If that plant can be grown hor lit perfection, it will savo to Oregon a vast Mini of money yearly. I have heard that in the south part of this vulley the plant lias been successfully grown, and syrup made from it; but ltuvc been nimble to learn the iiamo of the suc cessful cultivator and manufacturer. I do not think there is any obstacle to the growth and muturity of the plant here, except tho cool nights in summer; and I do not know that even thut peculiarity of this climate will prevent the mnttiritv of the cane. The Chinese Sugar Cane is cs seutiully a different plant from the Indian corn. In ntituinn, it is found to stand more severe cold than the com without be ing killed. I have some knowledge of this plant, its cultivation, nnd tho manufacture of its juice into syrup. If it is desired to stnrt a crop early, the seed can be sown in a hot bed, very thick, aiid at the timo when the ground is properly prepared and worm, it can bo transplanted, with certaiuty of liv ing, in drills the plants to be placed ten or twelve inches apart. The ground should be plowed deep, for the roots of this plant will descend three feet, if thero is no ob struction. The plant should lie-cultivated as corn. The cane seed can also be planted as corn, ami cultivated ns com. It will, in deed, make good syrup if it fails to ripen die seeds though the enno is belter when it does ripen its seeds.

Kossuth, in reply to an inquiry, states, in a letter to certain gentlemen in Scotland, that the ex pressions of sympathy in foreign lands for Hungarian freedom are conducive to the end sought for. IIo says that in conse quence of the Italian war and the subsc- satisfaction throughout tho Austrian Em pire, the Hungarian question has risen to European importance; and that it is a burm ing question of the day. Francis Joseph is now the sick man of Europe; and he re- ruptions and tyranny, hurrying to its ruin. no relics solely upon the sword for the government of bis people, nnd yet ho is without money to pay his army, Kossuth ; regards the Hungarians and other misgov erned subjects of Austria as ripe for free dom, and thinks thut the day of deliver ance is at hand, unless tlio despotism is saved from dissolution by foreign interven tion. tejf The New York Saturday Press re marks: " It is a curious fact that speak ing generally the commonplace in litera ture is the popular.

Tiny will do this by legislation where they can, and whero they cannot they will do it by tho Kansas method if they nro able. This spirit has been evoked by the attempt to spread slavery over the whole territory. And it will last while the subject of it lasts. Having said this much we now wish to say a little more. The Republican party is not nn abolition party. It has never proposed to use the power of the Federal Government to abolish slavery. Such use. of that (iovcrnment is not its creed and and never was. It does not wish, by any national action, to interfere with slavery where it actually exists. It has 110 advice to give as to its management there. It hos no crusades to project. It does not contemplate any national scheme of eman cipation of tho African race. Tho liitiu ngeiuent of that question, its discussion, its n.r'liitinn u nn nnrt nf its iirn'Tiimtne It. i8C0lltcnt (o t.t tlio slave States immune their peculiar social evils in their own way, subject only to public discussion, exposure nnd comment which human action inevita bly provokes from a free and an intelligent people. Every sensible man knows, or ought to knmv, that this is the position or the Re publican party in regard to slavery. And yet we find elaborate Essayists setting down professedly to persuade Republicans to givo up thoir ideas of abolishing slavery, with grave arguments to show them that we could not he so well off if we should thus dispose, of that institution, ns we would ir it should be left alone. Or course these ar guments in the partisan press proceed upon the assumption that the Republican party hold the sanlo opinions, and aim at the same objects, as t lie non-voting abolition ists. The assumption is false, mid can only decoivo those who wisli to be deceived. yew York Tribune, Mystery uf Klsslnc. Depend upon it, a kiss is a great mystery.

With the young lady he pressed his sift successfully; and iti lima tho father might havo suecumbid, d spile the fact that he regarded the resources with which I rrinir proposed In support a wifo too slender to maintain that style of luxury to which his daughter had been nc customed. In an evil hour, ns it seemed, a Dr. Cii'bdilnii, a min'ster nf the Presl.y terian Church, despite his Scottish parent age, fell in with the gentleman whom Ir ving was de'irous of making Ins father in- law. Tlio clergyman' eyes were dazzled by tho beauty of thc same young lady who had won tlie hiirt of the usiiriii-; author, and the eve of the father weru blinded to all other considerations by the wealth which Dr. Crelc.htoti offered, together with hi heart. Time and persistency pushed Irving from the sc.-ne, and the jrrl, obedient to her father' urgent entreaties cavo his prefer euro the precedence of her own. Rut the saddest pnrt of the story remains to be told. When Ihe quest ion of the marriage portion was under consideration, the father stated that the family had been tainted with iinauitv: mid to guard against the evils of harsh treat incut, should his daugh ter be nfllieted with the same malady, hi sisted that a certain sum should be let aside, which, in the event of such a calamity, houhl be devoted to her maintenance on her estale on the banks of the Hudson, and that in no event should sho be removed from the mansion there. The terms the ardent suitor, hoping for the best, complied with. It may have been tho result of hereditary disease, or the effort to crush out and kill her young Iioks, but not many years elapsed before the young wifo was a raving maniac, She became so violent that t-o tfineiiipitt wai rendered necessary, and the family mansion wa con Verted into an asylum, Dr. Cn-ighton building another house 011 a distnnt part of tho estate. The unfortunate Woman is stilt living, nnd on quiet nights her shrieks may bo heard shrilly along the banks of tho riv er almost audible, too, at tho secluded re treat which Irving occupied. o heart knows how much tho sad event may have tinged his own life, or to what exertions it may have urged him in attempting to drown all remembrances of his disappoint ment. Dr. Crcightou hna for years ollicia ted at the humble .chapel wiiere Irving worshipped and, singular enough, read the burial service for his former rival. To those who are aware of these mournful cir cumstances, tho strange coincidence must have been exceodmgly painful. tnclloaary at l.ove. CoxsTAXcy. There is scarcely a virtu in the whole code which is more admirable than constancy nnd conjugal devotion. ithout this, all the other charms, even of female loveliness, seem worthless. What ever beauty she mny possess, even though she may have the tinge of Hebe 011 her checks, and the grace of an Ariel in her step, will go for naught if she is destitute of this chief excellence or lovely woman.
