A Strange Btor j [From "Phenomena of Miaaing" in Chambers Journal.] The aaddeft .disappearance of which I remember ever to have read, was that of ft Capt.

But aa month after month, f nd year after year, went by without ,tiding; Qf the mining bridegroom, be be gan to <purl tier it * lover.

She *ccep ted, or at leeat she did not reject, a ring /of bit, wbieh sbe even wore on her4finge>; bat whenever be spoke to ber, or lender ed ber any service, she turned from him with something like loathing.. Whether this was remarked upon so much before the following circumstances occurred, it j jwpuld be interesting to learn, but all who know them noW testify that whereas in . ear.ter daya aue nad laaen pleasure in ber cot tain's society, it teemed to become abaolntely batefuj to her, subsequently to tier eel amity. bout tJpree years after CapL Routb's disappearance, a brother officer and friend /of Ilia, one If a/or Brooks, having bcsiness pug England, era# invited to Hertfordshire by Mrs. Ling, attbe urgent request of her daughter.

In speaking of the absence of al) clue to what had-4>ecooie of him, j k^na Major observed : "There is one thing that puzzles me almost as much as the loss of my poor I friend himself. You say his luggage was found at the inn where the coaoh stopped ' in Loudou }" * "It was,1' said the ladr. "Iain thank ful to *av that I hare numberless tokens of liis dear self." .'There ia one tiling, though, which 1 I wonder he patted with," pursued the Via jor, "and did not always carry about him as he promised to do. I w*s with him in i^e bazaar, at Calcutta, when he j bought jou that twanted ring?" "That ring!" cried the poor girl, "that ; ring !" and, with a frightful shriek, she ; instantly swooned away. 1 Her mother came runuing in to kuow what was the matter. Iirooks made some evasive explanation, but while she | was aDnlvinc restoratives, inouired. as ! carelessly as he could, who had giveu to her daughter that beauiiful,ring. "Oh, Willy I'enrhyo," aaid she. "That is the only present, poor (ellow, he could ever get Rachel to accept." Upon this, Major Brooks went straight i : to Penrliyn's house, hut was denied ad ! mittanCe, whereupon he wrote to hun the | following letter : "Sik : I have just seen a ring on the ! hand of the betrothed wife of jny .murdered friend, Herbert Kouth ; he bought ! it for that purpose himself, bat you have presented it.

JAMES BROOKS. Tbe Major 'arrived at Mr. 1'enrhyu'a house at the time specified, but found him a dead man. lie had taken goiacn upon tbe receipt of the above letter, and ao, aa ia auppoaed, departed the only human being who could have unravelled *ho myate/y of the missing Capt. Koulh Still, it is barely possible that he may not have been his murderer after all; if he were, it was surely a thing so easily identified, and that, loo, to the very per son of all others, from whom he should have concealed it. Prop the West. A special lelegrsm to the Meridian f Clarion, from Jackson, deled 30th April, J says;* The /nemy hat fallen bsck from the Big Black, after partially destroy ing the Bridge.and burning all the sutlers' and traders' shanties and soldiers' huts. Considerable alarm ^tevails within the fortifications at Vicksburg, being apprehensive of an attack from Wirt Adams. From the same source we learn thai advices from Brook Haven says information from the Trans Mississippi reports that Banks was defssted a second lime, but escaped to the north side of Bed Biter, and was rapidly falling back on Nat chez.

