Attempted Suicide. —On Sunday tbo 3d
inst. arecruitat Carlisle Barracks.being tired
of thcoaresand troublesof tluswoild, thought
ho would try his fortunes in another, by a
change of base. Ho hails from Wrilfiamsport,
'Pa. and libi on the dnv previous received his
bounty and sent lt u .o his family residing in
the above place. Before attempting to take
life with hlsoV’n hands hetried to induce one
of the guard tb>3hoob him, which the latter
of courfir. refused to do. Ho then procured'
a large knife, with which lie cue his throat in
two places, and wouldhavc'accomplishcd his
-purpose had not some of his companions
came to the rescue. He was taken to the
hospital where his wounds were dressed by
the post surgeon. At last accounts ho was
doing well, and out of all danger. We won
der if he will try it again. We think past
experience should teach him to be.wiser in*
the future.
Wo are indebted to Mr. T. Wittte,
the gentlemanly manager of the Union Min
strels, for a complimentary ticket to their en
tertainment in Rhccm’s Hull on last Satur
day evening. Wo failed to bo present on the
occasion, but learn from those who were that
the performance gave groat satisfaction, and
would have done credit to Sanford or Christy.'
This company is composed of eight young
men from this town, who have effected a per
manent organization,and styled themselves by
the above name. They have been performing
in-some of the smaller towns of the county
for some time past, thereby improving their
time. Last Siturday night was theirfirst ap
pearance before the citizens of Carlisle.—
Notwithstanding the inclement weather, we
understand the hall was tolerably well filled.
Wo wish them abundance of success in the
future.
Distressing Accident.—Or» Thursday the
Slat ult., Martha B. Sellers, daughter of
Mr. Samuel Sellers, residing in Penn town
ship, met with a serious ami fatal accident.
In company with several other children, she
had been spending the day at a neighbors
house. On their return homo in the after
noon they stopped at a hay-slack to piny.—
They ascended to the top of the stack, from
which, unfortunately, M urniA was pushed off
by one of her companions. Her spine vas se
verely injured by the fall, from the effect of
vhich she died on the following Monday.—
She was an interesting child of about ten
summers, and her untimely death has cast a
.gloom over the whole neighborhood. Her
parentu have our sympathies in this, their
sad bcreavment.
A'Commendable Act —A Raid onihe Buck •
sicrs. —We learn that Major Hastings, the
comnmmlor of Carlisle Barracks, has recent
ly issued a stringent order relating to the
numerous hucksters who visit the volunteer
camps to trade and traffic ■with the soldiers.
These individuals can bo seen every day,
with baskets, hand-carts, and even wagons,
•loaded down with cakes, pies, apples, chick
ens, butter, eggs, &c.. wending their way to
the camps, where they dispose of their luxu
rios at the most fabulous prices, and thereby
securing an immense protit. Wo understand
that three times the cost pried is paid by the
soldiers for these articles, and thus the huge
bounty which, is paid to the recruits is gob
bled'Up by these “shinnors” before they are
aware of it. But we are glad to learn that this
state of things will bo tolerated no longer. Maj
Hastings seems determined that the soldier
shall not bo imposed upon hereafter by those
ambitious hucksters. lie has set the prices
for them, and instructed the men to confis
cate their property and send them -out of
camp if they should disobey his order. This
is right. It is tho duty of every command:,,
to protect his men from the impositions prac
'ticcd by this class of persons. We charge to
them the cau.se of our prasont high market
..prices. They will n'ot hesitate to pay the
farmer 30 cents <for a dozen of eggs, while
they are allowed to sell them-to soldiers for
•5 cents a-picce ; they will not hesitate to pay
one dollar for a pair of chickens, when they
can double the price in reselling them.—
These are tho prices which they have exact
ed from tho soldiers, and which compelled
Major Hastings to put his foot on them at
once. It is true that some of these persons
firigf god in this business are obliged to do so
for a living. We have no objection to that,
as long as they cro reasonable in their de
mands. They chofcM boar in mind that
the old adage of “ quids sales and small
profits” is both honorable and just. -They
should recollect that tho hard-carningo
of the soldier are needed by his wife and lit
tle ones at home, who perhaps are suffering
for tho want of this money which they are
endeavoring to snatch from him. Since the
promulgation of this order our market prices
have ton led sightly downwards. Eggs that
brought 30 cents a ds-zen three weeks ago,
can now bo bad fur 18 on.i 20 cents; butte*,
and chickens arc also a nwU Icvrpr Thus it
can ho plainly seen that these 11 sharks”
were the cau.-su u( the rise in market prices.

