WAR AND WINE.

Under this caption, the New York Times
of July 10, thus discourses
9 The gigantic war between France and
Prussia promises to be a calamity to the inn
mense dealers in French and German wines
in this country The first telegram announc-
ing the commencement of war between these
colossi was signal for a general advance in
the price along the lines of the wholesale
dealers, and as soon as the rumors of the
first bloodshed was received in the Metropo-
lis, wine, both French and German. that
was easy on the market, rose at least five per
cent. in five hours, yesterday, and conse-
quently the hdbttues OF Delmonicos and other
aristoeratic restaurants opened their eyes in
amazement. A little reflection, donb So,
explained the sudden beginning Of the aer
order of things.
The effect of the war in the wine districts
of France, and especially in those of Ger
many, has been disastrous. The grapes in
the great vineyards along both sides Of the
Rhine, IN the vicinity Of Coblentz and May
ence, are now on tile eve Of maturity, and
In the course Of two months time they would
be in proper condition for harvest-a day
looked forward to by the peasauts of both
countries With anxiety Situated as they
are in the immediate pathway of the contend
ing hosts, the prospect of a large vintage is
anything but hattering. either during the
present year or the year to come Already
the legiuns Of France are 90 the march to
this region, and they will undoubtedly be
coniroted by Prussian troops, which will re-
! suit In general destruction of the immense
wine establishments located there This
misfortune was visited upon the inhabitants
of the same district during the wars of the
first Napoleon.
The only outlet for German wines at the
present time, is through the neutral territory
OF Holland. a nd even then the shipping Of
wine to this country is fraught, with great
risk. French cruisers will detain and over
haul all cnrgoes bound for foreign port
Rhine wine and sparkling Moselle are likely
to be dear articles of drink to both our Ger
man and native countrymen for some time to
come.
Exporting French wines, such as cham
pagne and claret, have suffered bur little
since the general advance. SO far as our
reporter has been able to ascertain. they will
be furnished to both large and small dealers
at about the same price as heretofore The
reasons are Obvious. On the French side of
the Rhine, in the wine country, are situated
number Of fortified cities, and their de-
struction is not probable. The great strength
oil the French Navy enables French wines to
be exported to other countries with but little
more cost to the exporter than formerly"

Thomas Springer, a Veteran
Republican Editor, on the
Chinese Problem.
[From the Amador LEDGER.

That a necessity exists for the cessation
| Of Chinese immigration to California. no
, sensible man will deny, and the question
gravy presented to every candid man is,
how shall it be done? We do not pretend
to answer the question, time and enI Oh
/ tened craftsmanship must answer Yet, if
the late treaty stands in the way of the
accomplishment of the desired end. reason.
justice to our people, nay the first law of
nature, seH-preservation, d, mands the
abrogation Of the Treaty itself. 1t is evid
ent that white labor cannot compete with
Mongolian. In China everything that will
sustain life is made to contribute to that
end-hence aChmese would live and labor
on daily allowance on which white man
would starve. Therefore the former can
work for wages per day that would not
purchase the commonest necessaries for the
white man, let alone those for his family.
and give to China's teeming millions any
encouragement to come, and soon every
avanue OF industry would be filed by them.
Without families to support or children TO
educate, they would soon drive white labor
from all contest with them, and leave the
white laborer in a hol eless condition in-
deed. Every Government should protect
Its own citizens, and should carefully ouard
the poor of its own land against everything
that would make poverty still more oppres
slve, and if the tendency of Chinese labor
would be to drive white labor from the
field and give the labor interests of the
country into the hands of race that can
never affiliate with us in any thing. then
political economy, if nothing else, wouId
dictate the course the Government should
persue in the premises-protect the citizen
against all other classes this is the theory
upon which all governments act, and why
should we depart from it. Besides, if
Chinese labor should drive white labor
from the field; what effect would result
therefrom? In all lands poverty is the
rule, wealth the e. ception, hence if cit
izens are driven from the labor fields of our
country by race inferior in intelligence,
and who never can be our social equals,
overwhelming disaster to white labor
would inevitably follow and result in un-
told evils to the Government itself Take

crime, the working woman to prostitution
and shame, their children thrown like
warts upon the world uueducated and with
out hope in the future. Aims houses
would teen with emaeiated poverty, and
prisons filed to repletion by those driven
rom labor to crime to appease the gnaw-
ings of hunger, and in the end would cost
the capital of the country more to keep up
prisons, criminal courts and enforced chari-
ties to meet the demands of poverty, be
sides the decentralization that would newt
ably result from such change of labor,
than could be realized from all the Mon
gollan labor that may ever be employed in
the Government, at the expense Of the
happiness and well being Of our own people.

