The Military Comniittee's Bill Concern ing Slaves. Mr. Frank Blair's tax collection bill makes the t ax es uncollected in rebel States a lien on all the lands in the States if not paid] within sixty days after the President's proclamation.. The title to these lands is to vest absolutely in the United States.. LOyal citizens can obtain reeenveyance within two years. Property of every description belonging to per sons in the rebel States, who refuse to make written statements of their income, is to be forfeited to the Government. - Three commissioners shall be , appointed with salaries of $3,090 a year each, with two olerks each at $l,OOO a year, whose business it shall bo to lease the land of rebels till the close of -the re bellion, upon terms that will take care of the slaves, and, under the President's direction, to sell the same at public auction. From the passage of this act all transfers of property by rebels or their abettors are null end void. Slaves seeking refuge in our camps, or captured by us, Ebel' be forever free. The commissioners can also free them upon a claim to have the benefits of this ad. Emancipated slaves grata be under the authority of the commissioners, who may assign them to mili tary or agricultural labor, for wages. The commis sioners are required, moreover, to apprentice the liberated slaves to loyal proprietors of land and to mechanics, for terms not exceeding five years, when over twenty-one years old ; when under, for tierms expiring with their majority. The President is authorised to acquire lands in Mexico, Central America, South America, or the Gulf Islands, and to - colonise all the liberated slaves, with forty acres to each man, and eighty sore 4 to each bead of a family. The expense of their removal to ba deducted from their earnings while apprenticed, or working for the Government, The bill obliges the Government to colonize in the same way slaves that State Legislatures may liberate, and also to rend, at public expense, such free negroes as may want to go to Otis colored country. One hundred thousand dollars are appropriated to carry the act into effect. . nealth of General Sumner. It is very graliying to the friends of General Sumner to learn that he has very mush improved since his removal to Washington and expects soon to again lake command of his division. It is hoped that the grand army will soon be divided into corps d'armie, under major generals. In this 'ease, General Sumner would be one of the first to re ceive a command of this kind. He ranks next to General McClellan in the army of the Potomac, and has the full confidence of all that know him. His course in the important command of the 'Pacific was particularly wise and discreet. With a corn mander.in.ohlef in whom all the army and the people have entire confidence, and general officers as faithful and experienced as Gon. Sumner, no apprehension need be felt for the results. Legal 'Tender Treasury Notes Theneoessity for making $150,000,000 of treasury notes a legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private presses lapels the Government. Tho exercise of its highest prerogative must be brought into requisition to save the war and save the Its public. The wise and equitable scheme prepared carefully by the committee has been pronounced constitutional by two very painstaking members of it—Thaddene Stevens and Mr. Spauldin4; and the Attorney General has, in a written opinion, pro nounced it to be lawful. Of its necessity there eon be no question. The Pirate Sumpter We have intelligence, from various sources, of the pirate Sumpter. Capt. Allen, of the schooner Roles, which arrived at New York on Sa turday from Nevis, reports that the privateer steamer Sumpter was off Antigua Deo. 6, but the Governor would not allow her to enter the harbor. The State Department has information that the Sumpter was in the harbor of St. Pierre, Marti nique, on the 22(1 of December, and the United States steamer Iroquois, which had followed her up, wee one league off the harbor, waiting for her again to come out. The Iroquois and the Sheplurd Knapp sailed from Curacoa in company on the Mkt ult. Changes in the Regular Army Lust.

Rerfolk and its Defences—Location and Description of the Rebel Batteries Number and Calibre of the Ginn—The Elizabeth River and its Obstructions. The city of Norfolk is situated on the right bank of the Elisabeth river, just below the confluence of its two branohes, eight miles above (south of) Hamp- ton Roads and thirty-two miles from the ocean. Richmond, the seat of the rebel government, is one hundred and fifty miles west of Norfolk, and eon.; netted by means of a railroad. The position of Nor folk is lat. 38 deg. 50 min. N., long. 78 deg. 18 min. W. It has a court hotute, jaU, market, custom house, a marine hospital, a. theatre, three banks, and eight churches. Formerly there wero four newspapers published there, but at the present time only one ekes out a miserable existence. The Dis mal- Swamp Canal connects the Chetapeake Bay with Albemarle Sound, and opens an extensive water communication from Norfolk to the South. Portsmouth is a port of entry with Norfolk, and is situated on the west side of Elisabeth river. It is one of the finest harbors in the United States. Ships of the largest class come to its wharves. The United States navy yard, dry dook, and marine hospital, are located at Gosport, a suburb of Portsmouth. The naval dry dock is built of hewn granite, and cost $974,536. The population of the three places above is about 22,000. At the time the navy yard was destroyed' by fire the following ships were there and were more or less injured Ers • When Ships of the tine.