LITTLE MEN CANNOT CONDUCT GREAT AF
FAIRS.
It is tho common but false boast of tbo Ab
olitionists that tho slaves of thb South nro
our allies and (ilends, and honce limy nrguo
that these negroes, should bo
placed on an equality with'the whiles. This
was SuMSEir’s argument when ho
his Bill permittinr negroes to ride in tho
same cars with white ladies,emd gentlemen ;
it was tho infamous Jim Lane’s argument
when ho spoko in favor of the proposition to
admit negro boys to outer the Military Acad
emy at West Point; it was.WiMON’s e.rgQ
ment when ho asked that the negro "contra
bands should bo schooled at tho expense of
tho Government; it was Hale’s argument
when-ho insisted that all American e.itizens
of African should have tho right to vote.
Because the negroes of tho South (four mil
lions in number,) are our allies and friends,
and not tho part of spies and informers,
should, in tho opinion of tho Administration
and its loading friends, entitle those negroes
to all tho privileges enjoyed by tho whites.
In making this argument tho Abolitionists
furnish additional evidence of tho weakness 1
rnd imbecility of tho wretched bunglers now ]
in power. Tbo populatin'-, of the North is
treble that of tho South ; bur lighting popu
lation is four limes greater than tho South;
wo have a navy, the rebels nono; wo have
credit, tho rebels mine ; we have mills, looms
and manufactures, the rebels few, if any ; in
fine, wo have a thousand times tho. strength
of tlio rebels in everything pertaining to war.
And, in addition to all our natural advanta
ges, life Abolitionists now tell us that we
‘K’.VCJi.
have four millions of colored spies in' the
South, who 44 are our true friends, ** and
who, to use the words of the fanatic, Gar
fie-’.d of Ohio, “have rendered us important
assistance in every battle,* 1 And yet, with
all these advantages on our side, the war
goes on, on, on. Wo have now entered upon
the fourth year of this desolating and bloody
contest; a million of men'sloop in gory
graves; the Rachaels of the land weep for
the lost ones; thousands of fathoidosschildrou
'are thrown upon the world, with none to
minister to their daily wants; mid a nation
al debt is already upon ua such as no coun
try on the face of the earth ever experienced,
and which is calculated to grind the people
to the dust. Now, why is it that the rebel
lion has not long ainco been brought to a
Why is it, that with all the advan
tages we possess, we have not been able to
crush themiiscreants who dared to strike the
old flag? A child can answer the questions.
It is because of the weakness of those in pow
er. Mr. Lincoln and his fanatical friends
have forgotten the country in their anxiety
for the African. They have neglected their
duties to dabble in politics ; nay, it is more
than suspected that they feel no desire to sec
a reconciliation and a whole Union? Isy the
war they make political capital, and by the
power of the purse and the sword, they hope
to overawe the white freemen of the North,
; and continue themselves in power. Bui, let
them beware. Wo cannot believe that the
people of the North are ready to become the
serfs of the low, ignorant fanatics who, most
unfortunately for our country, are now in
power. No! the honest men of our country
cannot afford to have this blpody war go on
merely for the amusement of Abolition ras
cals who are becoming rich at the public ex
pense. 44 They who sow the storm shall reap
the whirlwind,** and those who attempt to
act cbe tyrant and distress the people, will
finally find their level. A change of rulers
is demanded by the country, and until this
is effected we must continue to live in dark
ness and sorrow.
