i Culture of tHc Grape. All well prepared vineyarán are Bret trenched to the depth of two feet, at a cost varying from sixty to one hundred dollars per acre. All the lower loose Btones is then thrown out during the operation of trenching, and is used for oonstruoUng the walte for supporting Ihe terraces into which tho Hill side is necessarily thrown in order to facilitate ctilliva- tiou, aud prevent washing or sliding inconsequence of heavy raius. The ground is then laid oil'into rows for planting—the rows six feet apart, aud the vines three feet apart in the rows. There aresome variations from this, however, but these distances are those usually adopted. It gives two thousand lour hundred and twenty plañís to the aere. It is considered the best policy to plant cuttings at once in the vineyard where they are to remain, instead of roots ; as the great difference En cost la not compensated for by the difference In their time of bearing. A viin* does better that is Buffered to grow where originally planted, taking for granted that the soil has been properly prepared lor its reception. Plant two cuttings in a place in a direction of the slope of the hill; one bud only above ground, the lower ends Borne distance apart, tbe lop ends close1 together, if oue dies, you have one left; if both live, pull up one to supply the vacancy elsewhere. Hoots one year old arc worth twenty-live dollars per thousand. Nothing need be done the first season except tn keep the plants free of weeds aud the ground well stirred ; no standing water should be permitted to gather about the plants. The second year, in January or February, or as much earlier as you please, in fact any trine alter the plants have cast their leaves, cut them back to two good eyes; if both start, break out the weakest, and permit but one to grow ; the plants will need only the saute sort of culture as the Iirst year ; keep ! the soil well stirred and free of weeds. The summer pruning during the second year, consists in shortening or breaking the ends of theíaíe- rals, which grow in the axilla of the leaf.—Do not break them out. merely shorten them by breaking or bending over the ends ofthe lateral. At the commencement ofthe third year, the plants must be cut back to three or lour eyes, in order to ensure the growth of two; after they have fairly started break all olf except the two strongest. The plants must be staked this year as soon as they are pruned, and as they progress, the young shoots must be carefully tied to the stake with bands of rye straw made pliable by soaking. Treat the laterals in summer pruning same as before advised. The fourth year (or first bearing year) the vines are cut back thus ; there being two main shoots or canes grown the past year, one—the lowestdown— is cut back to thres or four eyes—two only being permitted to grow—the other is designed to bear the fruit of this year, and is cut back to about five feet (supposing it ought to have grown beyond that).

Whcr.'the vines get ^o be seven or eight years old, two bearing canes may be retained, besides the little spur which must always be left, in addition to the bearing wood, and as near the ground as possible, to produce the canes for the ensuing year. This method embraces the whole principle of vineyard pruning, as generally adopted ; there are other methods, such as spur pruning, trellis pruning, etc., which arc not, however, very extensively practised. After the vines are pruned aud tied, the next duty is to dig aud loosen the soil of the vineyard; the proper time for this is as soon as the ground has become free from the frosts of winter and the spring rains have ceased and left theAarth in a fit state for gardening.—[Home Journal.

When Stcwpyd ha?nesscs his Uorse fot dragging brick up a grado, the horse's head is pulled back towards his tail, and anchored there hy the senseless and merciless cheek-rein. The arrangement is unnatural; the animal is constrained by it. He must inevitably lose strength by it, for it disturbs the vital force, and induces an unnatural action in the muscles of the neck, head shoulders and month. Who beside the British use the check-rein, saving the Americans ? The French do not use it; the Germans do not; the Indians and Spaniards of S. America, tvho literally live on horse-back and are perfect horsemen, do not; the Spaniards of Europe do not, nor do the Turks. The most observant and most natural people in the world are free from this mischievous error., It is strange to us that the English and ourselves did not, years and years ago, reason upon the constantly witnessed fact that when a check-rein was loosed at a tavern stoop or stable, the poor horse always stretched out his neck and hung down his bead. That was his language for saying that the strap hurt him and wearied him, and that he was heartily glad to be relieved from it. The check-rein should be abolished. It wastes motive power. Its use is unhealthy, for it disturbs tlie otherwise naturally and equally distributed ■vital forces. It shortens the life of the horse. It diminishes his speed, and lessens the free and quick actiou so essential to the animal's safety and that of the driver. It is of no use, and cannot confer dignity or grace to an animal that was made by the Lord. Had man got up the horse, check-reins and all sorts of coutrivauces would have been not only allowable, but perhaps necessary; but the work of the Greek Artist cannot be improved upon.— ¿Búllalo Democrat j£$r~ California Wine.—We have recently made inquiries to ascertain the quantity of wine there is here, the produce of our own vineyards iu this city and vicinity, It is estimated by those conversant with our wine product, that not less than 30,000 gallons of wine of an excellent quality is now on hand, a considerabls portion of which is awaiting a purchaser, By the following notice frpm the California Parmer our readers will perceive that considerable inquiry ia made for wine of our home manufacture—the pure juice ofthe grape. • "California Wine Wasted.—We invite wine growers to send us their samples, and a statement of the quantity they have marte,'with all the data appertaining to it.

