We mentioned ome days cm that a sample of syrup bad bet-.n left a ith ns by iir. Coates. of Hen rico county, ir whicii tbcro wai a large deposit of vngar, the result of the gradual evaporation of the syrnp. We have now, through the rime gentle man, a specimen of clear, dry, wc;!-3avorcd sugar, of a rich, bright cTor, obta:ncl by mire straining and drying, from the syrup ab vc referred t. The fact that so excellent an article of sngarean " be made from snrgh.ttn li of great interest to onr people. Every farmvr can now render himself in dependent of the high prices of the grocer, by pro ducing his own sugar. Ii has long been denied that sugar ean be otusined from sorghum at all ; and we believe all the experinysU hercfofbre made have failed of that object. It will be an acceptable ervic. therefore, to publish the process by which it has been made, as the specimen before ns atte.--ts. The discovery is an ncct-ient, and was made by a neighbor of Dr. Coatus", a practical man, unac quainted with the theories cf the fOvfci or tho ex periment of otters. In last October bo bofled the Juice of his tortihnra fop three hours in a wide moatbI boiler. lie took the molasses thai obtain ed aad put it away, iitendiug to use it as such. It ehaseed that it was pui into a vcmcI with a wide and opea tori a stone jar, or a common chum, we as not sura wfcVf a. A thta et.v -V.V -vrm tied over the top, sj a protection. A to weeks" s.go, ea examtniae; the eyiwp, tt was discovered that a large deposit nfngsr had besi m-dv the reeait,. doubtless, of thr slow evaporation allowed - by the eotton cloth. This a a taken ont. tlel in a cloth, aad allowed to Uip, nn I was then drieil, aad tbe result was tbe sugar before u. What imprortmeml can be discovered upon this mode cf obtaining st-gar from sorghum remains to "be teen. Bat it ' i tv great Kiint gamed to know that sugar may thus 'e made and mada so simply. Tba experimentr herttf.re instituted have, we be lieve, all relied on rapid boiling. TUrs obtains ro sugar, but simply eonverU tbe syrup into a black, bitter stnfl". Bt for pothicg. The failure of the rap id process and tbe saeess of the vdow, both point to gentle evaperation as ia Ji?ponaide. be! her it may not bJatcued by tbe application of mod er st a beat and bow f.r this may h adrantageously done, are points to be investigated. With time and tatleno :he pro-iess, as we hare seen, ia extremely simple. We doubt nt that by procr investigation and pains a mod ol expediting the transforma tion will ba reaeily discovered. TLe facts estab- tablisbcd by the discovery we have described, will serve as guides lo further inquiries. Rich, Sen. Lite mow MxitiBiAj.

Ki V?r Wiski.k. Attack on the Danville HoadlHMcat of tUe Enemy. We had tbe satisfaction of learning, at a late hour last night, that communication" are again open with Petersburg and Richmond by tbe regu lar line via Wcldoa. This looks as if Gen. Ic had disposed of tir.int pretty effectually, and we shall no dosbt bavo to chronicle in a day or two, tbe favorable results of a great battle between them at or near ReeVa's Stales, ten miles this side of PeUrsburg, where the Yankees have been in heavy force, and wenf well fortified. Hat they aro nut titers aorr, and they have not left from choice. A larg yankee raiding or marauding parry, s.ikhi strong, have been aperatiog on tbe Danville I.nil road for severat ilay fast. Tbey saeee-dled in de stroying tho juvetioa (Oorksville) ami Mefierrin stations, aad advanced last Saturday afternoon up tbe road to Staaaton lUver Brnlge, Tbey made four fierce assaults upon our troops stationed there, and were each time successfully repulsed. Their loss in killcj and wounded was 2j'l: oors'X billed and 24 wounded. A great and gratif) iug disparity . During their retreat Saturday night, Geo. Fil.. Lee, with 700 cavalry, daahod into their rear and put them la flight. Tbey took a road on which 3en. DeariBg was advancing, and it is t'vulit the entire force will bo killed or captured.

But lie conclndea thns : "The 1'nitcd Sutes, c insistently with tbeir principles, ennnot do otherwise than leave thi des tinies of Mexico to the keeping of its own people, and n e tgnize their sovereignty and indepondente n whatever for;;i they tbemselrea sbnll choose that this sovereignty and independence shall bo mani Jested.'' This rapid interchange of notes, two being inter cbaiicr''l each way nt intervals of only fourteen lays for each, sly.ws the importance assigned to the iiniler.-tauding which was desired by both sides. Tt is perfectly plain that Mr. Seward renounced all ground of opposition to the establishment of a in.i:iurtliie,il toveriinieut by foreign interference. rc pt n to the question of the time when it should lc considered t lc aelually establishcl. "TJh this position of afTiirs, the popular branch of t 'ongr--?', trans4Tti'ling its proper functions as a branch of tho Government, pronounces, by a nnnni mons vote, that the recognition of au Kmpire in Mexico is not in accordance with the sentiments of tbo it oplo. The declaration was inoveii by Mr. II. '. Winter Davis, of Maryland, a violent parfaan of w.ir and atxilition, but a very decidod adversary of Mr. I.incelii and Mr? Seward. It contains an un ! iiesitoiiiiln vole of censure on tbe position to I which Mr. Seward has advanced in the question, j ind adroitly took hold of a popular passion p sue- cssfitlly that tbo only coirso loft for the mends or Mr. Lincoln to adopt was to join heartily in the 'yittiiciutioii of the principle, and look subsequently or the niejiiis of averting its eonsequencet from the aeads id the Prrnrlent arfil Secretary. The ready excdat are to insist that Mr. Seward has 'only :ncant to temporise and stave off collision until tho civil war i terminated and tho United States are la it coudi.t ion to resume their old msition; and that n rescrvitig tho qiit'stion whether and when the Kmpire is Mtflieiently cstahlishoil to be entitled to be recognized. Mr. Seward covered enough ground to keep the control of tho matter in bis own hands, la oon 6 nil at ion of this view, it is now said that Mr. Seward has made haste lo caution Mr. Dayton not jv;ive l!io French (loverniacat any aavtaniBce of ,1a ..V,il mf Al rtxijMt Im. - There is in all of this aery ecstowa eoeisrqnenece, which the promoter of this inorcment did net ao riousfy ronsifK:r. The popular branch of Congress has been hurried into a formal dcclaraiioa that fhe tionditionnn which alone tbe French Government rwtk tka iwcurity of tbo tJovernment of Maximil ian froTh tbo hostility of tho United States, wltboal irbi:-h aeeiirity Franoe cannot quit Mexico, will not accepted by the American jsjopls.
