THE CULTIVATION OF SORCHUAL.-
Some years ago Mr.. J. Henry ScheIl. Of
Schellsburg, brought from Kansas, a
quantity of Sorghum seed, which he
planted and from which he raised
crop that yielded q very fair profit up
on the labor and expense employed in
the experiment. Since then the cul-
tivation of this plant has engaged the
attention OF a number of farmers in
different parts Of thecounty. We have
been informed that last year several
persons cleared upwards of $500 on
patches Of u few acres planted in sor-
ghum. Our climate and soil seem to be
admirably adapted to the culture of
this plant, and we should not be sur
prised if il would eventually become
one of the staples of the county. The
syrup expressed from the sorghum
cane possesses very strong saccharine
qualities and i a very palatable article
for the table. We are Of the opinion
that our agriculturists would do well TO
engage extensively in the culture Of
this plant, as it will certainly return
Them alr pIUnt upon the labor and
money they may eXpend upon it.

phis Aralanche is as rampageous before the
test of strength and bravery which the rebellion
decided. The Aualdnche man tears his hair and
hows because several people of Memphis had the
audacity to rejoice the passage of the Civil
Rights Bill by Congress over the President S
Veto That paper says none but Yankees of the
New England stripe could have brazen effrontery
to so insult the Southern people, but it takes
great consolation in the fact that "there are but
few of them, and they are all Yankees-mark it
all Yankees" with whom association is con-
tamnation. and whose presence is amoral lep-
rosy and death" And it adds 80 If the plant

of these Radicals, one-horse Yankees, who re-
joce every time the South has an insult heaped
upon her, let them call at the Avdlanche Office
they will be given at once. So long as we can

The Mines

Good and cheering reports of the result of min
ing operations begin to come from all parts O
the county. An immense amount Of, gold will
be taken out in Trinity this season. Mr.. Rhodes
has started al Express between the Forks of New
River and this place. He arrived on Tuesday
bringing us several letters from miners in thai
section. Mr.. Caraway writes us that the mining
season opens briskly and that within a few
months the world will hear reports from thai
section which will be quite as readable as those
coming from Montana. Rich-paying diggings
have already been opened, and new corners were
arriving daily. Chas. Foulke, late of this place
writes US from Pony Greek, May 18th, as follows
arrived here on the oath of last month, and
found the creek but little more prospected than
when left here in So. have found the old
channel, and am hard at it. Ny lowest day
work since Icommenced was Sc, my best $22.-
believe this New River country is the best min
ing section on this coast. There are bat seven
men on this creek, and on Eagle creek, another
rich-paying stream, only few miners are work
ing at present"
Mr.. A. n. Foote, from the mouth of Willow
Creek lower Trinity. called on us last Monday.
Himself and VIM. Webster have lately opened q
good claim there, and considerable prospecting
is now being done. From SO to SS day has
hIreauy Deen OBTAINED.
John McCammon has gone to prospecting Ce-
dar Flat in earnest, and has already found indi-
cations which will result in populatng that To-
cality in due time. No work has been done at
that place since the commencement of Indian
disturbances in the spring of g. We further
learn that good-paying bar diggings have been
found on French Creek, eight or ten miles from
its mouth French Creek heads in the New Riv-
er range, and empties into the Trinity about two
miles above Taylors Flat.
Mr.. Abrams, trader, who resides at the head
waters Of Coffee Creek and on the boundary line
between Trinity and Klamath, tells us that the
miners there are unusually prosperous, and that
a large amonnt of unprospected country in that
section offers inducements to enterprising prac-
tical miners. The Coffee Creek diggings, he al
go tells US, are paying handsomely.
At Douglas City things have a quiet appear
nnce for The reason that everybody is at work
Labor was greatly retarded during the winter
by reason Of continued heavy land slides which
broke and damaged bitches and fumes. Some
good claims are being worked at Cape Horn and
Redding's bars, and Fillibuster Flat. On Smith s
Flat the heavy claims of Shepherd & Co., Dixon
and Maher are under full Roadway, with cheer
ing prospects. The Portuguese claims are sup
posed to be paying largely, although what the
exact yield is nobody but themselves know.
About home the miners all busy, and but
little cleaning up has been done yet. Ed. Bon
tecou picked up nugget weighing three ounces
and S12 in his West Weaver claim the other day.

. Pr. FOR GRAPE CutruRr-some v.rr j.

A PLEA FOR GRAPE CuLruRE.-Some yery in.
teresting statistics have just been officially an
nounced regarding the vine products of France.
In connection with the following statements il
is well to say that the hectolitre is little over
% gallons. 1t appears that the average annual
produce of the vineyards in France is 3s, 900 600
hectolitres. Of this quantity, ,.l3, ,34o, 900 bec.
toltres are offered for sale; 2,454 900 hectoli-
tres are distilled and converted into spirits Of
wine or brandy; the quantity exported to foreign
countries amounts to 2,O3O, 900 hectolitres 300
600 hectolitres are used for vinegar, and Is.
245, 900 hectolitres are consumed by the growers
or sold direct to consumers. The VINEYARDS
which are in the hands of 2.250, 900 landed nro,
pretors, are situated in seventy-eight depart-
ments. The annual consumption of wine in Pa
rs by each inhabitant is estimated at one becto.
litre and half. The annual consumption of
wine in this country, BY each inhabitant does
not average one gallon while the consumption
of q ardent spirits " (strong liquors) probably
exceeds, per capita, that of the French more than
one hundred fold Referring to this fact. Bea-
dies Monthly says that I" if the consumption of
greater quantities of native wines would be fol-
lowed by the use of less whisky in the United
States, we should let our prayers be-plant vine
yards on every hillside -
