no
extravagant or unreasonable hopes have been ms
p!red or indniged; and. perhaps, the very uest
proofs OF the good results following It's use is fur
nlshet by those Intelligent planters who, having
nsed il when its effects and nature Were but ifnpar
ectIy understood. still continue to employ and re-
commend it as an agent Of great value araeworthy
OF the most extended application. Of course, much
will depend upon the purity of the article and the
fidelity with when its manufacture is conducted

already aware of the fact, that this B-sulp ot
Lime when properly used, never fails to produce
beautiful white and yellow cTYstailzgd sugar that
always commands the highest price in this market,
and the very best Recommendation it can have
