districts the prospect is unco,n'no,>|y

acres are laid out to vineyards in the

year the yield was about three hund-
red aud fifty gallons to the. acre; a
very large product. 1t is certain that

The bulk of tho North Carolina
wine is the kind made from the native
Carolina grape, known as "Scupper-

grape is extensively converted into
wine Of a rich bright red color. Of
all the American grapes yet tried by
the large winemakers, the Delaware,
originating in Ohio, is the most highly

VALUABLE D1sCovERY.-Ach chemist
at Chicago has made the discovery
that "Prairic Stone" contains large
percentage of Saltpetre, and which,
when placed in retort and subjected
to the action Of heat, emits a valuable
fluid gas. The Chicago Democrat
gives the following account and prob.
able value Of this discovery
"a small bit of this stone, a piece
perhaps four inches square was taken
by Mr.. VIM. Cumberland, we'll
known chemist of this city, day or
two since, for the purpose Of endeav-
oring to extract oil from it. This ex-
|perlment 80 far as the end in view
was concerned, was failure---but in
the progress Of it, other startling de-
velopments were made. The stone
was broken up aud placed in retort
which was then subjected to the &C
|tion of heat. A vapor was seen to
issue from the neck Of the retort and
and on ma ch being applied it ig.
nited aud burned brilliantly for half
an hour. 1t gave a light fully equal to
the same volume ofcoal gas and emit
ted no odor Of any kind! The burn
ed stone was then analyzed and found
to contain fifty per cent of saltpeter,
which being removed the residue was
excellent lime! a- ~
Here indeed was discovery! A
stone was found existing in inexhausti
bic quantities and obtainable at very
little cost, which made gas as well
and freely as the best coal which
yielded fifty per cent of pure saltpeter;
and which was then as good lime as
could be had anywhere.
f" Additional experiments having
been performed, in the presence Of the
Superintendent of the Gas Works
and others, resulting in a confirmation
OF the discovery, arrangements having
been made to experiment upon the
the manufacture Of gas from prairie
stone. A retort and gasometer will be
prepared at the Gas Works, and a
large quantity of the stone submitted
Ito test which will leave no doubt Of
the practical benefits to be expected
from this discovery.

reached us that Stephen A. Douglas

and the nomination was afterwards
unanimously confirmed by the Con-
yention. Ex.Gov. johnson of Georgia
