Those who have ft ''sweet tooth" in their howls must pay for its grutilication in these times, with sugar at 12,13, and 14 conta a pound retail. It is bad enough to be obliged to pay such prioes, but it is still ■worse to tell, as some of the New Orleans papers do, that the sugar crop this season is a dead failure, and that sugar must go higher than it hm over been known before. Just think of it, yon who can't swallow a mouthful of coffee without sweetening. The worst of it is, that we ore constrained to believe these statements correct, howi TO.- much we are disposed to look upon them as crcalrings. But in times of (rouble, it is a great consolation to rent ono's spleen in talking, to fay nothing of tho ingenuity called into play to deviso remedies for the evil. Hence, tho sugar culture is just now a sweet topic for newspaper comment and speculation.

A 1'ntr.a Ihirnt and Highway Iiohbtrie» committed by the Jiuffians— Wheat and Corn ir the Territory. Anderson Co., K. T. Aug. 5th, 1850. On the 1st instant, a company of40 o» 50 from WCHtport and thereabouts, principally from Alabama and Georgia Emigran t Co's, made tlioijr way to a Tillage called l'atafyra, 15 miles southwest of Lawrence, on the Santa Fe road, robbed the inhabitants aaCl burnt the town. Tho news of this outrage being hastily conveyed to Lawrence, a company started in pursuit. They wore overtaken, and a considerable portion made prisoners, without the exchange of a shot. Coleman, the murderer of I)jw, is said to be ono of the number of prisoners. What disposal will bo nmdn of them is not known. Tho Clay before- this outrage a wagon team mid load of goods, belonging to a firm in Kansis Citf, destined fir u trailing post at Fort Ililey, when a fow miles in the Territory, was taken possession of by thrco men. Tb«y compelled tho man to drive it for thorn about two miles, whoii he managed to make his escape into the bushes, and immediately made hi* wify bncV'to Kansas City. A c rnipnny from that plnco were started in , pursuit of fieso highway thieves, but tho result is" not known. It is said that two of the men were recognized by the driver and were residents of W'estport. It appears that a oommittoo is appointed by the citizens of Wetjtport for the jur'poee of searching every wagon passing l to tbo Territory hauling provisions, goods, o- what not. Tlioy are empowered (by the d 1, I presume,) to tako possession of all a m* and amunition. The merchants of Kansas City are growing justly indignant at this stnto of affairs, from tho fact that some of them who have heretofore sold their $1,000 a day of goods and produce to the inhabitants of the Territory, now scarcely sell anything. Tuo people of tho country are anxiously conniving at somo source othor than Missouri to obtawL sustenance. They repudiate the idea of giving their custom and funds into hands where it will be used only for our dostruetion.The subject of war, however, must not engross the whole attention. I lmvo been on several excursions to different parts of the Territory within the last few weeks. I find the wheat crop, which was harvested tho lost weok in June, excellent, though not so extensive as we would wish. Comparatively little was sown. The difficulty orignating at the time it did, was the cause of about one-third loss corn being planted than otherwiso would have been, but enough, I think, to supply present "home consumption," and I can assure yon, the "corn uodgor" will be eaten hero, in proforonco to that very dear luxury, Missouri flour. Tho preparations here for sowing wheat arc such ns to warrant us in tho conclusion that our neighbors across the lino, will find tho ready homo market for their surplus prodiico, and by which many of thom have filled their pockets with hard earned xpccU of tho Free State eottlors of, Kansas, knockod into au. eternal '* cocked hat."—Cm.

