A WONDERFUL VINE.-A San Fran
cisco journal gives an account of q
wonderful vine at Montecito, about
three miles from Santa Barbara, on
the road to Buenaventura. It was
planted sixty-ive years since by Ma
dame Marcelina de Domigues, wife
of Spanish veteran, who settled in
Upper California, in 1870. While one
day riding out on horseback, the lady
cut vine branch at the mission of
San Antonio, to use it as a cutting
whip. On reaching home, she plant
ed the branch, and from it has sprung
the vine which is now the wonder Of
California. In 1860. it shaded Il cir
cumference of eighty feet, and it's
stem was twelve inches III diameter,
without q lower branch than fifteen
feet from the ground. Ithas, in some
seasons, borne as many as 5000
branches, and for the last thirty years
has supplied the Domingues family
with their chief means of subsistence.

Mutiny Of !. Negro Regiment.


The Wilmington Herald, of the
25th, gives the following account of
the mutipy that took place at Hilton,
near Wilmington, on Saturday last:
About 4 o'clock on Saturday after
noon, some one discharged a gun in
the grounds of Company d, of this
regiment, and this being breach of
! discipline, Major Wienmann, COM
manding, went into the company
personally to find who was the guilty
one. After some endeavor to find the
proper man,. without avail, he called
the company into line and told them
they were there to remain until they
volunteered to tell who fred the gun.
He then went off to his quarters,
leaving them standing, but had been
there but short time before lie was
informed that the company had
broken ranks and were very noisy.
and disposed towards mutiny. He
then ordered Company A of the regi-
ment to fall into line, ands dsbuckling
on his side arms, he started with them,
with the intention of putting the
whole company engaged under arrest.
Arriving on the front of the company
street, he noticed one man who was
IN the act of Gaping his gun, and
who had already his bayonet on it; he
started to him for the purpose of ar
resting him, when the negro ran, at
tempting to shoot the major as he did
so, and threatening to do so at every
step. The major was following him,
with pistol i'll hand, and also attempt
ing to shoot, but from some cause the
pistol would not fire, four attempts
being made to discharge it without
effect. About this time another riot
Gus fellow was noticed, among several
others, and some officer was after him,
together with the officer of the day,
Lieutenant Mellen. Excitement then
became high with the mutineers, and
they fired several shots at the major,
pursuing the first riotous soldier, but
fortunately missing him, and also
firing indiscriminately at the party
near Lieutenant Mellen, the officer of
the day; the first shot of this discharge
entered the lieutenant's body, causing
his immediate death, and the second
killed member of the company
brought down to suppress the mutiny.
Seeing the result of their madness,
the ringleaders then fed the camp,
and it was again restored to it's quiet
ness. Large patrol parties were i'm
mediately despatched after them, but
none were overtaker' They remain
ed out until after nightfan. when they
returned, and We're taken into custody
and were yesterday lodged in the
military jail in this city. They were
SIX IN number. No other disturb
ance.

eve do not believe that the people

of establishing at Washington the
most relentless despotism the civilized
world has ever seen. Nor are they at
all likely to regard the determination
of the Southern people as the. most
likely means of restoring tranquility,
promoting order aud forming more
perfect Union If that is their tenn
per and their purpose, Congress may
pass such enactments as Mr. Stevens

American civiii1ation

After having considered and dilated
on the high state of civilization and
refinement in 'sYork State" the He
ralI thus treats of. the rest of the
country:
When we cohsiders phJosophically
the condition of the other sections of
the country, we easily discover the
reason of our superiority. The South
we may now leave out of the account,
since everything there is chaotic, it's
society and its institutions being in
the process. of thorough re-organiza-
ton. But as that reorganization is
occurring under New York influence
as the men, the money, the bust
ness capacity, the tact and the intelli-
gence OF New York are largely con-
cerned IN it, we may anticipate for the
South splendid future. The East is
bigoted, fanatic, transcendental, the
oretlcal. narrowminded. It's people
are afflicted with peculiar mental
manias. In religion, they are either
rlgidly Calvinistic or absurdly loose,
atheistical, speculative. Their minds.
kept down by their system of educa-
ton, react, break from all restraints
and indulge in the most fancif;iI and
the most terrible license. More peo-
pie so to church in New England than
in New York. perhaps; but there are
also more rapes, murders and other
horr1d and unnatural crimes commit
ted there. People starvc in Massa-
chusetts, g State note0 for its pseudo
philanthropy and it's interferences
with the affairs Of other portions of
the nation. The West, settled chiefly
by emlgrants from New England and
from Europe, has much the same cha
acteristics, but upon somewhat diff
ferent scale. The West is even more
arrogant and insolent than New Eng
land. It says the same things iii more
domineering and border-ruflan tone.
Ii Boston and Sumner are fair repre-
sentatives of New England, Chicago
and the drunken Senators from that
region are fair representatives of the
West" Where Now England has a
finger in everybody else's pie, the
West sticks i'll its whole hand. New
England deals in abuse; the West in
downright blackguardism and great
deal of knocking down and dragging
out. It is as insane as New England,
and upon pretty nearly the same
topics; but the insanity is of wilder
and more demoustrative form, and
calls more loudly for strait waist
coast. In one respect, however, both
New England and the West are ex-
actly alike, and that is in regard to
their marked, decided, indisputable
inferiority to New York, which is by
all odds the best and proudest deve-
lopment of the American nation and
tho centre of American civilization.

