San francisco, Tuesday, Oct. l}
My DEAR Mn GREELEY The steamer of the
18th ult carried you the sad intelligence of
the late fire. To-day we have reissued our
paper and the burnt district is nearly all built up
part of it with far better buildings than before
Such is life in San Francisco.
The great Improvement in the streets and
wharves of this town are hardly mirrored forth
by the daily press. The whole scheme involves
large outlay of money, and its scope has hardly
entered into the minds OF men to conceive-except
the city fathers and contractorsso busily is every
one employed in attending to his own interests
You Chamber about to-day over huge piles OF lum
Der and dirt and across yawning abysses-the cul-
version plank and tomorrow psss over the
same on plank floor, with locomotion so light
that YOU can scarcely keep your feet.
The wharves, too, like the mole of Horace, have
quite encroached ON the dominlons OF the fishes
go that you can 20 out on foot nearly to the point
where the Panama cast her anchor in August
l849 They extend, too, from the end of each
street and already nearly fill the crescent left be-
tween Bincon and Clarks Points.
Emigration is still going forward rapidly They
I 90 to the South to the w est and North, as well
as to the States at the East. Oregon is rapidly
filing up in every part So are the Hawaiian
Islands, while the sunny lands of the South are
not forgotten California will still be full in
every part. Men are not going to congregate
again in idle crowds in the cities to spend the
rainy season. Every tract OF arabic land will
have its occupants and reward the Industrious
possessor with teeming harvest; AT the same
time larger population will spend the rainy sea
son, in fact tue best season for work, in the
dirty NINE
Among the innumerablo cases of malfeasance
at sea- very few OF which ever come to knowl
edge of the public through the press, learned of
one the other day, which is one of piece with
many others. Capt Waterman of the ship ST..
Patrick owned by Mr. Ogden, New York, had his
steward arrested and put in prison here for dcser
ton and breach of contract, On the trial before
Recorder Tiltord, it appeared in evidence that the
said Captain has sadly abused the said steward,
with sundry kicks, blows, Selling him By the hair,
etc. etc 1t is unnecessary to add, that the one
tract was annued, and Capt w. was very
glad to escape criminal prosecution. Ny soul
sickens at the thought of so much brutality aud
abuse as have heard of and witnessed here and
on the way thther. c. NJ. B.
