I am satisfied that shrnD. made as it may be, from the Chinese Cane, j 1. X" 1 I.,. IVl.DI till cannot fail to please the taste of the most refined .! til ami iatiuious. If you want the sirup fair, or almost transparent, it must be boiled in a house, as boiling it in the open air darkens it. The best plan is to toil it down a little in large vessels, and then take it out and finish boiling in large flat ovens. Jv boiling a few pots full you can easily learn how ti temper it any person who has made molasses candy can tell when to stop the process, as it looks, when sufficiently concentrated, like molasses in the oper ation of candy making. When the juice is first put to boil, to every ten gallons throw m a piece of carbonate of soda about the size of a partridge egg ; this causes the gluten and albumen to rise to the top. It is of the ut most importance you should keep your boilers well skimmed during the whole operation, and after it h done be careful to skim off" all the foam and froth before putting juur sirup away, as this will form hard lumps in your vessels. Tho cane must be well ripe to make a good turn out of sirup to thejuiee; when the seeds arc nearly black and the Btalk yellow, you may cutaway, all is ready. That sugar can be made from the Chinese Cane, I have no doubt; but even if we cannot make sugar, if the molasses is properly made it will answer all the purposes of sugar as a condiment, and for cul inary purposes. l or the benefit of any that wihb to try the experiment of making sugar from t lie Chinese Cane, and are not acquainted with the usual process, I will give them all the information 1 have on the subject. The juice as it runs from the mill is immediate ly mixed with lime, in the proportion of one part lime to eight hundred of juice, and heated to 140 degrees Fahrenheit; this causes all the impurities to rise to the top and form a thick scum; all below this scum is usually drawn oft" by a cock into a copper boiler, ( an ordinary pot will answer as well, ) and the scum that rises to the top carefully skim med off. Then concentrate the juice by ebulition and k i in oft' the froth as it forms. W hen concen trated sufficiently, transfer to shallow vessels and let it partially cool; then put it into wooden ves sels, (large wooden bowls would probably answer.) and let it stand twenty-four hours; then stir pretty rapidly with wooden stirrers in order to make the sugar granulate; it will take from four to six hours to complete the operation. Have holes in the bottom of your wooden vessels, and have them temporarily plugged: after the operation of granu lating is completed, pull out the plugs and let the mouusea (train nut, and your sugar win ne leit in the wooden vessels; it then has to be dried in the sun, 4c. The purifying of sugar is an entirely dim-rent branch of business. 1 f anything in this communication will be of benefit to any one they are welcome; and I would be triad to hear the experience of others through the same ciuutael.

Mr Douglas' speech con tained this amusing passage: In the remarks which I have made upon this platform, and the position of Mr Lincoln upon it, I mean nothing personal, disrespectful or unkind to that gentleman. I have known him for nearly twenty-five vears. 'e had many points of sympa thy when 1 first got acquainted with him. We were both comparatively boys both struggling with poverty in a stranee town for our support. 1 an humble school teacher in the town of Winches- j tor, and he a flourishing grocery-keeper in the town .of Salem. fLaoghter.J He was more suc cessful in hfet occupation than I. and hence became more fortunate in this world's goods. 31 r Lincoln is one of those peculiar men that has performed with admirable skill in every occupation that he ever attempted. 1 made as good a school teacher black Republicanism and its exponents in all their as 1 could, and when a cabinet-maker I made the ' forms !

But 1 believe that ,ir. laineoin was more sneecssini in ins tiiismess than J, for his business soon carried him directly into the Legislature. There I met him in a tittle time, and I had a symjathy for him, because of the up-hill straggle we had in life. Cheent and laugh ter. He waa then as good at telling an anecdote as now. 11c could beat any of the boys at wrest ling could outrun them at a fbot-racc beat them all pitching (juuits and tossing a copper, and could win lucre liquor than all the boys put together; laughter and cheers; and the dignity and impar tiality with which he presided at a horse-race or a fist-tight were the praise of everybody that was present and participated. Renewed laughter. Hence 1 hud a sympathy for hini. because he was struggling with misfortune and so was I. Mr Lincoln served with me, or I with him, in the Legislature of lS.'itj, when we parted. He subsided or submerged for some years, and I lost sight of him. Tn 1846, daring the'Wihuot Proviso tornado, Mr Lincoln again turned Bp as a member of Congress from Sangamon District.

