MANUFACTURERS There are, in Virginia,
but twelve cotton factories, seven Of which are
situated at Petersburg. In these factories,
and the four or FIVE large Touring mills which
are run on the Appomattox near that city,
capital amounting to more than million dol
lars is invested, which pays the stock holders
dividends of from to 25 per cent. per annum.
They give employment also to from fifteen
hundred to two thousand persons, at wages
which enable them to live in easy comfort
Besides these there are twenty large tobacco
factories located there iu which hundreds OF
thousands of dollars are invested, aud in which
hundreds of laborers operate. If Alexandria
could be-, as it ought to be made, manufac-
turing place, its progress would be secured be-
yond peradventure. All the facilities are
here-capital and energy are alone requisite.

THE CANvAss.-In order to conduct the
Presidential canvass with view of securing
ultimate triumph, the New Y ork Tribune very
properly advises: Don't waste all your strength
on parades. Banners, bon6res, cannon, and
torchEght professions don't make voters. Don t
rely too much upon public meetings. Don't
rely too much upon circulars; very few voters
read them. Organize the party thoroughly by
districts, in every city, village, and township.
AS soon as Club is formed appoint active can
vassers. Have district meetings atregular times,
so that the interest of the members may be sus-
tanned. Never mind gatherings for buncombe,
but meet often for business. With energetic
and we'll directed effort, a victory in November
can be obtained.

u L. . fAs- ..- 81 u x q st,
Nh. EDITOR: AS have engaged this
year, on small scale, in II new enter
prise, for this section of the State mt least !;
and thinking probably it might be o!
some interest to some of the readers of
your paper, who are principally agricul
turists; with your permission | have con
clndsd TO give short statement OF the
modls opcrandi and result, of the ntw
process Of manufacturing syrup from the
sorghum cane, as claimed and held by the
Southern Gorgho Sugar Company Of
Louisville, Fy.
The process i. cxscetdn,,!y simple, so
much so that any family, obtaining the
right to do so, may manufacture their
OWN syrup and sugar at comparatively
small cost; very little more than the com
mon way Of making the sorghum syrup
i'll this State First, tEc juice, after being
pressed from the cnne, is deposited in
large poplar troughs OF dc:cca.orS, where
it produces its own precipitation OF the
gu.nmy impurities, causing them to settle
to The bottom Of tic dclccators in the
fo!m OF dcnsc, insolublc sediment, then
being cv..pornt I'll in the two shallow east
iron pans, four feet long and three wide,
for short lirc under uniform heat, 10
the consistency Of semi syrup, it again
passes TO another defeating box, from
which it is transmitted 10y means of Il
swinging cto another cvaporator about
twice as large rs tie two first, and the
,,ti,,c depth. !sitcr being cvaporatcd TO
the proper density in this, IL refined syrup,
dclic:.tcly favored, devoid of that peculiar
taste of sorghum and equal to any Of the
sugar-honse s.ynps, is given.
would not ,rke the responsibility oe
recommending this enterprise ON u large
scale from the fart Tint there exists such
n prejudice against sorghun,--the very
name Of which seems 20 possess IL bad
odor; and to give you m Illustration, Mr.
Editor, | .ook II sample, n few days ago
to your town, and exhibited it to some of
the merchants, in order to effect n sale,
and on my giving rs .tnc rrmc (,orghum)
not one but could detect its nauscating
(?) favor. Being convinced in my own
mind that prejudice had a good deal to do
wit' their decisions, gave ii another
nnm''-- sugar cane syrup-and the Very
first man who cxamincd the sample was
reminded Of "o!d times" when lie used to
cat the eountrymndc sugar cane syrup
and ordered a barrel right would
send to shc mill it. OF course, before
| left him | disabuscd his mind of the
slight mistake, but not to be outtlono he
insisted he always did like'good sorghum,
but hasn't sent for the barrel yet.

Our Board of Relief have not closed their sessions. On Monday evening, of last week, they had quite party of our wealthiest inhabitants who came by a special written request before them. Some of these were sworn to disclose or show reason why certain amounts of money should not be added to their lists, and some refused to testify at all The result was that $2O, 900 of money mostly invested on western bond and mortgage was, or is to be, added to our grand list. It is inti- mated that they, the Board, have sent tout 8 more general invitation for parties to appear before them at their next meeting, Feb. 9th.
