AMERICAN VINEs.-Mr. H. C. Williams, who was
last fall dispatched by the Patent Office to make
explorations in Western Arkansas, part of the In
dian territory and Northern Texas for the purpose
of obtaining information respecting the grape vines
of that region and making collections of the same,
has returned, and brought with him cuttings of nu-
merous varieties of the native grape there found.
The region he trayersed extends from little east
of Fort Smith, on the Arkansas to the Lower Cross
Timbers, in Texas, and includes considerable por-
tion of the Choctaw Nation. Eight hundred miles
of this he traversed foot, examining and col
lecting. The cuttings and vines he has brought
with him to Washington have been placed by the
Patent Office in proper hands here for roofing out,
with view to their future distribution in such a
way as will be most likely to ensure their propaga-
tion Of the principal varieties of these grapes the
Washita, white grape, is deemed the most excel
lent. 1t has been introduced into France, and there
pronounced unsurpassed by any kind there both for
wine and the table.
The extraordinarily severe spring of last year,
which in Arkansas cut off even walnut and oak trees
prevented any thing like good collection of the IA
nous plum trees of that region; a few, however,
were collected.

EPIDEMIC AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VRGINIA.-An
epidemic disease partaking of the character of ty
phoid, is prevailing among the students at the Uni
versity OF Virginia, at Charlottesville. A large
number had been attacked, several had died, and
the students were fast returning home in alarm
The Board of Visitors at the last advces delb-
Grating upon the propriety of suspending the coegi
ate exercises. The disease is supposed to have orig
mated from the confined and ill-ventated dormi-
tories in which the students sleep, and which have
been unusually crowded in consequence of the large
number in attendance this winter. The subject has
already been brought before the Virginia legisla-
ture, and appropriation of S25 900 is proposed to
provide for the enlargement and Improvement OF
the dormitories

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS IN TExAs.-The Galveston
Necs Of the 9th inst. had letter from correspon-
dent, making general tour of the western coun-
ties of Texas, who gave the following fatterng
report OF the c0nditi on of Williamson county,
Land in this rich and lovely prairie was going
begging at seventy-five cents per arce. Now
how changed is the scene. The forty fifty
thousand acres in this prairie is about one-half
in cultivation; the settlement has increased to
about seventy-ive families. Horses and cattle,
houses and fields greet you in every direction
There is one field in this prairie of twelve hun
dred acres, several of five hundred quite num-
Der OF. one hundred, and great many of fifty
or seventy-fve. The crop is entirely grain. l
have been travelling in Western Texas for the last
six weeks, and have not found, until coming here,
any place where the people had provisions of their
own raising. Here there is great abundance and to
SELL and at reasonable rates considering the great
demand elsewhere. The single item of corn can be
bought here at one dollar and fifty cents per bushe
while at Austin, only twenty-eght miles distant, it
sells for from two dollars and half to three per
bushel. Wheat sells here, and great deal for mar
ket, at two dollars per bushel and mills to grind it
on; and flour at Austin is from eighteen to twenty
dollars per barrel.
Brown county, as he wrote, was not so fortunate,
the Indians being particularly troublesome. He
says:
| am informed that, up to this writing, three
hundred and twenty-eight head of fine American
horses have been stolen, five men killed and two in
dividuals taken prisoners, alone from Brown county,
and that the Indians say they will have San Saba
county, and most of that beautiful and fertile re-
gion created into counties by the last Legsla-
ture.
A party of Reserve Indians returned to the In
dian Agency about the 18th ult., numbering about
hfty from a scout to Red River, in pursuit of hos
tile Indians who have been committing so many
depredations. The scout had been absent from the
Agency thirty days, during which time they had
surprised party of hostile Indians and took from
them sixtythree horses, mules and three prs-
oners, one of whom afterward effected his escape
The other two-one an Indian, the other a Mexican
were tried by the Reserves and condemned to be
shot as horse-thieves and enemies of the whites.-
Twelve of the tribe executed the sentence with rifles

MINNEsoTA.-The Legislature of Minnesota has
passed bill amending the constitution, that the
executive officers of the State may be qualified and
enter upon the duties of their respective offices at
specified time, in the event of longer delay the
part of Congress to recognize Minnesota as State
to the people on the second Monday in April, 1858
provided the State shall not be admitted prior to
the time of holding said election. The terms of of
flee will commence on the lst of May, and continue
until January, 1860 except that of the auditor, who
will continue in office until 1861.

THE Texas legislature has just passed bill open
ing almost the whole domain of the State to sale
fixed prices. The commissioner of the land office
is authorized to sell land scrips in quantities of l60,
800, G40 and l,2S0 acre tracts. The lands in the
Pacific Reserve to be sold at 81 per acre. the alter
nate sections invade railroad and Galveston canal
grants and lands all the islands 81 per acre,
and all other public lands at 81.

CRIMINAL PROSECUTION FOR UsURY.-The Roches-
ter Union of the 5th, has the following:
Police Justice Bardwell has under advsement
charge of usury preferred against woman. The
facts, can obtain them, are as follows:
A Mrs. Ellen Scribner, of New York, loaned, some
time since, $500 to E. r. Hall, bookseller of this
city, for which she received note for 5000, making
the rate of interest for the loan something like two
per cent. per month. A few days since this lady
and her husband came to this city and instituted
summary proceedings against Mr.. Hall, by which
his effects were seized and sold to satisfy her de-
mand.
1t appears that Mr.. Hall had other creditors who
desired to secure the payment of portion of their
demands from the effects of Mr.. II. They there
fore directed their attorney, c. L. Clarke Esq, to
institute proceedings against Mrs. s., under the
nsury law, which he did yesterday, before the Po-
lice Justice. warrant was issued, but the de-
tendant being in feeble health, could not leave her
hotel, and the examination was postponed. The
statute against usury provides a punishment of
not more than ST 600 fine, Imprisonment for six
months, or both. Prosecutions under this statute
not frequent, and the will excite some in
terest.

had a falling out the other day. Lovely women
was, of course, the cause. Having conscious scru-
pies against dueng they resolved to adjust the diff
iculty by an appeal to the code fistic, Or as we
think we have heard it called, ''the manly art of
self defense" They accordingly met with their
seconds in lonely cow-past1re about two miles
from the College. They fought nine rounds, and
with skill, zeal, and vigor that might have elected
the admiration of Becher Kay of Upton Slasher.
One of the parties very badly whipped and vic
tory consequently peached upon the banners of the
other party. What makes the affair particularly
racy, is the fact that the lovely above alud
ed to is a dashing mulatto.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR-FIvE PERSONS BURNT TO DEATH.
"A horrible affair occurred at New Philadelphia,
named Gray arrived there, recently from Iowa
with his sister, who was deranged, intending to
stop there few days until he could make the ne
cessary arrangement to take her to the Insane Asy
lum at Columbus. The sister was placed in a lock
up near the town for safe keeping. During the
night near neighbor discovered smoke issuing
from the lookup, and gave the alarm. Before any
aid arrived the building was wrapped in hames.-
Miss Gray, two women, girl about fifteen, and a
young man, who confined in the building,
perished in the flames.
