A TRUE TORT. The glowing sun of i midsummer afternoon poared through tho curtaineas windows of the little village K nn 1 find armall nrlrtr? l'i.ai'j ilnmn. ed like delicate flowers in the languid air. Anion ' thorn all, 1'ttla Katie s ,unny rm,,!ets fell the lowest ; and if ' , ... , , ., 0U uau IlllCU IHO goluen vail, you would hare seen that the wearv eyes hd forgoitm to eon the line of long, hard words in the worn spelling-book, and that the silken fringes uf the drooping lids wero pillowed lovingly upon the sweetest little cheeks in the world. Yes, In tho heated air, soothed by tho lazy drone of thu hungry flies, Rnd by the restless hum of young student voices, Katie had fallen asleep. She was dreaming, too. She was dreaming of a littlu brother, darling Charley, who. in the bright springtime, when the violets were just openinrr thoir etvi-.'l htm. iti nflnp f I . . i r o - j - earth, and passed through those gates of glory always open for the entering of little feet. And she dreamed that she clasped him to her lonely heart, and begged him never to leoro her again. And amid the greatness nf her joy she sobbed aloud, nnd started to fined Belle's soft arm around her, and to bear ber whisper, "What is ihe rantter, darling?" Before poor Katie could well collect her thoughts to answer, tho school waa dismissed, and she heard the teacher exclaim, "Hurry homo, chil dren, or yon will be caught in the shower." But Katie could not hurry, and as she walked slowly out of tlio door, again litt) Belle's sweet voice cried, "Poor Katie, are yon sick ?' Then Katie poured into the sympathizing car of her little friend äll her trouble, and finished by saying, "1 could not bear to find it only a dream; I feel as if 1 moat see Charley once. more." Where do you think he U ?' asked Belle. In heaven, I know,' replied Katie; 'and mother says he cannot come back to us, but wo can go to him some tune;' and her sobs broke oat afresh. Why don't you go to him now ?' cried Belle. I don't know tho way,' said Katie. I waa very sick when they took him away in tue uuiu cuuio, una L üon t, know where they went. Are you sure they went to heaven ?' said Belle, eagerly. '0, 1 knew it,' eaid Katie. 'Then,' said impuUivo little Ballo, 'then I can show you the way. I saw where they put your little broth er.' The glad light in Katie's tearj fat eyes was beautiful to behold 'Will you, will you show me, Belle, now. this very afternoon ?' Yes, indeed,' cried Belle; and wit'n j clasped hands, unmindful of tho galhenii'j 2'00fa these little pilg um se forth on their journey to heaven. Once on the way, a doubt oppressed Belle. 'Are you sure, Katie, that f 7 s",u aw' RmP'caijy. . 'A,, rhat (I oi". he do all the ""J" Plays with the angcta with such , . . . . lovely wings, cna ivatie, Willi great animation.

'Perhaps it is,' said Katie, more hopefully. But now the large drops began to j fall very fast, und a thunder -torra, ia (all its sublimity, burst upon thu little 'Knock, ' cried BtHle; and with all her strength Kate did knock, and u hollow echo wss all her reply, while tbe dead within 1. ceded not the call from fresh, young, hopeful lips, and lite little brother, wiih folded eyes, and pale clasped hands, heard not the sweet, imploring cry. 'Charley. dar Charley, it is your sister; your own Sutcr Katici won't you open the door V 'He does not hear you, Katia, it 1 thunders so,' said Belle. 'Let us

