IN MEMORY OF LITTLE ELLA.
Ella, my child, thou hast flown away,
TO live in the light Of IN endless day,
Where flowers Of Spring shall forever bloom
And the saints are all blest in their final doom.
Yes, fair one, thou hast left Inc here to mourn,
TO stay for season aluno and forlorn;-
But as thou nrt now cherub that fleth,
OFT visit thine own dear mother, who lieth
Wutchful Mt midnight thinking of thee
Gone, as thou art, with thy kindred to be-
Other three chcrubs, my own infant band,
Who also have left for the letter land.

twenty dollars were paid for single seat. If

ULRICA WINE.

Last week, We took occasion to visit the vine.
yard of our friend, Dr. Ulrich, which is situated
seventeen miles above this place. The Doctor
has most pleasant location, and an excellent
vineyard consisting of some ten acres, where,
beyond doubt, is manufactured the best wine in
the United States He has an experienced Ger.
man, at the head of some eight or ten slaves, who
do all the work about the vineyard, thus adding
a sectional flavor to his alreaS popular wines.
He informs US that the demand is steady and in
creasing, so much so that he could, if the wine
we're forthcoming, sell twenty thousand gallons
per year. 1t seems to lis that this, in ITSELF
would be an inducement to 60 into the operation.
We fully believe that the hills Of Taapoosa,
planted with the grape, can yield more gain to
the farmer than the rich fields of Montgomery,
Greene, Marengo and other counties do to the
planter of cotton, Take for instance, the exam.
pie before US. DR.. Ulrich cultivates about ten
acres, the product Of which is 5000 gallons still
and sparkling wines. Estimating the price of
the wine at 81 per gallon (which by the by is
cheap we see the snug sum of $4,000, less the
expenses, made from nine acres Of poor hill land.
Can this be beat2 We leave the answer to all.
1t is the intention of Dr. Ulrich to increase the
number of acres in cultivation from year to year.
His farm is well fitted up for the purposes for
which it is adapted. it, in the side of avery
large rock hill, he has blasted cellar, which re.
scmbles cave, that answers the purpose of
keeping the distilled wines cool. The wine has
been estimated "No. l." by the New York epi.
cures, and we, otter lengthy aud satisfactory
trial Of it, are willing to give endorsement to
their dictum.-Dadeuille (Ala.) Banner.

DEATH FROM YELLOW FEvER.-Jacob Delkcr,
a young German, from Port Carbon, near Potts
Vile, Pennsylvania, who arrived in this City on
on Monday night the llth inst. died yesterday
Tuesday morning of Yellow Fever.
To allay all unnecessary excitement, andto
prevent the circulation of false and exaggerated
stories, We deem it proper to state all the facts
connected with this case, upon which the public
may rely most implicitly. Mr.. Delker left Phila.
delphia in the steamer Key Stone State, and ar.
rived in Charleston on Monday the lth inst,
where he remained till the afternoon train left,
which he took and arrived in this city at i
o'clock Monday night. About 10 o'clock Friday
morning, the 18th inst, he was attacked, when a
physician was promptly called in, who immedi.
atcly recognised the symptoms Of a'well marked
and vrulent case of Yellow Fever, which terlni.
mated fatally yesterday morning.
These are the facts just as they occurred, and
they should excite no alarm or apprehension
among those who desire to visit the city, as no
danger is apprehended of the spread Of the dis.
ease. The city was never, at any season of the
year, (eveu md-winter) more healthy than now,
rs the bills of mortality show, and persons frcm
the country should not be deferred from visiting
it by any fear of disease.
Should any thing occur to change this opinion,
the public shall be promptly advised, and warned
not to incur any risk.--Aug'tsta Chronicle d.
Sentinel, 20M inst
