the State Penitentiary for the term of nine
years, by Judge Daingerfeld, from the date
of the sentence. A motion in arrest Of

War with England.

Suggestions are not wanting, on the part
of the anti-American press, that the recent
CAPTURE of the Confederate Ministers, Mason
and Slidell, is good cause for war on the
part of Great Britain against the Oni.eo
States. With an earnestness that half dis-
closes hope that it will be so, they propne-
cy that this Nation has brought herself INTO
contact with Great Britain. If Great Brit
ain is going to fight about the seizure oi
these rebels, we should have had her as an
enemy anyhow before our internal oincui-
ties we're settled, and war because we cap
tured these two distinguished traitors, couio
only he used as pretext for hostilltles al
ready determined on for other causes. We
however. feel no fears that England mas any
such intentions. 1t is freely granted that
they are selfish, cold and calculating, as
their worst enemies have represented them
to be, but by no process of reasoning can II
he shown that it is their interest to fight our
Nation. Passing the question OF Interest,"
and speaking of it as gross violation oi M
ternational etiquette, it is not easy 10 see
how England can assume even that posilleh,
filled as her history is, with precedents OF a
precisely similar character, and repiete as
her laws are with authorizations of this par
ticular deed. There may be reasons con-
nected with the Continent of Europe, that
would impel her to peace. We hope no man
can be found in the loyal States, who in
contest, if we are to have one, with Great
Britain, would sympathise" with that
power.

"CH1cKEN FIxINcs. The fondness of
the American soldier for chicken pie, when
off duty, is proverbial. An Auburn paper
gives us an account of bold soldier boy
who went to the wars so free and gay, who
visited the hen corral of resident of Au-
burn after business hours, and drew sundry
rations, in the form of yaller legged spring
chickens therefrom. While he was preying
the owner kept "watch" and "let sliver''
at him with broadside of small shot, at
the proper. distance prescribed by the code.
The distance to the barracks was about 100
yards, and was made in good order, by our
hero, considerable inside of schedule time.
The amount of damage done to him is only
vaguely given in the remark that the sit
ting position is uncomfortable to him."

CAp1roL RExovAL.-We see that the oscil-
lating centre of power in Davisdom has re-
bounded from Richmond, Virginia, to Nash
VILE Tennessee. This ambulatory move
ment seemed to be demanded by the exieenr-
c es now surrounding that Iil starred Goyern-
ment. What part of Virginia was not sui-
lied into secession, was bought up by the
expectation that she was to contain the capl-

growers, however well the mixture may
please the palates of unsophisIlcated women

Olfactores never knew any other wine tnan
Madeira of American manufacture. Tell
them that good wine is never made OF sugar
IN any part Of the world, aud that 70
weaken with water, or strengthen with splr.
its is downright wckedness! The grapes
must be fully ripe, dropping OF ripe, and
to render them so the vines must grow on
stakes or very low trells work. The ex-
pressed Juice must then be put into clean
''wine greenn casks, and cared for very
much Ia the same way as good cider IS

product will be wine that will no. ferment
over again in the stomach, deranging the
liver and muddling the brains.
All tricks of adulteration and debase-
ment our people viii take TO naturally
enough by mere virtue OF their nationality,
aud without being told After they shall
have learned how to make good, pure wine,
then they may, for home use, make cheap
beverage in the following way. Into

press, after all the juice is extracted, or else
we'll mashed wild grapes of good flavor till
the cask Is half or twO-thlrds full then fill
