Tto latMt news we have of lite pro- 1 ^fSMi jvf^tie Yankees, says the GolJsboro | Uqwrnal of the 27th inst., is the HUUm dispatch received here by Gen. the officer commanding at Weldon, June 25. 8. liaJeer ; No fighting around, sincn Thursday ejri|iapjJ IHfl^^^VYedaeaOay andj^M9&N?jl ^fl^^^^kwtnty five hold Reams' ?T ?"alry and (i^Wr- ( or tained that they may reach the Danville road at the Junction. Passengers on the train ju9t in from Stony Greek report "that a general engagement was expected today between Lee and Grant. Gen. whipped Hunter near Lynchburg last Thursday. No particulars of the battle have b.eeo received. [From the Raleigh Confederate of 27th ult ] Wo inct with an officer on yesterday morning, who had just reached her* from Petersburg, from whom we learned the following particulars of operations around that city. , On Wednesday last, G>-n. Mahone's division engaged the Jenemy and captured seveutoen hundred prisoners, besides inflicting a corresponding damage in killed and wounded. On Wednesday night fivo hundred other prisoners were cap a 1 1 1 ' .1 ? mruu, anu uunng me day about one bun and fifty were taken by other parties? making twenty two hundred and fifty prisoners that day, which our informant saw brought into Petersburg Thursday morning. There was brisk skirmishing throughout Thursday, but no general engagement. Friday morning bo left on foot for Stony Creek station, whither the cars run, to take the train for Weldon. He came the entire way on the track of lire Railroad, and says there were no Yankees on the road up to Friday at noon, when he passed. But during the whole route, he heard the thunder of artillery and the rattle of musketry, which in an hour or two became one incessant roar, pronounc ed by all who heard it, to be ihe heaviest firing heard since the assaults 011 Peters burg couimeuced. From one point on the Railroad, our informant had an opportunity of witnessing the battle for two hours ir more ? lie says the enemy's left wing rested at the "brick church," about six miles south east from I^etersburg, extending in a semi'curve to the Appomattox river,' be ing some ten miles in length ; and that the battle raged the entire length of ilie line. lie did not know the number of troops engaged, but judging from the tremendous cannonading and incessant roar of small arms, he is of the opinion tiiat it must have been a pretty * general en gagetneni. He was of course unable to cive anv information n? to it.a ro?ulf of the conflict, but says Gen. Beauregard bad planted sixteen heavy pieces of artil lery in position to command the enemy's entrenchments, and thinks they were probably driven therefrom, and dreadful carnage among their troops must have ensued. While, he further states, Gen. Beauregard has our rifle pits ^o projected that our Iroopa are comparatively secured from danger.^ He says ho saw Gen. Lee every day, sometimes going and some times returning from the battle field covered with dust?looking cheerful and | satisfied with I tin rimre.o.. r*( ? 1 - I" -b? ill vigorous health. He further states, that our army has a full supply of rations, with the Railroad to Richmond unobstructed, where there is an abundance of supplies. The citizens of Petersburg are calm and perfect confident that Lee and iieau regard, with their invincible hosts, are not only able to keep the vandals from their city, but destroy his entire army if they will give them an open fight. The gentleman to whom we are in. debted for this interesting information, says deserters from the enemy are com ing into our lines from all quarters. They say their leaders are drunken and they make their men drifnk and then rush, them recklessly into conflict totally ro gardiess of their lives, and to inevitable slaughter; and the men are determined to be thus treacherously sacrified no longer. Prisoners with whom he com versed, say that Grant has not more than lialf the number of troops with which lie ;ro#sed the Appomattox. We extract the following from the* "state Journal of the 25lh ult.: We expressed our fears yesterday that die Yankees had also cut the connection between Richmond and Petersburg and .he South. Our fears are fully realized. The Yankees have possession of Iiurks* i rille, Prince Edward county, Virginia, on the Richmond and Danville railroad, at its junction with the * Boutlisde railroad, loma fifty milet from Petersburg. This I a a most important position, cutting two dolt and within easy <)ge of the Soulhside omattox, dear Farm, ce of this line war- ; hat the enemy will ig to obit-uct it.? | may succeed in de- i roving the high bridge before being drif- 1 i off. I < The Richmond Examiner of Wedneaj day last, 22d inst., furnisl.es the annexed I items of hews : Hunter is retreating directly to liu | chanan, en (be James River Canal, in 1 Rotetourt county. When his forces reached Liberty, they separated into two : parties, one going tow arils the Peaks of ) Otter, the other by the road leading due I west. Our forces had pursued Hunter i to the Peaks of Otter, and the latest ac counts received at Lynchburg, state that j a tight was going on at a place in the vi ciuitv of the Peaks known as Fancy Farm.

