New Orleans papers of Wednesday have
been received. The evening edition Of the
Picayune has full details of the alleged sell
zure Of the Locilla Valley by Gov. Lane
Gov. Lanes proclamation, after setting
forth the grounds en- which he claims the
disputed territory, proceeds thus:
81, VIM. Carr Lane, Governor Of the
Territory Of New Mexico, upon my own
official responsibility, and without orders
from the Cabinet at Washington, do here
by, in behalf Of the United States, take
possession of the disputed territory, to be
held Professionally until the question of
boundary be determined"
Col. Sumner, military commander, posi-
lively refused TO support Gov. Lane with
his troops. The Governor is, however,
generally supported by the American resi-
dents.
Rio Grande dates 10 the 18th are re-
ceived. Carvajal and his lieutenant, Nor

ing in under the guise OF friend. We must
keep our eyes open. All that is said of the
adulteratiOn Of British wines, is equally true of
American wines. We have no pure wines in
this country, ]. e., very few. The frauds Of
commerce are deep and wide as tho Atlantic
ocean on this subject. Get the chemist to am
alyze your bottle Of wine, which you drink,
self indulgent bon Uiyant, with so much gusto,
and you will learn what It is made Of. A
chemist who examined TWO HUNDRED different
specimens said, he found but one that was made
Of the juice Of the grape. The same frauds are
already creeping into the manufacture Of the
native wines Of the West. Dare these manu-
fscturers tell the whole processP They would
not. Dare they submit what they call the pure
juice Of the grape to the chemists searching am
alysisp They dare not. Much is perhaps
pure, but much is not. And let the native
wine mania spread, and get to be hobby Of the
West, and fraud and adulteration would increase
a hundred fold; brandy would keep pace with
wine, and the young blood Of the rising race
would all be bitten and poisoned with that fire
which is communicated by "the worm Of the
STILL"

New YoRK, April 26.
The Star of the West arrived from San Juan
with dates 10 LIST, and over five hundred passen-
gers.
The U. S, sloop of war Cyanne, and British
steamers Geiser and Midway, were at San
Juan. The latter sailed for Chagres.
The lntelligencer states that the utmost cor
diality exists between the officers of the British
and American vessels.
Intelligence from San Francisco fully confirms
the loss of the Steamer Independence. 1t the
opinion Of those saved that the persons lost will
exceed one hundred and fifty, exclusive of the
children.
The passengers censured the captain for the
manner in which he permitted the vessel TO
strike the reef. They say the morning was
perfectly clear, and when the captain was
warned of the danger, he replied: dGo to hell
and mind your own business" He afterwards,
however, behaved with great courage and hui
manity.
On the night of the Goth, two attempts were
made to fire San Francisco.
-Four persons were killed by the explosion

The people of Sonora are emigrating to the

From the Ohio Organ of TemperAneS.
Tie Mysteries Of the Wine Trade.
(Conclded.)

The conclusions which the writer comes to
from all the Parliamentary testimony is:
/. That nearly all the wines imported into
England, are previously adulterated with bran
dy, or other deleterious infusions.
2. That most Of the liquors sold and consum-
ed as Port and Sherry are spurious mixtures Of
various wines and spirits, or else are wholly
made in Great Britain.
3. That the sole cause of these authorizations
and frauds, is to be found in the high import du-
ty on wines.
We should agree to all but the third oonclu.
sion. The truth is, both the English and Amer
lean people lead high, active, excited life
They are not content, and would not be under
any circumstances, with the dishwater wines Of
France, and Italy. They crave the real Stin-
go. They want it even in their lighter drinks
as well as their stronger. The British Lion
and the American Eagle have a strong animali-
ty, and they cry for the most stimulating food
and drink.
Then they drive commercial affairs TO such
an extent that they do not stick at these frauds
so much as even worse nations morally would
do, not being so hackneyed in the callous ways
Of the world. As to the native wine question
so much talked Of here at the West, we have
no faith at all, that the tuaning of the fair hills
of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, into vineyards,
would ever make us temperance people.
In the first place, these wines will always be
too dear to be the common drink Of the people.
The population increases faster than the wine
manufacture. Then in the next place, the ques
ton has already been tested in New England
and New York, and failed. Cider is the native
wine Of those regions, and the use of cider did
not increase, but destroyed sobriety in the hab-
its Of the people; and now that temperance,
Maine Liquor Laws, and other happy notions
have taken root there, cider has fallen off pro-
portiOnally, and is scarcely used by whole dis
tricts at all, except for sauce, vinegar, &c.
Then you cannot diet off or cool down our drink
ers of whisky, brandy and gin, all cheaper ar
ticles than wine, and induce them to be satisfi-
ed with wishy-washy weak wines. They are
too far gone for that. Neither can you educate
another generation for such moderate bever-
age. If you bring them up on wine, when they
are older they will be ripe for the strong er
drinks the appetite being formed the fires kin
died, and the fuel abundantly supplied to keep
1t going. Again. an important consideration is
that wine countries are brandy countries, be-
cause brandy is made from the refuse, lees, and
remains Of wine. Just as fast as you increase
the vineyards, you increase the brandy distiller-
les, and swell their red streams of fire and des-
truction. The friends of Temperance have
reason to say, then, save us from the advocates
OF native wines, as our real enemies; perhaps
uncOnsciously, for the foist in branch of Gull
ture manufacture, trade, and Investment of caps
its, and habit and interest Of life, which will, II
is certain, prcvea deadly enemy, though com

IN THE DAILY J0UR N A
Cumosrr1Es.-Yesterduy we were told by an

CuRIosIrIEs.- Yesterday we were told by an
old man named Tyler, living in St. Louis coun-
ty, that he has in his possession negro girl
about six years old, whose body, legs and arms,
are marked like spotted horse. She is very
black, with kinky hair, except where these spots
are, some of which are very large, These spots
present the appearance of healthy skin, but very
fair-as much so as that of white persons OF the
iairest complexion. On her forehead is white
blaze, extending from between her eyebrows
some distance under hair. All the hair on her
head is very black except that which grows
over this blaze, and that is in color like the
whitest wool.
1t is pretty hard story; but we don't ike
unless we know the man better, 10 say right
down that we don't believe 1t.
He talks about exhibiting her.
AHorHER.--A bystander stated that there is
in Monroe county white boy who has black
spot covering the back of his neck extending
half way down his back, and covering both
shoulders.

One hour after striking, she was envelOped in
flames. The only persons left on board was the
captain aud coal-heayer; the boats having re-
turned from shore, the Captain got into one of
them and SuSCeededin picking up many persons
VINO were still IN the water. The captain then
took tho boat and pulled around to Masdonlen
Bay where he found a schooner in which he
immediately proceeded to the Island. The
wThaleshiP Trenton was finally chOrtered to take
the survivors to San Francisco, where they ar
