Tho Sorgho nron.

Estimates furnished in answer to circulars
from the Department Of Agriculture, show
that the amount OF sorgho syrup manufactured
from the cane this year will fall over twenty
five per cent. below the amount OF last year, in
the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Mis-
souri,. The gallons manufactured last year as
estimated, were IL, ,203, ,728-this year only 6,
$40, ,882. This great decrease is the result Of
the froGts which visited all the west and north
west during the summer and early fall months.
A larger number Of acres was planted this
year-the cutting OF the southern supply of
syrup, by the rebellion, having led our west :
srn farmers to an increased activity,-and If
the crop had escaped the damaging effects Of
drouth and frost, we should have been placed
upon reasonably independent footing
Statistics show that before the war, the aver
age consumption of moasses reached about
IL gallons to each inhabitant. This was

The recurrence of Presidential election
next fall necessarily elisits discussion as to
the succession. So far az there has been any
expression OF the part of those who heartily
support and sustain the Government in the
present trying emergency, it has been over
Whelmingly in favor Of the reelection of the
present honest, capable and popular incumbent
Of the Executive chair. One of the most sig
nifeant of the recent demonstrations in that
direction was the action of the State Convsn-
tiOn Of New Hampshire, which assembled at
Concord oD the 9th inst. The following i'm
pOrtant resolution was passed without dis
asnting voice, being, in the language Of the
official report, "csrried with thundsrs Of sp-
plauss, the delegates rising to their feet and
waving their hats with the widest Sathusi-
asm."-
RESOLVED, That Abraham Lincoln by the
exercise during the Severest trials and most
dangerous crisis in the nations history, Of un-
equaled sagaeity and statssmanShip, Of mod
GRAFTON and prudence which experience has
shown to be the highest wisdom, by bis spot
less integrity Ofpsrsonal character, above re-
proach, and above suspicion, and by his slowly
formed yet unalterAbis determination that the
triumph Of the Constitution and the Uaion
over Secession and treason shall be tho final
triumph of liberty throughout the nation, has
received and msrited the abiding confidence Of
the people to an extent never awarded to any
other public man since Washington that the
best interests of the country demand that the
complets destruction of the rebellion, and the
restoration ofpeace, prosperity and the Union
should be achieved under bis administration
of the Government and that We, therefore
declare Abraham Lincoln to be the peoples
choice for reelection to the Presidency in
1864,

Fearful D s.titutiOn of the Rebel Prisoners.

The LouiBVi lie Journal says:
Tuesday night We Witnessed q scene that
bsggarS description. Five hundred rebel priS-
oners were brought in from Camp Nelson,
and, without exception, they we're the most
Wretehed looking set We have seen since the
comm enceMent Of the war. MABy Of the poSr
fsllSws were in their shirt sleeves and bare
footed. They were nearly starved, aud their
capture will undoubtedly save the most Of them
from a miserable death. These men were cap
tured from LonRatreet'a command, aud they
state that his entire army il in ahs same mis-
cradle condition. They appear to be veil sat
iSnsd with the change they have experienced,
and, in fact, congratulate themselves uPon
their happy dslivsFsnee from the terrible COR
ditIOn in which they were placed.
There were twenty commissioned Ofsssrs
among them, ranking from eOlonels down TO
lieuteuAnsS; but we Oould perceive ne distins-
tion in their dress from the privAtes. Those
Of them who could boast Of an old piece Of ear
pet, or the remnants Of what was once q shawl
or blanket, appeared TO be looked upon with
envy by their less fortunate comrades. They
were confined in the military prison, and will
be sent to one Of the Northern camps in few
days.

Family Burned Out and Frozen to Death.

Our exchanges, particularly the Western,
contain very many Eotices Of great suffering
and a number of deaths from the bitter cold
snap of the lst The Detroit Tribune re-
ports an appalling disaster in the vicinity of
Crown Point, near the Indiana line, by which
a German named Krutzer, with his wife and
five children, persisted. The Oldest child was
a boy aged seveB, the next boy Of FIVE, and
three girls, all Of less age than the boys, the
youngest but an infant. The Tribune says
"The driver of the stage coach coming from
Crown Point to the Lake, Uia Centervills,
found that Krutzer's dwelling had been burn
ed to the ground, it is supposed the night
previously, but none Of the family were to be
seen. About mile further on, be was horri-

Of mile on its destination, the body of the
oldest girl was found in a snow-drift, with a
shawl wrapped closely around it, where it had
doubtless been deposited by its weary mother
while yet alive, in the hope that some chance
traveller might rescue it from its impending
fate. This corpse, too, was placed in the
coach, and again it started on its way, only
to find, after travelling a short distance, the
lifeless remains Of the mother, with the two
youngest children. The body of the mother
was standing erect in a snow-drift, with the
children id her arms the youngest being at
the breast.

Centerville by the driver of the stage, at
which place they were decently iaterred by

Both branches Of Congress have passed a
resolution extending the payment of the boun-
ties heretofore given recruits till the first Of
March. Though It has not been anBounced
authOritativeIy, It is nevertheless generally ad-
mitted that this action involves a postpone
ment Of the pending draft till the time at
which the payment Of bounties will cease.
This will give abundant opportunity to make
a fnal and decisive effort, where the disposi-
tion to 90 so exists, TO flI the quota assigned
to townships and wards, by volunteering, and
thus avoid the draft It Is not to be pre-
Eumed that anything will be permitted TO op-
crate as poStponement Of the draft for any
deficiency that may exist on the first of March
beyond that period. The final blows to the
Rebellion are likely TO be given next spring
and sunmsr-the men to gil up the ranks
must be forthcoming either voluntary or by
draft-and to get them organized and ready
for operations when the spring campaign
opens, il viii be absolutely necessary to act
definitely and dscisively by that time. Many
military men disapprove of further delay, and
favor the resort to draft at once and this
view is also entertained by some Of the Con-
gressmen and Government officials. The ex-
tension Of the time for payment of bounties
is doubtless intended especially for the purpose
Of securing the re-enlistment ofveterans, which
was proceeding rapidly when the time fer
paying bounties ceased, and will be renewed
as soon as the passage Of the resolution refer
red to becomes known it the several locali-
ties occupied by our veteran regiments.
