He DoDGErH.-A we expected our

tiously iat.n;tes that Il sc don't believe
the rebels can be subjugated we ere dis

what does our neiehbor think OF tie loyal
ty of Wendell Phillips, the great Apostle
of loyalty and miscegenation lie has
recently been saying some very naughty
things about the danger to free institutions
By continuing the war, thinks the present
administration can never bring it to q
close, that is subjugate the rebels, and
desires change of rulers &c. &c, True
We think Phillips is in fair way to be-
come sane and has already given evidence
of returning reason, but we suppose Mr
Matt;naly thinks Lc IS on the high road tr
treason and disloyalty. We suppose toe
that the editor of the Republican thinks tc
raistify his readers, and divert their minds
from the plain question we asked him but
in this he will fail as utterly as he did to
answer us.

We learn from the Geographic dispatch
es that another call for 100000 men to fill
mp The depleted ranks of our army will be
made, which if not filed by the middle of
July, by volunteering, viii be filed by
draft. Our miscegen friends for whose
especial benefit the war is being prosecu-
ted ought at once to ill up the quotas of
their respective districts, and thus show
TO TIE world that they are at least honest
and IN earnest in the matter. Thus far
they have been far more ready to urge 9th
ers to 90 than to 20 themselves; buncombe
declarations by the hour, and spread
eagle articles by the column have been
thrust upon the people, urging them to en-
Est in the sacred cause, but the authors
have themselves too generally declined the
glory and self-sacriicc necessary to active
participation in the tolls, hardships and
dangers Of a soldiers life in the face OF
armed opposition. Why in S;ncho don't
the leaders hercabouts enlist, instead Of
urging boys to go?-this war is no boys
play; men are wanted.

Native Wines.

Sacred History abounds In illusions to wine
and as there thirteen distinct Hebrew terms
used IN the Bible to distinguish vntages of differ
ent kinds, condition and ages it is evident thai
the "aneient people" were no less particular il
the matter of"braRds'' than the people of the
present day. The Greeks and Romans had two
hundred varieties of which the "Falernan" was
the choicest, and the products OF particular win
yards were as highly esteemed in Athens and
Rome, the Cliqueot and Mltternich wines now
ere in London and Paris. The wines of antiquity
were often viliainously adulterated. The art OF
"doctoring' TIC juice of the grape is 50 far fl ON
being modern invention tina: it d.tes back 10 the
siege of Troy. HELEN, the fair and frail, is sal d
to have learned the trick in Egypt, and to have
practced it for the sake Of increasing the exhil-
arating properties of the wine she gave to the &C.
tenders of the city after hard battle with tlc
Greeks. The safest and best ofall exhilerentS is
good urine May physicians and mat rons sup
pose must have foreign wine. There is
hundred times the quantity of wine exported from
France, Spain and Germany, than be manu-
factnred there from the quantity Of grapes
There is but one safeguard, and that is to
own pure native wines. Imported wines now pay
a heavy duty, and n bottle Of real Port or Sherry
can only be obtained at high price. There is
no duty or tax on native wines-therefore in he
name ofpuritv and economy, let us have our own
native vines.
Messrs. 3annett Peters & Co. of Chicago, al
ways have an assorted stock OF fine imported wines
in u. S. bonded warehouses, from the most relia-
bic houses of Frame, Spain and Germany, also,
Lrandics, gi1s, runs, &c, nnG have for til three
years been making extensive preparations for the
manufacture of home made wines. Taey have

berries, cherries, peaches, blac.berries, raspber-
