We are inclined to think that every thing
Congress will likely do in the matter Of
southern troubles this session will tend to
increase rather than diminish the unpopu-
larity of Radicalism. If Congress does
nothing, that will be we'll for the Republi.
cans. But as sure as anything is done it
will be done badly. While we do not be-
lieve that anything can save doomed party
from destruction. 1t would be better for the
country If Radicalism gave up the ghost
without any frantic asd unayailing efforts
for life. -. -

All the miasmatic complaints, in other words,
all disorders generated by unwholesome ex-
halations from the earth or water are prevalent
at this season. In every section subject to the
visitation of fever and aguc or other forms OF
intermittent disease, the causes which produce
these malades are now actively at work. This.
therefore, is period of the year when the in
habitants OF such districts should prepare theii
systems to meet the unwholesome conditions Of

ants. recommended by time and experience, as
means of fortifyng the system against all en-
demic and epidemic mnlades, stands Hostetter's

tive is held throughout those regions. 1t is
literally domestic staple in the swampy and
mephtic localities which lie on the borders OF
many of our Large rivers. and in the neighbor

is the time when the inhabitants Of al malarions
districts should put their systems and constitu

The Surgeons Of the NATIONAL SURGICAL

18th day Of November, and remain until
the 18th day of December. 1674-one month
at their old building, No S1s Bush Street. be-
tween Kearny and Montgomery. San Francisco.
This is chance for help which every sufferer
should take advantage Of. The hundreds Of pa
tents treated by them during their former visits,
are all rapidly being benefited and cured. They
treat successfully all cases Of Paralysis; all de-
form,ities Of the Face, Spine and Limbs; Diseased
Joints; Diseased Eyes and Ears; Cdtarrh; Private
Diseases; Diseases Of Females; Piles Fistu'a, etc.
No hopeless cases are undertaken, and it really
does seem as If no cases are hopeless in the
hands of these skillful surgeons.
They are preparing all the machinery necessary
for the S,ceedish Movement Cure; Medical Baths
Machinery to equalise the circulation, restore Para
lyzed Limbs, etc; and much finer outfit Of braces
and appliances, than heretofore. All who com

IRON. The demand for this product on this
coast seems to be on the increase. The San
Francisco Rolling Mil is now, by its pudding
furnace, converting a great deal of cast iron
into wrought iron. The supply of old wrought
iron is no longer equal to the demand. Stimu-
lated by the increasing demand, the iron fur
mace near Portland Oregon, has resumed OPP
eratons, and is making large quantities of iron,
most of which finds ready market in San
Francisco. We doubt much whether there are
better iron mines in the world than we have
within a few miles of Auburn, Our iron beds
seem to be inexhaustble, the ore OF good quail
ty the mines easy of access, and convenient to
the great trans-contnental railway; still they
not worked. We know not why this should
be. We have the cheapest fuel in the country
near at hand, and everything else, SO ia. as we
know, essential to the establishment Of first
class smelling works. One Of the grand features
of Placer's future will be her iron mines, and
tho sooner they are opened the letter w.
know no better chance for the investment OF
capital, and why some efforts are not made to
direct it to these iron beds is one OF the unac-
couutabies

great many are talking of planting trees,
and. sure enough, now is the time to put the
matter to practice. Every house should have
shade trees around it, and at least a small or
chard. Those who are not thus supplied, should
neglect this important item of comfsrt and beau
ty no longer. While people in town are setting
out small orchards and shade trees, farmers
should be extending their orchards and vineyards
as much as they are possibly able, pre- paratory
to the introduction of drying machines in the
neighhorhood, and the establishment of an i'm
portant branch Of industry that shall prove a
source Of revenue now and for all time. that
will greatly enhance the value of foot-hil farms,
and insure the future and lasting greatness Of
this section of country.

FARMERs.-The season, thus far, has been
more than usually favorable to the farmers
Large fields OF Summer fallow are already sown,
and the work of plowing is being pushed ahead
with all the force available. Should the season
ontinue favorable, the acreage of grain this
ccoming year will exceed any year since the set
tlement of the State by white men. The far
mers in this and adjoining counties are sanguine
of good harvest. Last year the crops in this
county were poorer than ever before, and as two
bad years have never yet come together, it is
not reasonable to suppose they will. 1t is this
fact, more than any other, doubtless, that is en-
couraging our farmers to unusual efforts The
farmer is hard man to discourage and 1t is
we'll that this is so. They are, one would think,
more than any other class, always hopeful, and
hope is the acme Of our existence
