Sorghum.

Sorghum.
ET Mr.. RANSOM BARrLR, Of this
place. yesterday brought TO our sanctum
a large glass phial of Sorghum Sugar,
made last year by o. N. BRAINARD. OF
Linn Co. We hope our farmers will not
fail to call at Mr.. BARrLE's and soc and
taste this sample Of sugar. 1t certainly,
as regards color, grain and taste, is not
inferior to the second quality of New Or
leans sugar 1t is by far the best sam
pie of sugar we have seen made from the
Chinese cane. 1t was made in Cooke e
evaporation, for which the Messrs. BAR
TIE are agents. Mr.. BARNARD did not
boil the juice with view Of making su-
gar. but syrup only. Having set the
syrup away. however. il crystalized into
this really fine article Of sugar. Moth.
ing WAS therefore used to clarity it, and
it is the simple product of the juice boil
cd down. A sight Of it will set to res
all doubts as TO tho ultimate success o.
this crop. and its incalculable value te
the country.

Liquor Troubles.

Liquor Troubles.
Er The liquor men are exceedingly
stirred up by the late seizure of their IL
quors. They are making all kinds of
threats against the Temperance men, but
only, we think, TO make their discomft-
ure more thorough and complete. Here
is copy of a document nailed up In diff
ferent parts Of the village:

The above orders is from Captain
LONGFINGER.
On Saturday night some Of them broke
into the Sheriff S room at the Court House
and stole from thence several packages o
Liquors which had been seized by that Of

high handed proceeding may be discoy,
cred and brought to justice.

made by committee appointed for the
purpose at the last meeting, for the bene-
TT OF Rev. DANIEL WORTH. 1t is un-

Shipments of Produce.

Shipments of Produce.
EE By the kindness Of the efficient
and courteous depot Master at this place.
Mr.. Stout, we are enabled to give the
shipments of freight from this place by
the Dubuque & Pacific Railroad for the
month Of June. They are as follows:
Bushels of Wheat. 1854.
Bushels Of Oats, 1868.
Bushels of Corn. 2,2l2.
ISL packages of butter. amount
ing to 1896 lbs.
g. packages of Eggs, amount
ing to ll,O35 lbs
Bacon, $500 lbs.
Wool, 1884 lbs.
Miscellaneous Freight, 81 800 lbs.
The advantages we are deriving from
the railroad will be apparent from the
above items. Laying aside any con-
siderat;on Of the prices Of grain, the items
Of Butter and Eggs in the above list bear
upon the question. Here in one month
we have shipped an aggregate weight, Of
these two articles. Of 81, 9sl lbs. Here
tofore most of our surplus of these arti-
ticles has been wasted, for we shipped
comparatively little by team transporta-
ton. because it would not pay. Doubt
less we are raising more than in any pre-
vious year, but probably the increase
will not exceed one-third. The other
two.thirds, then, or nearly SO, were here
tofore wasted, but now find market
through the mediumship of the railroad
We have also shipped fish, potatoes. seeds,
and other articles, to not lnconsiderable
amount, which we would never have sent
to market by the old method of trans
portation. In this way alone our coun-
ty will be the debtor, the present year,
to the railroad, of several thousand dol
lars.

ON DIsunIon.
The December issue OF this sterling South
ern Journal is full OF interesting useful and
suggestive articles, in prose and verse. ASIDE
| from the Editors contributions there are thir-
teen articles, historical, scientific, humorous and
poetic. Lady Mary Wortlcy Montague, Popn'
lar Lectures OF the various Forces of matter,
| Thackcry verses Dickens; are the leading prose
compositions; and Tom Johnson's country
| courting; the Northman's Cansc Death and
Burial of D.. Soto; Dc Profundis; Music on
tho Cali Shore, and lines to Mary make up
Il sufficiently varied poetcal entertainment
But tho article which must arrest attention
and that which will stamp this issue OF the
Messenger rs the issue Of the year, is al ed''
toriM discussion Of disunion, in which, tue
Editor boldly advocates immediate secession,
anil !auds and prlises the position oi South
Carolina. in strains Of noble culosy. The fol
lowing opening sentence is the key note @! the
whole article:
"rbe davs of the greatest and happicst Re
| public the world ever SAW are numbered; the
! ha, has gone forth, and the ineIora5le fatcs
! (rcversinr The famous exclamation OF Andrew
| Jackson have issued the stern and unchapga
ble decree, "rhe Union mist and shal! be dis
solved"
The article then justiGes the attitude
of South Caro!in,, closing its reference to the
Palmetto State thus And because her att
,uao is manly, because her action is WISE be
cause i: is cxpedient because it is prompt but
in no wise precipitatc; and because it ought moi
to have been postponed, We believe it TO ot
the pa,t of wisdom and Of manliness in every
S,n;horn State to act in like manner; to Jo!r
hands with her; to share her fate Whatever II
NAV be and to throw heart and soul, mind, BODY
and estate. in,o the righteous balance OF Dis
union.
There is no mstaSng these honest, outspo
ken words, and these are no stronger tnan oth
crs in the article. From first TO last the editor
talks ike a man resolved and ready to peri
everything in defence of his resolution; ane
these closing words Of appeal to Virginia soune
like the praver of son wishing to preserve
mother, fondly loved, from foul dlshonor'
