Mr. Editor :?Sinoe my last, there has
been some ohange in the siege of Fort Sumter.
Qn the night of the 8th instant, there
van some firing on Sumter, a steady fife Whs
kept up between the batteries of this Island
and James and Morris Islands, no casualties
. %. reported here. On the 9th, the firing on
Sumter oeased, from some cause, it is said
I that a large number of Yankee prisoners
were placed in the fort, in retaliation for the
six hundred of our prisoners on Morris Is*
land, exposed to the fire of our guns. I
have sot seen any statement confirming the
report of prisoners in Samter. Calcium
lights have been kept ap on the fleet and
Morris Island, for the past week, every
night. On Friday night there was a considerable
number of barges moving from
Morris Island to the West side, an attack
was expeeted on Samter, and all hands were
called out and held in readiness st the cannon
and parapets, awaiting the approach of
the enemy; the night passed off quietly,
without an attack, very few shots have been
fired on Samter tap to the present time?
an occasional shell is thrown here. On
Monday morning, Lieut. Bhett, of the 1st
Iufkntry, was wounded by a shell passing
through his quarters. On yesterday morning
there was some firiDg between the ves
sals of the enemy and battery Marshal, this
battery is situated on the Northern extremity
of this Island, it appears the enemy had
the night before, been makiDg a reconnois?"

IWWW Uil iJUUg JLOiAUUj auu |/ooo*u^ MHVAJ
some firing took place, this morning there
was a heavy fire between battery Marshal
and four vessels. It lasted about two boors
" when the vessels drew off and went Sooth.

There is a rumor that the enemy had landed
troops on Long Island, or Home Island,
they are near each other. In a short time
more correot information will, doubtless, be
received.
The health of this place is good this
time.
The fall of Atlanta and the result of the
jry>'A_ ? r ' *
armistice is creating a considerable degree
of anxiety, and is the theme of varied opinions
and prophecies. It is a groat source
of rejoicing in the Northern States. The
fall of Atlanta is looked upon as one of the
finishing strokes of crushing out the rebellion,
and with Lee's army broken np, the
I enemy would think his work of subjugation
completed. The spirit of the South is still
buoyant, and there is much work yet to be
done before the vandal hordes shall be able
- to tread, with impunity, the extensive soil
of the South. We may yet meet many dis*
asters, but justice will finally triumph.?
Let us look on the bright side of the pi?ture
as well as the dark, the future will be
revealed in doe time. Youre truly,

Gentlemen .?An excerpt from the Enquiher,
of the 17th ultimo, containing theA
! announcement of myself and others as "suitable
candidates for the House of Representatives,"
has just reached me. .
After extending to my friends of "Bullook's
Qreek" my thanks for this' evidence
of their kind appreciation, permit me, at
once, to decline the nomination.
At this hour, the service of every man is
[ due, without reference to his interest cr personal
preferences, wherever it may be most
| valuable to the country." In view of this
paramount duty, I oan ha^> no hesitation
in determining to remain in the army until
#
the war is ended.
I am gratified to know that my sense of
duty may be indulged, without disregarding
the interests of the people at home. Amongst
the names presented in the Enquirer,
there are those of tried pnblio servants,
who are folly competent, who have the leisure,
and, I trust, the inolination, to serve in
the State Council. If the people are fully
aware of the very grave responsibilities,
which must, within the ensuing session, devolve
upon the Legislature, our District will
be well represented.
Again tendering my cordial acknowledgments
for the compliment of this nomination,
I am, gentlemen,
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
SAM'L W. MELTON.

