METEOROLOGICAL.—No country was ever blessed with more glorious weather than we are now enjoying. While our eastern kindred are shivering over their fires or facing the bleak blasts of November, we are basking under clear skies at summer heat, our dwellings all open, the pines on the hills standing motionless and their neighbor oaks still green. The warm season lingers Jong with us, in atonement fer its somewhat tardy arrival. There is hardly an indication of any kind te proclaim that the year has reached “the sere and yellow leaf.” The nights are delicious and tender as love-dreams, and the mornings lovely as these of spring. Those who watch the heavens with eyes of scientific ken, declwre that spots of unusual mag~ nitude are observable upon the sun, one of which is calculated to be 60,000 miles in diameter. Such a phenomenon is said to be generally followed by increased heat. This, if trne, may account for the extreme warmth of the present advanced season. Farther in the mountains, however, the weather is less . mild. The La Porte Ifessenger says ‘frosts at night and morning, and the dreary whisperings of the winds, plainly tell us that Autumn’s reign is over, and thattheapproach of old winter, he of visage grim, may soon be looked for.” cetie 7 Casnace Trees.-This is @ name popukarly given to a species of palm, which grows plentifully in the West Indies, some+ limes attaining the great hight of 150 er even 200 feet, while its trunk remains Very slender. The fteaves grow only at the top, and the young inner leaves fold up clesely like those of a cabbage, remaining very white and tender, and constituting an esteemed article of food. In California, we are likely to have a genuine cabbage tree. The cabbage plant lives in our climate all winter and the old stumps will preduce new keads the following summer. The San Andreas Independent describes one which, in five years, kas grown to ke nine feet high. The stalk has become hard as wood, and it bore this year about fifty or sixty heads of cabbages! The owner has also gathered from it every year quantities of first-rate . seed, and hundreds of plants which spring up spentaneously beneath its boughs. Can the world beat that? Sal The English papers, from the Zimes down, call for prompt and terrible vengeance on the Chinese for the affair at Peiho; but if the Celestial government has really disavowed responsibility for it, and made some blundering Mandarins atone for it with their lives, as is asserted, the pretext for another war will be removed, though England will probably require greater concessions than ever before. China must ultimately be swallowed up as India has been. The Times says it “must now and and forever be opened up to England and Englishmen!” Atlantic journals are as full of the Great Eastern as they were a year ago with the submarine cable, and the illustrated sheets are making money by the sale of stolen pictures, Frank Leslie's Pictorial running through an edition of 50,000 iu four days. pes Suecestions.—A peculiar feature of California journalism is its devotion to the material interests of the State, and the number of its suggestions for the increase of home productions. The most recent of these suggestions are: one for the introduction of the cranberry culture, for which our tuleswamps are thought to be well adapted ; one for the cultivation of leeches—not doctors, reader, but blood-suckers of a less formidable kind; and anoiber for the growth of that species of cactus upon which the cochineal insect feeds, for the purpose of raising home supplies of that dye-bug. 9+ — Puncu says: “ Flattery is the milk of human kindness turned into butter.” “ Heaven sent us woman, and France crinoline.” “The duty of government is, like Nature, to abhor a vacancy, and so to fili it up with the least possible delay.” “Simple Mr. Bowyer does not understand how the three crowns of the pope can possibly make a sovereign.” “A woman has often committed herself by talking—never by holding her tongue.” — ss The Stockton Republican describes a pow. erful ditch plow, which travels overland at . the rate of half a mile a day, leaving behind it a ditch twenty-eight inches deep and twenty-four wide, with a good sound water proof levee at the side. use of windlasses and oxen, and the owner will contract to make ditches and levees at the rate of fifty cents a rod, on even ground. New York City paid fourteen cents a piece for the killing of some eleven thousand dogs, during the past summer, and the Mexican government paid $328 for the taking off of nearly 54,000 scorpions in the State of Durango. fo SN NRA SEARO AERIS GRAZING LAND. . Yuba ‘Gb Roviie—ihe prospects of hay For the first time since the settlemient by ing aroad put through from Downieville to Americans of the rich bottoms along the Sa. the eastern siopé, By this route, are very facramento and San Joaquin rivers, they fail vorable. J. E. James, Sierra county surto afford sufficient pasturage for the herds of veyor, who lately made a thorough examincattle that seek theni. This assertion we ation and survey of the route, repurts