The Sacramento Union compares the mining aad agricaltural couaties «of the State, and shows tbat while all-of -the former, with ‘the ‘exception of Ne” «vada and Placer, have deelined in wealth, the agricultural eounties have shown a rapid -itcrease, The.article -concludes as follows: How long shall the mining counties continue to decline? We think they will take « new departure on the basis of agriculture, and before the present) ‘decade is entled show emcouraging signs of prosperity. ‘and now is comparatively witkout value ia that part of the State, and yet it is good land for fruits, the vine, vegetables, and in ge places for n and as any fn the State. It is better timbered than the valleys, has the healthiest climate in the world, abundance of ‘water power and lumbering resources,and n only good roads and cheap trans— to put it on a par with the ow lands which exhibit such a pleasing increase in wealth;:9bere land is now rating as high as on the Illinois Central or Chicago and Northwestern railways. While the facts stated by the Union are correct, we do not agree that the wining districts must rely upon agriculture for prosperity. Other causes " than the declining yield of the mines must be found for the apparent decrease _ im wealth. At the time selected. by the Union us showing the value of property in the mines, namely, eleven “years ago, miming as then conducted, was in its glory; agriculture in its infancy. Surface claims were yielding largely, and the miners were taking out the gold and scattering it with “ liberal hand. Besides, property in.the mining locations was assessed at most ‘extravagant figures, and-as money accumulated rapidly, no one objected. At that time lands and other property in the agricultural districts were loosely asseased and rated far below its value. A compe rison of the assessment rolls is therefore hardly a just method of ascertaining comparative values through the only one we have. Notwithstanding all this, the yieli of the mines has continued, though the system of mining has almost entirely changed. Miniug,as now conducted in eur extensive hydraulic and quartz claims, is not an older industry than agricalture, and this enterprise.still offersa large field for en} terprise. Nevada county alone has mining resources enough for the employment of five times the capital and population we now have, and advantages for agriculture, horticulture and grazing, to give employment to as many more. When rock worth six to eight dollars per ton can be worked at a profit, living becomes cheap, and capital, instead of being used for stock jobbing, isinvested for the development of resources, these results will speedily follow. Itis not the decline in mineral wealth that has prostrate) the mining counties, it is high taxes, great cost of living, waste in working, expensive and bad management, and the use of capital for speculation that has retarded the development of the mines. When mining is conducted as other business, bringing to bear the same energy, enterprise and intelligence in the work, we shall have <rapid progress in this industry, even in those counties which have.suffered mogt heavily. It is therefore wrong for tlie miners to think of taking a “new departure on the basis of agriculture,” as the Union suggests, to remedy the evil. Miners are now enabled to procure titles to their ground, Let them plant and wash, and the garden, orchard and the \ will flourish beside the quartz @ gravel mine. Agriculture, "and mining will flourish with manufactaring in the mining counties, and we shall then be able to keep some of our gold at home for permanent improvement, and “good times will come again.” With all the advantages mentioned by the Union, in the extract we have quoted, there is no reason wh Nevide an should not be seein! the most pop wealthy, as it is Sas Gtetsl: ‘Suundy, Saterpen' end tx , on ntelligence, with well directed labor, will Meme . 2 Bop raising hed not boon « prSatable ‘business in this locality, for therresson ‘that hops have been quite low since /the cultivation was commented.

The-report of the Agricaltural Department for September informs us that “California is the only State that reports increased acreage in this product. Ohbio claimsan undimin‘shed acreage, but ‘all the other hopgrowing regions show a decline of 5 to gan,15. The condition at date of reporting was generally 5 to 15 per. cent. below an average.” With so large decrease both in extent and quality of crops, there will be a good prospect for higher prices. oe aE Roll of Honor. The following are the names of pupils who are on the Roll of Honor for the month ending October 7th : ~Miss Palmer’s school—Julia Madigan, Louisa Shaffer, Charlie Kent, Mattie Gregory, Lizzie Hutchison, Emma Ott, Harry Lawrence, Emily King, John Shaffer, Liewallyn Boardman, Eda Rosenthal, Mattie Hartman. Miss Edwards’ school—George Black, Moses Goldsmith, Nellie Clark, Willie Quigley, Ferdie Stumpf, Annie Webber, Chris Webber, George Pascoe, Josie Hoffman, Ella Hamilton, Elvira Hamilton, Clara Man. Mining at Colfax. . . : Just beyond the Bear River crossing, on the Placer side and a short pecting for quartz has been done. From the Stars and Stripes we learn that the Rising Sun claim has a substantial five stamp quartz mill, hoisting works ‘and every improvement for saving gold. Since the mine was located in 1868 the yield has been 65,000 and the expenditures $96,500, which, considering a large sum has been expeuded in opening the mine and improvements, is