Messrs. Editors: Inasmuoh as many persons
in our Confederacy are interested in,
the production of sugar and molasses from
the Chinese Sugar Cane, or Sorghum, I do
hereby contribute to this end, in so far as
my experience and information extends. ' {
The Ohio JCultivator says : "frost does
not injure the eane juice, or the sugar made
from it; but does aid in its clarification."
* * * * "warm weath
er after hard freezes redaoes both quantity
and quality of jnioe." And it reoommends
that "the cape be worked up as soon as
ripe," as the best economy : and that "the
best time for making sugar is "when the
most, if not all the seeds are ripe, and after
several frosts/' It is also held that "if the
cane is cut and housed, or shocked in the
field" at this phase of its growth, "it will
probably keep good for a long time.*
It is found that at the exprenion of the
juice, the bi-sulphate of lime should be added
as it flows from the mill in order perfectly
to clarify it. The higher the gravity
of the juice the less quantity of the bi-sulphate
of lime is required for a good clarification
; say, about one quart to one hundred
gallons of juice on an average, and about
the same quantity of the milk of lime is to
be used along with the bi-sulphate. After
the expression of' any given quantity of
juice, and the addition of the lime, stir it
thoroughly, and let it settle a few minutes,
tfcon din nr a erlaafl full and observe the
"*w- ?r -r - o p?
color. If'the green oolor of the juice is
. changed to dirty grey, with only a tinge of
green, it is limed enough; if however, it be
deoidedlygeen, more lime, must be added,
stirred and allowed to settlo.
Now draw off the clear juioe into a olarifier
or "boiler. This jtico should now be
brought to about milk-warm, (60? to 65?
Fahrcu.) and some milk of lime added if
, needed, and the whole stirred, and well
skimmed from time to timo. After the
juice is woli clarified, concentrate the syrup
by hasty evaporation. If molasses only is
I wanted, the boiling must be stopped when
I the. syrup is enough concentrated to pltose
[the operator's fancy. If sugar is wanted,
the boiling must be eautiously continued
until the syrup is thick and of a waxy consistency.
To prevent boiling over, air well
with dips of vessels and poncing it from oh
hieh, or better still, throw a lamp of batter
into^he boiler. When the boiling, is finished,
if it be for sugar, ladle oat the syrup
into wooden oeolers, and set them in a warm
room to granulate. After granulation, the
whole should be put into deep barrels with
holes in their bottoms as drainers, and placed
in a warm room to drain off the molasses.
The lower joints of the pane only will .afford
juice rich enough for sugar making at
early cutting, but if the cane has been out
after a frost, and hot ground for several
days afterward, 'all parts of the stalks become
nearly alike. The vessels for contain*
ing the cane juice should be well washed
every day with common lime-water.
The bi-sulphate of lime is prepared .by
sugar manufacturers, but the milk of lime j
is used by them as a substitute for it?r
Tfais consists of one quart of fresh lime
made into a batter-like consistency With
water, and tbis will do for two hundred
gallons of juioe as it. flows from the mill.
By means of Jime a clarification is had, the
aoid is neutralized, the peculiar unpleasant
teste of the molasses is removed, and its
power to blaoken the teeth of the consumer
in Tn nn rua iflav the iuice be
*u uv ,v;? ? ? ? --- .
allowed to ran into fermentation unless
vinegar is wanted. In my operations in ma*
king molasses for three yea re, I used well
burnt limestone slaked with cold water, and
brought to the consistency ef thin batter;
(his I used in the proportion of one quart
to the hundred gallons of juice.
The sugar makers use oast-iron boilers
for evaporation of *the cane juics, in oar
domestic operations a preference is given by
some persons to wooden boilers with tin
bottoms. I would jndge that in the small
way of making molasses or sugar, a wooden
boiler with wooden bottoms, overlaid With
sheet iron next to the fire, the better plan,
provided the wood be snoh as to give ont
nothing to be imparted to thp taste of the
syrup; but iron pots and kettles do well
enongh, provided all residue be carefully
cleaned off at every boiling. To olean Iron
kettles, grtaze well after the syrap is taken
out, then wash all off with water. '

From Georgia.
Macon, Sept. 14.?The first train of Atlanta
exiles arrived this morning. They
were stripped by the Yankees of everything
except one oh&nge of olothing, and are in a
deplorable oondition.
The impression that the campaign in
Georgia is over for this year is fast gaining
ground. Sherman will reinforce Grant and J
try to hold Atlanta with a small force, bat
no farthe advance is anticipated.

Last night a train loaaea wun pnauuern
ran off the track at Camp Creek otr the \
Southwestern Railroad. Eight oars were
smashed ap and a large namber of Yankees I
killed and wounded.
Maoon, Sept. 16?Exiles from Atlanta,
report that Sherman's army is being rapidly
depleted by men whose teirm of service
has expired going home. Some statements
plaoe the number already gone at 10,000.
Yesterday was universally observed
throughout the State, as a day of fasting
and prayer, by the army and by the people.
The Chattanooga Gazette, of the 13th,
says that Wheeler has been driven from
Middle Tennessee by Steadman.
Morgaif s staff has arrived at Chattanooga.
Sherman has issaed a congratulatory address
to his Army, saying that they had completed
a great eamp&ign, and that -the fall
of Atlanta must be attribtted to a mistake
in Hood sending his cavalry to the rear.?
We most concede, he pays, to oar enemy,
that he met as patiently and skillfully, bat
&t last he made the mistake we had waited
so long for, and sent hi* pavalry to oar rear,
far beyond the reaoh of recall. Instantly
oar eav&lry was on his only remaining road
and we followed qaiokly with the main
army and Atlanta fell into oar possession.
[second dispatch.]
Macon, Sept. 18.?It is reported, with
a considerable show of tratb, that Sherman
has sent an informal request for Governor
Brown, Vice-President Stephens, and Sen*
ator H. V. Johnson, to meet him in Atlanta
and have a talk aboat peace.
Brig. Gen. F. A. Shoap nas been relieved
of daty as Chieff of Staff to Gen. Hood,
The exiles from Atlanta still oontinoe to
come into oar lines. Several handred families
have arrived in the most destitute condition
imaginable.
Gens. Hood and Sherman have agreed

prisoners. Several hundred of the number
will be sent forward to night for that purpose.

