SoRaHo SUGAR.-Atfer ex perimenting
for i've years, Mr.. Robert Moore, of Bloom
ington, Illinois, has discovered method
OF crystal .aaiion, by which the syrup from
1inphee and Chinese Sugar cane can be ad-
vantageougly reduced to sugar. Sugar
from sorghum has heretofore peen pro-
duced on small scale, but no success has
attended the efforts to manufacture it ex-
tensively, and to bring it into market at
reasonable prices. During the past year
Mr.. r. Moore has made about six hum
6red pounds Of sugar, and samples of it
sent to us show i. to be OF very good quail
ity.
While all kinds of cane syrup can be re-
'duced 10 sugar, it is now agreed that the
1Mphee variety is the most profitable, on
account Of the purity Of it's Juice and the
superior richness OF its saccharine matter.
Mr.. Moore states that he can produce SUI
gar in large quantities, as. quickly as it is
obtained from the ordinary sugar cane, and
at prices fAr more satisfactory to consul
mers than those now prevailing. The es-
tinnates are based on one gallon of syrup
yielding about five pounds. of sngar, Jeav-
ing an excellent article Of molasses.
If the ex pecta.ions raised by these state
ments shall be fully realized, the reduction
in the price Of what 10 now an absolute ne
cessary Of life, will be boon to every
family, the va,ne Of which will be especi-
ally felt by the whole woTking-class.
We expect to be able shortly 10 give par
iculars Of the process Of manutact ure used

So, under the enlightenment of these con.
thar our decisive victories in the South are
inculcating, Canada turned q short corner,
discovered that the rebel refugees and rob-
bers within her lines were not the gentle
men she had taken them for, made laws
that eblige them to clear out or keep the
peace towards the North, has tried to catch
and return oil the overt murderers and
robbers that she could find within her bor-
ders, and TO make provision for the repay
ment Of the money that by the help Of her
corrupt police and judge they had stolen
from our banks, and are now generally
and prayerfully studying the things that
make for peace and reconciliation with her
y ankee neighbors.
All this is happy and encouraging; and
the more so, TOO, from fact not generally
known, that the reactionary proceedings in

From the Weekly Dispatch, January 49,
REMARKABLE PHOTOGRAPHIC EX-
PERIMENTS.

The Florence correspondent Of the Morning
Post, writing on the 7th inst, reports the de-
tails of most remarkable Photographic expert
ments on the eye of a murdered person. 1t
appears that on the 18th April, End June, and
22nd August last year, three murders were
committed in Florence, in almost precisely
similar circumstances, the victims In each ease
being clearinghouse keepers. In each case
q The corpse was discovered lying on the floor,
with the throat cut from ear to ear, a pool of
blood below her head, but only there-no
marks Of blood IN any other part Of the room
and a pocket-handkerchief, the property of
some unknown, close to her person. The
trinkets and money which she was supposed to
have about her had disappeared, as well as
other articles in the house. AS no cries had
been heard by the neighbours, the conclusion
come TO by the Florence police was to the eff
feet that the murder had been perpetrated, in
all probability, by two a~ssasslns, who had OBJ
tanned admittance into the house when the poor
woman was alone, under the pretezt of wish
ing to see and hire her rooms; that one Of them
had suddenly thrown a pocket-handkerchivf
over her mouth and brought her to the ground,
and that, when thus held fast and her cries
efectually stifed, his accomplish had cut her
throat"
Such was the conclusion come to by the po-
lice, and, in particular, by its chief cficer-the
Capo Commesso di Publica Vigilonza, Leopol-
do Viti-who, amongst other steps taken by
him in each case, applied to the higher admin

GENERAL ORDER.-Tbe expeditionary corps
of Mexico has made itself row a gallant troop
that has rendered, in hot climates, real services
which have been we'll appreciated by the in
habitants Of those regions. The company Of
Creole Volunteers are about to return to the
West I0dies. That company, formed at Fort
defiance in September 1862, is composed ex-
cIusively Of CreoleS of Martinique and Guada-
loupe, who voluntarily tffer,d to come to Mex
leo to participate III the glory Of the metropoli-
tan army. They landed at Vcra-Cruz on The
18Th Of December 1862. AS igncd principally
to guard localities along The coast, they had
not opportunities Of assisting in the larger opc-
rations Of The army in lie interior Of Tie coun-
try but, wherever employed, they cyinced Il
fuluess Of devotion and ardour, and a mod,l If
discipline. Occupying in turn Eera-Cruz,
Medel.in, Iompico, and Alvarodo, ihty gave
daily chase to the gueriIla5 i~nIestiug the euyi-
rons of those towns. In the month Of Deem
Der 1862, they assisted in the battle Of Meadero;
and iii July 1864 they took a glorious part in
the Conejo exp4digian. On these occasions
they gave proofs Of a yalour, which only re
quircd a larger field to show itself 10 full advar-
tage. On the point Of taking tLeir departure,
the Marshal Commanding ia ChieI tenders his
thanks to these brave young men, who have
voluntarily devoted two years Of their lives i'll
being useful to their country ia Mexico; in
which circumstance they have shown them