The men were famish ing and mutinous. There were one hun dred and fiity vehicles filled with wounded. They had two hundred of our men as prisoners, many of whom fainted and fell in the road from want of foq^f. Hut the most cumbrous part of the Yankee train consisted of a procession of live hundred negro wom^n and children, amongst whom the suffering was excessive. Many of the women, becoming exhausted, had thrown their children in the roads and deserted litem. Sheridan staled that up to that time lie had lost fifteen hundred men. I)a\vlm.k. V? June Oft.

Sheridan, in cot junction with Hunter, is to tear up tin* railroad, capture L) ncliburg, and cut oil communication with Richmond. Tlie slavery amendment to the Con slitution was discussed at length in the Federal IL>use. Gold opened in New York on the 14ih at 11)8 and closed at 11)3 1 2, the decline being caused by the passage of the gold hill. The Washington correspondent of the New York News says : "It is estimated that ono thousand wounued per day were received at the! hospitals here for the ten days previous to the 11 ih. There were already thirtylive thousand in the hospitals within the city." The Times' correspondent from Sherman's army says: 'The rebel night attacks are draining our ranks as effectually by piecemeal as wholesale f laughter in L* title. A retreat would he worse than a second Moscow. Jt woud be better to lose the-whole army in a de-perate advance than to lose it in an attempt to save it by retreat/' It ia ascertained that overtures have been made by the French to the English Government, to devise means to put a stop to the awful carnage, j The London Times considers in Virginia very unfivorable to the Federals, | and anticipates Grant's failure.

The last vessel that arrived at Panama had $200,250 for New York and $900,000 for Europe. Grant loses live thousand men in a battle and lie despatches to that effect. The Ynnkee Secretary of War gives to the public what of these despatches he pleases, after carefully manipulating them; and lie alwaya winds up by saying, "the enemy must have suffered equal, if not greater, losses."

In the first place, it is necessary to filter the juice of tlie plant as it comes from flie mill, in i order to remove the cellulose and fibrous matters and the starch, nil of which are present in it wlieu expressed. A bag filter, or one made of a blanket, placed in a basket, will answer tbe purpose. Next, we add a sufficiency of tbe milk of lime ?that is, lime slacked, mixed With water ? to the juice to render it slightly alka. line, as shown by its changing turmeric paper to a brown color, or reddened litmus paper to a blue. A small excess of lime is not injurious. After this addition, the juice should be boiled, say for fifteen minutes. A thick greenish scum rapidly collects on the sutface, which is to be re moved by a skimmer, and then tbe liquid should be filtered strain. It will be of a pale straw color, and ready for ovaporalion, to be carried on with great caution, and tbe syrup con slautly srirred to prevent it from burning at the bottom of tbe kettle, or evapora ling. Portions of tbe syrup to be taken out from time to lime, nod allowed to cool, , to see if it is dense enough to crystalize. j It should be about as dense as our sugar house molas.-es, or tar. When it lias reach this condition it may be drawn from the evaporating vessel and be placed in tubs or casks to granulate. Crystals ol sugar will begin to form in three or four days, and sometimes nearly the whole mass will granulate, leaving but little molasses to be drained. After it lias solidified, it may be scooped out into conical bags, made of course open cloth, or of canvass, which are to be hung titer tbe receivers of molasses ; and drainage be ing much aided by warmth, it will be use* ful to keep the temperature of the room at 80 or 00 degrees Fahrenheit. After some days the sugar may be removed from the hags, and will he found good brown sugar. It may be refined by disolving in hot water, adding to tbe solu tion some whites of eggs, (says one egg for 100 lbs. of sugar.) mixed with cold water, after which the temperature is to be raised by boiling, and the syrup should be allowed to remain at that heat*for half an hour. Then skitn and filler, remove the coagulated albumen and the impurities it has extiacted from the sugar. By meanes of bone black, such as is prepared for the sugar refiners, tbe sugar may be decolored, by adding an ounce to each gallon of tbe saccharine solution and boiling the whole together; then filler, and you will obtain a nearly colorless syrup. Evaporate this as before directed briskly,half its bulk, and then slowly until dense syrup, to crysUhze, leaving the syrup at before in tuba or pans to granulate. This sugar will be of a very light brown color, and may now be clayed or whitened by the usual piocess, thai is, by putting it Into cones and pouring a satura. ted solution of white sugar upon it, so sa to displace the molasses, which will drop from the apex of the interted cone.? The sugar is now refined as white sugar. Patent Office /irjwrt, 1867.

