from Twiggs and Worth's division, and then We
knew that the battle of Churubusco had been
fought and won, aud ic;ory for the fth time, that
day, perched upon the American flag.
As soon as we had forced the lines, Harvey, with
his dragoons came laundering down the road that
led to the city. As they dashed past lis they gave
three cheers for the "South Carolina Regiment,
and soon were among the flying foe Then they
cried "havoc, and turned loose the dogs of war"
upon the enemy, and soon their blades were red
with human gore With light hearts We turned
our backs on them to retrace our steps. Then IL
was that the stern realities of battle field burst
upon our view. Ono hundred and thirty seven OF
our brave comrades who had risen with us at the

with us in shouts of victory at Contreras, were now
stretched upon the field, cold and stiff, others
dying, and others horribly mangled.

tolerable ease to himself and attend to hs planting
Interest Some weeks ago he commenced increasing
in flesh very rapidly, aud gained lbs. per day;
then it was found he gained little lbs. per
day.-Last week he died suddenly in his chaise, L

645 lbs, and had he been weighed the dag of his

none to advise with and knew no one upon whom

Chinese Sugar Cane as Food for Stock.

We fnl in Georgia paper, communica-
tion from correspondent who signs himselfF.
j. H., and dates Oglethsope county, in that
state, Aug. q, 1853, from which We make the
following extract and ask Cor it the attention
of our readers
This is my third season Of cultivating the
Chinese cane. | have seven acres Of it this year,
fUe Of which planted sns the cypress pr, pose
Of FEEDING il green and dry to horses, cottle and
hogs; aud since the lst of June, until now,
have been feeding it daily to those animals
My calves have run daily upon two acres, sown
broadcast, since that time. My cows and oxen
while sick with the "5iack tongue were daily
fed with il. My oxen, when al work, are fed
upon it, heFses ditto. My hogs are daily fed
with the cane now, and are in fne growing or
der | intend to fatten my pork upon the cane,
as not only good feed but equal to corn for the
same purpose! These facts can be attested by
my neighbors, for they know all about them
After three years experience with the Chinese
sugar cane, J. have come to the following con-
illusions in regard to it, and | give them for
what they are worth--rot caring ''bawbee'
whether or not they are endorsed by the peo-
pie.
!. For forage, either green or dry, there is
no plant so valuable.
2. More grain can be made upon the same
land than oats will produce, with an analytic
value as food OF one-t third over oats
3. For hogs, it Is next TO corn, in every par
ticular.
4. For sirup, it is equal to any cane, and
for sugar, ditto!
This is no mere speculaton--I have tried
the forage, made sirup aud sugar, and for the
analysis of its value as food, am indebted 10
Prof. Lee.
There was not nearly as much sugar cane
seed planted last spring, as We had supposed
there would have been-why, We cannot say
inasmuch, as taken altogether there was never
new thing introduced among us of so much
decided value, whether it be regarded as seed
and fodder producing, or with single view to
sugar and molasses. In what way the sugar
cane has failed to meet the expectations of
those who planted it last year, we arc unable
to say. All that was ever promised for it by |
the most sansuine, was realised; and yet in our
excursions into the country, We have not found
it cultivated to anything like the extent and
uniformity among farmers that we had reason
to anticipate. All that we ever recommended
was, that it should be grown by farmers in
small quantities to supply the domestic demand
for molasses, while The fodder and seed would
add to Its value as permanent crop, and al
together make it highly desirable upon every
farm.-GermantoD Telegraph.
