From all directions we hear of largo quantities' of "sirup being mado from tho Chinese sugar cane. There will be no scarcity of molasses in the Confederacy for some time to come, and if any one has been holding on to the Now Orleans "sweetening" for the purpose of getting an exhor- hitant price, we think he is doomed to disappoint ment.. From 'Mrs. U. Peoples, of this county, we have received a specimen of sirup of her make which is as good as auy one Could desire. From Col. Win. M. Grier, also, we have received a very nice urticle of sirup. Four years ago wo frequently urged upon the peo;lo the importance of cultivating the Chinese sugar cane, and we are gratified to know that they have generally done so the past season, and are. now realizing'n handsome yield of good sirup suffi cient for homo consumption at least.

The result of tho late Northern elections shows that . the people of tho North have made up their minds to either subjugate or exterminate tho people of the South or acknowl edge their independence. They have determined to do all they can to subjugate .us, and failing in ! that, they must acknowledge our independence as a ! nation. "There is to be no half-way settlement we j must c ither submit unconditionally to Abe Lincoln j or we must maintain our independence, lhose :J ,1 fti persons who talk about peace on any terms short of entire independence, are deluding themselves or are trying to wilfully delude tho people, and in either ease are helping to prolong the war. Everybody in the South must make up their minds to secure independence or become the subjects and slaves of Lincoln. On these terms alone can the war stop ; nnd it is certain that it will not stop until our inde- pendence is secured, unless all the fighting men of ' causes a great amount of discontent among the the South are exterminated.

ES A man by the name of Smith is announced as a candidate for Congress in the 9th District, in opposition to the Hon. B. S. Gaither. Smith has ! been under arrest for some time past as a disloyal person. Gen. Hoke, who has been in the moun tains arresting deserters and tories, considered Smith about as bad as any, and therefore arrested him. No doubt Smith would make a fair represen tative for deserters, tories and grumblers and fault finders generally, and there is no doubt but that such men will vote for him. Gen. J. II. Morgan. Some uncertainty has ex isted iu the public mind as to the treatment of Mor gan and his officers by the Yankees. But Lieut. Col. Alston, Morgan's Adjutant General, settles the matter by a letter tu Mr. Seddon, becretary of War. He says : r "On the 2fith July Brigadier General Morgan and most of his officers were captured. They were carried to Cincinnati, and from thence he aud twenty-eight of his officers were selected and car ried to Columbus, Ohio, where they ' were shaved and their hair cut very close by a negro convict. They were then marched to the bath-room and scrubbed, and from there to thair cells, where they wiro locked up. The Federal papers published, with great delight, a minute account -of the whole proceedings. Seven "days afterwards forty-two more of General Morgan's officers were conveyed ftm Johnston's Islaad to the penitentiary and sub UI CU U 10 1,10 5a,nu Col. Alston further states (to show the faithless ness of the Yankee authorities) that on one occa sion Morgan captured a Yaukco regiment and pa roled tho officers and men at the earnest request of their Colonel ; that shortly afterwards this same Yankee regiment, instead of observing their parole and retiring from the service until exchanged, cap tured some of Morgan's men and treated them with the greatest indignity" aud harshness, taking their boots and hats and throwing them away, and even taking crackers and cheese from our men in order to make them suffer for food. The Colonel himself, who was paroled by Morgan, actually taking part ; .1 ,l.,..n.lltf n,.r.l...- in Uiis dastardly conduct. Col. Alston calls the attention of our Government to the fact that this paroled Yankee regiment was continued in tho service without being exchanged. Maryland. The following paragraph from a Northern-; paper shows how Lincoln is managing subjugibsci iMaryland : "Tho enlistment of negro troops in Maryland omcers uiu anyciimg contrary to law they would De superceded; but the recruiting must go on.' The recruiting of negro slaves to fight against the white people of tho South must go on, says Lincoln; and iu order to get them he is robbing the people of Maryland of their property, thus violating the oath he took, when' inaugurated as President, to main tain the constitution of the so-called United States. The constitution of the United States guarantees to its citizens the right to hold slave property, but Lincoln disregards this guarantee and deprives the people" of Maryland of their lawful property. He will next take their lands and houses. Such is the fate of Maryland, and such will be the fate of North Carolina and the other States composing the Con federacy, if the Lincoln Government ever gets them under its power. : A Move in the Right Direction. It is stated that one of the largest meetings of the citi zens of Warren county, N. C, ever held in that county, assembled on the 20th of October, at War ren too, and passed the following resolutions: 1st. llesolved, That we, the citizens of Varren couuty, will promptly deliver the tenth of ourjro ducts to the Government as required by law. la.

