eelent article of Scuppernong wine from the vine
yards of the Old North State. 1t is really excel

A Iheb--A Fight, dnts boot-race--The Cor
ner o. Cove and Church streets YVES yesterday the
scene OF row, gotten up by th ee or four of
Uncle Sans sodgers and negro man who stays
IN grocery store in that vicinity. 1t appears
the negro occupied position at the store door to
watch the goods put out for exhibition and four
sodiers-or persons dressed ia unitor1n-stopped
just there, and after cycling the goods for some
time, thought they detected a q cd opportunity
to make Oft wi b couple of bags of -four which
they went to work to accomplish But the dar-
key was on hand, and doubt thinking the con
tiauance of his situa ion depend, d on the saliva
ton Of the goods put under his CHARGE he made
after the purlo ners, and gave SUCH battle as ena-
pied him to recover the two bags of -four, which
ne bore back in triumph to the store. The de-
feat Of their plan anyered the soldiers that they
determined to rally end give Cuffee mauling in
earnest Accordingly, they all four returned to
the store after him, and commenced operations
by hitting at him right and left. He defended
himself the best he could by knocking one or two
them down as they came singly, but finally, find
ing there were too many of them for him, he con.
cluded to give them chance at rtnning and
leavngth the quarters that were getting too hot for
him, he made 'reble quick down Church to
Main street, with all f ur of them after him. On
Main street he lodged into store and through to
the back yard, and thus eluded his pursueTs, as
they were refused permission to follow him
th ough the store. 1t appears the darkey drew
clear claret from one or two of his antagonists
during the tsticuffiana which he treated them to
and it is supposed that this enraged them, and
caused the pursuit. We learn that complaint
was lodged at hea quarters about the conduct Of
the soldiers, and that an investigation will take
place.

Queen Emma.

The Pacific Commercial Advertiser, Homo
lulu, Of October 6, has the following state
ment respecting the movements of Queen
ExNA's party:
There is something about this embassy
to England which does not appear perfectly
straight 1t will be remembered that Mr.
Hoapili and his wife accompanied the Queen
in her tour through England, and they were
everywhere treated with the same respect
that she received. Vague rumors have from
time to time reached Honolulu of maltreat-
ment Of this gentleman and bis wife by some
Of the attaches Of the embassy, which caused
them to separate from It, Another report
says that they were turned adrift in Italy,
without friends or money, and in this state
left to find their way back to England and
Honolulu as best they can. We see no refer
ences TO them. in the notices of Queen Emma
in America, and are left to infer that they
are not in the party. II this be so, it gives
probability to the truth Of the rumors, though
we can hardly believe that any friend Of
Hawaiians could treat them thus. 1t is but
Justice to these Hawaiians that the truth
should be made public, and IL there has been
any abuse Of them, censure should be meted
to those who may deserve it,"

WooLEN G0oDs.-An effort is being made
by some manufacturers Of woolen goods to
induce the owners Of mills throughout the
country to reduce the hours Of labor or to
run their mills on half time during the next
ninety days, in order to allow the trade to
reduce the large surplus Of manufactured
goods now on hand, and which, it is stated,
are now being sold at less price than for
the past eight or ten years, even when wool
was thirty cents and gold at par Unless this
is done further reduction in prices is anti
cipated and consequent embarrassment and
failures among the manufacturers and those
who have large stocks of goods on hand.

Rough upon Mr.. Greeley.

The Chicago Tribune, (radcal,) speaking
of Mr.. GREELEY's aspirations to the United
States Senatorship, deals him this unkind
cut:
"The country at this time wants no in
spired Harlequins in the national councils.
Still less does it want men with statesman
ship so microscopic that they can see moth
ing in public business but the mileage and
per diem Of their fellow-members. II Mr..
Greeley is not satisfied with his position as a
journalist position which ought to be
equal, in point Of influence, power and digni-
ty to that Of six average Senators-and II
the Republicans Of New York want to do
something for him, let them make him State
Prison Inspector or even Governor; any
thing that will not make the party outside Of
the State responsible for his follies."

Instructions Relative to Fees ON
RailFOad Grants.

The Commissioner Of the General Land
Office in accordance with directions from
the Secretary Of the Interior, is preparing in
structions in regard to the fees and costs to
be paid on the selection Of lands under grants
by Congress to States and corporations.
The line Of route of the Union Pacific rail-
road, Eastern division, having been changed
from the Republican fork to the Smoky Hill
fork Of the Kansas river, the Commissioner
Of the General Land Office has instructed the
register and receiver at Junction city, Kan
sas, to restore some 1000, 900 acres, and the
register and receiver at Brownville, Nebras-
ka, to restore some 1,500, 900 acres, to settle
ment and entry under the pre-emption and
homestead laws. The restoration does not
make the lands subject to sale at private en-
try, but only throws them open to actual
settlers.
