The Largest Grape Vine in the United l j States.—Under this heading the Natchez, ® i Miss., Free Trader of a recent da’e, has the I following paragraph : “ Mr. William Casey, corner of Union and State streets, in the city of Natchez, can boast ol a grape vine which is, undoubtedly, the monarch vine of the United Slates, it rises from the ground in a single trunk of some I three inches in diameter, nearly straigh and J well proportioned, to the height of about nine I feet, when it spreads into branches, and covers || I and embowers the trelliswork of quite a large 1 garden, besides climbing a tall tree. The i weight of the immense clusters of grapes hanging upon it, now about half grown, is estimated at a ton. To stretch out any of the branches in a direct line, they would measure from three to four hundred feet. The descnp tion of the grape is not natural to the country, but was brought to Natchez in the old Spanish times. It is called the ‘Jack Grape/' from ‘Spanish Jack,’ the nickname of the Spaniard who planted it. Some years ago. Madame Bingaman, now dead, offered Mr. Casey five hundred dollars if he would remove the vine safely to her garden, in the environs of the city ; but no sum of money whatever would induce the owner to part with it. It produces a wine which has the taste of Hock.” The Paris correspondent of the National In telligencer mentions the following:— Balloon ascensions are still the favorite a* musement here. Hardly a day passes but we have an entertaiument of the sort. Lieuten ant Gale, of the English Navy, is in Paris with a remarkably fine balloon. He has made many ascensions of extraordinary daring. Having made known his willingness to accept companions in his aerial voyages at the rate of SGO per seat, one hundred and fifty applica tions were made to him in the course of four g days. Among them are noticed the names of I many distinguished political characters, litera ry men, artists, and savans of the capital. Upon the body of Mr. Rogers Nor they, who lived in the poor house at Ba s h, Me., on Tues day, were found $3,000 in gold, with which he had recently returned from California. He was 74 years old. and his death was caused in part by serving a writ upon him to recover a forfeit surety bond which he had given before he went to the gold region. The writ was served on the Saturday evening before his death, and threw him into convulsions. /<sy MONTHLY JOURNAL, V ' I! Devoted lljTjl \ j/zlj &o tlje Interests of SOUTHERN AG-RICULTURB EDITED BY DANIEL LEE. M.D. Illustrated with numerous elegant and costl Engravings. TERMS:—ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM » IN ADVANCE. On the first of January, 1850, the first number of the Eighth Volume of the SOUTHERN CULTI VATOR will be issued. In sending forth another Prospectus, it is deemed unnecessary to make any new promises. If seven years of continued, unflag ging, earnest effort to improve and advance the Agri culture of the South have not sufficiently established the character of the work, nothing that can be said on this occasion will contribute to such a result. The Publisher desires that his future eff-'-ts in that great and noble cause shall be judged by uis past. It is his purpose to make the Cultivator equal, in every respect, to what it is now ; what the planters of the South want —a medium for the communication of the thoughts and opinions of practical men, that they may successfully teach each other whatever is important to their interests and theirpr ofession. Planters of the South I —the future destiny of the Southern Cultivator is committed t oyour keeping nd care. You, and you alone, can sustain it, and as it is exclusively devoted to your interests, your aid is confidently invoked. If you deem it worthy a generous and liberal support, let it not suffer for the want of that support. If it is of value, it should be in the hands of every man who boasts the proud vo cation of tilling the soil; and the Publisher looks to his friends and the friends of the work to aid him iu extending its circulation. It will be published monthly, as heretofore, on fine paper, in quarto form, each number containing SIX TEEN PAGES of closely printed matter, 9 by 12 inches square, forming a volume in the course of the year of 192 pages —with a complete Index. TERMS; One copy, 1 year $1 00 Six copies, 1 year- 5 0G- Twenty-five copies 1 year 20 00 x One Hundred copies 1 year 75 00 fTjpThe cash must invariably accompany the ordei. WILLIAM S. JONES.