Great excitement existed in the leighborbood,?{KaUtgh) UlaU Journal t Failure of the Negro Sol tier Experiment The following letter from Port Hudson, May 14, to the editor of the Springfield Republican, tells its own story. It comes from a source friendly to the Administration, and for this reason, we should thiol;, would produce its proper effect on the minds of the Yaukees: Pont Hudson, La., May 15, 18C4.? The Corps d'Afrique organized end equipped by order of Gen. Hanks, and intended to include about 16,000 men, having their headauartera at this nort. has r?. * _ r?* -cenily been subject to several important changes. When the order of organizai tiou was promulgated, it contemplated the organization of eighteen regiments, of 500 men, w ith the same number of ofli cers as in the regiments of 1,000. There were already three full regiments organ ized several months previous as "Louisi ana native guards," and Gen. Ulman bad already commenced recruiting for the ftVe regiments known subsequent as Ulman's brigade. The eight regiments were made the nucleus of the new corps, and during the summer and autumn of 1803, through ths channels opened by the progress of me campaign, mere were men enougn enlisted to swell me number of regiments to about twenty five, and Gen. George L. Andrews was placed in command of the corps. Hut, unfortunately, it was found '.bat lite physical qualifications of the ne' groea were uot equal to the hardships of drill and fatigue duty, many of them having in them the seeds of the old and surely fatal diseases, brought on by the vicious habits of plantation life, and inauy others being as yet young and immature in body, and marked by hereditary taints. It is surprising to one unacquainted with the subject to contemplate the terri b!e rate of mortality, and to learn Low many have lung and heart diseases, or are Ir ken down by rheumatic alTeclions, over work and ill usage. Thousands died, were discharged for disability or deserted. The regiments dwindled down fiorn 600 to 200 or 300 ; recruiting was stopped by an order from Gen. Hanks, which contemplated the retention of as litany able bodied blacks as possible on the Government plantations ; ollicers be gan to grow discouraged;*rcsignalions be came the order o( the day ; disappoint* ment ou the pay questiou demoralized the men. All these causes combimed to tiavo an unfavorable effect on the corps. A gentleman recently from Richmond tells a very interesting little incident which evinces something of the state of the public regard for General I.ee, and his thoughtful kindness to our sick and wounded soldiers. During General Lee's Recent attack of illness he went down to Richmond 10 recruit his heahh. While in the cats he expressed a desire for a bottle of port wine. After his arrival, his wish was talked of on the streets, and in less than three hours three hundred hollies of port were'sent to him. Of the [ nu inner ue reserved one for In* own use, ! end sent the remainder to the hospitals (or wounded soldiers.? Charletlon Cou rier.
