GEN. BUTLER has written sharp
a lswer to some of the Tribune criti-
cisms OF his course in the late elec-
ton, which that paper prints, with
the following brief but rather tart re-
ply:
We do not care to handy words
with Gen. Butler. We deeply regret
that he chooses to make himself useful
IL thc party he seems TO oppose, rather
rhan - that whence he derives his po-
ltical support. The countenance
Given by him TO the national villiany
rropcscd by Mr.. Pendleton cost Gen.
Grant great many votes, and will do
great harm so long as it shall be per-
sisted IN. What he says about the
national creditors receiving fifteen
per cent. in gold on their loans is not
true; and while protesting to favor
the irll payment Of every public cred
tier, ae is acting so as to keep the
Government dishonored aud its cred
itors defrauded to the latest possible
moment. We profoundly regret that
Gen. Buffers great talents are pat to
10 better use. 10y

A Wine Country.

DIR. Mayo, of Botetourt county, Va,
has published an interesting paper in re-
lation to the Valley of Virginia as vine
growing region. He contends that It has
all the requisites for the profitable aud
successful culture of grapes, to-wit: a
loose, rich soil, with an underlying
stratum of limestone; good drainage,
which if natural all the better, not too
steep, with southeastern exposure, and
one which will admit sun and air, with
natural barriers or protection from cold
portherly. winds; the frosts of winter
neither TOO severe nor lingering in the
lap of spring" nor too hurried in the fall;
the summer fall of rain neither too much
nor too little; clear sky, genial sun,
and soft, balmy breezes The Catawba,
which is the source of four. ffths OF the
wine made in the United States, had its
origin in the Upper Potomac. Accord
ing to all reports received, whenever the
culture OF the vine has been commenced
in Virginia upon the proper description
of land, and with proper means, IT has
been found to be profitable, and that ex-
celeut wine can be made.
Application has been made to the Vir-
ginia and Tennessee Air Line for trans
portation to New York of sixty thousand
pounds of grapes grown by one firm In
their vineyard, near Salem, Roanoke
county.
We have long been satisfied that the
culture of this fruit, and the manufacture
of wines, must be profitable success In
many parts of Virginia, and the result OF
this brief experiment establishes the cor
rectness of that view. Oh, that all the
resources of fertile old Virginia could
thus be brought to testi-Ns.tok Day

proolamat,on Of Gov. Bullock.

Gov. Bullock, of Georgia, has issued

paper thinks any oyster smack is the
"payy" of which the Bullock is com
mander-in-chief" 0o
"wHERrAs, Notwithstanding the exec
utive proclamation Of September IA, 1868,
many lawless acts have occurred IN vio-
lation thereof whereby the lives and
property OF citizens have been destroyed,
the right Of free speech impaired, the
performances Of the duties Of Offices to
which citizens have been elected denied,
ihe lives of citizens so threatened as TO
cause them to abandon their homes and
property; and whereas protection OF per
sons and property is the paramount duty
of government and should be impartial
and complete; aud whereas the sheriff OF
each county is by law charged with the
preservation of life, property, and peace
in each county;
"Now, therefore, /, Rufus s. Bullock,
Governor and Com mander-in-chief OF the
nrmy and navy Of the State Of Georgia
and of the militia thereof, do hereby is-
sue this my proclamation, charging and
commanding said sheriffs and each and
every other civil officer in every county
in the State to see to it that the lives ana
property of all citizens and the peace OF
The community are preserved, and that
all persons are protected in the free exer-
else of their civil and political rights and
privileges, and charge upon every person
resident in this State that they render
prompt and willing obedience to sheriffs
and other civil officers under all circum-
stances whatsoever, and that they demand
from said officers protection when threat
ened or disturbed in person or property,
or denial of political or civil rights; and
that, failing to receive such protection,
they report the facts to this department.
