AN ARMY OF LABoRERs.-Ten thousand men
and three thousand teams employed on the
Central Pacific railroad and probably greater
number on the Union Pacific railroad 1t is es-
timated that the connection will be made and
both roads in running order by April LIST, 1869.
Unless employed upon other railroads or public
works, this vast army of laborers will be seek
ing employment in the mines or upon the
farms throughout the State for it is not likely
that many will return to the Atlantic States.

NEWSPAPER COMMEMORATIVE following taken
from the Yolo Nail should receive the attention
Of the press throughout the state and particu-
larry that Of the country press:
We think the proposition Of conven-
ton, the very thing The fact that SINH
lar gathering of newspaper men took place
several years since, from which no good re-
suited, fails to convince that another one
may not prove beneficial. Without organiza-
ton nothing can be done; with it, the country
press might become all powerful. By all means
let us meet, compare notes and fix up a scale
OF advertising rates, and then enter into obliga-
tlons, TO abide by those rates. We don't know
ABOUT the mutual advantages flowing between
publisher and advertising agents. In our opin-
ION this class of middle-men might be dispensed
with We caunot exactly indorse the policy of
publisher performing all the labor in order that
the agent may receive all the proceeds. Let US
convene; and if the craft won't consider the
suggestion as indecorous, say on GAN FOOLS !"
day first of April next, In such case the as
sembled brains of the State might institute
new order of things dating from an initial period
readily established in the memory.
No possible harm can result from a convention
of newspaper men, and much good may be at
tanned. We think an agreement between pub
fishers upon scale of advertising rates is much
to be desired. In such case advertising agents
would be found advantageous and profitable to
the press. But if competition between advertis-
ing agents is to be based upon systematic and
continued efforts for the reduction of prices the
benefits to be derived from them are at least
questionable. Let us have convention. Any
day will suit us.

The Future Of California.

1t requires no prophetic vision to forsee that
California will soon become great, populous
and wealthy State. Nowhere else within the
limits of civilization are to be found such great
and varied inducements to labor and capital.
The most glowing language fails to truthfully
describe our agricultural and mineral resources.
In the very infancy of our existence, remote from
communication with the populous portions of
the old and new worlds, only to be reached by
an expensive voyage over two oceans or tedious
and dangerous journey across a continent, Cali
fornia to-day ranks first in the yield of precious
metals, in the production of wine, and, in two
short years at most, will bear away the palm by
clipping more wool and raising more wheat than
any other State in the Union. In addition to
this, there is scarcely an element of wealth
known to temperate or semi-tropcal climates
that we do not possess in abundance. Our silk,
like our wheat, already commands premium in
the markets of the old world, and with all this
let it be remembered, that for our productions
we have the world for market Our present
position is the result of the first impulse given
to immigration by the discovery of gold, and is
hardly the commencement of our prosperity. A
new era is dawning upon the Pacific coast. The
thirty or forty thousand immigrants of last year
will be mere ripple compared with the food of
population certain to pour in with the compile
ton of the Pacific railroad Much as the SUBJ
ject has been thought of and discussed, we
doubt whether there are many capable of COM
tho ;,Q,
completion of this enterprise upon the material
interests of this State. In the near future, San
Francisco, sitting by the sea, will take toll of
the commerce of the world. Self sustaining,
California wool will clothe, and California wheat
will feed, the laboring millions of Europe, while
California gold will be retained at home, and the
increase of wealth and population will be felt
throughout the State. There time when
mining seemed to be the principal, if not the only,
reliance for the future That period passed, agri-
culture and manufactures have steadily grown
in Importance. The stagnaton in mining is not
caused by total exhaustion on the contrary, |
our mineral resources are but imperfectly devel-
oped. With the new of cheap labor and
cheap capital, the mining interest will attract
renewed attention and furnish homes and en-
ployment to very many,
We think the time is not far distant when these |
causes will affect Trinity county. The influx
into this State during the next year, or the next
five years, is difficult to compute, and probably
the most extravagant estimate would be the most |
correct. Located as we are, away from any line
of travel through the State, all persons coming
into this county heretofore have necessarily been
compelled to go out of their way unless intend
ing to come directly here. Under these circum-
stances our mines have not attracted the atten-
ton to which their richness and extent entitle
them. We have every reason to be confident of
the future.

that the possession of and claim to public land

void, are reafirmed and it is held to be the duty

total population of the State is $40, so2, and the
