REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.--We di.
reel attention to the Real estate advertised
to be sold in to•day's paper by Messrs. Rine

titled by Jacob E. Price.
USEFUL INVENTION.- 1 -We direct the
special attention of farmers this week to the
advertisement of "Geiser's Patent Selfregw.
kiting Grain Separator, Cleaner and Bagger,'.'
Which will be found in [Motile. Column. It
is one of the most perfect . machines of the
kind.now in use, and is, we learn, being rap
idly introduced into agricultural communi
ties, both far said near.
GLORIOUS NEI - VS.—The latest news
from the Shenandoah Valley is glorious, in
deed. Early completely routed, with a loss
of from 3,000 to 5,000 killed and wounded,
2500 priseners, 5 pieces of artillery and 9

Peace Commissioners.
GROWERS OF SORGIIO.—An article
furnished the Valley Spirit by Messrs. Ry
der & Stouffer, in relation to the mode of
harvesting Sorgho and preparing it for the
the mill will be found in another.column.—
Both have had Considerable experience in
the cultivatiori of the cane and manufacture
of the syrup, and the information furnished '
may be deemed reliable.?
Messrs. J. & B. Frick, of Ringgold, have
nearly completed their arrangements for the
manufacture of the syrup upon an extensive
scale and will be ready to operate hi a few
days. They have given the matter their
Fpecial attention and will be enabled no doubt
to give general satisfaction. An' advertise
ment will appear next week.
ROWDYISM.. ; --On Saturday even - last.a
spirited Union meeting was held in this place
• which was addressed by Gen. W. H. Koontz,
candidate for Congress in this District, M.
'S. Newcomer, and Col Stumbaugh, of Chain
bersburg. On Monday - evening the Demo
crats held an equally spirited gathering,
• which 'was addressed by Messrs. Stenger,
Sharp and Judge Kimmel, all of Chambers
burg. We regret that attempts should have
been made to interrupt the meetings At
the first it appears tomatoes were thrown and
on Monday evening several eggs. Of course
:Ibis was the work
.of boys, fur certainly no
man would be guilty. of an act, so disreputa
ble. Such proceedings are disgraceful to
our town, and citizens of both parties should
set their faces against a re-occurrence of
them in the fu tore. Hereafter a strict watch
'ihotrld:bo kept. on such occasions and the
guilty parties if detected should be punish
ed with 'the utmost rigor of the law. If pa
, •r
rents cannot keep their children . in doors
— thei should' at least •couusel them and en
deavor to instill in them better morals.

Reports are conflictinn. a as to the number
of' cattle driven o ff by the rebels. Some say
that they got thirty five hundred, while oth
ers report the number at less than ono, thou
sandoind the latter figure is believed - to be
the'nearest 'to the truth. Paesengerts by the