From time to time rumors have been circulated in reference to the invulnerability of the craft in question. Not long since the reliable gentleman saw her off Fortress' Mon, roe on a trial nip, and the last accounts state she is in the dry-dook, and it is doubtful whether she Oen be Boated out. In relation tosersele, the loss of them at this point did not give to the rebels any great advantage in Point of offensive powers, but the loin of the yard gage them a major portion of the heavy ordnance now in use in their batteries. They obtained over two .thousand guns here, a large portion of which were the latest patterns of navel shell guns, varying in calibre from eight to eleven inches. These have been sent by railroad far and near, over the rebel territory, leaving, however, a large number la the vielnity, for home protection. Large quantities of ordnance stores also fell into their, heads, and theta have been distributed, and the , faollities for mann facturingathers have been in constant use, so that now they base a large stock on hand. • Since the outbreak of the rebellion they have not been - idle in throwing np batteries, some of which are of the best ebaraeter, as the very beet engi neering talent-bus bees.. employed in their con. atntatkin: - that works which entrd the entrance' to the Stribith Aver end the' approtehei to Norfolk, are Petnti a bluff on the east side of Hamp ton Heads, and about three miles from the southern face.,of the - walls of Fortress Monroe, Fort bean, situated 'on .the Rip Row, is less than two and a hairmi4e front the batteries, and the Sawyer - there has often thrown Its 'deadly missiles witkinthe works of the rebels. . _ • Seweti'e Point: tilewelPs Point is • bluff Iyhiotr juts put into the rem!, haring for its northern water-front Willough by's bay, and the waters of the Elisabeth river and KaNntolfßoltds on its west, so that the land is nearly - right angular in shape. The land is not Tory high at the point, and is covered with dense woods. The water is quite shoal along its shores. ,On the Elizabeth river side, at a quarter of a mile off shore, only fifteen feet is found, while on the northern side a spit extends out to within three quarters of a mile of the Rip Raps. The centre of the ship ohannel is within threo•quarters of a mile of the batteries at the nearest point, and all vessels will have to pees within easy range of their guns for about four miles. There aro six batteries at Sewell's Point, most of them built in a very substantial manner, and mounting from two to nine guns. On approaching the batteries they appear in a line, but when abreast it will be found that some of them are planed in the rear of the main line, but for what purpose is only known to the projectors of the plans. In giving a description of these works we shall designate them by numbers : BATTERY No. I.—This work is built of 8811 , 1 thrown up against logs driven in the ground. It has two embrasures, which are flanked with heavy timbers, and one 10-inch columbiad mounted era barbette. One email magazine is attached to the work and is_ situated on the right side of the en trance. The two guns in the embrasures are the old-fiabioned navy 42-pounders. BATTERY No. 2 is a fine work ;with embrasures for nine guns, six of which are navy 42• pounders, and the remaining three respectively 8,9, and 10- inch columbiads The embrasures are all flanked with heavy logs, and the work Is sodded. In this work, which is the most formidable among the number, are two magazines and two shell rooms, all under ground, and well protested by bomb proofs. BATTERY No, 3 is a small earthwork, situated to the south of No. 2 about sixty yards, and mounts two 8-inch columbiads en bariwte. This work is about twenty yards in the rear of the first two bat teries, and has a range sweeping at least ono hun drel and sixty degrees. BATTERY No. 4 is a work not unlike the pre ceding one, only its guns are of a smaller calibre, (42.pounderr.) Attempts were made to sod this work, but the lank of materials in that vicinity has prevented them. BATTERY No. 5 is a larger work than either of the two preceding, and mounts three guns—two 42-pounders and one 10-inoh columbiad. This of self is quite a formidable work, and is on a line with Nos. I and 2. A fine magazine and shell-room are attached to the work. BATTERY No. 6, and the last of this chain, is situ ated about four hundred yards to the southward, and mounts two forty-two•pounders, and is intend ed for an outwork to resort to in cows a landing was effected in Willoughby's bay and an attempt made to storm the batteries in the rear. .It is a powerful work, and bears on the ship channel for several miles. On the beach between batteries Nos. 5 and 6 is placed a long thirtrtwo pounder, mounted on a navy carriage. This is used as a signal gun, bat in event of an attack it could be brought into ser• vice. There are now throe rifled cannons at Sew ell's Point, but as they have been moved lately, we are unable to say where they are located • but probably in a masked battery an the roar of the woods. The buildings at Sewell's Point consist of one large hospital, capable of containing from two to five hundred patients, two commissary stores, three barracks, two officers' quarters, and one building for general purposes. small stream emptying itself into Hampton Roads, near battery No. 5, furnishes the best of drinking and washing water, while the waters of the river furnish fish in abundance, and at the right times of the tide five or six boats may be seen daily engaged in leling the seine. There are one or two good farm houses on the Point, and there are some few garden vegetables to be bad of the farmers. About one and a half miles from battery No. 6, and near the month of Tanning creek, is a battery beating the name of "Ball Moon Battery." In the early stages of the war this work mounted six guns, but, in the fall, the guns were removed to Bewall's Point. This winter, guns have been brought down from the rear of Norfolk, and placed in position in thts . work. Most of them aro 42- pounders. Crancy Island is situated on the west side of the entrance to Elizabeth river, and about thirteen miles from Fortress Monroe. 