’ / iFor «je farmer. The Chinese Sugar Cane. Tha New Orleans 'Delta publishes the fol lowing extract from' a letter from Thomas Affleck, Esq., of Mississippi, to a sugar plan ter, on seeking information relative to the newly introduced Sorgho Sucre: “The ‘Chinese Sugar Cane,’ so called (Sorghum Saccharatum,) the‘Sorgho Sucre,’ ofj the French, I do verily believe will prove tofbe all that is claimed for it. 1 have studied it closely, and watched the results of the va-, rious experiments made, from its first intro duction to France to this lime. That it may possibly ‘supplant our sugar cane,’ 1 cannot - pretend to say ; yet such a-result would not be at all surprising. Nor can I see why you should feel alarmed at the prospect; on the ■contrary, as you fear ‘a decided short crop inf cane,’ not only on your own plantation, out generally in Louisiana, I should say sow till of the seed of this new plant that you can, find time or land for/ and lest it thoroughly. If Providence has sept us a perfectly hardy annual, exceedingly rich ip sugar, to take the place of the very uncertain ‘cane,’ by all means let us accept of the boon. You have '■the land, the hands trained to the work, the buildings and machinery sufficient for double the crop you are likely to make from the cane now in the ground,’ why then not try this plan 1 ? You cannot ,lose much by it, as it yields a most valuable article of fodder, and may, and I think must gain very greatly by it in the results of your sugar crop. Even if it proves to be ail that its admirers claim for it wherever the maize reaches its highest perfection, the sorghum will assuredly yield more sugar with you than further North, be sides attaining a vastly, larger growth. These 'facts, together with your.supply of machinery perfectly adapted to the purpose, and. your thorough knowledge of sugar making, must give yoursugar-growers in Louisiana a vast 1 advantage over the farmers of the West.— Many will there and elsewhere make their own supply of sugar, and perhaps something more, as they now do from the maple Iree : but I doubt if it be largely carried on, as a ■business for many years if “ever.” Mr. George Wilkins Kendall, of the Pica yune, writes to his paper from his plantation near New Braunfels, Texas, as follows : “For the lasi six months I have hardly opened a paper, whether devoted to agricul ture, politics, religion, sporting affairs, or what not, without seeing some notice of the Sorgho Sucre, or Chinese sugar cane; why have I not a perfect right to add my experi enco to' the general stock of information in relation to the cultivation of this new grain, or plani, or whatever it may be termed 1 To begin, then : In October, 1855,1 purchased in Paris a small paper of the seed. Ido not think there was more.than Hvo heaping table spoonsful of it, or three at the outside. I brought it with me to-New Orleans, and on arriving sent it here to be planted. When 1 reached this place, early In May last, it was just peering above the ground, two rows of it in a ten acne field, which had been devoted io the main to millet, oats, and a little Indian corn, and four short rows in our garden ; the .latter planted last. “About the S'b of July the two'rows in the larger field had shot up, headed out, and ri pened,notwithstanding the drought, and heavy heads were cut for seed. The oats mean while had come up, the millet was hardly above the ground, while the Indian qorn was parched and drying up for the want of rain. Two or three mornings afterwards, on look ing at field from a hill close by, I noticed that the two rows of Sorgho Sucre had en tirely disappeared, while rows of Indian corn on either aide were still standing. On close examination, I ascertained that a lot of hogs —hogs are apt to do- such things—had bro ken into the field, and devoured the Chinese . sugar cane root and branch ; it was cut clean to the ground by the porkers, not a sign or - vestige was left, while, as already stated, the s'alks of Indian corn on eilheivside were left standing. I was thankful .1 had saved the seed, and thought little more pf it. “Some few days after this—perhaps a fort night—the rows planted in the garden were examined, the heads of seeds found to be ripe, nnd the greater portion cut and brought to the house, leaving the stalks still standing.— cutting down one of the latter, which must have been ten feet high, 1 found it to be exceedingly heavy, and on tasting the cane it seemed to me to be as full, of saccharine juice as lha ordinary sugar -cane of Louisi ana. At the same lime I ht|d two or three imported French merino sheep in my yard, in great want of green fodder, nnd on culling the cane into small pieces I found that they devoured it with the greatest avidity. After this I fed them daily on irfor %ome lime, a single stalk furnishing a good bait. I also gave some of it to a favorite mare, she eating it even more greedily than the sheep. Some three weeks after,the ripe heads of the seed were cut I noticed that new heads had shot up from the same stalk ; and these new heads blossomed, filled and ripened in September, _nnd were cut out