The Growth of California.

A twelvemonth ago and there was scarcely ves- set Ih the haTbof oi San Francisco, noS thick-s-t deet lies anchored there. sent by ihe nations of the world. A ,weivemonth since and a voyagef might meet a small village called Yerba Bue1a, lying by he waters side; now San Francisco stretches through the valleys and spreads with rapid grow th up the hill sides. 4 twelvemonth since and the spanish was alone spoken where now are heard the languages Of all Europe. The magical wand ot energy and entetpEis4 waving over the land, has started towns and cities into existence. Upon Its rivers pass and Tepass daily dozen s'eamboa's and the waters of the San Joaquin and Sacramento eaa no longer flow quietly from the SIeTFe Nevada 10 the ocean. The nineteenth cea,eTy has ih'cwn together mem from all parts os the world, and m a single year has produced a nation-has brough, about that seeming paradox of State without law. and yet which may vie wI,h the world for order.
