CALIFORNIA. By the recent arrival, We
have San Francisco papers up to Jan. 10th.
The steamer arrived in New York, Feb. 10
making the whole time from San Francisco
to New York, fire days less than one month 6y
the Panama route That is quick
The San Francisco papers are full Of life,
fun and spirit. Gov Bigler had just deliv-
cred long message to the Legislature, which
in the nomenclature of the country is called
enormous. Gov. Bigler makes the debt OF
the State little over 5000, 900, and thinks
81 ZOO, 900 resources may be realized for the
State during the ensuing year. The Leglala-
ture ordered 5000 copies of the message print
ed in English, and 1000 each in Spanish,
French and German. 1t was autographed from
Benicia to San Francisco in six and half
hours. The Legislature will go for retrench-
ment and reform.
The Weather In Sacramento, Jan. 4th,
the weather was warm. Fires oppressive,
and Over-coats burden Streets dry and
dusty.
The Stockton Times of Jan. 5th, says the
continued fine weather has brought trade to
stand-still nothing but good wet ''sPelr'
will set it in motion.
A despatch from Benicia, Jan. 18th, says
the rain is now pouring down in torrents, ac-
companied with terrific gale Of wind. The
San Francisco Journal of Jan. 18th, says =
RAIN ONCE MORE! 1T commenced raining
in this city on the evening of the 18th inst,
and the stOrm-clOuds still lower above us. By
telegraphic despatch received yesterday from
Marysvile, at p. NJ, we are informed that
the Yuba River was rising rapidly at that hour.
1t had risen to nearly eight feet above its for
mer level, affording convincing proof that the
rain must have been heavy in the mountains.
1t will be most welcome to the miners, and
will give an increased impetus to business of
every kind.

AGRIcULTURAL.-Mr Denman of Petaluma,
has raised some very superior buckwheat He
prepared one acre of land by light blowing,
and but once the soil rather sandy and rather
moist The grain was sowed on the 18th of
May. Twenty pounds of seed was put upon
this acre, upon the rough sod slight har-
rowing, and the work was done. The crop
was harvested and the yield was ?, 100 pounds
or more than 100 pounds return for one
The California Farmer says experience has
demonstrated that the sooner grain is in the
ground after it can be properly prepared, the
better, and it will always be found that such
planting will yield the finest grain and the
largest quantities to the acre, and the grain
will be clear, bright and plump.
A beet weighing SO pounds, grown in San
Joaquin, is on exhibition in Stockton.
Mr.. Petit, whose farm is located upon the
American River, just above Brighton, says he
sowed $50 lbs Of wheat last year, and that it
yielded ITO bushels. This fact, under any
circumstances, would be most interesting 10
the mind of farmer, but it is especially in
'CIOSIihS " VIII III lHlS part Oh
of the country in 40, and passed by this same
land.

grains, this fall and winter, large proportion
