CORN SYRUP.

Ii may be two years since we announced
that a German chemist in Buffalo claimed
to have discovered a process whereby the
starch of Indian corn might be readily trans
muted into sugar, whereof 1t has long been
known as the chemical equivalent. His
patent was bought soon atterward, by COM
pany in this city, who have since been expo
rimenting with it, under the direction of Mr..
A. T. Ockershausen, the eminent and life
long sugsr-refner, IL Rose street.
We looked in there few days since, and
CLEANED the following facts:
/. No marketable sugar has yet been made
under this patent That which alone has
been produced in any quantity is what IL
known as grape sugar-difiering in the form
Of its particles from cane sugar, and not
convertible into the latter by any known
process, nor acceptable as a substitute there
for. 1e lsa ~
2. Syrup, of very fair quality, is made
Of corn under this patent, and may be to any
exent. We do not consider it so intensely
sweet as cane or maple sugar of equal
density, but we could detect no alloy or
other FAULT in it. We should judge that 100
gallons of corn ryrup are about equal to 20
of equally thick cane syrup. The color OF
the two does not materially differ.
g. The starch Of the corn is separated for
syrup precisely as it is for the production Of
the edible corn starch Of commerce. Be
yond that point, we did not observe the pro-
cess ;. but presume the transmutation Of
starch into sugar is akin to that whereby
alcohol is obtained from grain.
4. Mr.. OckershaiIsen says that bushel
of corn yields three gallons of syrup worth
seyenty-fve cents per gallon. The residuum,
(gluten, bran, &c. sells at twenty cents per
gallon for feed.
This is all of consequence we learned ON
our visit that we have not since forgotten.
No; in single flask Of the syrup shown US
there was an unmistakeable and quite con-
siderable deposit Of crystals of sngar-real
sugar-in the bottom out how caused we
did not learn and we understand that the
company 10 more than we understand why
this particular flask crystalized, whileother-
did not
How far the company consider their in
vention or process success, and whether
they still hope to produce unexceptionable
sugar from corn, we did notenquire; but we
believe they are satisfied that syrup from
corn is fixed fact, and one Of decided i'm
portance.-N Y Tribune.

THE TELEGRAPH SYSTEM or THE
- UNITED STATES.

The Telegraph system of the United States
Is rapidly becoming very complete. or
course the lines Of telegraph follow the lines
of trade and travel, and consequently do not
as vet. cover so closely the Southeastern
States as they do the rest Of the country.
The American Telegraph Company and
the Western Union Telegraph Company, by
means of contract with Canadian, Nova
Scotia and Newfoundland companies, ON the
one hand, and with Southwestern and Pacific
companies, On the other, have together a
complete system Of communication over the
entire territory Of the United States. They
have, too through the Newfoundland compa-
mics, practically an exclusive connection
with the Atlantic cable, If il ever be laid.
Their lines, and the lines with which they
are thus connected, began at Cape Race,
Halifax, and Farther Point, ON the north
east; they go to New Orleans, ON the south
west they reach San Francisco, on the
Pacific, and through California, the British
possessions to the north Of Oregon.
There are two wires through the length Of
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick; three 9TH
ers between Bangor and Boston; thirteen
through wires from Boston to New York /;
fourteen through wires between New York
and Washington; two between New York
and Pittsburg; ten between Buffalo and
Chicago.
South Of Washington they connect with
all the important towns on the Atlantic
coast, and Augusta; and an inland line con-
meets Lynehburg, Chattanooga, Atlanta,
Montgomery, Mobile, and New Orleans.
In the Northern Stas.s there are Stations
in almost every town, and between all the
largest cities there are several distinct routes.
West Of the Mississippi, they reach
Western Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Salt
Lake. Two wires run from 81. Louis west
TO Omaha, Nebraska, Territory; one runs
from tie same place to Fort Smith, Arkan-
sas, connecting with the line 10 Houston and
Galveston, Texas.
From Omaha west, one wire runs to Dem

