DOMESTIC WINES.

Among the resolutions of the late tenn
perance Convention held in this city was
one upon the use of domestic wines by
professional temperance people. There
can be no doubt that the use of this class
of intoxicating beverages is on the in
crease. Many people seem to have the
impression that liquors fermented in their
own houses, for their own drinking are
less intoxicating than such as arc fermen-
ted for sale. But the truth needs to be
told. swine is a mocker,'' no matter who
makes it. Fermented currant or goose
berry juice is as really intoxicating as
fermented grape-juice. AS DR.. Jewett
once said, substract from these pleasant
drinks the alchohol that enters into their
composition, and nobody could be hired to
drink them.
There are two arguments getting cur
rent on this subject, which delude some
well-meaning people. One is the argu-
ment of dispair. Men will use exciting
drinks it is said, and if they can be in
duced to use light wines and lager they
may be willing to dispense with stronger
and more hurtful liquors. But the taste
for alchoholic drinks is not necessary or
natural, but an unnatural and vicious
taste. Men who have formed and in
dulged it may have difficulty in deny
ing it. But that difficulty is not insup-
erable, and it is certain that no child need
be educated into such pernicious habit.
The other argument is founded on mis-
take in the matter of fact. 1t is alleged
that there is less intemperance in wine
countries than in others. This has been
often asserted, but never proved, and can
not be. 1t has even been disproved, by
an amount aad weight Of testimony that
on any other question but one Of appetite
would be irresistible.
This is coming to be very serious
question. California produ in 1862
about 100000 gallons Of wines, and the
vineyards now under cultivation will
shortly produce, it is estimated, nearly
four million gallons annually. Wine is
also produced in considerable and increas-

entertained by his sister who kept his
house that ne might have left the place,
on the cars, during the previous night, on
some matter of business that called him
away from home. No search was made
to find him on Wednesday, but as he did
not return home during that night. o
considerable anxiety was felt on his &C.
count on Thursday, and several men went
in search of him Immediately after din
ner, and about 2 o'clock, P. NJ, found him
dead in the small stream called Dog Riv-

and began putting in the periods quite on
his own account, blazing away close to

Late in the waning day, the waf left al
most alone in the whirl of the battle,
rebel colonel dashing up and looking
down at him, ordered him to surrender;
Surrender he shouted, you little id

"The words were hardly out of the reb-

piece to order arms, and as his hand
slipped down to the hammer he pressed
it back, swung up the gun to the POSITION

raised his sabre to strike the piece aside.

the proud Colonel tumbled dead from hia

A few swift moments ticked off by
musket shots and the tiny gunner was
swept up at rebel swoop and borne away

troopers, and the prisoner Of thirty min

few ladies can get at him here, perhaps
he may be saved"

point called the temple. But there was
no fracture of the skull. Three bruised
spots appeared on his right hand, viz:
one nearly half way between the root of
the thumb and the wrist, and toward
the back of the hand,-one on
the joint of the second finger, and one on
the joint of the third finger, where these
fingers unite with the hand His tongue
was thrust forward through his teeth, but
did not protude through the lips. There
was also some appearance of choking, on
the neck. His face was flushed. The
upper leather of one of his boots was
broken across the toe, and along the in
side of the foot nearly or quite back to
the counter. 1t may have been cut part
of the way. He had on, when found,
neither coat nor hat. f
His coat was found on Friday or Satur-
day, several rods below the place where
his body was discovered. His pocket
book and some papers, and about thirty
dollars in money, were found in the pocket
of the coat. His hat has not been found.

CROSSING THE ALLEGANY MOUNTAINS

HARRIsBURGH. PENN,
April, 2lst, 1864.

April, 2lst, 1864.
Mr.. EDITOR IL arrived at Pittsburgh
| lst evening, and wishing to view the
beautiful scenery in crossing the Allega-
MES by day, concluded to tarry there
over one train of cars, and take the early
morning train.
Pittsburgh is situated between the two
forks of the Ohio River, the Allegany and
Mouongahela, which here unite and form
that great tboroughfare of commerce, the
Ohio. G1'he city is celebrated for its iron

manufactures and from its cheapness.
being the principle article of fuel for all
purposes, and it being mainly of the
bituminous kind, produces a dense black
smoke which covers the city like cloud,
so that tho sun can hardly be seen in a
fair day, except on Sundays or when the
iron works are not in operation. The
SCOT falling from the smoke. with the Gin
ders from the fires, and the dirt and dust
from the iron, all combine to make it one
of the blacklist citiesin the country. 1t

principal market and depot for shipment

of the mountain, is the bustling village
of Altoona, while to the right, the cloud
of smoke hanging over the mountain side
points out the manufacturing town of
Holidaysburgh.
In descending we take northerly d.
rection, the road running along a narrow
shelf cnt in the rocky way. On one side
the mountain rising perpendicular almost
over our heads, while on the other side
we could look downtown for hundreds
of feet, through the dark forest trees to
the deep ravines below, with the comfort
ing assurance that should any accident
happen to us to throw us from the narrow
roadway, that we should visit those re-
gons in a more hasty manner than would
be agreeable. We have no use for To-
comotive now, except to help hold us back,
and had the breaks failed at this critical
time VIC should have started off on a race
that would have proved faster and more
unlucky, fear, than that of the famous
John Gilpin of olden time.

valley we turn easterly again,-thus form

BRAVE MEN ARE FALLING.

Tritten during battle, and while a violen
storm was raging.
BY AUGUSTA MOORE.
Brave men are falling now,
Are falling, falling
Blood unto blood this day
Is loudly calling.
Amid the cannon's roar.
Our friends are dying.
With none to hear their groans,
Or heed their crying.
The bullet and the sword
Red ways are hewing;
Are heaping bloody graves,
And homes undoing.
With long as fatal reach
Each blow is given
For every warm heart stilled
Many are riven.
Oh, how the rain pours down
'Tis Nature weeping
For all her slaughtered sons
Untimely sleeping.
Her tears in torrents fall
On their cold faces.
And purely wash away
The conflicts races.
But ah how comfortless
Thousands are lying,
Drencbed in this chilling rain, ....
Wounded and dying.
The tide of battle flows,
Mems channels spurning
And who among US knows
Which way It's turning?
But whether victory perch
On southern banner
Or whether loyal North
May shout hosanna,
Ten thousand loving hearts
That now are aching.
Will, in ten thousand homes,
Toosoon be breaking
Oh, noble, gallant forms,
Now all unheeding;
Oh, loved and loving hearts,
Now gashed and bleeding.
Oh, precious, precious souls,
Gone hence before u.s.
How she II we bear the doom
That darkens o'er us?
God smites US for the sins
Our hearts yet cherish;
We must renounce them all,
Or we must perish. t.
With garments rolled in blood,
Through bloodtides flowing.
To Death or purer Life.
We all are going.
