To auocecd well in makios? sugar, or syrup ot tbtf first quaiity, it is OTjhefltial rliat ao greater quaatity of the .-huulJ bo cut at oue tiiue than CUD be p.v^ifcrly preesf-d, and the juic^ hoil- td down to the granulating fK-int, on the sum.' day 1 am uwaro that a different opinion has been entertained aud acted on, but I am also aware that the result of this aotiwn has b.^n the failure generally to make sugar at ail, and the making of a large quantity ot very interior syrup^ Those who have not the means of pressing and I boiling the juice of the cane the same day they | are cut, had better confine their efforts to the making of syrup, vinegar and alcohol, as their attempts at making sugar mu3t result unsucce.^s- fally and unprofitably. The cause of this is, that as soon as the catie is out an alteration comuiencea almost immediately, which gradually creeps from the cat extremity int j all the joints of the stalk, decreasing the amount ol crystaVuable su4;'*r, and increasing the proportion ol uncryitali2ible sugar contained in it. Evan the broken and bruised oanes of a field will deteriorate the juice if p»ssed through the mill with the perfect canes. The Zoulouse caffrcs, when they have more caan cut than can be pressed expeditiously, bury the sur plus in the ground to protect it from the elfccts of the atmoephcre. The juice should be pressed from the caaes as thoroughly as possible, even if it should be neces sary tor this purpose to pass them repeatedly through the rollers, as that portion which is inost difficult to be expressed is considered the riobest in saccharine matter. It is neccssary to filter the jttioe as it comes from tho mill; in order to re move the cellulose and fibrous matters, ani the •Urch, all of which ate present in it when ex pressed. A bag filter, or one made of a blaeiket placed in a basket, will answer. Next, add' to 'each gallon of juice, three ounces of lime slaked in five or six times its weight of water 'fho juice should then be boildd by application ct a gradual heat, for twenty or thirty minutes, wlf.cu the imparities will rapidly rise to the surfaci; in m thick greenish scam, which can be easily re moved by the skimmer and then the liquid shomld a^ain be filtered. It will be of a pale straw cojor. mnd ready lor evaporation. It may now be botiea down quite rapidly, the temperature not to exceed 215 degrees, to about halt of its original balk, after which the fire must bo kept low, I he evaporation to be carried on with grtat cau*^iw'n, mnd the syrup constantly stirred to prevent it from burning at the bottom of the kettle cr evaj'O rating pan "^Portions of the syrup are to be taken oat from time to time, and allowed to cool, to ? if it is done enough to crystalise. It should be as dense as sugar home molasses or tar. When it has reached this condition it may be withdravi.’n from the evaporating vessel, and be placed in tubs or casks to granulate. Crystals ot sugar will begin to form in three or four days, but it often happens that weeks interven; before crya taiixatioQ takes placej but it may always be hsks* tened by addins; to the thick syrup, when cooleii, a few grains of brov.n sugar, or a little pulverized white sugar. Aftc it has solidified, it may be scooped out into conical bagrs, ma'le of .coarse open cloth, or (if canvas, which a-e to be hung over the re^eiver.^ of molasses, and the drainage being much aidoui by warmth, it will be useful to keep the tamperatun; of the room at or i)0 deg. F. After some dayh the suo^ar may be removed from the hag?>, and will be found to be a good brown sugar. It may novi- be refined by di*solving it »n hot water, addine' to the solution the white of one egg, mixed wi th oold water, for every 100 pounds of sugar; ^^ter which, the temperature is to be raised to boiling, *nd the syrup should be allowed to remain at tha« heat for half an hour. Then sk>m and filter, to reinove the coat'nlated albumen and the impuri- taefl it ha? extracted tr m the sugar It must not be fororotteo that sugar-making is an art, and that exc.lleace in it is only atti*ined by oloae nbv'rvatiorj a«d long experience. What was necessary {'ar the extraction of sug^r from the beet root, from which France annually pro duces 120,000,1300 poundi of sugai, is doubtless required tor the aorg um, viz: a thorough study of ita nature, wi h a process of extracting the sugar specially adapted to it. A very large proportion of our peopU will, doubtl«8», be satisfied with the production of good syrup, which they may obtain by following the process described aa above, until the juice atuins the required density. By ad mitting the lime water, an agreeable but slight ly aciduous syrup is formed of a lighter color, but it is not liable to orystalire, owing to the presence of solid matter. A cheap and good vinegar can be made from the ayrup. To eight gallons of clear rain water add three quarts of syrup; turn the mixture into a clean, tight cask, shake it well two or three times and add three spoonfuls of good yeast or yeast cake. Place the cask in a warm place, and in ten or fifteen days add a sheet of^ common wrapping paper, smeared with molasses, and torn into narrow strips, and you will soon have a good vinegar. Any sweet fruita or roots, such as figs, beets, water melon juice, the akimmings of the ■ugmr boiler, &a , add to the bulk and quantity, •when exposed to the oxygen of the air for the Aoetoos fermentation to be effected. The soienti- flo mode of making vinegar rapidly, is to pass the Equor repeatedly through barreia perforated •t the sides with holes and filled with wood shav ings, so that it m»y be thoroughly permeated by the oxjgen of the atmosphers.

