Coop NEWS FOR CALIFoRNA WINE GROW
ERs.-The passage of the tariff of 1861 promi-
ses to prove of great benefit to the wine growers
of California. 1t places duty of fifty cents a
gallon on all foreign wines, and will thus drive
foreign still wines ont of the market in this
State, and give US much larger market in the
Eastern States than we have heretofore had.
The demand is greater than we can supply for
some years to come, and if we will but furnish
them now with a good article, our wines will
obtain such custom that they cannot alter

vineyards during the last four years will not
prove pro6tless good wine will be made by
millions of gallons, and it will commend high

the market-and intelligent labor, of a class
that will be paid. The consequence will be a
great impulse to the population, industry and
permanent welfare of the State. We have be-


ore us letter written in New York, on the
2Sth of February, by p. Sansevain, who says
that fifty pipes of his wines had arrived there
in excellent condition, clear and sweet, and
there was good demand for both the still and
sparkling California brands, which are regu-
larly kept at some of the best and most fashion

SUIcTDE.-On Sunday night last the body
Of q Chinawoman was found lodged against
some bushes in the river, short distance be-
low the Huntoon Street ferry. Coroner Col
ton being informed Of the fact, proceeded to
the spot, but on account of the ateness of the
hour, he secured the body with ropes and al
lowed it to remain where found until Monday
morning, when he summoned jury and held
an inquest, which revealed facts sufficiently
strong to induce the jury to render a verdict
of Suicide by Drowning. From the facts de-
veloped during the examination by the jury, it
appears that deceased was a young woman of
chaste character, about fifteen years of age,
named All Mon, who had been living and per-
forming labor in the culinary department of a
house of disreputable character in the upper
end of Chinatown. The old woman who kept
the house and owned or had control of the de-
ceased, had been trying to force her to marry
Chinaman and, report says, had whipped her
for refusing. She was missed on Saturday
night, and on Sunday morning her shoes were
found on the bank of the river, near the ferry
boat, where she had evidently placed them
before taking the final plunge.

TEAM BURNT UP-Mr. Gossett informs the
Red Bluff Beacon that, as his team was haul
ing a load of freight to Shasta, under the
charge of his boy it was struck by lightning.
The horses were killed almost instantly, and
the wagon, with the exception of the running
gear, consumed. Some of the freight was
saved, though in damaged condition. The
boy, who had taken refuge from the storm un-
der the hind end of the wagon, was knocked
down, and his right arm paralyzed. Our citi-
zens, with their usual liberallty, have started
subscription to make up the loss to MIR. Cos
sett, whose family are in bad health, and his
team being the only dependence to make
livelihood during these hard times.

TERRITORIAL CoNnnTTEE.-The action of
the Territorial Central Committee, at their
late meeting in Olympia, in ignoring the
abstract issues that demoralized the party
in the Presidential campaign, was exceed
ingly wise and just, answering satisfacto-
rily the earnest hopes and wishes Of every
true democrat


Those points Of dissension never indeed
amounted to anything as a true cause Of
difference, and the only effect Of their ag-
itation will be, as it ever has been in every
local and State election, to divide and de-
feat us. 1t is humiliating thing for q
democrat to wear the badge Of any leader
when be goes to battle, not as the repre-.
sentative Of q principle, but as expressive
Of personal devotion to the cause of some
one man. Let the dead part then bury the
dead, and the war-cry of Douglass" or
Breckenridge" be forgotten.


Any ambitious leader who strives to gal
vanize these dead issues into life, in order
to keep himself before the people, or his
place in front Of . faction, will richly de-
serve political condemnation. One thing
is certain, il we unite we can gain the vic
tory; another thing is certain, if we divide,
we suffer defeat. The 18th day of next
May is designated as the time for holding

We have good reasons for believing that the
accounts in the New York papers greatly ex
aggerated the magnitude of the expedition
which left Hampton Roads last week. The
Rumber of ships is not more than half of what
has been represented, and we doubt If the num-
ber Of soldiers taken on board exceeded fifteen
thousand. If we are correct in this, no attack
can be intended upon New Orleans, or any other
place capable of a strong resistance, but only

In the money article Of the New York Trib'
u,,c Of last Friday, We find the following,


"The Bank Committee having In charge the
matter Of the third afty millions Of the National
loan have had several meetings, and, In an un-
official way. have had communication with the
Secretary Of the Treasury on the subject: No
decisive action, however, has been hal, but It
is understood that they are willing to assume
he ffty millions at opce, provided they can
have the optioh of<tAe stock authorized BY the
Loan act to be issued at per cent. at par
This loan could be placed at once, without am
Guilty, with foreign capitalists. at small com
mission. but the banks claim the option OF Ias-
| 'ng 1t on the ground that they nave taken 60
A. large load of Treasury notes, upon which
there Is no profit"


