contamination is variously caused by mercural
disease, low living, disordered digestion from
unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin,

THE PRODUCTS OF CALIFORNIA.

The soil and climate are particularly tavora-
bic to the growth Of barley, which forms a
larger proportion of agricultural produce here
than in any other part of the world. The
amount raised in 1861 was s. 100, 600 bushels.
Many kinds of wheat are cultivated, and with
great success; the Chilli and Australian form
three-forths Of the crop, which, IN 1861,
ammounted to 100000 bushels. Several
varieties of oats are raised, the crop averaging
from thirty to forty bushels to the acre The
potato thriyes maryelously in a few locations.
The average produce per acre is not larger
than in Ohio, but the tubers are larger IN size,
and smoother in skin. They are from fifty to
one hundred per ct. larger than those sold IN
New York; specimens six inches long by
three inches through, are not uncommon
Many have been seen to weigh four pounds,
and one grew to seven pounds. California
produces tobacco Of fine quality, butthe amount
grown is small. The same may be said Of its
cotton The hop grows luxuriantly, and pro-
duces abundantly, as does also the Chinese
sugar-cane, though the latter is not extensively
cultivated. Many of the kitchen vegetables,
branch Of agriculture in which California is
rich, thrive beyond example. Whole fields Ct
cabbage heads, weighing twenty pounds each,
have been grown; and hard solid heads, with
no loose leaves, weighing forty and fifty
threepounds, are on record. One cabbage
that did not make head, grew to be seven feet
IL md bcjr foot
long on each side. In many cases the cabbage
has been converted into perennial, evergreen,
tree-like plant, by preventing it from going to
seed. The largest squash grown in California
weighed two hundred and sixty pounds, and
the vine which bore it had several others
weighing over one hundred pounds each. In
1857 one squash vine, in Tuba county, produced
one hundred and thirty squashes, weighing
ia all tWenty-six hundred and four pounds!
The largest California onion weighed forty
seven ounces ayoirdupois and measured twen-
ty-tWo inches in circumference. One large red
beet (which may be said to beat alD weighed
one hundred and eighteen pounds, and was five
feet long, and one foot in diameter. The
largest white turnip weighed twenty six pounds,
the largest carrot ten, and the largest water
melon sixty-fve poundsl
In no part of the world DO fruit trees grow SO
rapidly, bear so early, SO regularly, and SO
abundantly, and produce fruit Of such large size
as in California The trees are generally as
large at two years old as on the Atlantic slope
at three or four. Cherry trees have grown to
be fourteen feet highin one year; pear trees
ten feet high, and peach trees to have trunks
from two to three inchesin diameter A sprig

other until the complete re-establshment I'll
the national authority shall warrant it. and /
third, to allow no intercourse at all beyond thel
Federal and within the rebel lines Of military
occupation; across these lines there can be 10 l
intercourse except that Of character ezcu |

The limits of the districts within which the 1
most general trade may be allowed must ne
cessarily be prescribed by the commanding
generals of departments, and these should hI
clearly and distinctly marked by known ge0g'
phical boundaries, or by the enumeration OIL
counties, as to leave no uncertainty as to theH
course or comprehension. The limits OF theI
regions within which neeessaries may be sup

RAISING TROOPS. I

T c Columbus "Crisis" says that
considerable criticism has been in
dulged in respect to the following
paragraph from Gov. Tod's late
proclamation: '"it il" ) hAi'

three o'clok ?. M. of each day4for
the coming week, and that every
loyal man devote hiGlselfto the no

Why did not the Governor ad-
wise every "loyal man to enlist
himself, instead of using the ex-
preston raising troops?" 1.-The
loyal men should volunteen and set
others an example. lfthey do pot
