EH As many farmers are cultiva,ing
the sorghum plant, it may be we'll to state
that experienced chemists in France have
found that the article is useful for the
product OF molasses and for distillation,
but that the presence OF "silcx' in the
plant makes il unfit for feeding out to
stock. The substance balls in the stem-
Ach and intestines, causing death OF ami

AsAuksoi, APSA o.
The Worlds correspondent at Warren
ton brings the following: To-day the ad-
vanced forces are resting on the Kappa
hannock--our pickets extending to that
stream. The railroad is now in running
order to Cedar Run, within two miles Of
Warrsnton Junction, and thirteen miles
from the Rappahannock river. II will
take several days to conplete the bridge
over Cedar Ran, inasmuch ~ the recent
storm has swollen all the streams very
much. Neither Ball nor Cedar Runs
can be forded 1t present and no troops
can move except By railroad. The cav
airy piekets extend SEINE miles southeast
Of Brentsville, and skirmishes with the
rebel scouts are Of daily occurrence. As
the army proceeds Soatb the country be-
gins to present fewer Of the nvages Of tho
enemy, though in no locality has there
yet been. discovered sufficient supplies to
support either the men or the horses for
more than one day. The reports Of the
enemy's position are indefinite and I'M
certain Contrabands and refugees from
Fauquier and Culpepper ray that the rebel
army has dwindled down greatly in its
proportions, and that it is retrcating upon
Richmond as rapidly ~ possibly, leaving
nothing but scouts and guerillss in its rear
to watch our movements. 1t would seem
from this that the rebels are not reinforc-
ing Magruder, and intend to make no
stand this side of Richmond.

Sec y Of War has submitted to Congress
communication on the Northern Coast
Defenses, enclosing sn elaborate report
from Edwin s. johnson, of Connecticut,
we'll known as practical civil engineer,
and connected with the joint commission
Of 1917 and 1919, for running and mark
ing the porth-eastern boundary line. Mr..
johnson recommends the passage of Mr..
Merrill's bill and the adoption Of the pol
icy of placing in the hands of the Presi-
dent the necessary power to accept loans
Of money from the several States for the
public defense a. therein proposed
Among the modes Of defense contempla-
ted is the use Of railways and floating
ball-proof batteries in addition to the or
binary system Of forti6cation. His report
is the result of careful examination OF
the matters in question including ! long
liat Of documents based on thorough 40
quaintance with the physical, gcographi-
cal and typographical features Of the
country.
Jas. s. Pike, Minister to the Neither
lands, in transmitting to the State De-
partment copy. Of the tariff and revenue
system of that country, concludes his dis.
patch as follows: sit will be observed
that there is no direct tar ON personal
property or Oh income, rs such taxes are
believed to stand in the way Of industrial
and commercial development and 10 ope.
rate To expel capital. The decisive sue,
cesses Of the federal Government in Ten
nessee have produced their natural effect
on this side Of the water. When Char
lesion and Savannah shall have fallen, our
gunboats traverse the Mississippi, all in
terest in the affairs Of the confederates
win cease in Europe"
About two weeks since Commodore
Foote, in telegraphing to the navy de-
partment, said Gen. Pope intended to

~Beauregard caught our army nap

Had it not been for the policy of that

through lack Of knowledge Of the position
of the enemy would to-day be alive and
well to battle for their country and cheer
again by their presence the crushed hearts

Had the negroes been encouraged to

Mr.. EDIroR.-In the Goth Chapter of
Proverbs, the 4th verse reads as follows,
viz:
Answer not fool according to bis fol.
ly, lest thou Also be like unto him.
And the 5th verse as follows, viz:
Answer fool according to his folly,
lest he be wise in his own conceit.
And in the Acts Of the General Assem-
bly, Of the State Of South Carolina, in
1861, No. 1850, page Is. the lst Section
or Article in the Act reads as follows, VIZ:
Be it enacted by the Senate and uouse
OF Representatives now met and sitting

lty OF the same, That not less than 5 nor
more than 10 free holders, in each tax
district in the State, shall be appointed
as herein provided, who shall be called
The Soldiers Board Of Relief" who shal.
continue in office during the existing war,
and for four months thereafter, etc.
And the 9Th Article or Section reads
rs follows, viz:
That each Of the said Boards sb all con,
sist Of no, more than ten nor less than five
persons, to be appointed by joint Reso.
luton OF the General Assembly, to con

articles in the Act referred to.
