90FIDENCE AND CREDIT. The day was dark, the markets dull, The 'Change was thin, gazettes were full, And half the town was braking; The countersign of cash was " Stop," Bankers and bankrupts shut up shop, And honest hearts were aching. When near the 'Change, my fancy spied A faded form, with hasty stride, Beneath griefs burthon stopping; Her name was Credit, and she said Her father, Trade, was lately dead, Her mother, Commerce, drooping. The smile that she was wont to wear Was withered by the hand of care, ' Her eyes had lost their lustre; Her character was gone, she said, For basely she had been betray'd, And nobody would trust her. That honest Industry had tried To gain fair credit for his bride, And found the lady willing, But ah I a fortune hunter came, And Speculation was his name, A lake, not worth a shilling. The villain was on mischief bent, He gained both dad and mam's consent; And then poor Credit smarted, Ile filched her fortune and her fame, He fixed a blot upon her name, And left her broken-hearted. While thus poor Credit seemed to sigh, Her cousin, Confidence, came by, (Methinks he must be clever;) For when he whispered in her ear, She check'd the sigh, she dried the tear, And smiled as sweet as ever. THE WI On earth to man there is but one, His heart can love, his soul can own; Though myriads flit before his view, There is but one to whom l's true That one can sway him too and fro; Can make him drain the cup of woe; Crn give him joy or blast his life; And that one's name is simple wife. But in that name a worid is sphered, A world by all beloved, revered, Who have the sense to know its worth, And spurn the gaudy joys of earth; For that full heart in her dear breast If rightly prized-eternal rest Is not with blissful sweets more rife, Than that pure heart-a loving wife. From the Richmond South. FAILURE OF TilE CHINESE AND AFTICAN SU GARl MILLET (SORGHUM1 SACCHARATU3I) TO PRODUCE SUGAR, Mr'. Edour :-Withi the permission of Ex Governor IHammond, of South Carolina, I send to you for publication the following extracts from two letters, recently received from him. From these, in addition to all other known and recent testimony, I deem that there can remain no longer any doubt of the impossibility of ob taining sugar, to any useful end, fromt the juice of either the Chinese or the African Sugar 3Mi1 Iet. Goy. Hammond had grown these on a large scale-on more than 100 acres-embracing 15 or more of the African varieties. Every proper care was taken for the culture-and a fine crop was raised. No proper expense was spared for the machinery, &c., for grinding the cane and boiling the juice. The results are stated in his letters. But though (in contradiction to former gen eral expectation, and to much prior and particu lar evidence,) it sents ti at sugar cannot be produced from these plants, that conclusion, in my cpinion, detracts but little from their value for this region. There is no doubt that excel lent syrup may be made, even by very rude means and methods-and, by proper means, probably in profitable quantity, for general homte constuptiont. This is entough for us. Also, the feeding value of the green plants is of mtuch importance. Even when I formterly' gave cre dence to the many assertions that sugair could be made, I did not then suppose that the prac tical operation could be profitable here, or as cheap as to buy the stugar mtade from augar cane in hot clintates. I hope that numerous experi ments and fair trial will be ntadle of the Sugar Millet, and of all its varieties, so that the true general value, and the imost productive kitnds may be known. ED31UND RtUFIN. RiEPCLeFm:, S. C.. Oct. 15th, 1857. My Dear Sir: * * * I got my new wheel made, and started my mill again on the 2nd October. But Mr. W ray, who was absent and unwell, did not commn~mee his experiments itn til the 6th October. Ihe did ntot try my battery, but used his little apparatus, with steam evap oration, Ie selected his canes, and had what juice lie wanted, and made I don't know how maniy boilings (luring that and the niext 4 days. The juice was good-standing sever'al times at 10 deg. Beaume. Blut neither by his patenied nor any other process coulti he make sugar from his Imphee. lie has brought up suoe syrutp which he thinks will grain yet. I don't think it will, or that sugari can be mnade from either the Imphee or Chinese cane. I dare say both of them have a smatll portion of cane sugar in them, but I fear not enough to be worth look ing after. If the saccharine matter indicated by 10 deg. Jieaumte were cane sugar, this plaunt woul be far superior to) the sugar cane. JSut I give it up for sugar paurposes. The Imphee, as you saw, is a largcr growth than the Clhi nese cane, but fr'oim all that I have seen and heard, I would [not ?J l'kc to say that any va riety of it is superior to the Chinese. With regard to the seed, I am now fully .sat isfied that all the varieties of' the Millet readily hybridi:e; and I