Mr. Sidney Cr. Jishrr read a long communication from Mr. Milton Gonrad. of Chester co pa in, relation to the cultivation of tbe "or gbum sucre," or Chinese sugar cane.

Mr. Con 1 rad gave the result of hia experience in raising the cane, which was favorable to its introduction as a standard crop for farmers. He assert ed tbat the crop waa a paying one. as it would vield a profit nearly two fold that of corn. Comparing the two crops, the production per acre showed tlie following result: Chinese sugar cane yielded 170 gallons molasses, valued at SC3 75 Indian corn, 43 bushels, valued 31 60, leaving a balance ot 832 25 in favor the sorghum over the corn crop.

The letter Mr. Conrad Rave fuU information concerning the mode of selecting the seed, how to plant and the means to be pursued, to successfully cultivate the sorghum. It stated, also, that the quantity of syrup produced from the cane Chester county alone, was only 2500 gallons tlnring 1668, while in 1859 it reached 15,000 gallons, which he considered an evidence tbat the growing of the cane was a profitable business, Mr. Fisher read a statement endorsing the facts presented by Mr. Conrad, pending which tha Bev.

P. Hunt, formerly of this city, but now residing In Luzerne county, stated that in addition to the ad vantages claimed by Messrs. Conrad and Fisher for the sorghum, the begasse" or waste, is worth 58 an acre cultivated, for the manufacture of printing paper. He stated that the paper upon which an edition of the Ledger was printed, was partly made from thia material. The letter of Mr.

Conrad and the paper prepared by Mr. Fisher were referred to the Library Committee, with instructions to print them, if deemed necessary. The Committee on Exhibition reported that the Society could obtain the ground at Powel ton for a winter exhibition of stock, which was suggested at the last meeting. Dr. Kennedy stated that tha bill Incorporating the Model Farm Association had passed both branches of the Legislature.

The corporators named in the act are citizens of Philadelphia, Bucks; Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties, and the proposed institution. wUl be located in one of these five counties. capital stock ia fixed at 850,000, and the object of tha Association is to secure and lay out a tract of land, erect suitable buildings, and otherwise ao improve the property aa to adapt to the purposes of a model or experimental farm and botanic garden. The Be v. Thomas P.

Hunt remarked that he liad upon his farm, in Luzerne county, a remarkable flower and fruit tree, the. name of which he could not find in any botanical worlc The seed of the tree nad been given nim by a sea captain, of Salem, Mass. It produced a beautiful scarlet flower, and a fruit, which, when cooked, was so similar to Onava jeUy that it was difficult to distinguish it from that article. The tree growa something like an apple tree, has a thorn, and he thought would make a good hedge. He would give any of the, rentlemen one of the trees if they would take care of it.

He made some interesting remarks concerning nts success in grafting. lie also tsaid that the of the 'sorghum," (before epoken of,) when burnt with sod, is tha beat manure to be found for wheat and potatoes. In regard to the cultivation of the sorghum, he thought Luzerne county was too cold for it to be grown successfully there. He con eluded by making an appeal lor aid of tha xnersMligr HcnooL, in uentre county, wai en was now in want of funds to comulcte the buildings, This waa the chief obioct of hi Visit to this city. Several members responded to his appeal by subscribing.

A desultory debate then ensued; in a eocial war. between the members, who indulged in speculations' about Llie valae of tha corn and Wheat cropa of the country, compared witlithe cotton crop, Which, at times, took, rather a po KtieaT tn en aemrrUn to the YleWS Of the 81eak era eonoerning the relative agricultural pro unctions ox trie noria ana ue coaui ia uio course of the conversation, the. Be v. Mr. Hunt observed that.

If tha legislature vrould only pass a law to put an end to all tne nogs, i would save to tha State $60,000 worth of sheep, which are now annually destroyed by doga. Ha aaid all tha dog meat in tha State, made up lata, aauaagea, would never compensate for the injury they 1clVw Vv 4I saStPltefsreed wit tSx. Ittafc 4a the Tiewa he expressed, aad considered dogs a perfect nuiFancs about Use country. It wat a remnant of bar barism for a bus to keep dogs about his hohse so defend his property. The law hould be strong; enough to protect evrry man in hia penon aad possessions Hut if yon apply to the Lsgialatare, yon will find that the slogs hays xnora voles tbnja the sneep, anal moth leg will be done to protect the fanner.

