As to the position in which vitum should
he set out, care should at least ho exercilrd
not to have tltcin too much exposed to the
cold wins, nor exclukcd from the rnya of tlio
sun, though the fruit, tins been known to ri
pen well without any assistance from tho
aun’s ray*. a
Low lands are generally unsuitable, be
cause thoy are very subject to late spring
frosts, which are often disastrous to the ten
der young roots of the vine j they nre also
at the mercy of the early autumn frosts, and’
do not obtain that free circulation of air which
is so desirable—besides"!he objection arising
from tho nature of the soil iti such localities.
Hill sides and hill tops are preferable.
Manuring. •
Various methods are pursued in regard to
the tpnnuriug of -vmo soils. Dr. Liebig -.re
fers to instances where'vinos lisve been mnin
.tained in productive condition for twenty or
thirty years, by simply returning to them
tlieiv leaves and trimmings, tho lost being
cot into small pieces and dug into the soil
by means of n spade and line. Some ma
nures favpr tho growth of wood and foliage
rather than fruit; high manuring will gfiiici-.
ally have this effect—a rule which is applica
ble to all other plants or trees. Ground
hones, Horn shavings, old woolen rags, the
dust and dirt from paved roads and streets,
perfectly rotted stable manure, pmidrettc, are
some.of the best snbstances that can he ap
plied. To believe that the vine's continued
thrift and bearing may be depended on, witb
no other nourishment than it receives from
its own refuse, is inconsistent with the best
past experience. Organic testimony shows
what tho fruit extracts from the soil, among
which nre, largo portions of phosphate of
lime and potash. A portion of the last may
l-a restored by the return of tlio trimmings
and leaves j uut ultimately the pntqiStrrequi
red by the vine must be exhausted wherev
er there is not a granite anil to furnish it.—
A* to the phosphate of iiine taken away with
the fruit, scarcely any portion of which is
returned with the vine-wood and leaves, this
must he supplied to the vine in some form,
ir otherviee its produerivencss’ must he.stint-
and. Mr. Brassin, formerly the skillful con
ductor of the royal vinery rtf France, had
a) way* been in the habit of folliuviug -tins
usual custom of enriching iiis grapery with
dung, hut finally came to tho cirmiusioii that
and) an application impaired the quality of
tlic grape- Me afterwards applied tro such
manure, bnt got together the cleansing of
ditches, grass turf; road sweepings, and filth,
and mixed them well together, allowing the
mass thus to ripen for two years. Another
utodc is adopted by him in his system of grape
culture, also possessing some interest ami va{>
ue. When the maturity of grapes is ut hand,
of when, in backward seasons, fears are- eu
tnrtaiued that the ripening will not be easy,
it it usual witli many to cut and (nrll’ off li
the leaves which are before the fruit, in or
der, they allege,that the. sun mnv shine ful
1t upon ’it and ripen it speedily ; for this
srtodo of treatment, which M. Biasain consid
m injurious.

In pruning the great danger lies between
pruning to much and too little.- W’Uich is
commonly known ns tlmspurjiystem ot train
ing and pruning is managed, as full >ws : Al
low each stem to extend the whole height of
the structure, and if the first year it does not
attain ftie size of three irn lie* round it is to
be cut back and allowed another year’s
growth; should it attain more than three
inches in circumference, it must ho regarded
as too strong, and'cut down to within about
four foot of the old wood. Young spurs will pul
out to benr fruit, and one bunch may be. taken
from each of them, the growth of each spur
being stopqed two eyes above the honchos;
there spurs are cut at each whiter* pruning, s7
as to leave two or three eyes on each. These
again sending out spurs, on?, hand) is taken
front each, and so continuing to
year. When grown against the common wall,
lit is advised that the vinos he planted six feet
apart; and supposing the yottng plant to have
one good and vigorous shoot, it must bg cut
down to three or four eyes. As soon ns the
•hoots arc long enough to be nailed to-the
woll,lwo of the best must be selected, and
trained horizontally’ within nine inches of
the ground. When each shoot has extend
ul two and n half feet from the stem,it must he
trained in a perpendicular direction for two
e feet, according to its strength,when
Tie stopped j.and such Internal shoots
’ be produced after that time must ra
dio like treatment ns before. lathe
atitn®, when the leaves havo fallen, each
shoot should be pinned back to the horizon
tal tine where it had been ferried upwards—-
thus leaving febt between the extremities of
each vino. As soon as the young are loug
enohgh, three must, be selected from each
shoot, at a foot distance from each other—
oitnat the extremity, another a foot from
that, and a third six, 3 inches of the
stetn where it had first been headed down ;
these must be trained perpendicularly, add if
each plant baa furnished its six shoots, they
will be a foot from dleh other the whole
length of the wall. When they hare attain-’

