GRAPE GRowING.-North-C Carolina is pc
culiarly the home of the vine; the best grapes
cultivated in America are natives of this
State. The Catu,o6a, Laspeyres, Warrens,
Pamlicos, Skoupernongs and Waccamaaacs,
etc, are all indigenous to her soil. The lat
itude is known to be best adapted to the
grape in its natural condition. The soil that
originates is best calculated to produce
Vine-culture simply follows, and guides by
experience, the laws of nature Our people
should be assured that by no other branch of
Agriculture, can on small tracks of land be
made more highly remunerative. In foreign
exchanges we noticed the other day that a
vineyard at Gerry, in France, sold at public
auction, at the enormous rates of 1fre thou
sand dollars an acre. There is no valid rea-
son, either founded on soil or climate that
such prices may not in few years be obtain
ed here, in our own country, if our farmers
would only pay enough attention to vine
growing, to require the requisite skill in the
preparation of their soil, and the requisite
knowledge in trimming and working the
vineyard.

The North Carolina State Convention
will re-assemble to-day, pursuant to adj
journment, in the hall of the House of Com
mons. We have had the pleasure of seeing
a number of members in town. Many more
no doubt arrived last night.
We understand Gov. Worth and his friends
are actively engaged in an effort to induce
the Convention to adjourn sine die, on the
pretext that there is nothing for it to do -
We entertain the utmost respect for the Con-
vention, and it is very far from our purpose
to reflect on the motives or the integrity of
its members but we warn them in the most
earnest terms to beware of Executive inf1u-
ence, and of certain other influences in Ra-
leigh. Every effort will be made, and that
in the most insidious manner, to demoralize
and secessionize the Convention Gov. Worth
was in Office but few hours before he declar-
ed we had had enough of provisional gov
ernments; and thong IN he was advised by his
law officer to telegraph the President, and
ask him to continue the provisional magis-
trates and town officers until the Legislature
could meet and fill their places, he declined