1 Mr. Hunt thought ther oBt for 'he Blair county law, which puts a tax on all and out of the fund, raised, tha owners, of sheep killed by doga are compensated. i During the, conversation, Fisher rs marked that nearly every mechanic and laboring man in his neighborhood kept one or mora ckoga but, said he, the dogs are all Democrats. Bey. Mr.

Unnt No, no. I know plenty who are Black Republican. 1 ho ons a. few days ago, who was tha worst Black Republican, I ever saw. Laughter.

In answer to an inquiry by Mr. Fisher, as to how they managed thia thing in England, which is one or the greatest sheep growing countries in the world, and also one where dogs were highly prised, tha nobility and rentry having their packs of hounds and other do, Mr. Wil llama stated that In England nearly the same laws existed as In Philaeelphia connty doers were taxed, but lite law was more rigidly enforced there than here. Besides, in England. thoFe who raised large numbers of sheep had ehepherda to attend them, which was not the practice in this country.

I The approach of the dinner hour admonished the members it was time to conclude, and the meeting adjourned. National Comxntion fle Friend ef Union Prayer Meeting Second Day. The Convention of the Friends of Union Prayer Meetings met yesterday morning, in the Sansom street Baptist Church, tha President, W. K. Dodge, in tha Chair.

The morning was chiefly consumed iu tha reading and consideration of the report the committee, in relation to "the carrying out in every proper way, and to every possible extent, the principles of Christian anion. After alluding to the benefits which have rrnsnlted from nnkiA prayer meetings, in bringing together those ef various denominations to worship lathe same sanctuary, thereby destroying in a great moasnre the spirit of aec tarianism, the paper recommended, among other things, the establishment of a system by. which, ijrJormal social gatherings may take place for an mterehaage of views and prayer, the number at each not to exceed ten or fifteen. It was also recommended that the pulpit and the press be urged to advocate the aubject of Christian Union, and that a standing committee be appointed, composed of the oldest and most experienced in the body, to carry out the recommendations embodied in the report, A series of resolutions, appended to the paper, were, after its acceptance, taken up for consideration, and were passed, when the report had been ao amended as to strike out that portion of it suggesting social informal gatherings of different denominations, which it was thought by some of the delegate would have the effect to revive, rather than deaden, sectarianism. The Be v.

Dr. lVevin offered a resolution reeomgneaduig that the second month be devoted to the subject of Christian unity, which was being discussed at the hour of adjournment. The Convention met again in the afternoon, when a long discussion ensued upon the resolution offered by Dr. Nevln in the morning. The debate wasparticipated in by the Rev.

The congregation of the First Baptist Church, which is now located at Broad and Arch sometime since commenced the removal of the bodies interred In the brrrying ground attached to the old church. In Ledger Place, (formerly Lagrange Place,) Second street; between Market and Arch, for the purpose of re interring them in Mount Moriah Cemetery. Tbe burying ground comprises about one acre, which appears to bare been closely filled with bodies. In removing two bodies, a day or two ago, the coffins were opened, when it was 'discovered that the remains were la an excellent state of preservation, the features of both, a man and woman, being so little affected that the relatives recognized them at once. The bodies had been buried abort thirty years.

What caused this result could not be ascertained, aa other coffins, which had been lying within a few feet of these two, were ftI opened, and nothing but bones were found.

Since Mr. Petry has become the lessee of this house, a very general improvement has taken place, not only in the appearance of the building but in the management of the inter rior.

The front of the hotel has been much beautified and paint, paper, and new furniture have made the interior equal to most of: the hotels in the city. It is conducted upon the European and American plan, and dinners are furnished to boarders or other persons at a figure so low as to astonish most of those who patronize the establishment. Transient boarders are accommodated with good rooms and meals at 81 50 per day, a figure much below that exacted by the generality of hotels kept upon the same plan.

1 Market Street. In paving that portion of Market street, from Front to Eighth streets, recently occupied by the market sheds, the same plan should be pursued by the railroad companies as was done on that portion of the street west of Broad that is, to remove the tracks to the centre of the street. The present condition of the street is looked upon as a and should be abated Immediately, by paving: and if the West Philadelphia Passenger Railroad Company intend to lay their track in the centre and get rid of the turn outs along that portion of the street, the proper steps should be taken before the street is paved.

