Sorghum Agnin.

Mr.. John Brewer. living near Cir en-.
wood, johnson, county, presented Us, a
day or two since, with specimen of his
sorgho molasses, which has some special
claims to his attention. 1t was made en-
tirely from the juice Of the lower Joints ol
the stalk. which he finds, as did our Kos
ciusko friend whose sugar we noticed some
weeks ago, is the best for both sugar and
molasscs. The truth, we suspect, from
this concurrent testimony Of two intelligent
experimenters, is, that the saccharine mat
ter is deposited chiefly in the lower parts
Of the stalk, leaving the juice OF the upper
joints thin and accidulous, consequently
unfit 70: any kind of manufacture, aud on
ly hindering and weakening the process OF
manufacturing from the good Juice when
mixed with it. Another fact connected
with Mr.. Brewers experiment is, that his
molasses is male by boiling down the
juice alone, without any other process,
and without the addition Of any neutral
izing or clarifying natter 1t is. in fact,
just the concentrated extract cs the lower
joints of the stalk, and nothing else. Of
course. thus made, the molasses is little
cloudy and dark, bnt it is very thick.
nearly thick enough to crystalize into SUI
gar. and very sweet, with but very little
acid taste-lcss indeed than we have found
in other molasscs that had been care
fully supplied with matter to neutralize
the acid. In favor it is remarkably good.
Except in color it is equal to any we ever
saw. no matter how carefully Manufactured.
And when it is considered that moth
ing but the juice, reduced by boiling,
makes it, it will be admitted that the ex
pertinent is very successful one, and
points still more clearly the way to
profitable use of the sorghum. = Lsd. Jour

Rev. NJ. Gillett. Presiding Elder of the

sides.
The trial now contemplated is. OF

charges be proved, it will be impossible
for the Trustees to evade the action on

The -1msrican, edited by minister OF

hitherto spoken in his defence, is even
more specific in its charges. as will be seen
by the extract given below:
"Our realers viii learn with profound
regret, more than surprise, that Dr.. Daily;
the President Of the State University,
spent most OF last week in this city, so
much under the influence of intoxicating
liquors as to be seen staggering in the
street, and to dcmcan himself in rude
manner in the Union Dcport, offering in
suits to an unprotected female. For the
latter he made acknowledgements to the
friends of the female and the officers of the
depot, AMI for both he will be brought be-
fore comnittc of the church at the earli-
est possible moment. We forbear com
nent at present. further than to say that,
though DR.. Daily has long been suspected
of free use of intoxicating liquors, he has
managed to keep the fact from the author
tiles of the church so far as to cludc dc;cc-
tion. The habit has. however. been grow
ing upon him, until concealmcnt is no
longer possible. His friends in the city
and in the State are deeply mortified over
his conduct in this city last week. the de-
tails of which arc too revolving for pub

Thursday. ...... January 20, 1859.


1t appears that the French Emperor pro
tests against the cession of Cuba to the
United States, and England, also, is equal
ly aversc to the policy. The French press
declare, by authority of the Emperor Of
course, that Cuba shall not become an
American possession, even with the con-
sent of Spain. A London journal says:
The Cabinets of France and England had
Informed the American minister of their
resolution not to tolerate the cession OF
Cuba the United States, even were Spain
to consent to such an arrangement
The Washington States, Fillbuster-
ing. Douglas sheet, comments as follows
upon the above intelligence, in which it AL
mits. it will be seen. 'that the acquisition
of Cuba is postponed to an indefinite pc
riod:" {
"Nhat now will he the course of our
government? Are we to quail before the
menace OF France? orwill the President
persist in his purpose, in defiance OF Ma
poleon's interlict? The intelligent read
cr will be driven to accept the opinion ad
vanced in these columns, and to acknowl-
edge that the acquiSirioa of Cuba is post
poned to an indefinite period. Mr.. Pres
ton goes upon fools Grand. ii he ina
gines the possibility OF signalizlng his ser
vice by such consummation.
For not only does the French Emper-
or protest against the cession Of Cuba to
the United States, but England. too, is
equally aversc to the policy. Papers in
the interest as well of the ministry as Of
the opposition, declare the purpose Of the
British Govcrnment TO resist the enterprise:
and we have no reasonto doubt that the
protest is a faithful expression Of the pop
ular opinion.
"rhus, in addition to the notorious res
olution of Spain never to surrender her do
minion over Caba except upon compulsion
of irresistible force, we have an unmistaka-
bic indication that she will be supported in
her possession by the united action of the
foremost military powers of the cartl.-
Under these circumstances, it is idle to
contemplate the acquisition Of Cuba as
present possibility. Instead Of projecting
plans for comprising SO unattainablc an
object, patriotic representatives would cx-
hibit more rational regard for the public
interests by turning their attention to the
details of domestic policy"
Will the whole Democratic party now
back down from its position in regard to
the acquisition of Cuba? The Southern
wing will yield, doubtless, with bad
grace. But there is no help for it. Spain.
backed up by such formidable nations as
England and France. would be able to pre-
vent the L. S. from taking her gem of the
Antilles. Democracy seems to have no OBJ
lection to kicking up a rrmpus for the least
provocation with such powers as Spain,
Mexico and Central America, for the pur-
pose Of acquiring more territory adapted
. slavery. but when England and France
manifest their ,lisplessure and threaten to
Interfere, there is not quite so much ankle

hose valiant heroes
