COLUMBUS:
Monday Morning, September 26,1864.
What ia thi Fotobb or Our Omrsdira
ot ?—Our future is to fifht—to fight while
on aaemy polutes our soil—to fight os long ac
they deny our rights—to fight until wdop«n>
deuce is achieved—to fight as long as we
have men willing to battle for homes, for chil
dren, for liberty, for all they bold dear. We
have suffered toe muoh, says the Macon Index,
endured too much, lost (oo much, to fail now
in the achievement of all for which sack a
great price was paid. Hope still looms up
grandly and gloriously before us ; liberty and
happiness, and prosperity still lure us on to
the mighty and magnificent prize for which
we struggle ; and while such is the case—
while success is almost in c*nr grasp, shall we
ignomiuiously falter ? Never! Southerners,
be stout of heart—be firm — be unfaltering.—
Dare what seems a cruel lot. It only leads
to the grtgter glory. ’Tis the brave, the un
yielding, the determined, that fortune favors.
But deserve her smile by your gallantry, and
all the has is ypurs.
(Jin. Biaurbsaro—We learn,from the Ra
leigh Confederate that General Beauregard
was in Raleigh on the 16th inst., and spet.t. i
most of his time with Governor Vance. On j
his arrival at Greensboro’ the cars were closed !
round by a throng of citizens of all ages and j
both sexes, to catch a glimpse of the immor- i
tal hero. Being waited upon, says, the Greens
boro’ Citizen, Gea. Beauregard presented him
self at the car platform and after the band fin
ished a patriotic air, he made them all a hand
some, encouraging, conversational speech.—
He said we had been crowned with many vic
tories; that we must look for some reverses;
that every rose has its thoras, and we are, ev
er and anon, to feel them ; that he never des
pairs even in the midst of the most terrible
battles; that all is going well at Richmond
and Petersburg; that we must endure, hope
and fight, and our iudependeace will be vouch
safed by the wise and benificent Ruler of the
Universe.
The Courier des Etats Unis says the South
ern press has just published a singular docu
ment, intercepted by the Confederates. It is
a letter by Mr. F. P. Blair to Mr. Everett, da
ted the 24th of August, 1854. The writer of
the epistle manifests in it the most lively fears
of a European intervention, and declares that
he proposed to Hr. Lincoln an alliance offen
sive and defensive with France, in view of a
possible corniest with Britian. In order the
better te insure himself of French neutrality,
he would conclude a treaty of commerce
of the 'greatest advantage te France.
In case of a failure in this direction, Mr. Lin
coln could address himself to Russia, which
would be happy at an alliance that would give
it the command of the sea. It appears that
the President, evidently advised on the proj
ects of France and England, did not agree
with the propositions of Mr: Blair.
Murdered by Escaped Prisoners. —We are j
informed, gays the Charleston Mercury, that,
a couple of escaped Yankee prisoners com- j
nutted a foul murder on Tuesday last, within i
a fevy miles of George’s Station. It appears j
that, a young lad named Horn, accompanied |
by a negro, with a two horse wagon, went from i
George’s Station a milt or two for a load of
wood. They were met by tw o armed Yankees
who wanted to take possession of the herses.
The Yankees cut the traces and set the ani
mals free. During the operation, young Horn
resisted, and finally one of the Yankees 6hot
him through the neck. The discharge of the
gun frightened the horses, and in the melee,
the negro mounted one ot them and galloped
iff, when the other animal followed. Young
Horn lived only a f«w hours.
When the information reached George’s,
Station, some fifteen or twenty gentleman went
immediately in pursuit of the Yankee murder
ers, and, it is hoped, that before this time
they have succeeded in capturing them.

The Rapidan Raid.
This affair is over. The enemy having
burned the Rapidan bridge and committed
sundry other depredations, the most import
ant of winch were mentioned yesterday, they
were aroused by the sound of a locomotive
whistle in their rear. It being evident that
they had cut off a train at Culpepper Court
House through which place, it appears, they
did not come—ihey stated back to capture it.
