The Western corresponding editor of
the Rural New Yorker takes up the cud-
gel in favor of beet-root sugar, and pre-
sents some very interesting facts bearing
upon the subject He cites the expert
ence and cost in France, and argues that
it can be produced at less cost in the
Western States of this Union. The sor-
ghum he insists is to be cultivated for
the syrup, and the beet-rOot for sugar, as
the cheapest sugar-producing plant. The
i;mphee, he says, will produce sugar, but
he thinks at a greater cost than beet-rOot.
All things 60 to show that the West is
determined not long to be dependent
upon other than home production for its
.sWeetening.

THE GREAT BATTLES IN VIRGINIA.

Especial Correspondence Of the n. 7. Timesl
HEADQUARTERS IN THE FIELD,
fs2 MAR OHANcELLoRvlLLE, Va,
Sunday, May 3, 1866 P. N.
Another bloody day has been added to the
calendar Of this rebellion. Another terrible
battle has been fought, and more fields crin-
soned with human blood. Few more such
days as this viii find no armies left on either
side to fght battles.
Ny last letter brought up the situation to
Saturday morning. 1t was then certainly ex-
pected that the enemy would begin the at
tack as soon as it was day, and our disPOsi-
tons were made accordingly. But the at
tack did not begin. Events proved that the
enemy did design to attack, but he chose to
in manner and at a point different from what
was generally anticipated on Saturday morn
ing. Daylight grew broader, and yet no guns.
Finally, about six o'clock, a brass Napoleon,
looking down the plank-road in front of the
Chancellor House, saw regiment come into
the road, in column, and attempt to deploy.
One or two doses Of canister caused them to
deploy rather irregularly, and more like skir-
mishers on the retreat.
Soon after General Hooker and Staff began
an inspection Of our lines, which occupied full
two hours. Every portion was visited, and
the work Of the night was closely inspected.
On the extreme left new lines were chosen,
and the engineer officers soon marked out the
lines and character Of the defenses to be erec-
ted When the inspection closed, the IL
trenchments were pronounced to be Of the
very best character, especially those on the
right, where the columns Of Slocum and How
ard were posted

By FLORENCE FERCr.

ONCE, long ago in summers glow,
We threaded, you and l.
.7 A gardens maze Of pleasant ways,
Whose beauty charmed the eye
Where violets bent in sweet content,
And pinks stood proud and high.
And from their screen Of ten1er green
Broad pansies, peeping through,
Wore gorgeous dyes like butterdies;-
Cool lilies kept the dew;
And fair and tall along the wall
The climbing roses grew.
The velvet bees in fragrant ease,
Lay drunken with Perfume
s0ng-sparroWs made the gardens shade
TIER fitting coneeHpoom,
And all the air was music there
And all the earth was bloom.
There grew one plant in utter want
Ofbud or blossom-dower-
broke q spray fleaves awry,
And said" The winter hour
VIII crown these stems with diadems-
This bea.s the Christ's sweet flower.
at cheers with bloom the stormy gloom
By chill December Hursed;
And il is told in stories old
That this fair blossom first,
On that blest morn when Christ was born
Into white beauty burst
Perhaps-ah, well, We cannot tell
Ifnuly it be SO;
but repeat the legend sweet
And only this knc g.
That.n The prime Of Christmas time
The Christ's sweet flowers blow.
More pure and clear than any here.
Their snowy discs unfold,
White as a star that meIts alar
Into the mornings gold,-
and odor rare above compare,
Their fragrant fringes hold
This branch I break for memory's sake,
Aud ere descends the blow,
The slender bough 1 sever now
Within our home shall grow;
How brightly there, all white and fair,
The Christ's sweet how'rs shall blow ~
The curtains fold away the cold
The bleak and drifting snow
Red fre-gleams fan where on the wall
The pleasant pictures glow
And fair and white beneath the light
The Christ's sweet flowers blow.
But cold and deep the snow drifts heap
Above thy silent form;
cannot hold my garments fold
Between thee and the storm
I cannot dare the bitter air,
And clasp thee near and warm.
And what to me are light and glee
When all the while know
That cold and deep the snOw-drifts heap
Above thy slumber low
-etf What do care that white and fair
.- Ths Christ's sweet flowers blow?

beast of burden to enable him to pursue
his journey; but what was his surprise
not to find single person alive!
Itappears that band of robbers had
entered the village during the night,
murdered its inhabitants, aud plundered
their houses. AS soon as Akibo had SUIT
tieiently recovered from the Abatement
into which this wonderful occurrence had

exclaimed

shared their iale, Had not the wind ex-
tinguished my lamp, the robbers would
have been drawn to the spot, and have
murdered me. ] perceive, also, that i,
was Thy mercy which deprived me of my

their noise, give notice to the banditti,
and tell them where was taking my
rest. Praised be Thy name forever"

The Trustees of the Methodist Episso-
pal Church of Baltimore recently referred
the subject of closing their Church. by
General Schenck, to Gov. Bradford, but
only elected condemnation Of their want
Of loyalty. His letter in reply to the
Trustees has the following paragraph:
Even now, win venture tosay, not
withssanding the past action Of your Off
cial members, If they will still rebuke the
expression of contempt referred to. and
disclsim all hostility to the Goyel ment or
the flag, your copgresatieu and schools
may again come together and sD)ey all
the advantages they ever did. II you
refuse this, and viii not tolerate the pres
ence of the flag, but rather than either,
choose to suffer your people to be scat
tered, and your children. to go without
religious instruction.. the intelligent com
munity, especially jealous Of all Its rclig,
ious rights, but still perfectly understand
ing the principles on which they rest
will be able to determine where hes the

An EASTERN STORY.

Rabbi Akibo, compelled by violen.
persecution to quit his native land, wan
dered over barren wastes and dreary des-
erts. His whole cquipage consisted Of a
lamp, which he used to light at night 10
order to study the law cock, which
served him Instead of watch, to an
nounce to him the rising dawn; and an
ASS, on which he rode.
The sun was gradually sinking beneath
the horizon, might was fast approaching.
and the poor wanderer knew not where TO
lay bis head. or where to rest his weary
limbs. Fatigued and almost exhausted
he came at last near to village. He was
glad TO find il inhabited, thinking where
human beings dwelt there dwelt humani-
ty and compassion but he was mistaken.
tie asked for nights lodging; 1t was
refused. Not one of the inhospi,able in
habitants would accommodate him; he
was therefore Obliged to seek shelter in a
neighboring wood.
alt IS hard, very hard said he, not
to fad hospitable roof to protect me
against the ilclenency of the weather
but God is just, and whatever he does is
for the best"
He seated himself beneath tree, ligh-
ted his lamp, aud began to read the law.
He had scarcely read chapter. when a
violent storm extinguished his light.
what" exclaimed he, must | not be
permitted even to pursue my favorite
study But God is just, and whatever
He does is for the best
He stretched himself on the bare earth,
willing if possible, to have few hours
sleep. He bad hardly closed his eyes
when fierce wolf came and killed the
cock.
s'N hat new misfortune is this ~ ejac-
ulated the astonished Akibo. "My com
panlon is gone Who then, will hence
forth awaken me to the study of the law ?
Bat God is just, He knows best wha. is
good Tor us poor mortals."
Scarcely had he finished the sentence.
when terrible lion came and deyoured
his ASS
W hat Is to be done now Z" exclaimed
the lonely wanderer. MY lamp and my
coo. are gone my poor ass too Is gone--
al - gone. But praised be the Lord.
Whatever he docs - FOR the beat
He passed = sleepless night, and AL,
