Tt. is im portant thai the juice be pressed out, straiped, clarifiei) and concentrated to about half, its; bulk as soon as possible after tlie plant is cut, ' in order to prevent tlie formation of glucose. The final concentration should be effected with 1 caution over a slow fire to prevent the conver- j sion of crystalizablc into uncryst lizable sugar, j the principal ingredient is molasses. Inthc'first place,*filter tlie juice of the plant, j as it comes from the mill, in order to remove j the cellulose and fibrous matters, and the starch, all of which arc present in it when expressed. *A big filter or a blanket placed in a basket will answer this purpose. Next, we must add a sufficiency (about one ounce to 10 to 15 gallons) of rniTk of lime, (that is, lime slaked and mixed with water) to the juice to j vender it slightly akaline, as shown by it chaflg ang jeaacnea litmus paper to a blue. A small excess of lime is not injurious.. After this ad- ( dition, the juice should be boiled for about fif- i teen minutes. A thick greenish scum rapidly j collects on the surface, which is to be removed , by skimmer, and then the liquid should again j be filtered. It will now be of a pale stra<v color; and ready for evaporation. It may now , be boilod down quite rapidly to about half its original bulk, after which the. firo must be kept low, the evaporation to be carried on with great caution, and the syrup constantly .stirred to prevent It from burning the bottom of the kettle or evaporating pan. Portions of the syrup are to bo taken out, from time to timo, and allowed to cool to see if it is dense enough to erystalize. It should be about as dense as sugar-house molasses, or far. When , it has reached this condition, it Ijpay be withdrawn from the evaporating vessel, and be placed in tubs or casks to granulate. Crystals of sugar may not begi n to form fot three or 1 four days, .or even longer.

LUPTON. x . ~+~~~ The Draft to ms Promptly Enfobcf.d.? The Washington corresspondent of the New. York Herald writes: As the time for the draft approaches, much anxiety is manifested to procure substitutes, which is increased ny the facl that this district is still over two thousand short ofits rjuota ard a draft is inevitable. Substitutes are hard to get; however, and bring from five to six linn drcd dollars when found. It is understood to be the determination of the President to enforce the draft promptly upon the expiration of the fifty days, at all hazards, as it is evident, that reinforcements to the armies in the field must be had to .secure entire and final success'; and, if a sufficient number of volunteers cannot be obtained, drafting must be resorted to. ? .. ^ t The New York Tribune expresses the opin- ] ion that-not one-third of the journals of that f . city are paying current expenses, and adds : "It .1 is notorioursly true that the capital invested < here in newspapers f? paying po profit what- i ever.1' 1 * umm 'sr-lLV J URNAL r ntlDAl MORSIWC4, SlJPTr. 9.