2 1 he roofs of the houses are plainly seen from the fortress,. and its flaunting flag is seen any pleasant day waving over a fine piece of earthwork. The distance between Cranny Island and the Half Moon Battery is only about one and a half miles. The worksiott Craney Island are the most for midable of their character in the Southern States, as their face extends nearly a mile in lexgth. They are built of earth nicely sodded, and on the river face they are out with embrasures for eighteen guns, while the bay face is protected by fourteen heavy 10 and 11•inoh oolumbiads and 68- pounder rifled guns, cast at the Tredegar works, Richmond. The front face is straight, with smell bastions at intervals of about fifty yards, where a rifle gun points out its ugly-looking muzzle. On turning the angle of the works, the enemy is brought to face an irregular but connective lino of fortifications, which, as wo have before stated, is embrasured in the best possible manner with heavy log facings. The calibre of the guns en this side ranges from 32 to 42-pounders, with a few heavy rifle guns interspersed among them. Several of our prominent army engineers have seen the works, and pronounce them without fault; but, notwithstanding their formidable character, they can be taken. There are four magazines attached to themorks, with ample accommodations for the storage and filling of shells. There are. four furnaces for heating shot, with several smaller portable ones for the same purpose. There are several fine and commodious buildings within the walls of the works used for hospital and store purposes. Lately huts have been erected for the garrison troops, whole the white tents still dot the parade ground. At the present time there are about nine hundred troops at Cranny Island and Sewell's Point batteries. Several entrenchments, calculated to protect field artillery, have been thrown up on either bank of the river on the way up to Norfolk. Quito a good one is situated near the old wind-mill, just above the month of the " Western Branch." This battery or breastwork is about two miles from Ora- F ey 1E492.L.P4.01iv....1.111VANANA8r14116 - tit. It was originally intended for a permanent work, I_4,9l__tautlntaidoiti ri = il v- untenanted. .t!.. in it _ Fort Norfolk is a fortification of peculiar shape, having a circular front bearing up the channel watt faces on. the other sides, forming, as it worn, largo river bastions. It mounts two tiers of guns, but a% present it is net in very good condition, although it might be made availablo for good service. Passing up the river, and near the lower ports of both Nor folk and Portsmouth, will bo found batteries; although small, they contain the heaviest shell gone. It is reported - that there are no less than six masked batteries between Craney Island and the city of Norfolk, and that several of the masked batteries were relieved of their guns to supply the works of defence on the Southern coast. No less than six guns left Norfolk in one day, not a month ago, for the field works at Manassas. Some com plaints appeared in the Norfolk Day Book, not long since, in relation to dismantling these batteries to supply those of other States. The above facts in relation to the rebel batteries on the Elizabeth river and its approaches aro col lated from the best authority. The channel from Hampton Roads to the navy yard varies in depth from twenty-seven to fifty feet, affording a safe passage for the largest ships. It is true the way is intricate, but before the rebel. lion it was well marked with beacons and buoys. A light-boat was stationed off Craney Island, and a light-house had been erected off the mouth of the river. The buoys and beacon's had been destroyed or removed, and the lighbship sunk, its masts appear ing above the surface of the water. Several vessels have been sunk in and near the channel way, and, in fact, everything has been done to prevent an approach by water to the city. Communication is kept up with the city from Craney Island, by means of small steamers, while largo pulling boats ply between the island and Sewell's Point. The limo is not fur distant when the stars and stripes will wave over the section of Virginia do• scribed above. Minority Report on the Butler-Lehman Contested Election In the United States House of Representatives, M. Worcester submitted the views of a minority of the Committee of Elections on this case : The reported commences with a detailed account of the manner of conducting an election in Phila delphia, setting forth the precautionary measures to secure a fair expression of the will of the peo ple. The election in question took place on the ninth day of October, 1860. The setnrns from the fifty-one divisions in the district gave the sitting member 8,559 votes ; to the contestant 8,427, and to Edward King 2,044, making a plurality for the sitting member of 132. The fraud, which was perpetrated by William Byerly, return judge of the Fourth ward, in pre senting a false, forged, and counterfeit return of the votes cast in his ward, to the Board of Return Judges, showed very conclusively that the convic tion and sentence of Byerly did the contestant no injustice, and the undersigned were of opinion that the contestant could not in law, and ought not in equity, to claim any benefit from this fraud and forgery. The remaining specifications charge that the elec tion officers In some eighteen divisions, 'severally, at the close of the election, made false and fraudu lent counts and returns of the votes in those di visions. The only notice given •to the sitting member, of how this charge of fraud was to be ens tainetiLwas in supplemental notice of contestant, dated December 6th, 1860, in the following words : ‘, And I further notify you that, In support of my allegations and .averments, I shall claim and ask to have a count of the ballots in the several ballot boxes of the several divisions, in relation to which I have notified you now and heretofore. "Respectfully, Joins Ilt. Bureau. 