A REMARKABLE PROPHECY.

Twenty years ago Mrs. Henrietta Wheelnston Booth
invited in Europe ~ and American family If Iar,e
possessions at the South to travel through tho slave
States, and for herself their actual condition
rhymed reply was this singular prophecy
You tell me Of a bright land far over the sea.
But an can you call it the land Of the freeg
Where the image Of God for a handful of gold.
Like beast Of the field, in the market is sold
where the child from the mother FOND bosom Il form
Where the father is chained leaving orphans oror1,-
Where the maiden is battered like merchandise ware
Then doomed to the lash and the groan Of despair.
Woe woe to thee, fair land far over the main;
Por the canker Of death--duk slavery stain
Shall gnaw to thy vtal- while every sigh
Prom the vctum who writhe mounts FIR in. tee o. high
And he, the great Lord Of the universe wide
Shall smite thu full thy strength and thy pride;
Por vengeance must fall for the eruelue- done
On the beings redeemed by his own beloved son
The sound Of the wardrum shall thrill thee at night
Al thy and thy brothers arc borne to the -ht
The downtrodden slave wiring thy with PAIN
And the North and the South be divided in twain
And brother gainst brother shall strike in the ight
And battles be fought in the dead of the night;
Aud the white maid aud widow in sorrow shall mourn
And the Gass Of thy freedom in t,ttcrs be torn.
The North in her might ike a whrlwind shall rise,
And the notes Of tho cam be borne to the skies
And though the warm blood Of her heroes Dee she'd
The light Of her freedom shall never DE dead;
TIL Stars and the Stripes Excelsior shall be-
Proud Liberty's banner from land nd 10y sea;
And the Union, tho spurned by the siychoders scorn
Shall be guarded by Mortimer for ages unborn

The NATIONAL EXECUTIVE Cow
MIrTEE.-llenry J. Raymond writes
to Governor Ward, of New jersey
claiming that no person has a right
TO call meeting Of the National I'm
ion Committee, except its proper Off
Ger, and that he being that proper
officer, is the only person authorized
to call the Committee together, and
that no meeting otherwise called can
have any binding authority. AS the
Chicago Journal well puts it: Sup
pose Mr.. Ray should die, will he
argue that there is no power left the
National Committee to assemble
Mr. Raymond is dead-politcally
dead-to the Republican organiza-
ton, and the members ofthe commits
tee should proceed precisely as in the
event of the decease of its Chairman,
majority Of whom can fill the va
cancy, or transact any other business,
and the party which re elected Mr..
Lincoln will recognize its action as
binding.

SORGHUM SUGAR.-Much il

by which sorghum mola assess is al
most instantly converted into sugar
The syrup is driven off by centrilu-

the results as follows.
"This discovery must Of course
work a constable change in the sac

ghum flourshes pretty much in all
the States and territories Of the In

be made to grow, and farmers,
through this simple process, will now
be enabled to supply themselves with
all they need in the way of sweets
AS the machinery is by no means
costly, we presume the Improvement
will generally be made available.
Sugar must become cheaper and its
consumption greatly increased
Fruits, large and small, which now,
on account Of the cost of saccharine
matter, are greatly wasted, will be
preserved to much greater extent,
and healthy and invigorating food
thereby secured. This invention may
be considered as one of the greatest
of the age, remarkable as the present
era is for its utilitarlan application OF
scient tic discoveries and principles.
The forces employed are without cost,
and require no education to govern
and direct them. After the molasses

every one comprehends, the turning
