JAS. CHURcuMAN.-This gentleman who
went on to Washington to witness the in
auguration of his old friend Abraham Lin
coin and procure an appointment, instead
of presenting himself at any of tie depart
ments has nobly taken up arms in defens e
of his country, and is now serving under
Cassius VI. Clay as a soldier. A recent let
ter from him to his wife states that he had
been standing guard at the Annapolis juno
ton ten successive nights, and was going
to do more of the same kind of service
Nh. Churchman. so far as party service goes,
is better entitled to the favorable conside-
ration of the President than many who have
received office at his hands, and, we pre-
sumo, were he as importunate as some 9TH
srs he might be enjoying the reward of hi;
tolls for the success of the principles which
now prevail in the government.

Or GRAPE VINE CULTURE.-W. D. Porter,
writing in the San Francisco Call on this
subject, says: s.
Any kind of grape can be improved by
cultivation and grating, and from native
grapes at times, the best wines are made.
The pollen of the grape flower is very sus-
eeptible of injury by contiguity to other
plants a single lettuce, cabbage, or q bar
barry plant will, if allowed to flower near a
vineyard, injure the whole crop if not COW
ering large space. High winds are par
ticularly obnoxious to the vine; their sap
runs freely and in large quantities, as a
single vine will, if bruised, bleed pint
during a night, and it will therefore be seen
how essential it is TO protect the vines
| from high winds. Another enemy to the
vine is moth, they lay their eggs in clus-
tiers beneath the leaf, and when the iarva
comes forth they eat voraciously, and grow
to large size, They are large worm, OF
hairless caterpillar, about four inches long
of green appearance, light brown spots
along the sides, with horn sticking oat
| near the tail.

PARsoN BRowNLow's DAUGHTER. - The
house of the celebrated, bold-hearted and
outspoken Parson Brownlow is the only one
in Knoxville over which the stars and
stripes are floating. A few days ago two
armed SecessionistS went, at six o'clock in
the morning, to haul down the stars and
stripes. Miss Brownlow, a brilliant young
lady of twenty-three, saw them on the pi-
azza. and stepped out and demanded their
business. They replied they had come to
" take down them d-n stars and stripes"
She instantly drew revolver from her side,
and presenting it, said, Go onl I'm good
for one of you, and think for both p
''By the looks of that girls eye, she'll
shoot" one remarked. " think we had
better not try it; We'll go back and get
more men," said the other.
sGo and get more men," said the noble
lady "get more men and come and lake IL
down if you dare ~
They returned with company of ninety
armed men and demanded that the flag
should be hauled down. But on discover
ing that the house was filled with gallant
men, armed to the teeth, who would rather
die as dearly as possible than see their
country's flag dlshonored, the Secessionists
retired
When our informant left Knoxville, the
| stars and stripes still floated to the breeze
over Parson Brownlow's house. Long may

NEVADA ASKS IT.-The Republicans of
Nevada county asks at the hands of the
Convention to assemble at Sacramento on
the 18th inst, the nomination of one of her
estimable citizens, John I. Sykes, for Clerk
of the Supreme Court. A gentleman with
out rcproach, Republican of long and
honorable standing, thoroughly and pecu-
liarly qualified for the position, we give
nstice to the Convention about to assemble
that the claims of Mr.. Sykes will be urged
by the Nevada delegation with all the earn
estness his rare merit demands, and with
the confident expectation OF success. 1t i:
al Nevada county asks, and to this much
at least her position in the Republican ranks

portraying the characteristics of the Blue Noses,

vein which distinguishes the class Of writers to
which Mr.. Coszens belongs, and, to say it is
deeply entertaining is but to feebly tell its NOR

Cerroy AND CHISANEN.-We noticed lately
in the columns of the Union letter from
A farmers wife announcing the success
ful raising by herself of excellent cotton.
The plant grows and produces well in the
valleys Of the State Take this fact in con-
nection with the yet unsolved Chinese ques-
tion, and that other difficulty in which our
government finds itself involved with the
naughty cotton growers in the Southern
States, and let US see what can be made out
Of the combination of things.
The Chinese grow cotton in their native
country. They understand its culture
This country will prodlce cotton. The
Chinese are coming here in large numbers.
They swarm in the mines to the tune OF
some forty thousand. They are nuisance
among the whites We can hardly expel
them from the State, but We may confine
them to certain localities. Cotton is going
to be dear. Suppose we encourage them to
cultivate cotton. 1t is better to assign them
lands to grow cotton than to leave them
exposed to the abuse Of the hard hearted
of our own race better than to undertake
their expulsion from the State. Cotton
growing will pay them. If it succeeds in
helping to weaken the power of King Cot
ton it will pay us, and pay our country
Why not try the experiment of inviting the
pied lands of the State The idea is, per-
haps, not new one, but, old or new, at
this time it is deserving of attention.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE14. 1861.
Ont Of. Their Own Mouth. Condemned.

Out OF Tneif own .uoufns condemned.
In the resolutions passed by the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee we find the,
following:
5. That all forNcr partisan differences are LOST
in the present overwhelming crisis and he who
would sock k,-by feviYing them, to distract the
people, or. to wrest from their honest and patri-
stic devotion some sordd partizan advsEtage is
not true to the country, nsr worthy of the name
Of American citizen.
6. That as Calfornians, we appeal to the whole
people of California, without distinction of party
or reference to partisan issues, to stand with us
by our country and our flag, that all may know
that the great Union Democratic Party of Cali
fornia is the overwhelming minority Of her citi-
zens.
AL formeu partizan di iferences arc lost"
are they? Why seek, then, to erect the old
standard Of Democracy, and raise the party
,E,gan?" 'He is not true to his country, nor
worthy the name of American citizen who
"would distract the people, or wrest from
their honest and patriotic devotion some
sordid partizan advantagel" And yet the
people are called upon to support the Union
Democratic party in the same breath that
partizan influences are condemned Why
is the Democratic party authorized to alb
sorb everything else for the support of its
own organization What has it done more.
than any other party to merit the promi-
nence it assumes for itself? We are willing,
the Republicans as mass are willing to
meet the Union men of all parties half way,
but when "partizan differences are lost" it
csrtsinly does not become the Democratic
party to raise those ISSUES by presenting
the party, name and all, and insisting upon
its acceptance and support by men who, if
disposed to adhere to party names, might
claim their own organization to be better
entitled TO partizan favor. We assert that
the Democratic Central Committee has
proven itseif by its own logic to be "not
true to'tsie country, and unworthy the name
of American citizens"
