wogdrous city With nearly 10000
inhabitants. With architecture which
would honor auy city; with nothing
that looks young green, or unfinished;
and kept b order by it's police, snperi-
or 20 any other city in tho land You
ale amazed at seeing q city looking old,
and ripe, aad finished, having twelve

mammoth zs; hsyiag siE miles Of
wharfage already built; having huge
steamships, that run regularly not on

Islands aud Oregon Iii this city cap
Iital las centred, and has been wisely
and generously used to build public in
stiiutious, free schools, hospitals, asy-
l0ms for The blind, for the deaf and
dumb, ioy the orphans, aud for all in
distress San francisco il, by her po-
s.ton, BY her energy and wisdom, to
bc the elect lady Of the coast, and moth
ing but earthquakes will interfere with
her growth In tie centre Of mines
which have just begun to be developed,
in the midst of region unequaled in
the world tor agricultural productive
ness, with me1plored mines Of coal and
iron, wih unmeasured forests OF the
finest timber ever found anywhere,
with one continental railroad already
built, and auothcr-thot TO st. Louis

great commercial and manufacturing
city
California can support 20,000000 Of
people By her own resources, and the
whole Pacific slope twice that number,
at least One eighteenth Of all the land
bin the State was given by CONGRESS, to
be devoted, as fast as sold, TO public
schools. In addition 10 this, Congress
gave her 100000 acres Of land to be
devoted u internal improvements; and
the State has wisely decided that the
inside Of the human head is the place
+! 10 begin improvements, and has set this
also aside for schools and public edu-
catiou She also taxes all the property
OF her people for schools. The free
/ school system Of Massachusetts, is
adopted, aud there is not child in the
State which may not be educated at
pubic cost, These schools are es-
tablishcd as fast as population requires
and are already Of high order This
i free school system is justly the pride Of
the State, and no new State can boast
81 better And as goes California, 50
/ will 10 al the Pacific slope, There viii
/ be no better schools in tie land than
/ these will be. Both California and Or
egon have determined to have col
lsgc or university that shall be like a
steam engine on the top Of hill, TO
draw up what il At the bottom Of tie
bill Ia every neighborhood, it is al
ready true, that the sehoolmaster is
abroad The churches, Of course, are
n their infancy, bot they nro well or
gained, manned with an able, devoted
aud talented ministry. They have tie
righ. ring 70 them.
The Sabbath is iar better observed
than | expected and while six military
companies march through tho city, to
fie and drum every Sabbath, and strike
tie stranger very unpleasantly, yet
they 60 out into tho country 70 spend
the day am Lappy to say that they
are Germans or Italians 10 company
81 Americans thus desecra.es the day.
Aud as 70 Sabbath schools. they are
perfectly bev.tchIng / have never
seen 81 large proportion Of the popu-
iatioA gathered into Sabbath schools,
nor daer schools Whatever these peo-
pc take bold d, thcy DO it with a
heaFlness that is truly refreshing L
