recommended Mr. Alfred Criiger, of New York, as a

implicit eonfijcnce. That accordingly, Mr. Cruger was
engaged and ctyna to ..Savannah in the hitter part ofthat
year, and immediately proceeded carefully -to examine

in his “Lafayette in America” “no country, perhaps is
more favored by nature thau this, and all thu products of
thi! most opposite climates may he easily and abundant
ly drawn from its soil.” The truth of this obsei ration is
every day becoming more evident. Thu successful
experiments in Sugar, ut least, are such as tc» encourage
the planters totem their best exertions 111 tho iutrodue-
tion of new- articles of cultivation, in the pluco ofthe
present depreciated staph*. The grape 1ms been sue-
ce.s-fully cultivated in our statu for several years, and
thu wine made we have reason to know is excellent.—
We me gratified to learn that this culture and the man-
nfactorc of wmc is increasing in our Slate, as will he
seen hv the following extract from the letter of our Mil-
ledgevil'u correspondent
‘•A petition has been received by the Senate from
G. Alexander, of Jasper county for a loan of tOOO dol
lars, to aii! iu the mamiliieture of wine. I have recently
lusted a sample of nativu wine of very good quulily,
made by Clement Duimcr, of.Tnsper comity. It is mild,
of line flavor, nearest resembling good claret, nnd is said
to he, and no doubt is, an excellent summer wine. Mr.
Dcimtr, is a native of .Switzerland, and a man of intelli
gence. He commenced a few years ago though laugh
ed at by his neighbors to plant half an acre of vines.—
This year he has hud two acres in hearing which pro-
duccd him 10.) gallons oft his wine, which lie sells at.$l
50. Next sen Hun, other vines coming to maturity, hu
expects COO gallons. He 1ms hut little land, yet with
the assistance of two hands, who do the ploughing and
hoeing of his grasses, his produce is ns above, together
with nil his provisions ami other urticieg usually raised
011 a farm. He speaks very favorably of the climate.—
Would it not n,d thu euu.su of temperance if thu Tempt*-
ranee Societies, with others, would get up a pre
mium for specimens of nativu wine 7 In thosu coun
tries iu the world where wines are cheap, it is woll
known that intoxication is rare—and if the practicability
of entire almtinennr from all lnjiiors, is ut all it question, it
must ho evident that immense benefits will be derived
from llio substitution of a pure and wholusomo, in place
of thu destroying liquid so much in use among those who
are prevented from obtaining better by the extravagant
prices charged for if.”
The brig Clio, Lieutenant Finkham, fitted ont by

their workmen. There is, indceil, no reme
dy for tho evil of fluctuation ill tho price of
labour, but a fixed rate of wages ; nnd it bus
been demonstrated by every' possible form of
reasoning, a priori nnd a posteriori, by the
light of theory titul the practical results of ex
perience that. n fixed rate of wages would drive
every manufacturer in the kingdom to bank
ruptcy, uml bring slow but inevitable ruin on
the artisan.
The men who have been in combination
against their mnsters for so long ti. period
have begun to perceive their error ; and after

try and reason, which their interested leaders
are doing all in their power to arrest. The
good sense ofthe men will, we havo no doubt,
triumph over the seductive arts of those who,

and misguided passion) urge them to perse

can he to aggravate passing exigency into

Preparations Jur the Russian Retreat.—
\Vo have no late advices from the late theatre
of war; but on comparing tho English with
the Frond) accounts received yesterday, we
believe that tho treaty of peace had not only
been ratified, (on the 20ih of September,) hv
Ihe .Sultan,hut its conditions were already iii
a course of operation; tho Turkish troops
were evacuating Giurgcvo, proparitory to the
occupation of that fortress by tho Russiuns.”
“ We learn also, (says tho London Moriimg
Post of Oct. 2ftd,) and that with surprise, that
so early a period as the 28th of October is
fixed for the payment of tho first portion of
the cnmmereial indemnity, and consequently
that, the withdrawal ofthe Russian army will
then commence. We entertain but little
doubt that the money necessary to free Rou-
mclia und tho Balkan from the invading force
will he provided without delay, if not without
dillicuky. As to-the Principalities, tho evacu
ation ot a territory over which the Fortu has
lost by the terms ofthe treaty all tho authori
ty upon which a despotic power would set
value, iu another consideration, and one not
likely to stimulate t\»c Ottoman government
to any great sacrifices. Tho assertion that
the Uusuiuii garrison arc to hold Bourgas and
Sizebulj for a year after tho payment of tho
indemnity, is so decidedly at variance with
tho letter of the treaty, that it must cither he
untrue or it is the result of subsequent nego-
ciut ion, by which the occupation of those for
tresses is to ho taken in lieu of a certain por
tion ofthe poculinry payment; What tho ob
ject. of. Russia would bo in such a. Teton-
tion, it is not very easy fp rcconcilo with the
disinterestedness of her futuro designs.”

jumping t here from t ho bridge&yellow fartorv.
Subsequently ho went to the Patterson facto

employment, until his vaulting ambition o’er-
