IThe sorghum Crop.—The sorghum crop
of this valley has been quite large and it is esti
mated that .the farmers have produced enough
this season to furnish all the molasses sweeten
ing necessary for the entire farm consumption.
In nearly every community the farmers have
united in the purchase of boilers sad grinders,
Which are used in conanion. As 'this prop Will
probably engross the attention of the farmers
more than formerly, on account of the immense
benefits derived from it, we give the following
prescriptions for harVesting itpin a proper man
ner:
In the first place remove all the blades by
hand, stripping or otherwise. The tops should
then be cut off above the upper joint, that is
those t h at are-fully beaded - out, and more taken
out such as are nbr The stball, unripe stalks of
three to four feet in height are usually of little
value; by tasting and exercisinga little: judg
ment their value may be deter mi ned; and what
is too green should be cut out entire and thrown
In small heaps and bound up separately, or with
the blades in small sheaves and set up singly or
in loose delude rows for support and fed to stock
green, or left to dry for several days ..,r a week,
and then loosely housed in an airy shed so as
not to mould. The blades, unripe seed heads
and refuse stalks make excellent fodder if well
cured. The ripe seed should be tied In sheaves
of convenient size and hung up to dry in an open
shed, or better by parting the tops and . hanging
across - the top rails of a fence until Wll dried
out. The ripest and beat seed should be selected
for planting', and none but that of undoubted
purity. When Cane of different varieties or
broom corn have been grown In close proximity
a hybrid of some sort may be expected next sea
son. Crossing any of the varieties with broom
corn produce,. a monstrous growth containing
little or no saccharine matter at all.
The cane having been divested of the heads
and tops should now he cut up close to the
ground as soon as convenient, so as not to stand
over eight-or ten days at the farthest. After
being bladed and tied in convenient sized bun
dles something like hoop-polea, hound twit'e
with blades( or straw bands, partially Wilted
blades twisted together make a Cleat and conven
ient tie, It will now be ready to take to the mail
ufactory, or can be set up in large shocks in the
open air or housed under cover if convenient.
If kept under cover any length of time it should
be set up and covered with hay or straw. It will
be found to keep much fresher and nicer expos
ed to the dews and rain, but should be protecte 1
by outside covering upon the apprehension of a
sharp frost.
The proper time to out the crop will depend
upon its maturity. When about one-half of the
seed heads are ripe, or when moat of the seed
has passed the milk state, some cultivators re
commend to cut it, others prefer leaving it to
full maturity, but In our latitude, and especially
this season, the crop is generally late, and should
be left as long as the weather will safely permit,
only be careful not to leave &ail frost occurs.
If unexpectedly caught by frost it should be cut
down at once and removed ton cool,shady place,
trimmed with as little delay as possible And taken
to the mill at once. The freezing itself does no
harm, but no sooner than the sun gets on it, or
the temperature gets on it, fermentation com
mences, the juice sours, a chemical change has
taken place, and the syrup will be worthless.
Procure new syrup barrels, or good molasses
or whisky barrels will do. Old airier and vine
gar barrels cannot be cleaned to keep syrup in
without a good chance of its spoiling.
Rosa 011 Company.—The oil trade is now
assuming such unparalleled prepottiona, and
increasing every day to such an extent, that all
men of capital are anxious to make investments.
A good opportunity to invest money in a sale
and lucrative speculation is now seized with
avidity by all, but more especially by those who
by experience have ascertained the immense
profits' that can be realized by making a guod in
vestment. We have a fair illustration of this
fast in the Boas Oil Oompany of Penang° coun
ty, which has already become so pckular and
which through the superior inducements which
it offers to persons wishing to make Invest
ments, is selling off its shares with a rapidity
scarcely equalled in the annals of the petroleum
trade. As no doubt many of our readers are de
ous of purchasing stook, we will give them a
brief outline of the superior inducements which
this company offer. The lands are conveniently
situated on the banks of the Allegheny river, to
the immediate neighborhood of Oil Oity, and
consists in fifteen acres in perpetual lease. Al
though only one well has yet been bored, which
has been in successful operation since April,
ifitlif the company have oil enough on hand to
pay a dividend during this month of two per
cent. on the capital stock and can also pay a reg
ular monthly dividend of three per cent, on the
present yield of oil. They have commenced to
bore a new well, which under successful opera
tions will increase the dividend at least two
fold. There is a large vein of oil in this tract at
a depth of 600 feet, and should a well be bored to
that depth it would render this company one of
the most wealthy in the oil regions. 'there are
in all 100,000 shales at one dollar each par value,
and there yet remains a brilliant opportunity
for investing. The company will meet on next
Saturday for the purpose of organizing.
Presentation.—On Saturday evening the
employees of the Pennsylvania Railroad- Com
pany connected with the Duquesne depot pre
sented Mr. D. it. Stewart with a beautiful
pitcher, two goblets and a salver, all of solid
silver and beautifully titled in a mahogany case:
The presentation took-place at Hubley's ice
cream saloon on Fourth street, and was attem'-
ed by all the employees of the road, together
with several other distinguished .gentlemen.
Mr. C. A. Carpenter deli% ered the presentation
speech in a few appropriate words and was re
evonded to by Mr. Stewart in a brief taut feeling
address, in which he returned his heartfelt
thanks to his fellow-laborers, bidding them a
last farewell, and expressing a eonfident hope
for their future welfare under.hie successor, Ur.
C. A. Carpenter. Each single piece contained
the following inscription: 'Presented to D. A.
Stewart, esq., as a teetimonial of esteem by the
employees of the Pennsylvania Railroad con
nected with the Duquesne depot on his.retiring
from the agency, October let, Mt..' Atter the
presentation was over the guests sat down to a
sumptuous repast, and having partaken of the
refreshments, several gentlemen were called up
on and delivered some appropriate speeches,
among otherenkir. Thomas T. O'Reilly, who act
ed as master of ceremonies during the evening.
The whole affair was highly pleasing and satis
factory to all codeerned.
Escaped Again.—The notorious deserter
Thomas Whittaker has again made his escape
from the guards, and has not as yet been recap
tared. It appears th at officer J. B. Sarber had
made every preparation to take Whittaker to
Nashville on the Western train, which leaves
this city at one o'clock a. in. Ile had been heav
ily ironed, and with a number of other prisoners
was confined in the guard room of the Girard
House to await the departure of the train. At
twelve o'clock on Friday night the officer went
to the Girard House for the purpose of taking
Whittaker to the depot, when he found that his
prisoner was gone. The handcuffs, a half inch
in thickness, including the hobble, had been
sawed in two, thus leaving the prisoner com
paratively free. One of the iron bars across the
window.of the guardroom had also been remov
ed, through which he descended to a porch la the
rear part of the building. From this hi readily
reached the ground, and passing through the
cellar, made his way to Smithfield dtreet with
out detection. He was assisted in his escape by
the other prisoners confined in the guard room.
The work was done 010 quiet* , that the guard at
the door knew nothing of It The escape was
discovered in lass than half an hour aftertvards,
and though a vigilant.search was made, he could
not be found.

