In ventilating railroad care, tbe great trouble hitherto has been to procure n current of air and at the name time avoid dust and cinders. This difficulty seems to have been overcome by an in vention to lie tried on the New Yor k and New Haven Haiiroad. Tbe appa ratus is said to bo so arranged that tbe I'Krs ran be kept clotted in the warmest weather, while a contiuual circulation ot pure air is kept up through theui. The air pannes in at tbo front iviudow, over water, where it is purified, and then it is distributed through pipes of>ening into various parts of the car. Such an arrangement would seem practicable and to afford the greatest probability of success iu the solution of the twu-iold problem above men tioned. Thk steel rail mania grows apace both in Europe and America. Ameri can engineers, although they can soon get ail they need of the Bessemer rails manufactured over here from our su perior ores, are Mill very naturally 1 seeking information in Knglatid by iu- I quiry, experiment, comparison, ?fcc. I Tbo London Hatlwity Arw# mentious a I steel rail, now to be seen still in use at I the Chalk Farm Station of itie I,oiulon I und Northwestern Hoad, which lias! outlasted twenty-live iron rails* succes sively placed next to it on the same line. The toughness of the steel rails has lately been made tbe subject of ex periments by a large manufacturing bouse of Sheffield for the satisfaction of a well-known American railroad engi neer. The dropping of a ram of a ton's weight from a height of twenty feet upon one of these rails, supported on iron blocks three feet apart iu theclear, resulted only in slightly beuding it; and the repetition of the blow on tbe other side of tbe rail, from a height of thirty feet, merely straightened it, and so homt geueous was the composition of the rail that not a crack was visible. Such toughness and durability must before long force iron aside for the sub stitution of steel, as the difference in i pi ice is saved over and over again by j tbe lasting qualities of the more ex- I pensive article. Penuriousness is never .economy. Ctmrre or Jadce Underwood. The following i? the charge of Judge Underwood delivered oo Friday to tbe Grand Jury of the United States Cir cuit Court, now in session at Rich mond : ' Gentlemen of the Grand Jury?I have to inform you upon the occasion of ^""^??^mbling that for your inde fatigable efforts at tbe last session to ferret out violstionsof the internal rev e?uel?w?. you have not only received the applause of your fellow-citizens of Virginia, but the Commissioner at \\ ashington has desired me especially to thank yon for the course which you nave taken. ??Hitherto great difficulty has been experienced in the collection of the revenue arising from whiaky. Espe cially has this been the caae in disloyal portions of the country, and in New i?**" more disloyal than Richmond, the detection of fraud has ve{y unfrequent. Tbe tax on whisky has been condemned as ex travagant or unreasonably high. But a moment's thought must convince a reasonable man that the contrary is true, That imposed by the British gov emeinent is eleven shillings sterling I per gallon? a sum equal to about two dollars and a Aalf I in gold?while in the Unitei States but J j two dollars in currency is required to . be paid. The people of England pay I tbe tax with willingness In every part : of the country where loyalty prevails, j and few complaints of evattion are | made. Patriots and philanthropists, however, believe tbia high tax npon a distilled poison ? real blessing; for it certainly prevents diffusion of the poi son, saving thousands of lives, prevent ing crime, and increasing the happiness of the people. Police records, jail sta tistic* and the newspapers of the day | tell but too plainly tbe fearful work which whisky has performed. We can not, therefore, coupute the blessings ! which may result to the community from your efforts in this direction. "It is snameful that many in this city should so far have lost their sense of rectitude as to believe that a merit ex ista in defrauding a lawful Government of its due income. With these person* you have properly dealt. "But I learn that at the present ses sion another and new class o! crimes i will be brought up for your considera tion. Tnese are oerjuries arising from the late registration. To loyal and tried men a3 you, gentlemen of the Grand Jury, are known to be, advice from the Court upon this subject may seem almost superfluous. I feel it my duty, however, to say that a course tempered by dues