CALIFoREIA.--The correspondent OF the Saint
Louis lntelligencer, writes as follows in re-
gard to any of the emigrants 20 California:
"There are by all odds more people here than
in any other country who have no definite
plans, occupation, hopes or prospects, and
who, nevertheless indulge in delightful visions
that, some way or another, something will
shortly turn up" by which they are to become
millonaires. | need scarcel, say, that with
such people nothing ever does "turn up" and
after their coats have become threadbare, and
their hats "seedy," and their friends have got
tired lending them money. they return home,
cursing California as humbug, and feeling
that they have been decidedly ill-used, because
a hundred or two thousands did not mysteri-
ously drop into their pockets, without the
slightest effort upon their parts. | confess
that there is good deal to encourage this feel
ing in the fact that some Of the largest incomes
in the United States are now enjoyed by gen.
tlemen Of San Francisco, who four years ago,
were far from being rich 1t is said that the
annual income Of Samuel Brannon Esq, is over
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, whilst
that of j. L. Folsom, w D. Howard. and sew
eral Others is but little, if any less. These
large estates have been made in the last three
o, four years, by the rapid rise Of real estate in
and about San Francisco. In 1878 lots
were purchased here for $l5 and $50, which
are now worth over 800. OO0 On the chic
business streets, in favorable locations, ground
is worth from $500 to $1,000 per front foot
exclusive of the improvements"

battle and peril, and to him of undying fame
and honor, SO the highest seat # earthly pow
