It was accompanied and supported by two or three thousand dismount ed men and artilleijy. , J I The enemy's force crossed in one place, it la (said, at'a ford prepared by them for the occasion. They thus eluded our pickets, got in their rear and captured them, and pressed on rapidly to; oiir camps. This was at an early hour in the morn ing.

They gained so much ground as to capture Gen.j Stu art's headquarters, near Brandy also, Brandy Statiou, and, we'understand, some stores tjberti.

They should be proportioned in size and number te the size of the crop; say onfe for twenty acre two or three for fifty acre?, and five or six for one hundred acres, more-or lees. As rhanji as five or six can be put in one ba tery, and operated by one furnace, rainning under all. The capacity of the boilers can be greatly increas ed by iasteDing a wooden rim eight br ten inches high aroaud thir, tops. The brick wortc of 4he! furnace should not' reach higher on the inside than' midway of the bgilers, otherwise the syrup will De burnt by the fire. ! The canei should net be cut until ripe, .which' may bo known by the sed becoming pf a purlish; black, and the sulks streaked with reg oo a. yellowish ground. It is well to know and reJ ttnllnrt that the r- infj if left standing on the land where they' grow, with all thojr leaves or fodder" on them, will keep good until the. erop is manj ufactured, ff you will barely cut off all the ripe seed. Jf yeu pull th4 twnr the cane wm ory up, it beinz'tha mouth and lungs of the plants. Thk Gathering of the Casks. pull the fodder as vou do corn folder, each day as yoii grind your cane. Cut the stelks close to the ground with sharp hoes, and haul them to the mill with the seed on, with a small crop, out cut seed off in the flald if a large me, dry the panicles in the sun one day and house. The seed will equal or exceed corn on the same land, and containing by chemical analysis 66 per cejit. of starch, is about two-thirds the value of corn or rye for feeding stock, or "horreseo rtfereun, for making wnis- kev. and will command one dollar per oushel in j , , the market. The juice as pressed out by the mill should run through cloths fastened over the receiving tubs to .clear it of all trash. To Clarify the Juice. Put the juice in the largest boiler, nearly filling it, and start a gentle fire under it, and put the juice to simmering not boiling and keep it so ror aooui iniriy minutes. until clarifiei. This is to bo enected Dy aaminis tering some alkali in solution. ' . ' j The best alkali for this purpose is the super carbonate of soda. Put one heaping teaspponful in a pint of wator, dissolve it, and pour it into the boiler of simmering juice, stir it up, anda violent effervescence takes place, rising four inches high ; and finally settling: in a thick greenish scum all over the surface of the juice. Skim this off, and reoeat the Drocess every few minutes, for -about thirtv minutes. mre or less : but stop it as soon as, but not before, all effervescence ceases The'Drocess will neutralize the sulphuric and nhosnhoric acids which abound in th Chinese sugar cane juice ; and the super carb. of soda is the purest and best alkali for this purpose, as sodium, the base of the peroxyd, is lighter than water. The pressure of the mill forces out with the. juice a great deal of green feculous matter, which the aiKBii laKes noia oi dy iud nurnciiuu ui lujuiup, and brines to the surface as scum. These con stant skimmings will soon give you a clear juice. capable of making a clear, thick, acidiess syrap, This use of soda I discovered in 1857 by experi menting, and experience has fully confirmed its sunerioritv o-rerfl other alkalies. The Louisiana and West Indian sugar planters use lime to purify the juice. It will neutralize the acids, but I doubt its purifying, agency. The lime will readily unite with and neutralize the phosphoric and sulphuric acids, but are not com rounds, the sulphate of lime, or plaster of Palls beine one, too heavy to elevate tne green, woody matter to the surface? I think so, and for this reason, unless you wish to eat piaster of Paris, io mechanical solutiou in youcsyrup, do not use lime in your cane juice. I am foBtifled in these views, against the use ot lime to clarify and purify syrup, by Dr. Robert Battey, one of the ablest practical agricultural chemists in Georgia. He says deliberately "Lime answers no useful purpose so far as strup .is con cerned, save to neutralize the free acid which ex ista naturally in the cane. Lime darkens the color, and, to my taste, detracts- from the gratefu flavor of the syrup." I .regret fbat Dr. Battey did not go farther and give the reason why lime does not clarify. I have already suggested the specific gravity, as a base ; as being too heavy, as the reason If soda cannot be had, have ready stroost lye from green hickory ashes. This alkaline solution is the next best to that of soda, and apply it inlhe same way. After the juice is. both neutralized of its free acids and purified of its fecula, which may be seen and known by the cessation of effervescence and the transparency of the juice,, then boil down to tne syrup point. In the absence of instruments, which cannot now be bad, be sure you boil enough. It is saier to err by boiling too much than not enough. As a general guide, you have to to by eye sight, and as but a few in the South ever paid any attention to it heretofore, I will give certain general rules which should be observed. l. 15 ou down until the syrup is about one- fifth of the original 4uantity of juice, for it is true that five gallons of juice will average one gallon el syrup 2. Boil down until the syrup, beingeduced to about one fitta of its original quantity, will hang in flakes on the rim of the dipper as you pour it out and suspend it in the air. 3. Boil down until all wafer isxpelled. Thii may b3seen and known when the syrup, being re duced to aboutone fifth its original juice, throws up jets some six inches high; this latter is the wa ter escaping as steam; continue to boil until these jets cease; then strike off your syrup into tubs,and. when cool barrel it. The Barrels. rut up your syrup in cypress barrels; white oak barrels will not hold syrup. Severak large planter put up their syrup In pop lar troughs These will hold the syrup, but the oxygen of the atmostphere will certainly, as it has done, acidify it, as it thus has so much surface to act on. f.. In conclusion, the Chinese sugar, millet is an industral plant of great utility to the South in theseour times of trial, blockade and war.' Its fodder is equal to that of corn, and its seed is equal to two-thirds of corn, and its syrup nearly equal to that of sugar house molawes, yielding as many gallons of syrup per acre as the land can pecks of corn. .