Removal of the Seat of Government*—•
The Bill providing for the removal of the
State Capital from Harrisburg to Philadel
phia, passed the Senate a few days since by
a decided majority, Mr. Bccher of this coun
ty, very properly voting against it. -It is be-.,
Heved by many Ihrit it will also pass the
House, and then it will only require, the sig
nature of the Governor *to become "a law.—
We would bo sorry to see the seat of Govern
ment removed, hut yet it must bo confessed
that tho members of Assembly havo some
cause to bo dissatisfied with Harrisburg.—
The accommodations at tho hotels, are very
ordinary, and the charges very extraordinary „
The fact is. tho members and .those having
business at the seat of Government have been
imposed upon, and landlords and others have
made fortunes in two or three years. . More
than this, there is a paper .published in that
town called the Telegraph , which delights in
making daily personal assaults upon mem
bers. All tho Democratic Senators and mem
bers of the House have been stigmatize! as
“ traitors” and “ copperheads’* by that pis
tiferous sheet, until they feel restless to es
cape from a town that gives conntenanco and
support to the slanderer. If tho neat of
Government is removed—which we would bo
very sorry to soo—tho people of Harrisburg
may thank the Telegraph and those who havo
been in the habit of imposing upon members
for it.
Death ■ or Mrs. Clay.—Mrs. Lucretia
Clay, widow of Henry Clay, died at Lex
ington bn the 6th inst., aged 83. She was a
plain but very sensible lady, and up to the
day of her death her mind was clear as over.
She was warmly attached to the Smith, and
espoused the cause-cf.the rebellion on all oc
casions. A few weeks ago she said that if
her “ illustrious husband could rise from his
grave he would be a rebel, for ho abhorred
Abolitionists, and had frequently predicted
that if that faction or party ever obtained
power they would ruin the country and dis
solve the Union.” So soys tho Lexington
Inquirer. •
flSs?* A letter from Now York states that a
speculative movement is on foot in that mar
ket to buy oil t io cld teas there, and that al
ready $2,000,000 fturth has been “ gobbled''
up; The writer adds : “ A similar combina
tion has been effected to huygp all the coffee,
and that, too, will probably be successful.—
Tiie speculators will thus have ifcin tbeirpow
or to impose such prices as they choose tipen
tho consumer* of the necessaries,”

Lincoln lim no Influence with llie Admin-
Uirallon.
A while ago, on individual called on Pres
ident Lincoln and solicited his influence in
reference to a matter before the War Depart
ment. ’ The President replied •* Sir, X am not
pig-tracks up there at the war office. I can
do nothing for you." Fotinev’s Press now
tells what it oalls'a good joke, at the expense
of Judge Baldwin, Ex-Judge of the Supreme
Court of California. It seems the Judge came
East with the intention of paying a visit to
his father, who lives somewhere in Virginia,
and it being none ssary toobtain apassSouth
ho called oh llalleck. Halleck refused.—
Next ho called on Stanton, and Stanton re-
fused. Nothing daunted* ho concluded to call !
on tho Commander in Chief, so he inado his
appearance at tho White House and made
known his business to tho President. Uncle
Ade received him very cordially, but to his
request for a pass, replied, by saying that ho |
(Lincoln) “had not a bit of influence with;
tho Administration,” This is told as “t» I
good juke,” Wp think: it partakes too muck
of the character of truth to bo termed a joke.
Viewed in the light of past events, it is aie
rious question whether Mr. Lincoln bV.s
1 much influence with this Administration.~
Ile started out with tho declaration that the
war should be waged solely for the purpose
of restoring tho Union. He said ho had no
power to interfere with tho domestic institu-1
thins cf tho South, and no desire to do so.—
however, rofuoed to fight
er contribute fur carrying on die war unless
its main object was tho destination of slavery.
The President yielded, took back what he
hud sn'd. and converted it into an Abo
lition war. Again, when urged to issue a
proclamation abolishing slavery, ho said it
would bo an act of folly, and likened it tothe
Pope’s bull to the comet. But tho gang of.