WASHINGTON, September 29.-Col.
Samuel Thomas, Assistant Commits
sloner of freedmen's affairs, in an
official communication; dated Vicks-
burg, September IA, whilst giving his
return for August, says the records in
that part OF Mississippi are destroyed,
and that persons are RELUCTANT to sup
ply the missing information. He
states that 115 plantations are leased
IN Louisiana-ffty- of them by
whites, and tifty-eight by.blacks; also,
1876 in Mississippi-113 of them bv
whites, and +wenty-three by blacks.
There arc 500 acres in eighty-one
plantations III Louisiana and Niissis-
slppi leased to blacks, and $4,000
acres in the same States, in ITO plan
tations. leased to whites About one
half OF the land leased to whites was
abandoned, owing to the overflow of
the Mississippi. A tremendous pres
sufe is being brought to bear by the
returned citizens of all classes to get
possession Of their property. They
are constantly writing to the Presi-
dent and the heads of different bu-
reaus ut Washington, filed with all
kinds OF misrepresentation in order
to effect their purposes. The Colonel
says no property has been libelled for
confscation, and that he has made no
attempt to distribute lands in small
lots to negroes, as he knew it would
meet "'ith strong opposition from all
parties. It would require time to
execute it.. and a military force to
protect the freedmen during the term
Of their lease.
If, he adds, The militia are organ
lied, as fo-eshadowed by Governor
Sharhey's proclamation and endorsed
by the President, he has 40 idea that
the freedmen will remain quiet labor
ers III the cotton fields. They IRE
excited and partially armed The
hope OF organizing the labor of the
State III such q way that the freedmen
will return to the field and recruit the
agricultural wealth of the State as
free laborers, seems to vanish with
the PRONUNCIATION of this militia order.
In conclusion, he says, he hears OF
but little trouble between freedmen
and their employers. Nearly all the
colored people of the State, working
on plantations, have been contracted
with, and the employers are anxious
to make contracts for tine year 1866,
for fear labor. VIII; be hard to get at

ExCTTEmENr IN PANAMA.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.
Panama dates of the 10Th state that that
place is greatly excited by an expected
invasion from CaneR. Business was par
alyzed and a military impressment was
going on, and q force loan was being col
lected from merchants. The rebellion In
Peru was still maintained strongly.
The Brownsville, Texas, correspondent
of the Herald, of the sth says: An ex-rebel
officer boosted hat Sterling Price had been
q Msjor General of Msximilisn's troops
and was empowered TO raise q Cavalry
force of 10000 from the disbAnded rebel
armies. Also that several other rebel Cen
erals had been commissioned by MsXimil-
ian, and il was intended to have 100000
rebels in Maximilian's service within q
year, to keep watch of Sheridan on the Rio
GrAnde. Everything is quiet on the
American side Of the river.
Cur officers at Brownsville recently gave
a banquet TO the Emperor's officers, to-
gether with General Slaughter and several
other ex-rebels.
1t is almost q universal belief among the
American officers that they will be imme-
diately ordered to move into Mexico.
1t is reported that about q dozen desert
ers from the American army and navy
have been engaged in pirsticsl operations
on the coast of Honduras, having murdered
the crew of q small schooner, and subse-
ouently capturing other vessels with it.
they were last seen near Cubs, with an
English vessel in pursuit.
