The Cultivation of -the Chtneao Sugar

• The cultivation of the Sorghum, or Chinas#sugar-plant, has thus far proved so decidedly successful in ibis Country, not only in the Sontfa, where it seems to have* been demonstrated that two Crops, or catlings of sugar-bearing stalks can be obtained in one the same roots of that year's planting, but even so far north as Minnesota, where it is testified that gosd syrup wds mademl85G, from stalks hardly a bund red days from the seed, thpt wo are impelled to urge upon our fanners and gardners the importuned of early attention to the procuring of seed and planting for the season just before us. Let ns all grow the seed this year, so that it can never more be so scarce that speculators may run it up to an exhorbiiant price. A great deal remains to be settled with regard to this .plant, especially the best mode-'of converting its saccharine properties into crystalizcd sugar; and it is highly probable that better varieties of it will ultimately bo discovered,: at least for certain localities, than that now current in this country. For the present, however it is advisable to continue end extend the cultivation of that which is'accessible, and. thus test tbe effect of acclimation on the character of the plant and the sweetness of its juices,. Wo suspect that for Louisiana, Flbrido and Texas; the Sorghum of Southern Africa will ultimately be found preferable to that obtained from Franco by our Patent' Office, and from China by France. If it prove true that this plant, or certain varieties of it,-can he grown from year to year in semi-trop-ical latitudes from' the same root;, as the cane is grown in-.the West -Indies, and tliat two or more crops of sugar-yielding stalks may *bo' cut from that -root each season, (hen there can be little doubt that onr Southern Stales are destined still (o lead the North in the production of. sugar. For;the present, however, it suffices,that the Soaghum may ho gfown wherever Indian corn will usually. ripen—that its abundant juice - makes a very pleasant syrup or molasses,'to which it ..is easily rwaced.-by toiling away 'four-fifths of it in* the. ordinary* mode of sugar-making fiom'tho'sap of the.maple—and that the leaves and stalks, whether green or dry, of the Sorghum make an admirable fodder for cattle, horses'or. hogs, while the seeds are eaten with avidity by fowls also, to jnstify the general-merest evinced in its cultivation. We, propose, therefore, to.condense into, the smallest space sumo practical directionsto the prospective cultivator—as fellows:/ 'Jl, Sted.—U there be a seed-store within your reach, your cosiest way .is to send and buy.what;seed,yon want. in plantjog to raise seed (tho,fint year's object,) a pbimd:wi)l snftico for an acre; and ibis ought not to j cost more than a dollar,— But beware of imposters and ’.swindlers, for bushels of broom)cora ohdy kindred seeds will be palmed off ’aa.thit-of ;the Sorghum.

If not,tho Secrelaryof your State Agricultural Society may he able to supply you. ■ .... l 'V 2, Planting,— Choose n warm, mellow soil, such as yon .would confidently expect to grow at least fifty huihels.of Indian corn to the acre. Plough;-early;plough deep, and thoroighly. Plant aj early as yon cbald venture to plant ebra. If -you have a hot-bed, start a little seed in oile corner of it. If you plant considerably, pnt in your seed at different limes—say, in this latitude, cue quarter each on the 1st, IQtb, and 20th of May, and 1st of Judo respectively. Plant (for seed) in hills, six seeds to tho hill, and at distance of four feet each way. Try some five feet apart cast and west («o as (o lot the sun in between tho rows,) and some in drills—say four to five feet apart eai-t and west, with tho seeds six inches apart in drill and thin tbe plants to one foot apart. It* j’P u have Peed in abundance, sow a‘little in drills two feet apart, the seeds in the drill but i*0 or three Inches apart. Cover lightly, aa the ECtd rots If covered deeply.

