vineyards, cellars, &c- which the founders ana
oriQinators Of this celebrated brand had owned
Such being the fact, we need not dwell upon the
superior quality of their Wines, the reputation OF
the same among the American public being already
identified with unsurpassed excellence,
We beg particularly TO notice that ihslr orana

being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH

GEN. HARNEY's MAssAcRE.-By a
letter from a soldier who was engaged
in the battle of Blue River, where the
U. States troops, on the Sd of SeDtem-
Der massacred near one hundred Indians
including good many women and chill
dren, we learn that the conduct of Har-
ney on that occasion, was most atrocious
and bloodthirsty. The Indians were
anxious to treat, and willing to do all
in their power to remedy the mischief
that rowing parties of their young men
had perpetrated, but Harvey was re-
solved TO murder them, and after de-
tanning them in pretended conference,
until he had surrounded them, broke up
the sham negotiations, and slaughtered
men women and children in the most
barbarous manner. The bideous fero-
city of the murder, was only equaled
by the more than savage villainy of the
violation of all rules of honorable war,
to get the poor Indians hemmed in by
his forces. Gen. Harney is a brutal
wretch, and deserves universal and eter-
nal execration. The battle of Blue
River is more disgraceful to the couk-
try than the bombardment of Greytown
or any other of the pusillanimous and
reckless war-like performances of the
Administration. About fifty Indian
women and children were taken prison
ers at Blue River, and kept closely guar
ded. They said to the soldiers that
there was no danger whatever that they
would run away, for as the men were
dead, and their winter stores gone, who
would kill meat for them. They must
live with the soldiers or starve.--C Gin.

NAPoLEoE's REvENeE-THE HUMrLI-
ALTON OF ESeLAsD.-The Corsican Ven-
delta is nearly accomplished, for the
humiliation of England approached its
consumation when Queen Victoria stood
before the tomb of her country's NOR
tai enemy in the wierd torch light
which flickered along the walls of the
Invalides. She stood there as the de-
pendant of his nephew--a supplicant to
the mercy of the Nspoleonic race, which
knows no mercy for its foe-a Queen in
name beside an Emperor in fact. Did
the spirit of Sir Hudson Lowe hover
around the scene? Did the laugh of
the "Old Guard" which, according to
the German legend, attends the nightly
reviews Of ls pitt corporal on the dreary
shore of St. Helena, ring scornfully
through the sombre wall? No; it was
but fancy, but the vengeance Of the Ma
poleons was reality.
The visit of Queen Victoria to Paris
was little more than a conqueror's pa
peant, in which she acted the part of .
distinguished captive, which could not
