THE REJECTED.
He bowed his head as if the chords
Of life had snapped in twain ;
I conld not catch his hurried words,
But they seemed full of pain.
His eyes were lit with feverish fire,
His cheek had a hectic stain :
As he stooped to kiss my band,
His tears fell down like rain.
We met ouce more in after years,
When I—another's bride—
Had learned to measure by my tears
The costliness of pride
Amid the gay, unheeding crowd,
Chance threw us side by side;
He seemed the wreck of the noble heart.
Whose hopes had early died.
The unforgotten look returned,
The sad impassioned look,
It seemed to pierce my very soul,
And read it like a book.
He bowed his head ami strove to smile ;
Alas ! I could nut brook
To know how wurthless all I gah.eilr^5^
And s*e what I forsook.

nine can
never" be made. Ex|ieiiineuts, continued
though a series of years, in Europe, have de-monstrated
tho fact, that iu favorable seasons,
for manufacturing the best wines, the gram.
juice contains, in every one thousand pounds,
an average of two hundred and forty pounds
of Sugar, six pounds of Tartaric Acid, and sev-en
hundred and fifty-four pounds of tcattr ;
beuce, ''Must" containing such relative pro-portions,
is known as a "Xormal Mvit." The
nitrogenized clement or Albumen is neccssary
to induce fermentation, aud while necessary
to be preseut, for no fermentation can take
place, if absent, exists in varying proportions
in different uiusts, if absent "or deficient in
quantity, it must be supplied by the addition
of guni or its equivalent; if it should lie pres-i-
n 1 i n excess, it only becomes precipitated
during fermentation increasing the quantity
often/' It js therefore not an element of
the wine, but a requisite only to \\ • >UB f--r-tuuntation,
and the consequeut devoloptn.;rit
of tho wine, by the conversion of the sugar in
Alcohol, upon which the strength and keep-ing
properties of-I ho wine wholly depend.
In addition to tbeae niTcssary of a "Norinai
must," ti.. te arc certain adventitious sub-stances
or principles which may or may not
be present, which serve to givo character to
tho winu: Tuiiiu, Linn-. Potash, Carbonic.
Malic, and Acetic Acids. Acetic Ether, Odori-ferous
aud Coloring principles, see.
Tcairi, or tho astringent principle, exists in
the hunt, stem, and Bond of the grape, to a
greater or less degree in diflerent varieties of
trapes, hut is never found in the pure juice,
a some varieties of grape, there is scarcely a
trace, while others, as I lie Norton's Virginia,
contain it in such quantity as to give charac-ter
to the wine. It is essential iu the manu-facture
of Port or astringent wines; but it is
scarcely perceptible in delicate wines, as
Eunielan, Herbamont, Iona and rough or as-tringent
wines arc always fermented 011 the
"lee$,"—or with hnst, stem and seed,as mask-ed;
but as the more delicate wines should
never possess any perceptible ostriugeucy,
the "len" are carefully excluded by drawing
offtbe "must," as passed, before any traces of
fermentation can set in.
Malic and Acetic Acidt.—These, whon present
in excess, change the wine into a M>I< i.s ot
cider. Many of our native grapes, aud all
other fruits used in domestic wine making,
contain an excess of these acids, and can nev-er
make, unless neutralized, other than a bad
and sharp cider wine; but by tho addition of
a small portion of quick lime, before pressing,
the acid is absorbed and neutralized; after
which, if Tartaric acid is deficient, it must be
supplied. By this procedure many of our
grapes, now useless tor wine, will produce a
very fair wine. The quantity of lime neces-sary,
is very small—usually one gallon of
slacked lime water to every hntnln 1! ra lions
of must. The Concord, Clinton, and Senpper-noug,
and all Fox, or'oibor wild grapes, con
tain an excess of these acids;— and in bad
seasons, they exist in more or less,-u all va-rieties.
They exist to .1 large excess iu tin
Illaekberry ;—but by proper attention ami
• "'. they can he corrected. Itut for the pros
■ ■-. oj these, the ' nTalen would make a very
.ii|.eiior wine. They exist to a greater extent
in Northern grown grapes than Southern.
The warmer and more equitable the season
aud climate, the less in they developed. We
find the quality of Concord, Clinton and Scup-
|iernong wines,as sroHaaonr domestic Itlack-lierry
wines, are greatly improved iu charac-ter
and Savor, by attention to neutralizing
tht -e acids.
.lr->./.„r,Voaef Odnrifertm* Mutter.—The pecu-liar
taste arid smell of v» me, called flavor or
•' bo*i":t," and v> liic.li servo to give it nidi \ idu-ality,
is produced by an cthvriztd acid, dill.-r-ing
more or less in almost every luriety of
grape. In some this flavor is very gratelul
as the Euinelan, Iona, Herbamont and Scup-pernong,—
iu others ofa muscatcd character;
in others, it is peculiar and disagreeable as in
the Diana, Agawam, or Rogers No. 15. Tho
blossoms of the Scuppernoug, aud those of
the fine-scented Vitis Riparia and Oiloratiuima,
when dried and preserved, impart their rich
and grateful aroma to witie; aud may ad-vantageously
be used, iu counteracting the
strong, musky and disagreeable flavor ofsome
of our varieties, and imparting their own.
Tbe Etherial Oil, upon which this odori-ferous
matter depends, is developed, during
fermentation, by the presence and action of
the Tartaric acid present; they are not devel-oped
in wines in which this acid is deficient.
Climate also has a tendency to intlnence and
control it from the same cause. Warm cli-mates
increase the saccharine matter, and di-minish
the quantity of Tartaric acid present,
and "ri« ptraa ;" hence, we find the wines of
warm cliinaico ii, sugar,—but possess no odor;
the wines of France have it in a marked dc-
Eree, while in those of Germany, along the
bine, the jierfiiuie is most intense, and va-riety
has much to do with its development *
those llnouiBg laic, as the Scuppernoug and
Herbaiuout iu this country, and the Reiss-lings
and Oileans iu Europe, have the strong-est
porfuuio or "Ooauet;" and contain propor-
1 ion all;, larger quantity of Tartaric acid. We
And IK.ib In this country and Europe, that
varieties thut have strong aroma,« hen culti-vated
iu a more Northern locality, will en-tirely
lose it, when transplanted in a warmer
latitude. Thru, Reisslings transplanted from
tbe Rhine, or the Cape ofGood Hope, produce
au excellent wine, but loses that peculiar
aroma, which marks it on the Rhine. These
facts give the riater much control over the
character of his wines, enabling him, by care-ful
manipulation, to modify it at pleasure, bv
The essential operations in the art of wine-making
are to correct a "bad must;" and to
obviate any deficiency or defect, in the jmice
of the grape, in any one of the requisite ole-
■ueuts of Sugar, Taitaric acid, Nitrogenized
matter, Aroma, ic.; and to bring tlie'^mut"
to either a normal or the required condition
desirable, for the character of the wine in-tended.
This is within the power of every
rintcr, and according to his taste, judgment
and skill in manipulating the "must, will
depend the character of his wines,
Vinous Fermentation is the process by which
grape sugar is converted into alcohol. All
liquids, susceptible of vinous fermentation,
contain grape sugar, or some equivalent sub-stance,
capable of sou version into grape su-gar
as fruit, caue sugar, starch, ate. When
the vinous fermentation is over, they are
found to have disappeaied, and the new pro-duets
nf Alcohol and Carbonic said are pres-ent.
Though a necessary element of vinous
fermentation, grape sugar of itself cannot in-duce
it. It is necessary io be. combined, >'■
complete solution with water, and be sub-jected
to the action of a ferment, at a certain
temperature between tiodeg. and 90 deg. F.
All substances which have the power of pro-ducing
fermentation, contain nitrogen—this
principle is therefore essential. Albuminous
matter sad gluten, substances rich in nitro-gen,
are the Itum*. These, by exposure to the
air, become oxydized, and propagate its ac-tion
to the "grape sugar." The action com-menced,
the water liecouies partially decom-posed,
and imparts a portion of its oxygen to
tbegluton, to keep up thooxydization. There-fore,
the process once commenced, column, s

