IiiDGEVfAY Wine Growing. The
subjoined communication, from a prac
tical wine growerwill, doubtless prove
highly interesting to owners of vine
yards throughout the St? te:
Ridgeway, N. C, March 27.
- .
Your undersigned contributor, is, fhis
very day, "in all his glory !" Here, at.
the Coterotie, one of the farms lately
purchased Irom Dr. W. Hawkins, for
myself and associates, my "people"
(wife, children, partners and a few
friends) are feasting me, on the occasion
of my birthday. (myi53rd anniversary !
We grow old, don't we, Woodson.?).
This, in itself, would be of no impor
tance at all to the general public were
it not that in the programme of the
celebration, the planting of the first
French grape vines, is the great attract
tive point of this fete de fumill.- ,
Monsieur Victor Olerc, whose masterly
competency in viticulture, I have asso
ciated with my capital and faith in the
success of our enterprise, is the organ
izer in chief of our to-day's feast; and
wanted to corrruence the exploitation
of our large vineyard, by planting la
trigne de V Annicersaire,vhich ultimately
(commencing from next year,) will not
make our poorest grade of wine. But
I must stop rifjmarolling, and speak
more seriously. Well, last and this
week, we received from the south of
France, in the most smiling condition,
one hundred thousand vine cuttings, of
nine fine and rich varieties, seven out of
which, we are positive, will thrive in
this congeuial soil, in this generous cli
mate. We also received from the same
source a few thousand cuttings of fig,
olive and almond trees. We feel confi
dent that some varieties of our tigs will
succeed in this region, and as for the
olive and the almond, nous verrons.
We obtained these cuttings at a con
siderable outlay of money, troubie, &c,
and take a pride in saying, that we be
lieve ourselves to be the only two per
sons (Mr. Clerc and I,) in this broad
Und who, in all respects, concerning
this : importation, could have been served
so well and favored so much. Among our
Aiders, we count the two foremost men
of France, as. wine producers, &c, (Eu
gene liaspail and Gaston Buzille,) who,
lor friendship's sake, for love, for devo
tion to progress,industry and science have
done for us that which money cannot
pay. To Hon. Frederick Watts, the
Commissioner of Agriculture, and to
Secretary George Boutwell, we also owe
our thanks, for the kind and strict or
ders they issued ,in regard to the trans
portation, unloading, &c, of our plants.
Lastly, " lesser lights" have been ex-,
tremcly useful in bestowing upon us
their friendly officers,from the first to the
last..
We are now enabled to commence,
practically, the execution of our theory.
We will teach, without fees, to those
anxious to '"learn the trade." how vines
have to be set out, how they must be
cut, the soil and its configuration re
quired for such and such varieties, and,
in fact, all that pertains to viticnlture
From next December we will be able to
supply some of our neighbors and imita
tors with some choice cuttings at prices
anti-fancy, though selfish as it may ap
pear or be, I expect that at my 57th
birthday a greit number of North
Carolina wine growers of the new order
wili be on hind in the town of llidge-
way. not oniy to celebrate iny anniver-
sirv. and to express their fraternal
sentiments to the promoters, the
pioneers (myself and Mr. Clere,) of real
wine-growmg in the State, (I might
with propriety say in the United State:?,)
but' mainly to congratulate themselves
and the countiy for the prosperity, tlfe
happiness, the morality this new branch
of agiicultural industry, will, at that
time, have brought unon us all. More
anon about vines, &c.
Let me conclude in ordering the in
scrtion of the advertisement enclosed,
and nlease remind your readers, edito
rially, that I want, really, to buy, at the
highest market uriee. 100.000 (or ten
million if I can find them) rabbit skins

Spring. At last the ruthless rigors
of a long and blighting winter have
passed away. The approach of Sum
mer is betokened in numerous ways.
The modest but 1'ragraht violets and
hyacinth s herald its coming. The
strong oaks have put forth their tender
buds, and the wild birds, coursers of the
air, joyously gieet its coming w:iu
sweetest carols. All these tell us of the
advent ol this mighty monarch of all
changes. Soon the btown hills will ap
pear in the lestive robes of balmy spring,
the evening airs be laden with the per
fume of the hawthorn and the rose, the
voice of the laborers be heard in songs
from every field, and the rustling of the
plumed corn awaken the heart to thanks
giving and praise. It is the happiest of
all the seasons that now approaches"; so
coy yet so sweet, so gentle et so willull,
maiden Spring! She brings a new
strength to every heart, and casts a
lresher beam of light Irom every eye.
Welcomed by merchant and minstrel,
by laborer and by invalid, the opener of
every door, the light ot every house
hold, and the queen of every hope for
the future year! The rude winds of
March that have placed so rosy a blush
upon cheeks, are now yielding to the
joyful tear of April. In May, the full
glories of her reign will be seen ; the
rose,the lilly and their beautiful sisters.
Rains are a bundant. The grass is
putting forth in verdant beauty. The
trees are laden with buds. Soon -we
will be in all the glory of the new
year.
Welcome, thrice welcome, gentle, beau
tiful Spring.
Runaway. A mule team belonging
to Wm. A. Jewell, Esq., of this county,
ran away yesterday evening from the
Central depot, and pass'mg the Cottage
Hotel. The driver, Joe Crowder, was

if not serious injuries. The mules were
overhauled near the Yarborough House,
and the wagon and contents saved from

A North Carolina Lady on the
Stage. We copy from the Petersburg
Appeal, of yesterday, the following
item :
The editor of the Roanoke Valley,
while on a recent visit to Washington,
attended the theatre and writes:
The first person we saw was a lady
from North Carolina, who was support
ing the famed Charlotte Cushman in
Queen Katharine; M. P. Pendleton, was
her name, and she was very much com
plimented to us Ly Mr. Dufneld, Ford's
stage manager, btie is yet a novice in
her profession, but bids fair to make
her mark.
The lady referred to is, we believe,
well known in this city and elsewhere
in Virginia, and has been justly ad
mired for her charms of person and rare
brightness ot intellect. It will be grat-
llying to her many friends to be thus
assured, that in the arduous profession
into which she has entered, she has al
ready won such laurels, with the fair
promise and prospect of yet more emi
nent success ana lame.
Kidnapping.-1 A colored woman by
the name of Susan McKesson, stole from
the wife oi Nick Alford, also colored, a
small child, on Thursday morning, and
immediately left for New York. She
was overhauled by the police at Wei-
don, who were notified by telegraph
trom this place, and the child captured
and retured to this city.
It seems that the grandmother of the
child, who lives in New York, had fur
nished tha girl Mcli-esson with funds
sufficient for the purpose, with the prom-
rse or a large amount to place the child
in her possession. The woman, strange
to sav was not arrested, but is now at
large in Weldon. .
Carmer, the Druggist, It is with
great pleasure, not to say anvthing of
ot our btate and city price, that we
announce the fact that Carmer, the
diuggist and chemist of this city, is
putting up a labratory in the rear of his
Drug Store, where he will prepare in
person the varicus medicines and other
goods lor which he has achieved an
enviable reputation. The great and in
creasing demand for hii goods has
made this shop imperatively necessary.
When compatible, we propose to give a
lull and general description of this new
Kaleigh enterprise.

noo, about 3.30 p. m at Pacific, a
