Drunkenness Vines Growing.

Rev. DIR. Bellows writes from Bingen-
on-the-Rhne to the Liberal Christian, of
New York:
cit is much to be regretted that the
friends of temperance have of late been
trying to unsettle the opinion that drunk
enness is rare in vine growing countries
1t is so patent in France and in Germany
that intemperance in the form of drunken
ness is most exceptional vice, shat only
wilful blindness or partizanship could de-
ny it | do not recollect to have seen one
tipsy man since left Paris, and only one
in Paris, and have diligently sought the
places where, IN our country, they would
be found. The truth is, wine is one of
the most common and one of the most beau
tiful gifts Of Providence: an article Joined
with corn in the praises OF saints. The
countries which possess it understand its
use, and are just as little subject to excess
in using wine as in using coen Excess
is found everywhere, and al heavens gifts
are liable to abuse; but to expect France
and Germany to give up wine or beer is
absurd, nor would anything but harm come
from the attempt to enforce their disuse
by legislation. Special efforts must be
made in northern climates to resist the ten
dency to strong drinks, which is aggrava-
ted by cold and the necessity Of harder
work to live, not to add gloomincss of wea-
er. short days, and much darkness.
81 was much Mortified to find, later, in
common use among field laborers, both
women and men, in certain districts aside
from the Rhine, a fiery arcoholc drink
called potato whiskey-strong, Intoxicating
and full OF fusil oil It is part of the dali
ly ration Of field laborers in the region
about Frankfort-a half-pint per day; and
IN harvest time even this does not satisfy
them. They expend . certain portion Of
the extra pay Of this season in aiding to
their wbiskey ration. and many Of them,
am told, even to drunkenness. This is
proper deduction to be made from the
universal temperance observed among the
better classes, and should give some pause
to the inGuirer's verdict upon the sobriety
of wne-making countries Unhappily,
the whiskey is only twenty three cents per
gallon, and wine is many times dearer
1t is, however, universally conceded that
drunkenness is more and more rare, even
among this fell class, and ii is whely con-
fined to it, with rare individual exceptions.
| shall press the investigation whenever I
find opportunity, and report results without
fear or favor, be they in accordance with
theories or expectations or no."

The AMAZON. This greatest river Of the South
American region, destined to be seat of empire
at some day equalling, perhaps, that of the great
valley Of the Mississippi, is attracting more and
more the attention of the civilized world. Prof.
AGAssIz, who, under advantageous auspices mado
extended Brazilian explorations year or two ago,
aided by proper scientific corps is now lecturlng
on the subject in New York. He describes the pc
culiarities Of the Amazon and it's afluents, and
gives an interesting account Of the natural pro-
ducts Of that fertile region, and adds an earnest
plea for the extension of American commerce in
the Brazils. He presents, with much force, the
new openings for commercial enterprise which are
afforded by the free navigation Of the Amazon;
speaks particularly of the three hundred vare ties
Of hard woods growing in Amazonian forests, the
introduction Of which into the worlds markets,
for building purposes, would be Of the utmost
value; alludes to the waste Of native productions
by the present indolent population, and warmly
urges the necessity of establishing settlements in
the valley Of the Amazon, in order to develop it's
immense resources

SOUTH AMERICAN AFFAIRs.-The news from South
America contains the usual variety Of warlike and
insurrectionary rumors. There is serious trouble
in the United States Of Colombia. President Mos
ouERA has made himself obnoxious to the Con-
gress-that body following the example of its great
prototype and model of the North, talks about
Impeachment" This unpleasant ceremony the
President proposes to avoid by preventing Con-
gress from meeting. The quarrel, it is expected,
will be IN interesting one, and residents of Bogota
the capital, are moving away that they may enjoy
it from distance. The American Minister having
also had q difficulty with MosoUERA, was preparing
to depart md general revolution in the State is
reported imminent. Brazil and Paraguay are re-
newing their contest with vigor, and the former
Government, it is said, had offered to emancipate
10000 slaves, provided they would enter the army
now organizing to march against Paraguay. The
end of the war seems as remote as ever. There is
q. rumor that, LOPEZ intended declaring, himself
Emperor, and hoped for the recognition and friend
ship of France 1t would take halfa-dozen pro-
phets to foretell the result Of South American dis
sensions, and reveal the future OF that unhappy

years longer, two and half years, OF two years,
without approaching the verge Of ruin. Business
was suspended now. The people we're oppressed
with taxes. Laborers were thrown out of employ
ment. Ever S;hing was unsettled. Inc wisost
man could not look to the future without appre-

Of danger, and rather than face that danger for

REFORM I'm ENGLAND.

On Monday last the moi. uu1g., known as the Re-
form League in London, had another ''grand open
air" demonstration. Mr.. D1sRAElr, the Chancellor
Of the Exchequer, that same evening, as If s1trn-
dated by the.monster procession, announced in the
House Of Commons that the Government meant to
take up the question Of reform at once, asking
only two weeks for themselves and all parties to
prepare for the issue. The teag1 Tor ''man-
hool suffrage" but this, it is pretty certain, they
will not yet get. There will doubtless be conces-
sion Of further political privileges-and the priv-
lege of the elective franchise will be given to many
now excluded but conservatism has still strong
hold in England; and they will be slow to adopt
such Jacobin principles Of policy, especially as
they ;hayega striking example Of their working in
the distracted condition Of America.
