SLgETINQ   OH    THE     CITIZBN.S   AT  ALBCRQUERQUB,
A  large meeting of the citizens of Alhuryin^uc
is held at the  Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Ho-
I on Thursday, December 9th, 1858, Judge W.
F. Boone was called to the chair ; Hon, S. M. Laird
explained the object of the meeting.
The followiug resolutions were adopted :
Whereas, the emigrants to California who pa sed
through this/place last sufmner on the Albuquerque
route were iniereepted and attacked on their way at
the Rio Colorado by the Mohave Indians and robbed of nearly all their property, a portion of them
brutally murdered, the balance being reduced to
the necessity of returning to this place in a starving aud nearly naked condition ; and whereas, it
has proved mis fe and impracticable to pass
through on ?aid route with the'United Statesman
in consequence of the hostility of said Indians:
and whereas, the mail party which recently started
from Alburquerque to Neosho, have also been brutally murdered by the Kiowas and Comanche In-
diaus on the plains ; aud whereas tbe mail party
from Neosho as well as Lieut. Beale have failed
to come through with hie road party and a strong
escort, and are reported to have turned back in
consequence of the hostility ol said Indians; and
whereas, we are Batified that this ie the most practicable and .hortest route for the mail as well as
ra.lroad. aud deem its protection oi paramount
importance; It iy therefore Resolved, Tbat we
aie ol ihe opinion that there ought to be a strong
military post placed without delay on the Colorado of thei Westinthe heart of the Mohave naiioii
uiiincbe and Kiowa country""ch' the Aib'.'ifijUeriVue
and Neosho mail route.
Resolved. That we are of the opinion that these
two posts sufficiently manned will be adequate to
keep said route open and safe for the mail as well
as emigrants, and that the establishment of said
is would be an act of justice due said emigrauts,
the region of country traversed by said route as
welt as to this Terrilory.
Resolved, That we will me all honorable means
n our power to procure, the speedy fstabliebment
of said posts.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the
„.,iSlants who met with the sad misi'ortuno referred to on the Colorado of the West, as well as with
he frieuds of the mail party murdered on their
vay fiom Alburquerque to Neosho.
The United Slates District Court for tbe Second
Judicial District, was organized on the loth ult,
On the 17th the Grand Jury brought in one indictment fbr larceny and two tor niurd> r. On the 18th
one i'or rape, oue for au assault upon au officer and
two for murder. Ou tbe 20ih the Grand Jury returned a true bill against tbe Catholic Priest, Peter
John Mounk-utn for the murder ol Pries! E. M.
Abel, in tbe church at Moro by poisoning. The
Grand Jury having brought into Court several
other indictments lor criminal offenses of various
grades, were discharged from-further duty. The
Courl adjourned sine die after a session uf ten days.
The case that excited the most interest was that
of the Territory vs. Priest Peter John Monnicum.
The deceased aud the prisoner at the bar were at
the time oL the poisoning, 3rd. ol August last, both
officiating clergymen oi the Catholic church at
Moro in ibis diocese. The former, Father Abel,
upon his death bed. persisted in accusing the prisoner as his murderer, after having been repeatedly
warned by one ofthe witnesses of the importance
of such an accusation. The bottle of wine containing the fatal poison was that used at tbe Holy Sacrament or in saying mass at tbe altar, and the dy-
ins priest declared tbat no one but bimselfand the
accused had or could bave access to the wine : it
was established, however, that though this was
very probably true, the contrary was possible. So
fix-id did the belief appear lo be in Father Abel
that Father Monnicum was his murderer, that
when the latter was suggested as Ihe priest to officiate at the deathbd, the lormer replied that he
••aid not want his murderer to administer to him"
—that hedid not want Monnicuin's:,ame mentioned to him—for that, the person that had poisoiicu
him was unfit to administer the si crament." The
evidence was entirely circumstantial, and we understand that in the opinion of most persons who
beardthetrial.it was not at all conclusive of the
Eu'ilt oi the prisoner, whom the jury after a shbrt
absence found not guilty by the lolluwing verdict :
"Nosotros, los miembros del pequeno jttrado,
unaiiinieniente hallanos sin culpa al acusado.''

Thu  Nuviijoe War.
