sorghum in Ohio-An Immense riola.


The subject of sorghum sugar and
molasses has engaged the aftena.
ton Of the Cincinnati Horticultural
Society. Mr. Mansfield, Of Lexing-
ton, Ohio. sent the Society several.
samples of syrup and sugar which
were, on examination, highly recon-
mended by the committee. They. ar
rived at the conclusion that the prop
er cultivation Of sorghum aud mann-s
faeture of its product may, in case of
necessity. furnish a complete substi-
tute for New Orleans sugar" Mr.
Mansfield ''frmly believes, let the is.
sue of the war beas it may, our traf.
fic in Southern sugar is at an END. -
At he.meeting of the Society, Nov,
9th, Mr.. Gill, Of Columbus, stated
that there were about 2,5Oo, 600 gal
1ons made in Ohio last year, and that
there were FIVE acres planted thfsf
year to one last. Owing to the char
acter Of the season, the sorghum cane
this year is inferior to that Of lass
year. The average price per gallon.
last year was IS cents, this year 55s
ceuts. 1hesugar ana mclasses OF tins
years crop are superior. The aver.
age of molasses made to the acre lass
year was about 200 gallons; this year
about 16O. The highest he had
known was $50 gallons. Good rich
upland Is the best, Mr.. G.. said, for
sorghum; or sandy soil, the richer
the better. Black soil is not good;
it produces large cane, but little mo-

CRUELTY TOWARDS TIE NEGRoEs.-1 be PORT

81 have conversed with many of the negroe,
in camp and out of it. Their accounts are sub
stantially alike, differing in detail. Officers of
rank, with the full means Of information, and
after careful inquiry, assure me that the ac-
counts first given, which have come back here,
fall far short Of the truth. 1t is not the excep-
tional cruelty of some more than usually bru-
tai master to which this is to be charged. The
horrible fact stands out with appalling clearness

pose. On the roads which lead TO the islands,
for thirty to fifty miles in all directions, guards
are stationed 10 intercept the negroes and pre-
vent their escape. If caught, they are sent in
land, ard there flogged, tortured, and impris-
oned in irons. If they cannot be caught, they
are shot without hesitation or mercy Al Beau
fort regular watch is maintained. When the
gunbouts go up the river, as they do every day
or two, the whites keep out of the way. If the
coast is clear they return in the day time as
we'll as night. The negroes remaining in the
place arc captured, if possible, and taken TO the
mainland if pursuit is unavailng, they, like
the others attempting escape, are shot. saw
