LEGISLATION FOR AGRICULTURAL 1NrERESrS.--
Senator Porter has introduced Bill for the
promotion of Agriculture" in the California SEN
ate. 1t is q wonder some similar Bill was not
passed long ago. The richness of soil, aud vari
'ety of climate in California puts it in the power
of . farmers to successfully cultivate all the
products raised in any of The Atlantic States.-
Experiment has shown that Tobacco and Cotton,
equal in quality to any grown in the Gulf States,
can be produced why not Hemp, Sugar and
Rice 1t is right that the State at large should
encourage by liberal policy, the CULTURE of ev-
cry species of agricultural products, and no pet
ty jealouses or rivalry should prevent mcmbers
of the Legislature representing the mining dis
tricts, from voting for any measure which will
really tend to this end.
The Herald and H1ror gives The following
general features of the Bill
1t proposes to offer State premium for the
production, as the fruits Of one crop, of II certain
large amount of staple articles or such rs should
become staples in this section of the country
The Board of Judges is to consist Of one
farmer, one merchant and one manufactured
All orders tor the payment OF premiums must be
signed by the Governor and COuntersigncd by the
Lieut. Governor. This will make these officials
responsible directly for the character OF the
awards.
The producer of the first thousand bales of
hemp the producer of The first thousand pounds
of coffee or tea the manufacturer of the first
thousand casks of beer, proved to Withstand the
effects of climate aud to keep good on and after
a long sca-voyogc are to receive large premiums
under this bill.
That coffee and tea of n very superior quality
can be raised in California there can now he no
rational doubt and the promises of considerable
premium held out to those who will cndcavor to
first raise heavy crops will certainly be OF in
esmable value in stimulating cXertions and
plans and expenditures to that end.
Beer that can withstand the effects of suddenly
changing climate, that will keep its integrity
through II protractcd sca-voyagc, will soon find
u ready and large market, from hence, in China
and the Islands.

on GUARD.

At midnight on my lonely beat,
When shadow wraps the wood and lea,
a vision seems my view to great
OF one at home that prays for me.
No roses blow upon her check
Her form is not lovers dream
But ON her face, so fair and meek,
A host Of holier beauties gleam.
For softly shines her silver hair,
A patient smile is on her face,
And the mild, lustrous light of prayer
Around her sheds moonlikc grace.
She prays for one that's far away
The soldier in his holy fight
And begs that Heaven in mercy may
Protect her boy aud bless the right
Till though the leagues lie far between,
This silent license of her heart
Steals DER my soul, with breath serene,
And we no longer are apart.
So guarding thus my lonely beat,
BY shadowy wood and haunted lea,
That vision seems my view to greet
Ot her ut home who prays for me.

so much of lilial affection, genuine piety and

TIE BEST WAY TO ADVERTGSN.-Ths Is Il qucs-
tion of some Importance, and many different ways
are resorted to in order to bring the article to be
disposed of to notice. The handbill, to be con.
vcyed about by men, or sent into the country,
is not always the best vehicle of advertising for
merchants. The newspaper Is circulated without
any expense to the advertiser, which is by no
means an unimportant item, as every one will
testify who has had any experience in distributing
| his own advertisements. Not only Is the udver.
tisement circulated by the newspaper tree Of all
Icypcuse hui il j. done more speedilX and thor
Oughly than can be done by the advertiser. The
| newspaper is already an established system, u
thousand doors are open to welcome it, thou
sand messengers are daily and weekly seeking
the pOst-ollice to receive it, Il thousand people
look for its coming, and.a thousand read it when
it does come. Again, those who read the news
papers are the very persons the advertiser wants
to reach, they are the intelligent aud WELT do,
the enterprising citizens of II country, and are
therefore the most likely to buy that which iS
worth buying, consequently worth ADVERTISING
Again, the newspaper IS not IL transient but
periodical visitor 1t comes day<Eb day, and
week by week, aud is expected and welcomed rs
IL friend. TO it every one looks for information
upon the subjects of interest to himself. The city
reader the telegraph reports aud foreign
news, aud then at his leisure reads the PROPOSE
tions Of advertisers and dips into politics. The
country subscriber however, reads everything,
from the head Of the paper to the last line OF the
advertising page Away from the attractions
aud turmoils Of the city he has leisure 50 to do,
and is benefited by thus doing. Thus every
advertiser reaches the people he dcsires-the
Wholesale dealer principally through the daily
press and the retail dealer through both daily
and weekly. 1t is idle to talk about advertise
mcnts not being read, for observation aud expert
ence prove to the contrary. Sooner or later every
advertisement will be read by every subscriber
who will be Interested or Influenced by its con
tents 1t is true some advertisements are read
more than others, but this is on account Of the
tact Of the advertiser, or the demand in which
the commodity advertised may for the time hap
pen to be- and not the fault Of the newspaper in
