Affecting Scene.

A most affecting scene was witnessed at
Spartanburg few days ago. Rev. W. O..
Kirkland, member of the s. G. Conference
"a man lovely in character and beloved
wherever he was kno@p;-died on the
Greenville circuit, after short illness, of
pneumonia. His Presiding Elder, Rev.
W. b. Fleming, who was with him when
be died, took charge Of his remains, and
brought them on to Spartanburg for inter-
ment. a.
About the same time Mrs. Durant, Cthe
venerable mother of Rev. 81. b. Durant,
deceased, member of the same Conference,
who died from disease contracted while
serving the army as chaplain, and whose
memory viii ever be cherished by the
Methodists of South 'Caroliua) also died,
and both Mrs.. Durant and Mr.. Kirkland
were funeralized at the same time and
place. There were two hearses at the church
doors, and two silent sleepers in the chan
eel; and large congregation of sympathis-
ing friends listened with solemn attention
to a discourse by Rev. De. Whiteford Smith,
pronounced with his usual eloquepce. The
world is still full of trouble and Of sin
but the good, alas !are passing away.

The L1BERALrTY OF THE SOLDIERS
Rev. DR.. Lacey recently stated, in Rich
mond, that after religious service, on late
occasion, with the 18th Mississippi Regi-
ment, the soldiers, by unanimous vote,
desired him to tender to the authorities Of
Richmond, for the use of the poor Of that
city, one days rations in every week out of
their allowance. The soldiers are them
selves on short allowance: These particular
soldiers are far away from their homes, with
no opportunity, therefore, Of receiving sup
plies from their friends. There is no op-
portunity to purchase in the vicinity of their
camps. They have to- rely solely on their
rations. Out Of these, they offer days
allowance in the week to the poor of a
strange city They ask to fast, that the
poor Of the city, in whose defence they have
so often braved death, may eat! Truly,
this is charity! They said that the people
of Richmond had been kind totbem, as
occasion served, and they wished to express
their gratitude. Only the generosity of a
soldier could desire to make such overflow
ing return We are pleased to say that
their offer was kindly declined. But it de-
wolves on the people Of Richmond, in whose
name and by whose wishes it was declined,
to make up the proposed gift in double
measure to the suffering among them
Meanwhile, let the 18th Mississippi be held
in the most honorable remembrance

Impressments.

The paramount and self-defensive power
of Government which exhibits itself in i'm
pressments nts-which is our scheme Of teder-
alton belongs properly to the States several
~, but has been delegated under conditions
to the common agency and representative
of the States-may be conveniently consid-
cred under three divisions: =
l. The impressment of military service
(conscription.)
2. The impressment Of labor.
8: Impressment of provisions or other
property.
The power is one of great difficulty and
delicacy in its exercise in any form and un-
der any circumstances, and requires more
discretion, calmness and moderation than
have been generally exhibited by American
legislators and Governors and Congressman
and Executive Agents. Gross abuses have
been committed within the last year under
all branches ofimpressment, and itbecomes
all good citizens, without recrimination or
factions opposition or partizan prejudice,
to recur to the law and to great governing
principles, and to prepare themselves by
proper information to hold all enrolling or
impressing officers and others claiming or
using or abusing any of the supposed pre-
negatives and seiziug powers of Caesar, to
a strict accountability at the right time.
This is election year With US in our State
Administration. It is not too soon for cleo
tors to begin to look around for the right
men, and to select men not because the
men seek or desire an ofioe-and perhaps
an exempting ofice-but because the elec=-
tors need good and true men.

Sugar from Chinese Sugar Cane.

SAAAA4SSS SS&6S~&
It has been generally supposed that su-
gar could'not be made from the Chinese
sugar cane. We are happy to be able to
state that this impression is erroneous.-
Mr.. NJ L. Green Of Fort Valley, Houston
county, has made one hundred and fifty
pounds of sugar from the Chinese cane dur
ing the past season. A sample Of Che su.
gar may be seen at thissofice. Mr.. Green
has kindly furnished ms with an account Of
his simple process, which is 40 follows: =
The juice is boiled in the same way as
for syrup. Continue the, boiling after it
has arrived at that point, but very slowly
The heat must be steady. Bubbles will
be formed upon the surface, which in ten or
fifteen minutes, will burst; when that oc-
ours, take off the syrup put it in cooling
vessels, either trorghs or kettles. Il must
remain undisturbsd for two days. Then
put into drippers, and process is complete.
It is not necessary to use any foreign ingre-
dient, either lime or soda. The sugar made
by Mr.. Green. is an excellent article.
This process is discovery Of great
value. Families and the army can now be
eheaply supplied with this necessary article
Let a.quantity of cane sufficient for this
purpose be planted by both large and small
farmers. 80

