The Agricultural Prospects Of
California.

A California correspondent Of the N.
York Courier, writing upon the agricuI-
tural prospects of that country, says they
are this season highly encouraging.
"large crops of barley are ripening
in the Sacramento, San Joaquin, Napa
and Sonoma districts. New potatoes
are already coming into market, and we
have the greatest variety OF vegetables
constantly on hand a, low rates for Cal
ifornia. The probable effects of the year s
culture will be still further reduction of
prices for vegetables and barley, though
of wheat, oats, buck wheat, rye and corn,
but very little will be produced. Corn,
indeed, does not succeed at all in any
part of this State or Oregon, but for ev-
cry kind of cereal grain no climate and
soil can be superior to ours. II will be
long before we will raise our own wheat,
mol for want of capacity in the soil. 5u,
by reason oflhe competition of Chill and
Oregon, both of which can raise it cheap
er than we can. Indeed, Oregon herself
is partly supplied with flour from Chill,
the addition freight and duties to the
price there being far less than the extra
cost of labor OH this coast. The busi-
ness of stock growing is fas. increasing.
Fresh butter and milk are not now the
lariles they once were, while fresh pork,
though still high, is plenty in the mar
ke.s. Fine horses are common sight
at the livery stables and in the streets,
and it may safely be said that no city in
the world can show its working cattle in
better condition than San francisco. A
lean horse would be curiosity.

Mr.. John Costigan is one of the mos,
prominent and influential Democratic
Irishmen in Albany. At the late cele-
bration of the festival of st. Patrick, in
that ciiy.he expressed hiT self as follows:
John Costigan being called on for a
sentiment, stated tina, he had quite recent
y read in the Tory Times, the leading
government organ of England, an edito-
rial article on the consequence and effects
of emigration from Ireland TO America,
from which he (Mr c. had transcribed
the following paragraph, viz:
"When the Celt has crossed the At.
lantic, ne begins for the first time in his
life, to consume the manufactures of this
country, and indirectly to contribute TO It's
costums. We may possibly live to
see tie day when the chief produce of
Ireland will be cattle, and English and
Scotch tho majority of the population.
The nine or ten millions of Irish, who
by that time will have settled in the Uni
ted States. cannot be less friendly 10 En-
gland, and will certainly be much better
customers to her than they now are."

MOSQUITOES.

The Minnesota pioneer one of most
facetious of our exchanges INDUCES its
fancy in the following train!
Wild beasts, excepting the grisley bear,
and venomous insects, excepting the
musquilo, as general rule, are less fero.
cious and less venomous, as you recede
from the equator, and approach the poles
Up North. one of our mosquitoes is like
a gritty little fellow in red flannel shirt,
with a leather bel. on, half drunk at a
raising, who wants fight so bad that he
jumps up and down. cracking his heels
and slapping his fists together. ready to
hop into anything big or little, that comes
into The ring. They say tha. at Penn.
bina, you may often see mosquitoes ligh
upon turnips growing in the field, aud
thrust their venomous little lance,s into
the skin of the vegetable. as if it were
huma all the time gyrating one of their
fore legs, in that manner so expressive ol
their delight at having their bills accept
ed and their drafts honored. We are
not alone. however, in suffering with
mosquitoes, and in fact, since our popu-
lation has so much increased, the divi-
dend of these insects, falling to the share
of each person, is quite small--and we
pay our blood tax very cheerfully; but in
lS49, when we were but handful, their
assessments upon our veins came down
upon US like a road tax, and every insect
was as keen as town marshal with a
new commission.

The Irish Soldier.

The Richmond Dispatch thus compli-
ments the 'sons of Erin:"
In actual battle, there is no soldier in
Europe, that can compare with the Irish
veteran. He is cool, and yet full of fire
and enthusiasm: he stands shot like he
70 without returning At; he waits for the
word of command, that is to let loose
his terrible energies, and then he rushes
on like whirlwind. He is more mus
cular than most others, and therefore bet
ter adapted to close fight. He is intrac-
table and hard to manage in camp, but
on the battle. field he is as much at home
as Nelson was on the deck of The Vlcto-
ry. He apparently has prediction
for the excitement of battle, but he cuts a
poor figure in retreat. When Sir John
Moor retreated before the French armies,
The Irish regiments lost half their men
by deserving. But no sooner was it Civ.
en- out that the commander-in chief halt.
ed. and lhata great battle was to be fought,
than every man rejoined his colors, eager
for the fray.

