WHEN
SUBSCRIBED FOR IN CLUBS OF NOT LESS
THAN TEN COPIES 70 ONE ADDRESS!
We have been compelled to raise the club subscription
price to one dollar and fifty cents in order to save our
selves from actual loss. Paper has risen, including
taxes, about twenty-five per cent., and is still rising;
and when we tell our Democratic friends, candidly, that
we can no longer afford to sell the Weekly PATRIOT AND
Union at one dollar a year, and must add fifty cents or
stop the publication, we trust they will appreciate oar
position, and, instead of withdrawing their subscrip
tions, go to work with a will to increase our list in every
county in the State. We have endeavored. and shall
continue our efforts, to make the paper useful as a party
organ, and welcome as a news messenger to - every fam
ily. We flatter ourselves that it has not been w,thout
some influence in producing the glorious revolution in
the polities of the State achieved at the late election;
and if fearlessness in the discharge of duty, fidelity to
the principles of the party, and an anxious desire to pro
mote Its interests, with some experience and a moderate
deg r ee of ability, can be made serviceable hereafter, the
Weekly PATRIOT AND UNION will not be less useful to
the party or less welcome to the family circle in the fu
ture than it has been in the past. We confidently look
.for increased encouragement in this great enterprise,
and appeal to every influential Democrat in the State to
lend us his aid in running our supseription list up to
twenty or thirty thousand. The expense to each indi
vidual is trifling, the benefit to the party may be great.
Believing that the Democracy of the State feel the ne
cessity of sustaining a fearless central organ, we make
this appeal to them for assistance with the fullest confi
dence of success.
The same reasons which induce us to raise the price
of the Weekly, operate in regard to the Daily paper, the
price of which is also increased. The additional cost to
each subscriber will be but trifling; and, while we can
not persuade ourselves that the change necessarily made
will result in any diminution of our daily circulation,
yet, were we certain that such would be the cense
(pence, we should still be compelled to Mae it, or ant
fer a ruinous loss. Under these circumstances we must
throw ourselves upon the generosity, or, rather, the
justice of the public, and abide their verdict, whatever
it may be.
The period for which many of our eubscribers have
paid for their paper being on the eve of expiring, we
take the liberty of issuing this notice, reminding them
of the same, in order that they may
RENEW THEIR CLUBS.
We shall also take it as au especial favor if our present
subscribers will urge upon their neighbors the fact that
the PATRIOT AND UNION is the only Democratic paper
printed in Harrilburg, and considering the large amount
of reading matter, embracing all the current news of
the day, and

To enable the Postmaster to comply with this regale,

A STRANGE STORY.
BY EMERSON BENNETT
In a flourishing little town in Corsica there
lived a respectable merchant, named Cadmir
Borosse. He married a young and handsome
lady of some fortune, and In the course of time
became the father of two promising chileren,
a daughter and son. On the tenth anniversary
of his daughter's birth, he gave a splendid en
tertainment at his mansion, to which were in
vited many of the leading families of the
place. Everything went off with satisfaction
to the guests, and those who drank success to
the supposed happy merchant, little dreamed
that he was on the verge of ruin. But such
was the case. Some speculations which he
had entered into, had taken an unfortunate
turn, and he himself was aware that the secret
could not long be concealed and that poverty
would soon be the doom of himself and family;
and though he seemed on that night to be the
gayest of the gay, yet a weight of sorrow was
upon his heart.
After the guests had departed, instead of re
tiring to bed, he told his wife he had some bu
siness letters to write, and went to a little room,
denominated a libtary, and locked himself
in. Here he debated wit h himself whether he
should boldly await the fearful consequence of
exposure, ruin and disgrace, or take his own
life, or flee from the country. After a severe
mental struggle, he decided upon the last.
"If I remain here, a living man," he ar
gued, "I shall be crushed and despised, and
never, perhaps, have an opportunity to rise
again; if I take my life, I shall send my soul
into tho presence of my Maker, with at least
§9l4ln4rderer's sin upon it; but if I escape to
the little means ~,arry with me, I may
in time be able to carve out a new fortune, and
return in triumph to cancel every outstanding
obligation 2"
Having thus decided upon his course, he at
once proceeded with the painful task of ac
quainting his wife by letter of what bad oc
curred, his new resolution, and bidding her a
sad farewell.
