SORGHUM SuGAR.-We have re-
ccived from Nr. T. s. Preston, Of
Lyu,hburg, q specimen Of sorghum su-
gar manufactured with the apparatus
patented by Welles and Hatcher, of
Louisville, aud owned by the Southern
Company of that city. This specimen
is Of the unrefned sugar after the pro-
cess of separation from the molasses. 1t
is very pretty, much more re6ned and
pure than tie FIRST product of sugar
from the cane. The granules are beau
tiful, and the taste very agreeable, re-
miuding US Of the once famous and pop.
ular crock candy" which children
"cried for" before the candy makers had
Invented so many captivating varieties
Of sweet things. With such sugar. as
the specimen sent US by Mr.. Preston,
Produced from a crop which is 50 lux
urant and so easily cultivated, we see
no reason why we may not make our
own sugar, and rather become sellers
than buyers of the article. The appa-
ratus now offered to the public is said
to be very simple and efficient, and not
to be costly. We trust this enterprise
may be fully examined and tried. II
it is all tina is claimed for it, We GER
trinly have a new source of economy,
aud therefore of thrift, opened to our
Unconstitutional Di<putch.

TUE CUBAN QUESTION.

The London Post Of the 22d instant
a conservative Whig organ-has an
elaborate editorial article On the Cuban
question, in which it mentions that ii
is asserted that President Giant has a
longing eye upon Cuba, and would not
be unwilling to distract the attention
Of the people of the United States from
watching the course Of Internal affairs
by war with some foreign power. A
conflict with Spain cannot leave any
doubt respecting the issue, unless Eng
land and France should Interfere. A
blow dealt at Cuba would be tantamount
to blow dealt towards the whole ofthe
West Indies, and the acquisition of
Cuba might be followed by that of ia
maica and Martinique. The same pa
per quotes the recent acquisitions Of
territory by the United States as
proof that it wants to acquire by piece
meal all the possessions held by Euro
pcan powers in that latitude, and would
naturally commence with Cuba, because
it belongs to the powers having set
tlemcuts in the Nest Indies. France
and England will doubtless determine
whether these designs against Cuba
will be tolerated, or aid Spain in retain
ing her colony.
The French press has asitated the
question much in the same tenor, and
special meetings of the French Cabinet
were held on Tu: sday and Wednesday,
which resulted in a special envoy being
sent last night to London with dispatch.

of events.
The Spanish loan of eS,000,000 was
launched here to-day through the me-
dium of j. s. Morgan & Co., and is
meeting with success.

We learn from Berlin that Prus-
sian officer who was iu the Confederate
service during our war, and who was on
duty at Charlie. ton, has communicated
to the Prussian Government The secret
of the construction of the torpedo of
American invention, which was found
very service bic in the defence of Char
lesion halbor. Experiments were late
ly made at Kiel with this particular
torpedo, in the presence of naval and
military officers designated by the gov
ernment and they were perfectly sue
ccssful, as they blew vessel, which
had been prepared for the purpose, all
to pieces. The officer Won Scheliha)
who communicated the secret, has re-
ceived an appointment on the staff OF
the Prussian service.

The New York Tines docs It relish
the idea of war with England. 1t
SAYS: owe concur in the Zen raj view
of the case presented by Mr. Summer in
his recent sp, ech. But we confess we
do not sec how evc1 on that basis friend
ly negotiations are to be easily opened
between the The Two government for an
adjustment Of differences. The tenor
anu tendency Of hat speech is toward
war, rather than peaceful settlement.
And Senator Chardler's proposition in
the Seuatc is unquestionably and avow
edly in that direction. The paramount
object in both cases is to compe! Eng,
land to do what will most huniliate her,
iu satisfaction of the wrongs she has done
lis. This cannot BE- dOue by negotiation.
1t can only be done by war; and when
ever the attempt to accomplish it in that
way is resolved upon, We hope the job
will be let out to Senator Chandler and
lis constituents. They seem to have
more leisure on their hands just now
than the rest Of the country"

REMARK ,BLE DEATH.--A few days
since a man named Thomas james, re-

and his friends were unable to discover
any cause for his sudden demise At

SpAIN.-Tne Spanish Constituent
Cortcs, now engaged in the formation
of a national Constitution, are en-
bodying in it dccress each of which IS
a long step forward in the direction of
a republican form of Government. The
adoption of the universal suffrage arti.
Gle has been followed by two others,
each of which is positive feature of Il
free government Of the people. One of
these guarantees cutire liberty Of the
press, an amendment proposing mod.
crate censorship having been voted
down, and another establishes the right

Thus, Mr. Henry A. Wise, of Vir-
ginia, lately remarked that the South
has been more than rccompenseG for
all the trials, sufferings aud losses Incl
dent to the war, by the overthrow of
slavery, and subst ntially the same SEN
ment ii reiterated by some of the prom
iuent Southern journals. To the nation
at large, the resuscitation of the old in
dustries of the South and the iuaugura.
tiOu of new ones is of the highest i'm
portauce, and the quicker they become
vitalized and quickened, the sooner will
national, financial and commercial pros
perity be reached. Enabled to commence
the new year with handsome results
of fthe product oflast years business, the
South may well in 1869 grow crops and
raise the ncccssaries of life in such
abundance as to place it in independent
pecuniAry circumstances, the idea has
taken firm hold of the planters that
under tie new condition of things, Il
smaller area of land better cultlvted
must be the order of the day. Again,
it may fairly be assumed that The freed
men, having little recovered from the
exaggerated idea naturally entertained
upon their emancipation, will work more
steadily than heretofore, while the plan
ters will have learned that fair wages are,
in the end, more profitable than the cost
of labor under the old regime. While
the Cotton crops will be the great pro.
duct of the South, there will be increased
manufactures erected, and with them
will spring up innumcrable towns and
village, bringing in their train, without
doubt, Il higher state ofprosperity inevl-
table than has over hitherto been
reached.

PIG IRoN.-An invention for the
rapid manufacture Of pig iron has been
perfected at Marquette. The AdVcr-

cess the inventor can convert the Mar
oucttc ore into malleablc iron in f. rty
minutes, manufacturing with such "a
pi lity also as to turn out thirty tons a
day. The fusion is most complete, and
the quality of iron produced compact,

before the contract had left the bureau
