WIN. J. YATES, Eso-Dear SIR: friend has
kindly placed in my hand copy of the Democrat
of Sept 22d, containing the proceedings OF d
meeting held ct Monroe in Union county, n. ",
on the 18th September inst. L was glad TO see
this for [ earnestly desired to see Old Union
county put right before the State, the Contederacy
and the soldiers who have so nobly on many a
battle field defended the fair escutcheon OF the
State. and sealed it with their blood.
Tbe csc resolutions breathe the true spirit OF a
people who are determined to be free and who
when once they take stand, never rceece from
their position. This much / can say for u MON
county, that she possesses brave and patriotic
people who are wiling to spend their last doar
in the defence Of tile South; and send her last
son to do battle for her independence And as re-
CARDS the independence of the South, L ana all
other soldiers regard it as fact already accom-
plished. which the Yankee vandals will sooner or
later be forced to acknowledge Our army is now
in better condition and is much larger and more
effective than at any previous period OF the war;
and if Government would stop the demon OF specu
lation either by placing all men in the army or by
converting the Confederate States into one grand
military camp and work shop, permitting nothing
to be either bought or sold and allowing no pay to
the soldiers or any civil or military Office In the
Confectionery, making all men do their DUTY Tor
nothing, and allowing any ratiops to those at home
the same as in the army. and toEce. all the grain
and other provisions their quota to feed the
army. the Government issues wouldober good at the
end of the war; and there would be no necessity
for a further issue, whilst all would be ted and
clothed This is the best policy that L can oon-
ceve Of for it would suit the largest class OF both
our citizens and soldiers-fhey being poor men.
If something is not done their families must suffer,
as the Spectators have so deprecated our cur
rency and the prices OF Provisions SO high that
they cannot buy enough even of the necessaries
to sustain lite at 81 l per month.
earnestly hope that the Hon. VIM Lander
will be eleetel to Congress as ! believe he is
pure and patriotic man, and will do all In his
power for the; good OF the country. GzE.

The London Times says:-It is not believed
that anything is really known of the plans contem-
plated by the French Government for establishing
the future financial position of the Mexican en-
pire. 1t is, however, reported that the nearly iso-
lated peninsula Of old or lower California, divided
from Sonora by gulf 700 miles long, called the
Lake of California, or Vermilion Sea, will be the
territorial security cedede to France. It con-
tains some sixty thousand square miles. It
abounds in silver, gold, lead and copper mines, and
islands covered with forests of cedar trees 1t is,
moreover, the nearest point in Mexico to the
French possessions in the Pacific.
The London "Morsing POST of the 18th has a
special telegram from Paris, announcing that the
Archduke Maxinillian has positively accepted the
throne of Mexico. -. -, - ss-r-t r5.+
The Times says that there is no reason to antici-
pate any trouble from the manner in which the
United States will regard the proceedings in
Mexico.
: The alleged alliance Of Russia and the United
Sfates.-A French paper, the Paris Pays, of Sept.
I'd, says:
Among the numerous reports which have been
put into circulation within the last few days we
observed one referring to "a treaty of an offensive
and defensive alliance between Russia and the
United States of America. 1t is necessary to OBJ
serve in the first place, that the journals which
have aided to circulate this report have only done
SO matter of rumor, having no serious tounda-
ton; and, stronger reason, no reliable docu-
ment has been produced in support of their asser-
tions.
At the same time we admit if necessary, that
the idea of such treaty has been conceived.
Which Of the two powers will it. serve? What
practical application can it ever receive? What
assistance can Russia, engaged in continental
war, give to the United States of America? What
force these States place at her service, and
how could they ever arrive in her territory?
On the side, if the United States were to
declare againt France and England, would a
Russian squadron be able to force passage
through any point guarded by the French and
English aeets? If Russia had any hope of doing
so, would she consent to dsmantle Cronstadt and
her other ports and harbors to send her forces to
the assistance of her allies across the Atlantic
ocean?
We thus see at glance that there is nothing to
indicate the existence of the treaty spoken of, or
ever that the States have dreamed of it; but
though such a document were really signed, it
could never be Of any practical utility.

FROM THE TRANS MIssIssIPPI.-The Atlanta
Intellig encer has had conversation with off,
from Louisiana, who crossed the Mississippi
on the 9th inst without any molestation from the
Federals. 1t says: 81.
This gentleman brings us most cheering news
from the Trans Mississippi department. Our army
is in fine condition and of formidable strength;
they are in good spirits and eager for an advance
of the enemy in Arkansas. Except few unim-
portant points on the Mississippi, and that part
of country directly opposite New Orleans, the
enemy occupies but a small. portion of West
Louisiana. =
No fear is expressed of our ability to successful
ly defend the Trans Mississippi Department

few days since. He obtained a Through of egh-

as Gordonsville on bis way home, when he heard
report that the Yankees were advancing in force;

SYRUP MAKING.

AS planters in this section are all engaged

was at Mr. J. B. Dozier's few days ago, and
as I am satisfied that his syrup would take the
prize at any syrup fair in Georgia, think am
doing the people service in describing his method
After stripping the blades off, he cuts down no
more than he can grind in a day, lest it should
sour in the stalk: He starts worry early in the
morning, and grinds rapidly as much as will ELL a
kettle before he begins to boil, and never adds any
more juice to that ketteoa1 He strains the juice
through coarse cloth into BARREL and then
when he puts it in the kettle strains il again as he
pcurs it it in. When the Juice is boiled down to
one-Gfth of its original quantity it begins to make
wrinkles like cows NAV, and ropes from the
skinner when it is poured out. Then jets of
syrup are thrown from the boiling surface five or
six inches high. The fires are now lowered and
some syrup is put in dry pan, and the pan in
cold water to see how the syrup runs. A glossy
appearance like Oil the surface, is observed and
tie syrup is taken out of the kettle with buckets,
fast as possible. A bucket or two Of cold
water is Immediately thrown into the kettle, and
before any more juice is added it is washed out
clean as it was at first. This prevents the burnt
syrup which otherwise would stick to the kettle
from spelling the taste of the fresh juice. Fer
the same reason he does not begin to boil until the
kettle is filled with juice, he would thus cook
the first more than the last; nor does he add any
fresh juice to the boiling syrup. man stands
by with perforated SKINNER and skins off every
particle of froth that comes to the surface He
puts in no lime, nor potash, nor soda, and the
syrup tastes SO much like sugar that at dinner
neither he nor was able to tell which pastry was
sweetened With sugar, and which with syrup of
his mannfactNe. sfhe first kettles are boiled
down by one O'clock, and the second by 8 or
o'clock at night; thus giving time for the hands
and teams to rest until morning.
