"Escape!" the boy-god said "is vain!' And shook the diamonds from bis winf: "I'll bind thee captive in my train, rairest of earthly things!" "Go wily Cupid, 50! I freedom's value know! Then hence, away! To none I'll say Love, honor and obey!" "Speed, arrow! to the mark!" he cried, Swift as a ray of light it flew! Love spread his purple pinions wide, And faded from her view. Joy filled that maiden's eyes Twin load-stars from the skies And one bright day, Her lips did say "Love honor and obey!" From the Warrenlon Reporter. Bkinkletville Establishment. VINEYARDS AND WINES. My vineyards are now pretty extensive considering the time (about 10 years) culti vated, and that they have been a subordin ate object only on my plantation. I have fully four acres under successful growth; a bout one of which, or that first planted canopied over with vines on scaffolding. All four acres too, by selections from all parts of our country, and by cutting down and grafting on Wvz stocks ol such as on trial proved inferior, are of the most select kinds for our soil anil climate. After trial, and information by periodicals, and from the greatest cultivators of the vine in all parts of ihe United States, I have cut down most of my Isabella, Herbemont, Madei ras, and Catawhas, and grafted on their stocks my Halifax, the Norton's Virginia Seedling and other hardy varieties, good in every respect, and berries not subject to rolting on the vine. Some, as I have un derstood Mr. Herndon of Oxford, and oth ers near Petersburg, Va. cultivated the Is abella and Catawhas almost exclusively, and that-with handsome profit for a few years. Hut after the vines became older and sea sons changed, riie gr.ipes mostly rotted. So my experience with these kinds; unless I except the Catawba measurably, which some seasons (as the one just passed) was pretty free from rot; and when escaping the above named calamity, it is a most ex cellent table grape, and makes a wine, tiiat matures the same season as made, and readily sells at S3 a gallon at the Rich mond Market &. elsewhere. Hut why cul tivate the Catawba (to much extent at least) when there are other natives, not behind it in intrinsic excellence, and not subject to disappoint expectation by rotting? Not to name my Halifax and some others, here is Norton's Virginia Seedling, vine most flourishing, greatest of bearers, of the best eating kind; never rots, and wine easily made thatsells at S3 a gallon. Yet as an item of facts which go to prove the superior excellency of North Carolina's native Scuppernong, or of its capability of making the most excellent wine (not to name here its other very superior proper lies) I state that a short time since, I set be fore some good judges of wines bottles of Norton and Scuppernong. My Norton wine I am confident was as good as that of the same kind 1 tasted that was handed me (three years since) by Dr. Norton himself alter whom the grape was called at his es. tablfshment near Richmond, Va. The! Scuppernong was my best, or that made of doubly refined sugar added to the nicest, or that pronounced by some belter than best Champaign, and a great favorite with 'he ladies (and gentlemen loo whose taste for wines h is not been vitiated by ardent spirits) in Haltimore. and elsewhere, whith er I send if, and readily obtain $2 a gallon, Scuppernong with Brandy or the like add ed, brings but a dollar. I say these gen tlemen (one of Warren county) after a comparison of my Norton and Scupper nong wines, decidedly preferred the latter, and purchased some as an evidence of such preference. I was so engaged last Spring in removing Multtcaulis trees to my prem ises from those of persons shert-sighted e nough to let me have them for nothing, that I neglected proper attention to my vineyards; and again, from failure of pre eng igp( help at the proper juncture, grapes sufficient to make several barrels of wine were lost by over ripeness and falling; but not withstanding I have of the season's make about 8 barrels, and from recent ex amination all beyond danger of injury or spoiling, and promising superior excel lence; besides I have sold grapes on the premises to some amoun', and grape juice from the press to be made wine as pur chasers choose. But I here remark tha' those who purchased juice other or pre vious seasons, and put brandy therein, found, on comparison that mine, with doubly refined or any sugar, was far supe rior to theirs; although theirs called very good Scuppernong wine. But I find I have written enongh for one number and defer more under the head of Wines and Vineyards to another occasion. Yours and ihe publics with all due de ference and respect. . SIDNEY WELLER. Brinkley ville, N. C. Feb. 3, 1842. Expenses 0 a Ball. The entertain ment given to Mr. Dickens at the Park Theatre transferred money from the pock ets of the rich to those of the poor. One ol the New Yorkjournals says 1 he ex penditure incident to this great Ball, can hardly be correctly estimated. The best informed, say it could not be much under $30,000, most of which went into the hands of the working classes, and a large part of it to females. Among the trades employed, were store-keepers, painters, en gravers, jewellers, printers, postmen, car penters, upholsterers, manlua makers, mil liners, corset makeis, stock makers, ho siers, bakers, wine dealers, &c, and sever al hundred women and men as assistants, cooks, servants, &c. The hackmen alone must have received near $2000, and the S00 boquets in the room cost at least $1000 These do not include the gentlemen at tached to the Park Theatre, or the police officers. Amalgamation. The Massachusetts Legislature, it will be seen by what fol low, are resolved to make black and white the same; al least, to mix the colors, wheth er they will or not. 