GENERAL LEE, GENERAL GRANT AND THE
COMING SOLDIERS CONVENTION. "A cores
pondent Of the New York Herald, writing
from Richmond, says:
1t has been remarked here that the pres
ence OF Generals Grant and Lee at the con-
vention of the soldiers, North and South,
would tend more to engender an abiding
spirit OF union and fraternity amongst all
classes of people throughout the country
than any event that could occur. The
enthusiasm which animated the Phil
adelphia Convention upon the entrance,
South Carolina delegations would be
but meagre dispay compared with
that which would hail the entrance
OF the chleftains into the Soldiers Conven-
ton. The event would send thrill of Joy
through the heart of the nation, and pre-
sent to the world a spectacle more sublime
and impressive than ever marked the ad-
vent OF peace or illustrated that grand NOR
al pre-eminence and Abiding conservatism
which institute such strong guarantees of
permanent union and fraternity. 1t is i'm
possible to conceive what influence such an
exhibition would exercise upon the coun-
try. 1t would etfectually dispel any hnger-
ing resentment that might exist, and stamp
upon the Union the Impress OF lndlssolu-
bllty. The two Generals in their sublime
relation, wound be esteemed living types vi
national unity and happy emblems Ot abld-
ing peace and fraternity. A solulers' con.
vention, halowed by the presence Oh such
men In relations OF cordial fraternity would
squelch whatever of kadlcalism may la Je

single vine. When fully ripe they may be
shaken down upon sheets spread beneath,
and thus save much labor in gathering.
Here in Carolina and Southwark are
many thousand acres of sandy land exactly
adapted to its cultivation, which may be
bought at a low price, affording q rich field
of investment for capital. The heart of
pine may be procured upon the spot for
making arbor, and swamp muck and often
mari in abundance is found contiguous,
thus afording every facility for its cheap
and successful cultivation.
A few natives and some Northerners have
already entered upon this enterprise, but
there is room for thousands more. We are
anxious to see what the biographies call

The Scuppernong Grape.

Considering its man ysuperior qualities,
it is surprising how slowly this grape has
been disseminated from it's native place in
Eastern North Carolina. The difficulty of
propagating from cuttings was perhaps the
cause as it has been often tried to procure
vines in this way, with almost constant
failure. Now, however, rooted layers may
be procured from persons in various parts
of the State, and this difficulty has ceased.
Abundant experiments have proved 1t,
perhaps, the best wine grape in America.
In the Patent Office report for 1859, Dr.
Charles t. Jackson, Of Boston, notices it,
in conjunction with thirty-eight other va
rieties, and gives it the highest rank for
wine-making. He says, ''With proper at
tintion and care Scuppernong wine may be
made so fine as to excel all other wines
made on this continent" and that "the
cultivation of this grape will amply repay
any one who will devote his entire energies
to planting vineyards of this vine, and in
manufacturing the wine on large scale. y
Notwithstanding the high praise he gives
it, tie grapes examined by him could not
have been fully ri pc, or he would have given
it higher rank a saccharlne grape
When shTiveled and partially dried on the
vine, they would make good raisins but for
tOughness.
The fruit, half all inch to one inch in di-
ameter, has a soft tough skin of pale green
color when ripe, with a slight blush where
exposed to full light It exhales rich per-
fume, which after sunset may be perceived
at the distance of fifty yards or more from
the vine. The juice too is SO sweet that
bees and wasps delight to gnaw in and fill
themselves with it's honey.
All the skill required in its cultivation is
simply to plant and train it over an arbor,
keeping weeds down, and if the soil is not
naturally good, giving an occasional mulch
ing OF decomposing animal and vegetable
matter. ashes, soap-suds, etc. With such
applications on poor land, it will in a few
years cover thirty to fifty feet square so
densely as scarcely to admit ray of sur
shine through it, and bear fruit all over the
arbor.
It is not subject to rot like all other varie-
ties of cultivated grapes, and though the
yield varies in different seasons, it is the
most certain fruit crop made in this region.
Some karvests are truly enormous, thirty
and forty bushels being the product of a