season. If the vines should Im weak when j
first planted ant, it will bfc better ti> cut tlmra !
down to two eyes, sclecffhg the best shoot l
from each, twining it perpendicularly the;

two reasons urged in favor of this process —<

Graftg. U
Grafting of the grape-vine i* an operation
sometimes practised by amateurs, the meth
od pursued in sticlla ease being as follows:
: Snivel a scion with one eye, and cut it in tlie ,
’ form of a wedge. For a stock Select a shoot!
j of the preeeeding yvnr,about the same tliick-l
ness as’ tho scion, mid cut it over a little above i
the second eye from the old wood. With a
sharp knffocut.it down the centra nearly to i
the old wood ; opt of the centre, pare with a 1
pen-knifo as nmcli as i* necesary lo make
it fit the cots on ilia side of scion—then
insert the scion with its eye opposite to .lint
on the top of the stock. Tie it op end day
it over in the usual manner, only with this
difference, thaf. tho scion bo almost wholly
covered with day, iearing orrty small hrrfojj
for file eyes. Tie some good moss upon tlio
clay, upon which sprinkle n little water oc
tpisionnliy to keen tlio whole in n moist state
for seme time. What is of essential impor
tance to success iu this method, is tho leav
ing ->f tlio eye or young shoot on tire top of
of the'stock, and allowing it to grow for
ten or fourteen days, when it should bo cut
oft’, leaving only otic eye and one leaf to draw
sap to the scion, ti-l it be fairly united to tlio
stock. With regard to the time of grafting,
it will succeed pretty well when the stocks
are about to break into leaf; but there is
■ more certainty of success when the shoots
of the stock liavo made four <f five eyes of
new Wood : —for by this time tlie sap Ims be
gun to flow freely, and the danger of bleed
ing is over.
This method of grafting has been success
fully pursued by several eminent British gar
deners, and is thought preferable to other
‘modes—such ns whip,Wngno, or wedge graft
ing. By mentis of it many different kinds
of grays many bo tried iti the course of three
or four in a very limited vinery,
and the best and most successful retained for

ETThefi rst Monday in October 18<37,-j}ns
passed, the triumph or defeat of cnmlidates
id Georgia is settled, tho troubled waters of
politics will soon he at rest, and we shall all
glide along quietly and peacefully for some
time to cmne. What a glorious government
wc have, and how proud and careful we
ought to be of it! Every four years the
thirty million* of people who lure and pros
per in this happy land have to select a chief
Magistrate for their country', and although
for the time being the political waters surge,
and roar, and the storm and tempest of par
ty excitement threaten to dash the great
temple of liberty to the dust, yet when tlio
work is done, every’ element settles.into its
proper place, and all is pence ami quiet. So
it is in all our popular elections. What but
excellencies deep-seated and pure in tho or
ganism of. our government could produce
such re-ults as those ? And-should we un
de# the influence of excitement, in some
maddened moment, without reflection , break
ftp:this government ? There are those who
counsel this, on account of the present exist-,
iug difficulties in the Territory of Kansas.—
Let us look to this nia*ter for one moment iu
the. light -of common sense. TTwit Governor
‘"Walker when he declared that the Constitu
tion made by the Convention ended for that
purpose, should be submitted to the bona
fide inhabitants of Kansas for ratification or
rejection, or It-ought to be rejected by Cob-,
gross, went altogether beyond his duty, and
intervened against the South we are, piepareiL
to admit and do admit. He lias received ns’
he deserved to receive, the condemnation of
Southern men of all parties for this most un
necessary, foolish and criminal act . But let
us divest this question of its connection with
Walker, and his dictation, and w'ho is there
that will say that tlie Conven
tion has not the right arm the power to and”
this thing, if they’ see proper? Let os 100k 1
tETs matter fully in tuc face by supposing nil
the exigencies that majyndseC- Snpposk--:-a
pro-slavery Constitution is formed, not stib ‘
mitted to the people for ; tificatidn or i ejec
tion, presented to Congress, accepted, and
Kansas admitted into tlm Union as t slave
State, of com scull will be light ami sytis
faetoiy v But suppose rl tt tmdei this state
of facts the Constitution ~f Kansas should
bo rejected l.y Congress w hat then i ‘ Why
one of the planks put iu the Georgia plat
form hy our Const!.utinual Union friends will
‘have liven broken and we shall see what we
shall see. Suppose again that the Constitu
tional Convention should submit the Consti
tution .(pro-slaveryJ to the people and it
should In) ratified by them nnd accepted .by
Congress, of course ail would he right again.
But suppose llm; it should he submitted nnd
rejected what is to he done then ? Now we
do not intend tn.cuter into nny lengtldy dis
cussion of this nuttier, hut there does seem to
us to be no jtrimijd* in red red whatever
[against us in this matter.
If there he a large majority nt fi *e-State
men in Kansas (a fact that all seem to admit)
have they not the same right ill prbhtfjtte to!
reject tlm Constitution beltue. submit
ted to Congress, that they have 16 meet ami i
fc-chango it afterward I The principle is . pre
! cisely the same, and the pou-rr is the same, ;
and as to the question, of poliey. as Southern
men, as known Sowthtrn Hights men, >vo
unhesitatingly say that we would infinitely
j prefer that Kansas should be made a free :
! State in the beginning, if free State she must
Lie, rather than become so afterwards by al
• teratioii of-her Constitution. These senti
ments may not suit some especially
j those, who within the last few months hive
, become so sensitive upon the subject of Sou
i them rights, but they are the honest convic
t lions of- our judgment, and as such we fear
-1 lessly avow tlieth to the world. It is much
1 easier to break down this government,than (0
, build another and a better in its stead.and we
call upon all men of all parties to think bc

