Grapes.

Without attempting TO detail the various
modes of planting and training, which
have been tried, will merely state that
which has proved most satisfactory
Take vines one or two years old, i'll the
spring, and plant them in rows running
north and south; the rows 10 be six feet
apart, and the vines eight feet apart IN the
row. Within year or two, at your lie
sure, prepare posts with bottoms OF locust
and tops of pine fence railing seven and a
half feet in length, and set one equl-dls-
tant between every two vines in the rows,
50 that they will stand five and half feet
in height. Then procure galvanized wire,
No. IL or Is, and having bored five small
holes through each post, at distances ol
eleven in, pass the wire through, draw II
tight and fasten each end. The upper
wire is TO rest OH the top of the posts, and
be fastened by staples. Then paint your
posts, and brace those at the eXtremitleS
of the rows to enable them TO bear the
weight, and you will have the foundation
of vineyard which will endure for at
least one generation.
! planted one hundred vines in this man
ner several years ago, and | am sailshed
thal | cannot improve upon the mode.
The distance is ample, as it gives ior'y-
eight feet surface for the roots OF each
vine, and nearly the same trells Tor the
fruit. The wire being galvanized, Will
not rust it makes no shade, and affords a
convenient support for the tedrils TO CHING
to. The rows, running north and south
give fair proportion OF sun to eacn siue'
The bottom of the posts made oil locust,
for the sake of durability, and the tops OF
pine, for the sake of convenience IN at
iaching the wires, and are painted to pre-
serve them and improve the appearance.
A considerable saving of expense can be
made by painting the wire white when
can be done very rapidly by taking con
and spreading il over a pailing, or SUCK
,hrusl through it, and applying the paint
with an ordinary brush. The paint Will
preserve the wire many years. :,
Having thus planted my vineyard,
!irs, proceed to train from each vine two
horizontal arms along the lowest wire.
At the mex, auiunnaI pruning these arms
are shortened Ia four feet in length, and
are always ,lus KEEP, between two posts.
A(Ier this train from each arm four uP-
right shoots gradually, liom year to year.
until they reach iopmost wire, cutting m
10 one or two eyes the alternate years.
No r,,le can be laid down on this subject,

on The rigor OF each viue. ! ne c9'nn'oh

Letter from Mr.. CIay.
. WAsHINeroN, 29!h August, ls5O

WASHINGTON, 29th August, 1850.
" Gentlemen-I have the pleasure to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter,
inviting me to attend public dinner pro-
posed to be given in honor of Gen. Henry
S. Foote, at Warrenton, on the 3Ist IN
slant. l should be most happy 10 be
able TO attend on that interesting occasion,
as well on account of the qualification |
should derive from meeting many highly
esteemed friends, of both political parties.
in the county of Fauquier, as to testify
by my presence and assistance, 10 the
very high merits of the distinguished
Senator from Mississippi. Prior to the
present session of Congress, had only a
casual and limited acquaintance with him,
and | came to Washington with impress
sions somewhat unlavorable towards him.
These have not only been entirely re-
moved, by my personal and official inter
course with him, but his course and con-
duct, during this long protracted and ar
duous session, have impressed me with
the conviction that he is an ardent, able
and enlightened patriot. In the trying
scenes which have passed and are pass
ing, no one has surpassed him in firm
devotion to that Union which believe TO
be the surest and best guaranty of all our
political blessings. Prompt, ready, and
full of information, in debate he has
sought with untiring industry and patriotic
zeal, to heal and adjust the agitations and
dissensions which unhappily affect our
common country. Such distinguished
statesman deserves TO be honored and
cherished every where, but especially in
that State which gave him, you, and me
our birth respectively. regret that my
public duties here forbid my sharing in
the testimony intended TO be rendered to
him at Warrenton. hope that the fes-
tival will realize all your anticipations,
and be worthy of the ancient dominion
and of her patriotic son from Mississippi.
] am gentleman, with the highest res
pect, your friend and obedient servant,
III. CLAY.

ford, Scott, Chiffon, &C., &c.

and then came on the sight which my
very black eyes were aching to see. The
las, sound of the Ginning of an immense
crowd subsidized; all eyes turned toward
The door of the closet where she was, and
so soon as the door opened, cheers, deaf
ening cheers, filled the Hall ! clapping
Of hands waving of handkerchiefs by the
ladies all over the house! yet still was
not moved. She bowed most exquisite,
modest bowl Her dress quite plain, yet
acafully made. Her har--no profusion
of flowers, nor the wild extravagant tor
ture Of the hair. Her form is slender--a
full chest-and mouth like that Of Hon.
Henry Clay She glanced her blue eyes
over the sea ofheads. Her eyes sparkled
like stars glimmering in cloudless sky.
Her motions were easy and natural. She
sang. Her very first notes thrilled through
me. The immense house full of people
were in agony at some of her touching
notes. o, what unearthly and heavenly
music My soul, wrapt in ecstasy,
seemed borne OH TO the Garden of Eden.
| could appreciate the poets words;-
G Her deep and thrilling song
Seemed with its piercing melody to reach
The soul, and in mysterious unison,
Blend with all thoughts Of gentleness and love-"
Her voice echoed! all over the house.
Then arose the madIening shout; for a
minute they cheered 10 get her back
Sure enough she came, and sung over the
same piece and then retired. then could
breathe freer, for had been holding my
breath with intense interest while she sang.
A lady by my side set motionless, like
statue, yet the tears sparkeled as they
wound their way on her cheek, with her
breast heaving with emotions. Another,
and yet quite'an aged gentleman, gazed
with interest, the perspiration rolling down
his face; he turns to his LADY, and says:
''She sings like our poor Emma used to,
before she died" Both wept.
Oh! tell the poor classes all over the
land, that this far famed vocalist was
cnce an obscure girl--yes, poor girl.
Let them intimate such examples, anc be
something while they live.
Every lHlUS AHleIiCdii, 'IHN0 H"'N

native land better than ever. Though
there are great many things which sur
pass ours, vet here in this smoky and
soo,y-aired kingdom, we have none of the
balmy breezes of America, none of the
magnificent forests. no bright, clear cold
lakes, nor gushing springs, nor towering
cliffs.