^ Our Enemies.?-The indiscriminate application
of the term Yankees to our enemies
in the field, says the Richmond Dispatch,
does not convey an accurate idea of
the eleme^s of power whioh are oombined
against us. Ip a mere war of sections^?
that is, a war between the Yankees proper
and % Southern States?not even Yankees
themselves could have expeoted triumph.
. But this is not snoh a war. It is
a war between the Southern. Confederacy
and the United States, the latter having all
the wealth and all the military and civil organizations
of the old Government on its
side, with immense armies, composed of-all
nations, and of which the Yankees proper
constitute only a small proportion. Of its
native troops, the brat are the mixed ritoea
of the West, and renegade Kentuckians and
Mi'ssburians. Even in* the navy, its mart
successful officer is Farragut, a Tennessean.
A luge number of its offioars, in both the
land and sea service, are natives of Southern
States. Nor is it accurate to designate
all the people of the Middle States even as
Yankees. It may suit the Yankees proper
very well to have all their elenients of
strength olassed ag Yankees, but it is not
the truth. As a general thing, they hove
staid at hqme during the war, making money
out of battles 4vhich they, do not fight,
and ^hining a great reputation far prowess
besides, by . thn. designation of Yankee,
whioh is uniformly applied to-United States
armies. It may be convenient to give our
enemies a name whioh condenses in one
word all that is bateful; but the worst of
them are the least injured by its application.
We are helping Jonathan to go down
to posterity as a great heroic character?^
He has had little to do with this war exoept
hiring other men to fight his battles and
obtain for him money ?nd reputation.
* Important to Salt Purchasers ?
We are authentically informed that there
are no less than twenty three salt manufaoin
fihurlwitnn and vininitv. within the
oonsoript age, who are detailed'to make salt
on the special conditions that they would
sell the article to consumers at the works at
nine dollars a bushel, or delivered at any of
the railroad depots, in good shipping order,
at twelve dollars. Now, the question arises
with these twenty-three salt boilers, bound
to these conditions, how is it that salt ia to
day from twenty to twenty-five dollars per
bushel in our market ? The question is ea?
sily solved, bat we do hot propose to do it
just now. . We would, however, say to pay
farmqrs, planters and country consumers
generally,.tbatiflibey clnb together for any
p&rtioolar District, and appoint a responsible
agent here, they cap,have their salt at the
prices to whioh the salt boilere have bound
themselves to supply, consumers, else the
boiler refusing to'supply at these prices will
not have his detail renewed. We may advert
to this matter again, and famish the
names of the salt boilers so detailed.

LtjdiProus Sqabe in Memphis.?A
despatoh from Memphis to the Chicago
Tribune admits -the ludicrous scare the
Yankees had from Forrest dashing into
Memphis. It says:
The scene on Tuesday morning was scarcely
less terrible fchpn that of Monday. With
no rebels within fifteen miles of us, tnousands
of men, women end children, and,
sad to say, officers, chaplains and soldiers,
rushed to fhe fort,, and in many instances
behaved with great oowardice. I .learn
that General Forrest ha? sont in word to
General Washborne that he regretted taking
his clothes without his being in them,
.and. that if he wonld send him grey cloth
enough for a stfit, he would return the gen^

. Messrs. Editors : The following measores
will fill up our armies immediately,
and bring peace by November next:
1st. Execute, on twenty days' notice, the
law of Congress, and put into the ranks the
thousands of men detailed in the various
departments, replacing them with disabled
or partially disable^ soldiers, or by persons
ovejf 45 years of age.
.. 2. Remove to. the. field all the fall and
freab commands now occupying forts, &c.,
guarding bridges, depots, &o., or used for
local or special servioe, replacing them by
skeleton compauiea or regiments that need
rest apd recruiting.
3- Transfer, without exception, to infant!}
all cavalrymen who fail, after thirty
days to mount themselves on serviceable
horses, r. This measure would secure to
General Lee not less: than five thousand effective
men, (cavalry and infantry,) and to
General Hood probably ten thousand.?
The cavalry has been much praised o? late.
It is not generally known that all this splendid
fighting has been dope by a few gallant
and devoted men, (probably one-fifth of
their commands,) who are always op band
and ready for duty, while the number of
shirkers, skulkers and stragglers, (mounted
as well as dismounted,) is legion.