encouraging. Some of the rock has paid as high as $500 perton. The Montana isin the same locality as the Rising Sun, and the owners are encouraged by developments so fer, though not so extensive, and a mill is to be erected on the ground. District Court, Oct, 7th, Reuben Thomas,a native of England, was naturalized. The trial jury heretofore ordered was discharged for the term, J. Davies vs. R. B. Gentry et als, Injunction heretofere issued, modified so so asto permit Gentry to makea deed to Hemphill & Co., and deposit the same in Court—the deed to be delivered on conditions that they recover. Court adjourned to Monday, Oct. 10, -at 10 o’clock. peo A Quail Hunter. ' . Davis used to be accounted a crack rifle shot, but we had no idea he had such a dead thing on birds as he appears to have. A day or two since he started out into hie orchard and a quail came down to him without a shot. He had no sooner opened the door than the ‘bird few in and suffered itself to be captured. Who now doubts the story of the Kentucky hunter, who raised his piece toshoot a coon, and his coonship ‘said, “Hold on, don’t shoot, mister—I’ll come down,” Cranberries, Thos, Shurtleff yesterday sent usa sample of cranberrjes just received from the East. They are not packed in bar. rele as usual, but just as faesh as when gathered. Those who want excellent sauce or pies should call at Shurtleff’s. a More Fires, We learn from Mr. Hawley, who resides on the ridge, that extensive fires have been burning for some time’ in the woods on the banks of the Middle Yuba, ia Sierra county. ‘ UNDER the ceasus to be taken April 1st, 1871, the population of London is three and three quartet millions, Her Wisa.—A little girl was heard to wish the other day, “that she was a boy, so she swear when she dropmake it all this. et ped her beoks in the mud.” ‘15 per cent.— Wisconsin, -10;—Michidistance from Colfax considerable prosexpected to fall httle, if any, short of} from John F. Swift appeats in the Stars and Stripes. :He says the French annaal budget wag made up for subsisting 1,300,000 men, bat that when the war commenced only 300,000 men could be sent to the front. The writer says: I knew this, becauge the battles of Woerth, Foabach and Wiessenburg showed it beyond a doubt: But I did not know that the arsenals of France were empty of reserve guns, and that its magazines were innocent of cartridges. I did not know that when Paris would be threatened there would be no muskets for the people, and that even the cartridges there, though few in number, wou -” be on ee things, often without a n of powder or the pretense ofa ball. Se mach for the government of one man . He says that a citizen of France who attempted to expose these frauds was suspected of hatred and contempt for the Empire and locked up im prisen. Of Paris he says: Baron Hausman, late’ Prefect of the Seine, a great favorite of the Emperor, ruled in Paris since the E was established ; indeed, he was called “the little Emperer.” He spent such sums of money that I hardly dare to write} them down. He left her owing no less than five hundred millions of dollars! In doing all this he delighted his master, and at last went out of office with a fortune of three hundred millions of francs! This fortune is well proven to exist, and it is only exceeded by that of the Emperor himself, who has secarities in the bank of England to the value of five hundred millions, to say nothing of the estate at “Seven Oaks,” near London, to which he will retire as soon as he is released by the King of Prussia. ¢ But all these things are looked upon as quite legitimate in Europe. Royal persons are justified in beginning to steal the very day they are enthroned, and to lay aside the people’s money for themselves to spend when deposed. Even ‘Count Palikao, who had been Minister of War —four weeks when the Republic threw him overboard, had already, so it is said, stolen ever two million frances. As bees commence making honey before they have been an hour in a new hive, so do Imperial officials avail thettiselves of each moment to lay up stores for future use. The stealing begins with the opening of the public safe the first time. This then, when all put together, is enough to account alone for the great French disasters. The Empire was like a rotten pear ; when it could hang no longer upon the tree it felloff. S “WEATHER SIGNS,—Tne Grass Valley Union has the following: Now is the time to purchase hay and grain for the Winter supply. Immense loads are arriving in Grass Valley every day, and prices are lower now thaa they will bé a month hence Prudent people prepare for hard Winters. .The wood rats are building their Winter's nests high up this Fall; wild geese fly south with much noise; squirrels and wood-peckers have lain up extra supplies of nuts, and the Digger Indians even have gathered extra qnantities of acorhs. All these actions of the animals governed by instinct should warn man, governed by reason, to supply himself plentifully with grain. The juice of the grain may answer the purpose. War News.—The late dispatches contain little of importance. A telegram from Amiens says: On Monday the French made a brilliant_sortie from Soimsons and drove back the Prussians a considerable dis, tance, burned their supplies and shelter, and having effected these exploits, returned witbin the gates of Soissons, Another column of Germans, who marched to Fontainebleau were ambushed, routed, and driven back with serious loss to Chailly, which the Germans now occupy.
