WeUucnliiy evening, a meeting of the
1 I'oiuological Society waa hekl, at illicit
the subjcct of the Chinese Sugar Cane wm
1 di*cu.v*cd, and many cultivator-* related
their experience with it, aud expressed
the opinion, that, although the Mason just
past has been au unfavorable ono for it*
development, yet there was sufficient cv
i kleucc to couvinvo theiu that the Sorgho
w uuld lw a valuable crop for Maine cul
ture. Mr. Hutman exhibited a quart of
syrup, the product of ten quarts of juice,
which wan excellent.
The subject of nativ e grape* next oe
' cupicd attention, aiul Mr. (#oudale of Saet>,
who i> widely known ait a highly intelli
gent cultivator, submitted a spoeimeu ot;
the Kebecca gra|H\ which is, |>orliaps, the j
lx>l grajK- produced in New Kugland, tIt
is a w hite grajie, resembling the Sweet
water, Uit better iu tlavor, and ripens as
early a* the Diana. The Kebecca i* au
aeeklental seedling, produced on the
l«nks of the lliuUoii, iuid is as yet, but
little know it.
On Thursday, tin? exeretM* of the day
commenced at 9 o'clock, by a »raud plow
ing match, for the society's very liberal
premium*, The premiums were award
e«l to the bent (not fa»lr»t) plowing with
oxen or hoiws and for the bwt i|*oiuctts
»»f plowing with any team and any a
mouut of tram, with a furrow not less
than ten inche* deep. The plows used
were nrnstly of Maine manufacture. The
contest was deeply interesting, attracted
h largo crowd, and was Miiartly arhbved.
The plow ing wa* succocded by au inter
esting trial of spading. S|*ding is *n
art to be learned, and of the utmost util
ity in ganlen culture. No iuvcntiou yet
designed for working the soil, equals the
spade tor thorough work.
At 1- o'clock precisely, the time tUcd
upon, Mr. W isc made his Hal loon Asccn
siou, which waa highly exciting, as was
manifest by the immense concounc of
people collected to wiinoa the impuMOg
spectacle. The scene waa in the highc*
degree picturesque ami charming. (.>0
every hill-wide that commanded a view
of the enclosure, there were thousands of
animate! H|K', tatnr«,' while imituncrablc
▼ehicJ «*h crowded crcry Approach to the
spot whore the balloon van Ining inflated,
and the adjacent tit«»s bore boyi in eluo*
tern. The balloon wan of oilwl silk, and
it*. per]M'iulicular and lateral diameters
were rcspctively about HO and 18 feet,
and bore n|»n it* sides ita name, "Yorxo
Amcrica,"^ spu-ad eagle, an«l an ontline
map of the Western Hemisphere, with the
inscriptions "Manifest [ IK57J 1)MTIXT.W
—wMarcu ok Frkkdom." Tlie loronant's
car is a wicker basket about 3 feet deep
and wide, attached to the balloon by a
strong net work enveloping it. The bal
loon and car. More inflation, weighed
120 pound*, but when inflated, it weighed
400 jtound* If** than nothing! As the
intrepid lurouant soared aloft majestically
and waved hi* acknowledgments a sea of
uptured fecva greeted him with smiles,
rendering the scene grand and imposing.
Mr. Wine's descent was quite perilous
in which his balloon was lost, and it par
ticularly described in his letter, a part of
which follows:
•'My calculation wan to alight in some
thinly wooded juniper bog, lire miles north
east of Great Works river. The grapnel took
Rood,heU and everything promised a toler
ably fttir landing, and alruidy the gas was
fast exhausting, and upon looking at the
time of day 1 found the voyage was of 1
hour five minutes duration, when all ot a
suduen a •quail ovine howling through the
trees, and "nap wont the aide of the car.—
The force of the wind ripped the grapnel
rone through the side or the car, and the
willow work tlew in all directions ; and Mich
wan the force of the wind that the balloon
!iurk.I the broken car over tho troo topa,
occasionally jamming it against the bodies
of trees so as to cause mo?t terrific concus
tions, with considerable wear and tear upon
my nppnrel. and an occasional admonition
that it were l>est for mo to spring from tho
car to save broken bom*. I stuck to the
ship, however, until it had drugged mo over
a mile across tree tons and swurnps lull of
underbusb, and finally through a pood or
lake, dousing me several times under water.
This part of tho voyage was as tmiflc as
the earlier rart was sublime, and I felt loth
to part with tuy ship, and did not until it
had drugged me across the pond, and was
about dashing me headlong into a scraggy
piece of dried woodland, where I concluded
that it was fiest to jump.
At fire minutes aft»»rl P. M , the "Young
America" left me in tho midst of a wilder
neiw out of which I mode my way with coin
nns and chart. A for travelling two hours
ollowtxl down four or five miles, which
brought mo near Oldtown, where I arrivod
nt li o'clock in the evening, nnd whence I
took the oars and arrived in Uangorut eight
o'clock."
The attention of visitors was next at
tracted tortile Show ground* to witncM