As several of the two dollar notes were not signed, it was supposed that all were counterfeits. One of the possessors said that they had been shown to a broker and pronounced genuine. I Inquett.

The defendants were ton trial charged with entering tha hows of Cant. B. SL Torke, Twentieth atreet, near Arch, on the Eith of January last, aad stealing silverware, Ac.

Capt. Torke waa only able to testify ta the fact that his house waa entered, aad that he chased the burglara out, but con Id not identify the defendants as the parties. Detective Officer Mtrkel waa next placed an the stand, and when required to testify, stated that he knew nothing, except from "heaTeay, (not evidence.) As tha District Attorney bad received an intimation that the witness did know something further than mere hearsay, be went into a long examination, the result of which was the reluctant admission on the part of Mir kel that he had had aa interview with Andrew Curtis before bis arrest, but the conversation tbat passed between them he waa unable to remember, except that some reference waa made by Andrew to a safe. Further than this the witness would not tell. Judge Lndlow then took him in hand and subjected him to a rigid examination; In order if possible to elicit from him the information desired.

The success of the Judge was not at all satisfactory until he intimated very broadly that he believed the witness was prevaricating. Then the officer endeavored to shield himself behind an alleged "confidential communication" received from the defendant. Said he, when a man comes and makes a confession unsolicited, it does not seem right to teU It against him. Lndlow, in reply, informed the witness that he had taken an oath to tall "the truth, the whole truth, aad nothing but the truth. Still the officer hesitated, and stood in the witness box without attempting to roeed further with his testimony.

Judge udlow then said "I shall be compelled to exercise my authority, arid order yon intq custody." Do you want me to tell wbatr I don't recollect said the witness. Jnqge Ludlow made no other reply to this except to repeat that he would order him into custody, unless he told the whole truth. This bad partially the desired effect and the officer, after studying a few moments, recovered bis recollection in part, nnd stated in sub staAce that in the firtt place Andrew came to his Louse, and said he understood the officer the witness wiehed to arrest him; witness did not recognize him then, but when he made himself known, be told him that he never took advaatake of any man who came forward voluntarily; that if he made up his mind to arrest him, he would let him go and then give him a chance for his liberty, before he commenced his attempt to arrest. Andrew did go, and the witness saw bim several times afterwards but did not arrest him the last time he met him waa in Eighth street, when the conversation about the safe took place; Andrew Curtis answers to his questions satisfied the witness that he had been in the burglary witness mentioned about the Yorke robbery, and while Curtis did not admit that Ac was there, he eatiffied the witness that he had been engaged; Curtis in the course of that conversation said they could never get him to rights except in a "dead trimble'' (in the house.) Here the wltnees again hesitated until the Judge interfered and said, "Go on. Tell all about it," when he replied, "It does not seem fair." Judge Ludlow insisted, and the witness could not for a long while recollect anything further that was said.

After considering, he admitted that Curtis did say there was a large amount of money about, and that he knew Mr. Yorke was in the habit of keeping large amounts. Judge Ludlow. Did he say where it was, or. whether he got it!" Witness.

"No, not that," The witness next underwent a cross examination at the hands of defendant's counsel; but he could not give the details of the conversation in Eighth street, except that Curtis said that if the folks had not been awakened they would have got the This was not the answer exactly suited to the counsel; but Judge Ludlow asked the witness why he had not stated that before. He could give no answer, except commencing a homily about the public r.ot knowing police business, a matter self evident from the disclosures in this case. After being on the stand an hour the witness was allowed to go, without anybody haying gotany information from him sufficient to convict the defendants, as the safe referred to was not mentioned by Capt. Yorke in his testimony, and thus tbe connection between that article and tbe captain's house waa not shown. In his remarks to the jury, the District Attorney was severe upon the conduct of the officers in bringing this case without evidence.

They had, without his knowledge, gone before the Grand Jury, procured a bill of indictment against the Curtises, and then, with the bill, hnd procured a requisition upon the Governor of New York, where the defendants were residing. After being in communication with those they supposed to be waited until they left the city before they made any attempt to secure the arrest. i Judge Lndlow, when ha came to charge the jury, said I never was ao embarrassed as in this case. Anxious as I have ever been to keep the conrse of justice pure, I am mortified at the exhibition which we have bod to day. And it brings me to the Inevitable conclusion, either that the principles upon which the de tective force is organized, and upon which the criminal justice is administered, are incorrect, wholly wronr, or that the greatest corruption exists eomevihere.

