CULTURE OF THE VINE. 'y .. e folfwing letter ws received seve Tl ral weeks since and has been delayed tor vvanr of room until the present tiaie. Rer (ieviijas.,we d,i, that the Mapte product! 00s of this State are overdone, and are un prpfitabie to. our agricnl turist-i, we embrace With pleasure .every Suitable opportunity of dfssexinating amongour reAders a know ledge of the advantages of I other branches of agriculture. The cult tire of the Vine has for man v years claimed the attention of enterprising agriculfuralfsts, both in the free and slave States, & the success which has Attended every -.veil directed experi ment, is ample' to convince the most scep ticallof its profitableness.' In many parts of this State, that Colture is increasing yeariy, and in this vicinity during the. late season, fcrape cuttings of a gootV quality have! been sought alter with ftteai avitniy. The 'country is indebted to General John lkalian for the introduction of a grape which is phTbably known in the Eastern States and Virginia, as the BlanOIadeira. It is the hardest and most productive vine we have; any knowledge of The. fruit is tole rabli for the table and makes an excellent wine. It is of much darker cohr ihan it was- four ycflrs since, & that circumstance i;oesto confirm the opinion, entertained by experienced vine diessers, that all de scriptions of grape will graduaUy assimi Ia1e it o each other in the same soil and cli mate. That experiment has been fully tested in France, where, -out of 1400 kinds planted in. the same vineyard, there were but'two or three kinds distinguishable af ter the lapse of fiftj years. We are in clined, to the opinion, that native vines transplanted and cultivated will improve in quality and quantity of Hhe fruit, and will ultimately be preferableto all others for wine. These are within the reach of every one, and the prospect of realizing at no very distant peiioij, J'rom two to five hundred dollars per acre, annually, is highly, encouraging to the owners and cul tivators of land, to commence the interest ing culture. i To the Jlilitorjt of the Southern Advocate. I)urinjr Ilie last summer, w hilst engaged in an excursion lhrmih the country between Tusca loosabnd Iluvitsville, 1 ft-U in company and tra velled for several miles, with an intcHierent I Frenfti ngr'u ulturlst, just trorn France, by the w ay of New-Orleans ; and liof troni the motive (if htkM tu'niniy tbe state of American agriculture, previous to his return to his native country, had dcteriminel o take a vicnv ot tliose parts of the country, most highly ctthlvnied."' ; 1 felt extveme!y anxious to see the impressions made on the mind of an enlightened foreigne r by our manner of cultivating ihe soil, and was pro po(tionably gratified by his observations, which uet e'utonce intelligent and liberal. . On! passing through the country, west a few miles' of TVisealoosn, he frequently, and it appear ed tojme involuntarily, -'asked, on looking at the &tiiJt 4nd -Other circumstances around him,v are there no vjnktaiips in this section of country no rilk 'nade ah man dicu ! it is well for France.".- .

It is equal ly certain, tjiat tbe climate of those States is high ly favourable for tlu ftrocess of fermentation which tktm4il dett rmines the quality ef the best wines ; ancf i it is equally as extraordinary that so lit- tre i icjxt'rtion is ntafcing m two States to obtain or cUllttvate th- grapes which produced those de liciokU and valuable, wines which the soil ajid cli niiUdo highly favor the production of. - In Wie r.urseiy of MilWiliiam FnixcE of Lowe jsLAi), N.

I nave just returned from General ;!acks6TSifc.

He declared that he saidto them, he would see the whole earth sink under him before he would bargain or intrigue" for it." - - A correspondent of the Democratic Press, un der date of Washington , 1 8th April, 1 827, hav ing quoted the preceding letter, says " ( " After reading this extraordinary declaration i of General. Jackson 'before all hii company,' 1 called on Mr. Clay and inquired if he knew any thin? about it. , He replied without hesita tion, and with his accustomed frankness, " that ' the statement that .his friends xliad made such a proposition as the letter describes, to " the friends of general Jackson, was, as tar as he knew or believed,' utterly destitute of founda "tionf that he was unwilling to believe that the " General had made any such statement ; but "that no matter from whom it originated, he was ' fully persuaded it was a grosa fabrication, of ' the same calumnious character with the Kre- " mer story, put forth for the double purpose of injuring his public character,anl propping the " cause of General Jackson ; and that for him- ' self and his friends, he defied the substantia tion of the charge before any fair tribunal " whatever. If the .truth of this charge has been thus unqualifiedly denied, it becomes General Jackson to substantiate it, or if he has been misunderstood, which is probable, he should say so.