"I have not the moral courage to meet and
tell you of my misfortunes," he went on to say,
" nor the moral courage to remain and face my
ruin. I must depart to some unknown region,
either in this world or from it, and as my death
can benefit no one, I do not feel called upon to
add a suicide's sin to my soul. As all our
property will soon be seized and sold, which,
without other provision, would leave you and
our dear children beggars, I have resolved to
retain all the money I now have in my posses
sins, collect all I possibly can in the brief space
of to-morrow, place one half at your disposal,
and, with the other moiety, set off and attempt
to retrieve my fortunes in a distant land. If I
succeed in my design, I will return and pay all
my debts like an honest man ; if I fail, my
creditors must lose. Let this letter be de
stroyed as soon as read, and my project be a
profound secret in your breast alone. If ques
tioned, know nothing of me or my designs, and
be sure you let rid' one suspect I left you mo
ney. It you remain in Corsica, live as you
Would live if I had left you nothing, and your
own consciousness of secret means will give you
mental strength."
These were the principal points of the letter
which concealed with protestations of eternal
love and fidellity.
Having thus fully settled upon his course,
the merchant went to bed, fell asleep, and
slept as soundly as if nothing had ever oc
curred to trouble him—by all of which, it will
be perceived, he was a rather extraordinary
man. The next day he was at his counting
room, calm and coal. and transacted his busi
ness in his usual manner. No one suspected
him, for no one knew his secret, which would
not have public exposure for at least four-and
twenty hours. He directed that certain bills
should be paid, and others be collected, and
he borrowed, for the shortest time, a conside
rable sum of a wealthy banker. At dusk he
disappeared, and not till a late hour did his
wife become uneasy concerning his absence.—
Going into his library, near midnight, she
found the letter addressed to her, of which we
have already given a description. The shock
was so terrible that she fainted while reading.
On coming to her senses, she finished the
epistle, and then, according to its instructions,
committed it to the flames. The money left
her she also secreted, resolving to act in every
way as adviied by her husband. It was a
long, painful night to her, and morning found
her weighed down with grief too great for
words. Still she bore up with wonderful for
titude, and those who learned of her husband's
absence, attributed 11;1r excitement and trouble
to her alarm on his account. Of course she
knew not whither he had gone, for his letter
did not state - , and so, when questioned on the
subject, she could speak the truth without
embarrassment.
But great as was her present sorrow, it was
destined to be still greater within a few hours.
Before night the place was thrown into a state
of great excitement by the startling news that
Cadmir Borosee had been found murdered,
about ten miles from town, on the road to the
nearest seaport. He appeared to have been
shot first, and then his face beat to a jelly by a
club. A single letter found on his body gave
a clue to his identity and place of residence;
and when . the corpse was carried into town, all
his friends, and especially his wife, recognized
it by the dress worn when last. seen alive. He
had also been robbed of everything but the
single letter found in one of his pockets, which
(he murderer, had neglected to destroy or take
away, probably considering it of no value.
This naturally made a great stir throughout
PRICE TWO CENTS
that section; and when, soon after, it was
discovered the deceased was insolvent, the ex
citement in moneyed circles became intense.
The widow received much sympathy from her
immediate friends, but the creditors pressed
their claims, and everything. that could be,
legally, was seized and sold, and only for the
money she managed to conceal, the afflicted
lady would have been reduced to absolute pov
erty.
The authorities took the affair of the mur
der in hand, and offered a large reward for the
detection and conviction of the murderer. Sev
eral arrests were made, and at lost the villain
was caught. He declared his innocence till
the collected evidence became too strong for
him, end then he confessed to the murder, but
denied the robbery. He stated that he bad
shot the deceased for the purpose of robbing
him ; but that, before having time to effect the
latter design, another man had come running
towards him, and he had at once made good his
escape. Whether this story was true in the
whole,
or in part, mattered little. He had con.
fessed to the killing, and that was enough;
and for this, in due process of law, he was ea
routed.'
Time passed on, the excitement gradually
died away, and the grief of the afflicted family
gradually became assuaged. Eight years from
the death of her husband, it was rumored that
Madame Borosse was about., for the second
time, to enter the nuptial state, her suitor be
ing a gentleman of wealth and a descendant of
a noble French. family. Rumor in this ease
had truth for foundation; and, not long after,
invitations were sent to the leading families of
the town to. attend the wedding, which was
expected to prove a very brilliant affair. The
appointed day came, the guests assembled, and
the ceremony was about to begin, when a
stranger, pale and breathless, came rushing
into the presence of the company and ex
claimed :
"Am I too late; is Madame Borosse the wife
of another ?"
The company was electrified, and each felt
the presaging thrill of a strange development.
The bride turned and axed her eyes spin the
excited questioner, and then stood like a statue,
speechless and breathless with amazement and
terror.
"Who are you, sir, and why such a question
at such a time ?" demanded the priest, step
ping forward and confronting the intruder.
"I am he, good father, who hae a prior claim—
].am Cadmir Borosse !"
