i*'". * 'v-i. i,' 1 Hints on tlio Manufacture of Sugai Syrup and Alcohol from Maize and Sorghum. In view of .the scarcity and exorbitant prioes of sugar, syrup, alcohol anil other* products ol saccharine plants, we would urge the planters to devote a few acres to maize and- sorghum. Those Who cannot procure the seed of sorgho or impliee, should plant maize, which has been demonstrated to be equally rich in saccharine matter when cultivated for that purpose. < We propose, in these papers, ? to give a few hints, not on our own experience, hut on the experience, of others in Europq jjnd America, in the cultivation of sorghum and maize, and the manu * r facture of su^tr, syrup, and alcohol from their juices. " Select a piece of your best land suitable for corn. Make the f % drills from three -to four feet ;y ' apart, running as nearly parallel to the course of the sun as the nature of your land will, permit, * # that the plants may receive the ' fall benefit of the sun. Drill the seed and thin out, leaving a plant every five or six inches?not over six inches. Cultivate the same as corn ; taking care not to cover the proproots by hilling, nor to injure the roots by deep ploughing. - The object, of close planting is to prevent the formation of cars of corn on the plant r that the sugar may elaborate itself within the stalk, instead of expending itself in nourishing the grain. Should ears appear, however, +fiov mncf lio. rmnnvf>il ! find. Ill so doing, care should.be taken not to bruise or injure the plaiit, as the ^air/coining in contact with * C the sap through a bruise in the . . stalk.' will cause acetic action, and render it unfit for our purpose. Therefore, the removal of the car should not be attempted whilst the plant is too young and tender. Wait until the beginning of the formation of grain on the young cob. The modus iqterandi is immaterial/so it does ' not injure the plant. The shears, knife or fingers may he used. Cj v Where a large field is selected, it would be preferable to make several plantings of the crop, with an interval of a week or ten days between each planting. It would require less force to attend to the removing of the ears, and give more time for grinding, boiling, etc. Quite an advantage, should the capacity of the mill and kettles prove <too small for the eitip: lies ides, it yould enable several neighboring planters x to purchase in partnership, a mill and kettles, and cultivate one large field in common. The mill boilers, etc., should be erected as near to the crop as possible. The directions for maize arc applicable to the cultivation of sorghum, except as to close planting. Plant in rows or -from thvee to four feet apart and from twelve or fifteen inches in the row. Do not hill the plants, thereby depriving their roots of the influences of the sun and air. The soil should be frequently stirred. A hoc may be used bef twecn the plants in the drill. Soak tho seed one or two days * % before planting. It h.is hwn sucrcrested that soils containing ammonia or other saline substances, in excess, arc unsuitable for sugar bearing plants \Vo would, therefore, avoid lands .. recently made rich with animal manure. AVe again appeal to planters tc devote at least a small portion ol land to sorghum or maize, 01 * both:-??Qranqc Reporter. Bather a "Rich Resolution In the Fsicra! Seaa tc, on the 7th in etanty 'Mr. Saulsburv offered the fol - lowing: 'v . Resolved.

' A letter dated New York, the 12th iust says:This has been one of the most cxeii ting days in Wall street und business circles within the memory of the oldest > inhabitant. GoM, foreign exchange, i j breadstufis, and nearly every other desj cription offlmercbandize, in deed, haveexI pcrienccd an enormous advance, under i the iuflucuce of which people seem to be growing absolutely,wild. Almost every man you meet in the street op on the corner is a speculator?that is, an "op era tor for arise, "?for the time being; absolutely carried away with the one grout Idea, how to got rich all of a sudden, without reaching the grand result in the regular way, by the sjveat of the face. . '*, * Barbarity of Negro Soldiers. We are permitted (says the Southern Observer) to make the following extract from a letter, written by a lady in Yazoo City to a friend in Alabama, relative to the reccut visit of the Yankees to that city.: We dreaded very much to pec them conn?on account of the negroes. Most of the men were negroes. They, as soldiers, arc the most ferocious and unrelenting of human beings. We dreaded their coming as of wild beasts. On last week they took an old man from near 8atarda?Col. Harris?and beat him to death with a fence rail. They captured two of our scouts, and after shooting them seven times, knocked them in tho head and left- them. Such barbarities as these are being daiy committed. In North Carolina it is frequent, among her forests of fa\ pine, for a lover in distress to send the fair objects -of his affections, a bit of its staple vegetable production, with an e}C painted upon it. This signifies "I pine." If favorable to him, the young lady se lccts from the wood pile the best ami smoothest specimens of a knot?