that base upon the testimony of cotemporaries, a road twelve feet wide can be built ata upon that of travelers, and upon circumstances which have come under our own ‘nication in the Sierra Democrat asserts that observation. This failure is attributed by four feét and seVven-tenths of a fdot to the sume to the destructive visitation of grasshundred is as steep a3 a single rdd of road hoppers and the increased quantity of stock, . teed be té reach the sunimit. The same arboth of which have doubtless had their in. ticle tepresents that a good solid road can fluence; but the paramount cause, im our , be made up the sowth fork of the Yuba river opinion, is to be found in the fact that the ‘at fat Jess expense than the same distance land mestioned has been too long fed upon . was made down tke river from Downieville without the grass being allowed a chance} on the Sictra Turnpike. The hight of the for recuperation. It has been gnawed down, .

Marysville to Washoe Valley is estimated to gtadually robbing the el roets of vitality, . ‘be one hundred and fifty miles. The writer antil at last the growth has become meager , already quoted says, in reference to the adand insufficient, not enduring weil beyond vantages ef the route for winter travel, that the season of moisture. This is probably loaded teams can cross to the eastern valtrue of other pasture lands in California, ‘leys on the first day of May in every season, even as far south as San Bernardino, and and in many such winters as we have he ought to attract carly attention with a view , thinks the road will not be closed at all durcdést not to exceed $53,086 44. A comniu. It is worked by the . to the discovery of aremedy. The amount of stock in the State has this_year been horses, mules and sheep. All these mouths must be as sately provided for as though they belonged to human beings. heretofore bountiful plains yield but stinted supplies, their fertility must be restored or supplies sought elsewhere. As the easiest expedient, numerous herds of stock have been driven from the great valieys named to the linked sisterhood of small valleys whicb lie between the eastern . and western summits of the Sierra Nevada, . forming a broken plateau that extends the . whole length of the State, or on to the nearer flats which lie aiong the head waters of the various streams flowing westward. A good share of the emigrant stovk has remained till now on these mountain pastures, while some of it came no farther than the valleys of Western Utah. The relief thus afforded to the depleted pasture lands of our great valleys, can be but temporary. Much . of the summit and eastern slope pasture land will soon be cultivated to supply fruit and vegetables to the new communities of Western Utah, and the remainder will be chiefly fenced for hay crops. If the experiment of sowing the best of our now useless hill-sides with grass, clover or alfalfa is ever . successfully made, the difficulty we are dis. cussing will be readily overcome. Meanupon the regions named at the beginning of these remarks, they should be recuperated by such means as experience teaches are the most efficient. There should be more land . fenced and allowed to seed itsvlf. should be ploughed and cropped, and then . . . pasture. In this way the farmers and stock . ranchers of the lower country can retriev . . ber of cattle. Fencing alone would protect a great deal of fine pasturage from decay, scattered herds. These ideas are not advanced as novel or infallible, but as suggestions meant to be useful, if only in attracting the attention of better informed or more competent persons. a Amapor Apvyaxcixg.—The total amount of taxable property in Amador county is . $2,415,809 75, being an increase over last . year of $398,937 75. The Assessor in his report says, that, although the uncertainty _of the title to the larger portion of good arable land in the county has acted asa . great drawback, still theagricultural portion 'of the county has gained in wealth much . faster than the mining portion. An association of Jewish citizens at San . Francisco have agreed to tax themselves fif. ty cents monthly, each, for the support of a . Hebrew educational institute. This is much more manly than to found a denominational or sectarian school, and then ask the public to endow it as a catholic college. sic JS AS Sekt Ta About forty per cent of the annual mor‘tality of Great Britain is that of children under five years of age. In London, a life 'is sacrificed by accident nearly every half hour. j -e The Supreme Court has decided that a flume leading to a mining claim is nota part of the claim, and is not, therefore, exempt from taxation as such. One thousand cattle belonging to Dr. Gillett, of Camptonville, passed through Carson City on the 30th ult. Bayard Taylor lectured forty-five hundred California dollars into his pocket. He will make good use of them. _ OO Another great industrial exhibition will probably be held in London in 1862. illcst . and amusing reports ‘rom individuals cf the , party which has just returned from a survey i .

