Taking it as starting point, that our ma
tive Catawba, grown in our own country, is
the most natural strengthening, and exhil-
irating beverage, as well as it is of great
Importance as a medicine, we heartily re-
joice at the promising progress made by our
d" German Winegrowers' Association" This
Association held its quarterly meeting at
Mechanicsville, on Monday last. Besides
the main tendency of the meeting, to ex-
change ideas and observations in regard to
the culture of the grape, the wine of last
year was examined, each member having
brought along sample Of his own raising
for the purpose of having its quality tested
by acommittee,appointed to that end, consist
ing of Messrs. Koehler, KOrb, and Becker
who examined the different wines impair
TALLY; but the task being rather a difficult
one those gentleman could not come to
any agreement as to who had the best wine.
1t was unanimously agreed that the vintage
of 1859 excelled that of 1857. and 1858 in
point Of quality. To classify, however, the
different samples exhibited to the commit
tee, was a hard task-they being of various
colors, aroma, and boquet. Whilst the
iight-colored wine, grown from grapes
which are pressed as soon as plucked, at
tracts by its mildness and tenderness, the
process Of impregnating the berry with the
flavor of the stem renders the wine more
palatabe.
The examining committee having made
known the result of their investigation, all
the samples were tasted by all the members,
who arrived at the conclusion that all the
wine exhibited there was of fine quality
1t is to be deeply regretted that several
who cultivate the grape, and are men of
experience and knowledge in this branch,
are not yet members of this society, where,
by mutual exchange Of views, they can be
of benefit to others, well as reap benefit
themselves, the expense of membership be-
ing very trihing. A good spirit was mani
tested, however, by those who were not deter
red by bad roads and the lnclemency of the
weather, from attending a meeting produc-
tive of so much information and benefit,
thereby proving conclusively that no work.
ing man loses a day when he seeks inform
alton, especially in a branch where he seeks
his main support.
Before the adjournment of the meeting
an account was kept of the amount of
ground cultivated in grapes, of the number
of grape vines and the productiveness
thereof which resulted in the fact that
1865 gallons being made this year from
63, $50 grape vines, covering in the aggre-
gate an area of thirty acres and three
quarters of ground. ...

seorT AND HAsSEY.-Tha San FRANCISCO

SeorT AND HARSET.-The San Francisco
Times correspondent, writing from San
Juan Island, on Oct. Goth, says
D 1.-The sudden and unexpected arrival of
Lieut.. General Scott in this part of the
world, completely took by surprise the be-
fore arrogant and 0verbearing Gen. Harvey.
He hardly knew what to make of this sud-
den appearance; but having had a night to
reflect upon it, he very likely came TO the
conclusion that the President was not very
we'll pleased with all he had done. | am
told that Gen, Scott gave him to understand
that if he wanted command in some other
place the President would be very happy
to relieve him of his responsibilities here
He has shown that he is very much dis
turbed by the coming of Gen. Scott, for he
has been known to break out in the Harvey
vernacular in manner quite appalling
Our armies in Flanders never heard such
swearing. Gen. SCOTS attention was early
called to the case of Lieut.. De Hart, whom
Gen. Harvey had caused to be put under
arrest for alleged characterization. The par
ticulars of the affair l gave you in my last
letter, and they showed the Lieutenant to
be wholly in the right, and the General en-
tirely in the wrong. l am informed that
when Gen. Scott was advised of the facts,
he expressed a wish that De Hart should be
released, but Harvey not readily acceding to
it, he received peremptory order to re-
lease him. This must have been sore Rg-
gravation to the inflated Harvey, for his
conduct in the case of De Hart had made
him very unpopular with the officers, and
my impression is that he left as he did to
prevent their seeing his discontinue.

Among our regular telegraphic dispatches
may be found the proceedings of meeting
of the National Democratic Executive Com
mittee at Washington City.
The Committee was very full, only three
or four States being unrepresented. After
comparison of views, the 23d day of April
1860 was fixed upon for the assembling of
the Charleston Convention. A committee
was appointed TO prepare for the circulation
of documents during the coming campaign.
Mr.. Vallandinghan, of Ohio, was appointed
Chairman of the Committee. Doubtless his
zeal and success in trying to pump some
political capital out of old Brown has mer-
tied the important post to which he is just
assigned.
A committee was also appointed to secure
a suitable hall for the Convention, to which
the delegates will gain admission through
the fundamentally of tickets. These tick
cts are to be issued in accordance with the
directions of the Democratic organizations
in the several States. The regular Demo-
cratic organization of our State, we believe,
is in the hands of the State Central Com
mittee and the Committee, in great meas
ure, belongs to John L. Robinson.
To that distinguished individual, will
doubtless be awarded the pleasing duty of
ticketing whom he chooses. both to the
State and National Conventions. Verify,
he is a man in authority. He says unto
one, $50, and he goeth; and to another,
come, and he cometh; and to his servant,
do this, and he doeth it." Our farmers
throughout the State-what few partici-
pated in the primary onventions-imag
ined they had selected instruments to carry
out their wishes in the selection of candi-
dates They little understand this vast cir
Gus arrangement of admission by tickets,
which will be awarded to the favorites of
the men who may happen to be at the head
of the various State organizations.
But the Executive Committee went fur
Their than this. They intend to put stop
to the telegraphic misrepresentation of the
Democratic party. How this is to be &c
complained they do not inform US. We pre-
sumo it can only be brought about by COM
pelIing the Associated Press to appoint none
but reliable Democrats as their news agents.
We respectfully suggest that the present
agent at Baltimore be appointed chief of the
new corps of news collectors, when the
Executive Committee succeed in inaugural
ing it. We are sure the Committee will see
the propriety of our suggestion, when they
remember the past efforts of that individual
in behalf Of the Democratic party.

