commendation OF it. The vines of all ages
were perfect picture of health. A large
number that had been two years planted, were
bearing their first crop of fruit-the clusters
large, the berries perfect ard thoroughly II
Pened, and the favor, in my estimation, if not
as good as that Of q few other varieties. at
least superior to Isabella. These vines avera-
ged one dollar each from the sale of fruit,
which readily commanded from twenty TO
twenty-five cents per pound in the Rittsburg
market, while Isabellas and CataWbas {unripe
of course) were drug at six to eight cents
The great point of attraction, however, was .
row of eleven vines. four years planted, eecu-
pyiBg a trellis about one hundred and thirty
feet long, and seven feet high, which from bot
tom to top, aud from one end TO the other,
was covered with such magnificent clusters as
had never before seen. The bunches were
large and compact, generally heavily shoulder
ed, the berries very large and perfect in every
respect, reminding one of well-grown Black
Hamburgs, though from their Jet black color,
and covering of rich bloom, they eciipsed that
celebrated variety in beauty Of appearance
This, too, was simply the result of good cul-
ture and proper training and pruning The
estimate of Mr.. Knox, that an acre Of such
vines, fruitiug as those were, would yield a
profit of one thousand dollars in a single sea-
son, was not an extravagant one; for fancy
be would find but little trouble in realizing
one hundred dollars in any market for the pro-
duct of those eleven vines.
or the Hartford Prolific he has but few
vines, and when l was at his place Sept 25th,)
the fruit had all been picked and marketed,
bringing, in consequence of its earlineSs and
attractive appearance, twenty-five cents per
pound. Though no. claimed to be fruit Of
superios favor, the vine is hardy and produc
tive, and being earlier than any other yet tested
by Mr.. K, he thinks highly of it as market
fruit, and designs planting it largely.
The great advantage possessed by the three
varieties above named, consists especially in
their earlinoss, to say nothing of other quail
ties, as they all ripen their fruit before there
is any danger Of frost, which the Isabella, Ca
taWba, and most other varieties fail to do in
open exposed culture at Pittsburg and most
other localities as far North.
Another fruit that Mr.. Knox is devoting
especial attention to, is the Improred american
Black Cap Raspberry. OF this he has now
very large plantations, and is preparing to
greatly enlarge them, finding it one of the
most profitable of his small fruits. 1t is both
hardy and prolific, the fruit attractive in aP-
peara nee and of good quality.

SORGHUM IN CLARK CoUNTY.-This article
when first introduced into this county, was con-
sfdererl failure 50 far as desirable article for
sweetning was concerned. But manufacturers
have every year so improved the article that
it now ranks with any article manufactured in
the South. Mr.. A. Myers has this year man
ufactured about 200 barrels of what he calls
L" Golden Syrup" which not only equals, but
we think surpasses any syrup from the South
we have ever tasted He has it for sale at

We are glad to know that the manufacture
of this article is success and that it can be

WOMEN VS. MEN.

II women are less happy than men. it is be-
: cause they are less sel6sh--it Is because Of
their Charity, their sympathy, their sensibility;
things which, in men, produce but u casual
sremark or glance, in women produce an earth
alakesof nerves. Men phQOsophise where wo-
men feel; and, all sympathy being iHsiantane.
Gus, they become theneeesSary victims of their
own natures, though withal, woman's sorrow
lis more divine than mans stoicism. Hence it
Is that'the best Christians, are women; for re-
ligion is Essentially warm an living attribute

sympathy is half self womans all charity;
mans snfierings are half aIeviated through d
divine recognition. Mans cankers consume

A Sensible View OF tho Southern Rebel
fkon.


Some indeed many, politicians suppose
that the division of the United States would
be for the general good, and especially for that
of our own empire, by preventing the growth
of dangerous power, and lowering the ever
weening boastF1lness and bullying tone for
which Americans have rendered themselves no.
torious. Anything that w0tild abate these
last would be public good, and to the Amer
cans themselves marvellous improvement;
but, nevertheless, VIC always doubt the wisdom
of those po iticians which desire our neighbOrs
injury for our own good; and the bercvolence
of those who desire it for. his good; we have
more faith in the policy of wishing people well,
without one reason to show for it but that it
is right, than in that Of wishing them i'll, with
all the deep reasons Of the deep men Of The
world for it. In fact, our experience teaches
us to attach exceedingly little value TO the
opinions Of those who calculate how their own
good will comic out Of their own neighbors'
trouble. Their selfish forecast is a great OBJ
structOn to that foresight of which it is the
mean parody. We have far too hiyba view
of the mission and provdential place of the
British empire TO feel anything like compa-
cency when ifs greater glory is sought by the
humiliation of any Christian country.
But we have not worse opinion of the prin
ciPle of wishing for disruption Of the States
than Of the policy of il ; and though in this we
may look for much less concurrence, we are
not less convinced in our own minds. To
think that it would be for the safety Of British
interests on the other side of the Atlantic, that
the United States should be split into two RI
val nations, is, we humbly think, the reverse OF
