The INsPIRATIoN OF WINE,-Noah, is
generally accredited BY The Commentators
of the Bible as having been the inventor
/ Of distillaiion, and thrrfrst man who drank
wine to excess. Noah could not plead
youth in extenualion of his fault-for he
was six hundred years Of age,when he
came forth from the ark, and he certainly,
il there is so much harm in drinking, has
not addet to his goodIGhsraefSI BY intf6l
ducing TO the world an article which linen
put into their stomaclis tossteal away their
brains" The philosopher Frankland,
however, in q lrttFr TO AbSe lM9rsllrt,
would seem rather 'ihfetentially TO COM
mend -,oah's patent, for he writes: BE
fore Noah, men could not arrive at the
truth, brcause they had nothing else to
drink but water so they went astray,
dtteriOrated most abOminably, and thas
were justly exterminated by the very
water they loved to drink" The ausIere
Cato lends the weight of his Influence to
good cheer-for he frequently resortpd to
wine "to Fl fes MS ,Yirtues' 'l.y HipPocrates
assures us that it does a man good to get
drunk once a month,, which opinion is
fully suppotted by. The celebrated French
physician, Armand de Villenerive; and
la,e philosopher, going ate a grestrr exteris
insists that it is well 10 get dru k, daily
Tor tile mediei6dl leGgefsfAA hisdtiecry
has met with tue most popular success Of
any. Horace also tells MS that no poet
who drinks water can write good poetry. !,
and Athenaus asserts thar Aleeus and
Arisiophanes wrote poems only when they
were intoxicated. Anacreonx wrote but of
grapes and wine, while Pmdsr is redolrnt
Of the rxhilaratiug liquor Ovid's worst
poems, ii is wrllknown, were written in
Scythia, where no wine was made. Byron
fred his music With gin, while Poe wrote
many of his poems when drunk. Flaccus
believed that wine made us eloquent; so
did Sheridan, and Kotzebue assures US
that The fishes are mute, solely because
they drink nothing but water.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN: Having listened with
some amaZement to Hon. Jas. Brooks, Of New
York, to-day pleading the privileges Of member
OfCongress TO name witness before a regularly
constituted committee as "perjurer," an lad
yentuTer," "bandit,' ETC., beg leave to antici-
pate opinion as well by saying that Col. McCOmb
Il not known to he any such character In the
community where he has resided since bOyhOOd
His reputation In wilmington, Del, Is that OF a
good oltlZen-a man In fixed and lucrative bust
MESA patriotic man In COnsOnanCe with the
Ideas Of the age, and perfectly able TO handle
himself without any shield Of privilege lie was
not the lnstlgltOr Of the publications as to the
credit mOblller, made In the newspapers last
fall; aud 10 single him out for this long, pre-
medltated and artful attack, was TO make an
unmanly, an supplementary and an unayalllng
presumption upon the public Creduty In all
vance Of the verdict Of an impartial committee
Of investigation.
In that committee all have confidence. To
TRADE none will submit such q grave matter Of
evidence. MCCOmb no more resembles Jim Fisk
than Mr., Brooks does. Cob McCOmb could not
be found last evening lie Is president Of the
Board Of Trustees Of Delaware College, and as
the state has hut one Representative, and he OF
Mr.. Brooks party, take the responsibility, as a
former pupil Of the college, Of calling halt upon
the public verdict tll the evidence be all before
