sugar Cane Manufacture.

Extract from j. @. Plumb's commu,
nication on Sugar Cane Culture and
Manufacture, in Agricultural TRANSACT
tons of 1859.
This manufacture is necessarily a
process requiring good machinery,
much energy; and constant care, for a
failure in any one Of the different ope-
rations will defeat the object in view.
In regard to the mill for expressing
the juice we will only say, that it should
be Immensely strong, with the least pos
sible gearing, self-regulating pressure
upon one of the rollers, and with suffi-
cient power to renao0e all the juice it
should also be free from the constant
leakage and the liability to clog, which
characterizes some now in use.
think that mills of greater strength
than those now in common use, will be
demanded as soon as the business be-
comes more settled, especially for work
ing cane partly frozen.
The juice should pass Immediately
from the mill to the evaporation, and be
filtered in the passage. .n
We have used a course wooden bag,
of about two pail capacity, attached to
the receiving tank, with an alternate to
take it's place while shaking out the
deposit, which will clog it every hour.
Some recommend a gravel filter, which
we have never tried, but something is
necessary; even the receiving tub filed
with straw will do temporarily.
The juice should not be exposed
more than twenty minutes befor heat
ing to the boiling point and now comes
the climax of all the process, the reduc-
ton to syrup, and without that simple
combination of furnace, boiler and
cleanser, in the adjustable rocking ma
chine called Cooks Evaporation" or
some equivalent we could not have pa
thence to engage in the business at all
But this is so sample, economical, port
able and efec@ve, that it is apleasure to
run it. and instead of the burning, sooty,
dripping, daubing operation Of the old
way, the operation is clearly, pleasant
ly and quickly performed, as your COM
mittee do report
We have operated this evaporator in
different portions Of the State, and it
has given surprising satisfaction where
exhibited. It's construction is upon a
new principle, which secures a constant
flow of the juice from the time it enters
until it passes off syrup. 1t also retains
the scum and feculent matter at the
end of the several channels, from which
it can be removed every hour, and per-
forms the cleansing process better than
by introducing alkalies and other for
eign ingredients. Our limits will not
admit of minute statement of our ex-
perience and observation on this new
branch reproductive industry.

The Gloomy Prospect in Georgia.

An intelligent correspondent of the
Savannah Republican, writing from
Epson county, Ga, says that the wheat
and oat crop are an almost total failure.
Corn will not make more than one
fourth of a crop Peas, and potatoes,
fruit, and Vegetables of all kinds have
likewise suffered immensely from the
drouth. The paper says; "Without
early and judicious supplies of rain,
the cotton crop af this state will be the
shortest that has been made for the past
twenty five years. In view of these
gloomy prospects, the people are be-
ginning to think Of sending off their Ten
nessee err otherwise disposing of it,
The writer also proposes the formation
of s'bread societies."

Steiner in a Parachute.

Prof Steiner, the aeronaut, has been
astonishing the people Of St. Lawrence
county n. Y by his feats. He made
an ascension last week in company with
another, and when at the height of two
miles Steiner took parachute and de-
scended to the earth. The spectators
were thrilled at the sight and stood
breathless as the daring aeronaut was
descending. He landed safely, howev-
er. This has long been a favorite feat
with the French and English aeronauts.
A parachute is made chiefly of silk or
canvas in the form of an umbrella, so as
to gather in the air in its descent, and
therefore fall steadily with it's weight
suspended underneath. 1t contains no
gas and the aeronaut has no control
over it except that his weight keeps it
steady and right side up in it's descent.

The Ship of state.
BY f. W. LOCKE.