We are indebted to a Mercantile HoustS In this city for the following translation, made in St. Re tersburg. of the official account of .th« death of Nicholas. It differs in some particulars from tin account published in the English papers, and is of course, more reliable.—[Boston Journal. The last moments of the Fmperor Nicholas I, of Russia, of blessed memory. On the 27th of January (February 8, N. .S.) the Emperor was taken ill with influenza, but continued to occupy himself as usual with the affairs of the State. A few days after, namely, on thejiinth of February, (21st n. s.,) he'felt himself somewhat better, and, contrary to the advice of his dpctors, (Jlandtand Carell) after having been present'it the celebration of Divine Service at the palae< ■ m M-ch. went out to tho paradeAotrse cHhe Enrgfheer corps'* to inspect the battalions of the Ismailaiiblly Regiment and the Regiment of sharpshooters, which were preparing to march off. " Your Majesty," said Dr. Carell to him, "there is nota doctor in the whole of your army who would allow the meanest of your soldiers to leave the hospital in such state as your majesty is in, and with such a frost (23 dog. Reaumur—equal to 20 deg. below zero of Farenheit) it is my duty to require that your majesty should not ieave your room.'-' " You have done your duty/' answered the Emperor, "let me do mine." At one o'clock, the Emperor went to the parade-house, without even taking the precaution of dressing himself a little warmer, contrary to the advice of the Hereditary Grand Duke Alexander, and the request ofhis immediate attendants. After the inspection of the soldiers. His Majesty went to see the Grand Duchess Helen Pavlovna, widow of his late trother the Grand Duke Michael, and from her palace to the Minister of War, who was then unwell; on returning he felt himself worse than on the day before. The cough and the difficulty of breathing, which had trouble/! him for some days previously, now increased. His Majesty passed the night without sleep, but the next day (the 10th February, 22d n. s.) he went again to the same parade-house to inspect the reserve batalious of the Semenoffsky and Presbrajensky regiments, the men of the reserve half battalion of sappers. From this day all the symptoms of his malady became more severe, and the Emperor did not leave his room. On the 11th, (23d n. s.) he intended to be present at Divine Service at the church, but was unable and was obliged to take to his bed. In the evening the disease appeared evidently oppressive, and dangerous symptoms began to manifest themselves with incredible rapidity. Notwithstanding his illness, the Emperor did not cease to occupy himself with State affairs, and only on the 1.2th. (24th n. s.,) in consequence of his medical advis ers insisting upon it, did he consent to leave business to the Cezarovitch (Alexander.) When the danger was considered imminent, Her Majesty the Empress, with painful heart, decided to propose to her august husband to partake of the Sacrament. It must be observed, that in the first week of the fast the Emperor had begun to attend the usual devotional services of Lent, and from Monday till Thursday inclusive, was daily atDivine Service in the church, but several times complaining of his indifferent health, expressed doubts whether he would be able to complelL'tlns Christian duty; however, notwithstanding his weakness, hy never would sit during the service, although he was urged todo so by the officiating ministei^ t. The Empress embracing this opportunity, sail to him, " as you have not been able to complete tlje duty of confession and to partake of the sacrament, in tiie first week (of Lent,) would you not like tp do it now, for although the state of your health is by no means dangerous, it might be well, as there have been many instances where the partaking of the Holy Sacrament has, by God's blessing, atlbrded relief to the sufferers." " No,-" said he,-f' I dannot perform this holy duty in bed, undressed as I am ; no, 1 shall do it later on, when I am strong enough to do it properly." The Empress was silent, but perceiving tears in her eyes he said: "You are crying?" '-No, this is from the cold in my head." A tew minutes later, the Empress began quietly to recite the Lord's prayer. "You are praying? Why so?" :%1 am praying for your recovery. ' " Am I in danger then?" "No ." Her Majesty had not fortitude to answer affirmatively. "But you are in great anxiety, you are tired, go and rest yourself." The Empress then withdrew/ About 3 o'clock (A. M.) Flis Majesty said to Dr. Mandt: "Tell me candidly what my illness is: you kn«w I have already commanded you to apprise me in good time, if my illness should happen to be serious, in order that I might not omit the performance of my last christian duties.'' " I cannot conceal from your Majesty, that the disease €k assuming a serious aspect. Your right lung is attacked." " You mean to say that there is danger of it's being paralyzed?'