AMEnIcAN WISE.-The n,anuE, turc
of Wine is extending in Ohio which it
is said will make it's value rs famous
rs the Maine or the Rhine. 4 Ia
tive grape, the Catnwb., closely re-
scmbles the best Of the Champagne
Wines of France, and is growing rap
idly into favour with the connoiscurs.
The Wine Committee of the Pcnnsyl.
rania Horticultural Society says of it,
in their report of the Sparkling Ca,
tawba, lS4s, that "a more cxpusitely
favored champagne it would he dii:
ticult to meet with among the most
celebrated foreign brands. The dry
wine from the same grape resembles
and comparably with the celebrated
Hook wines Of the Rhine, for which i,
has been mistaken by good judges.
These wines are composed of the
pure juice of the grape, with no nlco-
Ilolic additions whatever. When such
wines are produced in abundance in
this country, as they soon will be,
our people will know for the first
time what pure light wines really are.
Very few Americans, except those
who have travelled abroad, estimate
properly the moral value of pure light
wines, because pure wines seldom find
their way across the Atlantic. Their
introduction into common use i'm this
country will doubtless be the founda.
tion of a great reform in the habits of
tic people; for it is q conceded point
thHt an abundance of light wines
acts t" discourage the free Of ar.
dent spirits.
Millions Of dollars, moreover, are
annually sent abroad to pay for
druSScd and branded compounds sold
under the name of wine, which accord.
ing to all medical testimony, arc
prolific sources of disease, when cur
own soil can supply us with pleasant
and innocent beverage, whose use
would be free from the moral and
physical evils that attend upon the
consumption Of the more dclctcrious
liquors. Hitherto, the local demand
for the Cincinnati wines has not been
more thp supplied, though or sew.

The President anea MIR. Law.

The New York Herald Of Sunday
last gives the following as the origin of
the letter recently addressed by Presi-
dent Fillmore to Mr.. Maxwell, CoIlec-
tor of the p rt, in relation to Mr.. Law
and the Cuban difficulty:
The history of this letter. so far as
Mr.. Law is concerned, is as follows:
On the l4tl inst, Mr.. Maxwell ad-
dressed note to Mr.. LAW, inviting an
interview. Mr.. Law called at the Col.
lcctor's office on the same day, and Mr..
Maxwell read to him an extract of q
letter which he said he had previously
written the President, pretending to
give the language ofan interview on or
about the llth inst. The Collectors
letter stated that Mr.. Law had said to
him, that he should send out the Cres-
cent city, and if the vessel was fired
upon she should be surrendered, and
he would go to war with the Govern
ment Of Cuba. Mr.. Law immediately
replied that he had made no such de-
claration-that the idea of his going to
war with Cuba was nonscns and that
in making statement to this eff, ct to
the President, he (thc Collcctor) had
misrcprcscntcd him. That which he did
say was, that the Crescent City had
gone out, and would land at Havana as
usual, and That if she VAS fred upon
and hit, the ship, being unarmcd, would
be SURRENDERED and the officers and
crew remain at IIavanna rs prisoners;
and that upon such question, the
country would go to war ifthe Outrage
were not rcdrcsscd, or he was mista-
ken in his estimate of the character and
temper of the American people. Mr..
Maxwell promised to write to the Prcsi-
dent, and correct his mis-statcment.
On the following day, (l5th inst
Mr.. Maxwell sent to Mr.. Law "A letter
containing these mis-statcmcnts, which
he had promised to correct, dated back
to the list OF November, and portion
of it purporting to be the substance of
letter addressed to him by the Prcsi-
dent. OF this letter, Mr.. Law took no
notice, for the reason that so much of
it as purported t" he the Collectors
own letter to the President, he knew
to bc incorrect. and he thought it not
improbable that he may also have mis-
stated that Of the President; but if he
had not the Presidents letter was based
entirely upon the n,is-Statcmcnts of
the Collector. Had the Presidents let
ter, or copy of it, been sent to Mr..
Law, without the introductory mis-
statement of Dir. Maxwell, Mr.. Law
would ut once have replied to it, with
the respect due to the Chief Magistrate
of the nation. Mr.. Law has had no
correspondence with Mr.. Maxwell, and
preferred not to have any.

