speedy accomplishment. They presented no.
Bile and magnificent spectacle. IL was apparent
to all that the great mission upon which we had
been sent was now about to be undertake en- in
hearty earnest. Every heart beat high with
hope, though most well knew that tho forts and
batteries of tho enemy about to be attacked had
been erected under the guidance of enlarged
military experience and practical skill, and that
behind those distant ramparts, now 90 obscurely
visible, were men Whose numbers were un-
known, aad who, it was confidently supposed,
would defend the soil-sspecially that of South
Carolina, the State that had taken the lead IN
the rebellion, with desperate and unyieldng
courage, and if need be, their llte's blood.

enemy, and others struck dead while In peculiar

c. We were not little surprised to learn
that Mr.. Brown, the candidate for ssembly,
was circulating 10 Shamokn discreditable
story, that Col, Wright had told Major
Dewart, that he would not have addressed the
Union meeting at Sunbury 90 Saturday, if he
had known a Democratic ticket had been
formed, and that he would vote the party
ticket. Mr.. Joseph Bird, who had beard

contemptble story, which bore the impress
OF ialsebood on its very face. Mr.. Bird told

81 GRAPEs.-Ths is the season for this
delicious and wholesome fruit. Every family
in town should have at least two or three
vines, and every farmer dozen. The Isabel
la is the standard and leading grape, and will
always be cultivated, though there are new
varieties that are deemed superior in some re.
spects. Among these, the Concord is per-
baps the most desirable, ss it is exceedingly
hardy, and in some localities earlier. The
Ca,awba is superior grape, but is rather
late, and does not rpen well in this latitude
unless in favorable locations. The Diana, a
Seeding from the Catawba, is several weeks
earlier, and therefore to be preferred indeed
some of the grape cultursts place it at the
head of the list. 1t is somewhat smaller than
the Catawba, and, like that, perfectly round,
and of light red color. The Delaware is
finely favored, but entirely too small.
1t is, however, singular fact, that n this
place lsabelas, very fine in size and flavor
rlpened as early as :be 10th of September
and rather 10 advance of the Concord aud
Diana. There is perhaps, no better locality
for grapes than this place and vicinity. We
have seldom seen q nildewed grape in this
neighborhood
We are indebted to Mr.. John w. Bucher
for some very fine lsabellas. some of the
bun,hes weighing nearly pound and all Of

THE UNION MEETING,

The Union Meeting on Saturday last was
we'll attended, though not as largely from the
country as it would have been, had not the
severe storm OF Friday night bept onr
farmers at home to repair the fences and
other damages occasioued thereby.
The speech of Hon. Hendrick b. Wright.
member Of Congress from LGzerne county
was most eloquent and patriotic. He told
his hearers that he had always been demo.
crat, and should live and die one, but that
man who did not lay aside party issues, at
such time as this, was neither patriot or
true Democrat, and was doing the cause as
much injury as an open enemy to the gov
erDment. The Breckinridge leaders exhbi.
ted the calibre o! their patriotism and brains,
by trying to persuade some OF their men not
to listen to a distinguished Democrat whom
they eulogsed so highly last fall because be
was now in favor of Union ticket, and
denounced all party measures as reasonable
to the country. The speech was received
with continued rounds of applause and many
stout hearts we're brought to tears.
Col. Wright was elected to Congress last
June by the Union party. and remarked ttat
he had twice as much majority Us his Breck,
inridge opponent had votes.
Judge Maynard was loudly called for, but
declined making n speech, as matter OF
delicacy, but said be adopted Col. Wrghts
speech as his own.
