Sorghum In 0hto--An Immense Kteld.
fF1om the Cleveland Herald, Gthl

The subject Of sorghum sugar and molasscs
has engaged. the attention of the Cincinnati
Horticultural Society Mr. Mansfield, Of Lex
ington, Ohio. sent the Society several samples
OF syrup and sugar, which were, on cxam1na-
ton, highly recommended by the committee.
They arrived at the conclusion "that the
proper cultivation Of the sorghum and manu-
facture Of its product may, in case of necessity,
furnish complete substitute for New Orleans
sugar" Mr.. Mansfield !" firmly believes, let
the Issue of the war be as it may, our traffic
In Southern sugar is at an end At the meet
ing Of the Society, Nov. 9th, Mr. Gill, Of Co
lulnbus, stated that there were about I, SOC, 900
gallons of sorghum molasses made in Ohio
last year, and that there were fire acres plant
ed this year to one last Owing to the charac-
ter Of the season, tho sorghum cane this year
is inferior to that Of last year The average
price per gallon last year was 45 cents, tliis
year IS cents. Tie sugar and molasses Of this
years crop arc SUPERIOR. The average Of mo-
lasses made to the acre last year Was about zoo
gallons; this year about 100. Tlc highest he
had known was $50 gallons. Good rich upland
is the best, Mr, G. said, for sorghum or a
sandy soil, the richer the better. Black soil is
not good; it produces large cane, but little
molnssee.

Gen. Burnside's expedition was originally
intended to consist Of fifteen vessels, carrying
about 5000 men. Since it was first projected,
the views Of the Government with regard to
tho field and nature Of its operation, seem to
have undergone important. changes. The
number Of vessels has been increased several
times to meet the new purposes Of tie Gov
crument; andi is now determined not to send
out less than thirty-1ye vessels. The Eastern
City, d former consort Of tic Admiral,
has been purchased to accompany that steam
ship On the expedition. The other additional
vessels will be principally barks and echooncrs.
The whole fleet will probably carry not less
than 10000 men, or nearly one-half as many
as arc nor occupying Port Royal: These men
are now, or can bt at short notice, conccn-
trated at Annapolis, the point Of departure;
but the fitting out the vessels will inevitably
delay tic sailing Of the expedition. Ali Of
the vessels, including the Admiral, will be re-
christcned with entirely new names. The five
vessels which hare been altered into guuboats
or floating: batteries, nov sport the following
startling titles = -Bomh$hcll, Grenade, Rocket,
Shralmcl, Grapcshot.

such thing without legislative permission
would be treason against the State. He denied
the right of the Federal Government to quarter

of the city to shut up, which he treated with
dlsdan, and repeated the offence The result
was, that the next night he was seized, brought
out before crowd in the street, with one en1
of rope noosed round his neck, and the Other
thrown over the top Of a lamp-post; when he
was allowed five minutes to choose between
making public recantation, with cheers fol
the Stars and Stripes, and being strung up by
the neck. lie chose the former and was spared
One edition Of a secession paper was seized and
thrown into the river, and the editor told that
unless he declared for the Union in the next
issue, his type would follow the fate of his pa
per. The next morning the Stars and Stripe:
were seen floating over the printing Office
These incidents are related not because they are
of much Importance of themselves, but to show
the determined spirit TINT pervades the entire
Western people. Chicago, for ten days sue
ceedng the proclamation, wore the appearance
of one great military camp. But the most
imposing of all the spectacles seen there during
those days Of excitement and commo ion, was
the great war meeting held one night in the
National Hall, that monster fabric in which
Lincoln was nominated. The capacity of the
Hall is known to be sufficient to hold twelve
thousand people. On this occasion it was
crowded to suifocation. Some half dozen
speeches were made by the most able and elo-
quent speakers of the city. Among these was
a well known Douglas campaign orator, who
seemed to excel them all in the spirit and power
Of bis address And net content with what he
could say, he proposed to administer anew the
oath to support the Constitution to the whole
audience. The proposition was greeted with
loud acclama,ions. Every hand in ali that vast
assemblage was instantly raised, and the oath
administered, followed by a war song in which
probably five thousand voices united. The
whole proceedings were OF a like enthusiastic
character and made, probably, one Of the most
animated and imposing spectacles ever witnessed
on the American Continent. The next night
more than onC thousand troops went pouring
out of the city in one body for the seat Of war.
Such are a few of the indications of the ire
mendous uprising Of the great West, which
has already doubtless put more than fifty thou
sand troops in motion for the menaced borders
