& TUESDAY, NOV. 10, 1868. W2HeEat IN CaLiFrornia.—The Overland Monthly for November has ‘an interesting article on the culture of wheat in California, which contains some excellent points, one of which we have often urged, Itis this: That on account of the ceasless and improvident farming, and succession of crops, without rest to the lands, the yield is greatly decreasing, and the quality must al80 become inferior.. Of course the total yield is increasing because every year new lands are brought under cultiva— tion, but thé avetage yield per acre on the older farms is probably decreased ‘one half; and if the present system of farming’ts ceditinned fortweity years longer, the older California farms will be-as worthless as the worn out tobacco fields of the South. As process for ‘clearing the lands and restoring its vigor norbetter or more profitable “crop can be ited than the sugar beet.— By altérhating with this crop the farmers will, in the‘cotirse’ of a few years make as much from a single crop \of wheat as they now do.from two years’ labor. The Overland Monthly says :— “The history of wheat culture is one of the most wonderfal chapters in the annals of Califot#ia: “In 1848, we raised nothing ;-bdt abandoned all agriculture in the search for gold. In 1858, we barely supported our own population. In 1868, we shall have a larger surplus than any. other State in the Union.— Wy. shall we dogk forward to? As railroads ‘are extended, and new ° sections broughif into market, will our supply @f toniiage become too small for us? Already this ‘question Jooms up before us,” Shall we build large clevators like those of Chicago, ‘at Panama and Agpinveall, ad “ship’ oar geuin in bulk by way of the Jethmus t@our sister Stites and to the.old world? Or will, the’ shores of the Pacific swarm wit “a population, in.time to. come, ample to consume our bountiful crops ?— Perhaps Chita ‘may “depart from the _ rigid customs of her ancestors,and some Providence that has cast our/lives in a land of such peace and plenty. THE NAMELESS .— While the Democratic papers and politicians, after the October elections, were discussing t and the substitufor thelatter, Andrew Johnson Yroposed a plan which at least _ has the merit of originality and which shows conclusively tliat A. J. still hankafter a'decond term, The plan sugby Johnson; as given by the National, Intelligencer. was to withdraw Seymour and Blair and ran a nameless tickét, voting for Electors and then allowing them to name their President, The merit of this was that though the voters Were “going it blind,” it gave Andy Johnson another chance. /Were it not for the satisfaction of beating the cite politician Seymour ands tender Blair) it would have given great satis~ faction to beat Johnson Ander his nameless ticket. He’ cond be represented nomore-eppropriately on a ticket than . : by a blank. 7 ete, \A New York domestic, being dissatisfied with the lonely situation of her employers house, twice fired the premwig @"s<48@8 to compel the family to remove intoa more populous district. .

So'much the worse for Demdcracy.— The old hulk has’nt got a gun left except the “Nigger States," and another round will knock her to “smithereens.” Throwing up the sponge is only a question of time with you. OFFictaAL VoTe.—The returns were canvassed by the Boerd of Supervisors yesterday. The official vote is just as published by us several days ago. THE GRAND JuRyY.—A Grand Jury was drawn yesterday and the Sheriff was ordered to summon them to meet. on next Thursday. ’ TrraL Jory—Eighteen trial jurors were ordered to be summoned for the 17th dnst. Hartson’s ELection.—A dispatch received in this city yesterday afternoon states that Lake county gives 209 Democratic majority. Former estimates place the Democratic majority in Lake at 361. This eleets Hartson beyond a doubt. CoLD WEATHER.—For two days past the weather has been extremely cold.— The ground has been covered every formed in some localities half an inch) thick. — x THANKSGIVING.—By Proclamation of the President, the 26th day of the presept menth has. been-set apart as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. We suppose Governor Haight will appoint the same day. CuRistMas CoMtna.—Nick Slocorted for San: Francis— large stock of goods suitable for Christmas times. He says he is determined to. get the best stock ever brought to Nevada county.

TrEgS.—We beard. an interesting a ee n yesterday, says the Grass Valley Union, of Baurday, about tree planting in California. It is known that the hickory, the chesnut, the pecan, the chinguapin and the black walnut will flourish vigorouslyin the altitude of Grass Vajley. -All these trees yield fine nuts, and are of great value for timber. We are told that near Aubutn, in Placer county, the persimon grows finely, and never fails to yield a large crop of that luscious and nutritious fruit. On Montgomery’s ranch in Penn Valley, in this county, the black walnut has a considerable crop. The only objection we lieard to planting these trees is that it takes too long for them to amountto anything, and that objection was made. in our hearing to the first apple orchard ‘set oat in Grass Valley. ‘ Tue National says Democracy has learned that it won’t do to nominate a statesman for President. Exactly—if Seymour is a statesman the country would be fortunate if it never had: one. The trouble is that Democracy and the . people disagree as to what constitutes a statesman, and they don’t believe Seymour ever was one. vada Battalion of Tanners are hereby ordered to meet at the Grant and Colfax Club room, on Tuesday evening ,Noveniber 10th, 1868, in full uniform, for the purpose of parading in honor of the recent glorious victories of the Union party—State and National. ga ~Let every member.be on hand promptly at 7 o'clock..
