In these days, when mining claims have
turned out so badly, and so many men have
been ruined by speculating in bogus stocks,
the men who have money to spend and in
vest, have been obliged to look for other
means of making money, and accordingly,
the raising of cotton has become a promi-
nent branch Of business. The Mexican
provinces of Sonora Ind Sinaloa, at pres
ent are the familiar grounds, and everv few
days companies and individuals are going
from here with view to cultivating the
cotton lands in those provinces. The new
government of Mexico is said to be yery
favorably disposed towards the business,
and somo parties that have been there
about eighteen months, have already sue
seeded so well that the it is reduced to q
certainty that the Pacific coast is to be one
OF the greatest Gotten growing countries in
the world. The expense is said to be but
very little compared with the profit, and the
profit 10 such that the rush to get into the
business is now commencing to be very
great. Those whe have cotton growing are
now looking very proud, and hold their
heads high up in the air, and those who
have not, are hoping when they shall be in.
In fact, for those who have small capital
and energy, there is no safer investment
In the world, and when your miners have
made their pile of two or three thousand
dollars, they can go to Mazatlan and live
easily, in the very finest climate in the
world, and make money with very little la
Dor. The only objection to Mexico is the
internal troubles that have been, and still
are convulsing that unhappy country, and
those who fear to invest on that account are
locking to the islands of the Pacific. The
Sandwich and Society Islands are found to
be far ahead Of any cotton countries, both
for cheapness Of labor and fertility of soil,
and the French government at Tahiti offers
every iadueement to capital and labor tv
come there. In short, in every direction
from San Francisco new fields of labor are
opening, new means of investing capital are
found, and though the Pacific is . new
held, the seeds are being sown, which, when
time has allowed them to mature, will place
her, for industry and wealth, far ahead of
the Atlantic shores, and our children will
hereafter see such an improvement in all
her bounds, they will forget from whence
their prosperity arose, and the old Atlantic
be considered as an old fogy country and
Young America will have taken leave of
the Bowery and Chatham streets, and taken
up his residence at San Francisco, where
even now you find very fair likeness of
him around the engine houses and standing
on the favorite corners of Montgomery
street. BY the way, l must hereafter tell
you something of our fire boys and fire de-
partment, and give you an insight, if pos
sible, into one of the greatest and most
growing interests Of California, viz: the
wine making. We now have all kinds of
native wine and brandy, from light red to
champaine, and equal, in every respect, to
the imported articles. Till then au reroir.

The roads are in splendid condition for
sleighing, and people are inclined to take
advantage of it, for every one who can get
two boards for Runners, a dry goods box for
body, and quadruped to haul them,
have their sleigh ride. Several of the
large companies about here hare been dis
charging good many hands in the last
week, but whether it is TO give them a
chance for the, holidays, or whether the
claims arc fzzling, deponent sayeth not.

Bdy- The editor Of the Nashville Dispatch, in
moralizing about Christmas, winds up with the fol-
lowing which should find its way to the hearts of
his readers
"The are hundreds Of little children in this city
whose homes Santa Claus will not visit on Christ

nor because they less interesting, less worthy or

Charity COyereth a Multitude OF
Sins"

The proverb I've quoted, no doubt, youv We all heard,
Tho from it, at present. claim but word
'Tis the covering part, will take for my theme;
1t has flashed DER my brain like a midsummer
dream,
Me thought, as looked at my TROUSERS and
VEST,
My COAT too, that they were none of the best
| rummaged my pockets my funds they were low,
At the party wished to appear as a beau,
For lass with blue eyes and dear little feet,
Peepng out from her crinoline, promised TO meet
The writer of this, but will not say when,
For kissing and telling was never yet fair
| was puzzled not long, for I thought of the name
OF REXINGER 4 CO., and went to:the same,
For my small stock Of cash was fitted by RICE;
And my dear little charmer declared looked nice
Could scarcely believe when told from whose aid,
ia been suited so well for the small sum paid;
had cash enough left for the wants Of the day,
And TO purchase two tickets, at night for the play.
My simple advice, TO each bell and each beau,
If you want TO dress will see REXINGER Il co.
By dealing with them, you will save cash for your
dinners.
They can't cover all SINS but can cover all sinners.