The trip appears to have been full of incidents, which are waggishly told. Bro. Forbes, of the Democrat, whose saddle-bags or head must have contained a whole library of the poets, waxes poetical on the subject, dividing his narrative into chapters, ene for each camp, which are introduced by appropriate quotations, Falstaff’s description of his ragged regiment serving for a fancy sketch of the jolly road viewers. The party made a starter, with its veracious chroniclers, at a gate-post on Jersey Flat, where Forbes, who acted as rodman, “raised the target rod with as profound a sense of the nitimate importance of the act as impressed him of old when he held aloft the serpent before wondering Israel.” The advantages of the camp are thus set forth: “Found the camp located on a sharp bluff, where the surrounding territory had been ; Sluiced off. Two stumps served to keep the } i i while, as we depend so much for grazing . to thei . . fire from going over the bank, and the cook held on to the brush with one hand while he got supper with the other. A bad selection of a camping ground. The mules held r places by standing in full-run posture and fastening their teeth on the chapparel,” os Cati¥ors1A Woot.—The New York 7ribune Some Of Sept. 22nd says, “A large lot of superior California Wool has claimed the attention of brokers and manufacturers, and considseeded to domestic grasses, which will prove ' erable sales have been effected at an advance far superior to the wild growths for hay or . in prices. Manufacturers that have tested these Wools find them desirable, as the shrinkage is less than in most other kinds © . of unwashed Wools, and they are therefore . much land now comparatively worthless, . rapidly coming into good repute. We unand feed upon a smaller area a large num. derstand that much attention has, during the last season, been devoted to the improvement of the breed of sheep, by the importation of fine bucks from Australia, and and utilize for other purposes thousands of we shall not be surprised if, before many acres which are now abandoned to widely . years, this staple should form one of its most important exports. Indeed, judging from the lot above alluded to, amount to half a million pounds, it has already become so. We would suggest to influential agriculturists, and others interested in the permanent prosperity of this young and thriving State, that they can in no better Way promote the same than by the encouragement of sheep husbandry.” Sie ee eee wanes Coxsotipation.—By the National Democrat we learn that a resolution has been passed by the City Council of Marysville, authorising publication of a notice requesting the people to assemble at the City Hall to-day, for the purpose of considering the expediency of consolidating the city and county under one government. The Democrat presents economical afguments in favor of tne project. nS a 0 ee en The Pacific Railroad Committee recommend the formation of a company to construct a railway from San Francisco to Stockton, through the counties of San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda and San Joaquin, a distance of 130 miles. The cost is roughly stated at $5,000,000. The road will be preliminary to one reaching the eastern border of the State. 2-9-2 ~. There is an extensive mountain of marble in Butte county, on the Middle Fork of Feather river, some distance above Bidwell Bar, according to the Record, which paper urges the contribution of a block to the Washington monument. A correspondent of the Bulletin says that the liquor trade has fallen off sixty-six and two-thirds per cent., in Sacramento, since the decision of the Senatorial question. ; The lucky foot-racer at Downieville won only $180, instead of $500, as we stated on report last week. Tit Horx.—Not long ago we contributed to the world’s stock of knowledge the importatit fact that the Methodists of North San Juan called the people to church by tooting a long tin hort. Ever since this was divulged, dur cotenporaries of the press have been petpettating all sorts of witticisms—tooting their horns over our horns very amusingly ; though some of the puns got off are very aricient, and expressive of a8 fiuch bibacity as vivacity. For the satisfaction of all editorial jokers, we will temark the hori of the Godly has beer put down, and a bell procured in its stead ; but before leiving the prolific subject we must let the Butte Democrat have its say: The sound of the old tin horn serves td remind one of the past ard the future’ Id Yankeedom; its ever welcome