moderation should be pursued in your investiga tion*. I cannot doubt that many crimes of this nature have been com mitted, that many have perjured them selves in order to obtain the privilege of franchise, but it would seem that great caution should be observed be fore a presentment is made. Bear in mind that concerning a largenumber whom you and I believe have commit ; ted perjury .there is a wfde difference of opinion among loyal men, and those high in authority. Some of our fellow citizens have probably been guided by tbe expressed opinion of tbe Attorney | General, who you will remember is the highest legal authority known to the law. These can urge with much plau sibility that there is much excuse lor I them if the Attorney General agreed in their construction of the Congressional acts. The commanding General of this district, also, has expressed some views which may not personally coincide, and which do not seem to agree with the legislation of Congress at the late ses sion. Here, too, I would urge forbear ance, as tne accused might plead that be had been guided by the General's opinion. "It is scarcely advisable to indict any, therefore, but those who have been flagrant perjurers. Do not aim at the misguided, uneducated and ignorant Out mark the leaders and other well known Individuals who have falsely sworn. I would call your attention to i postmasters, their assistants and depu , ties, all of whom, I am informed at the I Post office Department, have always j been required to subscribe to un oath of allegiance to the United States Govern ; merit. If afterward they have engaged in rebellion, and then registered, it is for you to consider whether they are perjurers." 1 Iu conclusion, the Judge again urged moderation, and in this connection re torted to his own views on the freedom of the press, which he thought should always be allowed to tbe fullest extent. Better allow encouragemeut of treason than exercise a governmental censor ship over newspapers, for in time the most violent journals will sting theui selves to death. This view he had ad vocated two years ago when advised by the General-in-Chief or tbe Armies of the Uulted States to prosecute seces sion journals. The Grand Jury then retired to their room, on the first floor of the Custom House building. t'KOil KMII.M4?J>. The Krpublfcnn state Convention flint Assemble* To-morrow, Au;. I. G/rrespondtnce of the AVic York Herald. Richmond, Va? July 2tf, is?7. It is almost certain now that the Al bemarle delegation and those others that have subscribed to the same plat form of uuiting with republicans 10 se cure reconstruction, will be admitted to the August convention. Gov.Peirpoint, Colonel I^ewis and other distinguished leaders of the party favor a policy of harmony and conciliation, und their | influence will assuredly break down ! the opposition of Iluunicutt and his ad , hereute; but should it possibly occur that the latter succeed in carrying out I their threat of excluding ex-rebels from their councils, what is now a compact and powerful party, will find itself fa tally dismembered. In other words, all the respectable whites possessed of any dignity will secede and affiliate with the largo body of sincere ex-rebels un der tbe simple name of republicans. Governor Peirpoint, who returned yesterday from bis speaking tour, feels delighted with the temper exhibited by the leading white citizens of the coun ties through which he passed. He was received everywhere with cordiality, j and couies back conviuced that the re publican party with very little tact could win over to its ranks a host of ex secessionists. Nearly a dozen delegates from the uortbwestern part of the Slate arrived in town yesterday, a week in advance o! tbe event which attracts them. They j are very jubilant over the prospect of 1 I carrying the election* and loud of in ducing iu what seems a pet nisxim 1 of political economy with all the Union 1 people in Virginia that "rebels ruled the S ate ,k>ng enough; it is our turn 1 now." | liunnicuit acting on the advice of his i friends will keep himself retired during ! *he Convention, saying as little us pos sible und assuming a disguise of su perlative humility. He expects to be sent an n delegate from here to the Cou : stuutional Convention, and looks with I suspicion ou the kindly advice he re-I i,\iV.lir U> V.an,sb . 8uch a prospect fro in his thoughts. If he enters the Consti tutional Convention as a delegate, mat .? W?nr " llveI>* and the eud of the session may be looked for in the misty future. Mn.