and brought to the house. All this lime yon~must recollect we were sufleiing from the unprecedented and Indian corn and sweet potatoes, water melons, pumpkins, nnd the like, had died down to the very ground. “I now became interested in the Sorgho Sucre than ever, and although 1 still fed out daily to the merinoes and mare, left a portion of the stalks standing. Some new heads were seen shooting out, and these in turn blossomed and ripened as did the first, 1 kepi no account of dales, but think this third crop of seed from the same stalk, if I may call it, was gathered about the first week of October ; it might have been during the second week of-that month. I planted some of this laqt seed by way of experiment, it came up rapidly, looking thrifty, grew until it was nearly knee-high, and was finally cut down by frost in November. A great num ber of shoots or suckers, which had sprung up from the stalks .first planted, were cut down at the sime time; the Sorgho Sucre can stand any kind of drought, but the first sharp frost kills it to the ground. And wh-1 amount of seed do you think I gathered from the little paper I purchased in Paris ? Nearly, if not quite, two bushels! and had - not the hogs broken into the field, I believe I should have had three. It certainly yields -in the roost'miraculous: manner; heats everything for dry weather. _ : r Of its properties for the production of suglr I can say nothing ; I only know that it tastes like the common sugar cane, and is Ibll of juice about the lime the first beads ripen. a green fodder it also beats everything which grows; horses, sheep and. hogs are certainly inordinately fond of it, and so full are the stalks of saccharine matter, that they must be both nulrictous and fattening. I cannot say what kind of bread or cakes the seeds will afford, nor can 1 tell what kind of dry fodder the plant will make when cut green; these experiments 1 have yet to try, and now that I have the seed I intend to do it on a grand scale. I shall plant it in rows or drills, shall sow it and shall cut it at different stages lb try its qualities os a "dry fodder. Let me repeat over and over again, that it stands a drought better than anything we have—does not seem to require rain after it is once up. Yours &c., G. W. K. Conversation. ; Guests should bs neither loquacious nor si lent ; because eloquence is for the forum, and silence for the bedchamber.— Varro. ,r Talk all wit would be as disagreeably mo notonous as a dinner all champagne. When a man is always witty, it is a proof that he has no other quality equally conspicuous, and the person who is spoken of as par excellence “a wit,” js a second rale conversationalist. — “He was! so well dressed,” said somebody to Brummell, “ihai people would lurn and look at him.” Then he was not well dressed,” replied the great master of the art. We ven- the doctrine to table talk. It should not wtaat wit; but it should not ex ceed in it; the epigram should be sprinkled over it with the natural grace of daises on a meadow.— Anon. There are persons who speak a moment before they have thought; there are others with whom you have to undergo in conversa tion, all the labor of their minds —they talk correctly and wearisomely. —La Bmyrre. The art of conversation consists much less in yonr own abundance than in enabling oth ers to find talk for themselves. Men do not wish to admire you; they want to please.— Ibid. The honorablesl pari of talk is lo give the occasion.— Bacon. It would appear that a thoroughly good talker, something is reqnired of the talents of active life. Loid Bacon, Seldcn, Cicero and Burke, were all men of action. Napoleon said things which tell in history like his bat lids. Luther’s table-talk glows with the fire which burnt the Pope’s bull. Nearly all great orators have been excellent in colloquy, and which is a kindred fact—a very large proportion of actors, likewise. The best sav ers of good things have been among states, men, diplomatists, and men of the world.— We think the essence of the quality lies'as much in the character as in the intellect.— It is an affair of the emotions, of the animal spirits, as well as of mental gifts.— Anon.

When we reflect that these Safes were located in the fourth story of the building wo occupied, and that they fell subse quently into a heap of burning ruins, where the vast concen tration of heat caused the brass plates to melt, we cannot but regard tbo preservation of the valuable contents aa most con vincing proof of the groat security Afforded by your Safes.

Messrs Evans d* Tibtenn—l have to offer you my testimony In favor of the great security afforded to my entire stock of Jewelry, books, papers, daring the recent disastrous con flagration In Ranstcad place, from the fact that the same were contained In two of the Salamander Safes manufactured by you. Having tallon from the filth story of the Artisan Build ing, where they were previously placed and exposed to a vast heat for a lung time, the preservation of th valuable debits seemed to every one who witnessed the opening and interior examination, u mutter of profound astonishment.