ed in carrying off the entire number, about
2,500 head. _

hundred men,-and • of course cod a:not make

of the enemy. The attack was made just
before daylight yesterday morning, and• the,
men attempted to open the fence and stam- 1
pede the cattle, so as to get them nearer our
troops, but they were, shot at while making
the effort.
Capt. Richardson, commissary of subsis
tence, had charge of the herd which was the
main supply for: the army in front of Rich
mond. He had scarcely time to save his pa
pers, and his men lost their entire effects.--
It.was thought that the entire lot would be
rettaptnred.
'Beyond the usual connonading•and picket
firing, there is nothing transpiring of.impnt
tance at our immediate front, though our
troops are watohful in view of expected de
monstrations by the enemy.
LARGE DESERTIONS PROWLIE'S AWAIT—SEVERN REBEL
CONSCRIPTION. •
SPRG HO PLANTER§ !=. 7 -11arvestinfir the,
Crops.--This important question is [Mr ask
ed, inquiringly, how, when, and 'in what
manner it must be done. We would say .
Maly tits; In the first, 'place remove all
the( blades by hand, stripping or otherwise ;
a little practice will teach how to , do it ex:
peditiously by hand. -The tops should then
be cut ellahori the apperjoint; that inthose
that are ifully headed: oul,, and more taken oil
such. at are not. Thetmall unripestalts -of
three to fotrrieetin height,' are usually of
littlo stns ;by hinting and exercising alittle
judgment their value may bo determined;
and what is too green •should be cut out en:
tire and thrown in shall heaps and bound up
separately, Or with the blades in small sheaven
and set up singly or in loose double rows for
support, and fed to stook green, .or left. to
dry for several days , or a - week, and then
loosely housed in an airy shed so as 'not
to, mould, the blades, unripe - seed hernia, and
refuse stalks make e,x.collent fodder if well
cured. •
The ripe seed shcilild be - tied in i sheaves of
convenient size, and,lrunr , up to 'dry in, an
open shod, or better by parting the tops and
hanging across the top rails of a fence, • unti`l
well dried out. Tho ripest and best seed
should be selected for planting, and none but
that of undoubted purity. , Where cane of
different varieties or broom • corn have been
grown in close proximity; a hybrid of some
sort may
any-of tbo varieties - trial - broom corn produ
ces a monstrous growth containing little. or
no sacharine matter at all.
Cutting Up.—The cane having been, di
vested of the blades and tops,,should now be
cut up close to the ground, as' soon as con
venient, so as not to stand over eight or ten
days at farthest. After being bladed and
tied in convenient sized bundles something
like hoop poles, bound twice with . blades or
straw bands, partially wilted blades twisted
together, make a neat and convenient tie, it
will now be ready to take to the manufacto.
ry, or can be set up in, largo shocks in the
open air, or housed under cover if conven
ient. 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 fresh
er and nicer exposed to the dews and rain,
but should be protected by outside covering
upon the apprehension of a sharp frost.
The Proper Time to Cut the Crop.—This
will depend upon its maturity. When about
one-half of the seed heads are rape, or when
most of the sped has passed the milk state,
some cultivators re commend to cut-it, others
prefer leaving it to full maturity, but incur
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 it until frost occurs; if
unexpectedly caught by frost it should be
cut down at once and removed to a cool sha
dy place, and trimmed afterward — With as lit
tle delay as possible, and taken to .
,the mill
at once. The freezing itself does no harm,
but no sooner than the sun 'gets on fit, or
the tempetature oties, fermentation commen
ces, the Jujee sours, o f • ehemieal change has
taken place;: and the syrup 'mill be worthless
AS'yrußAirrels.—Proeuth these new, or
good molasses or whiskey barrels will do, old
cider and vinegar barrels cannot be cleaned
to keep syrup in , without a good chance of
its spoiling.
SOT OUR FAULT.—A couple of sub
scribers at Greencastle complain that of late
they have not received on an average more
than ono copy copy,of the REdOILD' per month
We are certain that the paper is regularly
mailed here and would advise These patrons
make inquiry' of their' Post Master, With
whom the "fault must lie. We , would not
charge the worthy "officiar .with_ incompe

Headquarters Army of The Potomac, Sept.
18.—Ottr troops, who started in pursuit of
the raiding party that carried off the cattle,
did not Succeed in overtaking the rebels in
their retreat. The latter had too much the
start, and safely effected their 'escape' 'With
the entire herd, numbering 2,485, together
with sixteen of the herders, but two of these
were killed.
The enemy, when first discovered, bad al.
most completely surrounded the herd and its
guard, and only a small number of the latter
effected theif escape.
The loss of the guard and the Ist District
of Columbia Cavalry is not known,"but it was
quite large. A few stragglers and a squad
who were running off a crowd of negroes
were picked up by our troops and brought
in.. •
The cattle were a part of,the supply for
the troops operating against Richmond, arid
not for the Army of the Potomac 'generally,
and the herd was under the charge of Capt.
Richardson.
Lieutenant General Grant has issued an
order that no spirituous, malt or vinous liq
uors shall be allowed to come into the armies,
excepting through the commissary and med
ical departments. This was induced by the
largo amounts brought down by sutlers and
others on orders from officers, but which was
usually kept on sale by dealers,
who -thus
managed to evade the former orders issued
in the matter. •