On the eve of a new . 1 residential canvass, iu so momentous < 1 an exigency, he would regard any em- | j ploviueut that required ndf him a so jouru of months aoroad us at best but1 ; honorable banishment."' ) Mr. E. p. Manskiku>, of Ohio, the ! "Veteran Observer" of the New York Times, estimates that the absolute money value of the crops this vear will be five hundred millions greater than, last, and predicts as results, increased ? exportation, iucreased importation, in creased gold revenue in consequence of inniD|Cre4M^ ? importation, and a de cline in gold in consequence of its in ! crease in the Treasury. Erie. A letter to tbe Ohio State Journal | give* the following account of grape growing and wine-making on K?lley'a Island on Lake Erie: Grapevine* were planted on the Is land more than twenty years ago, and are yet in good bearing condition?in fact the oldest vine on the Island is to day as prolific a bearer as any of the more recent Tines. The varieties of grapes planted are the Catawba, Isabel la, Delaware and Concord; many other varieties are represented by a few vines, bot nine-tenths of the wine msdeon the Inland is made from tbe Catawba. In , 1853 Mr. Charles Carpenter bad one ? acre in grapes. He sold grapes from i tbe crop to the amonnt of $100. i rows of Isabella vines yielded him 1^75 1 pounds of grapes, from which he made 200 gallons of wine. He gathered pounds of Ca taw baa, but sold most of them for table use, and from the re mainder be manufactured 160 gallons of wine. In 1857 tbe first quslity of bis Catawba ?'must" showed a specific gravity of 77 degrees, and with the addi ! lion of six ounces of sugar, showed 90 degrees. Of this quality be made 967 gallons. His >~o. 2 Catawba "mnoi showed 67 degrees, but with the addi tion of twelve onnoes of sugar was 300 degrees; of this he made ITS gallons. Tbe Isabella "must" showed 56 de grees, with eight ounces of sugar, 85, degrees, 245 gallons. Mr. Kelley in 1&57, made 360 gallons. In 1857 there were about seventy acres in grapes on 1 tbe Island, one-hall of which were set out that spring. Tbe leading wine growers on the Island more than a year ago formed a joint stock company of $100,000 capital; $90.000 of tbe capital has been taken, and payments amounting to thirty-five per cent, have been made. The Com pany buve contracted for tbe grapes on 150 acres, tbe "must" of which must Oe equivalent to a standard of 85 de crees. Tbe Company owns a wine-1 cellar with a storage of 800.000 gallons, i There aie now some 12,000 gallons of wine on band in it, and tbey intend to fill it with tbe vintage of this year. Tne Company bas employed a very in telligent German from near tbe Rhine, who from youth Was brought up to wine-making. He was employed last year, and bis manufacture of tbe vin tage of 1866 gives flattering promise of being tbe best wine ever made in Ohio; it certainly is very far superior to that made here in former years. To me it is very evident that much of grape cul ture and wine-making is yet to be learned before Ohio will produce a wine in every respect equal to that made by that toilsome, patient and somewhat stolid tribe of the Teutonic race?the Swabians on tbe Rhine. Aside from the company's cellar, there are eight other cellars on tbe island, whose aggregate capacity does not exceed that of the Company's alone. The Company have made preparations and arrangements to manufacture a tir?t-class article of Catawba brandy. Wine and vine-growing must be fully as remunerative as petroleum stock. When I first visited tbe islaud in 1853, there were several men employed as laborers, working for $12 to $15 per month; with tbe savings of these lim ited earnings tbey purchased several acres of land, planted them in grapes, and to-day have not only comfortable, but really elegant homes, are free of debt, and have an annual Income of from $3,000 to$5,000. About that period of time a German landed on the islaud with $600 in cash?bis enure worldly fortuue. He paid $400 of it for a few acres, planted them in grapes, and I am told that he is now worth over $50, 0U0?all made out of his few acres of grapes, by indomitable perseverance, untiring industry and unyielding en ergy. Is not this an example well wor thy of imitation? Kelley's Islaud and the lake shore are not tbe only places where a sure reward awaits earnest and patient industry. I am williug to admit that tbe lake itself is of considerable advantage in modifying tbe meteorological influences for grape growing; but there are many other points in Ohio where grape growingcan be made just as profitable aa here. xbe success which seemed to hover around every one who engaged earnest ly in vine-culture or wiue making, produced, as may well be imagined, quite a inauia for vineyards. Put-in Bay Island is being rapidly converted into a large vineyard; North Bass Island is rupidly filling with tbe vine; the Peninsula has many acres, and round about Sandusky possibly one thousand acres are in grapes. I do not approve of "guessing," but could gain no definite statistics; and can only say in support of the "thousand-acre" guess, that on tbe road from Sandusky City to Venice there is literally almost a continuous vineyard for a distance of