THE TRUE DELrA.-The appear
ance OF this sterling paper, in an en-
tire new dress, affords an opportunity
for US to say something for it that we
have long had in store.
We feel satisfied that every impair
tial reader in the country, will endorse
our sentiment. The True Delta is by
all odds the most independent Journal
in New Orleans. It speaks boldly
and fearlessly on all subjects; expos
ing without regard to frowns or favors,
all the private juggling Of wire-work-
ers that come within its ken.
This is, or should be mission of the
press, and whilst it il, it must act as
the palladium of liberty. The news
paper that must cringe and screw
about to suit all parties Of "land rats
and water rats" can b, nothing bet
ter than sorry milk and water affair,
though it be more profitable to do so.
Such a charge cannot be brought
against the True Delta and hence We
conceive it to be the True Republican
the Democratic organ-the people S
paper, irrespective Of party.

ScUPpERNoNG GRAPE.-The safest
and only period for pruning this vine,
is just at the time when it has been
disburdened Of its ripe fruit. l have
come to this positive result, not only
by logical reasoning, that the sap must
be least abundant when it had gone
through the most exhausting process
that the vine is capable Of that ofre-
production, that by actual experiment
upon them every month in the year,
have come to the demonstration OF
this discovery; and it is equally GER
tain, as general experience has estab-
lished before, that to attempt to prune
it at any other time, the vine dresser
is sure to kill the stock and ruin the
vine.

| 10 By private intelligence, we
learn that our friend and fellow citi-
zen Tom Owen, the Bee Hunter, is
located at Albany, New York, and
publishing newspaper.
Perhaps no man in the nation has
had q life of more varied incident,
than Tom Owen. He is Artist, Au-
thor, and Editor, all combined. In
following the bent ofhis own genius,
through the ups and downs, incident
to these occupations; he has met with
rare incidents, that have been care.
fully slowed away in his capacious
mind. ard they have made him a ''fel'
low of infinite jest, and rare anecdote. "
Tom Owen has started more papers
painted more pictures-and written
more books, than any other man in
the nation. He was with "our army
on the Rio Grande and deserves the
"credit" of first bringing out FAC
Taylor for President. He not only
pulled the old man into notoriety with
his own pen, but he painted him in
e1ery conceivable attitude; before the
camp, and behind the camp--with, and
without spy glasses on horse and foot
standing and sitting. He post
lively painted the old gentleman so
often, that he could make very good
likeness of him after while, with
chalk. A very excellent full length
of the General" now adorns che Hall
of the House Of Representatives in the
Gothic Capitol of Louisiana, in this
place, from the pencil of Tom Owen.
In that picture the General has his
hands behind him "a favorite attitude
of the Generally and he is looking

Appropos Of Toms pictures Of the
General. When the old gentleman
was actually nominated for President,
letters came pouring into him from
all quarters, to such an extent that he
could do little else that. tear them open.
The Generals residence at that time
was at the barracks at this place. He
had consequently but little time "to
sit" for pictures. This rather inter
fered with the Artists arrangement.
For the time bis occupation was gone.
The Artist had heads enoug h Of the
General, in his study; but orders were
on his table for ''full lengths, what
must he do? This was the re,tion.
The General had no time to sit for
his extremities. Had not a lucky
expedient occurred to the Artist, the
world would have had to do with the
"full lengths then on hand. A
thought 'siezed the ingenious Artist,
Author and Editor-he went and had
his own body and legs daguerreotyped,
and from that period invariably paint
ed the Generals extremities from his
own picture-to which they bore a
striking resemblance. We hope the
holders of full lengths will not value
them the less on this account.

the cultivation of Wheat. We have fine

Before the Revolution Albany county pro-
duced good deal Of Wheat, it being the sta
ole of the Dutch settlers under the PATRON,
for several generations, yielding, according to
authentic history, from 20 TO DO bushels per
acre. Anxious to make all the farmers in the
State tell their own stories as to the amount
of their respective crops in ls45, we so pre-
pared the census schedules for that year as to
attain that object. In Albany county they
reported 233,295 acres of improved land or
