VIEW OF WASHINGTON CITY AND
GEORGETOWN.

WE are indebted to the publisher, Mr.. Casimir
w Bohn, of this city, for splendid photographic
view of the city of Washington and georgetown,
and the adjacent country, including, upon the
margin, particular representations of the important
public buildings, and other objects of interest in the
city and vicinity. The view seems to have been
taken from the terrace at the Capitol and embraces
the whole range of Pennsylvania avenue, and the
remaining portion of the city westward from that
point. 1t is very correct and very faithfully
cuted 1t is altogether superior to any view o
Washington and its vicinity which we have ever
seen. 1t forms beautiful and pleasing picture,
and will be deemed very desirable ornament for
the parlor. II is work involving great labor on
the part Of the artist and considerable expense on
that of the publisher, which we trust may be amply
remunerated by liberal and generous patronage
on the part of the public. It may be had of Mr..
Bohn the publisher at his stand at the Capitol and
probably at the stores of the booksellers in this

MISSISSIPPI WISE.-Mr. J. Noyes, residing near
Natchez, has manufactured wine that, on account
of its excellence is beginning to attract considera-
BILE attention. The editor of the jackson Soutaron
says:
"Last Saturday, in company with few others,
we participated in tasting some specimens Of wine
made from grape, cultivated by J. Noyes, at Holly
wood, near hatcher, Mississippi, and were graft
fed that this and important branch OF domcs-
tic industry has been brought TO such high state
of perfection among U.S. and that species Of wine,
partaking largely Of the character Of the famous
''Tokay,n may be successfully cultivated within
our borders. The greatest difficulty in cutivating
in this latitude the Catawba, Isabella and other
common grapes Of the country, arises from the hu-
midity Of the climate, which rots causes them to
die out or degenerate in two or three years. This
fatal impcdimcnt TO success in vine growing is en-.
tirely avoided by planting the Roanoke grape, 50
successfully tested and improved upon, for num-
Der Of years. by Mr.. Noyes, and which lac has found
peculiarly suited 10 soil and climate. Il is said
the Roanoke grape resembles the Scuppcrnong
grape, but understand from Mr.. N. that the
analogy goes further than 10 their external APP
pearsnce, being entirely ofa different species The
taste and flavor Of the wine made at Hollywood are
unequaled by any domestic wine produced on the
American continent, and surpassed only by two
descriptions Of European wines. Mr.. Noyes has,
by his system 'pf culture, greatly improved the
richness and flavor of the original Roanoke grape,
and secured plant admirably adapted to southern
ATTITUDES. Those, therefore, who disposed to
cultivate the grape, have a double inducement to
patronise Mr.. Noyes; they will thereby obtain a
species suited TO the climate, and one which will
yield description of wine that will command three
four times the price obtained for that made from
the common grapes in cultivation in the northern
and middle States In addition TO this, we under
stand Mr.. N. keeps on hand and for sale almost
every description of plants fruit trees and vegeta-
bles, suitable either for ornament or use; and hav
ing paid great attention 10 such matters, we hope
he may receive liberal patronage for thosc who,
by study and experiment, multiply and extend the
circle Of useful products bcnefactors Of the pub
lie, and, as such, deserve the sympathy and cncou-
| ragement Of every patriotic citizen.

The earth is bleak, and drear, and sad,
Where SHOWS have mingled with each other
Its breast in robes of ice is clad
Yet tits our cold. our only mother.
Before her genial bosom froze,
In fond embrace then clasped together
The grass our bed--we found repose
On the soft lap Of that kind mother
But spring, that gave her beauteous green,
No longer breathes its balmy weather;
And early flowers no more are seen
To bloom DER our frost withered mother!
Summer, that made the grain to wave
Ger fields where we have slept together,
And left US but q cherries mother!
And autumn, that, with low winds deep,
Cast yellow leaves one DER the other,
Hath flown, and left us here to weep
Upon our cold, our frozen mother.
Winter has come, with ice and snow,
As if the spark of life to smother;
Oh whittier, whittier, shall we go,
To find some dear protecting mother?
All! Mother Earth! on thee we call,
For thou protect'st the worm, our brother
Hungry and cold we'd gladly fall
Into thine arms, our faithful mother
Oh! thou whom storms do ne'er assail.
Whose children feel no wintry weather,
Oh! hear the orphans piteous wall;
They need the kindness of a mother!
Thou who around our Saviour's grave
Didst earliest weep and latest hover;
Oh! for His sake who came to save,
Wilt thou OH wilt thou be our mother?

Tl,e NEW Gas.

We copied day or two ago from the Baltimore
Clipper some account of the new Water Gas. AS
the subject of light one of much general interest,
we add the following account Of the new gas-its
cheapness and great brilliancy-from the Balti-
more Sun:
"BRowN's PATENT WATER GAs.--We have
lately had an opportunity of examining some Of
been patented by Mr.. c. +. Brown, talented and
persevering citizen of Baltimore, and which seems
destined to be much used for lighting cities,
factories, or private dwellings.
1.-The only material of cost employed in the
manufacture of this gas is rosin of the commonest
and cheapest quality; the vapor of which is made
to combine with the hydrogen of water in such a
manner as to entirely remove and obviate the diff
cultes heretofore existing in the use OF rosin for the
purpose of illumination. IL is well known that
rosn, of all materials of little value, contains
bon in excess; while in water-the cheapest of all
ingredients-we have never failing supply of by
drogen, the principal element in all illuminating
gases, and only requiring cheap and efficient
fully and cheaply found in rosin, to form most
beautiful light, second only to that of day. This
desideratum, we feel confident in announcing, MIR.
Brown has most effectually obtained, and his sue
cess almost vcrifes the predictions which have &c
often been made to the availability of water for
all the purposes of light and heat.
'sMr. Brown has associated himself with several
gentlemen of experience in this branch of manu-
facture, and who have thoroughly investigated the
advantages of his invention, for the purpose Of Sc
curing to citizens the benefits of cheap illumin
alton.
Zone of Mr.. BIS apparatus has been placed in
the National Hotel at Washington, and others are
in operation in this city. We have seen gas
made on one of these improved apparatus, for
which, although Of nearly four times the density Of
coal gas, and consequently, offour times the value
the material cost less than fifty cents per thousand
feet, and the entire cost, including attendance and
fuel but little more than double this sum. Sun.
We understand that the right to use this new ga,
is in the hands Of some citizens Of Washington,
who are nightly lighting up the National Hote
with it. Besides its beauty and cheapncss, ii is
said to be recommended by its freedom from the
horrible stencil which exhales from the fluid or re-
sidium of the ordinary gas.-Nat. Inteiiigencu
