re- No one who has not been among
our farmers this fall, will realize the ex-
tent Of culture Of the Chimes Sugar Cane
in our county the present year. In re-
cent visit down through the southern
townships. we found at almost every
farmhouse rude wooden mill, express
ing the juice from the cane, and a large
pot or boiler suspended over roaring
fire, in which the boiling down. pro-
. cess was going on. We stopped several
times TO inquire the result of the opera
ton, and We invariably received cheer
ing answer. No attempt, that we had
heard of. had been made to produce Su-
gar, but all seemed satisfied and pleased
that they could and did derive a most
excellent syrup from it, which would
answer nearly all the purposes of sweet
ening in domestic operations, and thus
save to the producers family many dol
lar of expense. Many, who had planted
buta few rods of the cane as a simple
experiment. and wholly without conf
dence in its utility, were asserting that
they should be able, even with their very
rude apparatus, to manufacture from
one to three barrels Of the syrup, which
would give all Of them more or less to
sell. II the process of manufacture of
the Syrup is carried-on to as general an
extent over the whole of the county as it
was in the district which we visited,
and from the information we have re
ceived, we have no doubt that it has
there can be no doubt that at least 3, 200
gallons Of Molasses will be produced
among us. making saving to the peo-
pie Of Buchanan county Of as many dol
lars. Ard, granting that the power of
granula'ion is not readily secured. and
that We will not be able to do more than
produce this syrup, does not that alone

valuable, most indispensable to us 1t

stroke given in producing at home either
the neccssaries or Injuries which Wa
now procure from abroad, is an addition

and should be regarded by us with es-
pccial favor, and receive our most active
encouragement. But there is no room
to doubt that the Sorghum is capable of
yanulation. and that Yankee ingenuity
will yet study outa cheap and ready pro-

New Orleans papers received here con-
tain the particulars Of yidaurri's defeat
by Mirmanon. The former was not on
the field whensibe battle commenced, and
his army appears to have been attacked
when least apprehensive and prepared
for it,
A rumor a; Brownville was that the
de feated army had lost 500 men killed
and that 200 ofthem were taken prisoners,
with their artillery and provisions. An
express from Monterey, however, says
their loss was not so great, and that only
portion Of the artillery was captured by
Mirmanon's forces, and that the Liberal
party made their retreat from the 6eld
in good order. An official paper receiv-
ed at Monterey says that Vidaurri has
already sent orders to the commander at
Tampico for another park Of artillery,
where there is plenty to be had, which
will be soon in the field. together with the
many forces concentrating about Vidaur-
ri, to renew the attack Col Garari was
to leave Tampico on the 18th for the in
terror, with 500 infantry and three pieces
of artillery. au5

Card.

Mr.. EDITOR The Eagle" of last
week contains an article, under the head
of Chronicles" purporting to be edi-
torial, in which is contained a gross per-
sonal attack upon myself, calculated not
only to debase me in the minds of those
who read it, but also to injure my bust
ness. The charge, stripped Of the YER
biage which surrounded it, was simply
this. 1t is asserted that one CALEB, who
had been addicted to his cups, was, un-
der the preaching of one David, "a SER
want of the Lord" convicted Of his sins,
joined himself to the church, and re-
nounced allegiance to King Alcohol
But that one THOMAS, who kept an Inn,
resolved to win CALEB back to his former
habits, and after much study as to how
he should proceed, took bottle of liquor
to CALEB's house, and after long persua-
sion, under the guise of friendship, in
duced him to drink until he became
drunken, and that he then took him out
into the street, from whence he was en-
ticed into the den of the Bear, by the
rivers side. meaning the saloon Of Mr..
BEMAN, who has canvass screen before
his door, with the inscription of a bear
upon it--at which place he was made
beastly drunk. -
The language of the article plainly
points out to every man in this commu-
nifty the persons here implicated. The
CALEB spoken of is Mr.. CALEB CLARK,
and the Thomas mentioned can be none
other than myself, as l am the only man
whose name is Thomas. who keeps ho-
tel in this place. The charge, as it re-
lates to me, is false in every particular
not an iota of truth in it. Inever was in
CALEB CLARK's ho use, never drank with
him, never went. to a saloon with him,
never offered him liquor. 1t is lie in
substance and in detail, as the affidavits
abundantly prove. and am yet to learn
what motive could possibly prompt this
assassin-like attack upon my character.
On Monday. after my attention had
been called to the article, and after many
of my friends and acquaintance had
questioned me in regard to the matter,
| went to Mr.. DANIEL, editor of the
I" Eagle" and, in as polite manner as
possible, requested him to give me the
name Of the author Of the article in
question, but he both times refused, and
finally told me that he was responsible
for the article. Smarting under the
injury which felt had been so unjustifi-
ably inflicted upon me, l took the only
course apparent to me to obtain redress,
and scourged him with whip. | think
the community will bear me out in the
act, and will acknowledge that man
who can thus willfully, grossly, and un-
justifiably libel another, deserves all the
punishment that was inflicted