wait a little while;' and they waited, j

Soon there was a lull in the storm, nnd ngain Katie, strong in faith, knocked at the dreary door, and her loving cry: 'Charley, dear Charley,' echoed sadly back. Jo you hear anything? asked Belle, with parted lips; 'is he coming?" Ne.' replied Katie, 'I thought once I heard his little feet, but it was only the rain 'Perhaps,' suggessted Belle, with large imaginative eyes, 'perhaps he is playing with the angels a great way off, in a beautiful garden.' 0,' sobbed Katie, 'I hope he will not love the lktle angels more than me!' 'Knock once more, just one," whispered Belle. With wavering faith again the little, soft hand pleaded for entrance, and a temulous voice cried piteously: 'Charley, darling, dear, sweet little brother, please open the door to your own poor Katie. Do not k.ve the little angels better than me. O, Charley, Charley I" She threw herself upon the groud, and sobbed in an agony of grief and disappointment. Katie.' said Belle, half frightened at this outburst, Met us go home now, and come again to-morrow and try.' No,' said Katie, with touching hopelessness, I shall never come e.gain. Let us go.' She rose without another sob, or fresh tear, even upon the wet cheek; but the grieved expression of the sweet, childish mouth was pitiful to behold. Back over all the dreary way went Katie and Belle. Little shoes wet, little dresses dripping, little heads bent like dew-ladened flowers, little hearts very heavy. At Katio's door her anxious mother, peering through tho shadow for her darling. The child sprang to those loving arms, and with one cry that spoke all the agony of bitter doubt that had crept into her young, confiding heart, exclaimed I "0, mother, I have been knocking at the door of heaven, and Charley would not let me in.' Dear, grieved little Katie, refusing to be comforted ia thy first great sorrow. It may be that ere the violets como ngain, 'God's hand will beckon unawares,' and with a better guide thou halt find indeed the door of heaven. Then knock, little pilgrim, anj thou shalt bo heard amid the halt.uliahs of all the heau-nlv choirs. Back shall roll the blessed portals. and Charley shall lead theo with ca ger wings to the feet of him who loves little children, while the song of nngels shall be: "Of such is the kingdom of heaven.' Message of Gov. Adams, Carolina. of South WHAT HE SAYS WITH REFERENCE TO THS SB-ESTABLISHMENT OF THS SLAVS -TRADE. Gov. Adams' Message opens with a reference to the Presidential struggle just closed, as follows : "The object for which yon were recently convened in extra session has been determined. Tho popular voice had declared in favor of the party of our preference. The Past admonishes us to reserve the full measure of our rejoicing to the day when the avowed policy of the party shall have been honestly carried out, when justice shall be re established, and tranquility bu restored to tho country. Then, indtd, will the victory be one worthy of tho 6troncrest demonstra ti(m which pAtriottHtxa can indulge. So far as tin result may be regaided as a rebuke to that Northern party whose principle of cohesion is hatred to the boulh, we share in the general satisfaction. Considered in reference to the vital issue between the North and the South, I fear that it will be a itu triumph that it will prove to be, at best, but a brief respite of fe- . i h, exhaustiug excitement, destine I to end in embittered feeling and distracted counsel among ourselves. Slavery nnd Freesoilism can never be reconciled. Our enemies have been defeated not vanquished. A majority of the Free States have declared against the South, upon a purely sectional issue, nnd in the icmainder of them, formidable minorities fiercely ' contended for victory under the same 1 1 .... u r ii,;, 11 inn 1. 1 iiu wiuujjui ui lino uwgraphical party must dissolve the Confederacy, unless we are prepared to sink down into a stato of acknowledged inferiority. Wo will act as wisely to employ the inten-i 1 of repose afforded by tho lala ele ction, in 1. 11 in l preparation for the i levitabkconflct Tho Southern States have never demanded more than equality and Kccurity. They cannot submit to less, and remain in the Union, without dishonor and ultimate ruin." " Ihe outward pressure against the institution of Slavery should prompt in to do nil we can to fortify it within. I) illusion is strength concentration weakness. Our true policy is todiflu.e ihe slave population as much as possible, nnd thus securo in tbe whole community the motives of self-interest for its support. I have no doubt of the inherent ability of the institution to maintain itself against all assaulia. It is the basis of our political organism, and it would not be dif licult to show that thu poorest white man among us is directly concerned in its preservation ; but the argument of sell interest is eaa y of comprehension and sure of action. 1 reccoramend the passage of a law exempting Irom sale (under oontracta to be hereafter entered into) at least one slave. Such an immunity would stimulate every one to exert himself to possess his family at least of a property in some decree above the easu allies of debt. As you multiply the number who acquire the property, so will you widen and deepen the deter

mination to sustain tho institution.

