Polk, President of the Unite and States, and nearly half of Mexico certain , with a pretty toler able fair chance yet for the whole CITY OF aMEXICO, Doubtful Territory, ) February, 14, 1848. } Dear Colonel: If any body asks you that impudent question again, 44 W’hat are we fightm for?” jest tell him he'sa goose,and don’t know wh .t he’s talking about, lor we amt fightin at all ; we’ve got peace now ; got an armistice, they call it; so there's no sense nt all in their putting that question to you any more. YVe.ve got the opposition fairly on the hip upon that question if no other, fairly gaged em ; they can’t say to you any long er now, 44 What nre we fightin for V’ This is some consolation for the shabby tiick Ti ist has served us.— That fellow lias made a bargain with the Mexicans to stop the war, in spite of the orders you sent to him to , come right home and let things alone l felt uneasy ; about it when 1 see him hanging about here so 4 o:ig af ter fie got his orders to come home, and 1 said to him I once or twice, 44 44 Mr. Trist what's the reason you ! don’t go ofriiome and mind the President ? This un | lawful boldness of yourn is shameful ” j “ Why. Major, ” says he,“ he that does his master’s will dot’s right, whether he goes according to orders or not. The President sent me out here to muke peace, and it’s a wonder to me if I don’t fix it yet, somehow or other, before I’ve done with it.” And then he put his finger to the side of his nose and gave ine a sassy look, as well as to say, Major Dowing you better not try to be looking into diplomatic things that’s too deep ior you. Says I, Mr. Trist, I’m astonished at you ; I thought you was a man of more judgement, and looked deeper into things. Don’t yon see what advantage it gives the President to let things now* stand jest os they le l He’s offered peace to the Mexicans, and they have re fused it, Therefore the opposition at home can’t cry out agnmst him any more if he goes abend with the war. He’ssliet their mouths up oil that score, lb smade the war popular, and can go into the Presidential cam paign now with a good chance of being elected anoth er term And now if you go dabblin m the business any more, I’m sure you’ll do mischief. As things now stand, peace is the last thing in the world that the Pres ident wants. You’ve done your errand here and got your answer, and it’s turned >ut jest right; we can go on with our annexin all Mexico now, without such tin everlasting growling among the opposition at home, for we’ve offered the Mexicans peace, and they vvould’nt take it So you've nothing to do now but to lie ofl home tor the war is jest in the rightshape as it is.” NY ell now, after ail this plain advice —for I felt it my duty to be plain with him—he still kept hanging about “ Gineral,” says l,are you going to order an uruiis ice r here, day after day and week, after week and the firs* I knew we was took all aback by being told that Sir i rist had made a treaty and Gineral Scott was to order n armistice. 1 could'nt hardly believe my ea** at first.

Yes Major Downing,” says he : 44 Mr. Trist and the Mexican Commissioners have signed the prelim inaries of a treaty, so ot course we shall have an armis tice. ” “ YY’ell now, Gineral,” says I, 44 I don’t think the President will thank you for that.” “ Can’t ..• ,) iu; t/’ says he 44 1 obey the orders of the Government, thanks or no thanks. And wnen Mr. 1 rist was sent out here to make a treaty. I was di rected, whenever the plau of a treaty should be signed oil both sides, to order an armistice, and wait for the two Governments to ratify the treaty. Well, Mr. Trist and the Mexican Commissioners have at last fix ed up some kind of a bargain and signed it, and of course according to my orders we have nothing to do but to stand still and wait for the two Governments to clinch the nail.” “ But,” says 1, 44 Gineral, you know Mr. Trist has no right to make a treaty any more than I have, tor the President has ordered him to come home ; and if he lias made a treaty, it’s no better thau a piece of blank paper, and vou shouldn’t mind it.” 4 ‘ Don’t know any thing about them matters,” says he, “I can’tgo behind the curtain to inquire what little manoeuvres are going on between the President and Ins Commissioner. Mr. Trist came out here with his regular commission to make a treaty He has brought me a treaty, signed by himself and the Mexican Com missioners ; and my o.ders are to cease hostilities.

