Grape Culture in Los Angeles Coun-
ty, California.

Good grape land here costs from
$40 to $25 per acre. When the
latter price is given, the land has
facilities for irrigation. At present,
many think irrigation unnecessary
in new vineyards; but vines accus-
toned to it can not safely dispense
with it. In planting vineyard,
the land is plowed at least eighteen
inches deep, and hole is made
with a crowbar, into which the cut
ting is dropped. The Mission
grape is giving place to foreign va
rieties, cuttings of which have to
be purchased at prices varying from
S. to $40 per thousand. They are
planted in February or March, and,
when irrigation is considered nee
essary, the water is turned on, both
before and after planting. The
vines are about six feet apart, or at
the rate of one thousand to the acre.
Flowing the first year costs about
S. per acre; after that, slight SUI
face blowing, to keep down the
weeds, is all that IS required, and
costs about $3.50 per acre. Water
for irrigating costs about IS yearly.
Pruning, per acre, costs about 81
the first year, So the second, and So
year when the vines are in full
bearing. This work is done chiefly
by Indians or McxicanS. At the
end Of three years, the yield may
be estimated at five pounds ofgrapes
to the vine; at four years, eight
pounds; and five years, twelve
pounds or upward. The whole cost
of an acre Of grapes-including
price of land, cuttings, water and
cultivation, up to the time they COM
mence bearing-may be estimated
not to exceed SAG. The ye rly ex-
pense after this, without counting
the cost Of gathering and sending
to market, would be only about $40
per acre. The manufacturers Of
wine in Los Angeles are willing to
buy all the grapes they can GET
The price ranges from IS cents to
81 per 100 pounds. This would
give the price of an acre Of grapes
as ranging from $7s to $50, and up
ward. When made into wine, they
would be worth $500 or $500. TAX
ing the lowest price paid for grapes,
the profit per acre, after paying for
cultivation, gathering, and hauling
to market, can not be less than $50.
1t is seldom that a piece Of land
producing nothing but grapes is
sold, and, therefore, we have but
little IN the way OF actual sales
from which to form an opinion rela-
tive to the price of vineyard in
full bearing.-From the Nocember

The Anderson Militia.

The action of the militia company at this
place, in voluntarily boxing up their arms and
equipments, has met with unqualified commen-
dation from several influential newspapers, in
cluding both Democratic and Republican jour-
nails. For the information of our cotempora-
ries, we will state that this company is COM
posed exclusively of colored men, and so far as
we know they are aligned with the Radical
party. We commend their example to the
members of that party generally in this State,
and especially to the rampant aud blood-thirsty
individuals now controlling the legislation of
this good old commonwealth.

Elsction Of State Senators.

The election for Senators to fill vacancies
from the counties of Charleston, Abbeville and
Georgetown took place on Thursday last, 18th
inst. There seems to have been little interest
manifested in regard to these elections. 1t is
thought that Rev. R. H. Cain, commonly
known as "Daddy Cain," has defeated the reg
ular nominee of the Radical party in Charles
ton county. He entered the field, few days
before the election, as an Independent candi-
date. In Abbeville, Capt. Jerry Hollinshead
has probably been elected over Col. James S.
Cothran, who was voted for by the white peo-
pie. We have not heard from the election in
Georgetown county. As the infamous election
law of the last Legislature is still in force, the
result will not be declared for some days yet.

ding the position and have discharged their du.
ties satisfactorily to the people of this county

to their prudent course heretofore, and we
doubt not the future will justify similar praise