sound wad wont to call the husbandman from his field; to partake of the goed things which were prepared for his repast. The sate sound; too, heralded the appreack of the stage, or postmian, with the newspapers and letters, always an event of importance. Such are the reminiscences ef the past. But the tooting of the horn, for religious purposes} is intended, perhaps, to rertiind all of us “miserable sinners,” of that tremendous blast with which the Ange! Gabriel will, one. day, arouse a buried world. The people of North San Juan, therefore, and all other ungodly places; shovld give heed to the sound of the “ {ong tin horn,” and attend church, instead of running after ‘Horns’ of a different character: se . Jou Crinamax at THE Bat.—The objections td the presence in our midst of the obnoxious Chinese are net cdnfined to the mining regions. Patties in San Francisco are circulatirg for signatures a remonstrance aimed against the eriployment of Chinese labor in sttch a way as to come in competi+ tion with the labor of white men. On this the Zclegram thus sensibly comments: : “ We cannot agree with the getters-up of this remonstrance in the assumption that white mechanics have anything to fear front the competition of Chinese, but we agree with them in this: that, ‘ineligible to the franchises of citizenship, politically considered, they are an urinattiral element in the body politic; an incumbrance, and a great injury.’ ; We have altvays held that to encourage the settlement among us df a latge body of people who by our laws are justly denied the privileges of citizenship, and are ever denied equal rights in the Courts, would be an exhibition of bad political economy, and we will heartily second any movement having for its object to prevent the increase of such undesirable population. Still, as we have allowed a certain number of Chinesé to come here, and as the General Government has ever invited them té come, with promises of protection while Here, it would be in the highest degree unjust for Americans to oppress and ill-tredt theni now that they are among us.” i Bricas’ OncHanv.—Horecé Greeley gives the following account of tis great fruitery near Marysville. If his statistics are correct, Mr. Briggs can well afford to subscribe $25,000 to the Matysville and San Francised Railroad, as he is said to have done: “The orchard of Mr. Briggs, for example; covers 160 acres, allin young fruit, probably. one-half peaches. He has had a squad of thirty or forty men picking and boxing peaches for the last month, yet his fruit by the cartload ripens and rots ungathered. The wagons which convey it to the mines have their regular stations and relays of horses like mail stages, and are thus pulled sixty miles up rough mountain passes, pet day, where twenty-five miles would be 4& heavy day’s work for any oneteam. But he is not sending to the mines only, but by steamboat to Sacramento and San Franciscd as well. His sales last year, I am told, amounted to $90,000; his net income was not less than $40,000. And this was real ized mainly from peaches; apricots and nectarines; his apples and péafs have barely begun to bear; his cherries will yield their first crop next year. Reva tee ares rer ences eee A Great Man Wantpp.—That is what Carlyle thinks, and what tle Marysville Democrat sa¥s ‘vith reference to the Presidericy of the United States. Hear it: “We have had small fry tong enovgl. We seé no reason why men of distinguished abilities in the councils of the Nation shduld not be stlected to administet the Government. They are certainly mote ¢apable thai smaller men, attd, as for Honesty, out greatest men have always been our most honorable and high minded representatives. It is the little pitiful specimens of huritanity; known as mere politicians, who have invariably plundered the publictreasury, betrayed their party and disgraced their country. Let us have no more fourth and fifth rate men in intellect and A No. 1 in meanness and treachery: The Goverffment worked well it éarlie? days, under the management of our great men. Let us try it once again, and see if we cannot substitute once more patriotism for piddling politics and sneaking featheryour nestism. Thé country dertdnds a great man at the héim of the Government.” Immigratiott over the Southern Overland routé is large this year. Immigrants pfoceed leisurely, as they have plenty of water, owing to the wells made by the mail compahy. It is estimated that 15,000 persons will entet California this season by this. fouté, With a Iarge number of cat le and sheep.

