With all other valuable hardy kinds, including large stocks of Delaware and Diana. IjlHE lona Propagating Establishment, which was the first ever instituted for the production of hardy vines, has heretofore been very large greatly surpassing in extent and appliances any others of the kind that hare sprung up in imitation of it but it has not been able to supply the demand for plants. The past year the stock of the most desirable kinds was all ordered in the early part of the season, and many applicants were greatly disappointed by not being able to obtain as many as they wished of the most desirable plants. For the purpose of producing the excellent new varieties of the best possible quality in sufficient number to satisfy tbe increasing demand, the means of production have this season been very greatly enlarged, and no improvement has been omitted which my knowledge and experience have suggested that will tend to facilitate the propagation of a greatly increased supply of plant, that will produce the best results as to hardy vigor and early bearing in Garden and Vineyard, for table use and for wine. The character of the Delaware for excellence and value is now so well established that all good judges of grapes hare accepted it as a standard of comparison, for which it is most admirably fitted.
The important points in which the Delaware Is surpassed by the new seedlings IONA and ISRAELLA, and which rank them as the best grapes In cultivation, are also well ascertained and generally admitted. I have spared no care or cost this season to obtain a stock of plants that will increase the well-earned reputation of these kinds as well as that of the lona Establishment. The Vines at present give promise of surpassing those of any former season in healthful vigor, and I do not hesitate to offer them under the assurance of unequalled quality. It it of great importance for the hardy and enduring vigor of vines, and for early bearing and continued productiveness, that the plants should not onlybe propagated in the best manner, but from the best wood from mature stocks. In this respect as well as in other essential points, I may claim a great advantage Tor my present stock of IONA and ISRAELLA plants, which hare been produced with the greatest care from wood grown fcr that special purpose, and such as no other can command.
1 am happy to invite special attention to these new varieties, (lona and Israella) which this season show even a greater superiority over alt the other kinds than heretofore, in the certainty and abundance of their produce. While other kinds that have been unduly and injudiciously praised through ignorance or otherwise, have fallen back in reputation toward their proper station, these have advanced in the front rank which they bad already firmly attained, and the IONA may safely be said to have no competitor in value. There is much of importance pertaining to vines and their management that is better and more clearly learned by inspection than by the fullest account, and in consequence, I invite all who are Interested in the subject to call at lona Island, and examine both the young plants and the beating vines, Peekskill, the station for lona, is less than one hour and three-quarters from New York, and only about three hours from Albany, and not leas than twelve trains pass each way daily. My own boats are generally at the station to meet passengers by the morning Express trains to convey them to tbe Island, In addition to these, Mr. James TenEyck, one of the best of boatmen, has established a regular line of boats for the conveyance of passengers to and from the Island, meeting all of the principal trains during the day.
He is provided for the comfortable conveyance of passengers In any weather at established charges which are very moderate. Fur the purpose of meeting the wants of the times In regard to the knowledge of the vine and its management, I have Issued several publications which are the result of many yeari'exteod-ed practice and careful observation. They are named and sent as follows: "Ol'R NATIVE GRAPES) with an account of oar four nest kinds," with Price Lists, con stituting a pamphlet of twenty-four pages. Sent for two-cent stamp.

This shows the best and cheapest method of obtaining vines, and Is that by which my Immense stocks have been chiefly sold the past two years, with general high satisfaction.
These propositions are worthy of the atten fjoa of dealers and all others. Tbe premiams for the formation ef Clubs are not only very liberal, bat enable persons wtthoat cost of money, to obtain vines of special duality that cannot be procoied in any ether way. Address C. W.

