OUR FRUIT AND TRUCKING FARMS
We havo been favored by the Secretary of our

our city, during tho past year, which have
been sent from this port to tho Northern mar
kct:
100000 baskets strawberries, $4,000 bar
rcls potatoes, 10000 barrels peas, 10000
barrels snaps, 650,000 heads cabbage, 20 900
barrels cucumber, 100000 boxes tomatoes
5000 barrels squashes, 1000 barrels bcets,
10000 bunchcs radishos, 1O0, 900 oantclopes
$4,000 watermollons.
The estimated value received for the aboyo
is 81 ,043 200.
This calculation it will bo observed, does
not include what has bcon received from tho
sale OF apples, pears, plums, cherries, &c.,
which would probably amount to twenty-five
thousand dollars more
From what wo can learn, the Society has
taken tho greatest pains to ascertain the
amounts produced on our fruit and truck farms
in this vicinity. They have certainly not
overcstlmated them or tho money received
for them.

TUE WORDS This is an uu.
translated Hebrew word, occurring frequently
n the Psalms. Its meaning can only be con-
jccturcl. Most Jewish commentators give
to it the meaning Of "ctcrnally," 'forcver."
Some writer's suppose it to be musical note,
Indicating change Of tone, or equivalent to
the word "repcat," or signifying silence, or
requiring an elevation of the voice. Some
suppose it to be an actual appeal to Jchovah
as "llear Jehovah - Others regard it as in
dicating special degree of Importance in the
text with which it is uonneoted. and as calling
particular attention to it. Whatever may
have been its sense, tho word. seems now to
be unimportant, as it may be taken away from
all the places whore it is found without inter
rupting the meaning of tho Psalm.

SORGUlI SUGAR.

Years ago sorgum was introduced into this
country, under thespecial patronage ofabol'
ltlonism, with the hope that its cultivation
at the North would enable northern people
TO become independent Of SldUe-grolcn sugar
1t was experimental upon, stimulated by
every argument and appeal from abolition
organs and societies, but failed to produce
the brilliant results promised and as labor
unrewarded cannot long be maintained 10
he northern portion of this Union, it was
given up as a bad Job. >"
Bot this project, which was nurtured in
hostility to southern industry, while it failed
OF Its Object, turned out to be to the advan-
tsge OF the south; for the sorghum, like all
sugar producing crops, was found to flour
lsh better and produce greater results 10
the South than at the North. 1t served a
good purpose during the late war, as 1t then
supplied the South with molasses, when su-
gas could not DO obtained.
1t now appears that it will be of great
utility TO the middle States under the new
condition of labor in the country. There
is every appearance now that the sugar cane,
which can only flourish on the shores of the
Gulf and in the West Indies, will not be
cultivated with the same success that il was
before the war, and that the diminished
supply, in proportion to the demand, will
keep sugar at a high price. Under this
state OF things sorghum may be cultivated
with profit, while the manufacture Of sugar
from It will help to make up the deficiency
in supply from the cane.
There is now q company in Louisville,
KY, engaged in the manufacture OF sugar
aud syrup from sorghum. The Democr at OF
that city states that the articles manulac-
turtd by the company are excellent.
The syrup brings readily eighty cents per
gallon in the market. The sugar in every
respect-in color, brightness, and sweet

"Sugar ever made" says that paper, 1t
adds that il can be made tor seven cents per

ted sugar.
In speaking ofthe yield of sorghum per
acre the Democrat estimates that an acre
will produce 800 pounds of sugar or $50 gal
Ions Of syrup, which it contends, will pay
better than corn or other grain.
We do not know enough about the subject
to endorse or object TO these estimates but
assuredy at the high price of sugar sorghum
must be paying crop. We would suggest
to Captain G. Y. Morriss, the eDterprisiBg
sugar rehuer in this city, the propriety of
of looking into the subject. The people
would cultivate the crop freely il some GER

THE Two TICKETS The Administration
ticket, headed by General Walker, has
made great inroads upon the ultra Radical
ticket, headed by Governor Wells. We
learn that more than half the State Execu-
tive Committee appointed by the Peters
hnrg or wells Convention are in favor of the
Walker ticket. This fact, when first
brought 10 the knowledge ofthe ultras, crea-
ted great CONSERVATION. The ravages of
dissatisfaction" are like the undermining
operations Of the Mississippi, which causes
the shore to rise and fall, and the trees to
wave in the breeze, premonitory to their
general precipitation to the bottom of the
waters.
There is really nothing left in the way of
opposition to the Administration ticket save
the bankrupt advertising; aud this places
Wells very much in the light Of the bank
rupt candidate. Ii the commissioners in
bankruptcy were to change their views, and
propose a change of advertising medium, in
