THE SEcRET.-In reviewing the state of the

/" The general business of the city continues
daily to increase: and the prospect Of an in
creased trade, and improvement in real estate
andin the business of the city generally is APP
parent to every one. The establishment of a
Cotton Factory and the building Of Flour Mills
have aided much in bringing about this state
of things" In that last sentence is revealed
the whole secret of the change in the business
prospects of Augusta. She was declining,
population decreasing, trade falling off, real
estate depreciating general dllapidotion COM
ing on. Her %cititizes reused themselves-dug
a canal to create water power, engaged in
manufacturing, mills &c. Now see what the
mere commencement has done for the city p
Nothing can save Huntsville from continued

one resorted to so successfully in Augusta

Immediately upon my arrival there, to put
these laws in force, to prevent their infraction
in future, by furnishing with the penalties pre-
scribed by law on those who offend.
AS these laws probably are not known to
many who are about starting to California, it
would be we'll to make 1t publicly known that
there are such in existence, and that they will
be in future enforced against all persons not
citizens of the United States who shall commit
any trespasses on the lands Of the United States
in California. Your position as Consul here,
being in communication with the Consuls on
the coast of South America, affords YOU the
opportunity Of making this known most gener-
