CAyr WILLIAM DrLLoS, OF this city,
who ven, out to southern California last
Fall and .ettled near Santa Barbara with
an idea Of remaining permanently, re.
turned few days ago after an absence OF
seven months. He speaks highly OF the
country in some respects, especially Of its
climate, but, take it all in all, thinks that
the regions around Wheeling will com.
pare iaTorably with that Of any other pOr-
ton Of the globe. APPropos to this So
journ Of the Captain on the Pacific coast
We notice a letter from Santa Barbara in
the las, number Of the GreeRbrier hide
ps1dsai, in which the writer speaks Of the
country in very courteous and moderate
terms. He speak, Of "spclI7 OF dust
blowing lasting Tor days through which
he had Just passed, and he says that the
dust clouds we're such that you could not
see across the street al times This may
agree with the inyalids Who SEEK that
country, but We should think it wpuldkill
we'll people pretty soon. According to
this writer Santa Barbara Is mostly
made up Of land and real estate 'peCuIa'
tors, and wealthy people Uho come here
for the climate 1t seems that it is ~these
Spectators Who have sent papers Cd East
BY the ton, blowing about the country.

three times its value, and emigrants an
pouring in by the hundred, influences

IhaVe heard il intimated that the e1is-

the appearance Of their loans on the mar

ttEeir credit would hardly have been so
good as Il has been. Honduras, contain

900 and O,O6O, and Costa Rica less than
half that number with small resources,

cases, but they illustrate what have said

The Observance Of Decoration Day in New-York

parently CORDIAL and sincere yesterday than
on any occasion since the custom of strewing with
flowers tho graves Of those who fell in
the War of the Rebellion was instituted.
The City Departments, Produce, Stock, and
Gold Exchanges, the banks, and many downtown
business houses in this city were closed all day, and
the Post-ffice and Custom-Ohouse opened for .
short time only in the morning. The display Of BAN
ners noteworthy especially along the line Of

where tho statues Of Washington and Lincoln were
abundantly decorated. Previous to the march down

NJ 7. Mcmahon, DR.. Isaac /. Hayes, the Arctic ex-
porer. and Col. T. Bailey Myers Prayer was
offered by the Rev. Henry Highland Garrett, and
Decoration Day Hymn was sung.
The procession yesterday was the largest OF the
kind ever seen in this city. The graves Of Alexan-
der Hamilton, Cen. Philip Keaney, Capt. Lawrence.
and Lieut.. Commander Percival Drayton, in Trinity
Churchyard, and the monument TO Gen. Richard
Montgomery, at St. Paul's, were strewn with flowers
In Greenwood Cemetery addresses were delivered
at the Soldiers Plot by the Rev. Dr.
Noah Hunt Schcnck and Capt James Tanner.
At the grave Of Lieut.-Col Kimball an address was
delivered by Col. Rush c. Hawkins. At Cypress