appointed for the trot, every available seat
and standing room waa occupied. There

thousand upeetaton*.
There were hut three entries, Miss A. A.
Iicarce of Meddvbeinps Wellington Co.,

were mounted on noble steed* and man

The India Mutiny.
British India embraces upwards of 700,•
000 square mile* with a population of about
130.000,000. Then then* are native states
udjoining this trsritory, SOO0,OOO square
mile* in citent, and *ith a population of
about 200,000,000. Tho nativo prineus
have a military force of ataut 400,000 —
Of the 700,000 square miles of the TKritish
poaMssions, tlio Presidency of Madras em
l>nu*s 180,000; the Presidency of Bombay,
1120.000; the Presidency of llonjptl 444.000. i
The last is the immediate centrv of the ma
Uny, and has a native population o! fx',- t
000,000. In the centre of this portion are
situated IVhi, Luoknow and Hyderabad,.
the first of which is a very strong city and
ia now held by the mutineers.
The Anglo-Indian army, before the mu-1
tiny, numbered, probably, from 300,000 to
400,000, Of these, some 40,000 or 50,000
were Kngtish troops; the remainder were
native soldiers called sepoys. These latter ,
hate mutinied very generally, and it is evi- ,
dent that the immediate results, to my the ,
lt*est, must be most alarming and dims-,
trous. These natives have bad some train- i
ing, too, in the civilised arts of warfare,
and will, by raascn of this, give their late
friendstho English soldiery, harder contests
and more ooetly victories.
As to the cause of this dread outhrsak in
India against the British authority, if one |
should judge from the English press, be
would conclude that it was entirely unpro-1
voked. Bat the truth, probably is that
British n»lc in India has not been suftciral
ly discreet, or conducted with suficient re
gard to the religious predjodices of the n»
live population, or to their ideal of easts.
' Id Iflftl, Sir CliarUt Napier wrote concern
! ing tb<) Indian artuy, that "natir» Mioald
1 I* appointed to caAltshlps," *> that tbey
j might hate u romioon ohanen of command
nilh the English—btfof* they should lake it.
He mid, alao, •• Every Kurupean boy, nje,
eTen sergeant*, now command all native
officer*. 1 believe if tho Imliahs were made
officer*, on the tame footing as ourselves,
I they would ho perfectly faithful, and, in
time, beoomo Christiana; they will gradu
ally throw cast to the dogs, and lte like
ouredves in all hut color. Theru is not n
' regiment here that moves whone march i«
not one ot horrible oppression, not from in
1 discipline or military outrage, but from the
system of government. I ahall soon be go
1 ing luck to Kngland, and hope wo ahall
meet, and I will then give you the real hia
tory of your atrong, juat, and regular gov
ernment aa ia works in tho provinces, and
of tho atrocities of tho natives, we employ
aa nncovenantod servants. The English
commit sina of omiaaion, the natives tin* of
commission, and they will do ao unti! their
accursed caste ia rolled over. We nil pay
respect to a cow in presence of a Hindoo—a
respect he laughs at, lor ho knows we do
not feel it. Hut at tho raino moment we
take his oxen and himaclf from tho plough
by force; wo send him a thousand miles
march with a regiment; ho loses his luir
vest, hia ground remains untitled, his fanlly
perish, his oxen, overloaded and overdriven
by the soldiers, drop on the road and he is
not paid a farthing for them ; his cart, bro*
ken. is left on the road, ho is made to drive
another, whoso owner ho» fled in despera
tion, and after six Height months—1 knew
one caw of years even—ho returns a ruined
inan to his onco happy homo. lie may
find las wife and children alive ; ho may
tlnd, if sho is not pretty, that she has re
mained faithful among his friends of tho
village, hut it is as common to find that one
of tho Kumpenn magistrate's uncovcnunted
native |>ooplo has taken her. And as re
gards females the European are, though
magistrates, pretty loose, I have heard."
These declarations m&do by n British offi
cer in India, seven years ago, afford some
cluo to tho present state of affairs in that
country.
Wo havo no timo now ti indulge in
further general remark. Wo here opentd
the latest intelligence of operations in In
, dia :
