Wo would like to see to-morrow one hundred thousand Northern men distribute d over this Bute as farmers and producers ol any kind, and this is desirable politically at well as economically. Industrious working men whether from the North or natives will i naturally combine together to promote good order to protect property and person from i riolcooe, and see to lt^that no reckless Legis i latnrs shall over tax or oppress the eitisens ol > their State.

A few minutes after our arriral a butch of eirup was turned off which was of the beat quality, being clear, light in color and light in appearance, being pleasant to the taste and entirely free from all aorgo flavor. In the eager-heuso wo fouud n quantity of sirup io, various stages of granulation, tons sixteen boxes of which roataiued a largo proportion of mush sugar, which, when put to a test in a oeotrll ugal mill, was found to yield from ono gallon of mush sugar over flvo pounds of beeetifal sugar, light in oolor, lively io appearance, having n large fine crystal or grain. It was further found that under u press the yield was roneh larger, tho residue being sirup, which by ' re-boiling becomes sugar house molasses of the beet quality.
