From the south Pacific.

The advices from the South Pacific are
important in some respects. President
Castillo, of Peru, had absolutely and de-
family refused to listen to the claims made
by the United States Minister in the cases
of the ships Georgianna and Lizzie
Thompson. 1t is alleged that the tone
of his denial was actually hostile, he hav.
ing, as said, received reports from the
Peruvian Minister in Washington to the
effect that Mr.. Buchanan was so unpopu.
lar his demands would not be sustained
by Congress. 1t is an odd coincidence
that this news should reach us just as the
convention between the two governments
on the subject was officially published in
the Washington papers. Castillo had
caused Senior Franco, a mulatto, to be
elected President of Ecuador. Chile was
quiet, and making great progress in rail.
roads and telegraphs.

We learn from New Grenada that the

Charlottesville. Heidsick, with whose
name every one who drinks champagne is
familiar. has lately arrived in New York,
prepared for a grand hunt on our prairies
the approaching summer. He publishes a
letter in the Times, showing that not only is
spurious article bearing his brand widely
sold in the United States, but vast quanti-
ty besides, purporting to be champagne
We gather from Mr.. Heidsiek's letter, the
following relating to the manufacture OF
champagne, and Of its consumption in this
country:
"The consumption of champagne in this
country is said to be 100000 baskets per
annum. The custom house of New York,
through which passes two thirds of the cham
payne imported into this country, only re-
ports It's, 02S baskets per annum. How en-
ormous the amount of counterfeit wine must
be, can be apparent to every one. The to-
tai champagne district comprises 10000
acres. The number of bottles manufactured
for expectation per year is 100000, or
about 100000 baskets. Of this amount Rus.
sia consumes 100000; Great Britain and her
possessions, 10000; America, 22O 900; Ger.
many, 100000; France, $4,000. The rest
is Consumed in Spain, South America, Nor

Troubles of Missionaries in Chin;

Intelligence received in Washington
on Tuesday from China, brought BY last
mail from Europe, states that the Ameri-
can missionaries there find their opera
tons INSTRUCTED by the hostile movements
which have recently occurred there, and
by the denominations of the coolie trade,
which have prejudiced their minds a.
gainst all foreigners. Besides this, there
are two parties in China, one opposed to
foreigners and in favor of hostilities, and
a peace party. The Emperor belongs to
the peace party, while the commander
of the affair at Peiho is the leader of the
party.

bat he slightly misrepresented the important
parsonage that exercises a controlling infu.

We will not lie-we will let the heavens fall

spect us the more. There is no Pnaraseeism

We had no Hocal on Monday land but little
yesterday, and there was reason for it.
We had been told that Catawba wine was
perfectly pure and harmless beverage, and
at the solicitation of few friends INDUCED
in a bottle or two of the same. The result
was that We stood upon our head instead of
our heels. We distinctly recollect our send
ing challenge to one of our friends, who
took the thing in earnest and left town; we
hope the perusal of this article will induce
him to return. We are all right now, and
don't feel in fighting humor.
The readers of the Press can rest assured
that we will behave ourself in future. The

Remarkable Pheaomenon.- Among the ac-
compartments of the shock of the earthquake
at Charleston, 8. Carolina, ION last Thursday,
the News of that city notes the following
as not the least surprising Of the subterra-
mean phenomena by which it may have been
attended:
The tubing of the Artesian we'll has been
prosecuted until the depth had been reached
of $40 feet on the 3lst of March last. when
it was arrested by an obstruction which it
was impossible to penetrate or to remove by
pressure, the boring having previously
reached $50 feet. This weights placed on the
tubing amounted to several hundred tons
without any perceptible effect, when on
Thursday afternoon it began to settle, and it
entirely disappeared, go that the materials
employed in the operation, rested on the
ground; on removing the rubbish it was
found that the tubing had descended thirty
feet. What connection, if any, there is be-
tween this fact and the shock OF earthquake?
Science may OF may not solve it.
