THE PRESBYTERY
At Upper Long Cane Church adjourned on
last Sabbath. The meeting was largely attended
and eft'ected happy results. It was not
our fortune to be able to attend during the
week, and trusted to a friend to furnish lis

receive.
A WARNING.
"We call t':c attention of our reader*, especially
those cngnged in the manufacture of molasses,
to the communication by Dr. I. Branch, in
to-day's paper. These mills appear to be very
dangerous machines, as wc learn about ten
persons in our District, liavp ln?i <> ?
arm by them during the prf-scnt season.

HOME MANUFACTURED SYRUP-\
Jno. A. Calhoun, Ksq., lias left at our cBioe
a sample of his syrup manufactured from ^ie
Chinese Sugar Cane on his plantation, wliWi
will compare favorably in color and dcliciou^
ness to tlie ln-st New Orleans syrup. It is unilnnt.toill
f?.? ? ' ' 1
?<; ?i)ivc seen una aaecWed
improvement upon the manufacture of this
useful article. Il has a pleasant, sugary taste
which *e have never before noticed in tliis
kind o. vrup, which is sufficient evidence that
the snct'Litrifcrous qualities of the Ohineoe cane
is enp-jie of producing eugor xvheu once the
proces* ?f granulation is discovered. Mr.
Oalhoan informs us tbnt he has manufactured
1,200 gallons of excellent sj-rup nod is now
experimenting to miike su^ar, which, he says,
<\in o .j be done by rapid boiling?240 degrees
slow boiling makes candy, and ntpid boiling
^sfces^jigar. Mr. Caliican's saeeess, bo far
.eouroges the hopei?f succeeding in ttoe inanicture
of augar, and very wisely urgea ourj
,?!ar?!.ers to mnW* pffnrt? t<*r ?
. ? .? ?vo Ulliuuiociurc 1
from the Chinese cant;, that tbe oecrct may be
discovered by some 0110.
That there is something about the manufacture
of (his kind of Cane, which our planters
have not discovered'^ beyond a doubt, and
.: it fi lias granulating qualities. Last winter
?. ,e purchased two gallons of Chinese syrup
roin Mr. Talbert Cheatham fur the purpose of
making printing rollers?about a gallon was
used and the remaining gallon left in the jug
ib our office, and a few weeks ago we bad
'occasion to pour somo of it out when we discovered
it was very thick with glutinous lUitaps
which appears to.be in a process of granulation.
ri Tho manufacture of sugar would, at this
tinve, 10 the Southern Confederacy, be a greit
accession in the way of nutrition, and the matter
of experimenting with the Chinese C*ne to
' this end in well worth tho attention of every
t firmer. Wo hope Mr. Calhoun will aucce$j
in his efforts and we will iira short time be
*? able to give tho process to our readers at the
name timo we urge every planter engaged in
' the trfanufacture of syrup; to try to make snJar?as
it can be done, oiice the process is
iscovcred. /
Oe.v. Stbpjik D: Lee.?This gallant
officer is constantly in the saddle. He lias
inspired universal confidence in the people,
and contributed greatly to drive away
despondency. Always cheerful, always
hopeful and confident, his preseoce in the
v western Dirt of the Stato is liailail with
joy. The soldiers both lovo and honor
him*, Liko his great nameeake in Virginis,
ho curries with him the trust and prayer
of all. May we nerer hfcvei occasion to