Abolition priests from Chicago had more in
fluence with the Administration than Lincoln,
ho wilted before the imperious demands of
the Radicals, and Hie proclamation wont forth.
Lincoln commenced by ignoring’ party to a
certain extent: by calling into tho military
service many men of opposite political opin
ions. The radicals raised a howl at this and de
manded thatoveryoffioor whodid not heartily
indorso-tho emancipation proclamation should
be stripped of his epaulettes. Lincoln weak
ened again ; the Retiring Board was put at
work, and every officer who was suspicionod
vi Democracy was turned out of tho service.
Lincoln h-wcivfc.-anil.pcwerloss in everything
except whore Ho thunders fortl-. 'a
tion -at tho dictation of a powerful, organized
band of Abolition usurpers. Ilia will is made
in all cases to bend to their will. When the
inside, secret history of -the past three years
is written, it will probably be apparent enough
that when Lincoln said to Judge Baldwin
that f he had no influence with this Adminis
tration. he uttered a truth'rather than a joke.
It is stiango that the Judge could not get a
pass to go South, though wo think he betrayed
■a want of judgement in calling at headquar
ters. He might liaVe done better with Secre
tary Stanton's pass -broker, in Wall street.
Fifty dollars has bought many a pass to rob
eldom. A lino of steamers runs from New
York to Nowbern, North Carolina, for their
accommodation. At all events, it is apparent
that tho President is not “pig tracks” in the
matter of passes.
The Democracy and the Soldiers.—Every
Democratic editor in tho land feels the force
and truth of the following, from the Harris-
burg • Union;
’ .TlcAUduon faction, with a cunning and
• hatred beyond all precedent, arc busily at
work inflaming the minds of the soldiers with
the idea that their Democratic fellow-citizens
at home are their natural enemies. That dis
order and bloodshed should result from such
teachings, is an inevitable consequence. Tho
trouble is that these calamities fall chiefly
upon tho heads of the misguided and deceived
•nddicrß, or upon the Democratic citizens.—
The bad men who cause this ill feeling be
tween tho army and civilians, take very good
care to keep themselves scrupulously out of
harm’s way. They rojoicu in stirring up
bloody feuds, but they havo an undue share
of that self saving discretion which is said to
bo “ the better part of valor.”
If Democratic journals were allowed ample
and free circulation in tho armv, tho ill
judged prejudices Which are dxcited by Abo
lition malevolence would he destroyed. As
it-is, the soldiers are getting daily a better
insight into the fiendish (character of the fa
natics who nTo striving to provoke their ill
will towards their brother* and fathers -and
friends at homo. In time they will turn their
just wrath upon tho men who have deceived
them,'and the story of Actjoon will receive
fresh illustration.
Can we Stand it.—The following penetra
ting truths wo mean to keep standing under
our editorial head for people to read and .pan
der every day ;
The Americans, at the close of this war
will ho tho most indebted people, nationally,
and tho dearest governed also on tho fade of
the earth.
“ Great Britain hitherto has held that unen
viable distinction. Alas, tho honor, is now
ours. Englishmen pay yearly thirteen dol
lars and threo^quartor*-.per head for being
governed. Swiss ton dc.liars and three-quar
ters. Frenchmen a little over ten dollars.—
Hollanders twelve dollars and a quarter.
“The,debt of England divided up among
tho entire, people, men, women and children,.
shows a lien ofsl4S upon each individual.
Franco shows §65 per head of her population.
• Russia §22 per head. Switzerland nothing ;
she lias no debt. What do we show ? In
1865 we shall owc $4,000,000.000,0r $2OO for
each man. woman-and-child in tho North :
and to eiippoit our government for tho future,
every man, women~and child will bo taxed

SORGHUM, OK CHINESE SUGAR CANE,
ITS CLAIMS, CULTURE, &C., &C.
Aa awcetnings have xo&obod very high pri
ces, there is justly-and growing
interest exhibited on. the question, of enno
planting, as well as the questions yfill it pay,
and how is it to be managed in cultivation ?
