He paid glowing tribute to the capac-

SUGAR CANE FLOUR.

While all the papers are giving very
general and useful information with re-
gard to the manufacture of syrup and su-
gar from the Chinese Sugar Cane, We do
not recollect to have seen a reference to
it's advantages in the production of bread.
An intelligent gentleman writes us, "As
wheat crops were light i'll some portions OF
the Confederaey, and the staff Of life like
ly to be scarce, it may be well for your
readers to know that excellent biscuit and
fair light bread may be made from the
-four OF the seed Of Sugar Cane. I have
eaten of the bread myself, and found it to
be very good. The gentleman at whose
house the bread was prepared, informed
me that from one acre OF the white seed
cane, he obtained tour barrels OF -four. l
understand the crop is remarkably fine in
ali parts Of the country, and as the time
for harvesting is here, much suffering msy
be saved by carefully saving the. seed.''
As this information comes from one who
has seen the thia. tested, it would be we'll
to give it trial. WIS @.ssss
Another gentleman lnforms l.s that he
has never tried anything better for fat
tening hogs. He fed it last fall, and says
he he verhad better pork in his life. 1t is
certainly first rate for poultry, and some
people say it is respectable substitute
for coffee. .-1AOingao'ss Vairg;niaan. ..~s

HAVE our people read the account of
the fiendish atrocities lately committed on
the Eastern Shore of Virginia, where poor,
helpless women have been obliged to sub
init, under overpowering force, to the
most brutal oEtrages. Some fleeing for
their lives to the fields and woods, after
being bruised until their shoulders were
blackened with the blows others tortur-
ed by the most inluman degradation that
Gevllish Inst could infict upon women

These cases of extreme atrocity are not
rare. They fill columns of newspapers,
and many and many a case transpires to