11. Immix, Req." The sitting member made answer denying the charges of frauds, and alleging the returns of the sworn officers to be the best evidence of the result of the election ; that the boxesbeing in unsafe cus tody, were not free from the suspicion of having been tampered with ; that they were accessible to corrupt agents; and that a charge of fraud against sworn o ffi cers should be proved hi a regular way. Several of these boxes were counted, and the result of the recount showed an apparent gain of 172 votes for contestant. 224 1838 It is well settled that the primary returns of Votes made under State authority, such as these division returns, are prima facie evidence of their legality, of the number of votes cast, and the rights of the respective candidates—(see Spaulding vs Mead, Cong. Con. Rico. p. 169; Bassett vs Bailey, Mem. p.. 25. 4 .; Reed vs Kneass, 2 Parsons,p 673). The report then introduces the testimony of Alder man William McMullen and Alderman Carter, to show the manner in which these boxes wore kept for the period of near three months next prior to the taking of the testimony in respect to their con tents, and argues that both means and opportunity were afforded to, tamper with them. There was also 4linculty in Identifying the par ticular boxes and the strongest evidence of their identity was from their contents. When their con tents did not correspond with the returns of the MK cent, and they in turn, both Republicans and De mounts, swore that the contents were not in the condition that they were sealed up on the night or the election, it is strong evidenoe that the boxes bad been tampered with. The officers bed good opportunity to know the facts in regard to which they testified. They describe the acts which they performed personally, or which were done under their immediate oognizanob, and which it was their sworn duty to have legally and rightly done. They state, in detail, the manner of taking the votes from the boxes at the time of counting, how end by whom counted and tallied, the exec t.number oast for each candidate, the num ber in the aggregate; that those numbers corres ponded with those in the registry and tally lists; that the same rotes, no mere or less, were returned =MEM THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 1862. again to the box, and by whom done; that the se veral boxes wore then .80aled, by whom, and how afterwards disposed of. The testimony of each of these witnesses is direct, explicit, unequivocal, and consistent ; and if to be credited, precludes in each case not only all ground of suspicion of fraud, but all probability, not to any possibility, of mistake. The report then cites extracts from the testimony of these witnesses. There has been no attempt to impeach either of these witnesses, or in any way to impair the credi bility or effect of their testimony, nor is there in the case any evidence inconsistent with it, either direct or circumstantial (except that which comes from the recount of the ballots). The contestant has called no witnesses to rebut their testimony. As we understand the law, the contestant might be justly and properly held to prove the truth of his charges against the election officers. Taking into view the difficulty of identifying the boxes, the manner in which they were kept, the time that had elapsed before they were opened, had those officers been on trial under an indictment for the offence, with no other testimony against them, it is a matter of grave doubt if this evidence, standing unsupported as it does, would have bean sufficient to put them on their defence. " The contestant's theory of his right to a seat from the recount of the ballots is predicated on the hypothesis that the judges of election returned to the ballot•box the same number of votes in the aggregate and the same seamier for each candi date cast by the voters, and that these identical votes, no more nor lees, were found in the ballot boxes on the recount. Yet it will be found, on comparison, that the aggregate number of votes taken from these three - boxes, severally, on the recount, wee lees than the aggregate number in the official return or tally-list. Now has this disparity been occasioned? has it the hue of fraud in the judges or of tampering with the boxes? " Again It will be apparent that the contestant can be entitled to the votes found in his favor upon the recount only upon the hyi. othesis that the judges returned to the boxes the same votes taken out of them. 