The train come nearly up to the bridge and
was skneking away in the most frantic and
distressed manner imaginable. The raiders
were sure of haviug a good thing of it, anil
hastened towards the scene of distress. And as
icey came in sight, the train commenced mov
ing back slowly, a8 if almost out of steam.—
Nothing could have been more excessively
rich to the raiders, and they followed, full of
fun. But the train kept on backing, jest out
of range, until suddenly the raiders received
a volley of musketry, several hundred of Con
federate soldiers sprung upon them r and a
fierce light ensued. A large number of hordes
that bad been captured by the enemy were
recaptured, many of them were killed and
wounded, and, with the exception of some
taken prisoners, the rest were dispersed, and,
it is supposed, made their escape. There is
some doubt as to where these raiders came
from. The genera] impression yesterday whs
that they came out from Alexandria, and made
» circuit down through Prince William, Staf
ford and the lower part of Culpeper, from the
fact that they avoided Culpeper Court House
in their oourse. This is a matter of little, mo
ment, bowever ; ig the most important part of
Se question is settled with tolerable satistac
tion. — Rich. Enquirer. *

POLITICAL NXWS.
The Cincinnati Inquirer, published at the
home of George A. Pendleton, haa the follow
ing with reference to the coarse of the New
York News :
The telegraph informs as that the New
York News has repudiated the nomination of
General McClellan, and favors the reassem
bling of the Convention to nominate another
candidate. The reason assigned is the objec
tionable character of his letter of acceptance.
As an original peace paper, and speaking, as
we believe, the sentiments of the Western de
mocracy, we say to the News that this sugges
tion cannot be entertained for one moment by
tbe people. General McClellan is the regularly
nominated democratic candidate, and no man
t professing democracy should have any hesU
’tancy in preferring his election to that of
Abraham Lincoln, the only other alternative.
The Columbus (Ohio) Crisis says that Mc-
Clellan impudently upsets tbe Chicago plat
form and sets up oue of his own, acd that his
letter contains—
Not a woid about an “armistice,a cessa
tion of hostilities, &c.; bat'he falls back on
the war as commenced by Lincoln, and which
he then approved and approves still. The
Crisis opposed a war before one was inaugu
rated ; it opposed Lincoln’s war when he com
menced it; we opposed it through all its
stages, from first to last, and shall continue to
oppose it, whether carried on on Lincoln’s or
McClellan’s “plan" of coercing sovereign
States, instead of calling a convention of such
States, that they may 3ettle their difficulties
and preserve State rights. Coercion is des-*
potism—a concolidated empire—a lO3S of lib
erty to States and citizens, and exchanging a
“vigorous nationality” for a constitutional
government. We are not bound in tbe least
to support any man who repudiates the very
platform upon which he was nominated, and
who makes one for himself. These things are
worthy of some consideration at leas* before
sensible men jump at conclusions. A frauds
lent sale is not binding in law.
THE PEACE MEN IN COUNCIL.
The Columbus correspondent of the Cincin
nati Commercial writes (September 13th) as.
follows :
The peace men have just concluded an ex
tended conference.
Aleck Long yesterday offered a resolution
in caucus that another ticket be nominated.
Citizen Corry and he made violent speeches
on the subject. This evening they received a
dispatch from a similar caucus iu New York
city, composed of delegates from all parts of
the country, advising that, under the circum
stances, it was best not to nominate another
ticket. They then adjourned sine die without
taking any action, but tacitly agreeing to sup
port the ticket.
George Pugh and others hare been urging
Vallandighara to take the stump ; but he re
fuses. So the peace men have resolved to do
nothing.
MOVEMENTS OF VAT.LANUIQHAM.
The Cincinnati correspondent of the ObU
cago Times writes under date of September
10th:
Mr. Vallandigham is in this ci v to-night.
The associated press dispatch from Columbus
to-night does him great injustice. While Gen.
McClellan’s letter does not please Mr. Vallan
digham, he has no intention of any revolution
ary measures regarding the said letter. Mr.
Vallandigham is not in favor of any other
convention or nomination, but would like a
modification or explanation of some points of
i the letter.
GEN. LOGAN AND THE VICE PRESIDENCY-
The Chicago Tribune (Republican) says:
This noble officer, the friend of Douglas, ;
was importuned by several leading Democrats j
to allow his name to be used for the Vice j
Presidency at Chicago. But Gen. Logan un
qualifiedly refused. He told these gentlemen j
he did not train with that crowd ; that he was i
a War Democrat—not a peace snsek ; that, he j
was opposed down and supplicating
forgiveness at the feet of Jeff. Davis; that he
was for au honorable, permanent peace, which '
could only be obtained by overthrowing armed ;
rebellion and compelling the insurgents to '
yield obedience to the Constitution and the !
laws, and that he would never consent to
make peace on any terms that did not embrace
a complete restoration of the Union in all its
territorial integrity.
