DESIGN OF THE REBEL MOVE
MENT UN THE JAMES.

NEW YoRK, Jan. 3I-The Herald's
correspondent near Petersburg; dating
the 2Sth, learns that the recent rebel ram
movement en- the James was deeper in
design than appeared on the face Of it.
The rams were to meve down the river
just as they did, and destroy eur poa
teens. Signals, rockets, TO-, were to be
sent up, by which means intelligence was
to be conveyed to General Lee that the
psntoon part of the business had been
accomplished. After destroying the pen
tosns the rams were to prevent reinfsres-
ments being sent from the south to the
north side of the James. Simultaneously
with the above, Lee was to commence a
dashing surprising attack en- Gen. Ord 9
lines, en- the south side eff the james,
having masssd heavy force in front OF
them for that purpose, and attempt, by
overwhelming numbers aud the sudden
ness and brilliancy of the attack, the
destruction of that part Of Grants army

Gress Injustice In Allowing

Can any body explain why Provost
Marshall General Fry should adopt such
aa absard and unjust nsthod of giving
credits on the draft? His order to hi.
suboriinstss is t. multiply the number
assigned to the district BY three; add to
this the credits, appsrtien this ameng the
sab districts, divide these sums by three
and subtract ske credits which will leave
the number Of men to be raised. Thus;
1910 The quota Of this district. ID N3=423e,
Ts this add the years credits Of the dis
trict say $50, making 1870. Dividing
this equally among securities gives each
ss4 New this. county has more credits
than any other in the district, say 200;
subtract tAfs froa gs4 and 764 remains
Divide y64 BY ;, qustisat 2ss, which
veuId be sur quota, suppssilg eur cred

Let US try another and just system
To 14lo add $50 credits, the sum is 1000
dividing this BY 5 gives 4oe; subtract
Monrsss supposed credits Of 200, and
200 rsmaips as eur quota; showing. a clear
loss Of IS credits by the nethed adopted

Why dscs Ger Fry throw aside the

Constitutional Amendment.

Both. branches of Congress have pas
ssd, by the requisite two-thirds majority,
the amendment to the constitution Of the
u, s. forever prohibiting slavery either
in States or Territories. 1t was passed
by the assistance of few Democratic
yetss.
However desirable the total abelitien
of slavery may be, to many in the North,
we regret that any Denet,at vsted for
this proposition. Aside fren the dan
gereus president of the National Gev-
ernnent thus grasping and welding a
power which is, and always should be,
the province Of the States, this is most
unfortunate time fer such prspssitisn
to be adopted. just at this time there is
hope that peace and Union might be
restored by little generous and manly
craftsmanship. If The hope is small,
there is all the more need Of oherishing
and encouraging it, but we much fear that
this everlasting murplot, the negro, GENES
in, to blast the prospect Of peace, and
incite to years mere Of carnage and de-
vastation. 1851
This proposition is certainly an un'
welcome greeting With which to meet
JEFF. Davis peace commissioners.

CONVENTION OF SORGHUM
GROW ERS.

A cenvention of Sorghum growers met
in Columbus, Ohio, Oh the Sd instant, and
proceeded to the discussion of the vari-
sss topics connected with this interest.
The experience of several gentlemen
growing the Serge, were related. Mr..
Branch stated that he had produced two
hundred gallons Of mslassss from enc
acre Of cane, which he sold fer 81 20 per
gallon. He alse produced about thirty
Ave bushels CT cane seed to the acre,
which he sold fer S215 per bashel, max
| ing his receipts 1920 per acre. Mr..
Branch believes the Sorgs the most pre6t-
able variety to plant. 1t was stated that
the cane could be raised at about the
same expense as csrn. Thsgreund shoald
be carefully prepared, and tho seed plant
ed about half an ZACH deep, and carefully
cultivated until iour inches high. Cane
may be kept for weeks without Injury il
protected from the rain and sun, either
by being shocked in the field or stored il
epen sheds. 1t is regarded as better net
to strip the cane which is to be stored
until taken from the sheds to be worked
1t is considered more safe, however, tt
allow the blades to wilt day or 50 be-
fore stripping. Ssus prefer to strip the
blades fren the cane before it is worked
though in large operations this is net al
ways practicable. One Of the best sps.
cimens of syrups en- exhibition was made
from cane that had neither been stripped
or topped. About thirty samples Of su
gar and syrup were en- exhibition. The
Convention resolved to hold its next ses
