pondence between Thompson Campbell Esq,
Of this State, and Hon. Hugh Mccullough,
Secretary Of the Treasury, in regard to the
action of California in rejecting legal tender
notes as currency, and accepting them
only as an article of barter or trade. The
Secretary is plain spoken in his opinions on
the subject, and says this refusal of Califor-
MIA was an indirect assault upon the tnan'
ca system of the Government, and equiva'
lent to sympathy with the rebellion.
All will remember the contest in the
Legislature upon the Specific Contract Act,
as we'll as upon the various bills to receive
legal tenders for taxes, and to make them
the currency Of the State. The supporters
of the Administration comprised almost the
entire Legislature, and large majority of
that body decided in the most emphatic
manner to reject greenbacks as the currency.
In this action they were stoutly aided and
defended by the Union, Alta and Bulletin.
the leading Administration papers of the
State; and to such an extent did these papers
agitate popular feeling upon the subject,
that at public meeting held in San Fran
cisco, to discuss the propriety of the Specific
Contract Act, speakers who advocated the
adoption of the legal tender currency, were
hooted down, and Mr.. Cheeseman, U. S. Sub
Treasurer, barrel y escaped from signal vio
II L., n ~. J.I
followed by crowd, who cried 'get a rope"
"hang him." ETC., and was finally driven to
a refuge in the Occidental Hotel. His only
otfense against the populace was an earnest
but manly advocacy Of the national currency.
The letter of Secretary McCullough has
again excited the ire of the papers abovel
named, on the currency question, and they
have been engaged in attempting to write it
down, and rendering its sentiments unpopu-
lar with their party in this State. They
remain true to the interests of the importers,
and wholesale mercantile houses of Califor
MIA, and fight for the pockets of those from
whom they mainly derive support, without
regard to the necessities or reputation of the
national finances or credit. They are in
tens y loyal, and fierce in their denunca'
ton of every man who differs one iota in
sentiment from them, but yet do not hesitate
to embarrass the Government seriously, by
discrediling and rejecting its currency.
The press, aided by the wholesale mer-
chants of San Francisco, have manufactured
sentiment in California, which is consider,
ed by the authorities at Washington, in
direct antagonism to the interests of the
Government. And it would seem that the
National Administration has arrived at the
determination to test the question in the
coming State canvass; and in addition 70 the
other questions that give Importance to the
election for members of the next Legislature,
will be the one whether California will ac,
cept the national currency, as has been done
by the Atlantic States, or continue in oppo
sition! The anti-greenback press, quick

wealner IN the early part OF May, is
likely to destroy the expectations of farmers
who are cultivatng grain crops in the foot
bills. Most of the valley grain is said to
look we'll, but upland fields have suffered
much from dry north winds, and lately from
the drought, so that an average crop is now
scarcely within realization. Some fields will
hardly be worth the cutting and others
will not make much more than half crop.
This upon the supposition that wet weather
is over, and long California experience
shows that but few and light showers can

foot.hill farmers are poor.

The New LINE TO CHINA-In view of
the new steam line about to be opened bel
tween San Francisco and China, some inforl
nation in regard to the distance from point
to point on the route will be of interest.
The distance from San Francisco 10 the
southeastern point Of the japanese Island of
Malsma, which has been spoken of as a
good place at which to touch, is 4, 100 miles;
to Cape Ava, at the southern end of Niphon,
is 4,474 miles; from San Francisco to Homo
lulu, 2,lOO miles, and to BONN 5000 miles
The whole distance to Shanghai through the
Straits of Matsmai is 5,373 miles, or about
twenty one days steamng at $50 miles per
day. This line once established, ninety days
will be sufficient to make the circuit of the
globe. AS compared with the old routes,
nothing will be experienced from the typhoons
Of the China sea, the hurricanes Of the Bay
of Bengal, or the fearful storms which pre-
vail in the straits of Malacca.
