THVKHnAl. SEPTRMBKB 29, isJwT
McC lellak’s I’RospRt-Ts—We are indebtod to
our friend ('apt. J. W. Stranjre, now stationed on
the Biackwater, for a copy of the New York WorM
of the 19th inst. More than 21 columns of it, in
•umll typCj are devoted to a depcription of im-
naeuse McClellan ratidcation meeting, qf series of
ineetings, that took place at Union 8q ’arp on the
lith. The World claims that there %»ere lUO.OOO
p^’ople pr *8eDt. and that they yrere ei'thu-iaptio in
their dttermifmtiofl to elect Mct.’lellan. Meetings
were organized at ten different stiinds around the
Sqnarc, and speeches were bemp delivered ut iili of
them at the same time. 68 McCleilau dijhs, from
t_he didt'rent W ards of the city and the surroundinsr
towns and villages, joiDcJ the grnnd procession, onl-
haui with batinefs and lights. Mayor ^uuther pre
sidea and spoke at Stand No. 1, and amonir otbrr
ep(>akers were Hon. li.^bert C. Winthrcp of IJ^'ston
Uov. Parker of New Jersey, Jas. T. BraiJ;-. A.
Oakey Hftil, Angnste Belo-.ont. McICfon,
i nrdy, tJallatin, Tallmadge. Wulbridtre, 3t .
Such ttiingg mdic.'ite thui we may have been too
hasty in eetiin^ down thrdefeat oraloCldlan as cer
tain. There appears to be more of vitality in hia
party than ^'e L;ui f'upposed.
Bat then‘ is one view which may decidediv coh>-
plicati' % election. I’he theory orth« Uhlted'state^
18 that tWre are stitl or 40 States, as the ca.se
may be, in tat Union. It requires a majority of ah
the votes of all the States, to elect*. Now suppose
all ihei>tates, including i^-e ('onfed»rate States, be
entitled to .5»H) votes. Lincoln mnst receive l.^G to
elect him. He Must get these 156 rotes in the
Lnited States. Kve-y (.’oafederate State that fails
to vote in the election, is. in effect, equivalent to a
vote for-McOlellan, and therefore, if ne thould ac
tually receive some TO or 75 votes, though he till not
of course be elected, neither will-Lincoln b*e. Aud
the same result may happen iu the jiouse of licpre-
s^tativee, into which the election would then be
thrown LincMn must there get a majority of all
the .Sut^. aud it will not do for him to say that the
Confederate States are not par^of ihe Uuiied States.
It is said that the New if oik Trioune concedes that
ilcClelian will carry tive or six Stafes iu the Elec-
loral colleges. So wc uray yet hope for trouble
to the yankees from the election. Though we may
cart* but little whether acoln or McClellan be
citcted, we ',io care, and are very deeply interested,
mat they get into another revoludon iu consequence.
—There are neany a nundred thousand
occupying the grievous position of prisoatrs of

them, ana tuose te** people of no poUtif al inilaence.
1 he accounts of the treatmeut experienced by our
man m the yankee prisous are very coutradictory,
owing, we have no doubt, to the diti'eriog characters
of tue men wno have cojimand at the diilereni pris
ons. We hear (x a letter liom a youag prisoner at
Point Lookout, to ms mothsr m this pUce, ;n wnich
tue pleasatu Situation of tue camp, the rations, the
facility for bathing and listiiug, and the treatment
generally, are spo^eu of iu t^rms of commeuflhliion.
We like to hear of such case.-*, for tue evidences ot
ill treatment at ott'er places are too pooitivi and
maltiplied tb be douoted.
Thb VALLEf Battlks.—It need«"d no gliobt to
tell what troops it was mat lost tue day in thvi acver^
battle near V'*'uichestcr on me’ tyihiusi. Tae V rgiuia

CHINKSE SUGAR CANE.
FOB THB O-BSERVEK. .
Messrs. Editors:. Many inquiries have fl?ei^TOde
of me in regard to ilie Cuinese Sugar Caue auU its
treatment; allow me to repiy through your paper.
First, as to its poisoning cattle: M.y opiuion i» that
the cause is similar to a theory which I h.tve in pri
vate expressed as to the cauie of tne lanaous Milk
.Sick, it is a noted tact, iu our mountains at least,
ihatlf cat Lie are kept up uutil the dew dries off from
the grcea forage and diiveu in before the dew falls
inlhe evening, taat ihe^- never eutfcr fiom this sick-
ue.ss. ilcuce 1 urew the idea that it was caused by
some poisoauua exhalation waich comoining either
with tiic Hydrogen oi tne dew or wnth some of tue
cut micai eiemeats of tue plants—perhaps botli
lonned as loug ai tao dew lasted a poison—
•luiiiar to Hydiocyanio (PrasBicj Acid or some oi its
coaibiuauou.-. .^t anv ratA: I am. ^i>ruied
•'! .1 7itfrisii tree on OUT Oionntam
even of our coaimon wild Cherry wuen wet with dew
are d.-adly poisoa, but when dry iiom the sun are
uarmlesa. I'ne similar theory 1 nave in relation to
tne sjoighum is that us poisonous qualities, if it has
any, are due to » similar coitjomatioa of its acid witn
soaie other cuemical constituent with the dew, and
tuat the reason ot its being more injurious to cattie
m certain sections—swampy regions for instance—is
because the dews are heavier ana more fully laden'
with the hurtful gascs in tnose sections. Tnis is
theory it is true but theory drawn from observation.
I’neu too fiome may puil it with dew on, others in tne
middle of the day. Tueu agaia that caue grown on*
high sanay'iaud is not-so apt t»poiaou as tuat grown
ou ricn swamp or low laad. ;Some think tlie cause
IS from the horous matter accumuiatiug in. the sto
mach and, oeing hard aud indigestible, tnus tijls me
passages aad produces dcata. i do uot liunk auy
oue nas proved thi3 oy openmg tne stomacu of an
auimal, uead from eating the bugar Caue; and if it
were so the same result would occur lu oue section
as wed as in anot^r. vS'ueecas a geutleman «t
bampsou says his uaiiie died trom eating the ciiagar
Cane, whiie geutlcmeu from Kichmond aud ^(obeson
bay ta»ir catile live ou it. i am ia^ witn these ideas
oui/ luey may serve some oue, wuo has tne abiUty,
for t'oandauoas on wnich to base experiments Uext
year.
M.y opinion is that sugar cannot be made to any
profit, from the riorgaum. The only part of the caue
wbvcp. Will make -sugar is tuat waiuu has a red heart,
and iL It IS jdoaired to make sugar tne butts up to
uear ’'Vue.e tue red ueart ceoseii must be cut oH at^fi
'I'ouDi for that purpose, dome varieties have no
red tieart.
Tne ^vperiinjuts waich i have made show that it
IS very nard i^tr tne caue to get too ripe, aad if kept
or d.;v.-i.'al ua}s altei' rut Will yield less juice out
aiore ’ ?yrup, iu«i if cut and imaiediately pi'esseJ.
Ihe Setcchi^riue lUattcr does not evaporate, it loses
