ODD Fellowship the address of r. II.
Taylor, delivered at DUwnicville, at the late eel

which is full of truth
"The kindly Offices which are tho rcsult Of our
aCiliatiOn, and which are seen in the alienation
of sorrow and distress, do not stop even when the
warm heart ceases to beat and the bright eye is
closed in death. The diving Odd Fellow, as his
last look upon earth is fast merging into the spirit
gaze on Eternity, is assured that his brethren will
perform the last sad rites which the living can
minister to the dead, and that mournful hearts
will be gathered about his grave, and fearful eyes
attest the sincerity of their grief. He knows, too
that as each brother shall drop the sprg of ever
green upon his coffin, it will be a token that he
will not be forgotten. but that his memory will
be cherished. his errors unrrmembered, and his
virtues emulated, and that hope will look forward
beyond the confines of time, to the period when
we shall be again unted.'

GRAPE CULTURE IN CAIIFoRNGA.--1he cnltiva-
tion of the grape in California bids fair, in the
short space of twenty years, to transcend n i'm
portance the working of our gold mines. This
statement will excite surprise with thousands,
and will probably be discrcdited by many; hut it
is easily susceptible Of proof The State Regis
ter, for 1859, a most valuable work, and ono
which should be in the possession of every Cali
fornian, as well as widely disseminated through
ont the Eastern States, informs Us that the in
crease of our vines from 1856 to 1857. was fifty
per cent, and seventy-four per cent. from 1857
to 1853 and about fifty per cent. since then on
the whole stock, beiug a greater increase than
compound interest would yield. 1t is estimated
that the present stock of vines, when matured,
| exclusive of the proceeds derived from the sale
of the grape and the manufacture of brandy,
will reach ten million of dollars. In twenty
years, at the rate of progress above Indicated,
the wine product Of California will be worth fifty
million Of dollars.-Sdn Francisco Herad.

Mr. Myers, who has just arrived, gives the par
ticulars of the most heart-rendng calamity we
have ever been biged to record
The residence of Col. f. A. Stevenson, three
miles from this place, on the opposite side of the
river, was burned last night, consuming his wife
and three children, and Mrs. Kronk and two
children. Mr.. Kronk, Col. Stevenson's overseer,
was in the house, but by some means managed to
escape, though so badly burned that recovery is
doubtful Col Stevenson, formerly Indian Agent
at Nome Lake., was absent at Tehama. Mr.
Kronk is in such agony that it is impossible to
gain any information from him in regard to his
escape. Two brothers of Mrs. Stevenson were
sleeping in granary. some distance from the
house, which was also burned, but from which
they made their escape, not, however, until the
house was entirely consumed.
1t is believed to be the work of Indians. An
Indian boy who was sleeping in the house. is mis-
sing; whether he made his escape or not is I'M
known. 1t is feared that if Indians were the
perpetrators, that other settlers in the vicinity
may have shared the same fate. Mr.. Myers lives
on this side of the river opposite Col Stevenson's
where he has removed Mr.. Kronk He thinks the
family may have been murdered by Indians, who
afterwards set fire to the house.

PRACTICAL EMANCIPATION.

Considerable attention was yesterday at
tracted on Market Square, by six wagon loads
OF negroes passing through on their way to the
depot. They were the property of Mr.. S. Dick
ms, of New Orleans, who has been soiourninp.
purchasing negroes in our city, for the last five
or six months, and numbered in all about eighty.
Mr.. Dickins informed us that he purchased
them in this and Andrew, an adjoining county.
They were of all ages and sizes, from forty-6ve
down TO the infant at the mothers breast.
They left on the train for Hannibal, and
thence will go down the Mississippi river on a
steamboat to New Orleans."-Jom7aal.
There is moral in the above We greatly
fear that unless something is done to discour-
age the evident disposition to seek "South-
ern home," which prevails among our colored
population, the Emancipation party of Missouri
will be forced to disband before it really has an
effective organization, for the reason that the
state of affairs which made It's existence neces.
sary has ceased to be. We are really alarmed.
We fear that the negro-dealers will take with
them to the South our entire political capital,
and leave us minus our stock in trade How
we shall get along without any thunder is yet
to be ascertained.
In the mean time, something must be done.
Ii we can do no better, let us appeal to the Leg
isiature. Our opinion is that it would be a
good plan to have an act passed modifying the
climate OF Missouri by several degrees, and en-
abling us to grow cotton, sugar, and such like
tropical productions. We very much fear that
unless some change of this kind is effected. the
negroes of our State will persist in seeking q
more genial cline. The planters of Louisiana
and Aississippi ciu pay larger price Jor
them than zoe can afford to keep them at.
We would suggest also, in this connection
that it would be well to abolish the States O
Kansas, Iowa, and Illinois, and all other FIRE,
States which send their merchants to trad,
with us, or their laborers to till our soil. Mer
who come from these States are apt to be enter
prising and industrious citizens, but to enter

Mr. Buchanan's New York organ, the Her
aid, presents its readers with the following da-
guerreotype of the rival factions of the New

attention of the brethren:
"Under the vile system of misrule, terrorism,
and brutality, which characterizes both the fac
ton at Tammany and that at Mozart Hail. cit
liens Of unstained and irreproachable reputa-
ton have shrunk back from such association
as the very worst concentration of depravity
and wickedness in the country. A grave and
serious analysis of the lists of the General
Committee who have hitherto held il their
hands the strings of Conventions, and wko have
been virtually invested with the choice of our
EuAShct dhu Win FOnCh VI presenting tuCm-
selves as the representatives Of the State and
city at National Conventions, would perfectly
startle the unsophisticated among our readers
by its terrible developments. 1t is the exact
and literal truth, that graduates from Black
wells Island and from Sing Sing, pot-house
proprietors of the lowest and most degraded
description, keepers and owners of the flthiest
dens of disease and prostitution, shoulder hit,
tiers and strikers, the history of whose exploits
is to be found in police chronicles of gougings,
maimings, and other execrable brutalities !;
open thieves, pocket book snatchers, and bur
glars, are numbered among those who are con-
spicuous at every period of nominations and
elections, and who have been heretofore relied
on to sway at will the popular current. And
when scoundrels like these present themselves
as delegates, or in support of delegates at State
and city Conventions, they blend together with
intriguing rogues from Albany and the interior,
and after having done their utmost to plumber
the city, and plunge it into anarchy, league
themselves with such men as Cassidy, Cagger,
and their associates, to impose the corrupt rule
of the Regency upon the State"
