1.-The supply of native wines, greatly as it is
on the increase, lardly keeps up with the in
creasing demand All the wine older than five
years, of Catawba, is out of market, and the
Sparkling, although not requiring such large
lapse of time to fit it Tor use, is taken off as fast
rs it can be made for market ..
"There are about 200 acres of grapes in
cultivation in the vicinity of this city Every

to the number Of persons engaging in the
business"
A HEAVY BRlCKBAT-The Tammany Society
of New York celebrated the Fourth in a becom-
ing manner, and received many letters from in
vited guests who could not attend. Among them
we find one from Charles J. lngersoll, of Phila-
pelphia, from which we make an extract In
referring to the distinguished Englishmen who
have come over to this country to attend the
Worlds Fair, he says:
English nobemen like the Earl of Durham
and the Earl of Ellesmere are among the most
useful surveyors this democratic country can
have. They look beyond the mere resources of
its people and vices of its cities into the vast
agricultural and planting developments of its
free institutions and eontrovert the silly dis
paragement of less educated tourists
The Earl of Ellesmere is nearly connected
with the Duchess of Sutherland, whom he NAV
inform that as freedom is the fulcrum, slavery
has been the lever Of that prodigious and ma
tional ACKNOWLEDGEMENT by which the American
colonies have chunged places with their mother
country, extending Burke's fine fancy Of the
daughter near sixty, to her also clothing her
parent.
By means Of these American pacifcators our
British kindred, instead Of hating and abusing
IIs bay fria IL L.; /
blood relations should be; and that is all the
founders Of democracy, Jefferson and jackson,
asked for and fought for, When Great Britain,
by her government, literature, society, and sci
ence, treats us kindly, our Declaration Of hide
pendence declares that we are friends
1t is to be hoped that Lord Ellesmere will ex-
plain to the Duchess of Sutherland and her
meddlesome camarillas that their extrayagant
applause Of gross Misrepresentation of Ameri-
can slavery will have no other effect than to
deaden, II not defeat, the growing amity between
her country and ours
Retraining from hard terms applied to those
mischieyons ladies, we might otherwise retort
that every negro slaves dog is better fed, housed
nursed, and taken care Of than many Of those
called tenantry in Scotland, Ireland and Eng
land, And Lords Shaftesbury, Carlisle and
other nohlemen may learn that there is better
right and reason for assailing the Inherited in
situations OF their privileges than the inherited
institution OF African slavery in this republic
slavery IS by far the most ancient and extensive
Of tn two institutions, and if there be anything
IN the unennobled wisdom of ancient Greece
and Rome, and modern France, and this country
which have interdictcd nobility, it is more IRA
tlonal and injurious than slavery
