i vessels containing it being pitched, is ' i admired by thore who drink it, even aa, in the United Staler, the peculiar flavor imparted to wine by alcohol and cane sugar is esteemed, or as we find sea water, rosin, pine-leaves, cypress, myrtle berries, bitter almonds, tar, spike- j nard, myrrh and matiy<oiher ingredients i mixed np with their wine by the an- ' cienta. It should be Ihe earnest endear- 1 roar of every one who attempts to make it pare. The addition of cane sugar j and alcohol ia a frond. It is not, (says j Mr. Flagg.in the Wine Press,) by mash- j ing np sour, wild, or nnripe, grapes j with nater, sugar and whisky, that our (farmers are to become wine growcra, however well the mixture may please ' the palatea of women and children. | Tell them that gord wine ia nercr made i of sngar in any part of the world, and j that to weaken with water or strengthen j | with spirits is downright * ickediicsa. j The grapes mail' always be fully ripe, ! and to render tbeai go, the vines must grow on stakes or very iow trellises. The expressed juice must then be put into clean ■ "wine green" casks, und cared' for very much iq the tam«»t way that good cider ia cnredfftr^ Tltfs done faithfully, and the product tn'W be wike . and nothing else, "wink to gladden the . heart-" Good wine makes good bload, ! and blcasrd will be the day when a sec- . ondf Peter the wine 4Nkker shall arise to , preach a wins aid agarm* the cause oy intemperance in its worst from — Whisky I The tumoral sugar iu grapes amounts to from 18 to 30 per cent of the jnice, j and 198 of grape sugur givce fig alcohol; tin brief we way consider them as 2 to 1. According to this, Freneh and German grapes give, when analyzed, as a maximum, frotn T to 15 per cent of alcohol by weight. Here then we have our i sugar and alcohol, why then Insist i on pondering to depraved tastes by i pouring in whisky and adding cone ; The difluft-nce between canesugar and grape sugar, is such that it never be made to thoroughly combine, and the cane sugar con alwaya be tutted. Again, the alcohol in wine combined iu the natural way, when ■ drank in that state, is not productive of those complaints of the liver, and similar diseases, which arise from drinking • iues in which the spirit is foreign. — ia a remarkable fact The union < of the alcohol mingled with the other in- i gradients of the wine by artificial means, ia never perfect, and is, beyond calcuia- i lion; more pernicious than the strongest i natural product. From the high atatc , of stimulus iu which the stomach Is kept i adulterated wines, by alcohol in tha form of doctored brandy, and by whia- i comes so much of the minery of in- ^ digestion in this country, and its terriconsequences. In ail conntrtes. where wine la plentiful and chcop, druukenneaa It almost unknown ; where ia most expensive, thut vice is at it* maximum. Wine tusking, (saya a late writer) ia one of the simplest operations of nature. Yocx*P- crush the Juiee from a ( bunch of grapea with your hands, put ' it halo a bottle, tie a piece of cloth over the lop, ond it converts itself into wine ' without further human assistance. Let 1 us now •»» what has caused the change! ' Pure grape Juice con'nins sugar: icr- jj 'mentation simply converts the whole, or n portion of this sugar into alcohol. — When this conversion ia eoofpletcd, the fluid in the bottle ia no longer grape juiee but wine ! It is surprising indeed to think how many ignorant and eredulons people there are who set their faces ngainat, and ;r»ll pot believe this simple but beautiful' miracle ! Let ui add *bo, that when you a; ply a gentle heat to the wine so made, the spirituous part trap orates* and whue col keeled ia a proper veaael. ia Broody. . Upon the quantity «f sWp.r in the grape jalec depends the MrtngtA of the wine. Some gropes have l>pt * mal)'