ARIA title more cider, too"
Hark bark a signal gun is heard,
Just out beyond the fort;
The good old Ship Of state, my boys,
Is coming into port;
With shattered sails and anchors gone,
fear the rogues will strand her,
She carries now a sorry crew,
And needs a new commander.
Our Lincoln is the man,
Our Lincoln is the man,
With a sturdy mate
From the Pine Tree State,
Our Lincoln is the man.
Four years ago she put to sea,
With prospects brightly beaming,
Her hull was strong, her sails new bent,
And every pennant sire aiming;
She loved the gale, she plowed the waves,
Nor feared the deep's comnotion--
Majestic, noby on she sailed,
Proud mistress Of the Ocean.
Buchanan was the man,
Buchanan was the man,
But his four years trip,
Leave crippled ship,
Buchanan was the man.
There's mutiny aboard the ship,
There's feud no force can smother,
Their blood is up to fever h9at,
They're cutting down each other:
Buchanan here, and Douglas there,
Are belching forth their thunder,
While cunning rogues are sly at work
In pocketing the plumber.
Buchanan is the man,
Buchanan is the man,
But November's sun
Shall complete their fun,
Buchanan is the man.
Our ship is getting out of trim,
IT'S time to cauk and grave her;
She's foul with stencil of human gore,
They've turned her to a SLAYER;
She cruised about from coast to coast,
The flying bondmen hunting,
Until she's strained from stem to stern,
And lost her sails and bunting.
Old Abram is the man,
Old Abram is the man,
And he'll trim her sails,
AS he split the rails,
Old Abram is the man.
Wen give her what repairs she needs,
A thorough overhauling,
Her sordid crew shall be dismissed
To seek some honest calling;
Brave Lincoln soon shall take the helm,
On truth and right relying
In calm or storm, in peace or war,
He'll keep her colors flying.
Old Abram is the man,
Old Abram is the man,
With sturdy mate,
From the Pine Tree State,
Old Abram is the man.

A Romantic Story.

The Richmond Dispatch chronicles
romantic story, derived from a gen
tleman for many years engaged in the
prosecution of military claims, who OBJ
tanned the particulars from descendant
Of the parties that form the subject of
the narrative.-Early in the revolution
airy war man named Lane enlisted in
a company raised at Manchester, Va,
to serve three years. The company
went North and joined Washington's
army. Taking part in all the previous
battles, Lane was severely wounded at
Brandywine or Germantown, and du-
ring the battle and after, was cared for
by brother soldier to whom he had be-
come greatly attached, and who belong
ed to the same company as himself.
The term of service having expired,
these two soldidrs were discharged and
returned home, devoted and insepara>
BILE friends. In the meantime the tide
of war rolled on to the South, and they
again enlisted to serve in Lincoln's ar
my, at that time engaged in the siege
of Savannah. At last Lanes comrade
was wounded in turn and was carried
off the field in the arms Of his devoted
friend. While under the care of the
surgeon it was discovered that his brave
and tender companion was woman
1t appears that she had formed strong
attachment for Lane, whom she acci.
dentally met, but made SO little impress
sion upon him that he did not recognize
her when he afterward met her disguis>
ed as a soldier. She was in despair
when Lanejenlisted, and under the in
spiration of affection she fled from her
parents, donned the Continental uniform
and followed him to the wars. What
ensued was a proper finale to such a ro-
nance. The wounded woman recov-
cred, and as soon as the twain were re-
leased from captivity they became one.
They lived many years very happily
together, and left several children.
Both the man and his wife received pen
sions, until their decease, for services
as soldiers. s.a.

GREAT YIELD OF OIL.-Solne of the
stories told of the immense quantity of
oil pumped up from the springs in the
oil spring region of Pennsylvania, are
really wonderful. The Titusvilie Ga
1ette, published on the spot, devolves
considerable space to ageneral super
vision of the doings, and its number
says of the "Fountain WE'LL" that they
raise "about 2 gallons and l quart, say
full average Of 2 gallons per dap, 100
gallons per hour, and $3.50 gallons per
day Of twenty four hours" The Hoov-
well raises Alp bbls per hour, or 108
bbls per day. AT this rate, tallow can,
dies and gas will be greatly reduced in
prices. .-.

WATERING TREEs.-More trees are
destroyed yearly, than saved by inju-
dicious watering. Many persons pour
pailful after pailful of cold water around
the roots Of newly planted trees, during
the early part Of the season; their
object being to assist the tree by
supplying moisture, to force out its
buds and leaves to vigorous growth.
The result is more often to create
disease and rapid decay in the root to
drown the young fibres, and by keep
ing the ground wet and cold, produce
death. Better hoe around the tree
every other night, just at sunset, and
let the watering alone. The former
practice will destroy the tree, the latter
will save it. aa
