W. Broekett, one of the most intelligent of the. Western editors, convey some new ideas of :'rf1atters and things in California. " Y'A strip er, Un il-st arrival at San ranetisco, is astonished sit the great ' a uinber of wind-mills which are to be u In it l parts of the city. But he v il1 cease to be astonished when he re ; et that there is no spot in the world rhaps, so admirably adapted to this ecies of motive power. The winds ai l here every day in (he year, " ninering about noon each day, and ontliitting until about sun set. 'T'hey 1, ornli, alsUi, tmifonrnly from the sate iiter, sweeping inl troi the ocean through the entrance to the harbor. ' Wlen they set in at noon. they con ;. tinue with a steady current until night atid sometines longer. They aflord. >-therefore, a steady, strong and reliable n otive power, which has already been lied to many useful purposes. Mills for grinding grain, pmnps for z. clevating water, turning lts, and .maclnery of various kinds, are pro lled in this way. The wind-sails are elevated above the tops of the houses, -and are to be seen in vaious sections through the city. As their long and ponderous arms ply around, under the impulse of a brisk gale, they impart a very singular appearance to our streets. But I am convinced that, thought our breezes are rather too strung and some ;.times too chilly to be comtibrtable, they will be turned to profitable ac count as manufactures multiply, and " th quantity of machinery is increased. " _ oese winds are also of immense ad. vantage in another respect, in sweeping of} all nalarious influences, and purit . rng the atmosphere. This city is believed to be the heal ,;t inst spot in California, and in my pinion the healthiest city in the world 4 "it the same population. Bilious dis 'eases are almost unknown here, and iseases of the chest and lungs are e uall Fn . iatisn i s othe tjng : Bbton'the :whole, one Iayrave a greater security of life, and more certain immunity from disease at San Francisco, thtan at any other p lace I have ever known. The salu brity of the elimate is made mianifest ini the robutst ap~pearaniice of the mnii, ~p".and the fat, chubby thees of the clil 'fdren. A more healthy looking population -'cannot be found in thle world, nor one -hich appears to enjoy the goodi things~ lit'e with moregus/o. In the initeri -and especially ini the valleys of' the SSaein'entay anid San Joaq~uini rivers, Sbilious diseases I learn are tmore preva lent, thiough even there, tey do not rievail to onie-hmalf so great an extent aupon the praries oft the West. On the whole, I ami e nviniced tat Cialijbr nia is one of the healihiiest countries in the world, and lhe miortality whbich prevailed amtongst the emuigranits of 1849, was to be attribtuted chiefly to -the want of wholsomie food, tlhe expaosed manner in which thtey lived, and time extremely dissipated habits wid hiehte Sprevailed. Btut nowv that, people live '-- ii comfortable houses, aind haven an abundanice of excellent food, aind withal have reformed thtei r habits, one has a little cause to aniticipate sickness ini California as in any other p.'rtion of the world. So fhr as my obmservaition oos, it is indeed the healthiest part of the continent. Notwithstanding all I have written he retofore on thar subject of the style of living in Calitbruia, I fear I have fiIl to convey correct im pressionts in that respect. The cotnitry isa so very *new, and the putblic miind was so fhrei bly unpressed with the recitals of t he terrible suflerings enidured by the early emigrants, that it is diflienut even for one who says it, to realize the vast change in- that respect which has taken ~ .place-within three yeats. laut whatev erci may haive beeni the flhet hieretoibre, ~ t is unideiniable that, at puresent, ai large iajority of the people of Califorrnia hivo in exceethine. cotiri , and mnany * of them even in luxurious style. Ala nyl) of the houses arc ntot only handi~ .. soLuely finished and conavenietlthy ar' ranged, biut are fui'nishecd in a costlIy manner; antd as fihr as I have observed, theji tables ar'e not only abuiidantly ' but in many instances luxiurioutsly sup. plied. Quite a number of pleastiie crriages- of' tall descriptions, (sonme of which are very elegnmt andc costly,) are to be seen in the streets of the chief towns, whilst a greater nmumubei' of both ladies anid gentlemen are to be sceen riding on horseback- for exercise and . amusement; than I have observed at otwo ago, I observed ini the streets of bthis city a splenidid carriage filled with Jadies-and getntlemnen, anid di'iven t'our inhand, hiavinig f'our maagniticentt grey 4mraes in the hna'rness. I nmenition these C~'''l icidents only to prove tha~t $rn'aneisco is rapidly acquirinig the -Ihiti andienstoms of other cities, and b a 4w I, a caigrato hither mtay ~ oy~itthe 4ey will findl a very re na Iedtgrco: of rdtii i 1it and ei r Wti&.hlore notwithstanding the very general belief to the cont-ary in tehe or States. In other new'countr' ::it has been re quired many years to overeolme the difliculties of a frontier settloneint ad4 to introduce the comforts or refine ments of life. But it should be re minebered that California is not to be governed by the standard which regu lates other countries. It has sprung almost fill grown into being; and one year has served to accomplish more in California than ten years has over done in other countries. Cities grew up here as if by magic, and whole neigh borhoods are populated almost in a month. If one 'would have a just con ception of the power of gold, and of the wonders it accoruplishes in a brief space of time he should come to C'ali foruia. No other spot on' earth can exhibit these results in so striking and so rmarvellous a manner. It has been infused into the people and into every department of business a degree of ac tivity and energy which is truly snr prising and to persons at a distant in credible. Life ii. New York. The editor of the New York Times gives the following graphic picture of life in New York. We advise him to turn over the whole matter to Mrs. Harriet Stowe, who will discover in it much iniore to stir the sympathies of the multitude, than can be gathered upon all the plantations in the South ern States, It is, nevertheless, a true picture-true to the life, as ihr as it goes, but it hills fhr short of giving a just idea of the real degradation of at least fifty thousand inhabitants of New York.