The house of a citizen has been burglariously entered, his property taken from him, and thus a very grave offence has been committed. To detect and bring to justice the offenders, is the duty of those connected with the exeeative department of the administration of the law. And yet an officer, a sworn officer, at present recognized as such, has, I Am fearful, deliberately neglected to state what he knew about the transaction. Whether that was the result of false pride, based upon a system of incorrect principles, is one question whether he had any other and a corrupt motive for this extraordinary conduct, is another question. I cannot decide between tbe two, but I am certain that a system which leads detective officers by force of its intrinsic character to refuse to testify and thus defeat tstice, when he is under oath, in a court room, so radically defective, that it matters little whether it is based upon incorrect principles Corrupt motives.

As It is, it is a disgrace to the administration of justice, and one which I wish I could wipe out. citizens cannot de rend upon detective, officers, it is better no ach force should exist. I The Judge then reviewed the evidence, nnd In conclusion eaid that it would be his and he should report to the Mayor the condnct of officer MirkeL. and then npon him would be the responsibility of further action. Tbe Jury acquitted the parries on trial.

M. THIRTY SIXTH CONGRESS 1st Sesslea. iV. S.

Capitol, Washiwotow, March 7. Ssjr atb. Mr. Sbwabd (N. presented petitions from five hundred citizens of Berks and Bucks counties, Pennsylvania, at king protection for coal and iron.

Mr. Sens aa (Mass.) Introduced a resolution Instructing the Committee on the Judiciary to inquire Into the expediency of appointing a commission to revise and arrange in proper form the statistics of the United States. Adopted. The bill making an appropriation to carry into effect the treaty stipulations with the Indians of Oregon and Washington Territories, was jeported from the Committee on Finance, and passed. Mr.

Davis (Miss.) from the Military Committee, reported a bill making an appropriation to equip a regiment of Texaa mounted volunteers, and moved its Immediate consideration; Objected to. Mr. Brown's Territorial Resolutions were taken up. Mr. wam (Ohio) spoke on them.

He said the resolutions embodied principles, the differences regarding which now agitated the country. The loudeat complaints in regard to the administration of the Government came from those who had been in power for many years, bad moulded the principles of the Government, and had its own men ia power. those who had been thus favored threaten to tear down the structure of the Government because of its mal administra tion. He could deduce no other conclusion than! that those who had been in power could not properly administer the Government. Ana further, he did not believe that a single man from the slave States could look him in the face and say that the South had not had her full share in the control of the Government.

In fact, she had had more than her just share in proportion to her population. No one, then, was to blame for what the South complained of but those who had bad the Government under their control. The Senator from Georgia at one time talks of the beauty and prosperity of the Southern States then, were not these whinlngs and complaints of aggression and oppression entirely out of place At one time their prosperity and happiness Li their pride and boast, and the next moment ruin stares them in the face. The Senator from Georgia had said, in tones of anger and with despair depicted on his face, that the Senators on this side of the Chamber were enemies of the country and must not be placed in power and he talked of tearing down the pillars of the temple of liberty, and overwhelming all in a common ruin. He would now proceed to review aome of his arguments and, save the vituperation of that speech, he would acknowledge the Senator as one of the ablest and most experienced members of tbe Senate.

If he bad failed to make out his case, It might be said of him as of another noted individual, that he failed where Satan could not atand. The 'charges against Northern Senators of perjury and cowardice grated harshly on his (Mr.i wade's) ears, particularly the latter charge. Did the Senator beUeve It 1 If he did so believe and he had no doubt he did, from the license of his language if he thouRht they were all non combatants, he (Mr. Wade) still would not believe that the Senator wished to gain a cheap reputation for valor at their expense. It was known to everybody that the Northern people were opposed to duelling as a relic of barbarism, and a man who practiced it at tha North was deprived of all offices of honor, trust and profit, and looked upon as a criminal, and thrown out of society, lie had felt that this senilmcnt of abhorrence, righteous aa it was, hod exposed them to insult from those who construed forbearance into a want of courage.