Boundaries Between Nations.
In an opinion published in the Monthly
Law Reporter, for August, Contained ill a
letter from Caleb Cushing, Attorney Gener
al, to Mr McClelland, late Secretary of the
Interior, it is held, tltot when a river is the
boundary between two nations its natural chan
nel continues to he the boundary,notwithstan
'ifitfg any change of its course by gradual ac
cretion or decretion of either batik; but if tho
course he changed abruptly iny> a‘ fijtw bed
iby irruption or avulsion, then the
river bed becomes the boundary.
A> for the administration, we shall he slow
to believe That it w ill embark upon any line
of conduct niilitatiug against the constitution
al rights of the South. We have great faith
in the devotion of James Buchanan to our
constitutional rights. lie lias hegn often tri
ed and as often’proved true. Tbe people of
Arkansas, esp*-cialv, should be slow to cen
suio him. When Arkansas applied for admis
sion into the Union with a pro-slavery consti
tat on, he stood by her and was her chief sup
porter and advocate in the Senate of the Uni
ted States.
A little while, after a few more develop-
we shall be able to see our way
more deafly, and if lie shall be found to have
been faithless to tlie Kansas act and tbe con
stitutional lights nf tlie South, we shall be
ready to place our paper in opposition to tho
administration. If .James Buchanan shall
prove a faithless traitor, as charged by some
democratic journals, our faith in politicians
will he forever, hereafter, very much weaken
ed. If he proves recreant, in the face of all
the pledges he ha. 4 given and the sound rec
; orcl he possesses in whom can we hereafter

Description of the Stream
The general description of the Guff stream,
apart from any present I ' question as to its
sources, is that nf a vast and rapid ocean cur
rent,- issuing from the basin of tbe Mexican
Guif C-irabean Sda ,donW+ng tlic>ontheru
capo of Florida, pressing forward to the
Nort..-cash, in a line almost parallel; to tlie
American coast; touchflig on tlie. southern
borders f the bank of Newfoundland, and
and at some seasons partially passing over
them; thence with increasing width and
i confusion traversing tlie whole breadth of
the Atlantic, with a central direction to
wards the British Isles; and finally losing
itself by still wider diffusion in the Bay of
Biscay, on our own shores, and on the long
line of the Norwegian coast. Its identity in
physical characters is preserved throughout
the many thousand miles of its continuous
flow; the only change undergone is that of
degree. As its waters gradually commingle
with those of the sunoiunli ig sea, their deep
blue tint ‘declines, their high temperature di
minishes, anil the speed with which they
press forward abates. Kit, tak.i g the stream
hi its total course, it wtdi warrants Urn vivid

I bestows upon it, ot ‘a river tn the ocean.’

tinuous in its Course, and so strangely detatch

: „#nr it has gained a
‘‘ve miles, its velocity is
reduced miles, on parallel of the
Newfoundland banka, if is furtlier reduced
to one and a halt miles an hour, and this
gradual abetment of fo ( rcc'is continued across
the -'vtlaiiMc. The temperature of the cur*
rent undergoes a similar change. The high
est observed is about 85°, for Between Cape
Ilatteras and Newfoundland,though lessened
in amount, the warmth of the stream in win
ter is still 25° 0r33 3 above that of the ocean
through which it Hows; Nor is this heat
wholly lost whjju it reaches and is spread
lover the coasts of northern Europe. The
waters thus constantly flowing to us from tlie
tropical regions, biiiig warmth as well as
abundant moisture to our islands j and Ire
land, especially, upon which tlicy more di
recly infringe, doubtlcs derives much of its
poculiinijy of climate, its moisture, its ver
dure,and abundant vegetation from this source.
But t lie influence of the Gulf stream does not
stop even here. Tho climate it said to
convey isdiftused over the whole Norwegian
coast, the aspects and produce of which sin

ing latitudes in North America, Greenland
aud Siberia, Other causes, doubtless, con
tribute to this effect none, wo apprehend, so
largely or unceasingly.— Edinburg Review.