The consumption of cotton has steadily increased, and will, in a few years, exceed the supply not from want, on our part, ol kind on which to grow it, but from want of operators to cultivate it. The demand for the artiole being greater than the supply, the price must go up, in tho absence of all disturbing causes. As long as this continues to be the case, we must prosper; but tho certain effect of high prices will be to stimulate the growth of it in foreign countries, and in time to destroy the monopoly which we have so long enjoyed. The possession of this monopoly is the chief element of ouihern prosperity, and the dependence of the manufacturing interest on us for n supply of this artiole will continue to prove to bo one of oar strongest safeguards. The amount of cotton now grown in the East Indies should open our eyes to our true policy. The idea that African slaves only can successfully grow cotton, is an entire mistake. Under British denomination, vreb 8LAVK8 are now producing in the East more than the entire crop of the United States in 1820. From a report of Hon. W. L.Marcy, Secretary of State, in answer to a resolution of Congress, it appears that during the year 1855 the shipments of cotton to Great Britain were, from the United States, in round numbers, 6?0.0OO40O0 pounds, and from the East IndiesT Egypt and Brazil. 202,000,000 pounds. Whenever England and the Continent can procure their supply of the raw material elsewhero than from us, and the eotton States are limited to the home market, then will our doom be sealed. Destroy the value of slave-labor and emancipation follows inevitably. This, England, our commercial rival, clearly sees, and hence her systematic efforts to stimulate the production of cotton in the East. The success which has thus far attended those efforts, will incite her to redouble them The East Indies abound in fertile land and eheap labor. France, too, is encouraging and stimulating its growth in Algeria, with the like advantages of soil and labor. To maintain our present position we must Luvt cheap labor also. This can be obtained in but one way by reopening tho African Slave-Trade. Until Providence iuterposes and changes his organism, the African must continue to be a 'hewer of wood and a dr.iwer of witter." It is a diseased sentimentality which starts back at the idea of legalizing the Slavo -Trade, and nt the same time contemplates without emotion the cruel servitude which cnpital exacts of labor, all tho world over. There was a time when canting philanthropists had instilled into us a belief that Slavery was wrong. Investigation has entirely changed the onco common sentiment on this point. The South now believes that a mysterious Providence has brought the two races together on this Continent for wise purposes, nnd that the existing relation has been mutually bcneiicial. Southern Slavery has elevated the African to a degree of civilization which tbe black race has never attained in anyother age or countiy. "We sec it now in its true light, and regard it as tho most safe nnd stable basis for free institutions in the world." Had tho Slavo-Trade never been closed, the equilibrium between the North and South would not have been destroyed. The North has had the 01 1 World from which to draw her supply of labor, and hence the rapid settlement of the Northwest. Since 1808, the South has supplied her own tabor, and has necessarily made slower progress in settling up the Southwest. If tbe trade were open now, I am persuaded that the South would not consent .to close it; nnd thh ir, perhaps, the best answer to the argument derived from the mere suntimrut thnt is arrayed agninxt the proposition. It is apprehended that the opening of this trade will lessen thu vnluo of slaves, und ultimately destroy tho institution. It is a sufficient answer to point to the fart that unrestricted immigration hss not diminished the value of I tbor ia the Northwestern section of th (' n federacy. The ory there is, want of labor, notwithstanding cnpital has the pauperism of the Old World to press into its grinding service. If we cannot supply the demand for Slave labor, then we must expect to be supplied with species of labor we do not want, and which is, from tho very nature of things, antagonistic to our institutions. It is much better that our drays should be driven by slaves that our factories should bo worked by slaves that our hotels should bo served by slave that our locomotives should be manned by slaves, than that we should be exposed to the introduc tion, from any quarter, of a population alien to us by birth, training and educating, and which, in the process of time, must lead to thnt conflict between capital and labor, "which m L it so difficult to mnintnin free institutions in all wealthy and highly civili zed nations where such in sUtutioM iu I Slavcholdours do not exist." In all ing States, true policy dictates that the superior race should direct, and the inferior perform all menial service. Competition between tho v.-hi tu und black man for this service, may not disturb Northern sensibility, but it does not exnetly suit our latitude. Irrespective, however, of in'iiv.t, tin act of Congress declaring the dluvetradc piiaey, ia a brand upon us, which 1 think it important to remove If the trade be piracy, the slavo must be plunder; and no ingenuity can avoid the logical necessity ol such conclusion. My hopes and fortunes are indissolubly associated with this form of society. I feel that I would be wanting in duty, if I did not nrge you to withdraw your assent to an act which is Useli a direct conduumation of your have interests institutions. But we to enforce a course of

