A Gl,mnso OF The Future.

a Glimpse OF the FutuFes
The tide of immigration will soon begin to
pour with increased volume into the borders
of California Indeed, the facilities for reach
ing this golden land are far more extensive
than even our own citizens are apt to eonsid-
er them. The overland routes will soon be
thronged with travel, the Tehuantepec route
by steam is already in operation, the Panama
route will of course not be closed, the Mica
ragua route will be opened as soon as practi-
cable, and steamers will ere long be plying
between this point and Australia according
to the plan! !of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton,sin
the English Parliament. We are already in
communication, by sail vessels, with every
other quarter of the world, and will in due
time be connected with them, by steamers, on
the same lines Of travel. In a few months
from now, we shall have perfect rush of
immigration, from the effect on England and
Europe of the Fraser river excitement New
Caledonia not proving what it was reported,
the thousands of adventures now bound to
that quarter will settle upon our shores, and
help to develop our mineral, agricultural and
other resources, by the work of their own
hands or the investment of their money in
the different channels of trade and business
This industrious and valuable population,
added to that which flows in from the Atlantic
States, cannot fail to improve vastly the pres
ent condition of the country cannot fail to
give it a mighty impulson forward in the
path of prosperity, and such an impulsion as
will be distinctly seen and felt within years
time. The rich agricultural regions now un-
occupied will Ibe filled up, and the just
awakening spirit of enterprise be stimulated
to renewed exertions. Wagon roads will be
constructed between the agricultural and
commercial points, and in consequence, new
channels of trade and wealth will be opened.
As it is now, the comparatively few farmers,
settled in rich but remote regions of the
State, cannot afford to cut their way down
through the mountains to the markets, and
construct roads upon which to transport their
stores of, at present, unprodactve wealth
Millions of acres ,of such land as we have
spoken of now lie idle in this State, and
waiting the hand of the cultivator; and glad
we are indeed of the prospect that they will
not have to wait long.
One obstacle in the way of the substantial
prosperity of our. State is, in particular, now
removed, and that is forced and fictitious
value to property and spasmodic business
operations. Business men now know what
to depend upon-prices are at more fixed
standard, and calculations for the future can
be made with farmore precision than former
y. The country is not so much overstocked
with unnecessary articles and supply is
more evenly balanced with demand. The
great incubus upon the agricultural interests,
towit: the unsettled character of land titles,
is fast being removed The exact boundaries |
of private grants are being rapidly determin-
ed, and the honest, hard-working settler may
now locate his home and farm without the
danger of being molested by some rapacious
land-holder in the future. Population, too,
is not now so fluctuating as formerly, and the
large amounts of money which used to be
carried out of the country by temporary So
ourners upon the soil, now remains, to be
invested in permanent improvements or to
be diffused in the general circulation. For
'ign capital is also seeking our shores to
much greater extent than formerly, and will
continue to seek it as new fields of enterprise
re opened.
There never was day when the prospects
If California were brighter She will soon
become the greatest and the wealthest quar-
er of the globe, and happy will those be,
hey and their latest posterity, who cast
heir lots upon her soil, and grow up in pros
oerity with her steadily advancing greatness.
