Wine and Fruit Grower, New York. While traveling through the "Cafo- linas" last summer, we chsnced to catch ' sight of the Charleston News ; and Courier, wherein we noticed a para grapher's account of a trip to Tokay vineyards, at Fayetteville, N; C. Hay ing once visited the vineyard, some five or six years ago, and remembering the kind and courteous treatment we re ceived there from our old friend, Col. Wharton .J. Green, the proprietor,; our interest was at once aroused. Scanning the lines as our train rattled along, we were greatly pleased to note that the vineyard had been more than doubled in size since the time of our visit, and that extensive cellars and dwellings had been constructed, and in short, the most extensive vineyard this side of the "Rockies" had been created. This is very gratifying to us (as also is the fact that Col. Green has since then been re elected to Congress, this time by 5,000 majority in place of 500 as at first), for it shows what courage and intelligent perseverance will do, as well as the ca pabilities of this State of wonderful and varied resources. But the point that chiefly riveted; our attention was the expressed Opinion of the reporter that "the scuppernong grape will never become a favorite as a wine grape, and "that its product will never take a favorite place upon tne table of the Don vivant " .But ho ... ... . . . . . 1 is good enough to qualify this ex cathe dra condemnation by remarking further on that "it is capable of making a very fine article of brandy, of pale straw color and beatiful bouquet, and with age comparing very favorably with pale Martelle brandy." Mow as to this last quality of the grape, vis : brandymaxmg, we quite agree wit 11 the reporter, tor wn nave seen some very credital la samples of the brandy, both from Tokay and other vineyards. But with regard to the grape a as: a wiuo-proaucing grape, we snail decidedly dissent, and as decidedly back Colonel Green s views. "What man has done, man can do," and that a very superior dry wine can be made from the scuppernong has been made from iU is a fact that we know to be beyond dispute, for we have repeatedly seen specimens which not only "filled the bill" in our estimation, but were pronounced "very; superior " by European experts; in oar firesence.

In aloohoHo strength and appear ance it resembled a high grade' Sauterne; in bouquet and first taste resembled a light dry cherry, and made one of the best dinner wines we ever saw; and ; for cobblers was superb; the after taste; re minded one of an old Rhine wine, and it was dear and pure and soft as a! fine Chateau wine Many wine "sharps" rho tested it declared it "the best wine they ever Baw made from a native Amer ican grape," and that "if it was Only imported from France, instead of North Carolina, it would be called un grande vin.'" Tba Laatj South. Philadelphia Record. Southern cotton manufacturers have increased their output during the past year 18 per cent., and- have obtained better prices than in the year preceding. The same thing is true of iron prod no won; the output is increased 20 per c mt., and prices are 18 to 20 per cent. better: (Jut ot these acorns we may guess what kind of oaks will grow in the future as the transportation facili ties of the Southern Middle and Gulf States are developed. The Pennsyl vania iron trade, oppressed by a tariff on ore and coal, and bending under the rates of overstocked and debt-burdened railroad monopolies, cannot successfully compete with the furnaces in Alabama and Tennessee, located among the hills that furnish them with desired qualities of ore, coal and lime. The ! advantage of location is afro with the Southern cotton mills, and to the advautnge ol location is added the temporary advant age of cheaper labor and of constant water.power the year round for turning out both iron and cotton stuffs. Then is hardly a doubt that, while our in dustries stagnate undor the operation of mischievous laws and unwise invest ment, the Southern manufactories : will for years to come continue to keep their pace. They have nothing to fear or hope for from the operation of legiBla tive hindrances. They are 'assured ; of their own markets, and can defy the competition either of home or foreign trade.. j ,' Hail Starm m Oranae. of Thb Nxws and Obskrvir. ; ' BradshawJN. C, May 12. Cor.
