According 10 this statement the entire population Of
the State is pa 435, exclusive Of FL Dorado county
which is opposed 10 contain about 10000 and which
therefore makes the entire population about 255 900 1t
Is evident however, that the population of the State
greatly exceeds this number The migratory habits
the miners and the vast number who have no settled
abode but 20 from place TO place in search OF employ
ment or in specializing adventures render 1t altogether
mpraccable to obtain reliable statistics TO popua.
ton. am satisfied the population Of the State Is not
less than 10000 and my impression Ia 10000 would
be nearer the mark According TO this census, San

a. $40 reside within this City. Ofthese there are white
males 20 loo and Of white females 5l54 the proper

inequality in the however daily diminishing

that there in this City 1000 females those who
contemplate bringing their families here will readily
perceive there no lack OF female society The popu.

Next to San Francisco Sacramento City is the largest
town in the state and contains between seven and eight
thousand inhabitants. Next 10 this is Marysville with

OF Chinese and French, Of whom the former are much