A FB»NCH BOMANC* j In the year IV, or, in plainer Jflnglish, on the 22d^i April, 1796, a fair-haired man, named Jo(>eph Leaurques, arrived at Paris from his native town, ^ith hia wife and three He was a mm soac thirty-three ye’»ra old, b»d about £600 a year, and had^me to Paris to euu- oate his claldren. On the d»y of his arrival he visited one Gucsno, a carrier of Dauai, who in vited him to br^'akiast the nextday^ he went, and met for the ^>t time one Couriol. On the 8th F’lorraJ, four gentlemen, one of whom wa^Couri- o5, and another had light flaxen hair, rode out of Paris through tho barrier of Charenton; they dined at Mongeron, Hnd afte'rwards went on hc Lieusaiot, where the lair haired man tound he had broken the chain of his spur. His com panions rode on to an inn, but be stopped at a ca/e and borrowed some thread to mend the chain; he was not very skillful iu wending it, &nd a female servant relieved him of the task, an helped to fasten tho spur on the boot man rejoined his companions, and, af^^er drio^tng some wine at the inn, they all rod»* on. But the fair haired man was dftstinod to be unlucky; lie soon found that he had left a sabre, which,’lihe the re.«t, he wore, at the inn, and he galloped back for it, had a glass of brandy, and again set off alter his triends Meanwhile the courier from Paris to Lyons had f topped at tho inn to change horses, and he set off on the saKO road, accompanied by a postilion and tho single passengsr allowed to bo taken by him The next morning the courier and postilion were tound killed by the wayside, the mail bags rifled, and one horse gone; between four and five the same morning five persons entered Paris by the barrier of liambouilet and a little after the missing horse was found wandering about the Place Royale, while four horses in a very jaded con dition were returned to a horse keeper byt4wo persons (one ol them Courtol) who had hired them the roorninK before Oouriol was soon ar rested, and also Ouesno, but as the latter proved a distinct rfibi, he was immediately diecharged. The nest day Guesno wished to return to Douai, and proceeded to the magistrate who had inve‘»ti- ga^.ed the charge against him, for a permit; on the road he called on his friend Losurques, who accompanied him. But at the magistrate’s they found the inn keeper of Mongeron. and tho maid servant of the Lieusaint ca^e, both of whom enounced Gues no and Lesurques as two of the murderers; the innkeeper recognized J.(Csurque8 as one of the men who had dined at Mongeron; the maid ser vant swore he wa« the man whose spur chain she had mended, and subsequently tho innkeeper, stable-boy and a gardener at liiousaint, deposed that he VW3 the horseman who had returned for the sabre he had left behind Lesurqu’’?, GuiS- no aad Couriol were fied; the i Ibi established by Guesno wus complete, and lie wa? acquitted. The witnesses persisted in declaring that Lesur- ques wa.s one of the party, but, on the other hand, he callcd two tradesmen, who ?wore that they had dined with him in Paris, on tho evening of the >th; several workmen abnut his departmect, who depo.sed that they seen him repeatedly on tha* day; and a jeweler named L’grarid, who affirmed that he had had business *.ransicti'^n« with Les urques on the Hth, sad produced his account book to prove it.

Suddenly three negroes in uniform oame up, stopped the carriage and said to the dri ver, “Wbat are you driving that white trash for? We have srot a gnn for you.

Our troops were ready^to receive them. The work of 8-iarrshooting was spirited ^nd severe. The cn en;y had bc»n enabled to form hia line of battle on tho north back of theYi^er imm»’diately upon and under cover of the bank. This line wa.s charged by H ides’ and a part of Gordon’s divis ions. The yankee line w^ broken, and gave way throughout its entire length; t^’e fugitives plunged into the river which i* here about 150 yards in width, and s >ught safety in this danger- ous i;;ode of retreat. Our riflemen no* hsd a fair chance, and gave ampje testimony of their compet ncy in such bloody work Never since the suTind of the rifle was first heard ia thiB beautiful Valley have the “sea green” waters of the Shenandoah been s )reddened with human gore as oa ♦hi« afternoon.

He is late ir discoverinu' what every Kcnfuckian, not debauched by bribery ought to *^avc known ia the beginning, and his c. nve sijn now is more important in showine w ich w.iy tho wind blows, than because it deprives Lincoln of a supporter in the U. S. Senate. In a speech in that body, shortly before its adjourn- rnent, Mr. Davis said: ‘ lie b.'lieveda war could n t be long continned a-aiG.st ihc foelings and judgment of the people and the will of tho masses; and when they see v-^-st expf nditureof treasure and blood, they shrink back ppilled from the contempTatiou ot a con tinuous prosecution of hostilities. A change had come over the spirit ol the majority of the loyal people ot the (Jntfed States, aud they desired to bring the war to a close. They had seen the pow ers oltlie overument grossly perverted, threaten ing their liberties. This wag the deep conviction ot ’^he people, and it was not strange it should be so. At the commencement of the war he was coercioni.'it, but he was not one now. There were two thermometers, one in Congress ar»d tho Kxe cuuve Department and the other in the people. ‘‘A million of men have perished in this war or been permanently disabled. Tho public debt is 82,000,000 000 and if the war be conLued anotheryear,«800,000,000,at least, wUl be added, with all tho perversion ol the objects ot the war and with all the perils it has brought upon the Constitution and popular ri^jhts. “//« would prejt", - thousand fold, peace to a coniinu!tnce of this war. “He would say to Kentucky, the time has come when this bloody and destructive and revolution ary policy s..ould stop, and that the people, the masters oi the Government, should rise in their majesty and take the afl^air in their own hands " Another Surprise for Mr. H-^lden.—The Ad- Vanee steamer is safely in, with more of Govern or \''anoc’s blessings for the soldiers and their families. The Ad-Vanoe went to England, and Mr. Holden has been insisting upon it that she would never get back. Fish from the Chudt.—Mr. Samuel Reeves, Sr., picked up in the road between his house and town yesterday, just aflber a shower of rain, two or three little fishes; nnd r>car the Post 0£co in this place, another—all unknown in the waters near this town. He thinks they came down with the shower of rain.—Satis Watchman. First Attempts.—“It will do" is a very bad saying.
