There is no State in the Union that sur
passes Missouri in the excellence Of her

superb wines. Many of our vineyards
yield from $500 to $500 profit annually,

DEsT1TUT1oN IN THE SoUTu The great mass
of the people in the North know very little OF
the extreme poverty that exists in many OF
the Southern States Private letters tell more
painful details than the papers, tor there is a
natural pride which makes those who have once
been rich shrink from having their re9erses
made public. How complete that reverse Of
fortune has been may be judged from the fact,
we'll authenticated, that in several States there
have been deaths from actual starvation. There
are some country places where all are miserably
poor alike This poverty is widespread through
out the South, among both whites and blacks,
and it is not to be marvelled at that little in
tercst is taken in politics while the actual ne
cessaries of life are barely obtaipable. No past
aninosi;y will Justify the North in Withholding
its commisseration from this suffering leople

COMMERCIAL FAILURES. In the New York
Times of the 18th, We fnd some statistics with
reference to the commercial failures at the
North for the past year, as we'll as Tor the pre-
cedlng years.
In 1862 the aggregate liabilities of those who
failed were, in round numbers, $23, 1000, 900 in
1868 the aggregate was IS, 900, 900; in 1864 it
was sS,500,000; in 1855 it was S75O0,000,
while in 1866 the aggregate was 100000,
1t thus appears that the aggregate OF liabilities
ofthose who failed in 1866 is nearly six times
as great as in 1862, and nearly three times as
great as in 1865.
