There is a curious story about some native wipes which are extensively a(ivertised nowa. days. and have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known grape.growcr of Croton Point, died in z87r. Some of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwillin, to allow the stock of wines then on hand to be sold or any more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to market, and sonetimps left to decay upon the vines, It is only now that the other heirs have succeeded in arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Among these is a wine of the vintage of 1864, described as a " Sweet Union Port," but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more than any other European wine, and being wholly 4nlike any pther' wine of American grwh ts purity, age and mellowness are remarkable, and both phyicians and wine, fanciers have .a special interest in it as the oldesr native wvine now accessible in ainy con,. siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the had fthe wvell-knowna wholesale grocery house of the Thurbers.-N. Y. Tiys Nov. 19, J&7, The above speaks for itself, but we would add that this is the pure juice of the grape, neither drugged, lguored nor 'watered; that it has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purposes -it Js unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most of the leading Druggists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on application.

A iGaorgia correspondont of the c Now York Star in giving an account a of Alexander H. Stephens' political career, narrates the following as an evidonce of his pluck The only ro:al fight of Mr. A. H. n Stephens was not strictly a duel, save as it took two to do it. MIr. Stephens, for a little man, has ( always been both plain and loud, and ho opposed the Mexican war steal as strongly as did Tom Cor- 1 win, who hoped the "yellow bellies," as our foes were then elegantly called, would "wt'lcone the in vaders with bloody hands to hospitable graves." Stephens nore oleg untly spoke of the crime to be prosecuted against them as "E ven until The gates of mery shaltl ho all shut up,. And tic Ilssihed soldier, rough and hard of lwart, In liberty of bloody 1andnl shall range Witi Conscicco wvi,Le as hell, iowing like grass 't I''i.r fraon ;.t;r vir ins an.d their bloom. Y in- youth.' Thi:i sort of thing, and his ;peech , on the Clayton comupromaisc of 1848, I as a clinax, made things waru'1 in a that rattier warm and excitable i climate, and Ju.1go Cne, a mtn of n Northern birth, elected to the a judgeship of Georgia, soon Bw lit to denounce im as "a traitor to'J the South" in a public speech. * Stephens said, when he heard of it: a "If he says Ihat to me, I will slap t his face." They izd an Interview' J on the .'siubjet, and t'ie words were ii leied by Judge Cone, and Stephens 1 sid his say. They parted in a t friendly l.anler, but the threat of i Stephens was taken tip by the l ineddlers who foment duels and - never fight them, and the Judge i met the Cong re rsn in in the piazz o C of Tuomnpi,n's H l,Atlant-t, (Ia., i on S.;ptetnber 4, 1SI, with a de- I uiand for 1 etraction. 1 TIIls WAS THE DUEL oROUND, and for tools Mi'r. Cone bad a big a knife, and Mr. Stephels had a 'c umbrella, Mr Cone weighed over I two hundred pounds ; Mr. Stephens ninoty-four pounds only. Upon the refusal to retract by Stephenr, a C Ine attacked him w iii the open t k4il'e. This was parried for some t sconds with the u',brella, although Stopbhens was llelin tg from eu is in cl the breast and arms Then Cane n threw his whole weight on hini, p acnl thus broug:it him (1wn on his r back, With his loft hand on the l1 forehead of his advers.ary, and the p knife in his right, Cone cried out: Ic "Now, you retract, or I will cut : votur throat." The firm reply t was : "No, nnver-nut " ii Jilood was flowing from~ a breast- c wounid received standing, which I< would have reached the heart, but b from a turn ill the blade of the 'e knife, and another stab) on the other' sidie had passed betweon two o ribs, and govered1 an intercostelary artery. So it was not fr'om a sense e of safety on thes big m-m's goner- li csity that h.o defied him. As the I knife camne to finish its work, Mr. o Stephens caught it in his .right " hand, and his loft seized the rig~ht ut elbow of Ji;dge Cane. In this way a the struggle lasted till both par'tins r were on their feet agazin, and othersr had come to the rescue. The right h band of Mr'. Stephens, that had ci seized the knife as it came at his!a throat, was horribly mangled in th.e I turning and twisting of the blade ii in the efforts to get it out of the n grip. The hemorrhage fromi the ai severed artery wvoul haye resulted ei in speedy death, bust for .Lhe fortu- a nate presene of .Dr. Hitchcock, of a the United! $tates Army, whose skill arrated it. Mr. Stephens was confined to his bed 'for several 1 weeks with these wounds, and the right hand was thought to be c: permanentl,y disablod. The ten- i clons of coveral fingers and the n thumb were'severed, and he began di to write with his left hand,: not I lising the ight for twelve months., ai To tise p ermn.ont hurt his terribfyi S bad chirography is now due,o Butt the fight didt hin gbod, for 10,000 iVhigs assembled in' tlanta Li bo give him ai ovatio, and, ;as .w an 3ould not walk to meet thern the h pMhered frQ,r, wi-o-.grass' orgil t it the-South to the Oher'olceladl 'b Li te North: Hie oari~tAge t 1rawn by men top0ftt frn 4horses,e 4M 4;4 ~~I 'Stephens I Stephens I Stephens I" romu the multitude. It was now ottled that THE ONLY WAY TO GE' STEPHENS lown was to lkill him, an4 that is oartly the reason why so few have ricd to du it since. General Case ad been suro of the State by 0,000, but his influence gave it to lenoral Taylor by 2,000. It was fter this that he challenged Goy rnor Herschel V. Johnson for a iscourtesy in debate. The matter ma settlod without fighting but .i the correspondence Mr Stephens iade use of his memorable state-. aont : "No man has any right to sult another like a worldling, and hen to seek a sanctuary like a ',hristian." His controversy with the Hon. 3enjamin H. Hill. the present Sena or from Georgia, was more serious. Ir. Hill was invited to a political arbocuo (or dinner of neat cooked i a pit,) where lir. Stephens and udgo T. W. Thoaras were to do the )euocratic talking. lfr. Stephens egan his speech in his usual tone f iwsolent contempt. Said lie "It tas expected that representative ien of the parties would be in de, ate to-day. I do not say that MR. B. H. HILL, lie Know-Nothing orator, is unable o discuss these great questions 'ith me. I do not say he is afraid to iot no in this discussion. I do Lot say he baclcd out of this adfair. only say that he promised to come, nd that he is not here." This was (ported to Mr. Ifill, who, when nx!f he spoke alone, retorted by ,ying that ho had charged Mr, tUphous at I,exington, and Mr. 'oonbs at Washington village, with having betrayed the Whig party, ud having acted worse towards it ban Judas Iscariot. for, though n i.s b3trayo.i his m-ister, he did of abuse him afterward." Said Ir. Hill : "I thundered this in hair oars, and they cowered under ." The issue was made up, not so Inch oi} whethpr hp said It or not --for he did so later, if not then--, mut upon whother they "cowered" r not. Mr. Stophens wrote his enand for retraction, and Mr. lill wrote about politics, and said o was insensible to any feeling of Q.r. Mr'. Stephens challenged him nd Mr. Hill wrote of the issue, and f family and moral duties, and said o would resist and defend himself attacked. Then Mn. sTEPHENS "PUBLISHED" HIM ; nd that the present good genera, on may know what an awful thing aat was, I copy the hot paragraph "I am compelled by a sense of uty to myself and the publ;c to rake known that by the .oorresv ondence just terminated, add i3 rzlation to it, Mr. Hill has proved imself to me to be not only an im; udent braggart and an unscrupu >us liar, but a despicable poltroon esidos.
