GRAPE CULTURE IN THE SOUTH AND
WEsT.-Prof G. G. SWALLOW, State &C.
ologst of Missouri, in recent letter to
the Patent Office suggests the idea that
the extensive areas in Kentucky and TEL
nessee, known as the Barrens," may be
rendered valuable for vineyards. Should
this prove true, the numerous caves con-
timed in the limestone of those regions,
would become very valuable as places of
storage for wines. He says that there
seems to be no doubt that it can be dem
onstrated to the satisfaction of all intelli-
gent wine dressers that there are at least
100000 acres of land in Missouri,
Kentucky and Tennessee, on which the
vine will succeed as well as in France or
Germany.

The Santa Fe mail has arrived. News
unimportant.
Capt. Marcy reached the vicinity of
Santa Fe on the ed of February. His trip
had been long and was attended with the
loss ola large number of mules, and great
lardships.
He would undoubtedly proceed o
make purchases.
The presumption was that his expedi-
ton would be entirely successful, putting
Johnston in possession Of means of trans
porting to Utah much earlier in the spring
than horse supplies would reach him

worse still, sometimes may be bursting
in the lungs.

In the Senate matters look more fayo:-
able than they did week since. Under
any and all circumstances the vote cannot
be had in that body on Lecompten for
two months. Il will be remembered that
when Douglas was whipping up his par
ty with his superior powers to obtain the
vote on the Missouri Compromise, that
the ncagre minority Of thirteen, headed
by Senator's Chase and Sumner, kept the
vote off for sixty days, during which time
the country was reused, and all that could
be done through the pulpit, through the
press, through mass meetings, through
Legislative resolutions, through memorials
of Congress, was done, and with effect.
The same course will be pursued now
Douglas will lead the van. Parliament
tary tactics will be exhaust ID, every op-
position senator will have spoken from the
depths os his heart; the country will have
been flooded with speeches, and aroused
thoroughly before vote can be had on
this measure in the Senate, and Senator
Douglas declares the voc cannot be had
before the first Of July. All ag ee that il
can't be done in less than sixty days.
Attic same time, not a day will ass
in the Senate without the case of the
sauatters in the Indiana Senatorial seats
being brought up, and a yea and nay vote
had upon their right of occupancy
Neither will day pass except the Mime
sota bill will &c brought uT, and ,ot d
upon in some form, SO as to show tie
untry to what depths Of de- graduation the
administration will descend to, to keep
two men in the Senate whom acknowledge
have no right there, and to keep two men
out Of the Senate whom all agree should
be there, but all of which is done to car.
~ through the Lecompton iniquity.