THE MAINE ELECTION.
Augusta, Me., Sept. 10th, 1864. — Official
returns have been received from two hundred
and seventy-five citie3, towns and plantations,
showing a total vote of 85,052, and a majority
for Gov. Cony of 15,316.
The total vote yet to be heard from will
amount to about 25,000, and will increase
Gov. Cony's majority to nearly 18,000, or
about the same a3 last year.
The total vote of the State will be nearly
10,000 less this year than last.
Returns from 119 representative districts
show the election of one hundred aud two Uu>
ion and seventeen Democratic representatives
to the Legislature.
The Senate is unanimously Union, and every
county in the State ha3 been carried by the
Union party.
j The Peace Conference. —We have a pretty
I reliablo report of the result of the informal depu
j tation to Gov. Brown to invite him to a peace con
ference with Gen. Shermau. The latter had this
project much at heart, and sent as his messenger a
gentleman well known, of high social position in
Georgia, to whom he tendered written credentials,
if desired. He professed great unwillingness to
penetrate farther into Georgia and inflict the same
devastation and misery which were *owp broadcast
in his rear. Ho sent an invitation to Gov. Brown
and offier prominent gentlemen to come up and
talk the matter over with him, and see if seme
scheme could not bo devised to withdraw Georgia
from the war and save her people from further
suffering. He would like, if Governor Brown de
sired it, that the latter should ride over the State
Road to Chattanooga, see “the condition of his
people in his rear, and realize among them the
strong claims upom his sympathies it presented.”
\ The reply of Gov. Brown, w# understand, was very
| much to this effect: Teli Gen. Sherman that I
understand him to be only a general of one of the
, Federal armies, whiie lam merely a governor of
; one ot tho Confederate States. I dont tee how we
can negotiate ; or, if we should undertake it, how
i our negotiations can lead to any practical result.

Syrup of Chinese Cane.
Mr. Editor: Having had some experience
in the manufacture of the above named article,
as well as observation and research on the
subject, I beg your indulgence that I may con
tribute what I can to the general good. I
find two faults with all that I have seen pub
lished of late on the subject; one article is
too scientific for tbe fixtures commonly in use,
and another is too meagre to afford an unex
perienced person a proper idea of what he if
to do. In the present article I propose to
avoid both these evils, giving my experience
as I have obtained it, with a two roller 14
inches iron mill; and entering snfficiently in
to pai ticelars that all may understand me.
The first question is, when is the cane ready
for cutting? corns say when the seed are
black. Another says when the fedder ie ready
to pull. One says it will spoil if it stands,
and another contends that it should stand
several weeks after it is ripe. Having ground
eight different crops of cane on my mill this
year, and noticed closely tbe turn out in each,
I havearrived decidedly at the following opin
ion : If you have sufficient boiling power, cut
your cane as soon as you discover that the
seed are black sad the stalk turning yellow.
If you are deficient in boiling power, you may
let it stand several weeks without losing much
syrup. I dispute that the syrup will be better
by letting the cane stand.
When the cane is ready to cut begin several
dayß before and strip the fodder off closely,
but do not cut the stalk nor take off tbe heads.
The heads may be best taken off while the
stalk is standing, if the stalk is suffered by the
wind to remain standing. It is very common,
however, for th<- whole mass to be blown down
in ali directions. When this is the case, the
heads can be m>st expeditiously taken off af
ter the cane is cut, when it can be gathered
together and several heads cut at once. A
good plan is to cut the heads off at tbe mill,
with a block and hatchet. This assi3t3 you to
save the corn, which is good food for nearly
all animals, but particularly for hogs. It is not
advisable to attempt to save the fodder.