one of lucid argument and cogent reasoning.
He Illustrated the principles government as
enunciated by the fathers, and explained the
platform of the party in such a way
as would admit of no cavil. The most eneoar

More of Fisher's Hill Battle
Naw Yon; October I.—A Herald
correspondent with Sheridan gives the
following account of the Fisher Hill en
gagement: At four o'clock on the after
noon of the 21st the 19th Corps suc
ceeded in driving the rebels from a line
of rifle pits on the right of the pike bet
ween Strasburg and Fisher's Hill, and
the corps was set to work immediately
to convert them into regular earthworks.
The Bth and 7th corp 4 had generally
been working around to the right, with
a view of flanking the rebels. Between
four and five o'clock r. M. a rapid ad
vance of these two corps was ordered.
They advanced so far to the right as to
be out of 'range of the rebel batteries
they had flanked, the enemy being upon
his right flank and rear.
The line was then formed with General
Crook's command upon the right, and
Getty's division of the Sixth Corps in
the centre, while the third division of
that corps formed the left, and the
western division was held in reserve. In
this order they advanced upon the ene
my's works, and after several brilliant
charges up the steep side of the hills
and through the woods and open fields,
the rebels were driven back into their
intrenchments, and in spite of the fu—
rious fusilide of the infantry, and the
shot and shell of the artillery, the posi
tion was carried at the point of the bay
onet.
When the enemy discovered that he
was flanked and beat in his lair so vig
orously, he fled with the utmost precip
itation, leaving muskets, cannon, and
all manner of military implements be
hind. The Sixth corps captured two
battle flags, and Crook's corps two more.
Sixteen pieces of cannon were captured
and about 1,500 prisoners.
The victory was complete, and the
enemy put to greater rout, if possible,
than he was in the recent battle at Win
chester. The 19th corps was still at
work upon the line of works captured
from the enemy when Gens. Wright and
Crook occupied the position. This corps
was immediately ordered up, and al
though the men threw down the pick
and spade and seized their muskets with
all possible haste, yet they did not ar
rive in time to take any prominent part
in the engagement.
The casualties in the 19th Corps
amount to about fifty killed and wouned.
Those in the Dth will probably amount
to one hundred. Nearly all the enemy's
killed and wouned fell into our hands.
Early then retreated toward Mount
Jackson, to which place he was closely
pursued, and fought step by step and at
length obliged to evacuate that place in
the night. In the morning our forces
were after them again.
Further of Grant's Advance.
FORTRESS MONROE, September 80.—
Ad vices by the hospital at earner have
arrived hero and give additional. partic
ulars regarding the action on the north
side of the James, which has thus far
proved a brilliant success. The works
captured by us are very strong and fully
equal to any the enemy have around
Richmond. Gen. Birney's corps gained
an important position seriously menac.
ing Richmond.
All accounts agree that the colored
troops behaved admirably. General
Ord's wound is slight. General Burn
ham was killed.
The latest reports received from our
army on the north side of the James
river represent everything as highly en
couraging. Our forces are within four
or five miles of Richmond this morning
(date not given), having driven the en
emy before them in confusion. We
had about 570 wounded in the action of
Thursday, a large portion among the
colored troops.
Preparations for a Conflict
Taw YORK, October I.—A Herald's
Fortress Monroe correspondent of Sep
tember 20th says: Rumors of a heavy
battle near Petersburg have been rife for
the past two days, and have caused
Treat excitement; but all inquiries into
the facts prove that nothing more than
the usual amount of picket firing has
disturbed the quiet spell in the vicinity
of the city. While, however, there has
been no pitched battle fought of late,
still everything is preparing for a most
sanguinary conflict, and the time is not
far distant when the grand and decisive
movement will be commenced, which
must result in a great Union victory.
Heavy reinforcements for the front
arc arriving daily, and either ascend the
James river in the vessels which bring
them, or are reshipped here on light
draught steamers. This morning the
ocean steamer Arago, Captain Henry
Godsden, arrived here enroute for Hil
ton Head, and discharged a large num
boa of recruits who were sent forward to
City Point.
Army: of the James in Motion.
NEW YORE, October I.—The Herald's
Army of the James correspondence, of
the 29th, says: The Army of the James
is in motion, and this fact of itself is not
deemed contraband by the military au
thorities. It may be further stated

