A PREDICrIoN FOR SAN FRANCISCO. An
individual, of speculative turn, yesterday
wrote letter in the presence of number
of witnesses, which letter he deposited In
the archieves of u public institution. This
letter was marked on the envelope: "To be
opened on the 4th day of July, 1876" IF.
teen years hence. 1t contains a number Of
assertions as to what will be the population
and general condition of San Francisco ut
that time. The figures have been carefully
considered and the political horoscope based
upon continuance of the American Union
during that decade and half. Those who
are present when this letter is opened will
read among other things that the Pacific
Railroad is completed and in fine running
order San Francisco contains $50, 900 in
habitants; lines of steamships diverge to all
parts of the Pacific ocean. All of Rincon
Point, and. in fact, the whole of the present
city ia that direction, about Mission Bay and
Steamboat Point, is wilderness of great
black brick foupdries, mills and chimnies,
smoky aud noisy. The Court endr of the
city is out beyond Mason, and west and
south of Market street. The Beideman tract
is covered with houses; the San Jose Rail-
road has built up all that region of country
and San Mateo and vicinity is shown as the
suburbs" where many business men reside
and take the cars into town any hour in the
day We communicate with Washoe by
railroad. Unheard of wealth is pouring in
to the lap of San Francisco from all the
surrounding silver and gold regions. Pa
latial residences are built along our thor
oughfares, and the commercial metropolis
is getting to be the most luxurious city in
America.-[ Alta.

A SENSIBLE SUGGEsTIoN.-The exports of
Spain are few; she has furnished us with
nothing Of late years but little wine and
WOOL seedy senors, susceptible senoritas,
and a standing moral. But we are now io-
debted to her for an eminently sensible sug-
gestion. A Madrid newspaper, after de-
liberate survey of the past, present and fu.
ture prospects Of the American nation, kind
ly advises Mr.. Buchanan to invest any spare
funds which the General Government may
have ia the purchase Of South Carolina,
abandoning forever any idea of buying Gu
ba. The Spaniards have never been espec
tally noted for wit, but the neat vein of
satire which threads this suggestion will 60
far towards establishing this reputation for
them. Talleyrand could not have put the
same idea in better words Even amid the
turmoil aud trouble of the day, we can find
time to recognize and welcome the grave
humor Of the Hidalgos.

LOUISIANA Our ONLY on PAPER.-A New
Orleans letter in the Boston Traveller, says:
''With large majority in the Convention,
the SecessiOnsts, though after long and
strong opposition from the -operationists
have finally carried through their secession
ordinance. Louisiana-On paper, at least
lis out of the Union. But thousands of
her citizens: ridiculing the action of the
Convention, openly and publicly call them
selves still American citizens of the Conied-
eracy of our foreiathers. Grave and sober
men today look graver and more sober
all deprecating the secession of their be-
loved State. Everywhere, without conceal
ment OH their part, our substantial citizens
are heard to curse the traitors who, without
any just ground Of complaint. have precip-
itated Louisiana into revolution. And
yet, Notwithstanding all these marks of dis
content, our papers still have the impudence
to say that the people of this section Of the
Republic, on the secession question, were
unanimous for its adoption.

A PARALLEL.-Antwerp had 100000 in
habitants, and was the most commercial
and prosperous city 10 the world-2,500
merchant vessels arriving there in year,
bringing merchandise of the value Of 1873
millions. When the Northern provinces re.
vOlted they took possession of the mouth of
the Scheldt, built forts on the sides and
sunk distractions in the channel, to pre-
vent free navigation, in consequence Of
which Antwerp was ruined, and grass grew
before the warehouses of those who had
been the greatest merchants in the world,
and her population was reduced to GO, 900.
The distractions we're removed, and, after
centuries, her commerce began TO revive.
Napoleon spent fifty millions of francs ia
improving her harbor, and she has now.
perhaps, ninety thousand people.
Charleston has revolted, and with sunken
vessels has obstructed her channel. When
the shifting sands Of her delta shall have
covered those snnken vessels, and she shall
have lost two thirds Of her population and
all her commerce, who will provide the mil
lioIs necessary to restore her trade? Will
she be able TO raise it by selling her stolen
forts and arsenal to the Southern Confede-
racy, subject to her secessory right to steal
them againt

AFFAIRS IN KENTUCKY.

Louisville, Ky, Friday Oct. II, 1861.
The rebel General Hawthorne, Of the Mississippi
Brigade, is at fIopsnsville KY and has transferred
the Post-Otiice there to the charge of rebel Post
master. Thus the Southern Kentucky towns are
regularly supplied with the Southern mails, under
the authority Of the rebel Postmaster.Gencral.
Gen. Hardee is in command at Bowling Green,
with 10000 troops, including 1000 Texans, who,
ffom their vii appearance, the people there take
for Indians.
There is quite an accumulation of southwark
bound travellers at the hotels in this city, who find it
impossible to get through our lines.
Gen. Ward commanding at Camp Andy johnson,
a, Greensbury, KY, has dispatched Col. Harlan and
Gen. McCook for requirements. Gen. Ward re-
ports that 5000 Rebels are advancing upon and
within twelve miles Of Greensbury; 800 troops
have gone to their assistance.