The cane should not be cut down until you are
ready to send it to the mill. Some hare advised
differently, but the theory is incorrect, as I will
aow show. The structure of the cane stalk is
cellular—that is, full of little colls like honey
coinb—and the juice is contained in these cells.’—
The saccharine, or syrup and sugar making sub
stance is diluted in a fluid. When the cane is ex
actly ripe the cells are very tender and the dilution
complete. If the stalk is suffered to re
main several days the sun evaporates apart of the
fluid aad leaves the remainder thicker with a part
of the saccharine clinging closely to the sides of
the cell. At the same time the cell aad the whole
stalk becomes somewhat wilted and tough. Now
it is plain that it is more ditficuk to press out the
juice in that condition than when the cells are
leader, the stalk brittle, and the syrup diluted in a
fluid easily caused te flow from the stalk. To get
the juico pressed from the stalk is the main consi
deration—the boiling can be easily arranged. No
matter how little boiling power I had I should
never cut my cane before I was ready to grind it.
When the juice is expressed it will stand all day
without souring, fiht should not bo suffered to stand
longer than two or three hours at night. If it
sours it should be made into vinegar. Very ex
cellent beer may be made by boiling it awhile and
tbsa setting it aside for a day.
The boiling of the juice to make syrup should
be conducted in the following manner: The juice is
thrown into the kettles from the Barrel into which
it has been strained, and the kettle put threo
feurth3 full. The first half hour it should be suf
fered to simmer, and gradually heat to boiling.—
During this period all the impurities will rise to
the top and must by all means bs skimmed off.—■
When it reaclio3,lhe boiling point, heat should be
applied with all possible intensity, and continued
until the syrup is sure to blubber, when it may be
suffered to abate. During tko boiling, there will
be a great tendency to boil over, which is prevented
by using a cooling apparatus, which is simply a
small basket, without handle, fixed firmly on the
end of a staff, four feet long, dipped into the kettle
and lifted up so that the juice cools in falling. It
will require a little skimming ali through the
process.
The first indication that the syrup is approach
ing tho proper consistency, is that it begins to
blubber instead of boil. This will continue from !
half hour t»o an hour in proportion to the amount j
of heat. When the blubbering becomes very vio- i
lent you may try it by taking out a little and j
cooling it, to see if it is sufficiently thick ; or a '
better arid more expeditious pian is to dip your j
skimmer in and hold it up in the air, when the !
syrup shows a tendency to coma off two drops at |
once, iu a kind of sheet, it should be withdrawn i
from tho kettle as rapidly as possible and put into !
some vessel to cool. A large poplar trough that j
will hold a whole day's boiling is the best.
I use neither lime or soda, nor anything in tho
place of it. None of these are needed to make
good syrup. They give the syrup a dark red color,
and taste as if it had been burned, or as if it were
affected by the iron of the kettle. If a little too
much should be put in, the syrup will stain the
teeth. I know by experience that it will be nicer
without these articles, and will koep purer if prop
erly done. The more rapidly syrup is boiled, after
the skimming is over, tho better it will be. When
it is removed from the kettle, a boy should ba kept
standing by with a bucket of fresh juice, and dash
it in as soon as the last syrup is taken out. This
will obviate the necessity of washing the kettle,
which need not be done unless syrup is suffered to
burn to the kettle.
The syrup, as it is taken from the kettle, should
he 3trained through a mufquito net, or some thin
cloth into the vessel in which it cools, and that ves
sel be kept covered. The juice i3 strained as it
comes from the mill, through a coffee sack or piece
of carpet placed over the barrel that receives it.—
These two strainings will Uavs tho 3yrup as pure
as it can be made.
The skuumings may be used to make vinegar.
The bagass, or stalk that is thrown away will do
finely to menu roads, stop gullies, or collect manure.
My mill is an iron one. No man could givome
a wooden one. The noise alone would cause me to
decline using it. Some wood mills do very well,
but iu the main they loose half the syrup. The
part of the juice which they fail to extract is the
richest.
Let every farmer get a mill and raise au abund
ant crop of this providential blessing to our coun
try. But for the ease of its production, and its
prolific yield of seed, how destitute we would be of
the rnest healthful and nutricious article of food?
How many thousand pounds of meat does it con
tribute to our army ? The crop this year is abund
ant, but not adequate to tho demand. Lot there be
no lack another year. LIGNUM.
Scenes among the Haut Ton —The follow

there was a grand .negro ball gi^en—and,
would you believe it? Major General Banks

traitor, Mr. Derrcll, were present. General
Banks led off the first dance with “an Ameri

it was published in the negro paper called the

Funeral Notice.