nas- The Piedmont Railroad, as the NJ

RG The Piedmont Railroad, as the new
Confederate Danville connection is called,
will be of vital Importance in the event Of
the lower route via Wilmington and Wei
don being seized, but it is only in the event
that it can be so, from the fact that although
it will furnish double line between Rich
mood and Kingsville, it will there unite
with single line through South Carolina.
Perhaps, however, the pressure on the roads
might be lightened by bringing all the
freight and produce from Eastern and
Southern Georgia, and Eastern Alabama by
way of Savannah, Charleston and Florence
to Wilmington, and thence by the way of
Weldon and Petersburg to Virginia, while
all other freight from Georgia and points
South would come byway of Augusta to
Columbia, and so by the Charlotte and
South Carolina Railroad, the North Caro-
lima Railroad and the Danville connection
and Richmond and Danville Railroad to
Richmond. There is less than ten miles Of
the Piedmont road to be finished. "'' '

South Carolina, says: ....... -
Nothing has been done towards raising
the ill.fated iron clad Weehawken, and it
is doubtful if any,measures will ever be ta-
ken to rescue her from the shifting sands in
which she lies imbeddsd, thirty feet below
the waters surface. The task of removing
such an enormous weight at so great disadS
vantages is one which neither Government
nor the contractors will willingly undertake.
The varying. currents where she sank have
fixed her there immovably. The Keokuk,
which went down on the morning Of the
9Th of April, 1863, will also probably never
be brought up.

THE BLACK F1Aa-FooD QUESTION

The BLACK FLAa-FooD QUESTION
In recent speech at Lexington, Virginia,
Judge Brockenbrough said: F..
Make no prisoners when you meet the
Dahlgrens, the Kilpatricks, the Averills,
with their gangs of freebooters and thieves.
I am convinced that such q policy is.the
most humane in the end. It will sacrifice
many worthless lives, but it will save many
valuable ones. 1t is the only efectual way
of teaching our enemy that be cannot vio-
late the laws of war with impunity.
Gentlemen, farmers Of Rockbridge, there
is only one danger of a a!.disastrous termina-
tion Of this grandest drama ever enacted on
the theatre of human affairs. This drain
created by the presence within our State of
great standing armies upon all the fruits Of
the earth, vegetable and animal, is enor-
nous. The army must be subsisted, but
non.producers and non combatants at home
must not starve. But with wisdom on the
Government, in equalizing the drain upon
the resources of the country, and wise,
rigid and necessary economy in the use of
every article of subsistence for man and
beast on your part, I am convinced that
there is food enough in the country to salts
fy the absolute wants of our population
Let every man among you resolve to dedi-
cate uuaagging energies to the production
Of, food. Let him make two blades of grass
grow where but one grew before, and he will
be worth more to hiscountry than the whole
tribe of politicians put together Let Paul
plant and Apollos water, and God, even our:
own God, will give us the increase.

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF THE LAST YAM.
KEE RAID AGAINST R1oHMoND.-The
Albion, the English organ at1New York,
uses strong and notvery complimentary Ian
.guage to the Yankees relative to the burn.
ing of -four mills and dwellings in the
South. We copy:
No matter in what direction a raid takes
place, arson and plunder arc now consider
ed to be legitimate orders of the day. Bur.
ming up plantations and farms, demolishing
grist mills, and turning helpless inhabitants
out to starVe, which ought to bring the per.
petrators of such deeds to court martials-
are triumphantly quoted as proofs Of enter
priseFand valor.
1t is strange, too, that this atrocious and
impolitio system is approved by people
who have not shown themselves, so far, ad.
dicted to wanton cruelty. We have, how.
ever, no hesitation in stamping it as dis
graceful to the arms, and calculated to bring
i'll will upon the cause of the North, among
The North's most abidingfriends. y y
1t will be held, and rightly, that the des.
truction of railroads and ofpublic stores
and provisions isa entirely different mat
ter from the indiscriminate application Of
the torch. Does not the fendish glee with
which these devastating processes arc des.
cribed fully bear out our oft-made assertion,
that war is not and never can be moral
purifier? There is something humiliating
in the avowal that, with hundreds of thous.
ands of brave men in arms, a nation should
be called ppon to admire Touring mills laid
in ashes and happy homes made desolate.
Neither should it be forgotten that, while
the seeds of eternal hatred are thus deliber-
ately sown, the narrators of these exploits
contradict all their previous assertions that
the South was universally starving.

number of officers, clerks andsattaches in
the employment Of the Confederate Gov
ernment in Richmond, and at atthe.vasious
posts throughout the country. The infor-

1t will show the extent Of the Wastefnl ex-
penditure as well as conscript evasion, re-
sulting from the multiplicity Of Offices and
subdivision of duties in the various depart,
ments and bureaux. The returns SHOULD
exhibit the age, sex, nativity, pay anfper-
quisites Of the various employees, a1d'when
received should be appropriately classified,