think also that the Kaflirs were correct in tellIng Mr. Wray that if the ripe seed wer'e long lanL~ted the cane would lose nll its sa-ccharine qualities and take rank with Dourah corn. I found so large a propor' tion of worn bless cane-with the largest stalks and finest heads generally--that I cannot have any part in selling the seed. I have gathered the seed of thle few asnorled cutmes that senmed purest and placed theum at Mr'. Wray's disposal. The remnainderm I amo f'eeding to my .,tuck. I would not be willing to g::.antee that a single seed will be pure-but if Mr. Wramy will make, as he says he will, a carecful seletion, head by head, they will probaly b~e a< pure as most of' the Chinese. It so happens that these assorted seed are perhaps his best varieties. ThIey' are the Necazana, iloojana, Koomubana, Booimvwana and Enyama. TIhese and the Eenghia and Slagoova, are so dil'erent in appearance from Dourah corn, that Mr. W~ray, ini assorting his aeed last spring, at my requtest, was more suc cessful in selecting themi than the others--but they were all near' enough to the Domu'ah, or degenerate Imnphec, for some hybridizing to take place, anud therefore 1 gluuaictee none. I shall plant all the varieties next year', by no means omitting Chinese, but not so largely as this year. I shall only aim to make what syrup I want for my own use, and to test more carefully the forage value of the plant. I shall plant upland that is good for twenty bushels of corn, in five feet drills, and expect 100 to 150 gallons of syrup per acre. Unless alcohol may be made economically out of this plant, or it proves better for forage than I now think, it will produce nothing for sale--and syrup ca~n be made from it for use only when there is no other pressing plantation work, or at somte dis tanco from the great highways of commerce. * e * * * * * '' J. II. H A MMOD.m "OCToDurt 23, 1857. * * * * * "1 find the cane has greatly de teriorated in the last ten days, in all respects, from over-ripeness. Beaume's saccharometer stands at 0 deg. both in the cane juice and wa ter. Yet the canc juice makes good syrup, at the rate of 1 for S of juice. In the juice of cane cut and schocked a month ago, Beaune's saccharoineter disappeared entirely. Yet this made fair syrup. My conclusion is, that how ever valuable Beaume's saccharometer may be I.1 as a test for sugar cane juice, it is utterly worth less as a test for any variety of this Millet Su- ru gar Cane. The Imphee juice, at 10 deg. Bea utie, and at half an inch below 0 B eaume, is aluost equally good as far as syrup is concerned, v and also as to sugar, as neither produces that. 11 * * * .* * * * N " J. II. IILAMMOND." e1 -- te Do AS I Dtn.-The other morning a celebra- ti ted fast man from the West end, entered a re- p freshment saloon, where sone fifteen or twenty of his friends are in the habit of congregating, f about eleven o'clock. Ile, with his usual hear tiness and generosity, "asked the crowd to - smile ;" they, nothing loth, stepped up. " You must all do as I do," said the liberal. "Oh, certainly, certainly," was the universal response, " what is your's going to be ?" "I shall take brandy and water for mine." "Very well, we'll all take brandy and water," they cried. The pirty drank, and the waggish inviter laid down his fip upon the counter, and immediately retired, whispering in his softest tones, " Do as I do, gentlemen." The party looked at each other a moment, with a most comic expression of the face, when one, who felt the full force of the idea creeping powerfully through his hair, exclaimed, " Sold !" " Here," he added turning to the liar-keeper, " take iny pocket book, and treat freely for the next~twenty minutes." EsIRArIoN TO THE WFST TIS FAr..-The newspapers in many parts of the West say that C emigration is nearly as heavy this Fall as it was k last Spring. The fall is deemed as good a sea- g son for farmers, or even agricultural laborers, to emigrate as the spring. The land can be brokent and fences built, and the farm got ready gene rally, for operations in the spring. VER !iODET.-Ini the Tennessee Senate, one day last, week Mz. Goodpasture presented a memorial from citizens of Scott county, askingto be released from taxation on account of the hard times, and that an appropriation of $4,000 or $5'000 be made for their benelit. 1 A. INFICeA. M tusE.-Last week, says the Selmna (Ala.) Reporter of the 9th inst. a friend described a machine recently invented and tes. I ted at llurnsville, Ala., which throws five ounce balls through an inch plank at a distaneo of one hundred yards. The Sentinel says that the ve. locity can be increased to such a degree, that five thousand balls shells a minute can be thrown. No powder is used-the bullets being thrown by an arm of machinery, same as a man throws a stone. This certainly is the greatest invention of the age. With such a machine a mere hand ful of men could demolish an army of thousands in a few hours.
