Interesting Paper from the CenSus
AGENT

We give below an interesting communica-
ton, containing information relative to The
number Of people settled OH the banks of The
Sacramento. &c. 1t has been very kindly
furnished us by Mr.. WIN. N. Johnson. Assis-
tant Marshal Of California; Placer (CdL)
Times.
Mr. Johnson says:
"On the Sacramento River a distance OF
about 40 mites commencing ten above the
city, and running 30 miles below, there are
1863 persons, among whom there are quite a
number OF families. 1t is truly gratifying TO
see that such rapid strides are being taken
towards permanent settlement of our coun-
iry Claims are staled out. timber chopped
down. fences made, houses built and. IN fine
n perfect farm opened in California fashion,
and in California lime. Every foot Of ground
worth anything whatever has lis pre- emp
toner and claims even as low down 25
miles from Sacramento are readily bringing
from five 10 twenty five hundred dollars. The
soil Is remarkably ri"h, timber sufficiently
plenty. and grass in great abundance. These
i;rms are all located on the river. the banks
Of which are generally high, commanding
fine view. During the current year, there
have been under cultivation in this county
about 600 acres and from what can learn.
al least OoOU VIII Dt put uiiutr cultivation
tor The next year. IL has been found that all
kinds of garden >tufs can be raised in great
abundance. and much more cheapIy than
they can be brought from the Sandwich Is
lands and other places. The consequence
is, that great many persons have turLed
their attention TO agriculture; and the time
is not far distant, when California will sup
ply herself with these necessaries. Last year.
there were a number of gardens which yield
ed over SO 900 per acre. One garden ofthrce
acres yielded $1,000; another Of about nine
acres paid $4,000; and several others which
might mention, paid equally rs well. Last
year nothing but spades were used; this year
rloughs are Introduced

The Postage Bill.

II will be seen by dispatches in to-days
Journal, that the Postage Bill has passed the
House. The uniform rate Of postage on let
ters will be three cents. This is a handsome
reduction, and will please the people, and we
think ere the passage of many years, be pro-
ductive of Just as great revenue as the
present system. Three cent pieces are TO be
coined which will be great accommodation
Printed matter of two ounces, one cent; and
each additional ounce, or fraction Of an ounce
one cent additional. Fifty cents to be de-
Quoted from the postage of Magazines when
prepaid. Postage on Newspapers TO sub'c /
bers within the State where printed, one half
Of the above rates-which we take to be one
hall cent for papers weighing less than two
ounces. The Weekly Journal will come in
this class, and some Of the large city week
lies will over-run it, and thus be charged one
cent, or fifty-two cents u year. Newspapers
to subscribers within the county. CT within
thirty miles, no postage. On the whole, we
like the bill, and hope it will speedily become
law.

GRANVILLE. HI.

GRANVILLE is becoming quite hog market.
This season we learn that 1000 hogs were
killed and packed there, averaging IFS
pounds each, and amounting to 100000 lbs.
The packers were o. Poole e. Co., Shawnee
town, and Mr.. Croft, of Lawrenceburgh.-
We understand that GRANVILLE is improving
very fast. One Of the citizens built hano-
some stone wharf last summer One Of
our subscribers there, or some other citizen,
would confer an obligation upon US, and prob
ably advance his own town. il he would give
US some statistics relative TO GRANVILLE, or a
letter detailing its progress, improvements,
advantages OF situation, &c. GRANVILLE is sit
uatcd on the Wabash in a good location, and
is bound to be place of Importance, if it is
not already comparatively such.

METHoDIcAL MADNEss.-The Madison
Courier says Sanders is crazy, but there is
method in his madness That's the differ

methodical mailman we ever saw. For in
stance, he says 1--WE intimated, when intro
duced to him by great fnancier, that the
Evansville Journal was as good a paper as
the Courier. For US not to have said il was
better, was because of that modesty for
which we are so Observation-Disclosures we
richly deserved to be called crazy For him
to insinuate that it is not fact, certainly dis
plays no method in his madness. Method
would have urged him to acknowledge the
corn, to prevent being suspected ofmadness-

bright example, to labor night and day with
the aid Of proper assistants, to make as good
apaPef.