-' " If the disease does not yield to our efforts, this mny take place; but as yet we do not see any appearance of it, and do not lose hopes of your recovery." " Ah ! now I understand my position ; I know what I have to do." After dismissing the Doctor, he called in the heir apparent, and quietly communicated to him his hopeless state, adding—"! hope you have not yet said anything to your mother, and will not do sojust yet; let my confessor be called in." The Rev.- Mr. Bo- janoff was already at the palace. The Empress came into the room. While the reverend father was reading the prayers preparatory to confession, the Emperor blessed the Empress, aud the Cezarovitch, who knelt by bis bed. After that they left the room.' Having performed tiicduíy of confession he crossed himself, saying : "I pray to the Lord to receive me into his embrace." Then he partook of thcHoljj, Sacrament (which at his desire was performed h._ the presence of Her Imperial Majesty and the Cezarovitch) with perfect presence of mind, andaftec-. ting devotion and extraordinary calmness ; repeated the prayer beginning / believe and confess (a somewhat'lengthy one,) from beginning to end in a firm voice. He"then called in the Grand Duchess, Czavena, wife of Alexander, the Grand Duke Con- stantine, and his wife the Grand Duchess Alexao? dra Jossifovna ; the Grand Duchess Mary Nicola?; na, his eldest daughter, widow of the late Duke ;li. Leuch^enberg, and Helen Palovna, widow of h late brother Michael, and his grand children, whv all passed the night without sleep in the adjoininf rooms. He informed them ofhis approaching dite ease with firmness, took leave of, and blessed the^s all. The words pronounced by him in these sacred and solemn moments, will be forever impressed in the hearts of the bereaved family. The Empress exclaimed: "My God! Why cannot 1 die with thee !" His Majesty replied : " Thou must live for them," and turning to the heir apparent, he said : "You know that all my ct res, all my efforts were directed to the good of Russia; my desire las been to continue these efforts, in order to leave the empire to you in a prosperous state, safely guarded from danger without perfectly quiet and happy within ; but you see at what time and under what circumstances I die—such is the will of God. It will be hard for you." The grand duke heir apparent. drowned in tears, replied: "If it is decreed thai I should lose you, I am sure you will even then pray to God for Russia, for us all ; implore his holy assistance for me to bear this heavy burden, laid upon me by Himself." " Yes, I always prayed for Russia and for you all. I shall pray to Him then, and you," continued he, (addressing himself to the au- itg to the Empress, "remain as you always have been hitherto, in the close 'bonds of family affection," The Emperor then command*ed Count Adlerberg, (master ofthe household.) Count Orioff, (head of tiie Corps of Gendarmes.) and Prince Dolgorovkay, (minister of war.) to be called in; thanked them in touching terms for their services, for their tried devotedness, and recommended them to the heir apparent, blessed them and took leave of them : and then addressing himself once more to the Czarovitch and to Count Adlerberg, gave his last orders respecting his funeral, named the room in the lower story of the winter palace whore his mortal remains were to lie in state, mentioned tho place in the Peter and Paul's church (in the fortress) for his grave, requested' that the funeral should be performed with as little show as possible, without any pompous catafalque, or any grand decorations in the rooms or church, in order to avoid un necessary expense. Lastly he ordered his immediate attendants to bo called in, thanked them, and blessing thorn', bade them farewell. m. . h Tha dying Emperor retained perfect presence of | mind when tlie Reverend father began toread the commendatory prayers, and repeated thesame after him, with feeble voice, but with calmness. His voice soon failed. He made a sign to the confessor to approach, pressed his hand, kissed tho cross on his breast, and being unable to utter a word, made a motion to him with his hand and eyes towards the Empress and heir apparent, as if asking him to pray for them. Until the last moment, he did not leave their hand, but firmly grasped them ftil the time. At twenty /ninnies past twelve, P. M., Friday, February 1*8 (March 2d,) the Sovereign who, for nearly 30 years, embellished the throneof Russia, who possessed in the highest degree the feeling of bis sacred duties, and indefatigably exerted himself with completa self-abnegation f'or the good ofhis country—was no more. .St. Peteiisisurg, Feb. 23 (7th March,) 1855. * Formerly Paul's Palaee.