'This hypothesis involves the additional as sumption that these fifteen election officers, while in the act of perpetrating their crime, knowingly sealed up and preserved for the use of the prosecu ting officers the best and only . evidence that could convict them. What police justice ever found so strange and grotesque a combination of knavery, folly, and stupidity united in the same culprits? "There is nothing to indicate that the contestant himself supposed that he had reason to suspect these election officers until after the Governor refused to issue a proclamation in his favor, so as to enable him to avail himself of the fraud of Byorly, nor that he had reason to believe that proof of fraud would be revealed by unsealing the ballot-boxes, till more than eight weeks after the votes had been returned to them, Nor does it appear at what time, or in what way, the revelation was made to him that this eighteen, upon which this tower of Siloam fell, were any more worthy of condemnation than the residue of the ballot-boxes in the city of Philadelphia. "In those same election districts in which he claims to have lost most votes, the official returns of these judges, and the tally-lists, show that his vote is as large in proportion to those districts, severally, as it was in the remaining divisions of the same wards." "But again: it was said in the argument that the testimony of these election officers was entitled to less credit for the reason that it tended to ezcalp . ate themselves from the criminal charge made - against them by the contestant, and something was said in this connection about, the maxim, WNW divans' turpitudinent, Arc., the applicability of which to this testimony we did not fully understand. Batt these same officers been called on by the contestant to prove the charge of knavery he had made against them, we might then have appreciated the perti nency of the above maxim. We find noallegattons of turpitude connected with the ease but those in the specifications of contestant. If this clamor in the specifications is false, it is libellous. If true, these men long ago should have been indicted and punished. But our professional reading has not brought to our notice any rule of evidence by which a party to a suit can impeach or discredit a witness against him by accusing him of crime till it is first proved whether the charge amounts to a crime or a libel." " The views of the undersigned in respect to this appeal to the reopening of the ballot-boxes, and of the mischiefs, abuses, and evil consequences to which it must lead, unless restrained by stringent and well-understood rules and safeguards, arc so well expressed in the opinion of the court in the ease of Kmenss vs. Reed, upon a motion for opening the boxes for a recount, that we take the liberty to quote briefly from that decision : The authority given us by law,' say the court, •is to inquire into the undue election and fats re turns of certain election officers. The returns of such election, made by the officers charged by law with conducting them, are to be received as true till the contrary is shown. Every fair presumption is to be made in their favor. These are fundamental principles, applicable to all sworn officers. Is It too much to require of a party who seeks to assail such returns a precise statement, authenticated by oath, of the grounds of facts upon which he im peaches the doings of hundreds of sworn officers? Ought not he who desires to search into a ballot box to give other reasons therefor than his mere wish to do so in the hope of finding something that may inure to his own advantage? surely the an swers to these propositions must present themselves to a calm and unbiased mind the moment they era stated. And must not the answers be, that the sworn returns are theofficini expression of the do ings of each and every election poll, and that the contents of every ballot-box must be presumed to be truly expressed by the returns thereof? " The long period which Must necessarily elapse between the holding the election and the arrival of the time for contesting its results would afford a terrible opportunity to deal with the thousand of ballot-boxes scattered over the State. 4 , No more ingenious way could be devise! to invite ' fraud than such looseness of procedure : and odes , established, a flood of ,evil would inevitably rush in, which those having the most acute foresight could hardly estimate the amount of. All this to some extent could bo avoided by sins ply requiring • that he who desires to scrutinize the contents of the ballot-boxes should first say, , on oath, what he ex 7 irall4l TELO ittaaPrellare - e u pon -- them.' "Whether in the face of the foregoing facts • considerations, and suggestions, apart frq21446 , tafititifitra regaded as having established his claim to a seat in this House, either by the weight of evidence or beyond a reasonable doubt, the exi gencies of the case do not require the undersigned ' or the House 1p determine. But when to the fore going attending circumstances and incidents of the case, such as appear negatively as well as positively, there is added to the same scale the direct, explicit, and uncontradieted testimony of the election offi cers, the undersigned cannot doubt or hesitate in respect to the conclusion to which they should come. " It has been the aim of the undersigned to in vestigate, collate, and present the facts and testi mony in this care in such way as they might be readily understood and appreciated, and so as to serve the ends of right and justice between the par ties most immediately interested ; and in the dis charge of this duty they have come to the unhesi tating conclusion that the testimony submitted by the parties to tbo Committee of Elections does not show that the contestant is entitled to a seat in this House; but that it does show that the sitting mom- ber is entitled to retain the seat heretofore awarded to him. In accordance with the foregoing conolu sions, the undersigned submit the following rosolu tions : "Resolved, That John M. Butler is not entitled to a seat in this House.. "Resolved, That William E.