Here his iova began, and his sorrows ended, but his poetry still breathes its inspirations in all we see around. Perhaiis there have been very few scenes more flat tering to the genius of a fioet than the one exhibited at the sale of Gray’s manuscripts, at Evans's auction room in Bond Street in ihe winter of 1845 Eve ry scrap of l his writing was eagerly bought up. llis Elegy, on one sheet of paper, was purchased for one hundred pounds ; i and his Odes for one hundred guineas. A letter sold lor eleven guineas ; and almost every thing else in propor t:on. But what struck me more than anything else at | the sale of these numerous and interesting manuscripts, was the fact, that, from nearly his earliest boyhood to ihe latest period of hts life, everything hud been writ-j ten with an extreme neatness ever eharacieristieof the poet. Indeed there was a degree of elegance in ali lie wrote, which, perhaps, has never been surpaved.— i One of his favorite studies was Natural History, and this is shown by the marginal notes which he wrote in! hiscopy of Limueus, and in Hu Ison s Flora Anglica.— j He almost entirely filled the tenth edition oi the Systema 1 Nature; of Lumajus with notes and observations. He’ appears to have read Aristotle’s treatise on Zoology,! and explained some difficult passages iu it, in conse quence ot his own observations. It was evident, also, that he understood all the rich ‘ varieties of Gothic architecture, which he probably stu died in his vouth when he was abroad, lie also aequi- * red a considerable knowledge of heraldry, and left be hind him many genealogical papers which proved him to have become master of the subject. His notes in t . cit -afue of the pictures at Wilton, ‘ show that h * h ’ n fine taste mt painting, and his sket< lies not omy iu me Systema Nature?, of the heads of birds, and insects, both in th-ir natural size and magnified, with some other drawings, prove that he was no mean proficient in the art of drawing. Nor was he ignorant of music, if we may judge by what had belonged to him, and winch was sold with hu; ; books and manuscri] ts Gardening would appear to have been a favorite amusement ot Gray's, hut especially floriculture; a id in Ins pocket journals, some of which were sold, he no ticed the opening of leaves and flowers, as well ns of the birds, insects, (fee , seen by him at different peri ods, and much of his time must have been passed iu ‘ these studies Bm (m much smaller matters he bestowed attention A friend of mine purchased ut the sale of his library*, a 1 hook ot cookery, n which he hud entered observations on the dishes ot Mona. St Clouet and Mr. W. Veriai, and which the poet has altered and amended. The fly-leaves are filled with receipts for savory slews and 1 hashes, and he remarks that he had tried one and found it bad I , Such is a short sketch ol some of the acquirements ol 1 Gray. But it is in his poetry that we trace his talents ! : and genius: and how much ol it is connected with this ! neighborhood in which he lived, and how much has he added to its interests ! Hi church-yard, as Dr. John- 1 son observed, “ abounds with images which find a mir- 1 ror in every mind, and with sentiments to which every bosom returns an ecno.” It may also tie said o! Gray, ! that he was oneot those few p rsons in the annals ol literature, who did not write tor the hake ot profit ; he ■ evidently shunned the idea of being thought an author iby profession. Whether tins was owing to a certain degree ot pride, to his high sense of honor, or to his good breeding, may remain a doubt, but he certainly did not seek h*r advantages from lus literary pu suits. While he was staying with his relations at Stoke, j Guy wiotc u,J sect i.. a.s lriend West, UuU beauniul Ode on Spring, which begins— “ Lo ! where the rosy bosom’d hours, Fair Venus’ tram, appear, Disclose the long exacting flowers, And wake the purple year!” ffcc. This ode he sent, as soon as he had written it, to Mr 1 West, but he was dead before the letter which enclosed it had arrived. It was returned to him unopened.— The ode presents a kind ol presentiment ol t ie death of ; one so much be loved, urid the lines, so welt known to ! | the admirers of Gray, are extremely pathetic and beau | tiful. Mr. West died ill the twenty-sixth year of his age, I and this circumstance adds a.doubie interest to this beau | tilui ode. | The Ode to Adversity, ami that on a distant prospect of hton, were both ol them written within three months alter the death of Mr. West. liisMorrow, also, for this event, wasahowu in a very affectionate sonnet, which I concludes thus— ” 1 fruitless mourn for him that cannot hear. And weep the more, because 1 weep in vain.” But it was as a lover oi nature—of these little incidents in rural life—of facts and circumstance!* ill w hat he su w around hail, whether the varied scenery of Stoke, the “beetle with hit drowsy hum,” and **!:. ling t! ,ii.’ ot the complaint of the “moping owl,” that G-a .