A wild shriek rung out with most startling
effect, and the pile bride, no longer CotleCit.ll9,
lay perfectly helpless in the arms of her attend
ants. The almost distracted husband sprung
forward exclaiming:
"Heaven's mercy ± I fear I have killed her.i"
But she had only swooned from excess of
emotion, and in a short time revived.
"Was it a strange, delusive dream ?" were
her first murmured words ; "or did I see the
dead alive, and hear the voice of my beloved,
long-mourned husband ?"
Happily it was no delusion. Cadmir Borosse
was there, a living man, and in due time pro
ceeded to clear up the wonderful mystery con
cerning himself. •
On the night that he left his home for a
long separation from his family, he first 're
paired to his counting-house and remained
there till a late hour, and then stole out of
titer-..takitur—titte_rmi4.ln Aja_CdOt _ day'
on his journey; and from: a fear of being fol
lowed, he resolved to turn off into a dark,
gloomy road, and to conceal himself till
another night. He had just reached a place
suitable for his purpose when he heard voices
approaching, and immediately secreted him
self in a thicket to avoid being seen. Two
persons, apparently travelers, soon after went
by, but did not go out of sight before he was
startled by the report of a pistol, and saw that
one of them had shot the other. ImpulFively
he sprung forward to secure the murderer,
who, hearing his steps, at once bounded off in
to the wood and escaped. On reaching the
prostrate man, he found him just breathing his
last; and then like lightning the idea flashed
upon him of changing clothes with the dead
man, mutilating the features beyond recogni
tion, leaving one of his own letters on the
body, and thus compelling his family and
friends to believe it was himself, intending, as
soon as he could do so with safety, to acquaint
his wife with the real facts.
This purpose it is already known he suc
ceeded in carrying out ; and finding a passport
on the deceased, that in its description, of
size, color of hair, complexion, and so forth,
answered to a description of himself, be deci
ded to make use of it and assume his name.
There was also a large amount of money and
valuable jewels on the murdered man, which
thinking it wrong to use and wrong to leave,
he took away and buried, intending if he could
ever discover the friends of the deceased, to
restore all to them, but otherwise to see all
disposed of in cheirity.
At Ajaccio he found a vessel bound for In
dia, and forthwith took passage to try his for
tune in that distant land. He had been suc
cessful beyond his most sanguine hopes, and
had now returned to pay off all his obligations
and restore his family to their former position
in society. He had written once to his wife
to say that be was alive and well, and that
some day be would return and clear up the
mystery—but his letter she had never received,
and hence the peculiar state of sinks at the
moment of his arrival.
There is an old proverb that says "All is
well that ends well ;" and after great sorrow
and tribulation, happiness once more reigned
in the house of Cad mit* Borosse.
FEMALE REBELS IN WASHlNOTON.—yesterday
two ladies from Richmond came to this city
with a party of refugees, and pretended to be
long to that class themselves. Their - names
were Miss Eugenia C. Hyde and Miss Constance
Carey. The last named was 'found out to be
the intended bride of Gensral Fitzhugh Lee,
%nd the errand of herself and her fair compan
ion was to purchase wardrobes for the approah
log nuptials. et
We have not learned by what particular
means Provost Marshal Todd learned the pur
port of the visit of these ladies ; but be deter
mined to send them back to Dixie by 'be same
road they came—namely the Culpepper route.
Some officers high in command interceded in
their behalf, and asked that they might. be al.
lowed to visit Baltimore; but Mr Watson, As
sistant Secretary of War, insisted that they
should be sent home instanter.
Miss Carey—the future Mrs. General Lee—
is a very pretty though rather polite young
lady, and is very intellectual withal. When she
found the Provost Marshal inexorable, she re
quested that they might be sent back via Fred
ericksburg, as they did not relish the trans
portation in ox carts and thiags through the
Bull Run region. When the Marshal informed
her firmly but politely that she must return by
the way she came, the bride elect was quite
indignant. She stormed a little and her bright
eyes flashed a good deal. She remarked with
great force and meaning that she hoped to meet
Marshal Todd in Richmond, when she would
take pains to reward his kindnes, &e.
The ladies were placed under the care of

SORGHUM AND ITS CULTURE.
The following, which we transfer to our col
umns from the Germantown Telegraph, comes
from a gentleman of great experience in the
matter of which he writes :
Although Sorghum, its culture, &o.; have
been the theme of frequent newspaper essays,
yet from the increasing interest manifested by
the community at large in this comparatively
new plant, and the real value which I am sure
it possesses in the catalogue of our home pro
duets, I am induced again to call attention to
the encouragement and development of this
branch of our domestic economy. I have said
domeazic economy, because I believe unhesita-
tingly that the moment Pennsylvania shall have
introduced the culture of the Chinese sugar
cane regularly into her 'system of husbandry,
she will add to her positive wealth tunaslly,
over and above her present savings, more than
a million of dollars.