Agriculture in the West—The Growth of the Chinese Sugar-Cane in lowa and of Cotton in Southern Illinois. [Correnobdthce of The Prem.) KEOKUK (Iowa), Jan. 3, 1862. Yon will have noticed, from the columns of the Western papers, that the subject of the cultivation of cotton in being quite generally discussed, and that arrangements are in progress for planting somewhat extensively in the spring. As you are alive to all questions that affect the welfare of the country, I mid you the results of some observations made in this State. lowa is peculiarly favored in some respects; the whole State being gently undu lating, about seven-tenths prairie and three-tenths oak opening or heavy timber land. The northern half of the State is a rich limestone and alluvial soil, finely adapted to the growth of wheat, corn, cattle, hogs, and sheep; the southern half is wholly alluvial, and more especially adapted to the growth of corn, and, as n consequence, the raising of cattle and hogs. The latter being considered, in the pre sent unsettled- state of the country, pretty near legal-tender, at a pretty low price, it must, however, be confessed. _The northern half of the State is not quite no well timbered as the southern, but surpasses it as a wheat and sheep raising sec tion, and I cannot help thinking from such obser vation as I have boon enabled to make, is being settled by a superior class of people, in many re npeots—the Northern element predominating more largely in the north; less so in the south. By re ferring to the. map you will see that there aro six lines of railways projected across the State, all of which are in a Considerable state of forwardness— two or three of these are being vigorously prosecu ted beyond their present termini. The coal de posits of the State aro very extensive, and so scat tered over the whole surface, as that when de veloped they will gni:l4y not only the local inhabt- Mists, but aloe the Upper Mississippi and its tribu taries. The coal compares favorably with the bituminous deposits of Pennsylvania and Ohio. The value of these coal measures to the future of the West, where wood for fuel and manufacturing purposes is so scarce, cannot be easily estimated. I have been much impressed with the apparently vigorous health which the people everywhere enjoy. My inquiries confirm these impressions, while I am the more inclined to place reliance upon them, fa vorably determined as they aro, by the high, rolling nature of the country. I have seen nothing as yet analogous to the low, level prairies of Illinois in the State. There is ono feature of the agriculture of this State, which is just beginning to attract attention, and as it approximates to cotton in its national portance, your readers wilt be interested to hear of it. I allude to the Chinese sugarcane, or sor ghum, as it is more commonlyealled bore. Already the syrup made from this cane, and known as sor ghum syrup, is an established article in all the ho tels I have thus far visited. I have taken pains to call for it and taste it, and confess to no little sur• prise at the results. As prepared hero upon the spot, it is not unlike the well-knor;n "golden sy rup," manufactured in Now York by Stuart. Ido not sec why it is not fully equal to it. It has quite as much body, is quite as sweet, and its peculiar Saver so like it that I do not think a comparatively Inexperienced person can distinguish it from this famous syrup. Whether this be really £0 or not, the fact that the cane maim easily grown and the juice cheaply converted into a syrup that is a good substitute for ordinary molasses and syrups, is a matter of the utmost significance, not only to the Neat, but to the whole nation. I cannot but re gard it as beyond question that the produce of the cane is hereafter to become en article of extensive exportation and its manufacture a branch of na tional industry. A largo refinery has recently been put in opera tion in Chicago for refining and manufacturing this syrup particularly, and the business is already de veloped upon a scale to Insure success. I need not enlarge upon the . importance of this in the present exigencies of, the nation. I cannot, however, re frain from suggesting that the present tariff upon foreign sugars will tend powerfully to develop this interesting branch of domestic manufacture and agriculture, tied I cannot help believing that soon we shall be wholly independent or all foreign sup plies. Its price at the present time is not far from twenty-five to thirty cents the gallon, when pur chased by the barrel, and about forty cents at re tail. Some difficulty has thus far been experienced, I learn, in granulating it. Its conversion into sugar, therefore, is nut so well established. It is, however, safe to predict that this is a result which will very soon be reached. With the cultivation of cotton in Southern Illinois, which seems now to bo highly probable, and the Chinese sugar-cane in the West generally, we