its operations during the next few days
will be of a most important character.
The men are really in the finest spirits,
and equal to strong undertakings.
Though the movement has been organ—
ized and conducted thus far with the
greatest possible secrecy, still the most
gratifying confidence is felt and mire
servediy expressed that a great effort hi
to be made to accomplish the long de—
sired objective point of the campaign.

cavalry around his flank, that he gave
up the valley and took to the moun
tains passing through Brown Gap.
kept up the pursuit td Port Republic,
destroying 75 wagons and 4 cassons.
I sent Torbetta, who overtook me
at Harrisonburg, to Staunton, with
Wilson's division of cavalry and one
brigade of Merritts. Torhetts entered
Staunton on the 26th and destroyed a
large quantity of rebel goods, property,
harness, saddles, small arms, hard bread,
flour, repair shop, &c. He then proce
ded to Waynesboro destroying the iron
bridge over the south branch of the.
Shenandoah, 7 miles of the track, the de—
pot buildings, a good tannery, and a
1 trge amount of leather, flour, stores,
&c., at that place. He found the tunnifl
defended by infantry, and retreated via
of Staunton. It is my impression moss
of the troops which Early had left pas
sed through the mountains to Charlotte
vine, that Kersaw's division came to his
assistance, and I think passed along the
base of the mountains to Waynesboro.
I am getting from 25 to 40 prisoners dai
ly, who come from the mountains on
each side and deliver themselves up.
From the most reliable accounts Early's
army was completely broken up and is
dispirited. Kersaw had not reached
Richmond, but was somewhere in the vi
cinity of Gordonsville when received or
ders to return to Early.
The destruction of grain and forage
from here to Staunton, will be a terrible
blow to them all. The grain, forage,
&c., in the vincinty of Staunton was re—
tained for the use of Early's army. All
in the lower part of the valley was ship
ped to Richmond for the use of Lee's ar
my. The coudtry from here to Staunton
was abundantly supplied with forage,
grain, &c. (Signed)

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF POTOMAC,
September 29th. —Reports from .General
Butler's department say that the 10th
and 18th army corps crossed the James
River at Deep Bottom, and advanced
against the enemy's works at Chatln's
Farm, taking the front line of rifle pits
without resistance, and at 10 the ene
my's strong position at Chafes Bluff
was carried by assault and 800 prisoners
taken, with 18 pieces of artillery, flags,
&c. A. division of the 18th corps suffered
considerable, but to what extent is not
known. Our troops hold the position,
which is about seven miles from Rich—
mond. Heavy firing was heard late this
afternoon on our extreme left. It is be
lieved to be Gregg's cavalry engaging
the enemy. They went out on a. recon—
noisance in the direction of the South
Side Railroad, but the report of their
trip has not been ascertained.
The rebels have been back and forth
today in every direction, at one time
marching off towards ou'r left and again
returning towards Petersburg, as if' go—
ing to Richmond, then appearing in
ome other place, and finally going' out
of sight altogether.
Some deserters came in to-day who say
that the defeat of Early in the I Valley
has caused great depression throughout
the rebel ranks and thousands were
ready to leave on the first opportunity,
having lost all faith in their final suc
cess.
Brisk firing was kept up along the
centre of the line all last night between
the pickets. This morning the utmost
quiet prevails. Reports prevail that the
rebels are evacuating Petersbuig are