We have, as yet, only brief telegraphic reports of the business transacted. All that we know of its acts of general importance is that it passed an or dinance declaring the ordinance of secession null and void prohibited slavery in the Stale for all time to come devolved upon the next Legislature to provide by law "for the protection and security of the persons and property of the freedmen of the State and guard them and the State against any evil that may arise from their sudden emancipation" adopted memorials praying the government to remove negro troops from the State, and for the pardon of Jefferson Davis and Gov. Clark and designated the first Monday in October for the election of Congressmen, members of the State Legislature and State officers. This list is meagre enough, but its general look is favorable. Judge E.
S. Fisher was nominated for Governor. On the last day of the Convention, Gov. Sharkey sent in a telegraph dispatch which he had received from President Johnson, congratulating the Convention on the progress they were making, in paving the way to the admission of the State of Mississippi into the Union, and expressing an earnest hope that all obstacles to such re-admission would soon be removed. The President also says in this dispatch that he will restore the writ of habeas corpus and remove the troops from the State at the earliest moment when the State shall have entirely returned to her allegiance.
He hopes, in conclusion, that the example of Missis sippi will be followed by the other Southern States. Ohio Democratic Convention. The Democratic Convention of Ohio met at Columbus on the 24th. Gen. Geo.
W. Morgan was nominated for Governor, and Wm. Lang for Lieut. Governor. Hon.
C. L. Vallandigham and Hon. L. Pugh were among the speakers.
A series of resolves was adopted, among them resolutions opposing consolidation of all power in the hands of the Federal Government; maintaining the doctrine of Stales Rights as laid down in the resolutions of 1798 denouncing negro suffrage advocating payment of the national debt, and the collection of a national tax for this purpose and declaring the exercise of the military power in the arrest and trial of citizens and interference with elections, revolutionary of the Constitution of the United States. Also, declaring the purpose of the convention to stand by President Johnson in all constitutional -efforts to restore the States to the exercise of their rights and powers. Our Government and the Empire of Mexico. The New York Herald says that Senor Deg-ollado, an agent or commissioner of the Emperor of Mexico, recently arrived in Washington and made his application for an audience of the President and Secretary Seward, who were asked to receive a letter from the Emperor of Mexico. Their reply is reported to have been that they knew no such person and would not receive the letter.
This shows, the Herald says, that our Gov ernment is firm on the matter of the Monroe doctrine, however much, owing to its preoccupation in subduing the rebellion, it may have been suspected of losing sight of this cardinal point in American policy. This story is denied. CHTJKCH AND MINISTRY. Rev. George A.

A correspondent of the Providence Press makes the following calculation "It costs something now to go to camp meeting, as may appear from the following figures. Let us put the number in attendance upon this meeting on bunday last at 10,000 people. this calculation, we think, is quite moderate.
Let us sun- pose that the travelling expenses of these 10,000 persons average three dollars each this will toot up ISow let it be supposed that one- half that number average one week's stay upon the ground for each individual. The price of board is seven dollars per week. The board of these 5,000 people would reach the respectable figure of $35,000. Now let it be supposed that 5.000 persons sacrifice seven days' labor each, and that each man's earnings (when at home) average two dollars per day, this calculation will give us the little item or At least $30,000 worth of property remains permanently upon the ground. The interest of this at 7 per would yield $2100.
Uur calculation is that each of the 10,000 persons who visit the encampment expend one dollar for incidental expenses. Now let us add these several items together, and we find that they present the astounding aggregate of one hundred and forty-Jive thousand two hundred and ten dollars!" The minutes of the Old School Presbyterian body for the year 1865 have just been issued, showing churches, zjtrz ministers, and a total membership of 232,450. To the different boards, mission, education, arc, has been contributed the past year $489,844, and for miscellane ous purposes $338,327. In the ecclesiastical meetings of all the religious denominations, one of the chief topics now up for consideration is, how to increase the number of young men preparing for the ministry. The war very greatly checked the increase of students.

