Enquirer. SORGHUM, OR CHINESE SUGAR m - Hi. Editor:?Several years ago, from our knowledge of the chemical analysis of Sorghum, we claimed that it was capable of becoming a popular agricultural product in j consequence of the largo amount of saccharine matter contained in it. And we then presented to several farmers the importance of largely raising it, but owing to its novel- j ty, and the ar,prehension_of failure, there was but little cultivated. But, unlike many other new and untried things, it Is proving itself to bo au invaluable product. Its native climate is very little different from ours, and hence it can be very successfully cultivated on any of oar lands that will produce corn. It grows more luxuriantly thap any other cereal, even on-poor lands, and ordi n%rily^rich lands will yield enough of the caoe per acre to make from fifty to one hunonrl fiPtn nnllnno r?f nine enrn r\ r\ ! o ui&u auu u i ii ^auyiJD u? uivu ojiuk^jy ui u proportionate quantity of nice raw sugar.? It was thought, several years ago, that sugar could not be made from it, but it has beerf clearly demonstrated, by actual experiment, that it can. The processes .of manufacturing syrup or sugar from this cane arc very i simple and easy. When the seed are perj fectly ripe, cut them off with about a foot of the upper part of the stalk, and strip off the blades, afterwards out the caoe in sufccession as you can crush it, for if you cut in large quantities and placo at your mill or elsewhere for a day or more together, it will become somewhat sour; and the cane will stand ten or twelve days after being stripped of its seed and blades without injury. At your crushing mill you can easily arrange so that the juice of the cane willbe passed through a thin cloth as it is caught in proper vessel*. Next, put the juice thus expressed into yeur boilers, boiling it slowly with a tegular temperature of heat, and skimmin^off the scum on the top of the simmering liquid. As it begins to attain the thickness of syrup it should be continually well stirred to prevent its being burnt. If you wish to simply make syrup, ydu can easily determine when it has been sufficiently simmered, by taking up small quantities, and cooling it. If you wish to make sugar, continue the process of aimmering and stirring it well until bubbles are formed and broken on the surfac of the syrup,? The bubbles will break in about fifteen minutes after they are formed. After this, put it in wooden vessels, and be sure not to stir or disturb it in any way while it is cooling'.TN When it has become quite cool, pot* it in barrels arranged so that the syrup oaq drip off and leave the^ranulated^sagar. T^he cane that has been crashed, if closely paokecf in barrels with a proper quantity of *#ater, will make good vibegar. After the paeked cane . has been with the water for three days, you may remove it and feed it to yonr hogs? Ton can also make very nice beer1 with the juice of the cape, by boiling it a short time, skimming jt well, and. then putting it pp in a wooden desk or earthen vessel to ferment. ** '-* ? ; ' 'l ne blades gathered from the Sorgnum, are about equal in quantityand superior in quality to the blades gathered from the same number of" acres of Indian Corn. Audit will, likewise, yield forty or more bushels of the seedf per acre. These make good food for stocky or if ground into flour it. makes oakes quite aa nice as the celebrated buok* wheat oake. ..We should be-careful never to give the <&nes trf- blades to horses or cows while they are unodred, for while in. this state they are injurious, especially to the above named stook, on account of the unfermehted sacobarfbe matter. * * We tibight speak of many other proper-' ties and nscs of the Sorghum, but those already named are they that make it peculiarly valuable to u9 just at this time.- While we* 8T6 engaged in suoh an unequal contest' with ao uoprinotpled foe, it behooves ua to develop all our resources, and especially our Agricultural resources. j We have brave and well disaiplined soldiers in the field who are ready to do and dare all that mortal men can, ratber than be subjugated, yet they mu8t.be fed aud^elotbed, and their families supplied with necessary provisions. Much, therefore, depends on our planters and farmers in reference to the final result. We are ont off from foreign supplies, and henoe we are dependent on our own resources, under a kind Providence, for suocess. Thus far during this spring's campaign the bugle notes of victory to our arms have sounded forth, but we should feel sore of the faet that threatening hunger will be the tocsin of sabjog&tion to ns.

Let.us then, fellow citizens, bestir ourselves in every department of duty, and espeoiall; in that of raising the needed sapplies of Bgrioaltnral products. And let us folly appreciate the importance of syrnp and sogar in the table supplies of our people. More sacoharino matter and less drugging, in our daily diet, -nill make us inore healthy in body, vigorous in mind and courageous in spirit. And how stall wo ever be independent unless we properly develop all our resources? Let us labor, fight, hope and pray until the great God crowns our patient eudnranoe with glorious victory, peace and prosperity. So mote it be. . -OMICRQN. % Yoekyille, S. "C. ** V *" .

A Glorious Beginning. . A campaign never opened more anspioio'usly in any cause xhan the pending one has for oar own. Wherever the Federal tide has rolled in, it has been dashed back in broken and bloody spray. At Charleston, their efforts have proven abortive; In Florida, they were ignominioualy defeated; in Mississippi they failed \ at Mobile they were baffled; and on theRappabapnockand in the raid on Richmond, they wore boaten by a handful; and now the glad tidings come to as from the fertile plaint of Louisiana that another victory baa been woo, and another defeat recorded on the long list which graces the, pages of Yankee history. Were it not tor toe wonaerrauy recuperative powers, or, so to speak, the elasticity. of our enemy, events like these, following each other in rapid recurrence, would have brought our strnggleto a oloee long before bow. But let us be satisfied with' the result. For three jeers, we have given the foe almost monthly evidence of oar invinoibility?sad evidence to ourselves, bloody testimony to him?but we have the eon9cionsness of knowing that at last we have stirred bis stubborn hOart to its depths, and revealed the long buried faot^that Federal urns car. never subjugate the South. During tbesa long years of suffering and doubt, the truth has been gradually , stealing into the Northern mind, until brought out by the antagonisms of a Presidential election, it stands confessed by the vast majority of Mir foes.