As I have been engaged in its culture and
manufacture for some live years, I concluded
to offer my mito cf experience tor the benefit
of those who have not yet given it a trial, pro
viding you mayjMinsidecAt of sufficient im
portance to give room in your paper.
The question will it pay, is plain to all who
have given it a fair trial, and at present pri
ces of syrup I would say, it will pay bettor
than corn, improperly treated. But lot us
give facta from which all can draw their own
conclusions, tike corn, this crop isgovernod
by soil, season and culture, with the advan
tage of standing more drought. First, be
cause it mots deeper, and second,because its
6tojk only is needed, whereas a drought just
at earing lime for corn, will cut off the crop,
vhilc in cane it only retards growth, and as
soon as favorable weather "sots in,’ it is ready
to grow on. As to yield, land capable of
yielding’from forty to seventy fityj bushels of
corn, will yield, 'properly treated , from ono to
two hundred gallons of syrup per acre, and
tlmffwO'of a quality equal to the best syr
ups to the market, if the cane is well matur
ed find-worked up on good aparatus by expe
rienced hands. It will also, as the past sea
son has proven, sell at ns high prices as the
1 best syrups offered by grocers. We may at
least say one and a half gallonasyriip for eve
ry bushel of corn; which is a very low esti
mate; Then allow the proper treatment of
cane to cost five dollnrs.per aero more than
corn, and at the present high prices for wood
labor,-and the best machinery, allow nay twen
ty-five cents.per gallon.for manufacturing.—
Next considel the stripping which the leaves
will pay as fuddor, iiauling to factory, allow
ing a good lean able to haul (if cane is well
matured and properly loaded) enough to make
from twenty-live to thirty, or more gallons of
syrup. The scol of ripened cano’ia also worth
as much or mo;e than oats to bo Used aa a
chopped food, ani will yield from twenty-five
to thirtv-five bushels pCr acre ; you are then
done with the cane. Now count your cutting,
shocking, husking, cribbing, threshing.cloan
ing'and hauling lo market on the corn side,
and you are able to make a fair estimate of
the profits of bosh crops, when you consider
good syrup wo*lh 80 cents to §1 per gallon
with every indication of a strong advance.—
It must also ba considered, that this syrup
answers very veil fur .all baking purposes,
thereby saving greatly in sugar, which is ev
er at a greater tdvanco than syrup. Ido not
thus advance tie cane question to create an
ungarded sensation, bnt feel well assured that
ho who plants,his aero or two of cane, and
attends to it properly, will nqt regret the ex
periment, and ho can thereafter bo his own
judge in the "matter without being governed
by the opinions of others. We will next cAn
eider its culture, and name as.of first impor-

ground can bo brought into good condition. -
Soaking the seed in water so warm ns
scarcely to bear the hand in it, for say fifteen
to twenty hours, will quicken its coming up.,
.And if nqt phintoijj early, the seed thus soak
ed, should bo mixol with a small quantity of
light soil, and set lo a warm (not hut) place,
occasionally shook up, and so kept until it
commences to sprout; then plant as hereaf
ter directed, covering with moist mellow soil,
to avoid injury to the ‘ germ started by the
soakin, The soil should bo deeply work
ed, thoroughly pulverized, and furrowed out
modorateldocp with furrows say 3$ feet apart.
Draw s ol for hill .into the* furrow so as to fill
up half the depth, level off and drop to fifteen
seeds on each hill, cover from } to j inch deep
according to dampness of soil.
Plant hills two loetapar*, and should heavy
rains cause a crusl toibrm 100 strong lor the
cane to break through, a close toothed rake
can be used to goud advantage iu loosening
the crust.and helping it up.