'The railroad compa nies are obliged to accommodate the negro or negres in the same car and in the same seat with the white man or woman, al though ihe former should even prefer to ride in another car, at a cheaper rate. This is doubtless to compel prejudice to give way and favor that amalgamation which may, in the end, mingle the two bloods and restore the original copper color of this continent, ll is only necessary now to pass an act to compel the tavern keep ers to put the two races in the same bed, without 'any dislinctinction of descent, sect, (quere, sex,) or color," to accomplish their ohjeet: "Railroud Cars. A select committee of the Massachusetts Senate have unani mously reported a bill forbidding any rail road company to establish rules, which shall make any distinction, or give any preference in accommodations to any one or more persons over others on account of descent, sect, or color.' The bill also pro vides that any officer or servant of the company who shall assault any passenger under such rule, shall be punished by fine and imprisonment." iTT'We extract.the following resolution on a subject which is beginning 10 attract a large share ot public attention, irom the proceedings of a meeting held, without dis tinction ot party, in the b .rough of Alex andria, Huntingdon county, on the 14th ultimo: tResolved, That whilst we thus avow our abhorrence of the doctrine of repudia tion, we cannot close our eyes to the course nursued by the Commonwealth in navintr our foreign creditors in gold and silver, while the men who have toiled and sweat ed on the public works, if paid at all, are paid in notes authorized to be issued bv the legislature, anu wnicn notes nave oeen stricken down to 30 per cent, below their nominal value, by the course of legislation now in progress. There Js neither justice nor honesty in thus distinguishing between the creditors of the Commonwealth, and until they are placed on an equal footing we believe the State to be practically in lavor of repudiation." PennsylVanian Colonization. A gentleman in the State of Tennessee offers 60 slaves to the Colonization Society, on condition that they are sent to Liberia It is stated that they are ready and willing to go Mexico and Texas. The New Orleans Bee, of ihe 23th ult. contains news bought bvcapt. Andrew?, fo the schooner C C Zibi iskie, 4 days from Matarnoras. He s'ates, that as he was leaving the last nam ed! place, an express arrived, stating that a body of about five hundred Mexicans had crossed over into Texas and fallen in with a Texian force, when, after a short en gagement, the Mexicans were completely routed. Such was the slaughter reported, it was said that but two Mexicans escaped with their lives. Capt. A. did not remain 10 obtain the particulars of the engage ment. , The value oj a cent. Joseph Ingham, who was arrested at Cleveland, Ohio, for stealing law books, has been convicted and sentenced to the common jail for six months. The value of the 'ooks identified was $34 99: had it been one cent more, this young legal practitioner would have gone to the penitentiary for grand larceny. (jy We are happy to learn, from au thenic sources, that Captain Whyndam Schinley, who was recently clandestinely married, with the co-operation of a son of the mistress of a f ishionable boarding school at New Brighton, to Miss Crughan, lh niece of Col. Croghan and General Jesup of ihe Army, will be defeated in his princi pal object. We are informed that for 10 years to come the present Mrs. Schinley can have no control over the large estates devised to her by her grandfather, the late (Jeneral O'Hara, of Pittsburg, but is entitled by his will to an allowance of onlv one thousand dollars per annum; and farther, that the consent of her father to the marriage is ne cessary, before the property vests in the young lady at all. We shall be extremely happy if other individuals implicated by rumor in this lamentable affair clear them selves from the charge of connivance or par ticipation in proceedings which have exci ted so general a feeling of indignation in this community.. Commercial Advertiser. Importing Cotton. The last Charles ton Courier says that large orders have been sent from Boston and Salem to the East In dies for Cotton duringthe last month! What does the Courier think of such a demonstra tion? Baltimore Sun. Breach of Promise Price of a Broken Heart. At the Court of Common Pleas, held last week in Dover, N H., Martha Ann Prescotl prosecuted George Dame, fur refusing to marry her. I he parlies were both natives of New Hampshire. The maiden was rather an8 interesting young woman, and did not appear, says the Dover Gazette, to 'have felt very acutely the faithless conduct of her whilom lover. The evidence submitted in promise to marry, was contained chiefly in several letters from the defendant, technically called love let ters. Theycontained the most ardent expres sions of love, in language most-appropriate and chaste. 