Cane Culture aud Manafacsores

EDITOR ADVERTISER:
II it is desired I will give my exper-

/ have raised and manufactured cane
the last Eve years; have crushed,he cane
upon wood and iron mills, and boiled the
juice in kettles. common pans, and
Smart's patent pan. OF course iron mills
are the only economical ones, as they
will soon save the price Of Il mil over the
wooden ones. Although l have never
used Cooks pan, I believe copper pan

long, is the best for making either, sugar
or molasscs.

good growth. When the cane is ripe,
strip and cut off not less than two joints
from the top, aud cut eight or ten inches
from the ground. Bind in convenient
bunclcs to handle. If it is piled up aud
covered, it will keep long time wi,hou,

Strange Story.

The editor Of the Chatauqua D!m' crat,
On. I.,) now clerk in the office Of the
Secretary Of State, contributes the fol
lowing queer story TO his paper:
\ member Of Congress from Ohio re
lated to me to day singular ru,nor that
was told him by one who professcd to
k'uw, and | give it under the head OF
"rumorS.' My readers will all reculect
it was said some months aga that but for
some traitor in the army, Gen. Mcclellan
would have cut off and captured some
ten thousand rebels at Mun>on's Hill. 1t
was said that signal lights were seut up,
giving the notice in season to retreat be-
fore Mcclellan could { fleet his man.uver.
This is said to be true, and that the next
day Mcclellan invited the President to
meet him in private room When the
President came he found three persons
in the room. viz: Gen. Scott. Gen. Nc
Clellan, and a third person, whose name
is not given. Geu. McCl Han arose aud
said to Mr. Lincoln, that last night be
had been betrayed, and the traitor was
traced to three persons, as no other !iv-
ing p"rs"ns knew Of the plan or the sig
nal lights, and those three" said the
General, "nre before you" He then
continued, at is utterly impossible that
Gen Scott should betray his country Z;
AS for myself l claim to be true man,
aud he pointing to the third person,
"can answer for himself" The accused
was mute, and did not pretend to deny
the charge. He was hi ch in command.
and, as the story goes, it was thought
best to silently and quietly withdraw him
from any participation ir the war for the
present rather than to conf, IS to treason
i" high places. Now, the question is,
what prominent military ma" has. with.
in T. past two months, disappeared from
the galaxy of heroes in and around this
city? Wonder if i, isn't old Thomas?
Other rumors more startling than this
are vaguely whispered from lip to lip,
some that would not do TO see the light.
painful. aud yet for certain reasons not
impossible. 1t shows how feverish is the
tue public mind, and susceptible il is to
listen to-. aud even half believe the wild,
improbable tales But. one thing | be-
l'evc, the n"uritfc" history Of these
times. the deeds Of darkness and mid.
night, if It is ever written. will prove
that truth is indeed stranger than fc
