A SPECIMEN "GRAY-BEARDM-Peo at a
distance may have formed, in the absence Of
any specific testimony on the point, the erro-
neous idea that the 37th Iowa regiment is
for the most part Of superannuated,
dried-up or disintegrated relics Of old mortal
ity. The real facts in relation to the physique
of this regiment are (as we have frequently in
timated) that it embraces majority Of men
in the full prime of life, with the certainty Of
at least three-years' even course to run be-
fore dumping on the downward plane, and .
greater proportion Of "over-grown youths"
than any Of its predecessors. Considerable
difficulty and embarrassment were expert
enced, in consequence, in the distribution Of
clothing, it being found that Government and
the contractor had failed to make adequate
provision for covering the extent of surface in
many cases presented. As an illustration Of
the kind, we may mention the case Of one in
dividual, who, after having vainly sought to
find his "fit' in the regular supply, was
kindly taken in charge by his Captain and
brought to town for the purpose Of having 4
suit made to order. The quantity of dry.
goods which, upon consultation with tailor,
was found necessary to put this hopeful gray
beand in spresenhble trim for dress-p parade
was only triAe less than tsoelss ywds-no'

PRorITABLE.-We have often been surpris-
ed that there was so few farmers in this State
devoted any Of their lands to the cultivation
of tobacco, hemp, &c. They are staple arti-
cles of productions in some States, the raising
of which yields good return. At the pres
ent price of tobacco, its culture would be one
of the most profitable investments that could
be made by farmers. 1t can be successfully
cultivated in our soil, and with our climate
let the farmers set apart small piece Of
ground and try it.

OBIruARY.-We are panied to learn Of the
death after q few days sickness, Of Mrs.
Byam wife of Col. E. G. Byam Of the Oath

Mt. Vernon, Linn county. Mrs. Byam was

who were acquainted with her. Col. Byam,
who had just recovered from long and dan
gerous sickness, WAS away from home at the
time of her death, at Helena, Ark, with his

DEclxArED.-We learn by private letter
from VIM. Stuart, of the 18th regiment, son
of Mr.. E. Stuart, residing on the Island, that
at the date of his writing, Dec. 4th, there
was only two hundred and four men that
were able to do duty in the entire regiment.
This fearful amount Of sickness is attributed,
no doubt, to the many hardships they have
endured since entering the forsaken country
in which they are now stationed, and the
number aud length of the hard marches
through which they have gone. The regi-
ment is now stationed at Springfield. Mo.
where it will remain to recruit the health Of
those now sick.

SORGHUM. Department of Agriculture
are making extensive analysis of sorghum
and sugar beets. 1t will soon announce the
result. From the uses to which sorghum has
already been put, we entertain high hopes OF
the future utility of the article. The syrup
made from sorghum, and refined at the Sugar
Refneries, has already in a great measure
superseded the old sugar house and syrup
BY the process of refining, the smoky, mouldy
taste, which has been the greatest objection
to its use, is obviated. We hope to see this
syrup coming into more general use.
A Convention Of those interested in the
csafivation and manufacture of sorghum, is
nov in session at Rockford, Illinois. We no
lice snongst those in attendance, a member
from Iowa. Weare glad to notice this evi-
dence of interest evinced by the growers Of
Iowa. Good results are looked for, favorable
to the interest Of sorghum, from this conven-
ton.
