The agricultural portion of this county, which
has heretofore been looked upon as tOrsaken

least 100 per cent. Much land isnow under cul-
tivation. which by means of irrigation from
Tule river and the Four Creeks, and with little
labor, produce fine yield. Fruit trees aud
vines have, within a short time, been planted in
different sections, and the present prospects In

BY the arrival of the Archer, on Saturday
morning, at the Bay we have news from China
to March 26th. The news is Of no particular
importance.
report had reached Shanghai that the reb-
els had taken the important city of Hollow, in
the Black Tea district. and that the head Com
mander had been cut through by ball whilst
fighting at hng-KOng, and died instantly.
The effect on the tea market from the cause
mentioned, or some other, has been consldera-
Bile: teas which four or five mouths ago could
he got for eight and nine taels, are now stand
ing at over double that price, and difficult IN
obtqining even at that. Silk too il rising III
price: but for this we have to thank the brokers,
who are taking advantage of the excessive de-
mand. The export of Silk from Shanghae this
wear is likely to be but little short Of 100000
bales Ten years ago an export of 5000 or
1000 bales in year was thought something
considerable.
Coole horrors have now become a household
word, and from the frequency with which we
have TO record such catastrophies, we are not
likely soon to forget them.
The Friend of China, of March 26th, says:
The American ship Ceur de Lion, which ar
rived here on Sunday last, reports: That in the
China Sea. on the morning OF the 18th OF Feb
ruary, abont A. NJ. barque was deserted
with topsals, jib and foretopmast staysail set.
apparently in very unmanageable state. Up
on nearing her, the CGur de Lion was hailed
by voice in English. asking for assistance, as
the barque was in distress. The captain, with
passenger, imned ately went Oh board and
found the vessel to be the Dutch barque Henri
eta Maria. which left Macoa on the 7th Of Feb
ruary last, with coolies. for Havana. A d.stur-
bance had arisen on hoard, between the coolies
and crew, on account Of which the captain. of
fcers and crew. with the exception of four, three
Dutchmen and one Englishman, had abandoned
the vessel Two hundr,d and forty Chinese
passengers having left also at the same timc.-
The remainder of the crew. with sixty Chinese
passengers. have been knocking about the Chi
ia Sea ever since, unt.l her falling in with the
CGur dc L on, the captain OF which ship placed
his mate and four seamen Oh board the Heart
eta Maria, ordering tn, IN to take her to S.nga-
pore. The English scamen had received three
stabs in the d stnrbance from the Chinese, and
those who remained Oh board had taken entire
charge of the cuddy aud cabins. The captain,
with his companions, are supposed 10 have
reached the main land, and to be still in the
hands of the Chinese
Comment upon these repeated mutinies on
board coolie ships is not only unnecessary, but
useless.