(his signifies "pine, not." lint if, on the other hand, she detests him (there is no middle gruuud between detestation and adoration wi th young women,) she burns one end of his message," and this generally throws the young man in despair, for it means, I make light of your pining." Yankee female Assistant Surgeon. Miss Mary K. Walker, Assistant Snrgcou of thp olid Ohio Regiment, captured by our pickets and carried to l>alton on the 11th iustant, passed through Columbia yesterday on bcr way to Itieh'mond. She was in male attire, and presented the appearnncc of quite a neat little man at a distance. She was accompanied by two Confederate oillccrs and djd not appear at all abashed by the notice she attracted as she passed up the strcqt. As the Confederate Government does not war on women, General Winder will be puzzled*as to wliat disposition he will 'make of hpr.? Carolinian. Queen Victoria Crazy. A copy of the Liverpool Mercury of contains the following : ''That her Majesty iscngagcd upon a literary undertaking councctcd with the'history of her reign . has certainly seen stated in various Continental Journals which, upon all mat ters connected with Royalty in Jliis country, appear to possess some secret sources of information not open to the honid journals." This is credited to the London lieview, and if correct goes far to confirm the dark hints of Queen Victoria's partial mental adcrratiou which have acenssionally found a place in the papers of late years* Droad of the FutureIt is not to be disguised that the wisest . men at Washington, as well as through, out the country, look with fear and dread upon the issues of the coming "Prcsiden. tial canvas: The temper of the people | is so excited, the issues are so vital, the 'disturbances?civil, social and political? } created by war are so profound' that it, p is feared an excited. Presidential canvas will plunge the nation into chaos. Hence, though ful and prudent men have warmly seconded the idea to postpone the excitement of a President election - for four years more, by which time, it is - hoped,ithe rebeliun will not ouly be subdued, but the country will he tranquilizer f and restored to its normal coudition.? , Yankee Paper, " -? * , A Bill to Improve tho Currency. In the House of Representatives Mr Stevens, from the Ways and Means ' Comniitttec, rpeortcd . a bill to prevent a depreciation cf the currency. It ' provides that cvvry person, bank, asso elation or corporation issning notes tc circular as money shall pay a duty ol j ono ftburth of one per centum per month on the amowit issued. Monthly returns f arc to be made. After one year it shall ' be unlawful to issue such notes unless s s authoized by act of Congress. The con siderntion of the subject was' positioned t Keeipng Horses' Foet afitd Legs in Order. . I Tf T wnro asked to account for my I horses' legs and feet being iu better or-, I dor than those of my neighbor, I should j ' attribute it to the four following circum- [ stances : First they are all shod with ! few nails, so placed id the shoes as to. permit the foot to expand every time ' they move; second, that they ail live in I boxes instead of stalls, and can- move j , whenever they please; third, that they . have two hours' daily walking exercise when, they arc not at work; and fourth, i that I have not a headstall or track-'ejiain ! in my stoll. These four circumstances * *? I comprehend the whole mystery of keep"ing horses' legs fiuc, and their foot in j sound working condition up to a good old age.?3J ilos. 4 Where did That Man go to. ? In a certain hotel in a village in Alabama, there is employed a bar tender, who is in the habit of taking his -'tod" I pretty freely, but alwaysinakcs it a point never to drink in the presence of his employer. A few days ago, while lie was in*the act of drawing his "tod" preparatory to taking a drink,his employer catne into the bar room ratlior unexpectedly. Finding himself caught in the act, as lie set the tumbler and its contents on the counier, he cast his eyes around with a look of surprise and ex-' claimed: "Whore in creation did that' man that ordered that drink go to A Straw. The Colum bus correspondent of (lie Cincinnati Commercial writes to that paper: "As it is often said that 'straws show which way the wind blows,' it may not be out if place to mention 'a straw' which is indirectly, if not directly, con "V. ...... .... ....... , tomorrow. A delegate to the late con- I > vcution stepped into a periodical store iu this city, and purchased the photographs of some fourteen or fifteen of the Confederate.generals, and when shown a few Union generals, ho indignantly returned them, sayiug I doi^t want them ; these, referring to those he hail purccased, 'are good enough for me.'" 1 Icavc'your readers to draw their own conclusions." -V " Whom to Love is Death." There is said to be in Paris at this time a' very lovely, very charming young lady who is destined by an extraordinary fate to go through the world without being married. She is a dark beauty, with \ magnificent eyes, a glowing check, lively expression, :w graceful figure iu fact, al) together, endowed with every attraction, | even te that of having in her own right i a fortune of :J00,000, and being uu only ! daughter, with a prospect of hi hcriting j millions. This lady is now about twenty years old and has been engaged to bo married twelve times. Each time the seemingly fortunate lover lias died within a few weeks of the time appointed for the nuptial ceremony. Yet no suspicion of dagger or bowl can be cast upon the fair oik-; a dark, inystcriors fatality has carried them away. Several] died of typhoid fever ; one was killed iu j a duel; one was thrown from a horse) , two were drowned; two hung himself! The lady has survived all these shocks. Thirtccu may be for her the fortunate, and not the fatal number. Who will try ? Till? SOUTHERN FIELD & FIRESIDE.