service in Africa amongst and against
the Bedouins has made them .superior
riders, and they perform all the feats
on horseback in which the sons of the
desert excel, and will ride at full gal-lop,
turn iu the saddle, and lire to the
rear with precision. They also distin-guished
theiusely at daring the Crimean

These are native African or Algerian

The Turcos arc light infantry,

The Spahis are a cavalry corps, and

Both the Turcos End Spahis are Mo-liaminedans.

THE FOREIGN LEGION.
There is at present but one regiment
in existence containing representatives
of all nationalities. The words of cor-manil
ar
made the gains reported agaiust such
odds, we may be sure that men of the
same party in other Southern States
will take heart and do eq tally well
at their tiex i vli-il inns; while all through
the North the opposition .will derive
courage and strength from the North
Carolina victory. Happily lor human
ity, ihe straggle in North Oarolina,
owing to the pacific disposition of the
conservatives, passed off with little <>.-
no bloodshed. But it will not be Baft
for the radical governors of other
States to repeat the dangerous experi-ment
ofllolden ; and we cannot believe
that President Grant will blunder into
a second disastrous exhibition of his
partisan leellugs in the same way.
Atw| no*;a word t.i.tluv^orth' Car-olina
Conservatives it they have elec-ted
a majority of the Legislature or of
Congressmen or of both. Their tri-umph
will fie a great one. but they
should wear their honors meekly. They
should take great pains by their de-meanor
to refute radical assertions of
theirnnkindness to the negroes and
their generally lawless conduct. Such
allegations will continue to IK- made
against whatever they may do; but if
not siilisiiintiatodby facts.as they have
not been hitherto, (hey will not lie lie-lieved
liy persona capable of reading
newspapers and learning the tenth for
themselves. If, in any corner of the
State, there is a gang of men railing
themselves the "Kit Klux Klan." of
which we hate doubts,, tho Consul"11
tiveo : hould suppress it at all hazards.
Everywhere they should appear as the

