Vings, AND Wines, No, 2,—The, experietice of thuse who experimented first, in
this vicinity; on yine growing, had much to

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

arraying humeelf against the Union party in

_. 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

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.

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

What have we to gain by extending a
general amnesty to the rebels, or by recdns
structing those States while in the hands of
avowed secessionists who not only hiss at
our national airs when performed in Southern. cities, but persecute those who love
them? No, as much as-I-_am_opposed to

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

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 ©