Mr. Fitch supposed that the Senator spoke for the people of his own party, in hi own sec lion. I There were men at the North who preferred the defence of their honor to the holding of office. Mr, Wade replied that he Fpoke what he believed to be the sentiment of the Northern people generally. There might be exceptioTis.

The Senator from Georgia had charged Northern people with being destitute of courage. Yet when did they dlrace themselvct on the quarter deck or flinch in the perilous breach 1 Mr. Took bs said that he had not made such allegations against Northern pople; but hp had said that thot who had proven faithless to their honorable obligations and talked of marching their millions against the South, were not the men who had the courage to carry out their threat. Mr. Wade said he had put a broader construction on the Senator's language than the Senator had put upon it himself; and was glad to bear his" explanation.

He believed himself tbat a man who would really commit perjury Was likely to be destitute of courage. He agreed with the people of his section tbat duelling is unnecessary in civilized countrlef, but might be necessary in a semi barbarous region ana wiui semi oar Darous peopie. a nmiHor had' accused Northern Senators with being faithless to their constitutional obligations, and that they had perjured themselves by violating their oaths. The Senator who uttered these charges hod told us tbat one blast from Virginia would rally a million men. To do what 1 Why to tear down the structure of this Government.

In case of the election of a Republican President. If that was not treason and a contemplated violation of his oath of office, he did not know what treason meant. Mr. Wadk then reviewed Mr. Toomb's arguments, to show that the Republicans bad violated the Constitution.

The first charge was that the Northern people had not been nimble footed enough in executing the fugitive slave Now, in his State, he would inform the Senator, the fugitive slave law had never been resisted, and though believed by many to be unconstitutional, yet it had been rigorously enforced bv the courts. Mr. Wade then pro ceeded to show that the fugitive slave law was enacted without warrant in the Constitution, and the personal liberty bill of Ohio was not in violation of the Constitution. To the charge that the Republicans desired to prohibit slavery in the Territories, and limit its extension, he; plead 'guilty, and defended that policy. He expressed his contempt for the Dred Scott decision, which had been got up for political effect.

In regard to the doctrine that the people of any State of the Union had the right to carry their pecnliar Institutions Into the Territories, he asked, If the Fejee Islands were admitted as a State into the Union, would it be admitted that the inhabitants thereof had tbe right to go tnts the Territories and introduce cannibalism? He denied that slavery was the normal condition of the African. In conclusion, he stated tha principles of the Bepublican party as he understood them. They were in favor of the Homestead bill; the protection of American labor: and the preservation of the Territories from the blight of slavery. He also expressed the opinion that the free negroes should be colonized in the Territories. Mr.

Tooxbs replied. He aaid the Senator either; could hot comprehend his charges, or was unable to reply to them. He again stated them, and went on to argue that the free States had violated the Constitution. The South felt jio Insecurity, except, from Invaders, one never sent up petitions here, asking for pro tection to any branch of her industry. He had not com lain ea or trie manner in wmcn tne government had been administered, but did complain of the action of the State Govern ments.

Mr. Wapb briefly repUed. The snbject waa then postponed till to morrow. On motion of Mri Gwnr. fCal) the Military Mr: FBeaBJrDxw Me.) moved to postpone its consideration tiU tne papers received from the war Department had been printed.

Mr. Wior ALL (Texas) said he distinctly understood yesterday that this bill would be acted on to day. He urged immediate action. The motion to postpone was agreed to. The Senate then adjourned.

Mr.

He said that a certain gentle man of this city bad proposed to deed a lot in this city, on which to erect buildings for tha exhibition of the agricultural products of the country, with capita of 8100,000. The bill, was not acted oa. Mi. Stout.

Mr.

