This will prove a profitable season to
the nurseryman, the stock-raiser and the
farmer. The former has produced large

weather. Prices also Of agricultural pro

farmer better remuneration, perhaps,

ters connected with the Vigilance Com
mittee. The BUCCANEERS as a general
thing, oppose the Vigilants and have NOM
mated legislative ticket opposed to them.

ity of the people not only of San Francis
co, but of the entire State, were with
the Vigilance Committe, and approve Of
their acts. Their rooms were thrown
open on the 2lst Of August, and the pa
pers contain extended accounts of wha:
was to be seen therein.
All the accounts look favorable for the
success of the Republican ticket. Ere