The aggregate of syrup made in Chester and
adjacent counties the past season, eannot have
fallen short of 32,000 gallons, a gain of two to
one over last year. And from present appear
ances Chester county Slone will exceed this
quantity the coming season.
The sorghum plant may be said to be s vigo
rous and determined grower, yet, being of fo
reign introduction, it has been liable to failure
from disease induced by the rigor of our cli
mate, unless its nature and habits are carefully
studied.
While the full grown plant far outstrips the
Indian corn, its seeds are so small that one
grain of corn will outweigh twenty of them.
Hence the plant in the early stages of its growth
must necessarily be delicate and feeble. Here
lies the onlj , critical point in its culture.
In poor soil, with a chance frosty night af
ter it has come up, and dry, parching winds
by day, the plant sometimes sickens, and either
becomes the prey of insects, or dies outright.
The following embraces briefly the outline
of a method of culture which has, so far as
my experience and observation have reached,
fully counteracted all constitutional tendency
to disease, and secured a vigorous and healthy
growth throughout. Any other method, how
ever, by which the diminutive plant shall be
stimulated in its infancy to a vigorous growth,
and the other conditions fulfilled, may succeed
equally well.
.....I. , aitteline_nf_soil select :inland. light loam or
produce forty or fifty bushels of .corn to the
acre. Plow deeply in March,. and cultivate
thoroughly in early part of May. Procure
pure, well ripened seed, four quarts to the
acre ; and for the same amount of ground 150
to 200 pounds of finely powdered superphos
phate of lime, to be applied in drills. Scald
the seed, and keep moist and warm till it has
begun to sprout; dry with plaster, drop in
light furrows, and cover to the depth of one
half to three fourths of an inch. When up,
and the plant has four or five leaves, it should
be parti.dly thinned, but this process should
be conducted with care, seeking to retain the
strongest plants, to be selected from on subse
quent occasions, until reduced to 8 or 10
inches in the row. When the cane is thick
enough without the suckers, advantage will
result, from their removal, in the subsequent
handling, and a heavier crop will be realized.
,Such treatment, with thorough cultivation till
'about three feet high, will secure anrop, vary
ing according to the season, of from 150 to
25 gallons of syrup to the acre.
The cane may be regarded as fit to work up
when a majority of the heads 'have become
brown. At this stage it may be cut off (ob
liquely) at the ground, the tops lopped off be
low the upper joint., bladed and tied into bun
dles, and shocked or piled where it can he
sheltered from the sun and weather. In this
condition it may remain, if necessary, and
without damage, for some weeks.
Of the cost of manufacture I may say that
syrup, such as sample, can be made with profit
for 15 cents per gallon, when the cane is pro
perly handled and furnished in suitable quan
tity.
I need only speak in general terms of the
method of manufacture, as my bo,ildings and
-fixtures are free for examination, and the owner
always willing to render any information that
his limited experience can suggest.
• I use Clark's vertical three roller, four horse
mill, and Cook's patent evaporator, No. 5, ca
pable of producing 12 to 18 gallons of syrup
per hour, according to the richness of the
*uice.
It is an interesting fact connected with the
crop of the past season, thatthejuiee, weighed
by sacharometer, ranged from 9 to 14 degrees,
while ordinarily it has weighed from 6 to 11
degrees. This difference is attributable, I
think, to the extraordinary drouth of the sea
son, hut not at all calculated to confirm the
suspicion that the cane will depreciate in our
climate.
The obj Pets attained by Cook's pan over any
other that I have seen used, consists, 1, in the
intensely rapid evaporation secured by it; 2,
the facility afforded by its arrangement for the
removal of the scum ; 3, the thorough deficit
lion t ffeeted without the use of chemical
agents; and 4, the ease with which the syrup,
the instant it is ready, is removed, leaving the
pan always occupied.
Now, it the above general statements be
true—and I think they are all susceptible of
prof—it follows that the agricultural inter
ests of the States where sorghum can he suc
cessfullytai-ed, and in common with these, the
interests of our whole people, will be promoted
by the early introduction of ita'culture. The
euperior quality of the syrup and sugar; the
peculiar necessities of our present political
condition ; our natural love of independence,
combined with the consideration of the very
limited amount of capital necessary to estab
lish the manufacture, it seems to me should
stimulate every farmer to introduce the cul
ture of the cote, and should prompt enterpri
sing men in every neighborhood to provide es
tablishments for its manufacture.
