HE PRESIDENT ON THE DEATH OF RUFUS CHoATE.-The following letter in regard to the laae Rufus Choatc has been received by one of the editors of the Boston Courier:

 Washington, 18th of July, 1859.

 :" My DEAR SIR: l deeply regret the death of Mr. Choate l consider his loss at the present time to be a great public misfortune He was an unselish patriot: devoted to the constitution and the Union: and the moral influence of his precepts and his example would have contributed much to restore the ancient peace and harmony among the different members of the con federacy.

 In him the elements were so combined,' that all his acquantances became his devo- ted friends. So far as l know, even party malevolence spared him. He was pure and uncorruptble: and in all our intercourse, I have never known him to utter or intimate sentiment respecting public affairs which was not of high tone and elevated char acter

read of the wealth and power of England it is
not easy to conceive that her territory. e. the

Through the courtesy of Lieut.. Reynolds,
we have received sample of native wine
made by Mr.. V. Knudsen, of Waimea, Kauai.
That place, like the valley of Eshcol of old,
has for thirty or more years been famed for
the size and excellence of its grapes. Long
before the policy or inlpolicy of wine manu-
faeture in the Hiwaiiaan group was ques-
toned, the reputation of Waimea wine"
occasionally made by one of that honored
pioneer band of missionaries, long since
gathered to his rest, was known from Niihau
to Ka'u. An anecdote, which is told as hav-
ing occurred some years ago, illustrates more
forcibly than any logic the superiority of the
wine referred to. The stock of wine for COM
munion service at the old Stone Church, no
matter where. had become exhausted and
the pastor had no alternative in his efforts to
obtain an article suited to the dignity of
those for whom it was intended, but to send
to Waimea, from whence good supply was
procured But on tasting of it, it was found
to possess such delicious flavor and to be
so superior to anything heretofore used, that
it was deemed too good for the purpose and
a substitute was manufactured for the occa-
sion. There is evidently peculiarity in the
climate of that district tavoring this fruit.
Some years ago, a few punches of grapes
from Waimea were exhibited here, which the
late Chief Justice Lee said he had never seen
equalled in the size and beauty of the berry
and the length and weight of the punches.


The sample of wine which We have receiv-
ed is of rich and clear color, resembling a
brown cherry a most delicious aroma, and
in its taste resembles Muscat wine. in the
opinion of several experts TO whom we have
referred it. 1t differs from any native wine
We have before seen in its clear color and its
S,oeet taste. Most of the wines heretofore
made have sour taste, not very agreeable.
We have not learned what quantity of wine
Mr.. X. has been able to produce, but sup
pose this to be the result of his first expert
ment froh vines planted, we believe, some
three years ago. We congratulate him on
the production of wine which if he sue
ceeds in manufacturing it to any extent must
supereede in q great measure the imported
article, as it will and must certainly become a
favorite with all who use it. The locality
which he has chosen for his vineyard is un
questionably to become the Los Angeles
of our kingdom Its mild and even temper
ature favors the manufacture of wine after
the iuice is expressed rs well as the growth
of the grapes. The mere raising of grapes is
not the most important part of the manufac
ture of wine. The adaptation of the temper
ature to successful fermentation is probably
the greatest point to be looked at-Hono-
