" A stranger, on his arrival at San Francises
is astonished at the great munhor of wind mil!
j. - _
which are to be seen in all parts of the city
: " ' But he will cease to be astonished, when lie 10
fleets that there is no spot in the world, perhaps
so admirably adapted to this species of motm
power. The winds prevail here everv ?!iv b ;b
, year, commencing about noon each day, an ]< ?>
tinning until about sun sot. They cotue, a.-uniformly
from the same quarter, sweeping h
, ; fioni the-ocean through tin- entrance to the iiar
bor. When they set in at noon, they continu
with a steady current untii night and sometime
V longer. They aflbrd, therefore, a steady, stroni
aiid reliable motive power, which has ahead1
- 1 7 been applied to many useful purposes.
Mills tor grinding grain, pumps for elevating
water, turning laths, and machinery of variou
??, .> immolled in this way. The wind-sail
uiuVo, i - r ,
are elevated above the tops ot* the houses, am
are to be seen in various sections through the ei
ty. As their long and ponderous arms pi;
around, under the impulse of a brisk gale, the"
impart a very* singular appearance to our streets
But I am convinced that, though our breezes ar
rather too strong and sometimes too chilly* to b
; comfortable, they will be turned to profitable ac
pf. : count as manufactures multiply, and the quanti
tv of machinety is increased. These winds ar
also of immense advantage in another respect
in sweeping off a!i malarious influences, and pu
rityiug the atmosphere.
This city* i? believed to be tlie healthiest spo
~ . ? in California, and in iny opinion the healthies
in the world of the same population. Biliiou
diseases are almost unknown here, and disease
of the chest and lungs are equally rare. Rlieii
? inatism is more prevalent than perhaps any othc
form of disease, and yields readily to medica
treatment; B'.it on the whole, one may hav<
a greater security <f lite, and a more certain im
munity -from disease at San Franci-c >. than a
any other place I have ever known. The ^ulu

bust appearance of the men. and the fat, clmbb;
v v faces of the children.
. A more healthy looking population cannot b
found in the world, nor one which appeals toon
joy the good things of life with more gusto. Ii
the interior, and especially-in the valleys of th
Sacramento and Sati Joa-piin rivers, bilious db
eases I learn are more prevalent, though ovei
there, they do not prevail to one-half so gna
an extent as upon the prairies of the West. Oi
the whole, I atu convinced that Calif-ruin is on
of the healthiest countries in the world, and th
mortality which prevailed amongst the emigrant
of 1849, was to be attributed chiefly to the wan
. - . of wholesome food, the exposed manner in whid
r they lived, and the extremely dissipated habit
which then prevailed. But now that people liv
in comfortable houses, and have an abundance r
*' excellent food, and withal have reformed thei
habits, one has a little cause to anticipate sickness
in California as in any portion of the w >rl<!
So far as my observation goes, it is indeed th
healthiest part of the continent..
? Notwithstanding all 1 have written he-'-tofor
on the subject of the style i?r I7\ing in CVnifiiYivk
1 fear I have failed to convey correct impression
in that respect. The country is so very new
and the public mind was so forcibly impresses
with the recitals of the terrible sufferings endt;
?J >- U is (bliicii!
rea oy me e?nv cungiau^, .. .
? even for one who sees it, to realize the vast chang
in that respect which h;is taken place within thru
years. But whatever may have been the fac
heretofore, it is undeniable that, at present,
. large majority of the people of California liv
in exceeding comfort, and many of them eveu ii
luxurious style. Many of their houses arc no
only handsomely finished and conveniently ar
ranged, but are furnished in a costly manner
and as far as I have observed, their tables
not only abundantly, but in many instances luxu
riouslv supplied. Quite a number of plcaMir
carriages of all descriptions, (some of which ar
very elegant aud costly,) are to be seen in th
streets of the chief towns, whilst a greater uum
ber of both ladies and gentlemen are to be sec-i
riding on horseback for exercise and amusement
than I have observed at other places of the sain
size, a day or two ago, 1 observed in the street
of this city a splendid carriage tilled with ludie
and gentlemen, and driven four in hand, liaviii;
fourjnagnificeiit grey horses in the harness,
mention these trivial incidents only prove tha
^ San Francisco is rapidly acquiring the habits am
customs of other cities, and that those whoemi
grate hither may be convinced that they wil
find a very reasonable degree of refinement am
civilization here, notwithstanding the very gene
ral belief to the contrary in the older States.
In other new countries it has required man;
years lo overcome the difficulties of a frontie
settlemeut and to introduce the comforts or rc
. fiuenients of lite. But it should be remember?
that California is not to be governed by th
standard which regulates other countries. 1
has sprung almost full grown into being; am
one year has served to accompli>h mure in C.di
fornix than ten years lias ever done in oinercouu
trios. Cities grow up hero a> it' by magic, am
whole neighborhoods are populated almost in

