A Queer Letter.--J. Wilkes
Booth Redivivus.

The Norfolk Post of Saturday
contains the following singular let
ter:
MoREHEAD CITY. Jan. 3, 1866.
Eiitor Norfolk Post: Sir have
just arrived in this place from -,
where ! saw and talked with John
Wilkes Booth, the supposed assassin
of your late President. That he
would be alive after what had oc--
cured at your capital may seem
very strange, but it is true ncverthc-
less.
| saw him and B. Harris, who left
with him not four weeks ago, and
learned from him all the hardships
that he underwent in leaving this
country. He says that no one who
has the least regard for truth will
say that he was in Ford's Theatre
on the night OF the l4th Of April
last, and wonders why no one pres
ent on that occasion did not pretend
to recognize the man that shot Lin
coin until they were told that it was
him by Laura Keen, his bitter enc
my. He did not, however, to me
deny or admit that he had done the
deed: but stated that no one could
truthfully say, of their own knowl'
edge, that it was him.
He declares that Mrs. Surratt was
innocent, and wonders how the man
that WAS killed in the barn looked.
He learns from the papers that ho
had n very heavy beard, and had
shcared or cut it in such au awk-
ward manner that his Booth 81 in
innate friends would not recognize
him As Booth. He thinks not He
believed. innocent or guilty, that II
found he would have been sacrificed
to their mad fury, and concluded 10
leave, which he did. And ~ there
can now be- no harm in telling. | will
state what he tcld mc--omitting
names.
He crossed the river at George
town: stopped the next day near
Fairfax Court-housc; next night he
was taken near Middlcburg, where
he remained two DAYS; and after
more than three weeks travelling
mo. t.y by hight, and suffering Sc
verclv-bc reached Florida. where
he was detained for some time, until
Harris who was not mentioned in
the affair. and who could not appear
publicly, procured boat. which
they vcn,ured 90 s.a in. ana made

The last and most delicate opera
tion of the kind has been made on
the person of Capt. Pcasc, of New
Orleans, by u Court Of Inquiry
which gets Off the following lucid
opinion:
THAT the reorganization Of the
system of government of schools,
by Capt II. r. Pcasc, Sith L. S.
Colorcd Infantry, was attended by
unnecessary conilSion; that there
was no attempt to miSIcad or de-.
fraud the government; but the i IN.

porting the alterations Of those rolls
to Y. W. Conway, Assistant Com

proving officer, was neglect Of duty.

which cost our venerable Uncle Il

WHAT ARE WE TO DO FOR SUGAR

WHAT ARE WE TO DO FOR SUGAR !?
The almost entire abandonment
of the great sugar estates of Louis
lana, as such, on account of the de-
monstrated unfittedness of free la
Dor for it's production, as well as the
largely increasing prosperity and
consequent demand of the world of
consumers, have already led to an
immense rise in the price of one of
the most valued neccssarics OF life.
Nor is there the least reason to
doubt, in the opinion of those best
qualified to judge, but that this
enormous rise will be followed by q
corresponding increase for many
years TO come.
The necessity must stimulate re-
newcd attention to the experiments
which have been made with sorghum
or Chinese sucar-cane. 1t has been
grown successfully, we believe, iD
every State. from Maine to Texas,
Georgia to Minnesota, but fourishes
with peculiar luXuriance in the cot
ton States. IL possesses marked adj
vantages over the common cane, in
ripening three months sooner, in
growing readily from seed, in being
easily worked, and in opposing but
/ little obstacle to the extraction of
! the saccharinc matter. 1t has been
estimated that. with proper cultiva-
ton, it will yield 1000 to 2OO0 pounds
of sugar to the acre, and as high as
46S gallons of molasses to the acre.
We advise our planters who want
to make money. to give a little
thought TO this sorghum. Ihare is
a fine fortune for tie men who shall
znpply cur breakfast tables with a
pleasant waolcsome article OF sugar
and syrup at moderate priccs.--J5-
