dungeon, where be will be very apt TO
remain. Information was lodged with
deputy sheriff Bean relative 10 his where
abouts in Canada, and he forthwith pro-
ceeeded to search for him. He vas ar
rested in Canada by the officers there
upon the charge of stealing Wilson's hat
and coat at Dodge's in Sutton, c. E.
He was then handed over TO Mr.. Bean,
ostensibly for the purpose Of having him
conveyed to Freyleysburgh for trial, but
really for the purpose of running him
over to this side of the line, and thus
getting him to jail again. When arrest
ed by Mr.. Bean he, fought like mad.

and he was obliged TO succumb.

WASHINGTON, June 9.

NAsHIAGToA, June y.
About dark last evening person ap-
peared in Mr.. Summers room, who rep
resented himself as one of four persons
who had come from Virginia to demand
satisfaction for insults contained in his
great speech.
The Virginian made the most violent
and bloody threats to Mr. Sumner, and
only left the room after repeated orders.
Mr.. Summers friends rallied around
him Immediately. Mr.. Burlingame and
another gentleman slept in his room last
night, and this morning Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. Burlingame rode up to the Capitol
with him.
1t is not true that an assault has been
made. Mr.. Summers friends will not
lose sight of him, and the Kansas men
say they viii protect him with their lives.
PERLEY.
TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
WASHINGTON, June 3. Many rumors
of an extraordinary character prevail
with regard to Mr.. Sumner. 1t appears
that early last evening an individual from
Virginia called at Mr.. Summers room,
and imperiously demanded an explana-
ton of certain parts of his recent speech.
Dir. Sumner gave him no satisfaction,
and ordered him to depart, which he did
with threats. At subsequent hour
three other persons called, and stopping
in the passageway, sent up word to Mr.
Sumner that they wished to see him alone.
They refused an invitation to the room
where Mr.. Sumner was, surrounded by
his friends, and left, sending a threaten
ing message by the servant that they
would come with force to assault him at
10 o'clock this morning, at which time
Mr.. Summers friends were again pres
ent.
In view of these occurrences, some Of
them accompanied him from his residence
to the Senate to-day, being apprehensive
of personal violence. They are determin-
ed to exercise watchfulness and caution.
The attention of the Chief Of Police has
been called to the subject.

v1NE-GRowING AND WINE.

A Vine growers Convention was held at Aiken,
on the 2lst August, which the Vine. growers and
wine makers of the United States were invited to
attend, for the purpose of ascertaining and ma
ming our different native varieties of grapes,
estimating their adapteduess for wine. brandy,
the table and raisins their liability to rot, shed
off and mildew the influence of climate and
soil over the saccharine and alcoholic properties
Of the grapes; and other purposes. This is not
the first Convention of the kind that has been
held in our country. 1t is thought that these
conventions, by promoting the growth of grapes
and the use of wines in our country, will not
only conduce to build up an honorable source
of wealth, but also to diminish crime and pro.
mote morality among our people. How this
paradox can be established is, we confess, be-
yond our comprehension. We know the old
thread-bare argument, which has been worn Out
in defence of this notion. 1t is said, with an all
of triumph, that vine growing and wine produc
ing peoples are never Incorporate; and argued
from this that if wine were made the substitute
of brandy, whiskey and other strong drinks, il
would be a great blessing to our country.
We have not perceived the truth of either Of
these statements. We admit that where wine is
a staple product, Gelirium tremens and beastly,
periodical or occasional drunkenness, have not
prevailed 80 extensively as in the United States.
Yet this admission is made on the known fact

RESURRECTION IN ALABAMA.

Much excitement, we learn, exists in Tallsde-
ga, Ala, on account of the discovery of a plot Of
several abolitiouists to create o servile insurrec-
ton. Four white men and eight negroes have
been discovered armed, in the neighborhood Of
the town and everything goes to corroborate
the statements of the negroes Of the community
relative to the wicked plot. Such reports 'as
this are brought to our ears, by almost every
days mail. We do not wish to sound any IN.

lief that these vile agitators and anarchists are

subscriber at Indiantown, Williamsburg District
During the present year "The Enquirer" ha
been coming very irregular to its subscribers a.
Indiantown-so much so, indeed, that some hav'
already and, others are speaking Of discontin
uiug their subscriptions. 1t would be to you
interest to let them know the cause of this ir
regularity; it may be the fault of the mail.
Similar complaints were made to US recently
while on our visit home, by the subscribers al
Milton, in Laurens District.
We blame Uncle Sam for this remissness.-
The papers for these Offices are bundled up AND
sent off on Thursday morning with those that &c
to Columbia and elsewhere. Not a single com
plant has reached US from Columbia this entire
year. The fault, therefore, must lie somewhere
between Columbia and these places.
There has been some complaint among GU,
Charleston subscribers. But We are satisfied
that we can trace this to a source outside of thu
Enquirer Office.
We cannot h~elpdhis remissness of the mails
If we could we would. We are anxious that al
our subscribers should receive their papers reg
ularly. We are glad to be informed of any fail
ures of the Enquirer to arrive at its proper des'
~tinatiou; and will always do what we can to
ferret out and remove the cause.

that wine is made in these countries rather to
export than to drink. Wherever and whenever
wine is excessively taken, it produces into1ica
ton. Indeed we have heard drinkers say that
the intoxication produced by wine, is worse thar
that caused by whiskey or brandy. It is not 30
violent but more lasting. Now this indicates,
we think, its specific effect upon national char
acter. 1t does not make the people fall and
stagger so much as it leaves them, when taken
habitually, in a permanent state of sreitement.-
This excitement occasionally finds its culmina-
ton in excess-in drunkenness, debauchery, an
archy, crime and Bachanalian revelry. The
friends of the w~ine-cup cite US to France; but
has not France been q series of revolutions du-
ring the nineteenth century ? Bacchus has Of
ten stained his feet in the grape-presses OF
France, Italy and Greece and Mars has IS Of
ten washed his arms and legs in the blood OF
their citizens.
Let US be understood. We much prefer to see
native than foreign wines on our tables. They
ore purer they are better; though not less in
to1icating, perhaps, they are less Injurious
They are not a mixture Of poisons. We would
be heartily glad, too, to see native wines Of
q mild and pure brand supercede, as o national
drink, the use of old Jamaica, Bourbon, Monon-
gahela and corn whiskey. But we are no apol.
ogist for wine-drinking; and we would be glad to
49, H. .lo--a eni, Lano,oo 1pa fool fhof II
would be beneficial to temperance.
And would, we ask, the general use of wine
eradicate the use of these stronger drinks? We
think not. Its pleasanter taste and milder and
more genial effect would only make it a stronger
temptation. 1t would become the arch-seducer
of the young. Half the drunkards say they do
not love the taste of brandy or whiskey; AND
that they only take it to appease the cravings
of q ruthless habit, or like medicine, for the ef-
feet. All would love wine and hence it would
tempt all. The habit of drinking once begun
in this way, would grow stronger and stronger.
First a larger and larger quantity of wine would
be drunken; then wine would be abandoned for
the more "fery compounds Of the day. The
greater the variety of liquors made, the better
every taste is suited, and the more universal are
the inducements to intemperance. Besides, the
introduction of wine-drinking would become
popular, and remove many if not all the obstacle
which enlightened public opinion and Christian
virtue now place between the flowing bowl and
the youth of our country. Let US see to it, while
we manufacture wine for medicinal purposes
and the like, that We constantly teach its abuse
as a beverage, to be the road to ruin and shame.
