Sorghum.
--A correspondent of the Lynchburg Republican, writing from Charlottesville, Va., about sorghum, says:
I am glad to inform you that quite a number of the farmers in Albemarle county have turned their attention to the cultivation of sorghum, or Chinese sugar cane, and they have been quite successful.
Col. T. J. Randolph will, I hear, make 600 gallons of molasses; Frank Miner 800; R. W. Lewis 850; Alex, Rives, Mr. O. Richards, and others, nearly or quite as much.
In all parts of the county the sugar cane mills are grinding out the juice, and the furnaces are boiling it daily and nightly into molasses.
In Charlottesville Messrs. Harris and Spooner have an iron mill (manufactured by them) with steam power in operation, which pretty effectually crushes out the juice from the cane, and with their boiling apparatus, consisting of one iron kettle, holding 55 gallons, and an iron oblong pan of 60 gallons, they make every five hours about 60 gallons of molasses.
