McGowan, and the Defence by Col. Orr. who each delivered elaborate speeches on the occasion. The boy was sentenced to six months imprisonment, and to receive 600 la&lies, to be given twice a month, 50 lashes lit such time. A former trial at Greenwood before I->q. rnrran*, lmd resulted in a failure to obtain a verdict. Fino Syr op; We have been presented by Mr. John Ilrownlee of our District, with a specimen of very superior yrup, manufactured by him from the Chinese Sugar Cane, which in flavor, color and consistency cannot be surpassed, Its superiorly he attributes to the fact of its being made from cane which was fully mntured, and thinks the cane would sufler no injury by standing till frost. The proportion of syrup obtained was one gallon of svrup from 0 gallons of juice. Mr. Brownleo, 1ms recently visited the planta.ion of Mr. lVt?rs of Go.,- and Gen. Hammond, ind from his own observatf<>ft, as weft as from heir testimony, thinks that tlifc plant is domed to effect a great revolution. m ? The Thespfans.

After a long interlude, and with o probable ccrsntion of (be performance* until .he completion of anew Hall, Hie present occasion furnishes* rare opportunity of which >11 lovers of tbe Drama should avail tliemlelres. Chinese Sugar Can*. Mr. Jefferson J)ouglnss has handed us for pubIcntion the following statement, as to the yield >( the Chinese sugar cane. The cane was irushed by a common wooden mill: "Sixteen stalks of the cane, grawn on ordinary upland, produced six quarts and a pint of :he juice ; and twelve and a half gallons of the juice produced three gallons of syrup. "Ten stalks of the cane, grown on good bot torn jonti, produced live quarts andoo? pint of the juice." Tlie syrup manufactured wnt of m rery superior quality, and i* pronouneed by competent judge* to be equal to aoy tbat tliev had ever tug ted. Mr. Douglasaflthinks, that tf?t- wooden mill is supefior to the cast iron, in its capability of expressing the juice ; and indeed the result of the yield at give* io the above statement, ia certainly fnr greater than that in any previous account that we Kave -seen.

I 'lie letter is very denunciatory of Gen.

It also denounces the conduct of c ion.

The letter of Ccn. Pillow lint elicited a re >ly from Gen. Hitchcock. Inspector Geaerwl f tlie Army in Mexico, and late Brevet, Brigdier General. The letter churges Gen. Pillow rith having accepted a comnund in the Mex:nn Waifefot- the purpose of being a ?py upon ii? comm.inding General, and that Gen.

The Editor of the Anderson G'uzctlc, has reently visited the Blue Itidge Tunnel, and ivcsn very encourngeing report of tire progo#s of the work. The Tunnel is one of the ongcxt in the United States, and its entire ourse is tUiougl* one entire rock. The work pou the Tunnel was not fairly commenced >eforc the middle of the last yenr; when the equiaite machinery win procured, and nn ade iiuite force first employed, by the present enrgciic contractors, the Messrs. Geo. Colycr JL* 'o. We make the following extract with refrence to the condition and prospects of the An eximrinnlion of tlic work, nnd a eompnrion of the progress made by Mr. Collyer in the list-j'enr witli that of the previous contrncor.?, will show how much the energy and inInstry with which it is prosecuted- It tins rogres<ed stendily and rapidly, nnd our obsor ation has inspired us witli confidence in tiie xperienec of the present contractor, nnd his ibility to complete the Tunnel within a few ears, notwithstanding the occasional delays o which he is subjected l>y the want of full urce. The enstern end of the Tunnel has been fin-hed, ami is ready for the track to an extent oinething over 450 feet, while I lie company in he western end Ima penetrated to the extent of !00 feet. Shafts No*. 1 nnd 4 nre to grade levI, nnd the two companies in the 1st. working n opposite directions, have finished over :i?Mi ret. Shaft. No. 4, have recently reached grade evol, two companies will be shortly* employed n thaL'ouc, upon the latter excavations. Shaft Co. 2 is steadily progressing, nnd is within 7u i*i-t of the graded level. With the exception if Shaft. No. 3. upon which there was a tern ornrv suspension of the work, on account of in injury to the engine, the work at every >oinl win progressing by tiny and night with ill the force that could be conveniently emiloyed. WIii-ii nil the shafts have rcuchcd [rade level, they will afford work for eight ompanies, besides two other* in the opposite mis of the Tunnel. Each company consists >f 25 men, oud we were informed that each me could excavate from 25 to 30 feet per nontli. Thus it will be perceived that under he constant supervision of the present enerretic contractors, this great work is going ou [villi an industry and regularity which ensures ts enrly completion, nnd entitles it to the fullest tubliu confidence. It is a work of no small mportanee, and is destined to produce a uew ;r? in our prosperity. Its advantages are klrcadv sensibly felt in this section of the State, ind as it progresses they will be more generally extended. Commercially and politically it A'ill be a great public bleessing. It will afford 111 ensv nnd ready access to n portion of conn,ry which for resources, health and scenery is iiisurpnssed l?y any other on earth. It will ?ive the tide of Southern travel a new direc;i?n, nnd retain at home the wealth which lins icon so liivirthly squandered abioud. In view >f these results, and the settled public opinion n favor of the communication pro|>osed by hi* Ko..d, we cannot but be encouraged by lie progress which is being made upon the work everywhere.?Anjerton Uazetl*.