In a special message to the Legislature, Gov*
Kencher gives tbe following information regarding the Navajoe war :—
At present the war is suspended. The Indiana
sued for peace, aud the Indian Agent aud Military Commander believing the Indians sufficiently
castigated and humbled, agreed to an aimistice
for thirty days. Tbe Armistice provided ouly for
the surrender, by the Indians, ol properly taken
from the Fort and whieh belonged to thc United
Slates, but did uot provide for the surrender ol
private property taken by the Indians during the
war from the citizens of the Territory. The Armistice did not provide for the surrender of the
murderer, which was the cause of the war, nor
even for the payment of the negro boy who was
murdered, although the Indians, before the war,
agreed to pay any price for hiin, however extravagant. If therefore the Navajoes have been castigated and humbled, the armistice unfortunately
aftords no evidence of it.
The Superiutendont of Indian Affairs and the
Commander of the Military Department left-Santa
Fe a few days ago, for the seat of war. I have
been assured by tbern, that they will consent to
no peace upon tbe terms of the Armistice. They
will requtre at least tbe surrender of private as
well aa public property taken by the Indians during the war, and a meridian liue shall be established, east of which tbe Navajoes shall neither plant,
nor gra„e their stock. A peace less favorable to
us would be unjust, a mere delusion, aud could not
last.

The Cliemlstiyof'Wine.
The chemical component' of grape juice, are
grape and fruit sugars, gelatinous matter or pectin, gum, fat, wax, vegetable albumen and vegetable gluton, tartaric acid, both free and combined
with potash as  cream   of tartar, partly also coni-
alumnia ; further, oxide of iron and oxide ofimig-
nese, sulphate of lime, magnesia, and silicoic acid.
The skins, stones, and stalks all yield tannic
acid, turning brown by exposure to the atmosphere
— becoming, in fact, that Cinderella of the chiiu-
its known as apothema—gives its browu hue to
(unadulterated) white wine. For there is no such
thing a= a purely colorless wine ; even tbe celebrated Vino cebedino, called colorless, is a pale
yellow This is the reason, too, why raisins are
uniformly dark skinned, whether they be of purple or white grapes ; the tannic ucidm their skins
turnirg brown by exposure to the air in the process of drying.
The pur|.de grape has, besides this tannic acid,
a coloring matter of its own. whicb is. properiy,
a distinct blue, but by the action of acids is converted"-into a deep or red purple. In unripe grapes
saiurated witb acids, it is a bright ted. as we all
have seen ; and young wine is always bright and
more brilliant than that which has matured. As
tbe grape ripens, so does Ihc skin, or rather tlie
coloring matter, become more purple or blue.—
The less acid the darker the skin, till ever-ripe
purple grapes becomes positively black. Bbt
even tbis deep color gradually changes by age as
well as by exposure, and the bright red ofthe
young wine—due partly to an excess of phosphor
ie acid—by degrees sobers and mellows into lhe
•tawny [ ort" so near to connoisseurs; that is,
the tannic acid is converted into apotbema, aud
with the acid goes therul'y-like color.
In tbe best Burgundy and colored Champagne
thc skins remain in the liquid from two to three
days, this is to color them; in Medoc six days ;
eight days in the French wines of tbe south ; aud
fourteen in the dark astringeus via ordinaire of
the table d'hote. To clear white wines, also to
make tliem lighter if too dark, albumen and isin-
gl.ss are used. This is the mode by whieh white
port wiue is obtained. In Spain they use powder
ed marble for the purpose ; iu otber countries
gypaum and sand : also filling up any deficiency
iu tbe casks with clay and sand. In warm climafeti
neither albumen nor isinglass is used, as ihese,
being animal substances, would decompose too
readily : as, indeed, th-ry do in colder climates
when used to excess. Powdered gum-arab;c is
substituted ; dried blood, milk and cream are abo
used, as well as lime Lime seems to be the best
for thc purpose, muliing the wine sweeter ari'l lest"
astrringent, and giving it the appearance of age.
If used in excess, it turns the wine browu. Speaking of albumen, one reason who Burgundy is a
bad keeping wine is owing to the free use of albumen and isinglass. Containing but little tannic
acid in the beginning, these animal subslnnces
readily decompose, and the cask " goes to the bad -
after a very short time.
Tokay is made from grapes, which have almost
dried on the vines : and all the so-called Tin sec
assumes to be made under the like conditions.—
Vin de paille is from grapes dried oo straw, and
Vm cotti from boiled juice. All these processes
have the same object—namely, the evaporation of
the watery particles in the grape, thus leaving
only a'rich. pure, alcoholic juice. We say aleo
holic, though perhaps, we ought to bave said saccharine ; but tbey are almost synonomous terms ;
for the more sugar there is in the grape, the more
alcohol there will he in the wine. Otic hundred
nnd ninety-eight of sugar gives ninety-two ofal-
cohol ; tbus. if onr strong ports give sixteen per
cent, of alcohol, the grape must Lave had thirty-
four per cent, of sugar; which, if not impossible,
seeing it is affirmed that tven forty per cent, of
solid particles of sugar may be obtained from r pe
grapes, is, at least, an unusual average. Fie
and German grapes give from seven to fifteen per
cent., hut tbe usual figures range from thirteen io
thirty. Iu Holland it is only from ten to twei
Grape sugar is obtained by bnilibg the juice with
,.biilk to salurate the free acids, theu filtering the
liquid and washing the precipitate. Theliquid is
ihen mixed with albumen, boiled, filtered, aud
evaporated, wben the crystals of sugar are deposited,—Household Words.