METEOROLOGICAL.—No country was ever blessed with more glorious weather than we are now enjoying. While our eastern kindred are shivering over their fires or facing the bleak blasts of November, we are basking under clear skies at summer heat, our dwellings all open, the pines on the hills standing motionless and their neighbor oaks still green. The warm season lingers Jong with us, in atonement fer its somewhat tardy arrival. There is hardly an indication of any kind te proclaim that the year has reached “the sere and yellow leaf.” The nights are delicious and tender as love-dreams, and the mornings lovely as these of spring. Those who watch the heavens with eyes of scientific ken, declwre that spots of unusual mag~ nitude are observable upon the sun, one of which is calculated to be 60,000 miles in diameter. Such a phenomenon is said to be generally followed by increased heat. This, if trne, may account for the extreme warmth of the present advanced season. Farther in the mountains, however, the weather is less . mild. The La Porte Ifessenger says ‘frosts at night and morning, and the dreary whisperings of the winds, plainly tell us that Autumn’s reign is over, and thattheapproach of old winter, he of visage grim, may soon be looked for.” cetie 7 Casnace Trees.-This is @ name popukarly given to a species of palm, which grows plentifully in the West Indies, some+ limes attaining the great hight of 150 er even 200 feet, while its trunk remains Very slender. The fteaves grow only at the top, and the young inner leaves fold up clesely like those of a cabbage, remaining very white and tender, and constituting an esteemed article of food. In California, we are likely to have a genuine cabbage tree. The cabbage plant lives in our climate all winter and the old stumps will preduce new keads the following summer. The San Andreas Independent describes one which, in five years, kas grown to ke nine feet high. The stalk has become hard as wood, and it bore this year about fifty or sixty heads of cabbages! The owner has also gathered from it every year quantities of first-rate . seed, and hundreds of plants which spring up spentaneously beneath its boughs. Can the world beat that? Sal The English papers, from the Zimes down, call for prompt and terrible vengeance on the Chinese for the affair at Peiho; but if the Celestial government has really disavowed responsibility for it, and made some blundering Mandarins atone for it with their lives, as is asserted, the pretext for another war will be removed, though England will probably require greater concessions than ever before. China must ultimately be swallowed up as India has been. The Times says it “must now and and forever be opened up to England and Englishmen!” Atlantic journals are as full of the Great Eastern as they were a year ago with the submarine cable, and the illustrated sheets are making money by the sale of stolen pictures, Frank Leslie's Pictorial running through an edition of 50,000 iu four days. pes Suecestions.—A peculiar feature of California journalism is its devotion to the material interests of the State, and the number of its suggestions for the increase of home productions. The most recent of these suggestions are: one for the introduction of the cranberry culture, for which our tuleswamps are thought to be well adapted ; one for the cultivation of leeches—not doctors, reader, but blood-suckers of a less formidable kind; and anoiber for the growth of that species of cactus upon which the cochineal insect

feeds, for the purpose of raising home supplies of that dye-bug. 9+ — Puncu says: “ Flattery is the milk of human kindness turned into butter.” “ Heaven sent us woman, and France crinoline.” “The duty of government is, like Nature, to abhor a vacancy, and so to fili it up with the least possible delay.” “Simple Mr. Bowyer does not understand how the three crowns of the pope can possibly make a sovereign.” “A woman has often committed herself by talking—never by holding her tongue.” — ss The Stockton Republican describes a pow. erful ditch plow, which travels overland at . the rate of half a mile a day, leaving behind it a ditch twenty-eight inches deep and twenty-four wide, with a good sound water proof levee at the side. use of windlasses and oxen, and the owner will contract to make ditches and levees at the rate of fifty cents a rod, on even ground. New York City paid fourteen cents a piece for the killing of some eleven thousand dogs, during the past summer, and the Mexican government paid $328 for the taking off of nearly 54,000 scorpions in the State of Durango. fo SN NRA SEARO AERIS GRAZING LAND. . Yuba ‘Gb Roviie—ihe prospects of hay For the first time since the settlemient by ing aroad put through from Downieville to Americans of the rich bottoms along the Sa. the eastern siopé, By this route, are very facramento and San Joaquin rivers, they fail vorable.