JAMES GUILD lsU On Thursday of last week, an excursion train on the Old Colony Railroad run into a band car near Braintree, and the engine, baggage and seven passenger cars were thrown from the track, two of the latter being capsized down the em bankmkftt.
Wonderfully, only one person, John S. Knowles, of South Boston, was seriously in jured. He had his left leg badly broken by be ing caught between two cars, as he was crossing the platform at the time of the accident. Several of the passengers were somewhat bruised. Two men were on the hand car, who escaped injury.
On Thursday forenoon, 24th, a collision be tween a passenger and a freight train occurred on the Oil Creek Railroad, Pa. Nine persons were killed, and ten or fifteen seriously wounded. The disaster was caused by the engineer of a freight train running his engine on the track out of time, and at an hour when" a passenger train was due, coming from an opposite direction. The trains met near a curve, and nearly every car was broken up. It is a wonder that more persons were not killed.
On the 25th, a terrible accident occurred on the Tennessee and Alabama Railroad. A passenger train which left Nashville for Huntsville that morning ran off the long tressle work near Reynold's Station. The entire train was thrown off, and ten or twelve persons killed and about twenty injured. An express messenger, named Mosby, and a Mr. Hazelton were killed.
A New York dispatch of the 2Sth, says: A collision occurred on the Long Island Railroad this morning, about ten o'clock, near Jamaica. The two engines, "Gen. Grant" and Gen. Sherman," attached to the respective trains were smashed up. Two cars of the train going up were piled one on the other.
The cars of the other train were not much damaged. The engineers on both trains escaped uninjured. The cause of the collision was that the engineer on the up train instead of stopping at Winfield, as he should have done, went on to Jamaica. Four or five persons were killed and quite a number injured. On Monday evening, 21st, the steamer Argosy No.
3, Capt. Vangegrift, from Cairo for Cincinnati, with the 70th Ohio Infantry, about three hun dred strong, was blown ashore in a rain storm, near Ilalfield's Landing, eighty miles below Lou isville. The concussion exploded the mud-drums, and the steam coming aft, scalded twelve, two of whom died, and two are expected to die. Be tween thirty and forty jumped overboard, eip-ht of whom were drowned. This is a sad record for one week.
It seems as if something might be done to render traveling by the cars more secure. If self interest will not cause railroad directors to take proper care for the safety of travellers, then the law should step Nobody to blame" has been too often ac cepted as sufficient explanation, when a proper investigation would not only have shown son)ebody' to blame, but would have fixed the responsibility where it belonged. The regulations of railroads should be such that accidents like those chroni cled above, from collisions, should be impossible without direct violation of rules, and any viola tion of orders should carry with it the penalty of dismission by the company, and, in such cases as recorded, above, a further penalty should be enforced by law. Supposed Murder in Conco*kd. The Jour nal gives the following particulars of a supposed murder in Concord, in this State On Wednesday morning last, between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock, the lifeless body of Michael McManus, a youth about sixteen years of age, was found by Bryne McDonald on the scaffold of his barn, on Bedford street, near the middle of the town, with a bullet wound through his head, the bull having entered near the left temple and passed transversely downward, coming out just below the right jaw.
The pistol from which tne latai oau was nrea, was lounu near uie uaru. It was of large size, single barrel, and was identified as one which was bought by McDonald last vear, under the threat that he would shoot a man i i wno naa enusiea nis sun iu me ami. uu, whose name is also Bryne, has just returned from the war, and on the morning in question was not to be found. The old man, who is an uncle 01 the deceased, we believe, was at once arrested.

An Insult to the President. A special Washington dispatch to the New York Evening Post of Saturday says that among the crowd of applicants for pardon that thronged the Presi dent's house on nday, there was a man who brought a letter to President Johnson from a distinguished politician. It was to the following purport "That the bearer was a poor man who was not possessed of the five hundred dollars which he understood was necessary to obtain such a document, and trusted to the generosity of the President to grant the pardon." Those who were present will never forget the language and manner of the President.
He declared that the letter was a gross and unwarrantable insult, not only upon himself, but upon every member of his household, even to the humblest page in attendance. The man, by bis order, was immediately conducted to the door. Arrest of Edward B. Ketchum. Edward B.
Ketchum, the great defaulter, was arrested at a house in West Twentieth St, New York, on Friday of last week. Ue has not been out of the citr.

The census of Il linois is completed, and the grand total of its pop, ulation is in the neighborhood of 2,200,000. The city of Chicago shows a population of 177,936, an increase of a little over 70 per cent, in five years.
An increase of 13,500 a year for five consecutive years, in time of great civil war, ought to be satisfactory, especially as along with this haf come a vast augmentation of the general wealth of the city. The census returns of all the Western States show marked increase of population. The Evening Gold Exchange.