If yoa set a blockhead to weed it, ho will probably puIUt upend report that it (Sever germinated. Cultivate like Indian corn—only faithfully. If suckers start, a majority say pinch them or pull them off—that is, in growing.for seed. This need not bo done in growing for sugar. • • 4. Harvesting.— Whenever tho seed shall be hard and black, cut off the upper part of the stalks, eay three feet long, and, bang them up like broom-corn, in a dry chamber, suspended’ from the ceiling, so as to bfl oul of the way of rats, &c,— Now cut up your stalks, pull off tho

Mr. Brodhead alluded 1 to llio action of the Senate on the Nebraska bill. They adopted an amendment similar, to this, which the House struck oat; . Wbe* ■ the bill came back to rtio Senate,- he again moved to insert (hut provision in the bill, being' (ho only' Northern member who sanctioned thut amendment from the boginning to the end—the others! who voted for it at first having yielded their convictions, in order to allow the bill; to pass; hence he was in favor of the present proposition, because' ho believed the right ol, suffrage was co-cxten*sive with the right of citizenship. 1 ' Ho did not feel at liberty, in defining jtherights of voters, logo further than the Constitution of. his own State has gone) and that baa confined the right of. suffrage to citizens of the United Slates, : • • /"■ .

-Ob) he whispered of devotion. Of devotion pure end deep, - Out it seemed 10 very silly. That I almost fell asleep! And be thinks it would be pleasant, As w« Journeyed down the bill, To no hand in hand together, Dull hardly think it will! He was here lost night to leo'ms, And he made so long a stay, I began to think the blockhead Never meant to go away,' At first 1 teamed to hate him. And 1 know! hats him stilt; Tat be urges me to have him, Bull hardly think I will! .

The condition of ..woman in the harem depcnls somewhat on her own and her husband's character. If she was previously in an elevated situation; if her parents wore influential; if, in the matrimonial contract, her personal property was reserved to her; if, lastly, she has strong natural qualities of mind and a resolute will, rho can ptesorve authority in her house; but sho is; never regarded as the equal of her husband. , Sho often remains standing in his presence,, serves him at table, and must show him all deference end submission. ' • The life of woman Itt the houses of the rich in indolent. How oan tho day be filled up? No readilig,—1 have, already explained why; little or no music; no sewing with the needle. All her occupation is to dress, to load herself with ornaments, to goto the hath, to’play childish games, to wander from one chamber to another, to receive female visitor*; in this monotonous circle (he hours of the. harem are passed. I The both is the favorite pastime of the female soxi-in Turkey. - It is exacted by JaW" on Friday of each week. On other dap the women ’of several harems invite ou o’an other to partake together of this pleasure;' Every well-fur-nished house containsone or more magnificently decorated bathing rooms. : The women sometimes go out of th»ir apartments, hot with minute precautions. '■What frightful saya Mr. U bicini.. "Fancya domino of large size, —cloth in wiuter, »llk in summer,—with felting upon the shoulders, under which the woman 1 wholly disappears.— This is called feredgt. The form of this cloak, the kind of stuff,is almost uniformly the same: the only difference ie in the color. . To the fetiedgo must be-added the yackmak. This is a veil,, or bandage of white tuns!in, composed of two pieces,— one covering the throat and lower part of the face, to half the noso, while the other reaches from the eye-brows to the top of the head, so as toleave only a harrow opening for the eyes. WLen yon mcct in the street a worn op thus veiled, it is almost impossible, jo divine if she is young or old... . Hor hnsband may pass ten times by. her aide without recognizing her. Vou cannot; distinguish the noble lady from the slave." , • In spite of this ’ state of constraint within tho harem and abroad,-the Turkish women do not complain of their lot, so accbstbcfod are they'to it. On the contrary, they.pity the lotof Christian ladies. One day the French ambassador's wife,, visiting the wife |Of tho. pasha, the latter addressed her many questions upon the kind of life of Western women, and at every answer she cried out: "AlasI alasl -most a woman in your country bring a dowry to her husband? Must she help him in bis labors? She sews, embroiders, sella in shops, exercises a trade like the wives of Jthudi (Jews.) .... And you say that year women can endure such a life? alas! alasl”—"But," said the French ambassador’s wife, "do yon led, then, no doeire to travel, to sen other countries, other manners?—No,—But how do you pass the time?—Are you not- weary?— Why?"—The Turkish woman did not understand even what weariness was, being so utterly destitute of ideas, for she yaw nothing, road nothing, her thoughts jjjver went beyond the narrow circle of domesi.’. c . The law oi oraD authorizes repudiation; the husbonJ can break the conjugal tie atpleasure, provu. 6 ®," 9 f° aT0a t° the repudiated woman her db,7 r y* ™ wife, on her part, can ask for sepai*.* 101 } or divorce, hut only in a case determined beforehand and for reasons assigned.— Tho Mussulman code goes into strange and disgusting* details in this respect. The host and can take back the repudiated wife, but only after she has been married to another, and this other is dead, or has repudiated her in his turn. The Eastern legislator evidently intended to give the female sexsomo securities; but the barriers he provided are feeble ogainst the passions of men.