CORK.

MANY persons see corks used daily
without knowing whence come those
useful materials. Corks are cut from
large slabs of the cork tree, a species of
oak which grows wild in the southern
countries in Europe. The tree is strip
ped of its bark at about Is years old; but
before stripping it off the tree is not cut
down as in the case of the oak. 1t is
taken while the tree is growing, and the
operation may be repeated every eight
or nine years; the quality of the bark
continuing each time to improve as the
age of the tree increases. When the
bark is taken off it is singed in the flames
of strong fire, and after being soaked
for considerable lime in water, i, is
placed under heavy weights in order to
render it straight. Its extreme lIghtness.
the ease with which it can be compressed
and its elasticity are properties SO pecu-
liar to this substance that no efficient SUBJ
stitu,e for il has been discovered.

BITTER TEARS.

Oh! bitter is the tear,
When friends are far away;
The melancholy night how drear-
How slowly moves the day.

Is heaving its last sigh. ..
Oh! bitter is the tear,

As she views the sable bier,
Of him she fondly loved.

The mate she loved, the hours she priz d

,W The following strange story appear
ed in the Key West Gazette, relative to cap
ital punishment in that city:
Some years ago, a seaman by the name
of Sherwood, accidently shot shipmate on
the 4th of July and was placed in this Jail to
awuit his trial. The main door had no lock
or bolt, and Sherwood roamed abroad when
he pleased, but made il point of honor to
sleep in the prison. His friends vainly urged
him to 60 off; and the jdilor, finally getting
tired of being bored, swore that he would
have to 60, as he did not believe him guilty.
Sherwood begged hard to remain, and pro-
missed to work fer the jailor to pay his board.
Upon these terms he was suffered to remain
in prison, working daily for his keeper to
pay his board, until his trial came of, and he
was finally hung Here was an honest Key
West criminal he did not deem himself
guilty, but was perfectly willing to be hung
If the community desired it. He was hung
and as no other one has ever applied for cap
ital punishment here since, none has been
inflicted"

Correspondence Of the Charleston Courier.
WAeuYNorou Irna

Correspondence Of the Charleston Courier.
WASHINGTON, June 1.
Ere this shall appear in type, in all
probability the result of the Democratic
National Convention will have been made
known in your city through the agceny of
the electric fluid; therefore, l shall not
weary your readers with any futile specu-
Nations as to the result may be per-
mitted, however, to remark. that it is not
improbable that the ticket so much COM
-mended to young America"-Doug
and Houston-may be adopted. As to
the platform, it is probable that it will
embrace two leading features. The first
will be the endorsement ofthe compromise,
including the fugitive slave law; and the
second will be pledge to bring back the
administration of the national finances to
a system Of economy and of accountability.
Mr.. Buchanan took occasion some months
ago, in political letter, to place the latter
issue before the party as the most import
ant one for their consideration at this time.
Its importance cannot he overrated. The
expenses ofthe government will reach fifty
one millions this year. They have been
quadruped in little over fourth Of a
century, and are rapidly on the increase,
There is lack Of accountability on the part
Of public officers, want of system in keep
ing public accounts, and recklessness of
public expenditure, that favors and encour-
ages and must lead to cupidity and cor
ruption.
Mr.. Hunter closed the debate on the
Deficiency bill yesterday, with an able and
interesting speech on the administration of
the national finances. In the course of his
speech he suggested the necessity of the
formation Of party that would look
unscrupulously to this subject, and also to
the preservation Of the rights of the States,
and thereby preserve the harmony and
integrity Of the Union.
The House considered, yesterday, a
resolution for closing the session on the
last Of August, and postponed it till next
weeh. The session will be closed about
the end Of August
