Editoiih: < >n the morning of : ,l the 7th, my friend and 1 miglil have been ?er? found making our way, upon horseback, to the Eutaw battleground. A ride of an hour and a half car tied ua "u to tho field upon which the American army .ore encamped the night before and after the ,1,s battle. It is a field most admirably adapted *'c* by nature for an encampment ? presenting |ore much the appearance of the enclosed por "IUI lion of tho letter C, sloping gradually from 'e's the centre to all sides; a deep ravine, cover0 0 ed with a thicket, renders it inaccessible to low cavalrr.

We wore surmised to r n find that already some ih<ee or four hundred "d. had assembled, with vehicles of every des'his criplion, from the stalely conch to the "one- j the horse cart," scattered promiscuously around eld the encampment. The En taw Riflemen t of were under drill. This is a company which ! hoy dates its otigin only a year back; it is oress ganized of citizens of St. James' ^oose ihv- Creek Parish,for the purpose of celebrating >oir annually the battle of the Eutuws?a laud.i on, bio object, which has eulisled in its behalf teir the sympathies of tho adjoining Parishes, >ro- and which should place them under the ?m- special patronage of the entire State.

After a short respite from the fatigues of the field, the orator of the day, Lieutenant McConner, was preiented, who entertained us, In a most delight* ? ful manner, for an hour. From the many , inrcunoslances which a subject of the kind j naturally presents, he made the happiest 1 reflections, and treated them in a masterly * manner. In the composition of his speech. ' which was terse and eloquent, he evinced ? much research, and iu the delivery much capacity. In his conclusion, he was truly sloquent. When the applause which fob ? lowed had subsided, all were invited to . partake of refreshments, which stood pre pared in a neighboring grove. I A barbecue was there given, convenient Arrangements for which had been tuade by 0 gentlemen of St. John's Parish, who spared ? neither pains norVioney. The table form- j I'd three sides of a square, furnished with ^ Implements for six hundred and food for two thousand. Everything that could have , been expected, and even more, was furnished in profusion. More eyes than one sparkled from a high pressure of the "Old be joyful." Several toasts were then read, one o! which drew out the lion. Win. Porcher Miles in a short but racy speech. Charleston may well be proud of such a son. His career promises to be a brilliant one. A j man unpledged to any measures, who has ( proven himself firm and immovable by out- ( side pressures?for whom party name without piinciple has no charms?these, combined with rare talents, constitute him the man to whom Carolina may well look fo* some brilliant achievements. A toast to j the Charleston bar brought out a member of it in a few very appropiiale remarks. v A subscription was then commenced for ( (he purpose of erecting a monument upon the battle ground. As it was growing late. ^ and we had some distance to rido, we did not remain to see what success was met j with; but, I tliiuk, if there wan some regularly appointed agents to whom remittance* ; might ho made, that a sufficient amount would soon be subscribed. This has been neglected too long, and it is time that the people were fully awakened to its importance. Very respectfully, <fcc., GEORGIAN. 1 Four Holes, Sept. 18, 1857. Grape Culture. Cincinnati. September 7lh, 1857.?As a cultivator of the grape, I tliank you for the great interest you have always taken in tbis now branch of American agticullure; and particularly for the opportunity you now give me for refuting a most erroneous statement, which lately appeared under the editorial head in the Vivvay (Ind.) News, to the effect that "the Cincinnati Horticultural Society had it under consideration to de clare grape culture in the United StalCR a failure," that "the business would prove ru inous to those who attempted it," and that "the only way Mr. Longworth made it re inunorative was by the adulteration of his wines," dtc. I am happy to say to you that thoro is no truth in eilhor of these stale menls. Put of them the editor has since 1 retracted, and part has boen controverted by one of his neighbors, a grape grower in 1 that vicinity, who says that fifteen new vineyirds have been laid out near that town, ' and that the culture of the vine lias ieceived anew impetus. The first attempts were 1 made on the rich frottoui lands of the river, 1 and necessarily failed. The hills ate now 1 selected in preference, and with promise of ' complete success. * That this crop is subject to the casual- 1 ties of other fruit crops cannot he denied, but experience has pioved that it is about I ns ... <L. 1- ? ? - ! ?<a vimi'iQ i*~* me is uur i jir diest fiuit. The average yield for a series 1 of years, in fair localities, and with com ' moti attention, is at least 200 gallons to the acre. In good positions, nnd with extra ! culture, 3U0 gallons. One bundled gallons 1 per acre will inore than pay the cost of cul ' tivalion, and leave something for profit. ' For the last two yea is the crop has la-en ' short in this vicinity, hut in Missouri and * Georgia it is very good this year. So it is ' with most crops, varying with the sea-otis ' in different sections of the country. To my certain knowledge, the grape is * cultivated for making wine, in 18 Stair's of ( the Union, and is rapidly on the increase, 1 especially in the West and South west. The 1 sale of giape vine cuttings in C ncinnali ' alone was over a million ami a half, and of roots 300,000, last year; and about the same the year pievious. This does not look like ' failure. The charge that Mr. Longworlh ii Illiterates his wine is too preposterous to he believed hero or eUewheie. It is not his I interest to <lo no, and certainly not hi* inclination. No man has been more partial lar to keep his wine peifectly pure than * Mr. L. It was his piide and his ho >hy to 1 introduce pine native wines to the Ameri- * :an people; more for the reputation of it than the profit?for he was rich enough x without it. This cultivation has l?een opposed from ' lie til si hy the leaders of the ultra tem- ' iierauce men, whom nothing will salisfv ' . . ? i f jut some political hobby that will carry hem into ollice, like the "Maine Law." 1 llut the good sense of the reasonably tem>erate induces thcin to believe that it is the J jest aid their cause can enlist. The Cincinnati Commercial, of the same late, say?: "It is a fact, of which the eviKnee is of the most convincing character, " hat the grape, for the purpose ot wine linking, is now successfully cultivated in iglileuu of the Stales of the Union, and '| experience is annually deiiioustiating that j 1,1, ,.?a ,.f i....:. l.~.? ?- . . ... ...... ..inkmj klmicii 10 111 e proiiwuue [ uilture of tlit* grape in the United Slates R a larger than had heen heielofote believed. | In this vicinity, we have the positive a*su t ance of gentlemen of character and cxpeii- I, >nce thai it is, to say the least, as remunera t ivo as any other branch of agriciilliue." e [ Cor. oj the Journal of Commerce. v ? m f A Fast Woman.?The ladies are hecoin- ? ng dangerously peifect.

A circumstance of- this kind occurred in j dnllow, county Cork, about the latter end >f the last century, when the apellant demised a whimsical and ingenious experi- uent to evade the law, and put himself on i level with his overscrupulous antagonist, dr.

Mr. Doolittlc, however, had scarcely time to congratulate himself on his escape from tho dreaded duello, when he was disagreeably undeceived by a practical illustration of the proverb, "one good turn deserves a no thcr." The couragous hatter felt indignant at vvhnt he could not hut consider a paltry sub terfuge; ami was not to be put off (like an old beaver) so easily. Ho therefore took an early opportunity of seeking a confer ence with his quondam priest and latherconfessor, who found him a willing convert.