The..Banner i gives the following account of the 1 murderer: 1 "This young main not more than twenty-three or twenty-five years of age, has rim a speedy career iii the crimes of the blackest dye. For the murder he was condemned to be hung, his counsel procured a new trial, pre vious to which he broke jail and es caped to Mississippi. Re tlhe met with an acquaintance who gave him a honie and whose hospitality he repaid by seducing his daughter, between twelve and thirteen years of ago, with whom he eloped after stealing a horse r fron her futher. They made their r way to Rock Roe, in this State, where Love got into a brawl and was cem polled to le'ave. lie cane to this place, leaving the girl behind him, whom lie sayslie married at C'olleeville, Miss. The father and uncle of the girl pursued him, and captured him here as above stated, lie confessed that he was the man named in the I proclamation, and that lie was willing to go back to South Carolina. We understand that the father of the girl retised' to see her, and has left her to her own resources for a living." Escape of Love. We understand that Samuel J. Love elicted hi. escape from his captors while on his way to this State. The - particulars as we learn them from Mr. Lowry, who is now here, are as follows: lie was in charg. of Mr. Lowry and an assistant who had proceeded as fir as Columibus, Miss., where they had stopped for the night. They were here - niet by two men known to-Lowry, who persuaded him to discharge his assistant, who they said could not be e depended upon, and who, they believ t ed, would release Love on the first op portunity. lie finally consented, and in a short time took Love up into a room of the Ilotel, and locked a chain which was around his leg, around the I railing of the bedstead, his hands be ing tightly handcuffed, Lowry taking a scat by him, armed with a double-bar relled gun. After a short time, one of the Men proposed to Lowry to step over to a neighboring grocery to take a drink, which he at first declined, but after much persuasion, lie consented, the other man agreeing to guard Love I while he was absent. On his .return in a short time, the prisoner Was miss in ' The guard stated that he had i1 the room a moment to get a drink - of water, and while lie was- out, Love i loosed the tenon ot'the bed-post, slip. ped the chainr.ofl; and *4 .part fhn t waydown the stairs oil ris , retutir 't9 the rom, and'that' hcndeauaiG&P to fire on him but both caps- exploded, -and Love gaining the street, he was - prevented by the darknmess from seeing Stihe direction ho had taken, anid thus efTeted his escape.