The House then went into Committee of the? Whole on the state of the Union, only a few members remaining. Mr. Vast Wtck (New Jersey) ia his speech eaid he had never deserted the principles of the Democracy aa early toughthim. But tha Democrats ol the present day devote their powers to the perpetuation and extension of human aervitude, while the principles the Re publicans advocate are those heretofore declared by the Democrats, and maintained by the fathers of the Republio and the ranters of the Constitution. In noticing the repeated de.

clarationa that the election of Seward to tha Presidency would be aufticlent cause for resistance, he aaid this must mean by force but where would the South get arms and gunpowder, as none were manufactured South of tha Potomac 1 Why, In 1914, after the American retreat from JHadensbnrg, the British could bare crowned a King in this CapltoL He; impugned not Southern courage, but he hazarded the assertion that had the Capitol stood in New England, the British would not have been so successful there as they had beea in Washington. He spoke about the despotism at the South, which was as galling to the white as the blacks, and said there was no attribute of the Almighty, no command la His word, nor in the spirit of tlie Gospel, which tolerated tha sentiment, as uttered by Southern gentlemen, that slavery is a Divine institution. In tbe course of his remarks, he said that while the Southerners talked about burning witches In New England, they forget that slaves are burnt nt the stake in the South. i Mr. Da via (Miss.) rose excitedly and waa understood to say that the assertion waa false.

Mr. Gabtrkll (Oa.) rose to a point of order. No member had the right to libel the people of any section aitd then deny the opportunity of Its representatives to reply. He pronounced tbe assertion false and unfounded. Mr.

Davis (Miss.) wanted to know wli ethor Mr. Van Wytk was disposed to test Sonthern courage by going out of the District of Columbia! Mr. Van Wrest was not to be interfered with by bluster of that kind. Tha gentlemen should recollect that, for eight wee libel after Ubel had been cast on the Republicans here. Mr.

Davis (Miss.) We charged you truth fully. Much excitement. Mr. Biiobax (Ohio) earnestly demanded order. Tbe Chairman (Mr.

Washburxe. Illinois,) requested the gentlemen not to violate the rule of the House. Mr. Vam Wtck, resuming, said that, if Southerners were ao sensitive, they ought to regard the feelings of others. He spoke of Northern courage, and said that in that section no craven notes of disunion were ever heard.

The North will not surrender their principles to Southern dictation, and the people are deter mined te taln the Union. Mr. Bubkham (Con.) said that, on assembling, hire, the Republicans had no disposition renew unnecessarily the slavery agitation. ney rad ticen content to leave it for the present and combine with others to ferret oat the) abufer corruptions and extravagance of thie Atlroinlhtratlon. Hut at the very commencement of the session it was quite evident that the "irrepressible conflict' was still going on nnd wns not to be permitted by gentlemen to cease.

It was charged tbat the Republican party was sectional because they have no' members here from the slave States, but they would have them in the course of time, lis wifhed to know bow long it would be before tbe Democratic party would be subjected to the same charge, for in the north their numbers were growing beautifully less aa the polity of the party became more thoroughly developed. lie explained and sustained the Bepublican platform. His party should be judged by that, and not by the views of the extreme men of South Carolina and Mississippi. Th Republicans stand where the. fathers of tha Republic stood, and like them maintain, that Consress have and should exercise tbe power for the exclusion of slavery from the territories.

Mn. pynnT (Me.) made an anti slavery speech. He maintained that the free States have kept good faith with the South, while th southern States have not with the North. Threats have been made of secession in the event of the election of a Republican President. The North wonld accept that issue.

If the Union could not stand the election of such a man, then let it slide Mr. Moosnrin (Pa.) said that tbe Republican party will meet in Convention, for tlie no mination of a Presidential candidate, aad will certainly Instal him if elected, and not permit any outside Influence to sway them from that purpose. He did not believe that the Union would be dissolved, no matter who was elected president. He reviewed the revenue policy of the Government, and, In advocating the protection of American industry, said that this would tend, more than anything else, ta Strengthen the bonds of the Confederacy. I The Committee (If only five members present can be called such) here rose, and the House) adjourned.

We do not want a companion of rowdies and policemen, neither do we want respectable imbecility; but we want a man of character, and one who has, hyalongUfe of public usefulness, proven him elf to be a man of merit and such Is Colonel Page. In the second place, your article baa tha right doctrine about our parties. The nomlna tions are made by place hunters and their va 1 gabond followers. We are now governed by a vulgar oligarchy of low, unprincipled people, and that too in tbe name of Democracy and suffrage In onr cities we do not knew what is suffrage or what 4s representation These people make their nominations, eall a Wg meet ing, select their own officer, advertise them selves like quacks, and exhibit long Hat of 'officials, decorated with the title of honorable from their penny peerage.