ehall feel the absence of South ern supplies much loss than we otherwise would One word as to political matters. Everywhere throughout the West, the outspoken loyalty of the people is conspicuous, except Immediately on the Mississippi river. In all the towns upon the banks of the river, from Dubuque to this place, I have found more or less Southern sympathizers, and occa sionally one, as friend Greeley delights to say, " thoroughly pronounced." I mention it rather as a curious fact than because I would speculate about it. Except in the city of Dubuque, the element is too feeble to make it worth while to notice it. In Dubuque ' however, it is really astonishing that such a state of things should be tolerated. The town may, with propriety, be celled a Secession hole. The Dubuque Herald is mainly responsible for this state of things, its columns being almost doily filled with attsoks upon the Government and country, while its virulence would be now, as it was recently, outspoken, except for the wholesome fear which its editor entertains of Fort Lafayette, where its friend, Mr. G. W. Jones, luxuriates in quiet seclusion. If there was any doubt whatever of the truth of what is here alleged, these assertions would not be hazarded; but the evidence is abundant and conclusive that the town is as I have described it. If there is a locality in the North that needs, and is justly en titled to, Governmental supervision, that town is Dubuque. Keokuk is styled the "Gate City," and is so called because its inhabitants consider it the gate to lowa, a conceit not unlike that of the Bn tetanus, who think their clever little city is the " hub of the universe ;" the claim of the people of Keokuk is modest, we confess, compared with their Boston friends, but why they go so far as they do it is not easy to HO. To get into the town I had to ride in a stage coach (what an anomaly in this rail way age !) twenty miles, and to got out of at in any direction except the West I must either take a boat to Quincy, or take another stage ride of forty miles; the latter being my . moat likely resort. The chief consolation that a vigorous, and healthy man tins, under such circumstances ' is that prairie chickens, quails, and good tat venison, to say nothing of other substautials, abound on every hand, and are to be had almost for the asking. The only thing I really miss, aside from the "loved ones at home," is the daily visit of my favorite newspaper. I have not seen a copy of The Press since I left Chicago. I know I shall have your sympathy in my deprivation, and further console myself with the reflection that, if at times de prived of it, it regnlarly refreshes those I love, and so I send with this the benison of your wander ing friend. W. L. B. FOREIGN NEWS TIM LATE PRINCE CONSORT.—OR Saturday, the 21st of Deceinber, Major Graham, the registrar ge neral, attended at Windsor Castle for the purpose of superintending the civil registration of the death of the Prince Consort previous to the funeral. The death was recorded an the register-book of the Windsor district by Mr. Towers, the registrar of births and deaths, the Prince of Wales signing the entry as informant " present at death." The fatal disease was recorded, "typhoid fever; duration twenty-one days," as certified in writing by the physicians who had been in attendance on the de ceased. PRINCE ALBERT was solicited by a Bishop, we will not say by whom, to support the claims of a man of very doubtful opinions to a bishopric. Ho demurred, txpressed his misgivings of the ambitious candidate's orthodoxy. Shortly afterward the dis appointed man went over to Rome. When next the Prince met the Bishop, he observed how fortu nate it was that ho (the Prince) had not recom mended his friend the renegade to ecclesiastical ad vancement, to which the indiscreet but character istically unprincipled answer was, "Had your Royal Highness done so, the apostaoy would not have happened." From that moment the Prince knew his man ; and that man, whoever he is, now treats the Prince's death as a judgment. Out upon bim [The person referred to here is Dr. IVilberforce, Bishop of Oxford.] "THE LAW'S DELAY" has lately been exempli fied in a remafkablo manner. In 1803 Messrs. Strange, Dastmood, b• Co., bankers, New Broad street, London, became insolvent, and made an as signment of their effects for the benefit of creditors. This assignment led to the Chancery suit of "Anson vs Towgood," which, after lingering in the Chan cery Court for fifty-eight years, is just settled. INCEEASED VALVE 01' LAND IN IDELAND.—Tho estate, of Castle Hyde, near Fermoy, county Cork, purchased in the Encumbered Estates Court in De cember, 1851, by Mr. Vincent Scully, M.P., for £13,425, was resold by Judge Longfield for prices amounting to £44,050, upon the petition of Mr. Sadlier's mortgagees, Messrs. Deckhouse, of Dar lington. This is ono out of the many instances of the increased selling price of property in that country.