Very SeFsafi0naI-An Innocent Man in
state Prison-Is Released, RepusIiated
by his Wife, Marries Another, who
Good Naturediy Turns him Over tn
the first ON his Innocence being EstsS-
IisIied.
About the spring of the year 1850, a Mr..
Garnett, living near Auburn, n. Y, was ar
rested for fogery. He was tried, found guilty,
and sentenced TO three years imprisonment
in the state prison at Auburn. He denied
his guilt to the end, and being a man of very
sensitive feelings, and having a wife and
family, it bore quite heavily upon him.
He served his time and was released, mere
wreck Of his former self, despised by his
once loving wife, who refused TO live with
him and Stunned him as guilty eulprit.
Sad and broken-hearted, he disposed Of his
property and went to central Pennsylvania,
where he married beautiful and excellent
young lady. tHa
They lived happily and prospered. seve-
raj years after his departure, the first wife
became fully convinced that he was innocent
and had been wronged. This conviction
proved true BY the death-bed confession Of a
man who ACKNOWLEDGED the commission Of
the crime of which Mr.. Garnett had been
cODNlcteu. Inc sOrrOWlnR WOnldn Eepeilbeu
her former act, and with friend wen. in
pursuit of her discarded husband, whom
she seemed to expect to find somewhere in
Pennsylvania.
After search of several weeks, they at
length arrived in the neighborhood of the
object of their search. Just at dark they
drove up TO the door Of snug and pleasant
little cottage, when Mrs Garnet entered
the house and there beheld her once-beloved
husband apparently happy in the society Of
his second wife. She rushed up 10 him, and
throwing her arms about his neck, wept
bitterly. Soon the scene became affecting,
the two wives clinging to him, each claim
ing him as her husband
After calming their feelings and can1idly
considering the case, the second wife deci-
ded TO give up the husband, believing that
the first had ne lawful claim. After a few
days Mr.. Garnets ana h;s first wife removed
TO the vicinity Of Rochester, n. y. where
they now reside. The second wife makes
them an annual visit, and Mrs. Garnet keeps
her supplied with all the neeeGaries Of
life. I'D

The Commissioners appointed by the
Congress Of last year to consider the question
Of taxation, have included among their re-
concentrations on the subject, that Of a tax
Of FIVE cents per pound ON raw cotton. The
gentlemen who have made that report appear
to have been actuated by bitter spirit Of
hostility to the prosperity of the South and
to have shown it in the teeth Of the principle
that taxation has an economical limit. That
cotton, the great source Of Southern wealth,
should have been selected for 20 enormous a
tar, while wheat, corn, and the immense
basis Of taxation made up Of the staples Of
the North, 90 free Of excise, is a clear indica-
ton Of the conclusion that the Commission

CONFEDERATE MoNEY.-A JUDICIAL
DEcrsIoN.-The following decision was rem
dered by the Supreme Court Of Louisiana on
the 30th of January:
Defendants, J. Bloom & Co., on being
sued by plaintiff, ]. Strauss, for the amount
of draft left with them for collection, an
swered that the amount of said draft was
collected in Confederate currency, which
defendants say they are willing to pay, and
ask therefore that the suit be dismissed. In
sueing for the amount collected, and not for
the draft or its value, the defendants con-
tended, in the Supreme Court that the
plaintiff had thereby ratified his acts in re-
ceiving Confederate currency, and are bound
thereby. The evidence showed that notes
deposited in hank for collection prior TO the
date of suspension OF specie payments on the
2lst of September, 1851, were not collected
in Confederate currency unless under special
instructions. The draft sued on was de-
poSited before that date. Now the defendants
did not show themselves to be authorized to
| give such Instructions by their absent prin-
cipal. They failed to show that they made
| n special deposit of the funds received in
payment of the draft, but itappears that said
| funds were mingled with their own-in
! Confederate currency. BY using the amount
of the draft they became the debtors to
| plaintiff, and must pay in currency, unless
they show that plaintiff ratified their act
What they received and used was money
| Confederate notes are not money-they must
satisfy the plaintiffs claim in money. Judg-
/ ment affirmed.

The drinkers Of lager beer have been
little puzzled, and perhaps bewildered, Of
late, by contest concerning the relative
merits of different brewings Of lager beer.
Sometime since, number Of leading brew
ers, having desired a process by which the
defects of the old system Of brewing WOULD
be overcome, and the amount Of starch
wasted would be saved, tested the system
proposed by an eminent practical chemist.
They found they were thus enabled TO con-
vert the entire starch into sugar, to improve
the beer in it, strength, and its keeping
qualities, and to brew regardless Of the sea-
son. The new beer found favor in all re-
spects, and was rapidly superseding the old,
when those who adhered to the ancient pro-
cess cast about them for mode TO keep their
breweries open. They raised the cry Spa
tent beer" and intimatej that the pleasant
beverage was compounded Of something else
besides malt and hops-that it ought to be
spelled " bier" in English as well as in Ger
man, being an ingenious device for carrying
people to their graves. So persistent was
the cry that many honest people fancied
they could taste terrible things in the new
drink, and complained accordingly. II Is
alleged, indeed, with what warrant we know
not that a man was offen called 10 pass
judgment az patent beer" upon some Of the
old beer specially doctored for the occasion.
The brewers under the new process, after
submitting to these attacks in silence, have
at last chosen to reply to them in a legiti-
mate way. They have submitted their
beer te the analysis Of eminent chemists, in
comparison with the beer made by the old
process, and the result, as win be seen by
communication elsewhere, is 4 triumphant
demonstration in their favor. Nevertheless,
If any prefer the old beer, he has only to add
a little water in which starch has been dis
solved to the new beer, to reproduce the old
and suit his palate exactly.--NeC York