'They spoke of marriage between the parties, as something that had been pre viously understood and .settled, indulging now and then in some of those sudden and rapturous expressions which sonfetimes burst from the lover's lips and pen. Martha An:i was the amiable object" of George's contemplations, and in the conclusion ef his letters he avovved himself in true love like style, to be Martha's "till death." ' The fact seemed to be that George com menced his courtship some time in 1831, some twelve years ago, whilst Martha was living at Roxbury. in Massachusetts. He continued his particular attentions" for four years, obtained the young woman's heart and the promise of her hnd in mar riage. Everything seemed to go swim mingly on, and the prospect was that the parties would soon be married: preparations were even made for the wedding, which it was understood was to take place in the Spring of 1835. But lo, George changes his mind and. for some reason or other absconds; Martha now comes into court and asks for 2,000 as the amount of dama ges which she has received in consequence of the conduct of Dame. The defendant married another woman in April, 183d. &at the time of bringing this suit was with tiis family in the quiet possession of a small farm in Barnstead. The defence set up was,' that in conse quence of certain improprieties in Martha's conduct, Dame was absolved from the per formance of his marriage contract. The plaintiff offered to go into full examination of her character, from her infancy up to iht present time. The jury . gave Martha $9 6 9 75 damages. They appeared to be very prcip in their eslniatlan of the valud of a broken heart Exelct News Letter. Standef Suit. A verdirjt of $5 000 damages was rendered in Baltimore county court on Friday, ifl favor of Johrt Mor timer and wife, irt a suit against David H. White, for slander. Terrific Explosion 'Fourteen fives lost.Ve learn from the 'New Orleans pa-, prrs that an the 19th ull imo, the steam tow boat Mohican, Captain lleaton, whilst engag-d with theS'.ar in towing the Brit ish ship Edward Thorn ovef the bar, (irt wafd bou id.) burst all lief boilers, by hich twelve la fourteen lives were lost amongst Whom are the two engineers, two firemen, and three deck hands. LieUten ant Bdkttp, one of the revenue officers at the Baliztf, was blown from the boat oft board of the Star, and was killed on the spot. The mate of the Edward Thorn was killed by the explosion, and the Cap tain is dangerously wounded. fTThe difficulty of getting Horses from a Stable where surround in 2 buildings are In a state of conflagration, is well krtoWn and that in consequence of such difficulty, Sri sing from the animal's dread, of stirring from the scene of destruction, many valua ble Horses have perished in the flames. A gentleman, whose horses had been in grea' peril from such a cause, having in vain tried to save them, hit upon the expe riment of having them harnessed as though they were going to theif usual work, when, to his astonishment, they were led from the s:aMe without difficulty t-Ral. Reg, Prediction verified Lorenzo Dow sometime before his death, predicted that in 1S42. England would have no King the United States no President an ex tremely mild winter, and very hard times. Murder in the Halls of Legislation. A slip from the Southport Telegraph, Wis consin, furnishes the particulars of a horri ble tragedy which occurred a few days since in the Council chamber of Wisconsin. It says' The Hon. Charles C. P. A met, mem ber of th Council from Brown county, was shot (h ad in the council chamber, by .lames R. Vinyard, member from Grant county. The affair grew out of a nomina tion forsheriffof Grant county. Mr. E. S. Baker was nominated, and supported by Mr. A met. This nomination was op posed by Vinyard, who wanted the appoint ment to vest in his own brother. In the c urse of debate, the deceased made state ments, which Vinyard pronounced false, and made use of violent and insulting lan guage, dealing largely in personalities, tar which Mr. A. made no reply.. After the adjournment, Mr. A. stepped up to Vinyard and requested him to retractr which he refused to do, repeating the offen sive words. Mr. Arnetthen made a blow at Vinyard, who stepped back a pace, drew a pistol, and shot him dead. The. issue appears to have been provoked on the part of Vinyard, who was determined at all hazards to defeat the appointment of Bakf r, and who, himself defeated, turned his ire and revenge upon the unfortunate Arnet. American Inventive Genius. The fol lowing description of a newly invented musical instrument now exhibited at Rich mond, is from the Enquirer of Tuesday: Of all the eccentric fruits of the inventive age, we had ihe pleasure on Saturday of witnessing one of the most curious. It is nothing more nor less than a hybrid mart ster a complete blending of two musical instruments of entirely different construe tion and antagonistic principles in a word, a piece of wonderful meehanism, that pro duces perfect combination of the notes of the Violin, and Piano Forte. The inven tor, Col. A. S. Wood, is a Virginian a resident of Buchanan, on James River. His curiosity was aroused some eight years ago, by some newpper allusion to a im ilar attempt in Europe; and his ' mechani cal unaided by a scientific knowfedge of music, but kept alive and strengthened by perseverance, ba achieved a work, that baffled the skill of (he first mechanics and artists of the 0d World. The instrument consists of a Piano of the usual construc tion & played in the usual manner, A pedalf touching by the foot of the performer, turns a fly-wheel, which regulates the move ments of the machinery. As each particu lar key of ihe Piano is touched, a corres ponding key within the box is acted on brings down on the proper string one of he lour bows, (which are constantly mov- ing on grooves.) at the same lime preszes on the siring a finger corresponding to the human finger, thus forming a perfect note, n every respect similar 10 the note of the Piano. VN e heard a variety ofnusic, and antees and allegros, admirably executed by Mrs Watson and we came to the con clusion that it was a remarkable compound. Some of the Scotch airs in imitation of the Bag pipes in particular, exhibited the pow er of the instrument.. t.
