SUGAR CULTURE IN OHIo.-The report oil
the Ohio Commissioners of Statistics shows
that in 1852 there were made in this State no
less than 100000 pounds Of sugar. OF this
$1,000 pounds were from sorghum, so that
the point is settled that sugar can be made
from sorghum, and if so, that Ohio can make
her own sugar whenever it becomes necessary
or profitable to do. so. The aggregate value
OF the agricultural products of Ohio in 1862
was $l5l l,s63,574 of this amount the sugar
production was worth 1923, 80, and the mo-
lasses crop ST ,942,854.

A terrible explosion occurred in one of the
buildings belonging to the American Flask
and Cap Company in this city about 8 o'clock
this morning. The building was burned down,
and three girls perished in the flames. The
loss is about $4,000, on which there was DO
insurance. Nearly all the percussion cap ma
chinery 10 the Northern States was in this
building, and the loss is serious one for this
time in other respects than that sustained by
the company.

A State Convention of the loyal portion ol
Eastern Virginia, which had for some time
been in session at Alexandria. for the purpose
of amending the Constitution, adjourned
Tuesday last, after adoptinga provision for
the abolition Of slavery. The same course
has already been adopted by State Conven-
tion in delegates to similar Con-
Ventien have just been elected in Louisiana,
which Convention will doubtless soon place
that State in the same category-and Ten
nessee and several other States will not be
long in following the noble example set them.
Thus the work of emancipation goes on, and
will continue to progress till the treason and
rebellion breeding institution of slavery is ut
terly wiped out and obliterated in all the
States in which it has hitherto existed. Its
fate is sealed, and no earthly power can avert
Its merited doom.

Hon. G. A. Preston, who acted as chair.
man of the late emancipation meeting in Gov
ington, KY, and who is slave owner, said
in his opening address: --a
Fellow CITIZENS 1T is my deliberate
Judgment that the institution Of slavery is
doomed on this continent. The first shot at
Sumter was its death knell. Calmly and de-
liberately then determined in my own mind
TO stand or fall with the Government of my
fathers, and let slavery die from the death
wound inflicted by its own friends.

The Union State Central Committee OIL
Pennsylvania have just concluded their session.
They resolved against any postponement Of
the National Convention, and expressed a
decided preference for Mr.. LincoIn's nomina-
tion. They also recommended that the dele
gates be selected by the people in District
Convention, and not by election in general
State Convention. This is the true plan let
the delegates be selected by the Union people
themselves at their home conventions.

Gov. MORTON, of Indiana, has perfected ar
rangements for bringing into the field on short
notice 100000 fully armed and equipped men
from that State, constituting its militia force,
and known as the "Indiana Legion" An
equally large force of efficient men will soon
be available in Ohio. This imposing reserve
force of two States, each of which has fur
nished more than 100000 volunteers to the
National army, will give an idea of the aetu-
al resources Of the loyal States in fighting
material, and shows what might be done in
the way of raising an army if as is the case in
rebeldom, every man able to do military duty
was placed in the ranks.

Dispatches from San Francisco state that
the Vigilance Committee in Idaho are acting
vigorously against the villains that iniest the
Territory. No less than twenty-four men
have been hanged, while in one county the
Grand Jury have found twelve indictments
for murder, one for manslaughter and sixteen
for assault with intent to kill. The rush of
emigrati on from California and Oregon to
Idaho is said to be immense.

The Baltimore Sun gives the returns from
most of the counties of the late election in
Maryland. The majority in favor Of holding
a Convention is quite large. and of the mem
bers of the Convention elected the Emanei-
pAtionists have 81 TO l9 opposition, with five
counties electing l6 members still to be
heard from. Sixty-one being eleven more
than is necessary to form quorum, the con-
vention will assemble on the 9th inst with
out regard to the course that may be pursued
by the opposition members, and the result of
their deliberations will doubtless be the
speedy and unconditional abolition OF slavery.
The plan of the opponents of emancipation
was, first. to defeat the project by voting
against the Convention being held I'd, cleo
ting majority of delegates opposed to eman-
cipation Sd, in case OF failure Of both the
other projects, to secure sufficient number
Of delegates to leave the Convention without
quorum by absenting themselves from the
place of meeting. They were foiled in all
their efforts, and will be compelled to submit
to the decree which will place their cherished
'tinstitution" among the "things that were. )"
Those who strove so earnestly to thwart the
will of the people, and keep the State chained
to the putrid carcass of slavery after it was
already dead beyond hope of recovery, rallied
and fought their inglorious battle under the
name Of " Democracy"