" Now let us see how a plain statement of facts will completely put down all these misrepre sentations of black Republican rrumbull, thus en dorsed and commended by the Raleigh Register ! The Washington Union of the 25th August says : " But our object in this article was to compare e sfad nmits of the Illinois senator with the nets as they appear of record. The senator, after deal ing in some general misrepresentations, particular izes the expenses of collecting the revenue as a subject for which he censures the democratic par ty, and holds them responsible for an increase in the same, lie institutes a comparison between the expenditures under this branch when Mr Fill more was President and the last year of Pierce's administration, and attempts t. ridicule certain expenditures in certain localities by showing the disparity between the amount paid for the services in collecting and the amount actually collected. For instance, he says at Wilmington, Delaware, there was collected in lN7 2,0U4 95, while the expense of collecting was S1;",84S 38. He omit ted to tell his constituency that in 1852, the last year of Fillmore's administration, at the same port there was collected 4,481 49, of which the ex pense of collection was 28,131 10; and yet he held the document in his hand from which he ob tained the one fact, and from which he might have communicated the other. Again, he says at An napolis, Maryland, there was collected in 18"7 8374 25, and expense of collecting was $983 42, and yet he remembered to forget to inform his con stituency, to whom he was endeavoring to impart the truth from the very same document, that in 1S.")2 there was collected at Annapolis, the very same port, &123 GO, and the expense paid for the collection of the same 2,133 80!! Again, at Ocracoke, in North Carolina, 882 55 was collected in 1S7 expense of collecting; 82.301 52; and vet this verv official report of the Secretary of the Treasury which he triumphantly held up, contain ed the information which Mr Trumbull would not communicate to his people, that at this identical port in the State of North Carolina the anio .nt collected in 1852 was 843 72, and the expenses 82,.17 70; and so we might convict him in every case to which he could have referred. Every one acquainted with the subject knows that many col lection districts do not pay expenses, nor was it expected they would when they were created by Congress. They are instituted to prevent smug gling, and men cannot be expected to give their time and labor for such purposes without being paid for it. It could not have been Mr Trum bull's want of sagacity that prevented him from kuowing it. The senator is equally unfortunate when he as cent's from particulars to the total expenses of col- .- r the revenue. lie says that during Fill more's administration the whole revenue was col lected for much less than it was during the admin- : istratiou of Gen. Piei ce. This is the assertion of a senator who ha.s reached one id" the proudest posi tions not only in this republic, but, we might add, the world, and yet the official document he held in his hand, and from which be attempted to instruct the people, contained the withering fact that the amount of revenue collected in 18"2 was 149,165,933 84 ! The expenses for colleet'g same. 3,865,423 28 And the am t of revenue in J8;7, 04,171,034 (i. ;.Vn -a i : Expenses for collecting the same, 3,5 Js any further evidence needed to vindicate our charge that his speech was disingenuous, disrepu table, and disgraceful '! " Thus is Trumbull exposed in a few words, and held up to the scorn of all honest men. Will the Raleigh Register publish this reidy of the Union to Mr Trumbull ? If the object of .hat paper be : truth, it will; if not, not. j 1 his, then, is a specimen ol the manner in which j the administration is assailed. Black Renubiican testimony is t ailed up to injure an administration, and to deprive it of the confidence of the Southern people, by whose constitutional right it has stood like a rock, breasting the storm of abolitiouism. And this is done by a paper professedly Southern rights ! by a paper professing to be devoted to the truth 1 by a paper which professes to detest g"g the people in lbbO as they were huinbugged in jviu. inuv rcirarti every new generation as i . i . . nrt i their lawful prey. Let the Democrats be on the alert, and spike their guns as fast as they are load ed; and let the people without regard to party hold to a strict account those Southern politicians who shall presume, in the-extremity of their nartv bit- terncss. to ally themselves in any manner whatso ever with the djsuuionists and black Kepublicans of the North. a .