about five miles.aud theentlre suburbs of Sandusky City are simply a vast vineyard?here fifty acres, there ten. there twenty, over there fifty-four, here six, there twenty-five, Ac. At no period since grape-growing was commenced bas there been promise of so bountiful a yield of grapes as tbe present season gives. Those best situ ated for the manufacture of wine are of opinion that not more than half of the crop, should tbe present promising condition be fully realized at the "gath ering," or harvest, can possibly be made into wine; the grapes on Kelley's Island alone will make 240,000 gallons. Horace Greeley. Tbe individual who is writi ng gossip about writers in the New York .Even ing Gazette, sketches Horace Greeley with a bold and truthful hand. After stating that the veteran editor was married 25 years ago, that he bus two daughters, Gabrielle and Ida, aged respectively eight and eighteen, who ure clever and interesting, but eccentric and self-willed, and that he spends most of his money, as well as his Sundays, on his hundred acre farm, "Chatfaqua," thirty-six miles out on tbe Harlem Railroad, the biographer proceeds: Mr. Greeley can count his admirers by teus of thousands; but he has few personal friends, for the reason that he does not want and does not care for tbem His attachments are rather to princi ples than persons; and while he is un swerving in his loyalty to the former, he seeuis entirely indifferent to the lat ter. Perhaps, like tbe character Gold smith describes, (with a trifling change,) "He casts off his frleotLt as a huntsman his pack; For be knows when he will he can whistle them buck." The few men he patticularly affects he invites to Chaffaqua, and likes to dine with when he has a leisure hour or two. Wheu he has written enough to satisfy his greedy soul, he relishes stealingout of the sanctum with one of his intimates, sitting dowu at the Astor table, or at Deltnonico's (corner of Broadway and Chambers) and having a pleasant chat over a bounteous bill of fare. He bas au excellent appetite unusually; is fond of meats, and especially partial to tea; but be never tastes wine or liquors, spirituous or fer mented, and never touches tobacco. He does not take bis meals anywhere in particular, but Bobemianises around, (he is a thorough Bohemian in the truest sense,) as is most convenient and circumstances prompt. It is a part of H. G.'s religion to be lieve he must writeat least two columns for the Tribune every day he is in town, aud he does it most faithfully. If he does not have the subjects he hunts tbem up. He enters the office with half a dozen articles in each eye, calls for the evening papers, cei tain favorite ex chttnges that are always at issue with bun. tilts up bis chair and begins to uinke Virginia worm fences in ink, which, with a dry humor characteristic of the man, he declares legible manu script. For the next four or five, per haps seven or eight hours, he is lost to the outer world, pays no attention to anybody who comes in, uuless some one he knows intimately, but scratches away rapidly aud wretchedly until he has said everything he desires. Then, i after writing "must go in" upon most ; of his matter, lie puts on his hat, ex presses a daily repeated, wish that he could get somebody to do what he wants done, and disappears for the night into unknown space. Several hundred volumes have been j written upon Mr. Greeley's peculiar and slovenly dress, which, like everything else connected with him, has been greatly caricatured. He is neither a Brutnmel nor a||D'Orsay sartorially. He wears old-fashioned clothes, and puts them on carelessly. His panta loons sometimes slip up to his boot tops, and his cravat on one side, but be Is too bosy to notice ?ach He U Krupalourfjoe?.

The Boston Fkjiale Clerks. A correspondent ol the Boston Transcript makes complaint against the female clerks In that city, which we have sometimes heard urged before, but we trust without sufficient reason. The correspondent says: -One day last week, I went with my wife to over twenty dry goods and trimming stores to match certain co lors lu a majority of cases we were treated uncivilly and aometimes with downright rudeness. Tba following ill-treatment?as we should call It l saw Inflicted upon her by women clerks. Three pointed to another part of the store without answering a word; one snapped ont "No," a toss of ber head; one kept on talking with a voung man and never looked to see It anybody was waiting; another chatted away even after she was plainly asked for some article, as though she did not hear; one (in a circulating libtary,) kept on reading to a friend some funny passage, three minutes after she was spoken to; and one, on a word being said as to tbe o.uallty of a ribon, de clared that "if a dollar had been asked, it would have been all right. 2Sow if some of these young women clerks had been you us men, I should have jerked them over their counters and pulled their noses and cuffed their ears, after | the style of correcting saucy boys and girls thirty years ago. But as they be- | long to tbe gentler (!) sex, myself aud wife choked down our vexation ami j waiked off, iu search of polite attend-j ants iu retail stores." MARHIEU.
