Nav Wine Converted into Old.

1t has been frequently observed that wine
ripens more readily on the coast than it does
inland. The reason of this has been fertile
source of speculation. 1t has been conjec-
turned that this effect arises from the influ-
ence of the sea air, u small quantity of which
enters the bottles in the process Of corking;
but the same reason would not apply to bot
ties filled and corked elsewhere and brought
to the coast to ripen. 4 similar result hap
pens to wine carried on sea voyages this has
been attributed to the continual shaking Of
the wine in the bottles. But if that We're tue
reason, why should the same result happen
TO wine stored in cellars by the seaside? In
considering this point, the methods adopted
by the wine-makers for ripening their wines
may be noticed At Madeira to hasten the
ripcning of wine, they cover the bottles with
horse dung A similar method is practlsed
in the Cote dor, and in the department Of
Saone ct Loire. NJ. Eergnette Lamotte, q
wine-maker in the Cote dor, tried in 1915 a
method precisely to the reverse. He con-
gealed instead of heating his wine, and it is
said, with success.
NJ. Kruger proposes two methods, one SIM
liar to that of the vine-growers Of Madeira,
and which was the practice of the ancients,
that is heating the cellar by means of pipes,
and the other suspending in the heated cellar
plates of iron over the exposed surface OF the
wine. The iron, he contends, when in
state of oxidation, extracts the oxygen from
the wine, and produces maturity more speed
lily. NJ Odart de la Doree, the author of the
Manuel du Vigneron," and of the "Ampelo-
graphic Universalle, indicates a process old
or and still more rational. which is to heat the
bottles. The ancients, we know, were care
full to heat their amphoras. He advises us
simply to heat the bottles, taking the precau-
ton not to fill them quite full, tn prevent
their bursting. They are next to be placed
in an oven some hours after the bread has
been Withdrawn, and left there from twelve to
twenty hours. They are then taken out,
filled up. recorked, and the operation is COM
plete. The wine. it is said, will speedily at
tain maturity. This process appears to be
the SIMPLEST and best of all-Bulletin Of art.

Col. F. T. Tayloc stated the object Of
the meeting to be to consider the propr.-

views by offering the following resolution
Resolred, That this Convention deems it
inexredient, under present circumstances, to
nominate a candidate for the Counties Of
Stafford and King George, it being, in our
opinion, more expcdient to confne our pres
ent efforts to obtain the largest possible vote
for Messrs Goggin and Thomas.
Resotred, That those whom we represent
be urged to use every proper exertion to win
support to the patriotic effort of redeeming
Virginia from the grasp OF closet and trading
politicians, and guarding her honor as a
Southern State Of this glorious Coniederacy.
DR.. Fairfax sustained the resolutions and

The Slave, Daniel Webster.

The Philadelphia American says
1--WE understand that this much talked of
colored man is now on his way to Canada
Fearing that if he remained in Philadelphia
he would, at some future time, be again ar
rested, his friends have transported him be
yond the reach of claim in the future. A
fact has transpred in relation to Daniel which
if before made public, would have somewhat
lessened the sympathy felt for him. 1t is that
when he absconded or escaped from Virginia,
he left behind him wife to whom he was
married by minister of the Gospel. As he
was married to another female in Harrisburg
it follows that Daniel was guilty of bigamy.
Had he been remanded by the Commissioner,
Mr.. Brewster's intention was to have given,
towards purchasing his freedom, the fee re.
ceiyed from the claimants. and a hundred
dollars in addition. We understand that one
of the colored witnesses has since ackn WI
edged that he knew at the time he swore to
the contrary, that Daniel was an escaped
slave, and that the District Attorney is now
considering whether or not to cause his ar
rest on a charge of perjury"

Plants from China.

A few weeks ago, we announced that adj
vices had been received from Mr.. Robert
Fortune, by the Commissioner Of Patents, OF
the shipment Of several cases Of seeds and
plants from China, in December last, among
which were those of the tea shrub, camphor
tree, and of the yang-mae. We have again
the satisfaction to announce that the Patent
Office is in receipt of dispatches from Mr..
Fortune by the overland mall dated at
Shanghai, January -, in which he states he
had made a further shipment.
By late report Of the Commissioner of
Patents We are informed that, in order to
secure the safe propagation Of the tea plants,
preparatory to their removal To the sites where
the experiments are ultimately TO be made, a
portion of The public grounds in the city of
Washington has been set apart, thoroughly
underdrained with tiles, and a propagating
house erected thereon, for the termination Of

The confident assertions of the British, as
we'll as our own sensation journals that there
would be general war in Europe, appear to
have been entirely correct, except the omis-
sion of single word-there has been, and is,
a general war of words. The leaders in it
were the English journals and statesmen IN
the interest Of the dismissed Palmerston min
istry. and now that the great danger to Aus
tria has passed, the Austrians scold like fish
women. While the proposed Peace Congress

freely, and no small quantity ofspleen and

DESPERATE AssAuLT.-MAY STABBED
Yesterday morning, a man named Joseph
Barber. residing in Baltimore county, was
severely beaten and cut with a bowie-knife,
by a party of men on Fayette street, near
Calvert street. 1t seems that Barber had
been spectator Of the execution, and on
his leaving the scene, had entered the restau-
rant of Jesse klinefelter, on Fayette street,
where he used some violent language with
regard to the unfortunate men who had Just
expiated their crimes ON the gallowS. The
violence of his language Immediately crea-
ted sensation among the parties inside the
restaurant, and violent quarrel ensued.

noon, and taken before Justice Logan, on the
charge of assaulting John Blank, keeper of
restaurant, No. II West Baltimore street,
and irving to kill him with razor. From

The Tone Of tho Canvass.

We are pleased TO be able to announce
that the canvass between the Gubernatorial
candidates is conducted with the utmost cour-
tesy and good feeling, A gentleman from
one of the Southwestern counties writes
that they cut and thrust very good humored-
", and seem to enjoy each others company
in private. This ia what we expected, from
our knowledge Of the two gentlemen, and we
shall expect to hear Of their exchanging
scrap-books at their last meeting before the
fourth Thursday in May. The relations be-
tween Messr.. Letcher and Goggin ought TO
suggest to their friends every where the pro-
priety of keeping cool during the canvass
WHY should the friends Of the candidates
fight or quarrel with each other, when the
very best social relations exist between the
candidates themselves? The thing is abb
surd and ridiculoua-pvyinia lndar.
