New ferina and ne.ere,.

In the House Of Representatives on the 4th inst. Mir. STRONG, from the committee on elections, made report in the case of the delegate from New Mexico, accompanied by resolution that it is in- exPedient to admit HUoH II. SMITH, Esq, as de;e- gate from New Mexico. Tine principal ground of objection to be that his admission would in- terfere with the sovereignty Of Texas, for the son that hs claims by his election to represea. a portion or all of the territory in dispute between Texas and New Mexico.
 Also, from the same committee. resolution that 1t is inez9edent to admit ALxoS W. BAssrrr. Esq, to sea, in this body delegate from the alleged State of Deseret. The reason of this resolution is that it was apparent that thoss by whom MT. B,B- BIT was sent did not contemplate hts admission to seat in ths House until some form of goyernme ut 'hali have been given to them by Congress.

Tnras>CInrn, MIne.

We find the following tn an exchange paper = An excellent elaret is now manufactured in Texas from the Mustang grape. As many as five barrels have been made upon g single Piantston. The spontaneous production ofib grape in Tsxss eH- cseds all belief. Thousands of hogsheads of Wiue, nowise inferior to French caret, could be msau
 factu.ed every year from this hardy native grape"
 The culture of the grape is beginning to attract the attention of enterprzing agricuturists in many parts of the country. In the neighborhood of Gin
 cinnaii Ohio, large fortunes realized from the production of vineyards. One individual, we informed, receives an income of three thousand dollars per annam from three acres of grape vines carefully tended. We see DO reason why the ex- pertinent may not be equally successful among cur selves No soil seems better suited for the grape, nor produces more abundantIy, than many portions of Arkansas. The labor is light and the profits great lt would be but little trouble or expense to our enierprizing farmers to make the experiment..
