NU~ Mr.. Buffum, in his speech in the Cali

Bar Mr. Buffum, in his speech in the Cali
fornia Assembly, wherein he proposes to ex-
empt California wine from the provisions of the
prohibitory liquor law, give the following inter-
esting statictics concerning the culture of the
vine in that State:
"In Los Angeles county-the vineyard of
California-there are already under cultivation
as many acres covered with the vine as there
are in the whole of the great State of Ohio, the
pioneer in the wine manufacture in the United
States.
"In Los Angeles the number of bearing
vines amount to 100000; the number of acres
under grape culture is 1900; the quantity of
wine which can be made to the acre is 400
gallons; the amount of capital invested in the
grape culture is 81, 900. 900, and the number
of persons engaged in the various branches of
the business is, 1000. Thus, these 500 acres
only under grape culture can produce 600, 600
gallons of wine annually, which, at two dollars
per gallon, will yield in this single district the
annual income of $1,20O,OOO If there are in
this State but 100000 acres of land which can
be brought under the grape culture, they would
produce 10000, 900 of gallons of wine annual
ly, which at one dollar a gallon, would give the
enormous annual revenue Of 500, OOO, 600

CONTINUATION OF THE KENDALL CAsEs.-Yester-
day again, says the True Delta of the 18th, w. G.
Kendall was called for trial before Judge McCaleb,
for the robbery Of a package containing $40 in
bank bills, RENTED from Memphis in the mail Of
the 18th June last and which mail Kendall's coun-
sci endeavored to show by the evidence Of subor-
dinate postof6ce officials before the O. S. Commits
soner, never was received at this Office. On the
case being called Kendalrs counsel presented an
affidavit Of Kendall asking for continuance on the
plea that a witness Of importance for the defence
the same plea as in the Galveston letter theft
could not be obtained in time. The q. S. District
Attorney asked the defence what they expected to
prove, which being explained, he at once expressed
,s readiness to permit it to 60 to the jury
ing 70 himself the right Of showing that the evidence
was utterly untrue, and, in the case of Childers,
oy documents authenticated by the witness himself
Notwithstanding this accommodating offer to the
District Attorney, who eyinced proper anxiety to
bring the case to trial, the Counsel Of Kendall de-
cined 70 proceed when, Of course, the DELAY asked
for was very obngngly frnished BY Judge Nc

MORE Enthusiastically morning we had an.
other fine rain as well as little shower on Thurs.
day. The fears entertained for the corn crop are
beginning to be dissipated-particularly for such
as was planted late Of course there is little hope
for such as had the ears formed before the rain.
As to the cane, we cannot expect remunerative
crop, although some pieces-on very fresh land
look quite promising The health of our town was
never better than at present.

The DRAaooSs.-It was with unfeigned regret
that we were compelled to decline the invitation
extended to US to accompany this new military
corps on their to the hospable residence
OF the Messrs. ELLIS, on Saturday last. However,
we can assert on the very best authority that all
went on exceedingly well without us. II was re-
gular gala day with the Dragoons They performed
al the necessary military evolutions in manner
deserving the highest encomiums, and their pro-
fciency Is really astonishing when We consider
that this was only the third time they have ever
paraded. most bountiful repast was spread by
the liberal hosts which was disposed of in soldier
hike style. Toast and sentiment passed freely along
the board, and some uncommon good things were
said, and wellmerited compliments given and re-
sponded to. On their return, the company were
invited into the private mansions OF msny 81 our

A TRRIBLE HAIL SToRM.-The annexed ac-
count of hail storm which visited Pickens Dis
trict, S. c., on Friday the 18th ult., exceeds
every thing of the kind we have read or heard
of. Hail stones 10 inches in circumference and
four inches in length, lying upon-the ground
sir feet deep.
The severest hail storm that ever visited this
section of country, passed down the East side
of Keowee river, in the afternoon of Friday,
the 18th inst. It extended about two miles in
width, and ragged with great fury, killing hogs
fish, birds, fowls and insects; manning and
bruising the cattle, and stripping vegetation of
every vestige above ground. The growing
crops, with the exception of corn, is completely
ruined. R. Stewart, ESQ.,, informs US that on
the third day after its fall, the hail was from
one to two feet deep, and in many places, six
feet. The average depth on level, after the
storm, was four inches. We are informed by
several persons that the largest hail stones
measured ten inches in circumference and others
4 inches i'll length. It fell with such force that
the boards on several houses were split to
pieces, and that now the stencil arising from
the decaying vegetable matter is very offensive.
We are indebted to the kindness of w. J.
Parsons, Esq, for small carpet bag full of the
hail, gathered up on yesterday (the eighth day
after its fall. Some of the stones were as
large as guinea eggs. and had been taken from
an open field, the thermometer standing at 80
during the two days past.
The storm extended from the mountains in

HARPER's MAGAzINE.-Messrs. Bennett & Ga
labert have just laid on our table the June
number of this excellent periodical. The con-
tents are varied and interesting, and will be
read with avidity by all. The illustrations are
more numerous than usual, while the desings
| and their execution suffer nothing by compa-
| rison with any previous number. The leading
article is entitled "The History and Mystery
of Tobacco" and all lovers, as we'll as haters of
the weed cannot fail to be deeply interested, in
its perusal. In the course Of the article we
find the following delectable morceau on the
practise Of "dipping'
In this connection it is perhaps proper to no
| tice most scandalous report, circulated by
some ill-natured persons to the prejudice of the
ladies, the point of which is, that they snuff
as dentifrice: To imagine that device so
shallow should be resorted to for the purpose
of concealing the use of tobacco in its worst
form, seems impossible; yet honest men have
been led astray for we find this mutilated
paragraph going the rounds of our most res
pectable journals: "Of all the detestable,
obnoxious, offensive, unnecessary, and abomi-
nabe limitations which dear woman is guilty of
inheriting from fallen, depraved, corrupt, and
wicked man, that of snuff-dipping stands pre-

totally at variance with all philosophy, reason,
scripture, taste, and refinement, and utterly in
comprehensive. We wish it were dream
we wish it were q romance-we wish it were
not SO; but sad reality presents the picture Of
an angel Of beauty, with heavenly smile,

IMPLEMENTS OF DEsTRUcTIoN.-Every few
days, says the Journal of Commerce, some new
invention is announced, the chief merit of which
is its extraordinary ability to destroy human
life. Men are earnestly endeavoring to discover
the best possible means for saughtering each
other:
At Baltimore, an Improvement in artillery is
exhibited, called "Shaw & Ames's Patent Re-
volving Battery" 1t consists of brass cy-
Under, revolving horizontally, and containing
any number of chambers, with stationary
barrel. 1t is loaded, primed, fired and swabbed
all with one simple movement of break, which
was repeated eighty times in one minute. The
whole operation can be performed by one man.
At Boston, on Saturday, an experimental
trial was made with breech loading carbine
patented by Col. J. D. Green, which was dis
charged fifteen times at target LIS yards dis
tant but one ball missing the mark. At 200
yards, twenty shots hit out of thirty The
carbine weighs only seven pounds, and can
easily be discharged ten times per minute.
In New York, new revolving rifle T" has
been exhibited, which is claimed to possess
many advantages over Colts invention. Itcon-
tains eight barrels, in separate pieces, to be
detached from the gun before loading. Two or
more sets of barrel may be used in connection
with the firing apparatus, and can easily be
carried in the pocket. By using three sets,
twentyfour balls can be fired in minute.
