TExAs.-Prior to the admission of
Oregon, Texas was our nearest sister
State; but our interest in her is not
lesscned by having young State on our
very border.
A writer in the Sacramento Standard
describes Texas as being divided into
three great sections; the northern, or
grain growing portion, with good eli
mate; the eastern belt, containing very
rich land, which is adapted to the growth
of cotton and sugar; and Western Tex
as, as it is called, embracing within its
limits the cities of Austin and San An
tonic, which is the great stock-growing
region of the country. The cotton
crop this year is about 100000 bales, of
say 45O to 500 pounds per bale, and
worth eleven to twelve cents per pound.
Stock-raising is, however, the great
business of the State The profits on it
are set down at from thirty three and
one third to fifty and seventy-fve per
cent. per annum!
The climate is generally healthy, not
unlike that of California; and some of
the scenery lovely as dream. The
State is out of debt, and besides her
public domain, which is almost bound
less, she has surplus of three millions
in the treasury. Taxes are only seventeen
cents on the hundred dollars, and lands
of every description are approaching in
value. The railroad system of the State
is projected on grand scale; some six
or eight of the roads are already com
pleted and in two or three years there
will be continuous line from the interior
of the State to New Orleans and New
York.
Surely glorious destiny awaits the
Lone Star Republic.

THE Snowy MouNTAINs.-The trail

The SNOWY MOUNTAINs.-The trail
from this place to Downieville, via For
est City, is now open for the first time
in four weeks. Tclegraphic communi-
cation is however, still impossible. For
great part of the distance between here
and Forest City the wire is fairly buried
in snow, which lies at least eight feet
deep on level. During the past week
several large trains of pack mules, laden
with supplies Of provisions for the towns
in Sierra county, passed through San
Juan. We are informed that at Forest
City the supply of fresh meat was en-
tilelv exhausted. Fortunately the mer-
chants had laid in large stocks of other
eatables before the commencement of
winter

Two PACIFIC STATEs.-The most
important intelligence by recent arrivals
from the East is the exciting and graft
flying information that Oregon has been
admitted into the Union. There are now
thirty three confederate States, and two
IF the sisterhood stand with linked hands
on the Pacific coast, where yet shall
stretch line of others, clasping hands
with them, and gazing with keen eyes
towards the archipelagos and continents
that lie below the western horizon.
Oregon is said to comprise an area
of 280 miles north and south, by 600
miles east and west, and is set down as
embracing 227 900 square miles of ter
ritory. The population numbers 12,-
900 voters, and about $4,000 souls in
all California has length following
the curves of it's eastern and western
boundaries, of about no miles, and an
average breadth of about 230 miles, with
an area which has been variously esti-
mated at from 155 800 to 1873, 900 square
miles. Its population numbers upwards
of half million. The two States, then,
have coast line of nearly one thousand
miles, an aggregate area of at least 3S2,-
500 square miles, and population
which will number nearly 600, 900 souls.
Thus securely have civilization and
freedom planted themselves on this coast
in few years; and thus rapidly is the
western verge of our continent advanc-
ing to rivalry with its eastern shores.
Meanwhile, to hasten the union of the
two extremes and the consolidation of
the federal family, new and extensive
gold fields have been discovered in the
heart of the vast territories which lie
between the Rocky mountains and the
Mississippi valley. Enterprise is stim-
ulated to explore regions hitherto occu-
pied only by the red man, and to lay in
the wilderness the corner stones of fu-
ture states. Already we can hear the
hum of multitudes on their way to this
new Canaan of industrious adventure

STRAws.-Within the past few years
the claim of woman to be admitted to
wider field of employment has been
heard, and the sex may now be found in
occupations from which they were once
jealously excluded. We mentioned
some time ago that in America and
France there were many female engra-
vers, and it is known that women have
also found their way into printing Offices,
not only as editors but as compositors.'
The latest new fact in this connection
we learned from an English paper, which
states that in several of the telegraph
offices of England young women are the
operators, and are noted for the accuracy
and speed of their dispatches. In
transmitting one long report, which oc-
cupied six closely printed columns in
the London Times, an average speed Of
twenty-nine words per minute was
maintained. The operatorswere all girls.