The friends and acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs.
Robt. Kylo are respectfully invited to attend the fu
neral of their sen, James N., from the reeidenoe of
Mr. Joseph Kyle, this morning, at 111-2 o’clock.
A Change.— Yesterday was a decided im
provement on the weather for the last ten
days. The sun came out iu beauty, and the
atmosphere assumed quite a wintry “posish.”
We trust the change will be conducive te
health.
Raileoad Collision. —We learn that there
was a collision between twe freight trains on
the Muscogee Railroad, Saturday, at Butler,
by which two persons lost life—a girl, daugh
ter of an excile, and a negro. No further par
ticulars.
A Disappointment.— Quite a number of our
citizens were disappointed Saturday afternoon
in not having an opportunity of seeing and
hearing the President and Hoe. B. H. Hill at
St. Luke’s chnrch, in accordance with an an
nouncement through the City Press. A com
mittee of citizens waited on the Piesident and
suite, and were authorized to make the an
nouncement, as it was theught at the time that
an opportunity to get off during the day would
□ot occur. But such an opportunity occur
ring, the President and escort left by special
train for West Point at 3 o’clock. Our citi
zens, therefore, must attribute their disap
pointment to the urgent business demanding
Mr. Davis’ time and attention at the Georgia
front, and not to any intention on the part of
the city press te mislead them.
We congratulate ourself on our good fortune
In seeing a real, live President, and therefore
were not partakers to any great extent in the
disappointment which so many seemed to feel
so keenly. We were somewhat surprised,
however, to find in his Excellency nothing
but a man—net an extraordinary looking one
at that, but certainly a man possessed of all
the essential elements of true greatness.
Remember the Exile. — By far the largest in
stalment of the season of these unfortunates arri
ved yesterday afternoon. They belong to a class
' that requires something more tangible than sym
pathy, more practical and servicable than senti
mental ejaculations es pity. Let the benevolence
of the community not flag. As you hope to be
remembered by the dispenser of all good, forget
not to lend a helping hand to the exiles.
Fire. —The kitchen of Mr. Curtis caught on
fire yesternoon, but was soon extinguished by the
prompt efforts of the firemen. Loss small.
[From the Selma Dispatch.]
Tiie Girdle of Fire.
BY MAGGIE A. JENNINGS.
With profound respect arc these Lines inscribed to
Rev. R. 11. Rivers, of Summerfeld, Ala.
Environed, 0 Father! on every side—
Environed, but trusting in Thee ;
Our strongholds are falliug, but Thou shalt abide
When fortresses ruined shall be.
; A girdle of fire surrounds now our land,
A girdle with links burning bright;
! The circlet is closing, 0 stay not Thy hand !
Defend the sweet South in the right.
Engulphed in tho blackness of darkness we stray,
No star-beams illumine our path;
The circlet is closing—o ! send the Peace Day—
Take from ns the sentence of wrath.
Arise in thy strength—be our God and our trust,
Tear asunder the hot burning band,
j Let the sword in the scabbard remain ’till it rust,
Send the Augel of Peace to our land.
For dear hearts have bled, there is dust on the brow
Os many, the true and the bravo;
Sweet voices are hushed, they greet us not now,
Our soldiers sleep low in tho grave.
And when the glad pean shall ring far and wide,
Proclaiming the dawning of day—
When our soldiers return we’ll miss from our side
Our brave ones who sleep far away.
Hasten, 0 Father! to send us sweet peace;
Take from us this girdle of fire;
We look uuto Thee, soon send us release
Ere in darkness and blood we expire.
The dawning, the dawning—O ! surely ’tis near—
The time for tho budding of flowers,
For the dark hour is come, O ! dry now the tear,
Send peace to this dear land of our3.
The girdle is closing—the burning chain now
Is winding us nearer to Thee;
In anguish of spirit our hearts we low bow,
Our haven of rest Thou sbalt be.
Environed, O Savior! on every side —
Environed, but trusting in Thee;
Our streugholds are fallen, but the Lord shall abide
When fortresses ruined shall he. .
Plaxtersyille, August 5, 1864.
Mrs. Tom Thumb, it is announced, has pre
sented little Tommy with an heir. It is said
to be just like other babies, and likely to be
of full size. Grown, it may look down upon
