We are informed that parcel of land +,
consisting of one hundred and twenty
acres, lying on the north side Of Nauvoo,
was sold last week at auction in one, two
and three acre lots, for vineyard pur-
poses, at rates averaging from SIS to
800 per acre. The grape growers of
Nauvoo have probably realized from their
present years crop, wine to the value OF
seventy thousand dollars A number of
grape growers in Nauvoo, who FIVE years
ago had 10 income except what their
daily labor gave them, now have stated
incomes from their grape crops averaging
from 81 500 to s4 900 year. 1t is said
to cost not 10 exceed Sl25 per acre to
trench and plant an acre of ground with
grapes, and the third years growth is
usually good for four hundred gallons OF
wine, worth $500. All the hills around
Keokuk which are too poor or steep to
raise corn on, is the very best ground to
be found for choice wine raising grapes.

wood and apples were standing on our
streets yesterday. The roads are now
good, and the weather is fine and the
farmers are improving it by bringing in
their produce. Everything brings good
prices. Corn was selling at 55(960 cents
per bushel; timothy hay at SIe per ton.
and prairie at sic per ton. Apples were
selling at 80 cents to 81 per bushel.-
Wood, 81 80 to s5 per cord. All kinds
of produce finds as ready sale at the above

Farmers who have grain, hay, wood
dc, which they intend hauling to mar

nA- The Abolition organs call US "ne-
gro-worshippers.' Which is the negro
vorshipper: he who wishes to keep the
negro in his place. or he who would set
him free and give him the rights Of citi-
zenship.- Louisville Journal.
The negro-worshippers, proper, are
those who prefer that the Union shall
perish rather than slavery should cease to
be, and those who would sacrifice the
Union rather than slavery should not be
abolished. There are great many peo-
pie who are not mean enough to begrudge
a fellow being his natural and political
rights because he happens to be weak
and poor and ignorant, and yet do not
think it would be wise or proper to set on
foot revolutions. and interfere with local
laws and established Institutions, to OBJ
tain for them rights and immunities which
justice and humanity would confer upon
them. They are not negro-worshippers |;
yet they are willing that, il in the course
of war, set on foot by those who thought
slavery unsafe in the Union, and. there
fore, set about destroying it to preserve
slavery. the system should be wiped out,
to let it 90. and to establish in its place
social system, founded upon the princi-
pies of universal freedom to man. in
which ave-breeding, and slave selling,
and slave-whipping, and all the concomi-
tant evils of system, in itself wrong,
and in is effects pernicious to the devel
opment of true democratic principles,