The New York bsnkr, as the world goes, may
be expected to take all they can get from the
Secretary Of the Treasury, or from any body
else. But Il does not strike us that those who
have taken one loan At the very high rate Of
interest of seven and tbree-tenths per cent,
have any particular ground to claim bonus
in the shape Of an option to take another hun
dred million loan at seven per cept. Interest, at
par. The New York Euening Post stated sew
eral days ago, that this hundred million loan,
of which Congress has fixed seven per cent. In
terest as the maximum, was offered to be taken
by foreign capitalists at six and q half per
,utum. And whether such an offer has actu.
ally been made, or not we believe that the
Government can borrow all 1t needs, not at
ak and half per cent, but at six per cent.
We are perfectly prepared for that dema
pogue clamor Of men who wish to fleece the
public under patriotic pretences, that 1t is bes

THE PUBLICATION OF GEN. THoNAs's REPoRr.-
The New York Times accuses the Tribune of
some unfairness touching the matter of the pub
lication of Gen. Stones and Gen. Thomas's re-
ports, to which the Tribune replies:


1--WE have only to repeat that Gen. Thomas's
aud Cen Stones reports both came 10 us, sur
prisiug as it may seem to the Times, IN the
regular course of newspaper business, with
authority to publish them"


The Chronicle, Of yesterday, rebuts this idea
by saying that,


Anybody who knows anything Of General
Stone knows very well that he would far rather
send correspondent to the guardhouse or
drum him out Of camp. than give him on item
of information. The report of General Thomas
was confidential commun nication between him
self and the Secretary of War, and its prema-
ture and unfortunate publication was never
sanctioned by either the Adjutant General or
Secretary Cameron. They were both in the
possession of the War Department, and the in
ference is, that they were given to the Tribune
representative by some person connected with
that Department in a subordinate capacity. II
could never have been the result Of favortism
as the relations of the Tribune towards the Ad
ministra'ion forbid such a suggestion"

In about an hour the grass caught FIRE, and thu
clouds Of smoke shut out the opposing armie
from view. We had not as yet lost man from
our regiment. In the obscurity the enemy
changed their line, and the eighteen-p Founders
supported by our regiment, took new position
on little rise of ground. As we moved on tc

The enemy had been very severely handled,
owing to the superiority Of our artillery. The
gunners went into it more like butchers than
military men; each stripped off his coat, rolled
up his sleeves, and tied his suspenders around

therefore, were in uniform. To see them lin

CLEVELAND, May 4.


EDITORS LEADER: beg the privilege ofa
little space in your columns, for the purpose
of few remarks in relation to the fund
sought to be raised in this city for the sup
port of the families of volunteers I regret
that any citizen of Cleveland should find it
necessary to complain of a failure of its
people to respond to a demand, which,
viewed as a mere act of humanity, appeals
in the strongest terms to the hearts of US all;
but when humanity, patriotism, and our
obligations to our fellow-men make it our
imperative duty to meet demand freely
and heartily, it stings to the quick to find
Cleveland derelict. The niggardly manner
in which the call for money for the support
of volunteers families has been answered,
is most disgraceful to our city, and will
fasten stigma on US which it will require
many good deeds to obliterate. If I am
rightly informed, only about $4,000 have
been subscribed for this purpose-a less sum
by several thousand dollars than has been
provided by many towns of our own and
other States, with populations not exceeding
ten thousand, and representing not one-hun-
dredth part of the wealth that Cleveland
does, and, of course, furnishing not one
fourth as many soldiers. In those cities
throughout the North of populations about
equal to that of Cleveland, 50 far as I have
been able to learn, amounts ranging from
SOS, 900 to $40, 900 have been subscribed
How ,pitiful, mean and contemplate, is it,
then, on the part of Cleveland, that only
$4,000 should be subscribed for an object
which has called out nearly ten times that
sum from cities no better able to give than
che. It is sincerely to be hoped that our
moneyed men-those men of whom Cleve-
land is proud, and who have done much in
the past to give her credit among her sister
cities, will not allow her in this, the most
worthy demand that has ever been made
upon her, to occupy POSITION in the hind
most rank; but will place her second to
none in generous care for those who are dear
to the noble hearts that have gone forward
to endure the tolls and hardships of war in
fighting our battles. Gcd forbid that they
should return home to find that Cleveland
had forgotten her pledge, and thst their
families had been neglected and permitted
to want during their absence.
