SORGHUM SUGAR. AND AFRICAN
COTTON.

We received yesterday from Mr.. Henry
Miles, of Monk ton, or SIMPLE of sugar made
from the Sorghum, Chinese sugar cane, in
Iowa. the past season. The sugar is beau
tlfnl article, white slightly tinged with vel
low, Of coarse, hard, and clean grain, and
very sweet The small sample of African
cotton accompanying 1t, is of fine but rather
short staple. With the samples, Mr.. Miles
writes as follows
MoskroS, VT, :, 18th no., ls6l.
Fueri Benedict
Herewith please receive sample OF sugar
made from the Chinese Sugar Cane in Iowa, last
| season.
l procured the sample from Joshua NJ. Dean Of
Charlotte, VT, who had it from the maker-Reu-
ben johnson, Salem, Henry Co., Iowa. r. j. is
ono of the few successful farmers in Iowa, who
married his present wife in this town. and has
house and out-buildings more like an Eastern
home than many others who have tried the ex-
pertinent of making money on the Western prai-
RE.
On looking on this sample Ct sugar that has
been produced by free hands, with;the remembrance
of the dependence the North has hitherto placed
on the labor Of slaves for such Injuries. who can
but rejoice over this evidence that the North will
eventually, in commerce if not in politics, be in
dependent of Southern favors
l inclose also sample of fyee grolou Cotton
from Africa, planted and collected by my (Rich-
pating the great demand for cotton in our mills,
which the present complication with "secessia',
is likely to create, would it not be good bust
ness transaction" to give Liberia a lift by acknow-
lodging her independence and obtaining some of
the Liberian cotton for the use Of our mills and
the comfort of our backs?
The cotton tree in African being perennial, the
labor Of yearly planting is saved; free labor be-
ing abundant, and to be hired at low rate. the
cost of picking i; trifing, compared with South
ern slave labor. These elements produce their
natural result-a good article at low price-on
the African plantation. All that is wanted TO
make it profitable to New England is some Yam
kee enterprise AID Yankee capital. Yankee no.
tions would sell as readily in W. Africa as Afri
can cotton would in Lowell, and the exchange of
them would help civilize Africa while it "com-
fortizes' Yankeedom.
Respectfully, HENRY MILES.
Certainly, we 90 Tor tie recognition of
Liberia, and Hayti too, as independent la
tious. We have advocated it for years.
Both OF them are acknowledged as su h by
European governments. Nothing but the
oyerpowering influence Of Southern slavery
politicians at Washington has been in the
way OF such acknowledgment by our own
Government. We are glad to see 1t directly
recommended in President Lincoln's late

with a neat and clear wood cut to nearly

opinions are likely to differ. To our view
such Efforts are usually failures.

GEN. PHELPS, PROCLAMATIoN.

matchmaking is getting to be
-" our military officers

charged with special commands.
ae that it has not amounted to much. thus
fs;, and if the fashion were TO 60 out entirely
and without further delay, it is more than
possible that the cause OF the Government
would get along the better for it. Leave the
President to issue proclamations, when there
is call for them, and let officers of the army
attend to their business of supporting the
Government by force of arms, knowing no
enc man from another, be he white or black
yellow or red, except as a friend and sup
porter Of the United States Government, or
- an enemy to it.
Though not personally acquainted with
Gen. Phelps. we have, in common with all
our fellow citizens, a high opinion of him as
sbrave, indefatigable, and capable commander.
His praise has come to the public ear from all
quarters, and it has been pleasant to hear it.
But bis proclamation of December 4, address
sed from his Head Quarters on Ship Island
/" To the Loyal Citizens of the Southwest, 3"
we fear will rather damage than help
him in the public estimation, and do good
to nobody.
We have no room for it to-day. 1t
consists of speculstions and argument as
to what are the powers of the United States
Constitution, and the relative excellence of
free and despotic conditions of society. There
may be differences of opinion as TO one or
two of bis propositions at least as he states
them-but as to the general spirit and scope
of the sentiments expressed, there is not
likely to be any fault found with it by the
great mass Of our people in this State, or the
northern States generally. But what the pro-
mitigation of it in this official way has to do
with his military duty, or what the General
could have expected to have come of it, is
hard to make out.
The account Of determined opposition to
its PRONUNCIATION, as given in the New York
Herald is, probably, exaggerated to some
extent. The New York Tunes correspondent
speaks of factious opposition of that sort,
from an individual whom be does not name,
says he himself was charged with the duty
of copying it and giving it circulation that
II was read on ship board and copy sent by
. trusty person to the main land; and that
though some dissented from it, " a deep and
sincere respect is felt for the General, and
no one was heard to utter a word detracting
from the sincerity of his convictions or the
honesty of his views" The general i'm
preston however given by all accounts, is
that 1t was considered i'll judged, though
well intended, there. and 30 it will strike
most of Gen. Phelps well-wishers here.

BArARD TAYLOR LEcTURE.-A large and
cultivated audience assembled in the Town
Hall last evening, in spite Of the rain, which
doubtless prevented many from enjoying the
promised pleasure. Mr.. Taylor's lecture was
a fine one, exceedingly interesting in matter,
and truly valuable in many Of its statements
and suggestions. The American people,
with their true and false republicanism
their true and false independence, their ex
citability and sensitiyeness to foreign criti-
cism, their faults and their follies, as well as
their good points and the elements of their
real greatness, were set forth, not with i'm
paltIality, for the speaker Is an American
and proud Ct his people, but with rare
frankness and fairness, ard a thorough
knowledge, gained in wide travel at home
and abroad, not often found in our critics.
The lecturer was frequently applauded, the
heartiest round being gwen to his remark on
the position which our Government should
take towards England, VIZ ; keep cool head,
firm stand, grant all that justice requires,
but WELD not a hair 's-brcadth to foreign
oggrossion.

message. The acknowledgment of foreign
government is an Executive business but
nerbaps for the reason assigned by the Pres

an EXPRESSION of sentiment from Congress,

those Governments We observe that the
subject has been already introduced into the
