CATAWBA WINE.

This song of mine
l. a Song Of the Vine,
To be sung by the glowing embers
OF wayside inns,
When the rain begins
To darken the drear Novembers.
II i not a song
OF the Scuppernong,
From warm Carolinian Valleys
Nor the Isabel
And the Muscadel
That bask in our garden alleys
Nor the red Mustang,
Whose clusters hang
Der the waves of the Colorado,
And the fiery food
OF whose purple blood
Has dash of Spanish brayado.
For richest and best
Is the wine Of the West,
That grows by the Beautiful River;
Whose sweet perfume
Fills all the room
With benson on the giver.
And as hollow trees
Are the haunts of bees
Forever going and coming,
So this crystal hive
Is all alive
With a swarming and buzzing and hummng
Very good in their way
Are the verzenay,
And the Sillery soft and creamy;
But Catawba wine
Has taste more divine,
More dulcet, delicious, and dreamy.
There grows no vine
BY the haunted Rhine,
BY Danube or Guadalquivir,
Nor on island or cape,
That bears such grape
As grows by the beautiful River.
Druggcd is their juice
For foreign use,
When shipped o'er the reeling Atlantic,
To rack our brains
With the fever pains
That have driven the Old World frantic.
To the sewers and sinks
With all such drinks,
And after them tumble the mixer.
For poison malign
Is such Borgia wine,
Or ut best but Devils Elixir.
While pure as spring
l. the wine | sing,
And to praise it, one needs but name il;
For Catawba wine
Has need of no sign,
No vernbush to proclaim it.
And this song Of the Vine,
This greeting of mine,
The winds and the birds shall deliver
To the Queen of the w est,
In her garlands dressed,
On the banks of the Beautiful River.

fSr 4 cotemporarv saws: "Tbe,

fS- n cotemporary says: "There
is man up in our county who always
pays for his paper in advance. He
has never had sick day in his life
never had any corns or toothache-his
potatoes never rot-the weevil never

back to the place from which he was
taken. If Walker, the felon. as some
call him, is fugitive from justice. let
the courts so determine He under
stood that Waller left this country in
ship with rsgular clearance. He
gave his bond bSfore leaving, and can
answer to it. u did not become the
gentleman to ssy that Walker is a
fugitive, when hi came here on parole,
and when the Executive said to him,
" Go in peace, ue bare no charge against
you" He repeated that Walker and
his men should le put on board ma
tional ship and returned to where they
were before the outrage ON them was
committed.
Mr.. Bocock believed that Commo-
dore Paulding hadacted illegally, and
while he preferred, to hear from the
Executive in response to the resolu-
ton for information, he wanted the
neutrality laws inquired into. He
maintained the unlimited power to
use the army and Navy on the Ocean
where those of other nations can be
legitimately employed.
Mr.. Grow was pleased to see such
feelings manifested on the other side
of the House at the Executive en-
croachments on the rights of our citi-
zens. He asked that the rule applied
to the sea be applied to the land, for
the army during the last two years has
been employed in Kansas, perpetrating
outrages and injustice on the rights
guaranteed to every freeman.
Mr.. Maynard trusted that this ques
tion would be discussed on its intrinsic
merits, separated from Kansas, Utah
and all others. lie took it for granted
that Commodore Paulding and Capt.
Chatard thoughtsthat they had plenary
power and ample instructions for the
course that they deemed proper to
pursue. If they were acting under in
structions of that character, they
should not be reproached for obeying
them. 2
After further debate the Committee
arose and the House adjourned.

Missouri and Free Soil.

The New Orleans Crescent, in late
article, laments the probability of Mis-
souri, becoming free State. We ex-
tract as follows:
"Mlssouri is now about a free soil
state, and will undoubtedly be so utter
iy IN few years. Delaware is a free
soil, though nominally slave state
lake these two commonwealth and
add them to the seventeen free states
now i'll the Union, and we have nine
teen frte and thirteen slave states. 70
these nineteen add Kansas, Nebraska
and Oregon, which territories will prob,
ably be admitted at the next session Of
Congress, and we have twentv-two free
soil to thirteen slave states. This VII!
give the tree states eighteen majority
IN the federal senate, and their MAORI
ty III the House Of Represcntatives,w:ll
be correspondingly whelming.-
Therefore, Judging from the facts Of
the past-stubborn, rigid, iron facts
what chance viii the South have in the
National Legislature, when she is com
pletely powerless, and the North pos
sesses absolute control of both branch
es, with man like Seward in the Pres
ldential chair to enforce special, arbi-
trary and oppressive legislation: This
is the question to be asked. and the
question to be considered, if our fellow
citizens desire to arrive at safe conclu-
sions.''
The Crescent seems to take very
fair view of the political aspect of our
glorious confederacy.
We are glad to see such honest con-
victlons emanate from so vile source
as the columns Of the \. o. Crescent.
No doubt little of the constructive
bile so long lying stagnant in the bow
els of the Crescent has become "stuck
up" by the prospect Of a ''free soil'' ma
lorlty at the recent Kansas election.
Let the thing work, brother Crescent.

FROM the Washington Union, Tuesday.
How the Administrative takes the Lee
compton defeat,

The results Of the election in Kansa,
leave no doubt ofthc refusal of the peo-
pie to be admitted into the Union on
the terms proposed in the Conference
Dill OF the last session.
This result we do not regret. There
rs no longer any reason for treating
Kansas as exceptional to the general
rule prevailing in reference to the adj.
MISSION OF new States into the Union,
Justice to thepeopls ofother Territories
re2"'res Mat they shall hare q suhe-
te'at population, before admission ~
e"tttte them at least to one yepr6sc,,ta,
tee IN Congress- About one hundred
thousand people is, and ought to be the
lowest number entitled to such adj mis-.
sion. There are no well-eroundcd
grievances IN remaining under terrific
rial forms, and this seems to he tho
Judgment of the Kansas people. They
have decided thus tn remain. and as
they have at length come to realize that
peace Is better than rebellion. we trust
they 'rtH rat till their launber c0V far
q change Of government.
This is cool advice from the Admin
lstrat'on organ. Having tried for two
years to force Kansas into the Union
as Slave State, and been utterly de-
feated In this notable scheme. our~Na-
tlonal Democracy" now turns a short
corner, and tell us that there is no hur-
rly about admitting Kansas, and that.
IN justice to other Territories. she
must wait till she has at least 100 600
lnhabitants. Democracy was not only
willing. but anxious to admit bor nro-
vlded she came in with a Pro Slarcr>
Constitution; but now that Kansa,
sp'rnS the E1gl,Sh bride and demand,
to be admitted as Tree State, Democ-
racy coolly tells her to wait till she has
100000 inhabitants.