This assertion we ation and survey of the route, repurts that base upon the testimony of cotemporaries, a road twelve feet wide can be built ata upon that of travelers, and upon circumstances which have come under our own ‘nication in the Sierra Democrat asserts that observation. This failure is attributed by four feét and seVven-tenths of a fdot to the sume to the destructive visitation of grasshundred is as steep a3 a single rdd of road hoppers and the increased quantity of stock, . teed be té reach the sunimit. The same arboth of which have doubtless had their in. ticle tepresents that a good solid road can fluence; but the paramount cause, im our , be made up the sowth fork of the Yuba river opinion, is to be found in the fact that the ‘at fat Jess expense than the same distance land mestioned has been too long fed upon . was made down tke river from Downieville without the grass being allowed a chance} on the Sictra Turnpike.

The writer antil at last the growth has become meager , already quoted says, in reference to the adand insufficient, not enduring weil beyond vantages ef the route for winter travel, that the season of moisture. This is probably loaded teams can cross to the eastern valtrue of other pasture lands in California, ‘leys on the first day of May in every season, even as far south as San Bernardino, and and in many such winters as we have he ought to attract carly attention with a view , thinks the road will not be closed at all durcdést not to exceed $53,086 44. A comniu. It is worked by the . to the discovery of aremedy. The amount of stock in the State has this_year been horses, mules and sheep. All these mouths must be as sately provided for as though they belonged to human beings. heretofore bountiful plains yield but stinted supplies, their fertility must be restored or supplies sought elsewhere. As the easiest expedient, numerous herds of stock have been driven from the great valieys named to the linked sisterhood of small valleys whicb lie between the eastern . and western summits of the Sierra Nevada, . forming a broken plateau that extends the . whole length of the State, or on to the nearer flats which lie aiong the head waters of the various streams flowing westward. A good share of the emigrant stovk has remained till now on these mountain pastures, while some of it came no farther than the valleys of Western Utah. The relief thus afforded to the depleted pasture lands of our great valleys, can be but temporary. Much . of the summit and eastern slope pasture land will soon be cultivated to supply fruit and vegetables to the new communities of Western Utah, and the remainder will be chiefly fenced for hay crops. If the experiment of sowing the best of our now useless hill-sides with grass, clover or alfalfa is ever . successfully made, the difficulty we are dis. cussing will be readily overcome. Meanupon the regions named at the beginning of these remarks, they should be recuperated by such means as experience teaches are the most efficient. There should be more land . fenced and allowed to seed itsvlf. should be ploughed and cropped, and then . . . pasture. In this way the farmers and stock . ranchers of the lower country can retriev . . ber of cattle. Fencing alone would protect a great deal of fine pasturage from decay, scattered herds. These ideas are not advanced as novel or infallible, but as suggestions meant to be useful, if only in attracting the attention of better informed or more competent persons. a Amapor Apvyaxcixg.—The total amount of taxable property in Amador county is . $2,415,809 75, being an increase over last . year of $398,937 75. The Assessor in his report says, that, although the uncertainty _of the title to the larger portion of good arable land in the county has acted asa . great drawback, still theagricultural portion 'of the county has gained in wealth much . faster than the mining portion. An association of Jewish citizens at San . Francisco have agreed to tax themselves fif. ty cents monthly, each, for the support of a . Hebrew educational institute. This is much more manly than to found a denominational or sectarian school, and then ask the public to endow it as a catholic college. sic JS AS Sekt Ta About forty per cent of the annual mor‘tality of Great Britain is that of children under five years of age. In London, a life 'is sacrificed by accident nearly every half hour. j -e The Supreme Court has decided that a flume leading to a mining claim is nota part of the claim, and is not, therefore, exempt from taxation as such. One thousand cattle belonging to Dr. Gillett, of Camptonville, passed through Carson City on the 30th ult. Bayard Taylor lectured forty-five hundred California dollars into his pocket.