. Mr. Itrown expressed- his heiKy concurrence in the views ; expressed by the Senator from Pennsylvania,, . Mr.' Douglas replied to Mr. Biggs’ remarks, maintaining that the amendment; was improper,; and showing, in several instances, that persons had been constituted citizens of some of the:Stales who were not citizens of tbeUnited Slates.; Mr. Seward considered the tpiostipn’ involved as sctllW..

C«rr»ipointense of Ihe If. V. OLisrvif. Turkish Women. Until lately the East has’ remainod cor•rid with a thin veil from the view of the Western nations. Intercourse was diffi•nlt and was confined to a few tourists who ventured to;the mouth of the straits of tho. Dardanelles. Travellers who occasionally.dated,to penetrate into the Ottoman empire, found everywhere tho gates closed, so;that their investigations'wete limited to what was exterior.' ■ They saw. nothing ot tho domestic life of the Turks. ■ Now it is otherwise. Constantinople is four or fivp days’ sail from France. Every week, thourandshf Europeans hre conveyed by water to the hanks, of the Bosphorus; and the Mahometans, though sot v|ty communicative, are obliged to submit to’the observniionbf strangers some of their customs and modes of life. European wbmen, in particular, the prim ‘ ccsi Christina Triwlee de JJelgioJoso, for example, have been admitted into the . harem; and on their return to the West, have published their observation*.— Among others is n work entitled iVexwf Si ale of Turkey, by Mr. Uticixi, containing information on tho opinions, laws, character and manners of tho Mahometan psople. From this look 1 shall cull a good part of what I shall say concerning . Turkish women, Mahomet had little regard for the female sex. Belying on physical force and accustomed to savage life, he treated woman ae ah inferior being to man, Hence the unjust laws which direct the education of women among the Mussulmans; Girls, even of the best edqcaled families, grow fc ’u in the harem, without any developof the intellrclDoI and moral fac-

Strange, inexplicable associations brood over the mind, "like the far-off dreams of’paradise,” mingling their chaste molabcbply with a musing of a still snbdbedj through more cheerful character.' '• Howtoany glad hearts in the olden'time have-rejoiced:in these songs of praise—bowmany sorrow* ful ones sighed out their, complaints in those plaintive .notes, that, now cold in death, are laid to rest around that sacred church, within whoso walls .they bad so often swelled with emotion.— Blackwood.

But the husband must give a dowry to bis wife; be also owes her an honorable maintenance, with attendants ■nited to her birth. Except the sultan, public officers and some opulent proprietors, few Turks arc rich enough to fa&va the four wives authorized by their prophet.

Power of tho Moon at Night.

"The bun shall not’pmilo thee by day, nor tbo moon by night."—Pb. 121: 5, Mr. Crane, in his Letters from the East, has observed :—"The effect of the moonlight on the eyefin this country (Egypt) is singularly itjurgms. Tbo natifes tell you, as 1 faired also did in Arabia, to always cover your eyes when you sleej) in the open air.” rather strange that the passage iiithij Psalms should not have been thus ■illustrated, as the allusion seems direct. The moon here realty strikes and effect! the sight, when you sleep exposed to it, rqudi. more than the sun; a fact of which I had & very unpleasant proof one nighty and took care to guard agaiuvt^fter wards. Indeed the sight of a parioifpwhb should sleep with his face exposed at night, woulct soon be itnpaired or utterly destroyed. , ' m th at a person present is a memberof any* Order or So* cisty, it is unkind and low-bred to ridicule it.

The absence of women from society in the East prodnccs sad effects. The men do not feel the need of being polite in their speech and behavior, as among Christians. The art of conversation is unknown among the Turks. They are grave, ceremonious, kind in their inter* coarse, but dull and taciturn. They have violated towards the female sox the law of God, and they are punished for it. It is Impolite to ask an Osmanli news of his wife or daughters. Some changes begin to appear in Eas-
