OUR WAR

OF course the wave Of patriotic feeling which
has rolled over the nations nerves since April
18th, has not left us untouched here. 1t Is true.
our community is a hard LAND to shake with
any sudden excitement. Its habits are staid.-
There is too much wealth distributed among the
neople. Wealthy, money saving farmers are
not the men for war exactly Mary of them
look at our National crisis from their accus-
toned stand -point-present and personal monled
interest-as Mr.. English looks at it from his
English factories Yet even these stones cry
out against the accursed treason which has plot
ted the overthrow of the best Government the
world ever saw, If party pride keeps few
faces wry. there is no loud whimperng, for
there is a crushing pressure of public sentiment
on them every moment. A venerable old man
among US, who filed the office OF Colonel IN
the war of 1912, has a son who was very anX-
ious to oin the army, but fearing that his father
MIGHT forbid him, he went twelve miles to a re-
cruiting office, enlisted, and then came home
and reported himself To his great satlsiac

the Col received dispatch, ordering the Regi-

morning. The order was slowly and distinctly
read, at the close of whichthe enthusiasm OF the
soldiers and the crowd around them knew no
bounds. Every voice roared in the response,
until the very ground seemed to shake with the

Conference.
DEAR Mr.. EDITOR Some people say that
persons who hardly know what to write about
generally commence their productions with
lengthy description of the scenery about them.
So, g here Sit" not IN the moonlight shadow
of whispering pine,' where 6 occasional
correspondents - usually fire their blank cart
ridges, but in the piazza Of little white cot
tage on the west bank of Cayuga Lake, my eyes,
the meantime afectonately looking eastward,
are fixed upon the huge mountains of white va
por which hang over the waveless bosom of the
little lake, through the fantastic gorges and
chasm in which the rising sun is urging his
fiery forces and revealing the earliest harvest
tint upon the wide wheat fields Of " Lake
RIDGE | contend that the scene is beautiful
one. Some travellers say it is just as fine as
Zurich OF Luzerne affords, only it has the fatal
disadvantage Of being easily reached and Can be
visited with little outlay Of time, money or great
deeds. Not long, however, shall sit here, for
to say nothing of the dispensing frown of this
mornings sunshine, the Episcopal court will
very soon be in session among us and will then
demand of me biennial qut-claim Of Tru-
mansburgh with all the privileges and appurte-
nances thcreunto belonging.
| confess that the world, and the flesh, and
think, the devil, too, sometimes. suggest that
the ltineracy is a very self-sacrifcing and hard
mode Of life, but when | remember that " the
things which are seen are TEMPORAL but the
things which are not seen are eternal, blessed
be God, have more than victory over the gro

this place have not been wholly useless. We
have had plenty Of work to do, and the hardest
part of it has been the ertras, that is, work IN
addition to studying, preaching, visiting, &c
An old society debt of long standing, and threat
ening our very existence, often having proved
nrodieiously fruitful for years in heart-burnlngs
an aissensions, has been paid, parsonage has
had to be painted, blinds attached, new fence
built arouud church and parsonage lots, a new
instrument for the choir purchased, and money
raised to meet the whole amount, all Of which
has at last been accomplished. Far the best Of
all, some sixty to seventy precious souls have

The Western Episcopa liam contains let
ter from Bishop MIlvain, of Ohio, on the
duties of Christians in the present war. lie
says:
First, our duty is clearly, solcmnly, pa
tienty, steadily, bravely, earnestly to sus-
tain our Government There is 10 room tor
hesitation here. Whatever may be said of
persons, or localities, or sections of people,
our Government has not provoked this war
the Country has not. We are pro patria
for our beloved Country-not Ohio, nor this
State, Or that; not North, or East, or West,
but our Country, and our Government as
the only representative of our Country
All duty says so. And what we are and do
in the discharge of this duty should be zeal
Gus, devoted, sef-sacrifcing, undaunted.-
But secondly, in what spirit as Christians ?
There is no necessity of coming down in the
least from all that pertains to Christian spir-
it in the discharge of such duty, wherever it
! may carry u.s. Good soldiers, especially SOL
diers standing for their homes and institutions;
repv.;-css ";cs invasion, encrcl!GSg around their
Government, contonding Tor the Union, have
no need to borrow a spirit not their own
There need be 10 unhallowed passions, no
spirit OF bitter revenge, no cultivation Of
hate, no ccasing to pray for enemies, no pas
sing away of actual kindness and readiness to
do good to those arrayed against US whenever
duty, loyalty to our own cause does not pre-
vent.
Especially with those who stay at home and
do not plunge into the actual conflict, the
great mass of praying, loving, Christian peo-
pie, the highest measure OF loyalty and of
stern determination to sustain the Govern
ment, is perfectly consistent with the cher
ishing in their hearts of all the tempers and
spirit, the charities, the kindness, the doing
good to them that hate us, the praying for
those who would despitefully use US, which
our blessed Gospel requires.

SORGHUM IN IOWA.

Below will be found an extract from
the forthcoming Report of the State
Agricultural Society relative to the
manufacture Of sugar and molasses
from Sorghum grown in this State
The fact has been demonstrated abun-
dainty that cane from the Sorghum
and lmphee seed can be maturcd even
in the Northernmost Counties in this
State, and that with ordinary care and
skill, the product Of the crop can be
made far more remunerative than the
ordinary grain crops. The chief diff
Guilty has thus far been that our far
mers have failed to obtain that purity
and flavor in the manufacture of the
cane,juice into sirup which is desira-
BILE. This is not the fault Of soil, eli
mate, or the cane product ; but results
simply from the inexperience or the
inattention of the manufacturers
Within the last week we have seen
sorghum sirup made in one of the
Southeastern counties of Iowa, equal
to the best sugar-house sirup. The
statements made below give an in
sight into the best modes of manIfac-
turc, and We republish them that eve-
ry cane grower may have the benefit
Of them.
Until the Pro-Slavery Rebellion shall
be ended and the Mississippi shall
again hear upon its broad surface the
products Of the old Sugar-Growing
States, it may become a matter of ne

A Speedy End Promised.

At headquarters In Washington the
expectation is evidently entertained
that the war is soon to end in the tri.
umph of The Union. A few weeks
ago Secretary Seward predicted that
the power Of the rebellion would be
virtually crushed within three months.
Gen. Mcclellan recently said to a
Philadelphia committee, "the war
cannot be long" Gen. Scott, in his
late speech to the President, declared
his confidence i'm the success of the
country over all enemies, and that
speedily" Secretary Cameron, in his
address in New York on the 4th, said :
" The day of our trouble has gone by
Let US wait patiently until our young
General has perfected his arrange.
ments, and he will pledge his life upon
victory" SCOTS confidence in Nc
Clellan's plans is significantly indica-
ted in the retiring veterans last ad-
vice to him, thus:
Garry out your own ideas act
upon your own judgment, and you
will conquer, and the government will
be indicated"
The President and Cabinet are evi-
IDENTITY harmonious and serenely hope
full. Complete trust is reposed in Nc
Clellan, both by his superiors and the
army.