I THE ELECTION. - " . Mb. Eeitor : The election for, menibeis of : Congress occurs on Wednesday next, the 4th day of November. Can it be possible that the true men of this District will-allow the Hon. William , be defeated a man who in Congress and ?' of " bas given the Government an unwaver- i ; tZZZ 7h Confcderate cause but if they by carelessness and apathy permit Lander to be -defeated, the cause J yfi certainly suffer, and the time may come when w.k nils uvri VUIJT lUllt UgaiUDIi kUU VVUlCUbiavj as they are now doing, but will act against it, and thus bring civil war to odr midst. I do not say that Dr. llamsay, Mr. Lander's opponent, is no- true to the South, (although he denounces the Con-' iederate Administration and its measures for prose cuting the war,) but I do say that every deserter, skulker and tory, every man who is for stopping the war upon any terms even if it requires fcub- rmssion to our brutal and cruel euetnies, every coifecript who wants to evade military duty, all tavor of Dr. Kamsay. Ibis should be a warning to true mep, and 1 go so far as to say that it ought to dispose Dr. Ramsay to decline being a candi- date. YYnv. sir. the other dav a man. a citizen of the county of Mecklenburg, proclaimed that he was for Kamsay and for the old Union. Are we who arc suffering, and having our sons, brothers and fathers murdered by the Yankees, going to allow such declarations .to be made without swift and severe punishment to those who make them ? UI repeat, that if we allow Lander to be defeated, we shall have trouble here at home, for the dis loyal will feel encouraged in their traitorous con duct. If those who are the bold and unflinching friends of the Government and Administration are rpl'oat ( in fhfs loot-inn ffion thu Tir. trooa mill feel encouraged to invade our State in all dir.e.. itions and continue the war for our subjugation and ruin, and thus the war will be prolonged. I earnestly appeal to the friends of the. Confed eracy, to those who want to convince the enemy that we will never submit, and to those who are really anxious for independence and peace, to turn out on Wednesday and vote for Lander. Let every true man urge his neighbor to go to the polls. I have traveled in every county in the Dis trict but oae, and I tell 31 r. Lander's friends that there is a necessity for energy and activity. A little exertion now may save much trouble here after. NO-PARTY. KILLED AND WOUNDED . In North Carolina Regiments in the fight at Bristow Station, Va., Oct. 14th: - 26th -Regiment.

On the 16th Oct. a company of partisan rangers, under the command of Major Edgar Burroughs, attacked the steamer J. B. White, on the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal, captured and burnt her, together with a dredging machine and two lighters, which she was towing. This steamer is the same vessel which was run out from Norfolk to Fortress Monroe last year by J. Byers, the Pilot, who gave information to the Federals that the evacuation of the city was going on. - She was o,n her way to great Shoals, and was "Captured at a place called Bethelgar. The crew and passengers were taken off into a swamp near by and paroled. The steamer was valued al 30,000. Major Burroughs also attacked the mail steamer Fawn on the canal; but though a heavy fire was poured into her, she got by. Richmond Dispatch. TnE Warfare of the Enemy. The war as waged by the enemy in the distant and remote parts of the Confederacy as on the Western border is assuming a 'barbarity and atrocity revolting to humanity. For instance, a Kansas City (Missouri) paper, speaking of the policy of Gen. Ewing (the Yankee general in command of that department) towards the secessionists of that I country f,. says: "Gen. Ewing's policy toward these wretches from the start, before as well as since the Lawrence massacree, has been simple extermination nothing less. His orders have been., to take no prisoners from them, and the orders have been strictly obeyed." Aain, the St. Louts Democrat, an Abolition sheet, says, in referring to the troubles on the Missouri border: j tne border counties, and general devastation is j cbservablc." V The. other day we published an extract from a speech delivered by a Yankee Kansas colonel named Jcnison. This ruffian declared that he would hang every man without "protection pap ers." He said that "the whole duty" of his regiment (the fifteenth) would be "to kill rebels," and" closed with the following atrocious boast: "We carry the flag, kill with the sabre and hang with the gallows." These are the kind of villains' that will rnle us if we fail to gain our independence, Tue first Kiss. Some people describe in elegant verse the sensations produced by the first kiss they received, but Sut Lovengood describes his affair in the following plain style: "She put wun rm round my neck and tuthcr wun whar the curcingle goes round a hoss, tuck tho inturn on me with her left foot, aud giu me a kiss !

The Leaven worth (Kansas) Time says the Illinois farmers went extensively into cotton planting this year. Many thousand acres were plautcd, and many in sisted that this year would demonstrate the practi cability of raising cotton in the Free. States.