"We hav&Seen out for several days, and .tlie articlo is much heeded. " As the summer vacation is drawing to a close, and our scliools are abouj to bo re-opened for the fall term, we deem it not inappropriate to olFer a few remarks touching the rates o( tuition. And we do this in the hope to at some of Our exchanges, of Wider circulation than our own, wilt take up the subject, and call attention to the propriety of Establishing, in soma way or other, a uniform rate of tuition on a basis at once liberal and just If this is not done, it is greatly to be feared that many of the beat teachers in the State will Vvn fnrr?orl ^ nl>A?. J 11? *? * .vs?*.<;u vu uuiiimuu iut)irscuoois, ana too standard of education, already deplorably low, will bo reduced to a grado discreditable to us as a people. , Wc ailppose it will be readily conceded that a liberal education is, at least,, as intrinsically valuable now,' as it was in the palmy days of peace, and U?t a competent teacher, who devotes his entire timo^nd^ energies to tho instruction of youth, is as valuable a member* of society as ever, and as much entitled to be paid a fair compensation for bis labor. And yet there seems to be a disposition (we are not speaking of Camden in particular,) to tie him down ton small advance upon the rates of tuition, current before the war, while ho is forced to pay from fifteen to twenty prices for what ho buys. This is not only illiberal but unjust. It should lie borne iu mind that the evils of a depreciated currency and high prices fall with heaviest weight upou professional men; and, among provisional men, upon parsons and schoolmasters. Many lawT ycrs and physicians, Che great majority, in fact, of country practitioners, are planters also, and measurably independent of all mankind iu respect^o their bread and butter. Many clergymen are also planters; but who ever board of a schoolmaster that owned a plantation? ' We iou't believe there is one in the world: if there is, his ti ionds *ouj;ht to take out a eommifiainn ?? _ t ..^WM luaucav. It.follows, thon, that us the schoolmaster^ loreed to' buy everything ho consumes, he oughtrto bo porraittcd to graduate his charge in some measure by tho scale of his expenditures. This is only what oyoij' other class in tho community has already done, and is so obviousl}' just and fair that no exception ought to bo taken to if But there is much difficulty in fixing any rate at all, and espeoially ono wtaieh shall be fair and equitablo. Teachers aro not an organized class like the doctors and lawyers, and have not the same facilities for securing concert of action among themselves that these have. The rates which may be established by tho Modicnl Society or by the .Bar are accepted and observed by every member of tho profession; but tho teacher has no socurity against underbidding, and it is a moiancholy fact that while every body wants the best lawyer tho best doctor, and so on, down to the best bootmaker, that money can procure, the great majority aro quite content with cheap ichooling for their ohildren regardless of quality. In view of the scarcity and dearness of all the necessaries of life teachers generally throughout the State have "hcou c.nnp.lied to rai*o their rates of tuition ; hut. how !ia:- no concert of action in the matter mul tin new. ratio *f,ry, indifferent localities. to an extent ..mi.-st ludicrous. We have examined a great many advertisements and h%re a#ea no two alike. The natural consequence of this- is much dissatisfaction imong parents and guardians, who. use the low terms jf some as an argument to euatain the chargo. of exnnvnganco against others. The proper remedy for .his stale of things is a Teachers' Convention, and our object in ponning these doeultoiy remarks is to suggest iiio propriety of holding one. Such a convention might lo much good, in other ways than establishing rates if tuition; but that is most pressing subject for consideration, and we boleivo that if a respectable body of lolo'gntcs were to adopt and reoommand a fair rate, it woiiid bo generally followed by the profession and be rhoerfully acquiesced in by the commuuity.

The following tabl<? may je studied with considerable interest by every amily.. They will show the mode Of preparation, the amount of nutriment, and the time required for the digestion of the most common irticlea of food placed upon our tables. A dolor's worth of meat, at twenty-ftve cents a pound, goes as far as fifty cents' worth of butter, at naif a dollar a pound. Three pounds of flour, at eight cents a pound, is said to contain as much nutriment as nine pounds oif roast beef, which, at twenty-five cents,-is $2,25 ; that is, twenty-five cents' worth of flour goes as far as nine times-that much money spent for roast .beef, as weighed at the butcher's stall. A pint of white beans, weighing one pound, and -costing seven cents, contains as much nutriment as three pounds and a half of roast beef, costing eighty-seven and a half cents. Of all the articles that can bo eaten, the cheapest are bread, butter, molasses, beans and rice. A pound of corn moal (Indian) goes as far as a pound of flour; so that fine? family flour at sixteen dollars a barrel, and corn meal at four cents, the latter is j ust one-half less expensive If corn an(Lwheat were ground^ and the whole product, bran and all, were made into bread, fifteen per cent, of nutriment would be saved, vif.li mnr?Vi ^ ?1-L' '?fTl1 ?- ucaiiuiuiuose. jLncse are standard tables: Quantity of Mode of Amount of Time of Food.

Retaliation.?A delicious piece of retsti*tion was visited upon the Yankees on our Ernes day before yesterday. It seems that on a considerable portion of oflr lines in front of Petersburg there had existed a tacit truce for soteral days, during which the Yamhees, without fear of disturbance, atrtfled and kmfed in large numbers'in front of their works. Oar men-re-* ceived orders not to interfere with them anles* Petersbsrg was again shelled, bnt in that case to open upo^ thein without notice the most destructive possible fire. Thursday morning, the Yankees were out in great numbers, enjoying the fine weather and the early morning air.?N . For half an&honr, the Yankee batteries had' been playing upon the town, knocking private houses to pieces and endangering the lives of"- ( non-combatants, but the Yankee strollers gave ' the matter no attention, not then believing: that it could concern them in any way. Suddenly a tremendous volley of musketry was- r poured into them from our works, throwing ,? them into a panic pnd causing them to scam-? per oacK into tbeir .trendies like so many startled.rats. The best of it was, that they left abtwfc two hundred of their nurab'ir Iving* deaii or wounded on their recent pr v.- id.;.