The trip appears to have been full of incidents, which are waggishly told. Bro. Forbes, of the Democrat, whose saddle-bags or head must have contained a whole library of the poets, waxes poetical on the subject, dividing his narrative into chapters, ene for each camp, which are introduced by appropriate quotations, Falstaff’s description of his ragged regiment serving for a fancy sketch of the jolly road viewers. The party made a starter, with its veracious chroniclers, at a gate-post on Jersey Flat, where Forbes, who acted as rodman, “raised the target rod with as profound a sense of the nitimate importance of the act as impressed him of old when he held aloft the serpent before wondering Israel.” The advantages of the camp are thus set forth: “Found the camp located on a sharp bluff, where the surrounding territory had been ; Sluiced off. Two stumps served to keep the } i i while, as we depend so much for grazing . to thei . . fire from going over the bank, and the cook held on to the brush with one hand while he got supper with the other. A bad selection of a camping ground. The mules held r places by standing in full-run posture and fastening their teeth on the chapparel,” os Cati¥ors1A Woot.—The New York 7ribune Some Of Sept. 22nd says, “A large lot of superior California Wool has claimed the attention of brokers and manufacturers, and considseeded to domestic grasses, which will prove ' erable sales have been effected at an advance far superior to the wild growths for hay or . in prices. Manufacturers that have tested these Wools find them desirable, as the shrinkage is less than in most other kinds © . of unwashed Wools, and they are therefore . much land now comparatively worthless, . rapidly coming into good repute. We unand feed upon a smaller area a large num. derstand that much attention has, during the last season, been devoted to the improvement of the breed of sheep, by the importation of fine bucks from Australia, and and utilize for other purposes thousands of we shall not be surprised if, before many acres which are now abandoned to widely . years, this staple should form one of its most important exports. Indeed, judging from the lot above alluded to, amount to half a million pounds, it has already become so. We would suggest to influential agriculturists, and others interested in the permanent prosperity of this young and thriving State, that they can in no better Way promote the same than by the encouragement of sheep husbandry.” Sie ee eee wanes Coxsotipation.—By the National Democrat we learn that a resolution has been passed by the City Council of Marysville, authorising publication of a notice requesting the people to assemble at the City Hall to-day, for the purpose of considering the expediency of consolidating the city and county under one government. The Democrat presents economical afguments in favor of tne project. nS a 0 ee en The Pacific Railroad Committee recommend the formation of a company to construct a railway from San Francisco to Stockton, through the counties of San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda and San Joaquin, a distance of 130 miles. The cost is roughly stated at $5,000,000. The road will be preliminary to one reaching the eastern border of the State. 2-9-2 ~. There is an extensive mountain of marble in Butte county, on the Middle Fork of Feather river, some distance above Bidwell Bar, according to the Record, which paper urges the contribution of a block to the Washington monument. A correspondent of the Bulletin says that the liquor trade has fallen off sixty-six and two-thirds per cent., in Sacramento, since the decision of the Senatorial question. ; The lucky foot-racer at Downieville won only $180, instead of $500, as we stated on report last week. Tit Horx.