Wo copied a few (lays since from tho Now )rlcans Crescent, an urticlo written by an exicriencod sugar plnntor of Louisiana, giving authentic statistics relative to tho production if sugar in that region fora number of years, tnd revealing the rnther remarkable fact that he yield in Louisiana is not half what it lias mjou, aud that for tho lust three years it has Iccrcasecl astonishingly. This has caused the ligh price of sugar, and it becomes important o know why the crop lias fhilod thus lor sevDral successive seasons. One theory is that ho sugar cano, like many other plnnts propigated by cuttings or slips, deteriorates and iccnmes extinct unloss regoncratod from timo o time by tho production of fresh stocks diectly from the seed. In Louisiana the cultiatoil plant never produces seed, tho sole deicndcuco of the planter being upon the eutiugs. This goos upon tho assumption that the datitis inexhaustible in its propagation, ard :hows a lack of attention to the nature of the lubjoct which might legitimately produce a tiiluro of the crop. The thoory that the plant lotorioratcs by this Louisiana method of culivation is sustained by very high authority, tnd is most likoly correct. It Bhould, however, mve b -en long ago investigated anCl settled Dy the planter's. Congress has recently adopt:J measures uiih a view to facilitating the m, or ation of seed cane ; and thus; if the fceory bo true, the«vil may be remedied. A 'ariauon of it is, tliat the plants propagated 'rom.cuttings, do not become extinct, but are lubjoet to deterioration from their liability to li'oase. Tho result is a failure of the crop. It will be noticed that both of these explan-11 ion attribute tho malady to. defective cu I ture. \ writer in the Nationailntelligenoer (peaks if another error of management quite as wd;— * "It is known that the continued proAnotiori Df a single species of plant npon almost any toil will eventually exhaust it of those elencnts especially required as its pabulum, if :bat element be not carefully aaoen-tniuod and lystomntically returned to the soil. Is this lot probably tho caso in regard to tlio sugar iclds oC.Louisiana? Chcinioal analysis has ihown that nearly one-half of tho inorganic nnttor contained in 'tile cans itself is pliosihate of limo, and nearly a fourth silicin - I'ho bare statement of this fact must Assuredy suggest to every mind tho probable cuuse if tho evil. In the continued culture of sugar ipon the same lands, as of everything else, a udieious system of rotation, with a liberal iupply of manure, is essential, and, as has icon intimated, the latter must be of tho kinds ipccially indicated. The lower priced guanos ind bone-dust are best adapted to supply the ; but these to some extent are lontainod in tho barn yard, and ninny other nanurcs in use. In tho alluvial soils of the Mississippi valley, silicia Is probably even nore .meagrely furnished by nature, and its •cturn is, theioforo, more frequently colled "or. A partial supply of it may bo obtained 'rom the cane itself by by boiling the bagguso Dr refuse trash in strong potash lye, and then iistributing tho liquid or tho residuum, which would contain a considerable quautity of tho iilicato of potash, upon the soil." This is the same want of agricultural skil! ivhich has worn out so much good land ill Virginia in tho raising of tobacco, year after year, until the soil was exhausted It in rtrango that those engagod in raiaiag the ireat staples of tho South, will not learn wialom, until tho lands become utterly worthies* through bad management. All throo of these theories ascribe the evil to the cultivaiors, aud the errors they have oommitted aro distiuctly pointed out, as being first, the neglect to introduce fresh seed stock, instead of going on raising, year after year from slips, until the stock became diseased ; and second, the exhausting of tho land by cultivating the sauie crop on it unvaryingly, i us toad of observing the proper rotation. It will naturally bo O-ikcd whethor, if seed stock bo introduced* tho production will be again as large as formerly ? That dopends upon tho truth or falsity of the assumption thai the soil has been exhausted by the negleot to rotate crops. If both the stock and the soil have been exhausted through u bail system of culture, we may as well look about us for )i supply of sugar from some other quarter than Louisiana. If even the soil be exhausted, it Rioy well bo questioned whether all the manure put oa it would enable the planter to go on growing sugar year after year, as fcunierly. Those investigations and speculations tb dot hold out JJB consumers a very pleasing prospoet for the future, but it is as well to look tho truth in the face. By tho transfer of tho sugar culture to ney lands, and the use of new scod stock, relief might be obtainod, yet if tho pLftQtor carries his vicious methods with him, tho same thing will happen again. Qno way of getting oyer tho diffioulty would bo to uitroauoo extensively into the rieh prairie States of the Weet tho cultivation of tlio sugar beet, now so successfully practiced in Trance.

Tie then asked-the minister whether be thought that ministers ought to preach on politics in (heir pulpit t To which inquiry lio reooived the respectful reply, that " ministers of the gospolought t) preach against all sin." Upon this rer the farmer caught op tho minister's satcnel, containing his Bibles, and threw it very violently out of his house into the road and then ordered the minister to leave also, stating at tho samo time that he would "rather have a d d sheep-stealing dog in lis hou e than a d d Abolitionist!"

Only 3J5.j5.20 persons of the 0,408,464 whites in the Sowth are Slave owners; anil these, as we have already shown, aro reduced 1 to 6#,000 holders of slaves in sufficient quan-' titios to establish a privileged of- oligarchic oiass.
