CHINESE SUGAR CANE.

Mr. EDITOR Having read in your valuable pa
per and other prints the experience of farmers IN
the cultivation Of Chinese Sugar Cane, have con-
culed to write you a few words as to my own ex-
perience.
In the Spring Of 1857, received from friend
some three four seed of the Cane which plant
cd in my garden and raised about dozen stalks
Last Spring | had about one acre Of land prepared
by throwing it up into beds about four feet apart,
which opened by running one furrow, and plant
ed the seed therein In about 8 or 10 days after
it up | ran the pillow around it, and followed
with the hoes, taking out the grass and weeds, and
thinned to proper stand, which | think is about
10 or II inches apart. Between two and three
weeks aftGrward had the rows thoroughly plOwed,
and this is the amount of labor done In its cul-
ture; though | think | should have gone over it
again with the cultivator. I'm August [ began to
think of putting up a mill but not knowing whcth-
er it would pay not, | made some inquiries
some said it all humbug-that the strip
would sour during the summer, and not be fit for
negroes But this sOurng | am convinced is
owing to an improper boiling of the juice-it was
not reduced to Il proper thickness.
[ had a substantial mill put up, and on the 3Oth
of August commenced pressing out the juice, and
boiling il large kettles; and the same afternoon we
made, experiment, four gallons of fine strip.
On the next morning | sent the wagon and three
l']SAi
the MILL while two other hands and one horse were
grinding, and attending to the boilers myself |
had the mill stopped sometime before night, in
order that we might finish boiling up the juice
for | had been told it would sour in one night
Othe truth of which intend to test the next time
l boilD The result of our days work was II gal
ions of sirup, and enough cut and hauled for
another days grinding. We commenced opera
tons again on the next day, but being interrupted
by rain, we only made about 20 gallons making
in all II gallons of Sirup, and believe have
not used more than one-thrd of my cane. Every
one pronounces the strip not only good, Jut Gerry
good.
\ nei%hbor of mine having quarter of an acre
OF cane, cut and hauled it to my mill, and in one
day we made 20 gallons of sirup, and the next
half day made 6 eallons-in all II gallons
from onc-fourth of an acre Of land. | believe |
can with two hands and one horse make 80 gallons
of sirup per day, by having the ready at
hand
My family is delighted with the strip, which
Is excellent for preserving fruits and making
''candy stews. Yours, &c

Shares had declined greatly, showing that John
Bulls confidence in its success is much shaken.
The Secretary of the Atlantic Cable Company
says in letter to the Press that ineligible signals
ceased on the morning of the 3rd inst, from some
unknown cause. A corps of practical electricians
were at Valenta investigating the matter.
The Times thinks that it is only one of those
casualties to which the Cable must be table, till
measures are completed for protection, near the

) A GOOD SUGGESTION.

A writer in the Rutherford Enquirer makes the
following suggestions in regard to what the next
LEGISLATURE should do to reduce the cost OF trying
small cases of indictment, and says If any one can
nropose better plan, he will be glad to give 1t ms
support.
II allude to the existing mode practiced in try
inc Criminal cases in Court, of a light and frlvo-
lous nature. when corporeal punishment is IN
Hictel by the existing laws. Our Courts are usu-
aly crowded with indictments for assaults and
battery of "a petty nature, and mach time consumed
in attending to them to the pre- udice of business
of more Importance; and the people are taxed to
paw the expenses OH the proceedings.
In order to remedy the evil spoken of, we pro-
pose to have law enacted Gin place of the exist
ing one.) TO give Magistrate the power to try all
such Indictments bv calling to his assistance as
many as three or five freeholders to form jury, al
lowing the party dissatisfied the night of appeal by
giving sufficient security to indemnify the citizens
from being taxed to pay expenses.
By CARRYING out the foregoing suggestions, IT
will either reduce the County taxes, or have the
amount heretofore expended in that way, trans
ferred from such worthless objects, for the nobler
purposes of Education and Internal improvements
We consider it inconsistent with the genius OF
our government to feed and fatten a class OF vaga-
bonds in prison at the public expense, and then
turn them loose to violate the laws of our country;
and this has repeatedly been done And IT we
cant have Penitentiary for the reception of such
classes, let us at least have work house in each
and erery county in the State for the special bene-
6t of all SUCH

THREE HUNDRED MoRMoNs RENoUNCING THE
FAITH.-From the arrival of man named Herbert
Brandon, have been furnished with the
following information from Salt Lake,
81 left" says our informant, Camp Scott on
the 18th of June. The Mormon excitement had
entirely abated. Several Mormon trains had passed
Camp Scott on their way to the States.
"IhCy stated while encamped at the above
place, that they would not have been permitted to
leave, or they would have abandoned Salt Lake
long ago.
"On being questioned as to their determination
to resist the entrance OF the United States troops
they replied that the ma or part of the Mormons
only awaited the entrance of the troops in order to
effect their escape from Brigham Young
On their arrival at Camp Scott they were minus
the common nccessaries of life. On being asked
the cause OF their destitute condition, they stated
that before Brigham Young had relented from his
determination to resist the troops he had ordered
them to deposit what provisions they had in the
storehouse; but as soon as he made known his
intention of going South, those Of the Mormons
who refused to go were deprived of all, and they
could get nothing for their outfit. They also
stated that, but for the interference of Governor
Cumming, the destroying angels would have forced
them away, aud that they did succeed in instances
in driving away several women.