3m22 THE BEST KNOWN FERTILIZER. Xloni of Bone. EAGLE BRAND. rjriHIS article Is distinguished from Bone Meal and Bone screeningi, ana irom an preparations oi none wiui vitnoi, by being "floured" from the broken, anburned bone, in the same manner that flour is made from grain, without chemical procett, mixture or adulteration. The following quotations from Professor Liebig, recognized as the very first authority, are of the highest importance to all interested in agriculture: Bone dust is the agent best adapted to supply phosphate of lime to the deeper layers of the arable soil, or which purpose the superphosphates are not Forty pounds of finely-ground bone (if unadulterated) fur nished more than twenty-two pounds of pure phosphate." One pound of bone produces, in three seasons, en pounds of corn while one pound of guano, in a course of five years, makes five pounds of corn." The above quotations from Liebig, who la the best authority in regard to the facts, as well as the science of agriculture, in Europe, show clearly that a pound of bone is worth more than two and one-half pounds of Peruvian guano, when time and ef fect are both taken into account.
But crushed bone is several years in producing its full effect. The reason is, that the fragments being of a visible site, require a long time to dissolve. We reduce tbe bone to a fine flour, and thus enable the fruit and grain grower to use a much smaller quantity, and to obtain, the same season, all the benefit of what he uses. In this state of flour, it immediately assimilates with the soil, decomposition at once goes on, and tbe full valus is reached in the first season. At the same time the phosphate of lime and ammonia, stoa np in the particles of bone, are not so easily or so rapidly dissolved as to be washed away and wasted nor will the ammo nia evaporate and be lost in the air, as is the case with guano when exposed.
There can be no question that this article of "Flour of Bone' is the most valuable and reliable fertiliser that has ever been offered for ule in this country. Bone is the most and sore fertilizing agent in the world. (fPe guarantee our article of "Flour of Bune, to be perfectly pure bone, vUnomt admixture or adulteration whatever.) The chemical analysis Is as follows: hare made a chemical analysis of the 'Flour of Bone' man ufactured by the Boston Milling and Manufacturing and find it contains 42 per cent, of phosphate of lime, and 4 5-10 per cent, of animal matter. It is free from any adulteration. and in such a fine state of division as to render it capable of undergoing rapid decomposition fn the soil and the ammonia produced by the decay of the animal matter acts as a powerful stimulant to tbe growth of plants, and increases their power in appropriating the phosphate of lime, which is required for the perfection of the fruit or seeds.

On Wednesday of last week, after the resumption of the trial, and the amendment of the charges against Wirz, the counsel for the prisoner retired, conceiving that they had done all they could under the circ*mstances. On the assembling of the court, on Thursday, Mr. Schade, junior counsel for the defence, in consideration of being left to manage the case alone, asked a postponement.
The case was-over-ruled. 0. S. Baker, volunteered for the defence, and is therefore associated with Mr. Schade.
The prisoner put in several pleas why he should not be tried, denying the jurisdiction of the court, and insisting the charges ought to be quashed The court oveuled the pleas of the counsel for the prisoner, and proceeded to trial. Among the witnesses examined was Col. Gibbs, who com manded the post at Andersonville. He said that Wirs had exclusive control of the prison. The prisoners were crowded so as to remind him of an ant hill.
He gave a circ*mstantial account of the discipline and the disgusting condition of the prison, and remarked that one of the rules was that whoever crossed the dead line shonld be shot Dr. John C. Bates, ex-rebel, who was a physician at the prison, another witness, gave a long and interesting account of that place and the shameful treatment to which the prisoners were subjected, stating as his opinion that, with proper care, the lives of seventy-five per cent, of those who died might have been saved. Both of these interesting witnesses testified as to the keeping of dogs as prison instruments. On Friday, the examination of Dr.
Bates was resumed. It was with reference to the condition of the prisoners at Andersonville. According to his narration the scurvy was next to rottenness, with which many of the men suffered. Many starved to death because of the paucity and un-wholesomeness of the rations, and in consequence of the gangrene there were frequent amputations and reampulations of limbs. Dr.
A. W. Barrows testified to having been sent as a prisoner to Andersonville, detailed as a surgeon in that prison there, but, after being there about six months, escaped. He gave an interesting account of how Union prisoners, who had attempted to make their escape, were punished witb the stocks or chain gang. He testified as to the insufficiency and unwholesome character of the ration and the absence of medical supplies, and gave a sickening account of the cruelties to the prisoners.
Bloodhounds were actually employed to capture escaped prisoners. Among other things, be said that the men were vaccinated with impure matter, from the effects of which many died. When the prisoners were being removed from Andersonville, one of the Union prisoners fell back, when Win knocked him down and jumped on him. The testimony on Saturday and Monday was of a similar character. Sergeant Boston Corbett, who shot Booth, and who was at one time a pris oner at Andersonville, and one of two survivors of a Dartv of 14.
was one of the witnesses. The two remaining counsel for the prisoner withdrew on Monday. Win is said to have appeared quite despondent, and the nature of the evidence of- frred was such as to warrant such feeling on his part- On Tuesday, by request of the prisoner, who its ted that his counsel had consented to again act for him, Messrs. Schade and Baker were allowed resume the conduct of the defence. The testi mony of the witnesses examined is made np of repetitions, by eye-witnesses, of the fearful cruelty pr ictieed towards our poor defenceless soldiers.