A t'righ tfu tragedy recently occurred a ,t hf iwstowni, Iidiana.. The details are thus giv~eni ini the Madison lBannmer: It seems that t wvo brotheris. namied H Iirama amid Warreni Francisco, and well known as respectable and1( peacea-~ bl he citizemns. followed the occupation of' clock peddling. They usually travelled differenmt routes, but made a practice of' m ieetming each othmer frequently. They agreedl to meect at a puic house ini t lie vicinity of' Brownstown, on Friday last. One of' the brothers reached the tavernm, abouimt 9 o'clock, amnd imiuir'ed if his lbreother had arrived, anmd was in farmied by th le lamidhlord that lie 1had( Inot. A fter eating his supper lie called I fr a light and asked to lbe shown to - bedl. Thie landlord infuormaed him that he had nuo candles ini the house but if lie would follow himi lie wou'ldl take him tom b. d. Francisco followved the lanidlordl into a dlark moom: and unadress ted himself' and~ retired to rest.. The bed seemed to- he wet,. and having sonic mmathes- about hime he struck a light. Uporr examininig thme bed lie found that it. wais wet with blood. Discovering a candle near by lie lit it jand look ing unmder the bed, saw the body of his brother with his throat cut r from ear to ear, and perfectlv lifeless. .Fastening the door immedIately, lie p lroceed~ed to load a revolver whIch lie had, but before lhe could do so there was an eff'ort made by several meni to cueter his roomu. Pretend(ing not to be e alarmed, lie asked them to wait i until he dressed himself. As soon as a lie had finished loadimig his pistol lie e opened th dloor', and time landlord and - two other mecn rushad on him-, when :1 lie fired two barrels of' his pistol, im j mediately killing the landlord and one of his4 acconiplices, after which the oth er nmimi fled. s Naw ORLLSANs SUoAR TRADE.-Tll -annual statemeint ot' the sugar trade of 1~ New Orleanis for the year ending r 1st. mnstant, shows that the mtmber of .sugar hiouses in the State of Louisiana is 1,474, two thirds of' which are operated by steam power.

THE CROPs.-The New Orleans Pic ayune of Tuesday last says: We were yesterday shown letters from several of the heaviest cotton planters in the State, whose planta tions lie upon the coast from Pointe Coupee to Milliken's Bend, which state that owing to the ravages of the boll worm, rot, heavy rains, &e., they would lose from one-third to one half their crops. Accompany the let ter from Milliken's Bend was a speci men.of bolls, destroyed by the rot, and certainly more effectual destruc tion we never saw. The greater portion of them were completely eaten away, aid if this is, as the let ter 'states, a fair specimen of the crop in that section, the prospect is gloomy indeed.' - The Abrdeen (Miss.) Democrat of the 1st inst. says the rust and boll worm are proving very disas trous to the. cotton crop in that region.. Planters estimate that the crops will be one half less, than was anticipated a short time since. We learn from the (Ala.) Demo crat of'tlie 3d instant, that the cons crop in Greene county is generally an abundant one. The worm was do ing great damageato the cotton crop.

The late rains, too, have put a stop to picking, and in jured the prosp~ect also. The corn erops have turned out weull." The Lexington (M iss.) Advertiser of the 3d inst. says accounits from ev ery p~ortion of the State speak in the muost extiavagant terms of the abun dant yield of the grain crops.

'The sud den change of Monday last,. inb is teared, will cause the boils to drop. lIn the meantime, the worms have done immnse damage. A friend writing us frmn the Southwest says that the comlints of the planters 'are wvell founded, and that, as every thing in dicates an early frost, the probability is in favor of a shorter crop than is nenerally anticipated.
