A CALIFORNIA correspondent of the Neao
York Times states that the bad success of
California wines is owing to dishonest prac-
tices on the part of the wine makers, and
that he who gets his wine from the vine
yard is more likly to get poor than pure
wine. Headds that the processes ofdoctor-
ing, dilution and adulteration were in
vogue at the very outset of that branch of
industry. ,..-.,

Mistaken Economy.

General GRANTS policy of reducing the
expenses of the War Department and the
several bureaus adjunctive thereto is draw
ing down upon his head the severe COM
ments of the press. While there is vast
need of freform, the General seems to have
commenced at the wrong end. He has
discharged some fifty clerks from the Pay
Department. at tWashington-a Department
materially behind in its work, and the re-
suit is that hundreds AMI thousands of ex-
army officers and ex-soldiers are left to
complain that they cannot obtain settle
ment of their accounts with the Govern
ment.
Ii the General would only apply his brain
in sweeping from office the wretched laz-
aroni, whose services could easily be dis
pensed with, and remove the head of the
Pay Department and put business man in
his place, who would make the clerks at
tend to business, it would rebound to his
credit. AS it is, he gets more curses than
praise for his ill timed economy.
THE advance of the British army, known
as the "Ayssinian Reconnoitering Party,'
under command of Colonel MEREwETHER,
left Bombay, in three steamers, on Sept.
18th. 1t consists of one hundred native
infantry and forty troopers, with officers OF
engineers, &c. The party were expecting
to leave Alden, on the 10Th of September,
for Massowah. The principal objects are
to find suitable harbor and shore for de-
barkation and location of some two hun
dred steamers and transports, and good
route and post inland on the high land
some sixty miles from the shore. 1t is
probable that the landing place will be
fixed in Annestey Bay. which is some dis
tance south of Massowah. Our readers
will have to search their Abyssinian maps
now, if they wish to note the progress of
this, the most important war at present
being carried on.

The Bureau of Statistics at Washington
estimates that 5,067,025 acres have been
planted in cotton this year, and that the
yield is 1,764,4 ,4Ol bales of 400 pounds each.
This estimate is rather low one, for the
factors and the chief Southern newspapers
generally state the crop at 100000 bales.
We give everything on the subject, how
ever, in order to add to the general stock
of knowledge on this important matter.

The Government of the new Canadian
province of Quebec is said to have in con-
temptation the imposition of charges, on
timber leaving that province, in the nature
of an export duty. Large fortunes, it is
alleged, are being made by individuals in
the trade, the forests are disappearing, and
it seems to be thought that the trade could
bear much heavier impost than it now
does, and thus lessen the burdens of taxa
tion on other classes of the people.
This, if carried out, will affect the lum-
Der trade of Ohio to a considerable extent.

George Wait, youth of about eighteen
years, employed in one of the grading
parties in advance of the Pacific Railroad,

miles and half from camp, discovered a
party of about thirty, Indians dash out OF

He started to go toward the camp, but the
Indians, by the superior fieetness of their
ponies, cut him off. Young Wait now saw
them divide into two par.ies-one party
going toward his comrade and the other
toward him. He attempted 10 make the

Bennington County.

The railroad war in Bennington County
wakes hotter and hotter ard lines are
drawn tight. apparently on this question
entirely. The two main leaders are I.
w. Park on one side and A. b. Gardner
on the other. The Anti bonding-towns-for
railroad-purposes party have fully organ
lied, as we have before published, and
have full set Of candidates for county
officers, and though some Of them have
declined, they will doubtless fill the vacan-
cies and present a solid front on the day
of election.
The other side. that is, those who favcr
the legislation of the extra session for the
bonding of towns for railroad purposes,
and the building of what they call the
Lebanon Springs Railroad, are also fully
alive to their interests, and even the great
10th Of August celebration OF the battle
of Bennington was turned to good account.
Both of the Bennington County papers
advocate this side of the question, while
the opposition party are represented by a
campaign paper which they get printed at
Rutland.
In the town of Bennington there will
be straight pull between Park and Gard
ner for representative, as the caucuses Of
both parties have been held already and
each has been put in nomination by iheil
respective friends. At the caucus which
nominated Park, the Banner says there
were more than 400 legal voters present
and Mr.. Park was nominated unanimous.

indicate that Park is likely TO come Out

rally on Monday evening next. The whole
