CALIFORNIA.

San Francisco. it is stated, is rapidly spreading
and now presents the massive appearance of City
Many large and elegant brick and stone buildings
have been erected since the fires of May and June.
Order now prevails in the City. and this is owing to
the committee of citizens who took the law in their
own hands.
Agriculture and horticulture are receiving daily
and increasing attention in every part of the State.
The mining intelligence from California 10 OF the
most cheering character. All accounts concur in say
ing that the yield of the pacers has never been great
er than at present, while the daily discoveries OF
rich auriferous quartz veins and the developments Of
those already worked, indicate that even if the pa-
Gers fail, a good supply may be obtained from the
hills and mountains. We copy as follows from Cali
fornia papers as to the mining operations
From all parts of the State we have the most en-
couraging intelligence of the of the miners.
and we hazard nothing in saying, that the present
yield of the mines exceeds that OF any former period
The season, so Far, has been very favorable to the
success cf the various daming companies. through
out the State and the result has been large yields in
that department of mining. The prospects for the
approaching rainy season are still more encouraging
During the dry season. great numbers of miners, who
rivers, have been engaged in raising dirt in the dry
diggings to wash when the rains aaoad them the re-
qusi,e supply Of water. Besides, steady business
is now being prosecuted by the various quartz com
panies, particularly in the vicinity of Nevada City,
and along the tributaries of the San Joaquin These
companies will be able 70 prosecute their labors as
we'll in the rainy as in he dry season. 1t may be
we'll to remark that the quartz business appears TO be
that which, to considerable extent is attracting

The extensive outlay for costly machinery, in order
to prosecute this branch of mining successfully,

"TEAcH THE CHILDREN now TO SING. We were
