FROM KENTUCKY.

FRANKFoRr, J an. THE
Legislature met.
Governor Robinson's message
recommends that Kentucky re-
iects the Presidents emancipation
propositions, and protests against
any interference with her State
policy, as unwarranted by the
Constitution, and thinks the
proclamation giving freedom to
slaves in rebellious States infiicts
upon Kentucky a fatal though an
indirect blow. He says the ef,
feet of the proclamation will be
to fire the whole South with one
burning mass of inextinguishabIe
hate. and destroy all hope of res
toring the Union, which is only
possible by adhering to the Con-
StItuuon as it was, and further.
that the most alarming aspect OF
the proclamation is the usurpa-
tiOn of the powers of the Gov
ernment by the President, under
the plea Of military necessity.
He advises the Legislature to
place on record their protest
against the proclamation.

STORY OF THE PRESIDENT.

The Oneida Herald tells the
following story, assuring its read
ers that 1t Is Veritable.
THOSE who were Of the unusu-
ally large company that besieged
the walting-room adjoining the
Presidents apartment in the
White House, on the morning oi
the 23d OF September-the day
succeeding the issue OF the Proc
lamatlon Of freedom-will doubt
less never forget a remarkable in
cident that then tTansDired. A
gentleman had discovered the
President, through slight open
ing between the folding doors on
the right of the ante-chamber,
pacing slowly up and down the
long and photographed hall.
Tall, angular, with hair snarled
and unkempt, whiskers awry,
collar In creases and slippers very
much down at the heel; his eyes
gazing low at vacancy, his Shoul-
ders dropping; one hand behind
his back, the fingers twi:ching
nervously: the other thoughtfuIly
pulling at his beard-in garb III
litlng, in face homely and i'm
presslve, and in manner patient.
reSoIute, meditative-this was
the figure that Immediately after
discovery became the cynosure Of
a constellation of eyes. Whis-
pered remarks were made, one
by an elderly gentleman to the
effect that the President would not
keep faith with the letter OF the
proclamation. A young girl of
remarkable beauty, who hung
upon lis arm, and who had been
gazing on the subject of the doubt
with undisguised admiration.
looked up rather scornfuIly and
SAID: "Won't ne? Pm not afraid
OF lt-you shall see" and reIin-
gushing the gentleman's arm, she

air OF exquisite grace, aud paused
almost in front Of Mr.. Lincols,
who stopped in surprise. "Par-

SORGHUM SUGAR - CONNEN-
TON OF CULTIvATORs AND
OTHERA.

tors OF the sorghum and imphee
and manufacturers OF sirup and su-
gar was held at Springfield, I'll. in
the first week of last month. In
diana, Illinois. Wisconsin and
Iowa were represented, and a
number of inventors, having i'm
proved apparatus and machinery
for extracting and concentrating
the juice, were present. From
the conversations which took
place at the convention we learn
that there is quite q variety of
sorghum and imphee. Mr.. j.
Nj. Moss, OF Waverly, Iowa, re-
lated some very useful expert
ence. He stated that there were
five kinds of black imphee, one
OF sorghum and two of yellow
imphee. The large yellow i'm
phee rlpens too late for seed, but
In making sirup he knew no diff
ference between the different
kinds. After being made into
sirup it all turns TO sugar in eight
months afterwards. Out of
quantity of sirup from which
100 pounds of sugar were obtain
ed, there was only one pint OF
sirup left. He makes sugar sim
ply by boiling down The sKup.
and any process of evaporation
which ohviates scorching is suit
able. After boiling down the
slrup, he sets it away in a cool
place and allows II to stand,
stirring 1t about once per week,
and without any other treatment
1t gradually granulates and turns
into sugar. 1t is singular fact
that the sirup does not taste so
pleasant during the period of
changing to the granular state.
Most of the 2,753 gallons Of sir-
up which Mr.. Moss had made
in the Fall of 1862 has now be-
come granulated, and he exhibit
ed several samples of the sugar.
In obtaining slrup the cane is
first crushed between iron rollers
and the juice transferred to evapo-
rators to be concentrated. Mr..
Cory, of Indiana, exhibited and
explained his evaporator. He
stated that the Chinese sugar
cane was the best for sirup and
sugar, and that Otaheitan seed
was worth its weight in silver.
A committee appointed to ex-
anime and report on sugars and
sirupS stated that the samples
were so very numerous that they
could not designate any one as
having a claim to superior ex-
cellence, but considerable i'm
provement had been made during
the past year in the manufacture
A committee appoin-
ted on seeds reported that opin-
ions were so various that no def
mite conclusion could be arrived
at respecting the best kind of
seed, but the yellow imphse of
African cane was the most suita-
bic for obtaining sugar, and that
seed Of a medium size, between
the largest and smallest varieties,
to be excellent. More
experiments, however, were ne
cessary to determine which was
the best.
The conclusion arrived at from
the proceedings Of this conven-
ion are that the cultivation of
he sorghum and imphee is a
success in the great West, at
least for the production of sirup
for home use, but low far it will
be practical to manufacture the
sirup and sugar from it Tor sale
aud export remains to be deter
We believe it only wants
perseverance to insure. complete
success.

AFFAIRS IN MISSISSIPPI.

From the following dispatch it will be OBJ
served that collision has at last occurred be.
tween the contending armies in the vicinity of
Nicksburg. Willis. the information conveyed
in the dispatch is not 60 cheering as we could
desire, we can see nothing in it to encourage
the belief that Vicksburg is more endangered
than before. or that i.s fall must result from
the partial defsa. Of our forces after nine
hours severe fighting. Edwardss Depot,
where the battle took place, is understood to
be a station on the Vicksburg and Jackson
Railroad, between the Big Black. river and
the city of Jackson. To engage the enemy
our forces had to leave their strong positions
around Nicksburg, and eross that stream,
which runs in southwesterly d.
rection, and empties into the Mississippi
some thirty miles below the city. After the
battle onr forces fell back bshind the Big
Black, on the Vicksburg side Of which our
line Of fortifications commence. The presence
of Gen. j. L. Johnston will iEfuse new conf
dence in our soldiers, and the country will feel
measurably relieved when it ID generally
known that he is to command in person at 60
important point.