Secondly, it is cloar that the King regards
the Confederation as he fucto if not DE Jure at
an end. There are in his mind but two Ger
man Powers in existence, Prussia and Austria,
and it is for them, and them only, to dispose Of
Germany, Legally speaking. Lauenburg, which
has always been q State Of the Confederation,
lies at the disposal Of the Dict, can be trans
fcrred from one dynasty to another only by It's
vote. The King, however, refuses blankly TO
admit the Diet to any voice III the mattcr,-
refuses, that is, to allow to Germany as Il whole
any ~voice'in the disposal Of one Of its integral
parts, announces cmphatically that the question
rests between him and Austria alone. Tho
smaller States have no right even OF protest.
If he and Austria can agree to divide the spoil,
we'll and good, if not, they must wait till they
can, but united or divided, Germany has moth
ing to do with the affair. That explicit an
nouncement is the death-warrant Of the Con-
federation, which, always believed to be a sham,
has now ceased to be respectable even in the
eyes of those who have employed it. The lit
tie Princes are deprived of their sole guaran-
tee against rapid Or gradual absorption, and
must therefore either yield, or rely upon some
external power, or form themselves into a sepa-
rate and Il fighting Confederation. In either
case the peace of central Europe, uubroken for
fifty years, must ere long come to an end.
Lastly, the Kings declaration that he waited
only the consent Of Austria was mede on the
10th November, just two months ago. Since
then no further step has been taken, and the
conclusion is obvious. Austria and Prussia are
not yet either in open or in secret accord. They
have not arrived at the understanding" Of
which the Kiog spoke, and until they do, the
fate Of all the k~ingliogS in Germany trcmbles in
the balance, and the Diet, which commenced
the imbroglio, awaits in uneasy impaticnce the
order for its extinction. The negotiations are
still going on, the Prussian King having at last
sent his own brother to move the kaiscr'a mind,
and the future Of Germany may be hanging on
the intrigues of the next few days. If the two
potentates can agree the three DQchies will be-
come Prussian, the Diet will be set aside, tho
minor powers will be oyerriddcn, and Germany
Will be divided either in fact or openly into two
great States. If they cannot, Herr Won Bis
mark will be driven either to conciliatc a Par
lament which can be tempted only by national
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, or to show that he has the
courage1to defy a Power which, unlike Den
mark, can move armies more numerous than
his own.

FIRE REPORT,

With respect TO the fire at ~"lorOft'' on
the 23d January last, already reported, |
have perused the Investigations, which
were closed on the Bird instant, and which
corroborates the opinion given in my first
report, that the fire arose from the care
I~essness of a Waterman who occupied one
Of the four o0ms in the house DESTROYED.
He had left his room at 4 O'Clock in the
morning to call the Oyerseer etc, and
while milking the cows about 5 o'clock.
he saw his room on fire and attributed it
to his having left a candle burning in The
room stuck fast on a cross beam close
the wooden partition, in the next room to
which some cotton was stored; which
origin of the fire is corroborated by the
other evidence given, and the prevalent
dangerous customs of the laborcrs of fixing
their candles in the manner described IN
stead of using candlesticks.
Besides the house itself all il contained
of cotton and the effects of the 3 indivi-
duuls who occupied the rooms were des-
troyed, the value of which has been COM
puted TO 500
but the respective owners having renounc-
ed on compensation, no further prosecu-
ton has been ordered against the indiyidu-
ais in question, who got off with a severe
reprimand.
The premises were not insured so the
whole loss falls upon the respective own
ers, who by paying a trifing amount Of
SIS, would have had the opportunity of
having the whole amount ofloss $500 re-
imbursed.

Brevet Brig. Gen. G. A. Grosvenor, Pro-
vost Marshal General Of Augusta, Ca, has
placed himself on the record as one of the
most extraordinary men the war has de-
yeloped. A brace Of gentlemen Messrs.
Thomas s. Metcalf and Leopold Cohn :
having good thing in prospect, offered
Gen. Grosvenor the snug little sum of
$4,000 to decide % cotton question in
their favor. Strange to say, the General
couldn't see it, and the speculators were
arrested for an attempt to bribe an officer.
Cohn admitted the truth of the charge,
and Gen. Steadman, to whom the case was
referred, decided as follows:
That said Leopold Cohn shall leave the
Department of Georgia within twenty
four hours, to-wlt: On or before II O'Clock
NJ of the 18th day of August, 1865, and
take up his residence at point not nearer
Augusta than Charleston, s. c., and not
to return during the military occupancy of
Georgia, under penalty of arrest anL pun
ishment for disobedience of orders.

Notwithstanding the preponderance of fe-
males there is no necessity of any effort to
relieve the community of any large num-

every manufacturing town in New Eng
land, while in Boston, in very many de-

In New York and Phiadelphia labor is
also very scarce. The amount of labor
which is wasted in this country is very
great, and if our philanthropists would