I. Gentlemen :— sSorne time since I informed you of the ; success attending the efforts of some of our farmers in South-Western Georg n.nt making Sugar for family use As this subject is claiming much of (he attention of our farmers. I beg leave to present the following hints t for the use of those who may not understand the art, or . “’ho may not have access to stnndard works and treatises I on this subject: Tru e,complete /meres* requires much skill nndexpe rience in the manufacturer; and notwithstanding their ’ experience, and the inprovenients in the machinery for , ha manufacture,our Louisiana planters have not attain- I j ed, in all respects that perfection in the art which is I common to the West india planter, owing, probably, to the fact that the Cane in that country is more fully rmi tnred Inn ours, by the difference of the seasons. Al though the quality and quantity of the Sugar depends j muc i upon the quality of the Cane, and the value of ! die Cn ie depends upon the qu hty and properties of | the soil wham produces it, still I shall say nothing about its culture, (as our Georgia planters think they know I enough about planting without the use of agricultural | ami chemical works,) and confine myself simply to the manufacture of Sugar, with some notice of the principle defects in the ordinary mode of manufacturing. My remarks are intended simply ns a guide to those who wish, with a little “domestic economy,” to render thein selves independent of foreign supply. “ according to modern chemists, is a true es sential Halt, capable of chrystalixation,” and its man ufacture is .purely u cheimcni process, it is held in solu tion m the ‘‘mother water” or juice of the cane, und by the process of boiling is preci itated by chrystalnation or granulation, and this is the whole “secret” of making iSugar. All chemical resolutions have been the result of ex periment*. Indeed experimental induction forms the basis of “chemical science, and in this process, success depends much upon the experience ami practical good i tense of ihe manufacturer. The brat step is grinding or expressing the juice from the Cane, the next clarifying and boiling, and the last cooling, chrystalization or granulation and dripping.— Cii these points I desire to express myself intelligibly and without any regard to technicalities. Ist. The Cane intended for Sugar sliould Ik* ground | immediately after being gathered, or placed where it w ill not be exposed to tin- sun, or allowed to wilt—for u‘- soon as the watery mu*stance of the cane begins to evaporate, tbe sad irriue matter begins to chyrstalize, and adhearuig to the tihiesoi the stalk, cannot be easi ly expressed; and the Cane, after passing through the 1 mill, retains much of its sweetness. Again, it is impor tant that the Cane used for Sugar should be ful'.y ma tured, and care should he be taken to cutoff all tf )e top part of the stock tiiut is not ripe, for although apparent -1 ly lull of juice, it contains very little sacharrine matter, and which, being mixed with the juice of the rij>e Cane, ! eat sea it more easily to ferment and become acid, which j •vill require more liuie to neutralize it and more boiling to evaporate its wate.y substance, if it do not materially ‘ prevent granulation and injure, the quality and reduce ! the tjuaniiiy of Sugar. Tut part thus cut off, that is , not fully matured, would make good Molasses,and pro- j oably an indifferent Quantity of Sugar Again, the ; juice of the ( aue should not be expressed till every prep- | oration is made for immediate boiling,for the moment tnc ; juice is expressed fermentation begins,which will require j a gieater quantity of lime to correct the acid, and the use of lime discolors the juice and injures the complex ion of the Care s.*uuid also be taken to have the Cane asclean ns puraible when carried to the mill, that no foreign matter may be mixed with the juice. I say nothing of the machinery tor grinding, as they are , numerous through the country liuf well known 2d. The next step after expressing the mice, is to boil 1 and clarily it and just here rests all the difticul- | ty of manufacturing Sugar. On large sugar es- ! tales, the process of boiling and clarifying is com- j i plicated. There they have compound furnaces with clarifying pores, and some three or f our boilers, through all which me juice passes and is boiled j i I**fore it readies the s which many cheni- i ical means are used to render the