Pausing a moment to look at the old man. we noticed a little girl, (God bless her'!) anxiously watching his movements, and evidently desiring to do something to nssit him. She might have seen 14 winters,—was richly dressed, with a pretty face. and an eye full of meaning expression of the soul, —and with books in hand, was probably on her way to school. The little Samaritan did not long remain inactive. Approaching a gentleman, aha inquired, with faltering tongue, while a tear was seen on her faif cheek: " Is the old gentleman sick or intoxicated!" "Drunk, I guess," was the heartless- reply.—at whrcli, with the soul of a hero; this little angel of mercy approached the old man, and after a moment's conversation, ¡he two wore seen wending their wtiy along the street, the little girl supporting the tottering form of hhn whom l*Qe tyD ■■,:-■■■ iv.-i! had li.'ft Üfl flis fate.

Scott's Opinion of California Climate mul Prospects. Wé 0nd the following in an eastern exchange, and, coming from so high authority, we cannot better subserve California than by giving it wings and spreading it abroad again to bring more: citizens to our State. The picture is so true—however dark thepresent, the future is full of hope : [Cal. Farmer. 1. This State is in a very depressed condition at present. The emigration to it is greatly diminished ; but the emigrants now are chiefly those that come to stay. A large proporfion are women and children, and returning Californians, who find that they cannot be content to remain in their old homes beyond the mountains. 1 The present depressed state of business may continue for a year or so ; but better things are before us. Improved facilities for communication with the older States, by an inland road, and by propellers, will aid the settlement rrt the Pacific shore. A vast population is to live oiv this side of the continent,- Yoü may depend upon a glorious future Hit this whole coats! 3. The climate is more salubrious and delightful than any other part ofthe continent. The lands are bettor aud more productive than any in the West. There is no such climate, and there are no such lands anywhere East of the Rocky Mountains. I speak advisedly. I have seen with my own eyes a considerable portion of the State. I have tried its climate in tbe valleys, on the mountains, and on the sea beach ; and I have some knowledge, by experience, of other continents, and I have no hesitation in saying, that I believe the climate of California better tban any one on the Mediterranean, and its soils as fertile as the best spots of Egypt. 4. In a commercial point of view, and as a base from which to operate on all the islauds and nations beyond, there is no need for me to say a word. It3 importance in this way is second to noothcr onfh« globe. 5. As £o the gold giving oni . íheís are too signs yet. The exports are increasing rather than diminishing. It will not be exhausted in our generation, ar.d probably not before, the end of the' world. The surface mining, creek washing, cayot- ing, placer digging and the like operations, may become somewhat exhausted ; but the qnartz mining, which will propabiy be the most productive in the end, has not yet gotten into successful operation. The quicksilver mines and mineral springs, the shipping interests connected with our whalers, and the internal and coast trade, are of themselves sufficient to make this one of the best States in the American Union. Nor is there any reason, that I can sec why this should not become a great manufacturing State. Water facilities can be had. The climate is favorable, neither too cold nor too hot for mechanical work. Hero our wares and "notions" can be sent to the Orient before' London and New York can get round the Cape or' the Horn. But I must forbear for the present. Ilromeilnry Overland Din 1 I.Mr. William N. Walton has sent a msmrorial into the State Senate, proposing as follows : That the State Legislature of California shall.by legislative act, donate in fee simple to five undersigned, all the right, title and interest of thy State in and to certain quarier sections? of land, (situate between the eastern boundary oi' the State and the Pacific Coast, as stations, for the encouragement of an overland immigration by means Of osimele and dromedarii s.