N' Importe, a correspondent of the Savannah Republican, says; ' There is a mooted question now concerning the rank of the highest grade of Confederate officers. An item which recently went the rou'n is of the ptesa, giving the'eonflrmation of full (Jen erals, failed to give that of Qen, Braxton Brag;'. From this many supposed that the Senate ha ! failed to con firm him. Thi is an'error. lie wa? ap pointed-the day of the battle of tihihh, and con firmed at once, being the first full General con firmed by the Permanent. Government. Generals Cooper, L.ee, Johnston, Beauregard, &c, were first appointed and confirmed by the Provisional Government, and were consequently obliged to be appointcd and confirmed by the Permanent Government afterwards, and therefore their appointments were made after Bragg's, giv ing the latter the seniority, as is now claimed, making him the ranking General of the service. The question has not been raised until recently, though it is said the President .discovered 'the singular discrepancy some time ago, and kept it quiet for prudential reasons; yet, since investiga tion of the matter, it is believed in official circles that he maintains that Bragg is the senior officer. In the meantime, things go on as usual, each officer acting as heretofore, according to his sup posed rank, and General Bragg patriotically re fusing to claim his ondoubtod privileges, and (or the benefit of the service continuing to com mand the army which he has so well organized, disciplined and oontrolled. MORE NEGRO REGIMENTS. The New York Herald, referring to the raising of negro regiments, says : "We are glad to perceive that Governor Todd, of Ohio, and Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts, and other individuals are exerting themselves to raise negro troops, to fill the places of the white men who are now returning home frem the South, after two years bard fighting. The universal freedom of the negro race is declared by the rad icals to be the main object of the war. It is but meet and right that the free negroes should lend a band in such a work. The blood of white men has been shed very copiously in the cause bf the negroes. Let the negroes now bleed a little, if only for sake of variety. It is very hard to catch tbem, but let them be brought speedily under the constraint of the conscription act, and wo shall soon have an- ebony army to march Southward. We (hall thus get rid of the blacks, and their places will be well supplied by the sturdy and; more intelligent laborer of bealthy Irish and Uf'rman emigrants who will become good citizens in five years. We have no need'of negroes at the North Let the whole race be sent South, 'and let some thousandrof mean whitesof the stihip of Theodore inion go witn tnem to tase command of these fellows who will not fight, they will do. well enough to run away ; but we hope they V?ill be .caught by the enemy, and never exchanged-.