Under these circumstances a very favorable Impression has been made as to the condition of histrionic talent in the United States. Mr. Sothern Is ac knowledged to bo ono of the most original humorists of the day, and his Lord Dimelreary has for many weeks remained the leading attraction at the Haymarket. The Medea of Miss Avonia Jones, at Drury-lane, is one of the most striking, per formances of high tragedy that have been seen for some Limo. Mrs. Bowers, who made a good dares as Juba, in the Hunchback," at Sadler's-wells, is now established as a general actress of leading parts at the Lyceum. To this list is now to be added Mrs. F. Conway, who has appeared at Sad ler's-wells es lon, in Sir T. N. Talfourd'a tragedy. Without being remarkable for intensity of feeling, her representation •of the devoted Greek boy Is to the highest degree graceful and elegant Con ceiving the character in that sculptural spirit which almost of necessity is awakened by the play, she takes great pains with her attitudes, but never falls altogether in a statuesque stiffness, from which, indeed, she is preserved by . the animation of her countenance, and the expression of her very pone• trating and mobile eyes. Altogether, Mrs. F. Con way has made a very promising commencement.— London Times. ells Empress of the French will leave for Nice in the course of this month.

FRENCH NATIONAL DEBT.—The rapid 100MALSO of tho public funded debt of Franco during peace bee been beyond all precedent. In 1815, the whole debt of Franco only amounted to 450,646,108. In 1851, it had increased to £213,825,402, and in 1858, according to the last reliable return to which we have access, it bad further mounted up to £316,056,651.

TEE LATEST accounts received in Paris from St. Petersburg state that if the Government does not relax its system of oppression, a catastrophe may bo expected. The general discontent had reached even the Imperial Guard, and several officers were arrested at Cronstadt for having copies of the Rus sian Democratic paper published in London. PROJECTED DISMEMBERMENT OF ITALY.—TBO Daily News publishes the following, "from a cor respondent": "The project of an Italian oonfede. ration is by no means given up. The plan is to divide Italy into three parts—the ono, a northern kingdom, with Victor Emmanuel at its head ; the Second, a Papal State, including Umbria and the Marches; the third, a Neapolitan kingdom, under Francis 11. Venice would then be given to the northern kingdom. The great obstacle to the reali zation of this . plan is Baron Itioasoli; but every kind of intrigue is at work to displace him, and it is thought if Fermi could bo brought in, with Ratazzi as nominal bond, the tripartite Italy might ho formed, the Pope satisfied, and the phantom of ono Italy sunk in the Red Sea forever.' rxrrrn from Turin contradicts the statement of the Trieste Gazette that Kossuth is a prey to consumption, and states that, he is in excellent health.

THE VOLUNTEER REFRESHMENT SALOONS--7 A GRATEFUL TRILUTE.—The following is from the Pottsville Miners' Joteritrt : It is an undeniable fact, that the Volunteer Refreshment Committou of Philadelphia, which was organized on the 27th day of May, 1801, has sinco that - period done a vast deal of good, in furnishing food to the Union soldiers passing through that city, on their way to the seat of war, and in ministering to the wants of tbo sick and wounded. Many a soldier, weak for look of food, or prostrated by disease, has un doubtedly blessed the liberality of the citizens of Philadelphia. while the recipient at this saloon, of their hospitality. It is an interesting fadt In this connection, that a Schuylkill county regiment (the Sixth, Colonel James Ni . tglo) was the first enter tained at Broad and Prime streets, by the citizens in that vicinity. To give some idea of what has been done at the sa loon since its organization, we might state that, up to December last, some five hundred sick and wound ed had been oared for,—many for weeks, at pri vate houses, by ladies connected with the saloon, while about one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers have each been served with a meal. This is the more creditable, as it was done by the voluntary (marl. buttons of the citizens of Philadelphia, the commit tee never having asked or received aid from the City, I-Rate, or United States Governments. All honor to the committee of ladies and gentlemen who have cheerfully volunteered their time and labor in a work so benevolent. Their deeds wilt be more enduring then monumental granite.