Grant and his DeGamers.

The enemies of General Grant have
commenced fire upon hin with renewed
yigor as the time more closely approaches
tor President making. He has been mis-
represented by petty enemies froia the day
he stood before Vicksburg up to the pre-
sent hour But amidst all these assaults
he has maintained hero silence more
potent than any defense he could have
made with pen or tongue. On the tented
field aud in the White House, as Chief
Magistrate of this great nation, his has
BEN the part to execute. To his sword
and his pen our country is more indebted
for its existence as land of freedom than
Ito any ether living mans But were be
as pure as the Virgin snow, he would not
be beyond the reach Of calunnistors
whose garments are still dripping with the
foul mire in which they wallowed during
the days of secession, men whom he reject
ed for office because unworthy, and men
who would assault the throne of Heaven
for the sake Of Office, and pluck Gods
brightness from the sun with which 10
guild their worthless carcasses here below.
These are his eneaies-these his traducers,
standing in the market places, in the high
ways and on the housetops, huckstering
out their putrid venom like crows. Yet
the great man Is unmoved Their darts
fall around his feet like feathers, and the
loyal breath of a grateful nation blows
/ them far out on the sea of oblivion. -
W hlle we contemplate the grandeur of his
trlumphs, we have no eyes to look upon
the creations of his slanderers. The fires
which burned on every hill top and in
every valley Of the country, announce
: ing MS tnumpbs over the foe, are still
blazing brightly-are still rejecting their
hight IN the hearts Of every true Union
nan throughout the length aud breadth Of
land twice consecrated to the holy cause
OF liberty. But why this vigorous renewal
OF assaults? From whence springs these
shameless assassinations of character? Why
the President hunters are in council, and
he stands in their way. Ills solid popu-
larlty is not underestimated. He stands as
a wall OF brass between them and their
hopes. His reticence is his shield and
weapon at once. He is the gladiator they
cannot wrestle with. He will not open his
mouth that they may pull out his tongue.
SO that point OF attack is abandoned. and
course OF slow poison is being prepared to
pour into the peoples ears But it will
avail nothing. Combinations and new
comers clothed in surplices of promised
patriotism and honesty, may do their worst;
but no power on earth can prevent the re-
election of Ulyssus Grant if he wishes it.
Such is the will of the majority of the
pcople-a tribunal from which there is no
appeal.-Vallejo Recorder.

A lady in an Ohio church rested her head
on the back of the pew in front, as all devout
people do in the time Of PRAYER, but in the
pew before her sat a young man who neither
bowed his head or kneeled. A beautiful
plume nodded and danced upon the head of
the fair one behind him, occasionally touch
ing the neck of the youth, who evidently
considered it fly or some other troublesome
insect. For time he bore the unpleasant
sensation without murmur, but at last
patience ceased to be a virtue, and from the
flash of his eagle eye one could plainly see
that the hour Of THAT fy" had come
Cautiously his hand moved toward the sup
posed offending insect; then followed a
frantic clutch and spring behind him.
Imagine the horror Of the youth to find in
his hand the nobby hat Of the fair one, which
be had torn violently from her head sadly
disarranging the contour of braids and CHG
non. The lady was indignant. oe course.
and the youth could have been purchased at

PROCLAMATION OF NAPOLEON TO THE FRENcH
ARsY-PARIs, July 30.-The following is
the proclamation of the Emperor to the army,
on assuming command in person, issued at
Metz to the soldiers yesterday: ''I come to
take my place at your head to defend the
honor of the flag of our country. You go to
combat against one of the best organized of
the European armies. But other armies as
gallant as this have not been able to resist
your valor. 1t will be the same to day.
The war which now commences will be long
and hardly contested, for its theater will be
places hedged in with obstacles and thick
with fortresses. But nothing is beyond the
perseverance, snd efforts of the soldiers of
Africa, Italy and Mexico You will prove
once more what the French army is able to
accomplish, animated by sense of duty,
maintained by discipline, influenced by love
of country. Whatever road we may take
across our frontiers. we will find on it glor-
ious traces of our fathers, and we will show
ourselves worthy of them. All France fol-
lows you with ardent prayers, and the eyes
of the universe are upon you. Upon our sue
cess depends the success of liberty and civ.
ilization. Let each one do bis duty and the
God of battles will be with us.'i
