The Prospect Of C-oJ5.

A correspondent ofthe Cincinnati Gazette, In
speaking Of the probable short-coming of the next
Corn crop, says: In consequences of the excessive
aims many farmers will fail to plant as largely as
they would desire, without risking great deal by
tn. early fosts- The thought has sugg ested itself
to me, that planting stiTl to be done, would be
more proftably completed by planting the Chi
nese sugar cane to be fed to hogs instead of c,in.
1t may be cut up and fed to great advantage, as
the saccharne matter it contains will fatten equal
to CORN and it is not damaged for this purpose by
frost Experiments last fall proved that thes aci
charine properties we're greater after frost, in
proportion the quantity of juice
If the crop ripens, the yield of seed is equal
to an ordinary crop of oats, aad far better for
food for horses. Besides, the deIuge that is now
flooding the sugar plantations Of the South, will
certainly advance the price of sugar and molasses
The success of last years operation in making
sugar and syrup from the Chinese cane, by Mr.
Lowering, of Philadelphia, and Mr.. Kicker, Of
Clermont County, O., and others, render certain
that il will be profitable crop forthose purposes

The Public School Question

----The Public School Question is
now the subject Of much difference of
opinion and discussion in the county, and
part of our space to-day Is given to COM
munications in relation to it. The pre-
sent time is most unfortunate one for
the inauguration Of Public Schools, to
be supported by taxation; bad crops
and the general depression Of business,
in which our county shares, make taxes
peculiarly burdensome this year, while,
ewing to the large county expenses, our
taxes in Cecil are unusually heavy,
Independent of the twelve cents in the
500, levied for the schools At the
best of times school tax is objected to
by many property holders, who have no
children, or who have educated their
children at their own private cost to
this class of complainants is now added
large number of others who are really
oppressed by the amount of taxes they
have to pay. we suppose, all things
considered, there never was less pro-
plt'ous time for establishing Public
Schools, and so great seems the unpopu-
larity of the present School movement,
that VIC are almost led to expect the
overthrow of the project at the ballot
box, so soon as the people can make an
impression on it there. There is, how
ever, this cause for hope on the part of
the friends of the Free Schools that,
wherever they have been established, no
matter how great the opposition they
encountered at the beginning, the people
have become attached to them and have,
in no instance, so far as we are aware,
given them up when once fairly started.
This leads to the expectation that here,
the opposition to them will be exhausted
at the outset, and that in tho end they
will become so much in favor with the
masses of the people as to be retained,
and from time to time improved, as in
all the eastern and northern states. -
Time will show. If they survive a year
or two. we suppose they will then be
certain Of con tinuance.

thing yet done is the striking of Judge
Douglas from the position of Chairman
