a mass meeting to decide whether the Free
Press should continue to be published, or re-
moved as O nuisance. They decided to destroy
the Office, and gave Winston Banks, its editor,
and his friend, Mr.. Lemon, twenty-four hours to

and Banks and Lemon left in less than the time
specified.

WINE GROWING In MISSOURI.

A wine company has been recently formed in
Missouri, for the manufacture of wine from the
grape vineyards Of the region, and the product
of this manufacture, appears in the market this
wear for the first time. The enterprise promi-
ses complete success, as good profits are realized
and experienced connoissenrs do not hesitate to
declare the American wine superior to many Of
the choice foreign brands. Missouri seems pc
culiarly we'll adapted to the grape culture; for,
while blasting and mildew are said to have be-
fallen the grape crop in Ohio, the vineyards in
Missouri are free from blight, and now promise
a rich harvest. The Jealous cultivators expect
to displace all foreign brands, among discrimi'
mating Judges of the article. The st. Louis
Republican describes at much length the works
of the Missouri Wine Company, the process OF
manufacture, &c. The main building is very
wide and $50 feet in depth, having three cellars
beneath it, hewn out of solid rock, the lowest
of which is 33 feet below the surface Of the
earth for the purpose of securing low tempe
rature. The Catawba grape is almost the only
one cultivated for wine. though good success
has been had in making sparkling wine from the
wild grape, which brings SO per dozen. The
choicer varieties of Catawba rate at $l2 to Sl3
per dozen. The Republican says,
In the year 1856 the Company manufactured
10000 bottles, or $4,000 gallons of the three
forms of Catawba The present year the amount
will not exceed 10000 bottles The failure Of
the crops last fall advanced the price of the un-
manufactured article twenty-five per cent, be-
sides limiting the quantity, so that the Missouri
Wine Company contracted their operations.
We understand that the business of wine
growing is profitable. An acre of vines proper
ly tended will yield 400 gallons Of wine, which,
at one dollar per gallon, the usual rate, will
yield S400, or $3.50 net, as it costs not more
than $50 per acre to cultivate the grape and
press out the wine The first cost of procuring
the vines and preparing the ground, we did not
learn. But the cost subsequently is not above
the figures stated-ffty dollars per acre.-Balt.

THE JEw.-Lady Shell, the wife of the Brit
ish Ambassador to Persia, in q book entitled,
" Glimpscs of Life and Manners in Persia" says
the Jew cannot :" he taken under any form with
which we are acquainted with him-whether
us represented on the monuments of Egypt or
of Assyria or in the purest stock still found,
either in Europe or in Asia-as the type of ply
sical beauty. In common with all the Semitic
races, he has high development Of the intcllec-
tual faculties especially of the imagination. In
this respect lie yields to none. But the we'll
known characteristics Of the race-the sharp,
hooked nose, the sensual lip, the peculiar form
of the profile, are too prominent and defined for
perfect beauty Of fc ;tures. And these peculi-
arities are not to be attributed to any intermix-
tllrc of blood, 10 variation Of climate, to politi-
cal changes. or to social condition. The Jew OF
to-day is the Jew of the Captivity, the jew Of
the kingdom OF David and Solomon. Even to
this hour tie Shibbolct might still be his pass

TRANSPORTATION OF NEGROES FROM AFRICA
TO THE WEST Unconstitutional the Earl Of
Clarendon says he has no official information Of
the fact, the London Daily News declares that it
is nevertheless quite true that the French gov.
ernment has entered into contract with q Mar
seilles house for the supply of $4,000 Africans
to Guadaloupe and Martiniqpe.ssT The contract
.was gned by the french Of Marine
and Foreign Affairs, and Messrs. Regis, the
Marseilles traders, on the 18th Of March last.
The negroes are to work under an engagement
for ten years, at little over two dollars month,
out of which each negro so imported has to pay
at the rate of 36 cents month, the cost of his
transport, estimated at about thirty.six dollars.
Messrs. Regis are to receive hundred dollars
for each adult immigrant
So far as appears, not word is said in the
contract binding Messrs. Regis to ship only ne
groes who voluntarily tender themselves for emf
grafton, or not to pay money to induce negroes
to come on board their vessels. The wages they
receive being less for month than the wages
for week in the adjoining British possessions,
it is no wonder that the British statesmen are
much exercised thereby, and that they propose
to follow the example-Richmond Dispatch. .

Stewards Know Nothingism.


While Col. Stewart was speaking in the

having joined the Know Nothings, and de-