to persons at a distance almost incredible.
The Farmer not proprri.v Estimated.?Th
following, which we clip from an exchange, em
bodies truth and good sense. If the aspiratio
of Farmers were half so strong to elevate 11ici
sons as Farmers, as it is to make merchants an
professional men, and pore Lance loafers, .w
should soot) bo taught to look to the agricultui
nl for the host bred, as well as the best I'm
men in America:?"It is h lamentable fact, ilia
the farm* r does not occupy the elevated po^lio
in society that his occupation justly entitles hii
to. lie is looked upon fjuite bolow the hiwvei
physician, divine, artist, merchant or merchant'
clerk. To be a farmer, is^o be nobody, a iner

1 vided h- never seeks to elevate himself above

s cioiy.' Iiei;ce comes the desire of bop to es- _
- cape, not so much the drudgery of their employment
as from the idea that they are looked up- _
on and estimated as mere drudges.
> What blindness, folly, and false Hiiil osoi liy i
this ? The results of these false premises is tiiat j
- the professions are crowded to the starvation ^
, point: cleiks not only go begging but become "c
u l>eggars,or worse; merchants are multipli'-d. and

A Trwpcsw Wnro's Oi'ivmvs.?The Nash
s j viile American of tli?* 1 Mh instant contains a
s I letter from Dr. McNairy, a leading Whig of that
1 place, in which the writer says that he has "never to
- in his life voted for but cue Democrat, and that fn
V was for Andrew Ewing, on personal grounds, t!:
)' lie has been a Whig always. lie was a Whig el
' when it was an easy matter for him to count his

ber less associates there than he can now count ti:
* Whigs who will not vote for Scott. lie was for cl
* Clay when the Banner was for Jackson." le
e And yet. lie goes on to say, "/ will not vote t?
for Scott. With all my d'-votion to Mr. Clay,
were he now living and in his prime, I would not
vote for him, if brought forward by the tnen
1 wh i nominated, and supported by the influences tj.
1 which sustain Gen. Scott. The men who nomi
* n a ted liini are as corrupt as the influences which
s support him are dangerous to the South and the
* Union."
r "And I will vote for Pierce. I know him as w

ESi-itisia Colonial Biulo.
Political r. latiuus h> tw- i: Croat Hritan and n.

changes. The Colonics are now ciitru-lcd with t?

*' '! he nllitir:- of each Colony aie administer- d by
their local f.'gi-Iuiures. To t'a bodies all (Ja'
bind cflicers arc responsible, and removable by
them. The imperial Government lias retained ^
simply a negative oil their act ?, which is rarely
^ interposed. The Colonies impose their own taxe
es and provide their own budget. As they are
c unrepresented in the llritish Parliament the moth
t l'1
er country has come nearly to recognise the pnn
a ciples for which we took up arms. The Colonics ll
f' are no longer the channels of oiTieia! patronage

extension of power in the Colonial Legislatures,
11 and the dependence of nearly all who hold ofii- s<
' cial trusts on them, instead of the home Govern- ol
e incut, as heretofore, the maintenance of political ti
's sovereignty is incompatible. jt
s These remarks have been suggested in noti^
cing the great relaxation which has taken place 4,1
in the colonial dominion of England, in various c.
^ parts of tho world, which increases in proportion r<
to distance. It is not simply that Canada with
* her other North American provinces are held by
! a thread which becomes weaker every hour, but
as we have seen in the Cape of Good Hope, and ll
as we shall see at no distant day in Australia, in a
proportion to tho remoteness of the settlements <r
^ and their non-insular character, will be the difli- i ],
' cnlty of holding sovereignly over them, llerj
j Indian colonies form perhaps an exception to this [ '
description of uncertain rule. Tim native popu- | '
(! lation are of a race le-s civilized than tlicit con- : e,

j her North American and Australian colonies. J n
i Tlicv have been settled by people of her own j
' I blood, her own tin ws and sinews. When she j 11

