HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-We are relia-
bly informed that most horrible affair
transpired on Ship Island in the early
part of this month. 1t appears, so far
as we can learn, that young negro
soldier gained access to the sleeping
apartment of Gen. Mowers daughter,
a beautiful and accomplished girl. about
sixteen years of age. What was accom-
plished we know not, and can only sur
mise from the subsequent results. 1t
appears that a younger child called her
father, and he and the officer of the day
who, upon arriving at the spot, found
the negro in possession of the guard,
who was stationed in the vicinity of
the Generals quarters. 1t appears that
o court martial was at once organized
and the negro soldier sentenced to be
executed by hanging. But the General
interfered and the sentence was sus-
pended, but it is currently reported the
negro was killed inside the fort, put in
a sack, and thrown in the gulf. While
bloody knives and other weapons, bear
Ing signs of having been used, we're
seen on the Island, and under officers
spoke freely of his dispatch and his
well deserved death. yet the negro sol
tiiers were led to believe that the dead
negro was sent to Mobile on u vessel
leaving about that time for Mobile.
While we look with horror upon trans
actions of this kind, and believe that a
brute who attempts the chastity of a
white lady could not be visited with too
severe punishment, or one that could
be considered cruel, under any circum-
stances; vet we might be excused for
thus thinking, for we have deemed the
negro as property and our fathers be-
fore us, and we fought to the best of our
poor ability to keep them as property
the place that God and nature designed
them to keep, but Gen. Mower ct i'd
omne genus sought their freedom and by
might of numbers succeeded, and
taught Sambo that he was as good as
ANYBODY and q little better, he made
couucilmen, and watchmen, and police
men, and other civil officers of them,
and thereby inculcated the idea that
the negro was socially the equal of the
white man, and now Gen. Mower after
doing more than perhaps any one officer
of his class to instil this idea into the
negro's head, has with a vengeance felt
the application of his doctrine. His

that position is desecrated as to her per-
son by the embrace, clawing and feeling
of disgusting negro. No wonder he
complains. No wonder the negro is
missing. But had it been some South
ern born lady who had lost a. princely
fortune by the craft. legislation and
social teaching of Gen. Mower and his
fellows, it would have all been well, and
had the negro been troubled as in this
instance, the party or parties, or persons,
even suspected of breaking the law,
would be held to strict account, and so
we want to hold Gen. Mower. We

PRODUCTION OF SUGAR.-The fact
that sugar in large quantities is pro-
-duced not only in Europe, but even in
this country from the beet root is well
known. 1t is stated that the manufac-
ture of sugar from the beet root has
met with much success in Illinois; what
is there to prevent the people of State
living south of Illinois from embarking
in so profitable business. They are
certainly most highly favored both as
to soil and climate, and particularly in
those districts where the cotton culture
is rather precarious. The idea would
would naturally suggest Itself that the
manufacture of sugar from the beet,
would. in time, materially interfere with
the culture of the Sugar Cane in the
extreme South, and particularly in our
State. For ourselves, we have no APP
prehensions, believing that sugar pro-
duced from cane will always meet with
a decided preference; besides which it
will be time enough to consider the sub
ject in this connection, when the home
supply is so much increased as TO shut
out ali foreign sugars, for we are now
expending nearly SAT ,OO0, 900 per annum.
There is land enough in the State of
Louisiana alone, if brought under
proper cultivation, to produce largely
over a million of hogshead of sugar,
and, unless we have further government
interference, the culture of the cane in
our State will increase rapidly from
this time forward. The recent removal
of the government excise, has already
encouraged many persons to embark in
the sugar culture, and if our political
relations were in more satisfactory
state, an immense impetus would be
given to the business of planting.