San FftATScisco, C-L . January 10th, 1869.
Dkar Htah—The President's Message is still cnIL
jVlgout the "opinions ofthe press" in this city, but
it will be remembered that ii is only that part'of thc
''press" which  is und  always haa  beeu opposed to
true Dmnoei-at-ic   principles.    No sane man  of tra»
Democratic  faith  ever   expected   that James Buchanan could possibly deliver a massage that would
meet with the approbation   of the Black Republicans, Fremoruites. the defunct Whig party, and the
tag-end  of that  stupenduous  humbug —the Know
Nothing party.    It is amusing to read the ' leaders"
that are pulled off by some of lhe papers, which belong to one or the other of the above named parties,
when   attempting to find fault  with the  views and
principles  of the present  Chief' Magistrate of tbe
United States.
Well may they any, "as me expected, the President's Messago  bus failed to failed to give   satisfaction,"— "almost the last thing  noticed bv the Pre f-
OeiiL m  nis Mww^c,   ......   ti.o i>_c'';<,   iinit..__ "_.
"the attempt of James Buchanan, in his Lecompiou
policy, to crush ont public sentiment, and force upou
the people a law which is unjust." These and many
other faults are found with tbe views and policy of
President, Buchanan, wliich, like those alreadv quoted, are too insignificant and unfounded t» require
even a passing notice. We would ask, do those
men who wiite Buch things believe that there is a.
single Democrat ol tho right grit stupid enough to
believe that these reasons and objections which ara
urged against the present Administration to be trim
and sincere ? No, not at all, ihey are only pretended, and havo not. the least spark of sincerity about
them. It is plain to any unprejudiced man, that
President Buchanan could not have delivered a
message that would have corresponded with their
anticipations. If President B.ichanan had devoted
his entire message tothe important subject of the
Pacific Railroad, that would nol have been according to their anticipations. Ii President Buchanan
had disregarded the law of thc Uuited States—allowed Mr, Douglas to be President for him—agreed
with him upon bis anti-Lccompton hiuiibugrv—thi.
would not. have been according tothe approbation
ofthese fastidious pany leaders. Now, why are
these men such Muggins' hs to give iliesc aa iheir
reasons for opposing the present Administration !
They know that the Democrats are not to beguiled
with such fal-lal and stuff. Then why do they not
come out as men in their true characters, though it
be as black as night, and give ther true reasons?
We know that James Buchanan is only a man, _
faithful, honest and wise statesman, ami as ail ara
liable to go wrong, he might do so too. Bat that is
not the question. We presume that no President,
from the immortal Washington down to James Buchanan, that has ever delivered a message, but what
there were some to find fault, and o'hers to complain that the laws and des'iuv ofthe United State*
Iind 'siri.ni l-nfaiihiulty guarded. Then, we s.v again,
in view of these unni^tako.iblc facts, why is it that
those men endeavor to put forward those reasons,
"nstcad of those that are real? Their reasons for
"o doing is not not a secret confined entirely within
thetr own ranks, but they are so well known that it
I'ouhl be fo ly to consume time and space to enumerate them.
We say, gentlemen, come out iu your real characters—fight your battles fairly, then, ifyou should
gain a victory, it will be some credit to you    Never

The citizens of San Jose were thrown iuto great
excitement on Friday, 'ith inst., by an afliay which
took place near the seventeen mile bowse, on the
ranch of Thoms Seal. It appears that tbe property was under dispute between Seal and two brother!
by the name of Shore. The last-menlioncd pany
t to the said ranch and commenced putting up
a house, from which they were forbidden by Seal.
A heated altcrcatioa and a fight ensued, and all
kinds of weapons were used. In the fight, one of
the bi others Shoie was killed, and the other wound-
Seal was wounded with an axe, besides a shot
in the leg. Upon Uie advice of bis friends, Seal
went to >'an Jose and gave himself up to the authorities, and was placed in custody. While the
Coroner's examination was progressing, a company
of over one hundred men collected with the avowed