Gen. -RosEoKANs has seen fit recently to
interfere somewhat with the 'sfreedom of the
press" by prohibiting the circulation within
his Department of the metropolitan Record,
a notorious traitor sheet issued in New York
The article which caused Gen. r. to issue the
prohibitory order is given below. It's tone is
as reasonable as nything hat would be found
in the Richmond or Charleston papers, but
not a whit behind much that is to be found in
the columns of number of other papers pub
lished in the loyal States, which while lament
ing alleged restrictions upon the freedom of
speech, and declaiming against the tyranny by
which they are oppressed, indulge in the ut
most license OF expression, and in any other
country than this under similar state of af-
fairs would not only have their lraitorous
sheets suppressed but speedily find themselves
placed where their reasonable mutterings
would not impsriI theI public cause and outrage
the loyal sentiment Of the country. The fol-
lowing is the article from the Record: EOS.
We recommend to the earnest consideration
of those who still suppose the South can be
conquered, the eloquent and thrilling address Of
the General Assembly of Virginia, that grand
and gallant old Commonwealth, the mother
of States and of statesmen, the birthplace of
Washington, Of Lee, and jackson. The de-
fant tone in which il treats of the efforts to
enslave the people Of the South, and The elo-
quent language Of deuunciation in which it
refers to the barbarous system of warfare pur-
sued by the minions Of the Washington des
pot, will meet an echo in the heart OF every
man who loves justice and hates oppression
We trust in God we shall never see the day
on which the glorious old Commonwealth will |
be subdued and given over to the spoiIer and |
the plundereri to the Buffers and the Schencks
to the licensed burglar and ineendiary, melted |
and encouraged by "thei best government on
the face Of the eartb." AS to the freedom and
of the South, we have no appre-
tensions. Her people can never be conquered;
and, If that were possible, Abraham Lincoln
10 not the man, to accomplish that subjugation."

ADVANCE IN PRICE.-That excellent Journal
the Portagoe County Democrat, which like
the Beacon has been struggling along agains
high price for paper and other printing ma
terials and the general advance of the Decess
aries of life, at its old figures for the past yeal
has at last been compelled to raise its sub
seription price to the same terms adopted by
US, viz: 5000 per annum in advance. And We
are pleased to learn from the Democrat, thai
its subscribers, like those Of the Beacoa,
being intelligent and reasonable men, cheerfully
acquiesce in the new arrangement Akron
Beacon
The editor of the Raleigh Confederate (reb-
eD, in review of the war in North Carolina,
says that Immediately after the firing upon
Fort Sumter, Gov. Ellis, then occupying the
Gubernatorial chair of the State, assembled
several persons, himself among the number, at
the Capitol for counsel and advice. or all
the army of. men whom we there first met,
says the Confederate, answering to their coun-
try's call-Governor Ellis, Wilson, Bradford
Guion, Coils, Storkes, Tew, Meares, Anderson,
Fisher, Campbell, Shaw, Branch, Pender-alI,
all have fallen martyrs in the glorious cause
save Mr.. Guion and ourselves.

States Senate on the 9Th inst by the decisive
vote of 38 yeas to s nays--the nays being

HEAVY SELL or BACHELoRs.-The Chicago
journal tells the following
An amusing scene occurred in a well known
restaurant in this city a day or two since.
A woman--or possibly it might have been a
man we are unable to say pesitively-sent
through tbs post Office lot of delicately in
scribed and sweetseented billet-deaux to vari-
Gus young and old bachelors, informing each
of them that she seen them often o. the street,
and had become enamored.
The note requested the recipient to be at
the saloon in question at three O'Clock in the
afternoon of a certain day, aud to occupy a
position at specified table, and to order a par
tieular dish. One was reques ted to partake
of oysters stewed, another of oysters fried, a
third of oysters raw, fourth of rost beef, &c,
and the enamored fair one agreed to be there
and call for abe same dish, taking a seat at an
adjoining table. Then conversation would
ensue, and they would leave the place togeth-
er.
The waiter in that restaurant were aston
ished at the unaxanpled influx of hungry
gentlemen at three o'clock and for a brief
space there was lively time but gradually,
dawning consciousness of the ''sell'' came over
the gentlemen, and they dropped out one by
one in a very cheerful frame of mind.

TIE NEWS.


No news of importance from any portion
Of our forces in the field.
The rain and mud still holds the army Of
the Potomac in its old position, as well as
that of the rebels under Lee. Recent rumors
represent the rebel General as preparing for
the aggressive, but such rumors are very doubt
fol authority.
It has been definitely ascertained that the
rebels have left East Tennessee, and at
the same time have augmented their strength
in northwestern Georgia. There are no In
dications OF movements on either side in that
region.
Advices from the Cult Department continue
favorable, both as regards operations in Yves
tern Louisiana and on the Texan coast. Our
forces have again taken possession of Corpus
Christi, Texas, capturing some 800 rebels
with quantity of arms, &c.
The rebels continue their movements in
southwestern Kentucky. They have again
been menaeing Paducah, and last advices
from Cairo represent fight as in progress at
Columbus, which had been attacked by
large rebel force and was being gllantly de-
Tended by the garrison stationed there.
No news Of interest from Charleston or
any other point on the Southern coast.

Among the important laws passed during
the recent session Of the Legislature was one
providing for an effective organization of the
Militia of the State A full synopsis of the
bill will be found in another column, and as
il is measure in which all liable to do military
duty are interested, it should be attentively
perused. If the law is fully carried out it
will place at the disposal of the State author
tiles for home defence thoroughly armed
and equipped force of sufficient strength to
remove all apprehension OF repetition of
John Morgan raids, or even more serious
efforts at invasion. And to make the
formidable force thus raised available in case
of emergency, bill was also passed placing
at the disposal of the Governor one million
dollars to be used if occasion requires it in
repelling invasion of the State.
