the Eutaw battleground.
A ride of an hour and a half car tied ua

Mala were reeled. 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.

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

How to Got Rid of A Duel.
Among the various mortifying tliaquali- 1
alions under which the Irish Catholics la- ^
tored, previously to the passage of the (
Emancipation Bill, the Disarming Act, pro- f
libiting them from having iu their posses- i
ion any offensive or defensive weapons, ap- t
teats to have been not the least galling to
iur Hibernian fellow subjects; inasmuch as |
t debarred them in many instances, in cases (
f real or supposed aggrievance, from that
Termer rtsort, which the natives of the
Emerald Isle" have preferred, from time (
inineinorial, to llio more dilatory as well |
a uncertain redress offered by a court of (
iw. An uugenerous or timid adversary. (
ispccially if a member of the Government (
hurch, might (as lias been more than once (
he case) evade a hostile meeting with a ;
Papist, on the ground of the abovomenioned
disqualification.
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. Flynn, a respectable Catholic hatter,
vas, or supposed himself, grievously insult
id by Mr. l'nttick Dooliltlu, a tailor, of the
Established Church, residing in tho same
own. Having in vain endeavored to ub
ain satisfaction (iu the national and cur'ent
sense of the word,) and being gi*en.
Moreover, to understand that the orthodox
ailor magnaniniou-dy declined giving him
lie meeting, for no other reason than, lest
L?y so doing he should be llio proximate
muse of subjecting Kiynn to the pena'ties
II such case made and provided, the spiri
Led halter resolved on changing his teligion,
oro tentjtore, and actually read Ins public
recantation, during morning service, in
Mallow c'Kirch. There, as fa'.e would have
it, Mr. Dooliltle chanced to he present, and
?>eat was his astonishment and consternation
at the unexpected, unhoped for con
version of his mortal foo to the Hue faith!
Had it taken place in St. Stephen's Chapel,
lie would doubtless have deprecated, in
parliamentary language, the "indecent
baste," Ac., with which Flynn had deserted
his parly. Ilowbeit, the tailor saw and acknowledged
the necessity of takiug immediate
measures te avoid bloodshed, lie

mid touk sanctuary in the Roman Catholic
chapel which stands in the sumo street.
There, having openly professed himself an
unworthy member of the Church of Rome,
ho was cordially received, and initiated by
baptism and other usual ceremonies.
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.
A slight nominal [Hsnauce sufficed to reconcile
linn to the placable church which he
had deserted; certainly through interested,
hut by no means through mercenary, motives.
lie lamented his backsliding in due
form; and renounced the damnable hetesicto
which, in an unguarded moment, he had
subscribed; all this onec more in the pre*
ence of the tailor, who now began to lie
convinced that no points of doctrine, however
tough and knotty, had strength to
bind over his Protean antagonist to tinpeace.
Nothing, ho could clearly see, was 1
left him in this emergency, hut to break
'over again, and seek lefuge in the bosom
. f his mother church; ami this he effected
with all imaginable speeo; sending, at tin
nine lime, a notification to tho angry hatler,
that their opinions on religious matters
were so diametrically and iircconciltahlt
opposite, that his conscience would not pet !
nit him, Dooliule, to retain any iaith what- '
?ver that might at . ny time he embraced i
;?y so bloodthirsty and unchristian an adversary
as Flynu.
