SUNDAX, MABOM 250i, -1866. . Vings, AND Wines, No, 2,—The, experietice of thuse who experimented first, in this vicinity; on yine growing, had much to _4@o with the incredulity which prevailed, and atil? prévails, on this subject.. The nurserymon about Sacramento, or rather some of them, brought-up, or seat up to the mountains vines labelled with all the choicest nafies in ‘the catalogue, which weré sold at “extravagant. rates. Whenever these came a napai« ‘. Congress; but if such persone will only stop precating the haste with which the: prdiadt hag been censured for arraying humeelf against the Union party in in their present head-long race for. reconstruction, not only of the Southern States _. Jately.in revellion, but also of political pare . ties, which is the great object of the race or strife; I say if they would but stop’ and look back upon the past five years, and contemplate. the great havoe that has been made in our midst by wicked and ambitious politicians, they would not censure us for being keenly alive te any appearance of the danger of. restoring to power, individuals prominent in the late attempt at the destruction of Republican. Institutions throughout they civilized world. 2 a close fight, by B to reconsider gi ' given. Dounis, SS ty" Assistant local’’ finds fault with the sidewalk onthe upper part of-Main’ street and thioks it should be repaited forthwith. We presume Marshal Peirce wad wotaware'} of the factor he would have attended to it promptly. Coxcert.—This evening at 74 o'clock, a concert will be given in the Congregational Church, the exercises mainly by the children, consisting of singing, recitations, sdlect readings and addresses. All are’ invited to attend. Tne New York papers chronicle the safe “tO bear they all “produced “bat” one va_wiety,the Mission grape—the poorest of all gtapes to make wite from at this altitude, as it-develops. too little acid toengage all “the sagar in ferinentation, and more. liable to’ winter: kill than-any foreign variety yet cultivated inthis vicinity.. Because so many had bad luck’ in’ éndeavoring to make their first vines grow, and those who did succeed made such, indifferent wine from. their —gtapee, people conesived the notion that the . _ climate was too eevere or the soil unadapted to the growth of the grape. Had the Logislature fifteen years ago m ide it a State Prisoa offehse to swindle in the sale of grape vines, -we could to-day look out of our windows upon many a smiling aud profitable vineyard, and a mountain of prejud 1ce would not have to ke overcome. As it is we have to prove every position we assume on the eubject by “demonstration. This particular locality may be Gite: but tiot more 80, we shall contend, than some of the best.wine districts of the old world.— pig the. vine growers of Frénce have one good year 1n five, they f they ure satisfied. Here, if we fail one fear in five, it will be awimuch of a dréwback as we need fear.— The last thrée years have been favorable. _ Frost wad feured-and felt’in' Italy in the vine distriéts ens of the Appenines, in the time Columella, who advised the planting of some of the more hardy kinds in order to be sure of a-crop in the worst seasons. ~ ‘Knether thing isto te taken info account’ in favur of our vineyards. They produce vastly more wine per acre than the best wine lands of Eurepe. Svme may object, that Cualifornia wités ‘are inferior: © But: they should take tito consideration that thus far wibes have been chiefly made from the. native gtape, which often was grown upon soils unadapted to it. Besidua the wines were “made by bunglers, the casks ofteutimes imperfectly clean, and the whole process care“feasly or ignorantly gone through. The products of whole vineyards have been lost for want. of intelligent and skillful treatment.— Yet a greatdeat hae been learned. We can ce a vast difference in favor of tho later wines brought to market—an augury of promise for the future. When the approv. ed wine grapes of Europe are more generally cultivated, we shall still see further improvements in the quality of our wines. The first requisite in making good wine, is good grapes, the second is good, clean casks, and the third is, a live man to manage the treatment. These conditions attainable, there is no good reasén why we muy not produce as fine qualities of wine ag ever waa brought across the oceun, and be well remunerated ia the gale of them too. ‘Why not? Experimentsso far show that from five hundred to’ eight hundred gallons of wine ‘may be be made from an acre of vines five years old, ‘and if itbe nut of a good quality the best wine tasters are deceived. If it is theught by the unsophisticated hut to compare with the foreign article, it should be remembered that our wine 18 young, and bas not taken a sea Voyage, which improves some wines greatly. We have been told by Culiferniang who have drank our wines in the East, that they seem there to be altogether another article so greatly are they improved.— Shipments of wine thue far have been from the large vineyards of Loe Angeles and Sonoina.’ Our mountain wine, has yet to find ite way to Exstern tublee and to appreciation. Probably it will be some years. before a surplus will be left over what. is needed for lecal consumption, for, although a great many vines have thie;year: been set » im ecattered patches bereabouts, wap diget ‘that interest taken in wine maki oom ‘of this regive of of cou aatny We arrant.

No, as much as-I-_am_opposed to military rule, I sm yet.more Spposed:to allowing the States lately in rebellion to resume their former relitions to the General al men to represent them at Washington, State Governments. We, unfortunately, did not believe thon when they threatened to break up -our Union, but after having had positive proof of their, bad intentions, I say it becomes us not only to watch them closely, but ia order to circumvent them in their evil intents, but to. sovnd the ‘alarm at the first sign of danger, whether it comes from our President, from the Congress or from any State Government._ Unron, RAILROAD SuBSIDY.—We want a rairoad subsidy! we ask it!! we demand it!!! We want the Sate to guarantee the interest on two or three millions of dollars at least to build a road'from the g-r-e-a-t Pacific Railroad to Nevada City. The State is liberal and the Legislature lavish—give usachance. If it is objected thut this is a sv is the road from San Jose to Sucramento, which fastened parisitieally on to the Pacific Railroad. That isa very long one, and very snaky and circuitous, and it will costa deal of money to build it, «nd pay very little when it is done. Ours is short, immediately taps a rich mining -section, will e. st ttle, and will pay. If we are taxed to builda railroad to and through the farms back of Mount. Diablo,why should’nt others be taxed to build a road through our mines? .We have criminals and crazy people to transport at th pense ofthe State—so we can reduc» State . expenses by making the road carry these for nothing in exchange for the few millions spent! ‘That will save at the spigot. If any further inducement is needed, a-few mere of us will gocrazy or turi-thieves to get the State even with the road company: If the State debt goes on being piled up by millions at a scratch of the pen, as of late, we will go crazy over taxation, or have to steal the wherewith to pay taxes. We trust our local interests will not be neglected by this generous Legislature, while attending to those of other sections. GENERAL GRANT’s Posirion.—The newspaper supperters of “Moses” Johnson are claiming that General Grant thinks and acts with him on his veto ef the Freedman’s Bureau bill and his plans of reconstruction. This is nottrue. General Grant favored the vetved bill, and it was at his suggestion that the fexture placing the Bureau under the control of the military, se obnuxious to the President, was adopted. Neither the Union pxrty oor Congress have any cause of complaint against the Lieutenant General, and we have no doubt both would be very glad to see hia modest good sense filling the Presidential effice rather than the insulting obstinacy.and arrogant presumption of the man who now fills it. a aie. Ir must be cpnéoling to the Union eupporters of thé President, says the Enterprise, totearn that the London Times—the editors of which supported the rebellion dunillion in Confederate bonds issued to them within-that time—congratulates. the President on his veto of the Freeemen’s Bureav: bill, and commends him as a patriot in language almost as extravayant as that © ployed in eulogiging “President” Jeff Davis during the war. = s but also elect such to administer their own . ’ ‘ing the war and bad something lke haifa . arrival there, fom-California, of the famous: trotting stallion Géérge M.
