We notice that there is considerable
discussion indulged in, in various parts
of the country on the subject of wine
making, and that there is much divefsi-
ty of opinion as to How it should be
made. Some even claim that there
should be not only a liberal supply of
sugar, but of alcohol. 1t is well known
that twenty-five years ago there was
little Madeira made in its native island
that had not an infusion of brandy, on
the score that it would not otherwise
''keep." But that idea has long been
exploded, and neither brandy nor su-
gar is now used in Europe in the manu-
facture of wine. The pure juice of the
grape only is used. They cultivate the
grape suitable to the soil and climate,
and in that and in the care Of express
ing and fermenting the whole secret
lies. We have no grape in this region
from which we can make drinkable
wine without sugar to supply the want
of saccharine matter in the fruit. But
this artificial application to the "must"
is a very poor substitute. The truth is,
we have our doubts if any really fine
wine can be made east of the Mississip-
pi. In portions of Missouri, Kansas,
the 'Indian Territory" and so through
New Mexico to the Pacific coast, good
wine may be obtained. California and
some of the adjoining regions, particu-
larly, will probably become great
wine country, and may even rival the
best districts of Europe. We may hit
upon a grape even here in Pennsylva-
MIA, that may suit the soil and climate,
but it seems next to impossible that in
this latitude, with our short seasons, we
shall ever discover grape with the nee
essary proportion of sugar, and without
it, it is useless to attempt to make good
wiue.-s st,aerican T,ele1raDh.

HIS FARE IN CAMP.

The Richmond correspondent of the
Mobile Register says, few gentlemen
who called on Gen. Lee few days ago
found him in his tent, some miles from
Orange Court House-he never makes
his headquarters in house-and what
do you suppose he was doing9 He was
detected in the act Of making dinner
upon cold bread and cabbage. When
told that he ought not to be acting in
that outrageous manner, inasmuch as
the interests of the country required
him to be in good bodily condition, he
replied, humorouslys that he was Moth
ing but soldier in the Confederate ar
my, had no right to be better fed than
the other soldiers, and, in fact, had to
live light in order to keep down his
rheumatism. Some ladies hearing of
the Generals pitiful plight, sent hlm a
large Fumber ofpatridges. He at once
dispatched them to convatescent officers
in the neighborhood. t....[ .. ..,.I
