THE RE ACTION IN CALIFORNIA.

An intelligent and practical man, now resident in
California, gives the following prognos,icaton for
the benefit of his correspondent in the city of New
York
"Withn period of sixty days, as calculate,
there will be the deuce pay for there is real business
doing here worth speaking Of indeed the town is about
noisy and about busy, New England village would
be hot afternoon in August. The result Of this calm
will soon be felt Men and business, nay, the very atmo-
sphere, with every animate and inanimate thing at
stand STILL waiting for grand event, like the calm in
summer before the thunder storm But it is approaching,
and will soon be upon and laundering storm will be.
But will quickly pass away purifying the business atmo
sphere in its course and business then will start aesh and
on with some regularity, and with approach sys-
tem The truth is the hurry The town is built
there are houses enough-stoes enough-merchandise
chinery and mechanics enough indeed plenty Of every thing
The great drawback is the price which real
estate is held Prudent people will pay $50 $40 per
foot 70, land, to live build for years. and have
seen the first person who talks of longer period than this
his time for remaining here the consequence is that house
frames can be bought for what they with YOU The
town filled with all Of shops, gambling houses Sc.
and those will be cosed-that b hreequarers of the
will fail within sixty days, and must retire to the mines
Then down will the rents, and down the price of real
tate, and following these many of the merchants will become
bankrupts, and finally and things will find their own
level, and healthy business will spring up from the ruins.
