Late Eastern Intelligence.

The publication Of JEFF. Davis proclamation
of piracy caused some fears in New York that
the California steamer Champion would fall a
prey to some Southern freebooter, and the Con-
federacy thus receive supply Of specie. The
steamer arrived in safety, however, on the even
ing ofApril 2lst, with $3.50, 900 in treasure. The
treasure shipments whcih left San Francisco
on the llth and 22d of April had not arrived in
New York at last advices and are IN danger Of
being seized.
Col. ]. L. d. Morrison, of Bellevile, Illinois,
who lately married st. Louis belle and started
for Europe, reached Chicago just in time for
the Sumter excitement. He expressed sympa-
thy for the South, and was knocked down for
his pains by some infuriated patriot. Marshal
Rynders was assaulted and knocked down in
New York, about the same time, for similar
expression Of sympathy.
1t is stated that Government has directed
light draft for three months, and to arm them
with nine inch guns and fit them ready for sea.
Smonton, of the Bulletin, while writing a
dispatch in the telegraph office at Washington,
April 2lst, was attacked by young Butler, son
of Col Butler of San Francisco. The stick
which Butler used was broken at the first blow,
and Simonton instantaneously cut and ran
across the avenue hastily, pursued by Butler.
Simonton ran so fast that the crowd, which
any thing will collect now, separated the parties.
Lieut.. Jennifer, who first gave information to
the Virginians of the condition of matters at
Carlisle Barracks, next resigned his commits
sion and finally ran away, has been arrested at
Hanover, Pa, and will be tried as a traitor.
Advices from New Orleans state that the az
tempt to negotiate the Confederate loan was a
signal failure. Only $l6O,OOO were taken there
altogether. Montgomery advices state that
$l2, 900 have been taken in all. The sol
diers were unpaid. They had plenty of provis-
ions, but were short of munitions of war.

state Convention.

We are enabled to lay before our readers,
to-day, the resolutions adopted by the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee. AS was
stated in the dispatch published in our last,
the Convention is called for the 4th of July,
and all persons, without respect to former
political predictions, who are in favor of
the American Union, above all things, are
invited to participate in the election Of del
egates. The Committee wisely determined
that partizan platforms and organizations
should be sunk in the present momentous
crisis, and we do not doubt that all Union
men of the State will respond to the CALL
The apportionment of delegates is made
on the whole number Of votes cast in the
several counties at the last election. The
Convention will contain GAS delegates, OF
which Nevada county will be entitled to
S6. We shall publish the apportionment in
our next.

TEa.EoRAPHIo CORRESPONDENCE. fol-
lowing correspondence is said to have
passed between Gov. Hicks, of Maryland,
and Gov. Sprague, of Rhode Island, on the
2stb of April:
Hicks to Sprague-''I understand you are
Sbout to proceed to Washington with the Rhode
island regiment. advise you not to take them
through Baltimore, and thus avoid trouble"
Sprague to Hcks-"The Rhode Island regi-
rhent are going to fight, and it matters not
whether they fight in Baltimore or Washing
toni"

BROwNLow STICKS TO THE UNIoN.--We
have bad as yet no definite intelligence as
to the effect the attack on Sumter bad in
Tennessee. 1t appears, however, that Sen
ator Johnson, Emerson Elberidge, Parson
Browulow and other leading men still stand
by the stars and stripes. The Knoxville
Whig- BrownlOw's paper-of April l7th.
referring to Liucoln's proclamation, says:
We have looked the matter full in the face,
and we are still on the side of the Government.
We shall take sides with the Stars and Stripes,
and in the face of all the bullying and buster
ing of disunionists, we endorse the action Of
our Government. Insult after insult has been
offered without resentment on the part of our
Government; and worse than all, deliberate
purpose to march upon the Capitol at Wash
ington, by the rebels Of the Southern Confede-
racy has come to light, and it is the duty of the
Government to defend it until the Potomac
runs with blood to its mouth This army called
for is ready to defend the Capital, in part at
least. Troops, horses, boats, provisions, mu-
nitions of war, fast-sailing steamers, filed with
provisions, and war steamers to back them up
and land supplies at the forts occupied by
American officers and soldiers, go out to sea
daily, with sealed instructions; and so rapidly
are they accumulating in the Southern waters
that the mental vision of insulting fre-eaters
and bullying traitors is dazzled in the effort to
follow them. We are glad to see it, as much
as we deprecate the shedding of blood 1t de-
monstrates that we have Government, and
we say let that fact stand out before the world
in bold relief, if it requires seven years war
TO demonstrate il! All this ought to have oc-
CURED under Buchanan months ago, and it
ought to have occurred under Lincoln weeks
ago; but better late than never.

