CALrFoRNIA.-Th northern part of California is
said to be as fine country as Kentucky, with a
miIder climate, as the latitude 40 on the Pacific
agrees with the same latitude in southern Europe.
There are Indians on the wellwooded streams, who
have never seen the face Of white man, and North
California is capable of supporting population as
large as the whole southern States. II is remarked
by Humboldt, that the people of the provinces Of
New Spain are altogether dissmar to the mixed
and Indian race of the southern provinces, and that
an irreconciable aniipathy prevails between them.
The northern Mexicans Of the purest white race,
from the northern part Of Span descendants of the
Goths OF Biscay and CASTLE, kin to the Saxon.

CoTToN FACToRIEs IN NEW YORK.

Public attention is being directed to the establish
ment OF cotton mills in this city. The profits OF
manufacturing are superior those Of any other
cnpation at the present time. A writer in yester-
days Courier, taking precisely the same ground
that we did some days ago, says
81 wish you would call the attention of some Of
our capitalists to the propriety Establishing steam,
cotton aud teootlen mills the upper part of this cy
Jersey City, or Brooklyn.
at is well known that the cotton and woolen
companies at the eastward sofsdeuy prosperous,
and Nth The present tariff must continue TO be.
Boston is the great depot of domestic goods and the
Bostonians reapng great profits by their unGrng
industry, perseverance,, and enterprise in the man
agement OF their manufacturing companies. They
are now building new steam mills in their neighbor-
hood, and find them profitable Investments. They
are yearly adding new customers to their already
long lists from other parts of the country than their
section and many Of our o,cn buyers receive most,
moi ALL their leading styles Of domestic goods direct from
The Boston agents; thus taking away the commissions
from the Pine street and Exchange Place merchants
Of this city.
"Now, would not find fault with the Bos-
tonians, for counting all the trade they can from this
and other particularly if such customers are
of the better class. Neither can think hard of our
own dealers if they purchase their goods in Bos-
ton; because it is plainly to the interest of both
these parties TO do so. The Bosonians save the
commission, otherwise paid to the New York mer-
chants and the dealers it in the decreased prices
at which they purchase their goods there.
The fact is, that steam mills can be established
and carried here as well, and better than there;
the land is equally cheap; building materials GER
tainly cheap; the labor would be cheaper; the
fuel would be cheaper; to say nothing Of other ex-
penses, such as freight, &C.. &C., saved by having
the mills here. All our large exporters now pur-
chase their goods in Boston; if the mills were here
situated, for instance, upon perther vessels might
receive the goods at once, without being obliged to
transport them from Boston. Then, again, the fuel
used, with the engines for the MILL could be deliver
ed at the pier free of carriage. Certainly all these
'tte matters (if you choose to call them SOY would
amount to considerable sum per annum.
"Why do not our rich capitalists think of this,
instead Of investing much of their means in ship
ping, &c.' New York is very favorably situated
for the prosperity Of commerce and manufactures;
and il is undoubted fact, that Boston is, at the
present writing, increasing her business, by dreriing
Il from .Ntio York"
We have always advocated the establishment Of
factories in this city, for the employment Of the in
dustrious poor, who at present are but miserably
reuited for their labor. We trust the present effort
will result in the immediate construction of two OF
three steam-mills in the city, and we IRE prepared
to help.--.E Y. Sun.

For THE REFLEcTNG.-The Detroit Free Press

One specie dollar privileges the bankers to issue
three paper ones.
The people have to conduct business on the prin-
ciple of "doLar for dollar"
Bankers can suspend or break with full pockets,
and laugh creditors to scorn.
The people, for the same act, would be put upon
rack, or their bodies confined in dungeon.
Bankers are privileged to draw interest on what
they owe.
The people are forced to pay interest, under the

Bankers are empowered to issue a currency Of