Through the kindness of a German friend,
we are enabled to furnish our readers this
morning with translation of the proceed
ings of meeting of the Vine Growers As
ISOLATION, which were published in the
Volksbote day or two ago.
The cultivation of the grape and its con-
version into wine, is justly exciting consid
cradle attention along the valley of the
Ohio, and also in southwestern Missouri,
where great advancement has already been
made. When the prolihncess Of the grape
are borne in mind, and the profit accrning
from the cultivation of small spot of ground,
it is matter of establishment that so few
have embarked in the enterprise. Were
several hundred acres of ground under cul-
tivation as vineyards, in Nandcrbnrgh
county, the revenues that would be brought
into it from the sale of the wine, would as
tonish every one. 1t seems from the pro-
ceedings, that thirty and three-fourth acres
of ground were reported at the meeting, as
being under cultivation. The yield of this
ground was u, 500 gallons of Catawba.-
The price per gallon Is about two dollars,
showing as the revenue of the thirty acres,
the enormous sum of S24, 100. 1t is true,
it takes time and money to put vineyard
into successful operation, but when once it
begins to yield, the profit is wonderful
In good season, one acre of vines ought
to yield from 1000 to 1900 GALLONS of wine.
The exnense of cultivation we are informed
is about $500; leaving, as Il net profit, from
$500 to 5000. Where is the acre OF corn or
wheat that will make anything like such
return for the time and money employed in
its cultivation
The friends of the grape have numerous
enemies to contend with, the most promi-
nent of which is the rot, yet they are not
without hopes they viii in time route this

FFUW Uie N. ! tHIt
The North and the South.

We have several letters from Virginia,
representing the feeling of the people of
that State as intensely excited, hostile to the
North, and unanimous for immediate disun-
ion. We do not credit these representations
and even if they were true, the evil could
not he cured by spreading them before the
public. Ii the people of Virginia actually
regard the people Of the free States as
band of marauders-reckless of their rights,
hostile to their peace, and bent upon their
ruin-we pity their delusion, and deprecate
the evils in which it may involve them
But time alont can cure it. 1t is useless TO
reason with it, for they are not in mood to
listen to reason, nor will the political lead
ers, who are using this state OF things for
their own advantage permit them to even
read the facts and statements that may be
made on that side of the question. The
Richmond Enquirer, Wing, ard Examiner,
which furnish the principal reading matter
for the whole State, are careful to copy eve
ry abolition speech which the malign indus
try of the Herald may hunt up for their use,
and whatever else may feed the decisions on
which they rest their selfish hopes. But
nothing from a conservative quarter is per-
mitted to reach them.
Nothing finds admission to their columns
calculated to disprove their assertion that
the whole North backs up John Brown and
is ready to wage open war upon slavery in
the Southern States. We reported some
twenty sermons in the Times OF Friday last,
of which only two indicated the slightest
sympathy with Abolitionism or its schemes;
we venture to predict that not one of these
representative utterances of the true conser-
vatism OF the North will be copied by any
Richmond journal, and that Mr.. Cheever's
diatribe, preached to a congregation which
looks TO British aims for its support, will be
given at full length, rs an index of the pre-
vailing tone and sentiment of the city of
New York. Against deliberate and inten-
tional injustice of this sort, as well as
against the mischief it may work, it were
vain to reason or protest.
If the Virginians persist in their miscon-
ception of the state of Northern feeling,
and act upon it, they may do themselves
and us serious harm. If they will wait a
little while, they may see reason to distrust
the good faith of their counsellors and the
truth of their representations. Meantime,
the North can do little to influence the re-
suit. The public authorities, we hope, will
exercise all due influence 10 prevent, so far
as possible, any further infraction of the
rights of the South and will aid in punish
ing whatever crimes may already have been
committed. For the rest we must wait
upon time and the good sense and patriot
ism OF the great body OF the American peo-
pie.

HsS~The Board of Managers of the South
ern Canal Co., held meeting at their office
yesterday, to consult about their manage
ment during the winter. An order was
passed to draw the water from the Canal be-
tween Port Gibson and Newbury, from the
1st of January, if the navigation should
then be INSTRUCTED by ice, and remain off
until the first of March next, as it was fear
ed that the weight of ice that would accu-
mulate on the aquaducts across White river
and Patoka, would endanger them, and that
the banks would be better preserved by
draining the water off the canal.
The working force will be Immediately
reduced to two repair boats, and when the
water is drawn from the canal the entire
force will be discharged, except a few watch
men, SO that the expenses will be reduced
to a mere nominal sum.
The financial condition of the company is
not very good, but the revenues of the last
30 days has much more than paid the ex-
penses, and things are looking brighter.
Papers along the canal will please give
notice.-EngLirer of Wednesday,.