i quantity of stfgmr, and therefore It Is a common custom to add canc sugar, eilh- ' cr white or brown, to the must, to make I the wine strong enough to keep: or» I sometimes, which is still wort*, brandy or whisky is added, either before or afj ter fermentation. But wc caunot do u i j greater service to our native wine mai kers, than by pointing out to iKctn. that | the addition of augar, spirits, or other ! factitious substance to tLc must or wine, | is an evil of the first magnitude. The ; ' great difficulty which lli« native wine maker perceives is this: "If I do not i add sugar or spirits to my wii.e, it will not keep. This is true, and now lot us sec the reason for it. So upon as the must has undergone the vinous feruieulation, it i pastes rapidly to the acctious fermentation i>- xxroeco to the sir. In other words, if, after you have squecsed your bunch of grapes, and made your bottle of wine, you do not rork it up, you will soon have a bottle of vinegar. But if ^ you do cork St op, the wiue will keyp for many years. The same rule holds ! good with wine in larger quantities.! "if your co^ka are not full, your wine j will soou turn sour Therefore, when 1 your «iue is racked off, see that every : cask is fall, and kept full. When a large quantt y is made, this is an easy matter, for the main oosks can he filled from time t6 time from smaller ones; but when { the quantity is small th^hest way is to < supply the Wasting by; adding clean washed pebbles, or cleiifi grovel stones 1 so as to raise the • ine to tha bung. Be sure nud (urn the bung on one side, so j that the wine will cover it. The only i way to keep pure wine sound it to excliidc the atmosphere. i , Within the limits of an address, in- | . tended only to awaken your nijention to J < the culture of the Wine Urupc, tha mak I ing of wines would occupy more lime than your patience would be willing to give ; all that can be dono therefore is ' to rreotumend to your attention a , aeries of articles published in the Wine | , Press of New York, In the numbers for j | March, April, and May of this year. Mr. Buchanan of Cincinnati's work I on The Culture of the Grope, and Wine : Making, may be refered to as the best!1 work as yet before na, but the fault of 1 his essay in Wine Making ia its brevity. • In 1he wide cultivation of tbe Winu j | Grape thut most Borne dny arise here. , the necessity of bottling the wine after 1 , j its second or third year in tbe cask, will j add a new impetus to the glass fuclorics 1 1 around you, an advantage you possess ! over many other portions o! the coun- j try. If wo look for an instant around us, wc ! can but see the advantage to be gained by , Notice turning our attention towards V ino maki ig. In 1857, over 8.000,000 gallons or wine and brandy were imported by the Cnited States, and we believe it its within limit* to say 100, 000.000 gallons of whisky, in different forms, was consumed by nt during that year, although it was after tha Presidential election ! Agniost this fearful amount of whisky, bow moch wjne did we J make T According to tha Ceosus of 1S50 j we then made 221.249 gallons of wine, of 1 which GaliCorni-i was tha producer of over one fourth, namely 58.055 gallons. Ohio come next, theH1 rennsylvania, then Indianna, then Missouri, and last Florida, with jast ten gallons. W« have not advanced very last, considering that from tha very b^iuuing of tbe settlament of this conn try, the ideas of establishing vineyards was reflected over by the colonist. -In Florida (with. iU ten gallon crop) and Pennsylvania vines were planted at an early dale, and io the records of the .Massachusetts Bay Co., in the year IW9, in ihd list of re qoisitiono to be sent over from the eld contry, we find wanted "men skiHul in making of pitch, and of aalt, nod vine planters.'' Also in 16S4 ih* yearly rent of Governors Island, ia Boston harbor, wan a ho gab sad of win*, and tha land itself was granted to Gov. WHitbrop.in 1632, on eondilioo that be should plant a vineyard or orchard there. California is awakening to wine making In the State Begi>4tr for 1859. wo find that thejire.enl stock cf viae* whets me-

l.rad, exclusive o£.the proceeds <MMd < from the sale of the grape, and the nana, factum of brandy, will yield ton million dol- . , lars worth of wine a year. ; One viueyar^rie'ClU^hrniK at Loa An . gvloe. in 1858; had 1^5 ocrt-s -»f- vines In U oifo field ; khe number ofN bearing-^ vines j I 55/IO0.

As will be remarked, it Is in our summer 1 1 and winter that the greatest degree of dif- ' . fen-nee existt with parallel latitudes in Eu- ' rope, and it must be our endeavor tln-refore to lino vines that era sufficiently strong and > I hardy to endutv the extremes of heal and j cold. It is very difficult to give significant < statistics for tbe vine districts of the Uui- | led Slates, adds Blodgett, since localities of particularly favorable exposure may. I with tho exercise of great care, produce fine grapes iu the open air, alrno I ai lar j north as corn will grow. | Many of tho Hungarian wino grapes arc • i vary hardy, and as the frail U tweet, indi- 1 : coles a plant that could bo gruwn with us i | to great advantage. Catlings from these vines from imported stock con be found iu t New York. Tedro Kimeues and the Mas- I oat Grape make Bhcrry wino. Ri>s<ling. Ktionbcrger, and u small variety of tbe Orleans grapo make the best of the Rhine wioe. Donxclbino, Alvarclhav and Sousa: grapes for the host Port wine.

In conclusion, it is to be hoped that your attention will be awakened to the cultivation of the Wine Grape r not iu the feverish spirit which, once elevated the entire community to the belief that thsy woald be Mouu-B-uUicuoliua milliouairvi, but iuto cool headed men, willing to earo an bon ; est recompense for straight forward action, 'lire estimate of th* California Stale, Reg- ' i-tor fur 1859 (before alluded to) shows that ' wins wiakiug in that state is followed to s 1 very large extent, so large that a very few 1 year* will show a yield of wioe. more vola- ' able than its yield of-pold From every side we here well eatbeuticated proofs thsl ; the making of wine pays, and pays well; - that grapes will grow hrro at oar Very • ■