Sec. "10.—At the first session ofthe Legislatures of the States of Colorado and Shasta, provision shall be made by law to create a sinking fund, to pay the principal and interest accruing on the bpnds of the State issued to pay her proportion of the debt ofthe State of California. Your memorialist would inform your honorable body that a similar requisition to the above will be presented to the State Legislature of Texas, asking the sam'e donation.-not so much lor the value ofthe lands donated, as to give aa implied expression oí opinion on this all-important subject. The general government will doubtless donate to the undcr: signed the necessary quarter sections (for stations) in the Territory of New Mexico, From statistical facts, it is with pride your memorialist informs your honorable body, that by donating this land, and thereby expressing an implied endorsement of the people of California to his enterprise, he will be enabled (by the aid of capital placed at his disposal fo;1 the prosecution of his project,) within a very few months, to place a train of dromedaries on the south', rn route, that will make the distance from Texas or New Orleans, to the Gila river, thence to San Diego or Los Angeles, in from eight to ten days, au almost in- crediMe short time, but nevertheless true. Your memorialist has unquestionable authority, that the despatches are constauity forwarded from Cairo and Alexandria in Egypt, to Mecca iu Arabia, a distance of near eight hundred miles, in lour days by one of these animals, thence to Aden, (whose gull forms its estuary in the Indian Ocean.) a distance of near six hunhred miles, in 60 hours. These racts arc given to show the entire practica- nilityofthe enterprise. So soon as this enterprise is commenced, the commercial and other intelligence from India and China, wili be anticipated iu our own and the European monetary and commercial world by at least. twenty days.

Culture of tHc Grape.
All well prepared vineyarán are Bret trenched to
the depth of two feet, at a cost varying from sixty
to one hundred dollars per acre. All the lower
loose Btones is then thrown out during the operation
of trenching, and is used for oonstruoUng the walte
for supporting Ihe terraces into which tho Hill side
is necessarily thrown in order to facilitate ctilliva-
tiou, aud prevent washing or sliding inconsequence
of heavy raius. The ground is then laid oil'into
rows for planting—the rows six feet apart, aud the
vines three feet apart in the rows. There aresome
variations from this, however, but these distances
are those usually adopted. It gives two thousand
lour hundred and twenty plañís to the aere. It is
considered the best policy to plant cuttings at once
in the vineyard where they are to remain, instead
of roots ; as the great difference En cost la not compensated for by the difference In their time of bearing. A viin* does better that is Buffered to grow
where originally planted, taking for granted that
the soil has been properly prepared lor its reception.
Plant two cuttings in a place in a direction of the
slope of the hill; one bud only above ground, the
lower ends Borne distance apart, tbe lop ends close1
together, if oue dies, you have one left; if both live,
pull up one to supply the vacancy elsewhere. Hoots
one year old arc worth twenty-live dollars per thousand.
Nothing need be done the first season except tn
keep the plants free of weeds aud the ground well
stirred ; no standing water should be permitted to
gather about the plants.
The second year, in January or February, or as
much earlier as you please, in fact any trine alter
the plants have cast their leaves, cut them back to
two good eyes; if both start, break out the weakest,
and permit but one to grow ; the plants will need
only the saute sort of culture as the Iirst year ; keep !
the soil well stirred and free of weeds.
The summer pruning during the second year, consists in shortening or breaking the ends of theíaíe-
rals, which grow in the axilla of the leaf.—Do not
break them out. merely shorten them by breaking or
bending over the ends ofthe lateral.
At the commencement ofthe third year, the plants
must be cut back to three or lour eyes, in order to
ensure the growth of two; after they have fairly
started break all olf except the two strongest. The
plants must be staked this year as soon as they are
pruned, and as they progress, the young shoots must
be carefully tied to the stake with bands of rye
straw made pliable by soaking. Treat the laterals
in summer pruning same as before advised.
The fourth year (or first bearing year) the vines
are cut back thus ; there being two main shoots or
canes grown the past year, one—the lowestdown—
is cut back to thres or four eyes—two only being
permitted to grow—the other is designed to bear
the fruit of this year, and is cut back to about five
feet (supposing it ought to have grown beyond that).
