GEN. JAOKSON ON MANUFACTURES.
Jaekson in 1824, is as true now ag it was on
the day on whicb it was spoken, with the
additional foren which the thonsunds of fertile
acres of grain land spread oat in oar Californiu
bruad valleys, and througbout. our Western
prairies, must give it. Let thn capitalists of
California rend it, and nct wisely in view of
thn trath it cortains :
“Take from our ogricultcre 600,000 mnn,
Woinen and children, to be employed in manufactories, and you will at once givon homn
inmarket for more breadstuffs than all Europn
now gives a3. Wo hayn been too long sabject
to the policy of British merchants. It is time
we should beeome a little more Aimerieanized.”
Wh havn onlimited water-power in Cnliforpia, as ebeap as ony in the world. We have
an abundancn of thn ruw material for wool
manufactnre, and soon shull be amply supplied
with honie-grown cottun ; or at least with tbat
which is grown on the Pucific Const. Let our
capitalists bnild ap manufactories ond they
will provide a market for our breadstufts, furnish opportunity for labor, nnd give a new
iinpetus to industry, nnd the employment of
capital generolly on tho Dueific Coast. For
thn information of those who have thought bot
little of tbese things, and who may be eurious
to know what capital employed in mnnufnetares will do, we copy tlie following statement
from tho proprietors of the San Francisco
Woolen Mills, which have been ranning only
seven years. ‘I'he disbursements hy the Missiun company have been ag follows :
For Cuatiforala wool.
For wages...06
For Mount Diablo co. «+ 81,u00
To mivhine shops of Sun Francisco « 78,800
To Inmber tlealers.scee soe $3421
Tw stone and brick makors 24.300
For sonp (Californla) 33,000
For oil 45,000
For lea 6 Oud
For taxcs... + 45,000
{n their statement introdaciug tbese statistics, the proprietors say, tbat during the montb
of Janunry last, the pay-roll amounted to nine
thousand seven huudred ond forty-two dollars.

Nirro-Guycertne Firreen Yrars Aco.—
‘A friend to whom we had loaned several old
nauibersa of the London Chenzist, and who has
been looking them over dariug tbe past
week, has called our nttention to the following
puragroph in the issue of that journal for Augnst, L851. ‘Lhe extract is the substance of
some remarks made by Dr. De Vry before the
“ British Association” for the advaneemeut of
science. ‘Their perusal at this jaactare, wil]
doubtless cause mueh surprise that the informade known to the public :
«This yellow l'quid, nitro-giyeerine, seenis
not to be poisonvas, bat it explodes at a moderate heat, as was shown by experimeut detonating when the drops of nitroglycerine on
paper were struck a sinart blow witb a hammer. From tbe conversation held before the
association, nitro-glyceriue appears like gan
cotton, fo have states of apparent inactivity,
which are moved by spontaneous causes; lor
preparations that resist a certain nmount of
force applied nt ono time, may readily explode
soon aflerwards !”
Had this peculinr property of nitro-glycerine,
whieh wns recognized when the oil was found
only in the laboratory, been remembered and
kept before tbe public after it became introdaced as a commercial article for blasting
porposes, the late terrible disasters might never
have oceurred. It would either bave been
more carefully bandled. or it would not have
been allowed to have found its way into public
conveyances at all.
Button to the amount of $144,111 was
shipped from the Gold Hilt, Nevada, express
office of Wells, Fargo & Co., duriug tbe week
ending June 9th.