I happened to be present one day
when au ingenious gentleman under
took to explain to Mr. Stanton a cun-ningly
designed repeater.
"The best invention for killing,''
said Mr. Stanton, "was made by God
Almighty when he created a man. I
would rather have one good soldier
with a single charge in bis gun, deter-mined
to kill somebody, than a new
recruit with a repeater and followed
by a wagon load of ammunition."
The question of transportation is a
grave one in war, and a man can have
iu battle as much ammunition as ho
can conveniently carry. It is therefore
an error to suppose that in a repeater
we double or quadruple the nnrubew of
men, if, in so doing, we neigh down
the soldier, or have to follow him with
a wagon load of ammunition. The
true art of war lies in the imaginary
order of old I'utnatn, of " Reserve your
fire, boys, until you can see the whites
of their eyes."
But we went crazy w ith the rest,and
had our fine Springfield rifles turned
into repeaters at a cost that would
have bought us new ones, some infer
nal scoundrels pocketing the profits.

FRANCE'S PET SOLDIERS.
THE ZEPHVRS, THE CHASSEURS D>AF-BIQUE,
TURCOS AND SPAHIS.
Besides tbe zouaves, of which a des-cription
has lately been given, the
French army contains the following
special corps:
TBS ZEPHYRS.
They resemble the zouaves in their
uniforms, arms, and equipment, and
their organization and drill are almost
the same : but while the zouaves are a
proud corps and believe in military
honor, such is by no ine..ns the case
with the zephyrs. They are simply a
corps ol culprits and jail birds, if a
soldier of the French army commits a
vulgar and dishonoring crime, that is,
if he robs, steals, chcats.or proves to be
ii eowa.d, he is condemned to serve on
[he galleys; but if he only commits
what migiii be termed a genteel crime.
that is. if he commits n.anslaiighter,oi-avages
a woman, or is insubordinate.
Jieu lie is condemned to serve in the
corps of i he zephyr . T.iey are perma-nently
stationed in Africa, and the dis-cipline
among these rather dangerous
and desperate characters is terribly
severe. Kvery officer has the right to
kill a zephyr on the spot should lie
show the leas; gign of iusiiboidinatioil.
and to this circumstance they owe their
nine, which .'••-> have adopted them-selves
to express thereby of how little
value their lives are, which at an\ time
might die out like a zephyr. Their offi-cial
appellation is Corps of Punish-ment,
and they now number several
thousand men. They paint themselves
with blue ink all o\er their bodies iu
the most fantastical manner, and even
the hardest punishment could not put
a stop to this singular amnjciucnt, to
which they seem to ba\ e takeu,beeause
they are not permitted to have cats,
and get no pay. Whet. General Pel-issier
was offered the command in the
Crimea, he accepted it ot ly under the
condition that the zephyrs wonld ac-company
him there, and that, if they
should behave well, they were to lie
pardoned and permitted to return to
I their regiments. They were sent there,
and their success was complete.
Iu the battle near Tractis, the Rus-sians
had fo. med a square which the
Sardinian cavalry had vainly attacked,
when General Bosquet, who then com-manded
them, advanced the zephyrs.

TO THE EllllilR OF THE WORLD.
—Wr .•—Much has been said by the
press ;,i regard to the state of affairs
in North Carolina,but no one can have
any idea of the condition of the citizens
without being acquainted with the an-tecedents
of Colonel George W. Kirk,
commander of the State troops.
At tbeoutbreak of the war,the Kirk's
espoused the Union cause, aud finally
fled to the mountains of East Tennes-tce,
and commenced a guerilla warfare
on their own hook, immediate death
was meted out to all rebels or personal
enemies who chanced to fall into Cap-taiu
Kirk's clutches. Hearing of Gen-eral
Buruside's approach, Kirk assem-
] bird his mountaineers, and reported.
' i ieneral Burnable authorized a member
of his staffand Kirk to raises regiment
to be known as the Second North Caro-lina
Mounted Infantry. A battalion
I was raised, and Captain Smith, of tho
! Filth Indiana Cavalry, was appointed
j lieutenant eol'.'iel commanding, and
l\ii k captain of a company. This tnru
of affairs displeased Kirk, and he soon
went back In Ids old guerrilla kind of

Had about t wo hundred men assembled
in Know die. lenn., when he was au-thorized
to raise a regiment to lie
known a*, the Third North Carolina

the general commanding the

misdeeds committed by him and

being nearly full, and having
been without nay for some time, an
attempt was made to muster tiiein into
tbe service of the United States; but

a man could write his name, and tho