juice colorless, iam j ; however, only writing for those who wish to uianufac- . tare for “family use” and uot for export, and shall not i consider th?se points, hut 1 ain persuaded that much un j necessary expense is incurred in trying to clarify the juice, since in the act of christalizatioti the sugar dis engages itself from ail foreign mutter and forms a purs chrystal very much in the way that ice is formed pure t from muddy water. During the progress of boiling und as soon us it begins, keep all the scum that ris s on i the syrup well cleared off. In boiling the heat should ibe uniform and moderate; if boiled too hastily it burns and is daik and also becomes candied, an that the mo- I iusses sticks to the grains, w ill not drip tieely, and makes the sugar moist and of a high colour. To those who have not the instruiienis to dele inline the temper ature ot the boiling liquid, it requires experience. Vhe ! temperature can be judged well by observing the ebulh- j linns ol the liquid, which as before observed, sliould be . moderate and uniform. The boiling process is simply : to separate the watery substance of ih*- juice and to ; make it sufficiently inspirited tor granulation, and in llie *'hoi haste” with which the process is generally carried on, it is e tber burnt or boiled to a candy, nnd 1 , the result is unsucct asful. Dunng tle process of boiling, , the liquor should he frequently stirred or agitated with a wooden ladle, so as to disengage ail the feculent matter ;in it, that it may rise to the top and be removed by skimming. Alter it is sufficiently evaporated by a uni j form and moderate heat to proper consistency, it is ihen removed to the coolers, and the next process is— -3d Ir.s granulation and defecation or dripping When the Syrup begins to cool and chrystahxation commences much injury is done by agitating or stirring the Sj-upw'ith a view’ to hasten the cooling of it I When n i) gins to form chrysmls, it should be slowly , ag .re I dimply to prevent ns concretion into lumps, or j to t:i Ooitom and sides ol lire c.-oleis, and to foiui a J tine grain. If during chrystalization it be too much ag | itated, it makes an irregular granulation, causes tne ‘ Syrup to mix w ith and dissolve the Sugar in part, and | the result will be an agglomeration of Sugar and Mo- } 1 lasses, which will he hard to drip, and the Sugar will , always be damp and savour strongly of Molasses As with boiling, so with drain ng or dripping the Sugar ; it is carried on on large estates with considerable expense, upon scientific principles too elaborate to discuss here J Suffice it to say, that if the Syrup be carefully boiled so as not to be cnudied : and in cooling it is not too much siiired, that the process ol dripping, tor ull ordinary pur- j puses, can be easily effected by putting the Sugar into a ! barrel with holes perforated m the bottom, through i which tin* Moiasses will freelv drip by us own giavita- j tion. and in a very snort time he lit for family use. From what I have said, the lo.'iowmg pa ticulara em- j bracing the whole process ol manufacturing fcJigur may i i be gleam'd. Ist Extract the iuicc from matured cane; iininedi afely after it is gathered, or place it where it will not wilt till wanted tor the mill. 2d The iu ice should be boiled immediately after it 1 is exnrentrj from the can*- to prevent fermentation, if al . h 1 i* a small qusniuy of tresli lime. 3,1 The heat tdioulJbe sufficient only to cause tlie 1 juice to boil freely, and the temperature must be uni form. 4th During the process of boiling, the Syrup auould Is* stirred so as to diergb . e n |j f,. t uletn matter, which, r.stng to the surlur*, be clearly removed by sk miming. I •'th. Tnc process of boiling should be continued till it | is of a propel consistency foi granulation. At this p.unt tiie Syrup ureaeiitt ail appearance an* feeling which a practiced hand rendily discover*, and which without instruments can only be ascertained by practical expe rience. t>th After sufficient evaporation hy boiling, and the 1 Syrup is poured into coolers, cure should be taken nH j to stir n too much, with a view of ttooiiug a ja*t I Hie Sugar will be injured by stirring too much 7th After a has granulated trout oft the Molusaca, I place the Sugar in a drainer. It properly lulled the j Sugar will tie while and clear ; it boiled too much, and hastily, th• Myrup will be candied, and adhere to the • Sugar, injuring iin complexion and taste.