It some Cataline, or his incendiaries in the strife for su premacy are already scattering firebrands and poison, it behoves everwjvell-wisher to the re public to be awake. It ?is one of Mr. Adams peculiar excellencies, that while he is second to none in talents and experience, he makes neither personal influence nor exertion, for what should always be the tree gut ot a iree people, me discussion is premature ; the election and its various bearings too. distant. .

Chancellor ' Kent, in his Commentaries on American Law, -which is reviewed in the last number of the Nortlt-American Review, speaking on the subject of the choice of the President f the U. States says : The mode of his appointment present ed one of the.most difficult and momentous questions that could have occupied the de liberations ot the assembly which framed the constitution ; and if ever the tranquil ity of this nation is to be disturbed, and its peace jeopardised, by a struggle for power among themselves, it will be upon this verv subject of a choice of a President, fliis- is the question that is eventually to test the goodness, and try the strength of the con stitution ; and if we shall be able 6y half a centurv hereafter, to continue to elect the Chief Magistrate of theUnion with discre tion, moderation, and mte"xity, we sh'al undoubtedly stamp the highest value on ttur nathjnal character, and recommpnil our re publicafi institutions, if not to the imitation, yet certainly to the esteem and admiration of the more enKghte"ued part of mankind."

M, The clouefs were rciuark- able for their density, producing agiee of darkness unusual at suclvn hour. I1ie rain, while fl1iujr with that peculiar im petuosity so oft en observable in this latitude, was for a few minutes attended with haij stones of considerable s'.e, and xf a. very interesting character. Though certiinly much smaller than uch as are said to have fallen in soiiie ther places during the pre sent season, they jvtre liircr than I recol lect, ever to have seen before. They were of two kinds, one almost perfect y spheri cal and varying iu diameter front one fourth of an inch to a full inch, or even morej the other kind was composed of these united in considerable numbers and forininr a per- fectly compact mass. The shapo of ttje latter was irregular but inclining upon the vvhole, to a globular form, though often so flattened as to take somewhat tiie. appear ance of an oblate spheroid. Some of these which I jneasured exceeded in their sreat- est circumference five inches. The single stones were composed of con centric layers formed by alternate deposi tions of coars of iaepossessingdilSereutde- grees of transparency from the mine white of ' Cachohng to the perfect transparency 'of water. The central nucleus Vas in some clear, and in others of an opaque wiiite-. nes, and the superadded layers were de posited with great regularity so as to ap pear of equal thickness in' every part. Their structure was very'distinctly exhi bited; upon exposing (hem in sucSi a man ner as lo mek them rapidly "upon two op posite sides, and in this way. obtaining a thin zone. The layers now appeared in concentric lines, pmetju:es well defined, and at others nejtiug imperceptibly into each other, in the satoe manner as is ob servable in some varieties of chalcedo.ny. The compound stones when subjected to the same process, exhibited a number of such circles united 'at their peripheries. The last lawyer was, I believe, in every case transparent, and! the whole number of distinct accretions, not less than four. The wind was from the VVest and tho considerable during the shower, was- less violent during those moments in which the half was falling To this circumstance we were indebted for the partial preservation of a large proportion of the windows which were most exposed, although many of their panes were broken. . , , Marie. We would particularly call the attention of our Agricultural readers to the Articles which we havet for some weeks past been publishing in the Register from Professor MitchclPs Geological Report- in which Work a discovery Is made , of an inexhaustible source ol Mai le, which must prove of vast importance to every Fanner within its reach, as it is calculated to en rich all the lands in its vicinity, with lit tle trouble or expence.