'' past, hold (.11 to Colonial rule and authority with j
^ t lie same indomitable stubbornness. To i\??ir colonies

lions, adverse, to dependence and monopoly, aj?e

i growing into favour among that class of Uritish
n Statesmen who are likely to lead Ihiti-h eotiui

< with most tenacity, is rapidly losing political inr

Mail Arrangement..
"We arc requested by Mr. Gameweix, to state that '
e Mails for Charleston, Augusta and Columbia, w;?i
! closed at 8 o'clock. P. M. until the repairs of the
iil Road are comj leted.
Our Merchants.
We are happy to state that our Merchants have cometcd
their arrangements for the transportation of their
>ods to this place, and shortly our market will besupied
with very extensive stocks. We therefore invite
ir country friends to come?wc are certain they will
id it to their advantage, for Camden will not be outme
cither in paying high prices for produce, or in
lling goods cheap.
Communications.
We have received several communications relating
our District election. Wc can see no good to arise
am an animated and perhaps angry discussion of
e subjects proposed, and therefore respectfully deino
their publication.
12?"We are requested to t all attention to . r:decrement
of Mr. Joax P. Dacm, who propos f ; '
iasc many articles sometimes thrown aside as worthss.
The old adage that a penny saved, is a penny
atle, is worthy of a thought here.
Southern School Books.
In our next we intend to publish a capital article on
lis subject from Do Bow's Commercial Itcvicw.
Waking Up.
Some of our cotcmporaries, we arc glad to see, are
aking up, at last, to their tru? interests. The Curonian
and Lauretisvillc Herald, have advertised their
^termination not to continuo tho credit business in
ic publication of their papers.
The credit system has ruined thousands in diifercnt
apartments of trade, and thousands more arc destined
i share tho same fate. Of all business men, who have
ic strongest reason lbr disliking this system, Printers
o those men; for it is a fact, beyond dispute, that ae !.?
nmnnnt nf omnloved. Publishers
;iuiiis iu mv ?r ...,.r .
Newspapers lose more than any other class iu the
immunity.
Self-preservation is the first law of nature, and it is
.'Haiti if we do not protect our own interests, no one
iil perfotni this duty for us. "\Vc have come to the
^liberate conclusion that our :ntercst is to adopt the
ash System in tlie publication of our paper for the
iture. Therclore, alter the first of Oc tober, no paper
ill ho sent to new subscribers unless paid for in admce,
and every paper will be stopped at the expiraou
of the time paid lor, and old subscribers in arrears
ecu not be .surprised to liud their accounts m proper
md.s for collection. We arc necessarily compelled to
lopt this course, as we have already lost much by the
lau of waiting for payments to be made.
Wo make no further excuse for sending our bills to
lose in arrears, and trust that our friends will oblige
5 by early remittances, as to each the amount issmail,
ut to us in the aggregate it is important, as ourcapiil
and income are both interested.
Godey's Lady's Book.
October has been anticipated by Mr. Godey in the
ublieation of his beautiful Hook, which contains a

of the intercut and final redemption of the

l<o a pledge of the faith and honor of the St,ate,

The Fishery Qeestiox.?A public meetii
was held at Halifax on the 3d instant, at wlii
a memorial to the Queen on the fish; rv questii
was agreed to. The memorial argues the reasc
ahleness of the. terms of the fishery conventic
and deprecates any change of it. They allu
to the reported otter of the privileges of ttshii
in the bays on the coast of the United States,
an equivalent for that of fishing in the bays ;
the coast of British America, as an artifice. T
proposed boon, they allege, would Ire valueless
the colonists, and. in conclusion, they -ay:
"Your memorialists deprecate all mgotiatii
all compromise on the subject. The America
