Salmon Fisheries in California.

HNfhVA wv
The "sacranen,o Union" presents
pcmo information respecting the sui
mon fisheries on the Sacramento river,
which, far transcend all the ideas we
eyer had Of the abundance of such line
f.h in any par, Of the world. ltsoys:
Tho water of tho river must be o.
live with salmon, or such quantities
cruChl daily would scnsibly reduce
their numbers. But experienced FISH
crmcn iuform Us, while the run lasts,
80 countless is the number, that no
matter how many are employed in
the business, or how many are taken
daily, no diminu,ion can be perceiv'
cd. They seem TO run in immense
schools, with some weeks intervening
between the appearance cfcnch school
during which tho numbers taken are
light, as compared with the quantity
taken during time like the present.
No account is kept ofthc number en-
gagged in fishing, Or of tho amount
caught, and all statements relative
thereto are made from estimates OBJ.
-ninel from those who have expert
encc in the business, and probably
approximate correctness.
These estimates give the number OF
men employed now in taking fish in
the Sacramento ut about GOO; the
number of fish taken daily on an av-
eroge, 2,oO0i their average weight,
seventeen pounds. 1t requires two
snen to man boat, which would 6 i've
500 boats for GOO men; 1000 fish
dsy would give to each man frac-
:ior over three as his share. Large
numbers are saIted down daily, seYe-
.al fins and individuals being cxtcn-
sivcly engaged in this branch Of the
trade. The fish are put down in hogs
heads, which average, when filed, a.
bau. 500 !bs.
The salmon fish Is found in no 9TH.

leading fish feature is tho run Of shad

in numbers beyond all computation.
In California and Oregon our rivers

Change In Locomotive Fuel.

A number of experiments have re-
Gently been made on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad by the superintcn-
den, for tho purpose of testing the e.
conomy of coke as q fuel in compare
son with wood, which has heretofore
been used exclusively. The coke
made was from the Cumberland btu
miaous coal, and the result, we under
stand. has been so satisfactory that 1t
Is intended hereafter to dispense en-.
,;reIy with tho wood. The saving OF
expense has been stated TO be about
20 per cent.
ALou, two years ago the Hudson
River Railroad Company bought a
quantity of coke for tho purpose of
testing its merits comparatively with
yood. We never heard the result.
The limo is not far distant when all
our rail roads will be compelled to
stop using wood for locomotive fuel
md the sooner they set about prepar-
ing for tile change SO much the bet

srnrcrs when wood ccasesto be used;
,he spark punishment now inflicted on
.ruveliors will then be abolished. AS
no wood is employed on the English
railways, we cannot see how it is that
the sane fuel used there cannot be
used here with equal advantages the
coke from the Cumberland coal may
bring about the desired relief

AMERICAN SILK.-At Newport, Ken
lucky, opposite Cincinnati, there is an ",
unpretendlng silk factory, which will
hereafter be memorable in the history
of American industry. 1t is carried on
by Messrs. Jones & Wilson, employs
some half.dozen or more laborers. with
five looms and some $50 spindlcs, con-
suming annually several hundred weight
of raw silk. The manufacture is direct.
ed BY Mr.. Wilson, while Mr.. Jones,
who is ofthe Quaker persuasion, and is
universally known as Friend Jones, sells
The products. These are pocket-hand-
kcrchicis, cravats, vcstings, and plain
and plaid dress silks. As far as posi-
bic, raw silk of American growth is
used in the factory, but the imported
article has 10 be relied on 10 make out a
supply. The raw silk raised in Ohio,
Indiana and Kentucky, when Iolerable
care is used, is not surpassed by any in
The world, being equal 10 the best Italian

better than any imported into tins Gown y,

and climate, whichimpart peculiar lus-
Ter and strength Of fiber, and cannot
fail, in time, 10 make the United States
one Of the greatest silk-growing coun"
tries in the world. For The best native
reeled silk they pay S. 80 per pound,
while the price of The besl imported
does not exceed 81 so. Mr.. Jones has
been engaged in this enterprise some e.
levcn years, and has pursued il steadily
through the discouragcmcnts incident
to the beginning Of a novel manufacture.

Cuba and her Slave Trade,

We don't know whether il is owing TO
government policy or government PUN,
der, but il is PROFESSIONALLY q fact that
the slave trade is carried on in Cuba
with a rcmorseless vigor that has scarce
ly parallel in the Islands history
A correspondent of the N, Y. Herald,
who seems TO be well-informed and
discrce. person, gives the statistics OF
the Decentralization Of Africans from
january 10 June Of the present year,
from which i. appears that the aggTe-
gate is 9,o49.
The impression generally prevails
that this infamous traffic is not only
winked a, but directly tomcnted by the
Captain General Canedo: and ii is even
alleged that of the $40 negroes landed
in January, 200 were purchased on her
Spanish Nlaipsty's account, by Don An
tonic Parcjo. her regular agent in the
island. With such facts before us, we
supposc that ME press will henceiorl!l
decline TO place confidence in the re-
ports that proclaim an alliance between
Spain and England to support the ISL
and against the United States.
We are told by gentlemen who visit
ed Cuba las! winter that its agriculture
is improving aud extending in every d.
rection. The d,mand for labor is o!
course very great, nor will any means
be spared 10 supply the old stocks of ez-
haus,ed plantations, or The new ones
that are opening among The prolific re:
gQs that have hitherto been untouched
By the hand Of man. Sugar and 1'obac-
CO are in uncommon favor. Smoking

weed. \ dgenuinr Havana" isns much
demanded q! Vienna CT Canton cs i is
in New York or London; and, while
the fancy lasts, her Spanish Majesty, or
her "successors," will enjoy the profit

Instead Of receiving aid and comfort
from England, we are som"wlat anx-
ious to see what diplomatic insult that
power will put upon Spain for her v'o-
iation Of the slave trade treaty,as shown
in the 9,O49 imported in less Than SIX
