THE GREAT EASTERN. The special cores
pondent OF the New York Times in England,
to look after the Great Eastern, says in his
letter Of the 30th ult
"The Directors, at a meeting last evening,
succeeded in reconciling the widely diverse
opinions and actions which have so long
Incnaced the interests of the company, to
this extent-that they will keep faith with
the public, and send the ship to Portland, as
agreed. They will afterwards send her t1
NV York, without doubt, and show her as
long as it will pay"
Tae correspondent denies the truth of the
rumor about suit being commenced be-
tween Nj. Scott Russell and the Company
The trial trip will take the Great Eastern
about 500 mics to sea, and there will be
only few engineering and other guests of
the directors and builders on board. Mr..
Scott Russell and his son will come over in
the vessel, ana will spend some time in ex-
amiapg our ship yards and machine shops.

Sorghum Sugar Msking.

We have received well-got-up book of two
hundred pages, entitled, Experiments with
Sorghum Sugar Cane; including Treatise
on Sugar Making; also, Descriptive Cata-
logue of Sugar Making Apparatus, Farming
Implements, &C." 1t is an elaborate treatise
upon the subject, containing great deal of
useful information, and is largely illustrated
with cuts of various machines for sugar max
ing. 1t is an advertising book, got up and
distributed for the advantage of Hedges, Free
& Co., large dealers in sugar making appara-
tus, which, ordinarily, we should not notice,
for we do not believe in advertising for COM
mercial people gratuitously. But this State
is largely interested in the Sorghum culture
it is an enterprise which we hope will, by the
result of effort and experience, be immensely
beneficial to the farming interests; and we,
therefore, for the benefit of the people at large,
call attention to the work. 1t is one which
all who are planting Sorghum Cane can read
with advantage. Every one who wishes can
have the book, by mailing three postage
stamps (just enough, we presume, to pay the

The Harvest Of 1850 in Minnesota.

AS near a total failure as was the crop of
1858 in Minnesota, it is estimated that her
surplus products were exported to the value
of from 100000 to s25O,0OO. But last
years harvest, or even the exuocrant one OF
1857, are scarce an item compared with what
the harvest of this year will be, if nothing un-
toward occurs to blast the hopes of tho far
mers. All our country exchanges speak en-
eouragingly of the aspect of the crops, and
mention that double the area OF last year is
being prepared and planted. With hvora-
BILE season, next fall will see the earth groan
with harvest that will gladden. all hearts,
make fat the hungry, and pour wealth into orr
State. This fine weather is urging it forward