Clinch, chartered for that purpose by James Conner, Esq., United States District Att mey. A guard, detailed from the United States forces in this command, has been assigned to Castle Pinckney. As the Africans passed from the steamer to" Castle Pinckney wharf, they presented a sad and affecting sight, which was closely observed by all present. Many were reduced to walking skeletons, and some evidently in a "lying condition. A few indicated dropsies, and there were instances of hernia. Some also exhibit traces of other diseases, but a goodly number were apparently in health. Many wf them arc very young. Sixteen seamen of the captured crew were brought up to the city in the steam-tug Aid, and have been lodged in jail, under charge of the United States Marshal. They are able bodied and fine looking seamen the profits of this trade being sufficient to secure the best crews. The Captain or the one supposed to have been in command of the Echo is still a prisoner in the Dolphin, and will probably be taken to Boston for trial. Charleston Courier, oO'i. The laws provide the penalty of death of those who are concerned in the violation of the United States laws prohibiting the slave trade. The Mer cury says that "their trials will take place at Colum bia, before His Honor Judge Wayne, Circuit Judge, dames Conner, U. S. District Attorney, prosecutiug officer, 'ihe Court begins to sit the 4tb Monday in November." Speaking of the crew, the Mercury says: "One is a Creek, one an Italian; some of them are Portuguese, some Spaniards and sonic English. Some of them talk about New York, but none now admit that they are Americans, or have a wherea bouts in this country. These smugglers arc a desperate looking set of fellows." The officers and crew of the Dolphin, under the laws of 1819, will receive a bounty of twenty-five dollars for each African who has been delivered to the United States Marshal. We suppose the President will make 2rovision for sending the Africans to Liberia. Married Twin:. The .Madison (Wis.) Jour nai says : Quite a romantic wedding took place at Mazo niania, in this county, last evening. The groom was a returned Califomian, who left his wife for the auriferous land about seven years ago, and the wife the bride that was left. Some time after he reached California a year or more his wife re ceived intelligence of bis death. Two or three years later she learned that the story was untrue, but that he never intended to return. Upon this, with the advice of friends, she obtained a divorce. Two or three days since the wanderer returned, and called upon his former wife. Old affections revived, faith was plighted anew, and last evening he led her, a blush ins bride, to the altar for the secont ceede time.

The Religions Meeting noticed in our two last papers is still in progress at the Methodist Church and the feeling has also extended to the other denominations. Prayer meeting is held daily in the Presbyterian Church at 12 m. and Divine service at night. Religious services are also held nightly at the Baptist Church. So far there has been over one hundred converts at the Methodist Church, fifty five of whom are Students of the University. Great concern is manifested, by the Students especially, and scores are daily awakened by the stirring and eloquent appeals from our several pulpits, to a sense of their awful condition out of Christ.

Prof. John Wilson, of '-Southwood School." at Talladega, Ala., died on the 2od ult., from taking morphine sent through mistake for quinine. A letter to the Montgomery Advertiser says : The morphine which caused the death was pro cured at a drugstore by Mr Wilson's son, who had been sent for q n inine that medicine having been ordered by a physician for a negro woman, belong ing to the Professor, who was lying dangerously ill. She died shortly after its administration, an- parently from the disease under wdiich she had been laboring. Nothing particularly was thought of this; but shortly afterwards Prof. AV. was at- tacked by a chill, and was ordered to take twenty grains of quinine in two doses. He took what he supposed to be quinine, but which wa-s really the ! morphine purchased by his son, and soon after fell 1-11 1.1 . . w . into a stupor, m wnicn lie died. A Airs Lawler also died a few hours subsequently from the same cause. The excitement in Talladega in eonse- quenee of these suddeu deaths is said to have been intense. " A Kicn Scene.
