CIDER WINE.

Being AWAKE that mach wine sold
for genuine champagne was manu-
factured from cider. we informed a
correspondent short time since OF
this fact in answer to his inquiry
The following letter was elected by
the reading of the answer referred to:
Mr.. EDIToR-I am we'll aware
that intuition wines are now extern
sively made in the State of New
Jersey from the juice of the apple,
and more from Harrison Apples than
from any other variety, and the most
of it is made at Newark. Those
knowing ones are correct with re-
gard TO its being a mixture of pois-
,onous drugs not fit for the human
stomach.
Having been in the horticultural
business for over forty years, have
had an eye single to those spurious
wines from the juice of the apple.
l. is gratifying to me to think
that when you come to taste and
test the wine which | send you ac-
companying this letter-you will
find wine, a pure article, free from
all drugs, aud not an imitation, The
sample send you is eighteen
mouths old, and made after the fol-
lowing process:
Take pure cider made from sound
ripe apples as it runs from the press;
put 60 pounds Of common brown SUI
gar into 10 gallons Of the cider
and let it dissolve, then put the mix
ture into clean barrel and gill the
barrel up to within two gallons Of be-
ing full with clear cider; put the
cask into a cool place, leaving the
buug out for 4S hours; then put in
the bung, with a small vent, until
fermentation wholly ceases, and bung
up tight, and in one year the wine
will be fit for use. This wine re-
quires no racking--tbe longer it
stands upon the lees the better.
STERNE BRUNsoN.
Eiart, hadiana,.fprI, 1856.
1t will be observed that our cor
respondent has, for the benefit of all
concerned, described the method OF
making pure cider wine, and it is for
US to say something regarding the
sample sent US. 1t is a good cider
wine, the best we ever tasted. IF il
had any fault, it consisted in being a
very little too sweet. This can be
remedied by using less sugar than the
above named amount. A barrel Of
cider contains 81 gallons. Wine
from currants can be made in the
same manner exactly.

And they shantied.

INA PET Some men are always
in trouble. Do what they will
turn this way and that, and every
thing is wrong. 1t is nothing but
murmuring with them from daylight
till dark. At their homes-their
place of business, and in the street,
they are in pet, and are eternally
making wry faces.
Rather than pass an easy day,
They fret and chide the hours away,
Grow weary of the circling sun,
And vex that he should ever run
The same old track; and still and still.
Rise red behind yon western hill,
And chide the moon that darts her light
Through the same easement every night"
The above, written century and
a half ago, is as true as when it was
penned by Isaac Watts. In our day,
We have seen just such complaining
characters.

The yincennes Murder.

MILLER's ExAMINATIoN.-We give up a
large share of our space to the evidence in this
case, as detailed upon the examination before
M. L. Edson Esq, on Saturday last
No witnesses were examined except those
called by the prosecution; yet Mr.. Miller was
let off on bail of only one thousand dollars
No man can say that there was not fairness
and most honorable course pursued in this
whole matter. Miller gave himself up. The
testimony of those who were to condemn him,
if possible, only was heard, yet he is let off on
bail Of $1,000. A most whitening rebuke,
truly, to those who have been bewailing the
''bloody butchery'' the 'horrid murder the
lawful crimeh' for selfish political purposes
We refer our readers for the truth in this mat .
ter, to the evidence itself as substantially Civ
en- in another column, with the single remark
that it is the testimony of Miller's political en-
emies, in every case, unless we except that of
the physicians. Not even the stale and false
cries of Know Nothing oaths can be set up in
this case. Not even the most bitter political
hatred and malignity can allege unfairness or
paItiality, in the examination. Wedo not say
thst Miller is not guilty of crime: this questiC n
is yet to be settled by the proper court. But
we do say, the examination Saturday must
completely spoil the crocodile sympathy of GER
tain violent partizans, who were MARRYING
poor Powers.

SENATOR DoUGLAs.-Senator Douglas ar
rived in Washington on Friday. We learn
that he docs not deny that his sentiments to-
wards the Administration have undergone an
important change; indeed, his mind has expe-
rienced revolution US to Gen Pierce and his
Cabinet. He considers its policy towards
Central America, pusllanimous and mistaken.
The Walker and Rivas Government in Near
aqua, he says should have been promptly rec
ognized, and the virtual reputation of the
Clayton and Bulwer Convention, should not,
in his opinion, have been submitted to Con-
gress without a distinct recommendation as to
the mode of obtaining redress.
Upon Kansas affeias the Illinois politician is
less communicative. This is delicate ground
for him, and he does not go into detail con-
corning it. But here, too, he condemns the
course of the Administration and charges upon
it responsibility for the civil war now inlpend-
ing, and in truth actually begun in the Ter
ritory.-[N. y. u INES, 12A.

Death of Chas. T. Cutler.

+ We were grieved yesterday to hear of the
death of Mr.. Chas T. Cutler, formerly of this
city, and lately of Granada, Republic of Mic
aragua. The news came in the following ex-
tract from general dispatch dated Granada,
JAN 31st:
A fearful epidemic, resembling yellow fever,
has been killing off the army, and the recruits
arriving have been necessary to till up the
gaps created by this scourge. The mortality
averages six or seven per day, and was con-
fined almost exclusively to the army. Among
the recent victims were Charles L. Cutler, ed
itor of the Nicaraguense, and Judge Geo. H.
Campbell, recently of California, and formerly
of Boston.
We presume there can be no error in this.
Mr. Cutler was bora in Nashville, Tenn, and
was in his thirtieth year, when, far from home,
relations and old friends, Death laid his hand
upon him. He'was printer by profession,
and learned his business in this Office. Three
years ago the coming spring, he started to
California. He was engaged in several offices
there, we believe, as partner During his
residence in California, he was a frequent cor
respondent with his friends at home through
this paper. His letters were always full of
interest, and formed probably the best Cali
fornia correspondence we have ever published.
Lately he was connected with Parker H.
French and others in the publication of a pa
per at Marysville. He finally went last sum
mer to Nicaragua, South America, soon after
Capt. Walker had established himself there
He at once assumed the publication and edi-
torship of the Nicaraguense, in connection
with another gentleman, at Granada. We
had frequently received copies of this paper
from him, and had been daily looking for a
long letter, when the sad news came of his
death. We extend our warmest sympathy
to his family.
Since the above was written, the following
has been handed us by Dr.. Hallock, from the
columns Of Mr.. Cutters paper:
From Ell Nicaraguense, Jan. Is
AT half-past 10 o'clock this morning, Chas
I. Cutler, the pioneer of American journalism
1 in Nicaragua, after short but severe Illness
closed his eyes in death. The perseverance
of his medical adviser, nor the kind attention
Of his friends could stay the fearful rapdity
Of the destroying disease; but sure and steady
as the siege of great citadel, the curtains Of
the grave were drawn around his body, when
the commissions came, and the open eyes were
closed in darkness, and the mortal structure
rested from it's wearisome travail. His funeral
took place at p M. under the directions Of

most probably owing to break in the ice

was some melting going on as usual during

animal.
