up for the losses Of two preceding years. The
banks Of rivers and hills of considerable elevation
where the peach crop generally succeeds, are most
favorable for the culture Of The grape.
Much Of the labor required in the vineyard is so
light that It can be done by women and children,
as source Of amusement and delight. The culture
of the grape requires, therefore less hard labor
than other agricultural pursuits, and can be sue
cessfully carried on at less expense.
The culture Of the grape and the making of ma
tive wine, are favorable 10 the cause of temper
anoe. Where this mild wine is made and habtual-
ly drank the people are more temperate than they
are in countries where this is not the case. Those
VINO in perfect health, do not need even go mild
stimulant as is furnished by these native wines,
but as large portion of the people of the United
States sre accustomed TO strong beverages which
act most injuriously ON the mind, as we'll as the
body, il would be great blessing if they could be
induced 10 substitute for them mild and pure wines
which do not make the producers or those who pur-
chase them, incorporate, but which, on the contra
ry, make them far more sober and peaceful than
those who import wines or who make their intox-
icating drinks by the means of the still.
In cases of debility the native wine occupies a
place which cannot be filed by any other medicine
For the table Of the Lords Supper, now supplied
generally with the most naucous articles, the wine
growers viii supply pure wine, and the church
edihce which is now filed on such occasions with an
atmosphere familiar TO those who are accustomed
TO the bar-room, will be pervaded by the grateful
aroma Of the native grape.
There is no reason why any one should be deter
red from cultivating the grape on account of his
not being familiar with the subject. How TO make
beginning he can learn frem those who sell him
the cuttings, roots in few minutes, and then he
has whole year al bis command before he is called
upon 10 take the next step
As the wine grower, after having planted his
vines, has to wait till in the 3rd year, he begins to
obtain returns for his outlay it would be Advisable
that those who have but little capital at their COM
nand, should continue 10 depend for their support
their usual crops until their vineyards fairly
established.
Southern exposure, in majority of cases. is to
be preferred. Where there is danger Of April
frosts northern exposure may be preferable. In the
latter case the vines put out later and consequent
~ suffer less from April frosts.
The grape vine winding gracefully around the
cottage or the farm house surrounds it with an ee-
ment of beauty aud of taste of which our moral
districts greatly stand in need.

IHE LATE HURICANE-THE BAY OF SEM

TON TO THE UNITED STATEs-THE PoRT
OF MONTE CHRISTIE.
By recent arrival at New York we have late
advices from st. Domingo.
The damage done by the hurricane is much more
extensive than was at first supposed, and there is
an immense amount Of destitution and misery
among the numerous sufferers from the calamity.
THOUSANDS OF families in st. Domingo CITY and the
neighboring towns have been stripped Of all they
possessed, and are for the moment entirely depen-
dent upon any little aid they can obtain from the
Government and their afflicted neighbors There
has been heavy loss Of pack animals which fur
nish the only means Of transportation, and the
roads TO the interior in many places completely
blocked up with fallen trees
An English Spectator or agent had been to 81.
Domingo looking after SANTANA for a Coaling and
supply station for line of West India steamers.
The Government has declined TO treat with him. as
they prefer, if any arrangements be ever made for
that valuable bay, IT should be with the Americans
A feeling in favor Of annexation outright 20 the
United States is growing up in st. Domingo This
feeling is not Of recent birth but the transfer of
the Island Of st. Thomas 10 the United States has
had the effect Of stimulating il into uncommon
warmth. The feeling does not yet find populare1-
preston, but the annexation party it is said is in
creasing every day.
A suggestion TO declare Monte Christie free port
was under consideration. Monte Christie has one

Our January Interest.

Judge Watson, of Nashville, was recently
sent to New York with funds to aid in the
payment of the interest due on orr State
Bonds he returns this dispatch
New York, Dec %, 1867
TO Cor. W. G. BroWnl0W:
The January interest will be paid
S. WATSON
The Comptroller sends the same news to
the Governor from Nashville. Thus it will
be seen that, despite the efforts of enemies
at home and spectators in the eastern cities,
crying out that the finances of Tennessee
are desperate, and that the interest on her
State debt will not be met, said interest wiH
be met. Tennessee is not a repudiating
State, and she intends to meet her Just la
bilities. And besides being ,rilling to do so,
she is able Nay, Tennessee, of the eleven
seeded States, is to-day the only prosper
GUS one-having plenty of everything, and
being on the highway Of success So much
for Radical rule in Tennessee

opened. The legislation already enacted on this
subject will be adhered 20 and carried into effect.
The reconstructed States viii be restored 10 their

The mountainous regions Of Tennessee Georgia
Arkansas, Texas and Alabama may perhaps rival
and even surpass in the future, but their nhabi-
tants at the present. are not Of day Of which grape
growers are formed Such are the terms in which
George Husman, prominent wine grower of Mis-
sour, closes his excellent work in the native grape
and the manufacturing of native wine. How far
these words are founded in fact, the experience Of
few years is likely to show I am disposed to
think that this great change which has taken place
in the economic condition of the people Of Tonnes
see, and the mental activity which is one Of the
results Of that change are likely to disprove the
prognostive Of Mr.. Husman. l am the more dis
posed 70 express that opinion since in the course of
my last travels have met in every section of the
State, gentlemen of commanding influence. who
not only make the subject Of grape culture care
fal study, but who also apply their knowledge to
experiments of more or less magnitude
The culture of the grape is highly profitable
The fruit sells at from ten to fifteen cents per pound
ard on railroads steam boats be readily sent
70 distant markets. Early in he year the vines
have TO be pruned in order to keep the sap Of the
plant within certain limits, and thus improve the
character Of the fruit The branches thus cut Oft
meet with q ready sale. II any cuttings remain
unsold, they may be put into The ground, and at
the expiration Of year they are roots which, if
not needed by the owner, generally in great de-
msnd. The sale OF the wine made from the CRANE
varies in accordance with its quality, bat With few
exceptions, is highly remuneFative. Mr.. HusmSn
states that one-third Of AT acre Of the Concord
grape, planted Eve years before, had produced il
cuttings, plants layers and wine the round sum Of
ten thousand dollars.
Tennessee is highly adapted 10 the culture OF the
grape The climate Of West Tennessee is rather
moist but the Scuppenoug and Dolsnare are known

doubt, grow wen there II fairly tried,
The grape can often he cultivated on portions Of