When the Yankees attacked his trains they broke ranks and scattered to pluu der, and Price turded and cut them to ' pieces, capturing four thouttnd prisoners, three hundred wagons, all their amtuuui I tion, baggage and supplies. It is reported also that Steele evacua ted Little J&ock, falling back towards the Mississippi river. This story is corroborated by Yankee accounts on the Missis TP'- _ Confederate Congress Both Houses of Congress assembled Anr3. nrtrnnifwrl ? ?un.lt ? /A.UaIt ? 1 ? .-vx, ?? ? " VI 1 w u viyia VU a. VI May, a quorum of each being preeent.? Twenty senator* and s;xty member* of the House were in attendance. Ail the old officers have ie?n ro elected without opposition. Speaker Uocock delivered an elegant address. Iluot^r, of Virginia, was elected President pro (em, of the Sen ate. During a debate on incidental que* lions. Johnston, ol Arkansas, expressed ihe opinion that the session would not continue longer than txvo or three weeks. The President's message was delivered at half past one, by bis private secretary, and read in both liousas. The followng ii a summary : Congress assembled un der circumstances of deep interest to the country, hut fortunately coming newly elected, they will be able to advise ineasurea adapted to the wants of the public services. A sullioient limo lias^rot elapsed to test the efficacy of the important laws of last Congress. The unjust war commenced against us is still characterized by the barharianisui with which it has been conducted by the enenty. Af ter mentioning some of their atrocities, the President says such conduct on the part of the enemy will aoouet or later lUeet with tho condemnation of all chris lendom. From the camps come the voices of soldier patriots invoking all to devote thvir whole energies to the cause, in the success of which their confidence has uev er faltered. Congress meets .again, not withstanding the threat of your sul>j igntion three years ago by a people who presume to assert governorship over Stales whose sovereignly <s recogniced hv France and England These Governments disregard treaty obligations and pi tsist in c*?uii(en Aiming the claim of a foreign government to exercise its despotic sway over th? States thus recognized. The President comments upon simulated neutrality of foreign poweia, and sees no prospect of an early change in lite course heretofore pursued by them?our sole rerance is in our forces,combined with every available element of power. The exchange of prisoners has been resumed by the enemy, but no assurance is given of intention (o carry ou! the cartel. Tito report of the Secretary of the Treasury 1* referred to. The law of the last session contracting the circulation had the desired effect. By the first of July the amount will he reduced to a sum not exceeding two hundred and thirty millions. The l'resident earnestly protests against the increase of the circu lation. The President assures Congress that the discipline and instruction of our troops has kept pace with iinprovuient in material and equipment, and asks special attention to the recommendation of the Secretary of War in relation to the army. Alter alluding to the recent events of die war, in which the enemy hare I een defeated, the President closes as follows : "Let us.then, while resolute and devoted, use all our energies to recalling the reali | zation of the bright auspjcee which en courage, and not forget that our humble and most grateful thanks are due to lliin without whose guiding and protecting care, all human efforts would be of no avail. Srorraoa ok Private Travel.?The South Carolinian has been assured by j several rail road officials that (he Gov uriimeiii ins guinea nothing wh?le?er by that nrrest of private travel which lies trammeled the business and interfered with tbe most serious interests of the community. Not one additional ear load >f produce baa been received for trans >ortation since tbe order was issued, and )o more troops are taken aboard than iould.be accommodated without the resriclion which appropriates the passenger rains to their u?? alone. There is, thereore, no eicuse for the continuance of this egglstioo. which the public has borne 10 uocompUinjogly, though it hae caused |? nany a heartache by stopping persons shorn the sickness or death of some dear ir.d near relative had suQ)im<oed to toother part of tba country. Sugar from Chinese Sugar Cane. W e copy below nn interesting article ' upon the process of converting the Sor gliain syrup into sugar. It fuljy confirms the report made4o us by Mr. Rutland withal is so simple, that any one may follow it. We advise our readers to preserve this .paper, and uot fail4o put in j practice the directions given : It has been generally supposed- that j sugar could not be made from the Chi | iiese stig^r cane. We are happy to l?e ! able to state that this impression is er j roncous. Mr. M. Green, of Fort Val- ' i lev, IJouston county, hao in ado one hun ' I dred anil fifty pounds of sugar from the j I Chinese cane during the past season. A i sample of the sugar may be seen at this ] office. Mr. Gr^on has kindly furnished , i ua with an account of his simple process, I which is as follows : The juice is boileJ in the same way.as I for ajrup. Continue the boiling after it has arrived at that po:iit, but very ?l wly. j The heat must he rteady. Hubbies will ' he formed upon the surface, which, in | ten or fifteen minutes, will buist; when j that occurs, take off the syrup, put it in cooling vessels, either troughs or kettles, j It must remain undisturbed for two days. | Then put it into <1 rippers, and the pro | cess is complete. It is not necessary to | use any foreign ingredient, either lime or soda, t he sugar made by Mr. Green is : an excellent article. j This process ift a d ^co*erv of great ' value. Families and the army can now be cheaply aupplied with ibis necessary i artide. Let a quantity of cane suHicient : for this purpose be planted by both large | and small farmers. j Mr. liri-CD stales that there ate two | material points in hie method of making ; sugar. The cane must be perfectly ripe, j the stalks hating begun to change their I color. The other, that the syrup must ' he undisturbed during the cooling pro | cess.? Southern (h'.i ) Recorder.