—Not long ago we contributed to the world’s stock of knowledge the importatit fact that the Methodists of North San Juan called the people to church by tooting a long tin hort. Ever since this was divulged, dur cotenporaries of the press have been petpettating all sorts of witticisms—tooting their horns over our horns very amusingly ; though some of the puns got off are very aricient, and expressive of a8 fiuch bibacity as vivacity. For the satisfaction of all editorial jokers, we will temark the hori of the Godly has beer put down, and a bell procured in its stead ; but before leiving the prolific subject we must let the Butte Democrat have its say: The sound of the old tin horn serves td remind one of the past ard the future’ Id Yankeedom; its ever welcome sound wad wont to call the husbandman from his field; to partake of the goed things which were prepared for his repast. The sate sound; too, heralded the appreack of the stage, or postmian, with the newspapers and letters, always an event of importance. Such are the reminiscences ef the past. But the tooting of the horn, for religious purposes} is intended, perhaps, to rertiind all of us “miserable sinners,” of that tremendous blast with which the Ange! Gabriel will, one. day, arouse a buried world. The people of North San Juan, therefore, and all other ungodly places; shovld give heed to the sound of the “ {ong tin horn,” and attend church, instead of running after ‘Horns’ of a different character: se . Jou Crinamax at THE Bat.—The objections td the presence in our midst of the obnoxious Chinese are net cdnfined to the mining regions. Patties in San Francisco are circulatirg for signatures a remonstrance aimed against the eriployment of Chinese labor in sttch a way as to come in competi+ tion with the labor of white men. On this the Zclegram thus sensibly comments: : “ We cannot agree with the getters-up of this remonstrance in the assumption that white mechanics have anything to fear front the competition of Chinese, but we agree with them in this: that, ‘ineligible to the franchises of citizenship, politically considered, they are an urinattiral element in the body politic; an incumbrance, and a great injury.’ ; We have altvays held that to encourage the settlement among us df a latge body of people who by our laws are justly denied the privileges of citizenship, and are ever denied equal rights in the Courts, would be an exhibition of bad political economy, and we will heartily second any movement having for its object to prevent the increase of such undesirable population. Still, as we have allowed a certain number of Chinesé to come here, and as the General Government has ever invited them té come, with promises of protection while Here, it would be in the highest degree unjust for Americans to oppress and ill-tredt theni now that they are among us.” i Bricas’ OncHanv.—Horecé Greeley gives the following account of tis great fruitery near Marysville. If his statistics are correct, Mr. Briggs can well afford to subscribe $25,000 to the Matysville and San Francised Railroad, as he is said to have done: “The orchard of Mr. Briggs, for example; covers 160 acres, allin young fruit, probably. one-half peaches. He has had a squad of thirty or forty men picking and boxing peaches for the last month, yet his fruit by the cartload ripens and rots ungathered. The wagons which convey it to the mines have their regular stations and relays of horses like mail stages, and are thus pulled sixty miles up rough mountain passes, pet day, where twenty-five miles would be 4& heavy day’s work for any oneteam. But he is not sending to the mines only, but by steamboat to Sacramento and San Franciscd as well. His sales last year, I am told, amounted to $90,000; his net income was not less than $40,000. And this was real ized mainly from peaches; apricots and nectarines; his apples and péafs have barely begun to bear; his cherries will yield their first crop next year. Reva tee ares rer ences eee A Great Man Wantpp.—That is what Carlyle thinks, and what tle Marysville Democrat sa¥s ‘vith reference to the Presidericy of the United States. Hear it: “We have had small fry tong enovgl. We seé no reason why men of distinguished abilities in the councils of the Nation shduld not be stlected to administet the Government. They are certainly mote ¢apable thai smaller men, attd, as for Honesty, out greatest men have always been our most honorable and high minded representatives. It is the little pitiful specimens of huritanity; known as mere politicians, who have invariably plundered the publictreasury, betrayed their party and disgraced their country.