sjlf-respcct. I believe, as I have already stated, that more slaves are nec essary to a continuance of our monopoly in plantation products. I believe that they are necessary to the full development of our whole round of agricultural and mechanical resources ;

that they are necessary to tho restore. tion of the South to an equality of power in trie uenerai uovernment, e . a , pernaps 10 me very integrity 01 slave society, disturbed as it has been by the causes which have induced an undue proportion of the ruling race. To us have been committed the for tunes of this peculiar form of society resulting from the union of unequal races. It has vindicated its claim to the appiobation of an enlightened humanity. It line civilized and Christianized the African. It has exalted the white race itself to higher hopes and purposes, and it is perhaps of the most sacred obligation that we should give it the means of expansion, and that we should press it forward to a perpetuity of progress." Sugar. The following excellent practical directions for the culture of tho new sugar cane, are from a correspodent of the Grayville Herald. It is sufficient to direct any fanner in the management of the crop : Being requested by many to publish a statement, through the columns of your paper, of my experience with, and the value of the Chinese Sugar Cane, I therefore send you the following statement, which you will please insert : On the 25th of May I planted about half an acre of ground, one year old, a portion of the soil was low and wet in the spring, in fact I covered the seed with mud, the other part wa3 high and sandy, the con sequence was when the dry season set in, the wet part baked very hard and the high burnt np for tbe want of rain, I plowed it when about ten inchess high and that was all the working it got, with the exception of a slight hoeing previous to plowing; my object was to ascertain tho amount of saccharine matter contained in the stocks, and supposed enough would grow to make the experiment many of the stalks grew from 16 to 20 feet hign, (in the low gi cund it only grew 12 feet). Having made a mill on which to grind it, I commenced on tbe 24th of September, the cane had then received two or three frosts which slightly injured the taste of tho water. I nm convinced that the amount of stalks I used can be grown on less than a quarter of an acre, the amount of water obtained from the piece was 270 gallons, from which I made 45 gallons of i.iolasses which in flavor and beautiful bright red color, is far superior to any molasses obtained in the South. I did nol try to grain any of it. as it will not grain after being frosted; but I am convinced there win be no difliculty in graining it if tried previous to frost. If it is planted by the middie of May it will ripen by the end of August, and remain in good eondition until frost, and if cut tipaud put in sheds (in apprehension of frost) it will keep well for a month or more. I will here give .iBtstementof what may be made per acre, judging from the amount of water obtained from each stock. Oou of my neighbors, Mr. A. Degan, obtained from 7 choice stalks I gullon of water, and in an other trial made by Mr. McCleary, Seu., and myself we pressed from 10 stalks one gallon and a quart. The number of stalks in a hill should be from 4 to C. In my calculations I only estimate 1 qunrt of water to the hill, allowing 10 hills per square rod, which will make 2560 lulls to tin acre, nnd this, at one quart per hill will make 640 gallons of water, which will make 110 gallons of molasses; vnlued at 75 cents per gallon would amount to 8(ju. 50 ocr acre, and I do not hesittdu in saying that the amount! may be doubled. I would urge upon tho farmers of tho Western country to try it, you will not only save but make money by tho operation. I am well convinced that in 1860 the Southern planter will have no sale for his sugar in tho Stnto of Illinois. From present indications there will be 100 across raised in Wabash county $10,000. '1 he time to commence working the cane is when the seeds have changed from green to n dark red hue, al though it wilt remain good until fully matured. Should any person wish to make the experiment, I have some seed to spare one quart will plant an ncre. J. M. KROH. McClcary's Bluff, Wabasb Co., Ills. (rt-We find in tho debate in the Senateon the President's Message, rather an odd commentary on Mr Pierce'a eulogy upon tho late Presidential ; election as u proclamation on the part ; of the People "of devoted and unal-j terablo attachment to the Uniwn and toj lhe Constitution, as objects of interest j superior to all subjects of local or sec tional coniroverBV."
