Another Failure IN Nelo Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. l5-The house Of Shultz,
MADDEN, d Lating, the heaviest produce firm in
the city, failed to-day, owing to the suspension Of
Page Bacon, and others.
The liabilities Of the houses which failed ON Sat
urday were $2,5oo,ooo but as their assets largely
exceed this, 1t is thought they win resume.
Information from reliable sources states that the
estimate of the cotton crop of the year win not
exceed three million bales.
Itappears to be conceded that all estimates
formed by parties connected with New York and
Liverpool houses have proved extremity erroneous.

REroRrED FOR the
DAILY AMEHICAN ORGAN.


HARarsBuR0, Jan. lG.--Governor Pollocks IN
auguration win take place at ~ o'clock to-day.
The following is an abstract Of his inaugural mes
sage:
He says that civil and religious liberty, freedom
ofspeech and of thepress and freedom Of worship,
are the birthights OF American citizens, and that
no royal edct, no pontiical edet, can restrain or
destroy when their rights are assailed by mad am
bition or foreign influence. 1t is then that the
ballot-box, speaking in thunder tones rebukes the
wrong, and vndicatesthe freedom Of man and the
independence Of American citizens.
With regard to application for chartering new
banks, he says: An extravagant, improper or UNI
reasonable increase is not demanded by the com.
munity, and cannot be justified or defined. The
present financial embarrassment he says, demon
strates the necessity for legislative caution but he
viii not hesitate to sanction the re-chartering of
solvent banks, meriting the confidence Of the com.
munity.
He speaks decidedly upon the necessity for the
sale of tho public works, and aludes to the defeat
of the prohibition question at the last election and
says, that it becomes tho duty of the Legislature
to consider what other legislation is necessary, to
correct the evils of intemperance. Herecommends
the passage of stringent license law, giving and
granting power to courts and also law to prevent
the liquor traffic on Sundays.
In abiding 80 the pardoning power, he says that
the demands Of justice viii not be overlooked
that to prevent abuse of this power and protect
the Executive from imposition, notice Of intended
applications for clemency should be published
where the trial and conviction took place.
The repeal of the Missouri compromise he terms
violation Of plighted faith and the honor Of the
country, which has received stern and mcrited
rcbuke. :
He advocates strong protection Of American
industry-the Improvement of rivers and harbors---
ajudicious homestead bi-reformation Of the nat,l-
ralization laws-and the prevention of immigration
Of foreign paupers and convicts.
During the delivery ofthis message, large bodies
Of military, composed Of companies from the city,
and surrounding towns, were paradcd, and made a
grand display. The streets are alive with excite
ment

A WORD ABOUT WINEs.

Few, who drink wine, are aware of the
vast quantities of the spurious article in the
market If those who boast so frequently of
their crusty Port, their choice Claret, CT their
rare Champagne, knew how scanty was the
supply of these wines, and how enormous the
demand, they would be less positive in pre-
nouncing the decoctions they drink to be "the
pure article" A few facts on this subject
may not be valueless.
The finest wines are invariably the produce
ofpeealar soils, and require rare combinations
of light, moisture and heat. Generally such
wines can only be grown on the sites of ex-
tinet volcanoes. In most cases the district
where the vinyards lie, is astonishingly small,
comparatively. The south side of a single hill
yields all the Johannisberg that is manufac-
tured. A little valley in MadeirA produces all
the best Malmsley. The wine district Of
Rhingan, famous one in Germany, near Rude.
sheiin, contains but forty square miles The.
weII-known Steinberg comes from the vineyard
of a suppressed monastery The Romance
Cont is grown on a farm of only SIX acres
and a-half and the Clos Vougeot, on one OF
eighty acres, The exquisite Chateau Lsfitte