Grating the Grape.

In the month of April / grated twen-
ty-four Delaware scions into roots Of tn
common wild Fox grape of Nebraska.
l used pieces Of roots about eight inches
long, and the scion with two buds only.
These 1 set in the ground close up to the
top bud on the scion, and packed the dirt
down closely about them. Of these 81
have made growth of over two feet. 1
used mp wax, clay or tieing, leaving the
junction entirely open to the contact of the
earth.
The same day, gave twelve Diauas
the same stocks and trealment-while
but seven grew out of the dozen. Twelve
Rebecca's treated precisely the same way
and growing IN same ground, are all alive
and growing finely.
The next day l grated four DOZEN
twelve Concord, twelve Delaware, twelve
Diana and twelve Anna on roots of the
Clinton Grape. But four are growing of
the Concord; nine of the Delaware; two
of Diana; and-four of Anna.
Waiting until the buds of the wild Fox
were fairly started, grated four dozen:
twelve Louisa; twelve Herbamont; twelve
Hartford Prolific and twelve Union Vii
Iage, and every graft is alive and making
wood rapidly. These had the same treat
ment as the first and all the rest; the on
ly difference being in time Of grating.
am satisfied that the Fox will make a
very good stock for the native varieties
but the blue frost grape is much BETTER
and throws up larger growth Of wood
have but a half dozen, on this stock and
they are now six feet high. Another
season they will fiber freely.
The past spring I set ont in rows in
open ground two thousand cuttings Of the
Catawba, Clinton and Isabella. Nine
tenths Of the whole lot are now growing.
Set out two hundred Concord, two hun
dred Diana and fifty Canadian Chief. nor
one half of these are growing. The

How to Hold a HaFd-headed Horse:

wish, through the medium Of your
common-sense paper, to describe a simple
method of holding a fiery, hard bitted, or
runaway horse. Put the buckle or snap
of the rein through the bit ring, and
fasten it to some part Of the bride be-
tween the ears and mouth of the horse.
The advantage Of this easily and quickly
made arrangement is two-fold lst, It
draws the bit directly into the corners Of,
The mouth, whatever be the position of
the horses head; 2nd. the force exerted
on the bit in this manner by the same
power at the end of the rein, though not
quite doubled, is very much greater than
when the rem is attached simply to the
bit. BY this means, / have seen the most
fretful and ungovernable animal immedi-
ately converted into a serviceable plow-
horse, while my eased limbs and shOul-
ders gave direct testimony in favor Of the
diminished labor Of managing the term.
The arrangement is also convenient IN
driving an Unmatched team, one horse
being a fast, and the other a moderate
travelar. Arrange the reins as directed,
for the fast horse, leaving the others IN
the com way. n. ?. BLAKEsLEE.

more quarters. We have practiced dali
ly milking for a few days previous to
calving in such cases, with good results.
The effect upon the calf of the pro-
tracted milking Of the COW kept on no
more than good ordinary food, is well
known. A slender weakling, he is said
to be "knocked in the head with the milk
pail" Under ordinary circumstances,
the COW should go dry at least morths
if we desire a wall developed, perfect

milk is concerned, we would milk Just as