E>ilERnAve Ride.

| a MISUNDERSTANDING from tour
snpe, relates to the Boston
Sho following incident, which
SPlace at st Petcrsbnrgh:-"Sev-
Wal of our shipmatcs were on shore
having good timc,' when in passing
through the square containing the col
ossal statue of Peter the Great, one of
them declared that he would have
ride OH that horse; and no sooner
said than he made leap over the iron
fence, and actually commenced climb
ing up over the tail Of the horse, and
before the astonished crowd could in.
tcrfcrc to stop the movement, the cap
tain was actually seated on the colos-
sal horse, behind the Great Peter. The
Yankee had accomplished the purpose,
and taken his ride on Peters horse, but
the most difficult part of his enterprise
was still before him, viz: to escape
from the horse without falling into the
hands of the guard, who are constantly
stationed around the statute for its
protection; and here our captain sig
nally failed. lie was arrested in his
descent from the lofty seat, and found
that there was, in every deed, but
u step between the sublime and the
ridiculous, as he was led away from
Peters statute to the prison. lie
was tried, convicted, and fined $4,000
for his folly. BY the intcrposition of
the American Minister, the fine wa<
slightly reduced, and was then paid by
. the captains consignccs, and lie was
released from prison after only n
few days confinement. When the cap
tain demonstrated with the Judge at
the larSeness of the fine, saying that it
was rather an expensive ride, the
Judge good natnrcdly replied, that
the captain never before rode SO
expensive q horse"

great Audube n, and DR.. BachmSfn of

I'm animal us the Catamount or tiger
cat existed upon the American con-
i tinent. We nevertheless believe that
. an intermediate species between the
cnt and catamount exists in this
State, and refer our readers to the fol
/ lowing facts: For the last six years q
Z tiger eat, as it is called, has been fro
quently sect, and heard Of by reason of
its dcprcdations, in and around the
Maidendown and Ten mile Bays. Some
of his pranks are exceedingly interest
4 ing, but as time and space ntcrvencs.
we will mention but two, of recent &C.
currence. Some six months since, his
b catship appeared suddenly before a
negro Of Mr.. John l.. Smith, whilst
fishing. Though quite alarmed our
hero stood his ground, especially as
che creek was lazily flowing between
them. Not so however with our
feline friend, who walked rcsolutcly
in front of his cRcmy, grinncd as if
with the intention Of intimidating him,
and then with the greatest dclibcra-
tion, commenced passing the Rub
icon. A yell or two ftfe negro brought
his dog Co his side. who rushed nobly to
the resciie, and whilst this rear guard
was busily employed with wild Grim
akin, the African force rapidly fell
Z back upon the reserve (tlle planta-
tion Of his owncr.) A hunt or two
was now instituted but without sue
cess, and finally all thoughts of the
affair ceased. The cat however was
not yet satisfied, and about a month
since whilst Chris. c. lIuggins, aS Jed
eleven, and his cousin aged nine years,
We're making little wagon, afcr night
fall, they heard noise ut the
blocks. Guess their surprise upon
seeing an unknown monster slowly ap-
! pfoaching.-Bcing upon the oppo-
site side "f the fire they saw it dcibe-
rately advance, whilst they ran to
the house. The unbiddcn visitor then
rose upon his legs and after viewing
the premises and smelling every
thing around, retired. The alarm was
\ given, the tracks examined and pro-
Iounced to7be' those ofrhe tiger cat.
The boys are both accustomed to
EMckwoods life and are therefore not
easily frightened. They described it
as q yellow bear, but our inform
ant, Capt. Jesse G. Higgins, the ia
thcr of the Oldest boy, and who
says he has seen it three different
times, and has frequently examined
its truck, unhesitatingly pronounccs it
the tiger cat. The Captain says that it
is longer bodied and tailed than the
common Wild Cat, and that it's foot is
about twice as large. lie calls it a
t'ltamount. A reward has been Offered
FIR either it or its entire skin. We
hope soon to make its acquaintance.
