disloyalty sin, and takes the ground
that no Southern minister guilty Of dis
loyalty can como back into IL fold, az

synod Of Kentucky, becauseit 'shas wholly
failed to make any deliverance, the past
year, calculated to sustain aud encourage
our Government in its effort to suppress

bellion." 1t condemns "the civil rebel
lion for the perpetuation Of negro slavery
as great crime, both against our national
government, and against God" Il drops
from its roll the. names Of those Southern
Presbyteries and Synods, which Elm Of
der to render their aid to establish By
means Of rebellion q separate national ex.
istenoe, and to conserve and perpetuate

organized the General Assembly of the

the Rebellion tie atinual produce of sugar in

which has since diminished to abort 10 900 Or

quantity raised this year will not greatly ex-
ceed that of 1853. and says:
To promote this important aud desirable
end--thc revival of our sugar cuture-it is
necessary that our planters should be alive to
a serious danger which threatens their future
ard that is, the loss of the seed cane, the
extinction or disappearance Of which will make
it work of many years to recover this most
valuable product A large portion of tie
country which Rad been partcd with cane,
on the wcst bank of the Mississippi has been
overAowcd. and the aggregate crop CT this
year will be further reduced from even the
beggarly exhibit of the last season. If sters
are not taken to save all the cane of this sea.

gar, there is reason to fear that for the next
