sociation has been re-organized, and they
have selected the old track, and closed the
contract for seventy five acres. They ex-
pect to put up before the spring meeting,
a neat, substantial stand, and during the
year, to make other changes and improve
ments. We expect to see large number
of entries in the stakes, which close the
10Th day of March, 1871. Racing is
always so well and fairly conducted at
Nashville, under the direction of Col. W.
H. johnson and his able corps of assist
snts, that it is pleasure to witness The
contests; and besides the high prospects
OF sport this spring, the large sale of
young blooded stock by Gen. w. G.
Harding, cannot fail TO attract large
number of the lovers of the sport end thor

a cED ABOUT SUGAR,

The total consumption of sugar in Eu-
rD1. ard the United STATES for the yesr
ending April 80, 1870, is estimated at g.,
f2d, 900 900 pounds AGAINST g, 252, OO0,O
pounds for the year 1869. In the United
Sratcs S63, 600, 900 pounds were consum-
cl in The year 1870 against S35, 900, coo
pounds in 1869, being an increes5 of &c.
03o 900 pounds. This estimate shows
that about p pounds per capita were
consumed in the United State for the year
ending April 80, 1870. Estimating the
cost 81 ten cents per pound, it will be
seen that To article costs the people of
this county over $50 100000 yearly.
The worst feature in The whole matter is
that the home production has never, with
tae single exception Of one year (lS5D

We trust our correspondents will not
be impatient with US. We intend to give
each hearing through our paper as fast
as we can find room. In the meantime
we hope they will continue their contri-
buttons, as it is only in this manner the
practical good sense and experience of
our farmers can be obtained and pre-

year, 1861, the amount consumed was
Sl5, 200, 600 pounds, or Il, 900, 900 pounds
less than in 1870. In view of these
facts, we hail with pleasure the recent
discovery of process for converting the
syrup of sorghum into sugar, of which
mention was made by US short time
since. 1t will not only save millions to
the country, but enable every farmer to
supply himself, at a small cost, with an
article of prime necessity.

MANY persons suppose that the word

ANOTHER TRANS CONTINENTAL RAIL
ROAD Since the Pacific Railroad has
been successfully built over the Rocky
Mountains, it is proposed to build rail-
road across the Andes, connecting the Ar
gentine Republic with Chill. the length
of the road, according to the surveys. will
be about l, 900 miles, and its cost 80, 900,
900 dollars. The greatest elevation will
be about 10, 258 feet, and its construction
not as difficult as was the Pacific road.