In the- start is the point to gain time for
early maturity, but as it conies up feeble,
those not familiar with its habits get discour
sed, neglect it, and only regret their error
when they see its rapid progress when’once
well rooted. If from any cause some hills
should not have enough, tiio surplus of other
hills can be safely transplanted in damp clou
dy weather, or some of the suckers bo allow
ed to remain to fill (he hill. The first dress
ing should bo done with the boo and hands
along the row removing.all grass and weeds,
drawing some fresh soil into it, and leaving
from five'to seven of the best stocks stand, ac-.
cording to the fertility of the soil. After this
it can he worked as corn, and if the hills are
well sot with stock.it will not sucker so free
ly. -When the soakers do appear, and are say
live to si-xjnehes high, *t!my-should bo cut.or
?erked off. ’ Then the cultivator and hoe free
ly used, hviiig it lip to 'harvesting, except an
occasional looking after the suckers.
Harvesting, &c. As soon as the seeds turn
black, or are changing.from the milk to har
dening, it is fit to cut, next comes stripping
which is generally thimgt quickest done while
standing. Bat if strong indications of a se
vere frost appear, strip, cut doWn and haul to
barn or other shelter, for it is better cub be
fore fully ripe, than to let frost "penetrate
tjio *tock. A light Irost which will only
slightly sca’d the leaves, will not injure
it; but wherever the cells of the stock
are once frozen, it has received a serious
injury, if not soiled. When .stripped, cut
off at the'ground, and at, or about the sec
ond joint (Vom the seed bead. Bind up in
bundles convenient to handle with a good

Situation, &c. This would have been in
place in the forepart of the article, but was
omitted. Any situation which will mature
corn in good season, may ho expected to ans
wer for cane, yet the most advisiblo position
is such as will urge early maturity, with no
, excess ot wet. Land freshly manured is ob
jected to by many, yet the morn fertile the
soil, if not freshly manured, the bettor.—
Lime and planter -are both, considered as good
applications for-cano.
Never plant close to broom -corn.
But as I havo-in anlmperfect way endeav
ored to answer at least part of the many ques
tions asked, t will-oloso.
Tho subscriber would also state that he
will lurniah seed free of charge, to all who
wish to plant, and hare it manufactured on,
his aparatus- ‘ Persona receiving seed on
these conditions are requested to leave a re
port with distributer of the seed, how much
they intend planting, about tho first to mid
dle of August next, report without
fail, to the subscriber, stating the condition
and extent of tho crop. -This is important to
all, and is absolutely necetfnary to give him
tho required Information to prepare fully for
the work to he-duno, is limited to a certain
period. Ho has already expended a heavy
amount in cxporimciiting and perfecting his
arrangements to ido work rapidly and well,
so that from the expuicnco of funner seasons,
with still further expenditure, he can work
up u groat quantity of cane in good season, if
ho is timely informed of what ho may Imvo to
do. This explains why all who wish him to
manufacture their syrup should report time
ly, and feels before leavingljff ,to repeat ngaii\
do not fail to report condition and quantity
of crop by Ist to middle of August. '
A word of encouragement to. .planters.—
The subscriber wpVked up the cane of fifty
four customers last season, and both the crop
and quality of syrup rendered satisfaction to
fifty-three of the number, all being good syr
up, This docs not include a lot of frozen
and spoiled canp, which, by an error in the
advisers of the producer was-lett until quite
out of season.
The seed is put up in parcels sufficient to
plant half an acre, ns a loss quantity than
that cannot bo worked to advantage on ex
tensive aparatus. Where persons desire to
plant more, they can take parcels sufficient
to do them. . . * . .

A Blessed Day.— What a blessed day Is
Sunday to a man who necessarily catches but
brief glimpses .of home during the toiling
week ; who is off in the morning while little
eyes are closed in slumber, nor hack at night
till they are again sealed in sleep. What
would he know of the very children for whom
ho toils were it not for the blessed breathing
•respite of Sunday. What honest working
man’s child will ever forget this, when, clean
and neat, it is hia privilege to climb papa's
knee, and hang about hia neck, and tell him
all the news that goes to make up bis narrow
little world. “Narrow." did we say ? We
recall the word ; for it widens out into the
ocean of eternity. Sunday for the working
man’s children ! So wo would have it—a day
hallowed by sweet, pure, homo influences,
when the little hand, quite complete, shall
