and Secretary of War, on the resignation of former Walker giving some reasons for re signing He says he has been overslaughe | by appointment of young officers. He ranked in old service. He says the Government was not content with putting her own couAtryrnen over him, but brought from New York, Gen Lowell, who was an office holder in New York when the battle of Manassas was fought, and made him Mai. General over Southern men, and to cap the climax, Walkers brigade has been taken from him, and one of his junior CoIoneis made BrigadierGeneral.
 He concludes his letter by saying that one would have supposed that an Executive, who has himself been soldier, would have scorn- ed to have wounded the sensibilities of an old tried soldier. The sacred cause for which drew my sword, and for which will fight for in my native State, but 1 will not condescend to submit any longer to insults and indignities of the Executive. Secretary of War replies that it is due him in self-respeet, to remark on the mpropriety of Brig. General Walker using the War Department for conveying dis respectful and insulting comments on the ac- tion of the President of the Confectionery. He says the President's sole offense consists in not sending for Walker to be made Mai. Gen. eral, and that there is no question of promo tion involved in appointing general officers. The law expressly vesting appointing power in the President, and not to be disparaged by any officer, whatever may have been his ser vices.
 Walkers resignation accepted.

lfrom the Cleveland Heralj.l
The subject of sorghum sugar and mo.
lasses has engaged the attention of the
Cincinnati Horticultural Society. Mr..
Mansfield, Of Lexington, Ohio, sent the
Society several samples Of syrup and su
gar, which were, on examination, highly
recommended by the committee. They
arrived at the conclusion ":hat the prop
err cultivation Of the sorghum aud manu-
facture Of its product may, in case Of
necessity, furnish u complete substitute
for New Orleans sugar" Mr. Mansfield
"Gtmly believes, let the issue Of the war
b. as it may, our traffic in Southern su.
oar is a, a end" At the meeting Of
the society, Nov. 9th, Mr. Gill of Co.
lumbus stated that there were about .
100000 gallons Of sorghum n.o'aSscs
made ia Ohio last year, aud that thee
were five acres planted this year to ole
last Owing to the character OF tho sea.
son, tho sorghum cane is inferior to that
of last year. The average price hast year
was As cents, this year 80 cents. The
sugar and molasscs of this years crop are
superior The average of molasses made
to the acre last year was about 200 gal
Ions this year about 100 The highest
he had known was 45O 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 pro-
duccs large cane, but little molasses.

Of our State Bank receivable for all kinds
Of taxes, are in circulation. We will
not now DISCUSS the propriety of such a
Law but We now wisE to say that the
Legislature should make u S. demand

would afford relief to the tax payers and

notes, although we may never be the
