Cotton in California. Tie Oregon Sett7ers.
We have been informed by a gentleman, Avho left
the Pacific coast in December last that two or fflrce
Americans are about to engage in the culture of
cotton in the lower part Of Upper California: and
that they feel confident Of raising superior arti-
Gle and in great abundance. Their rancho or
plantation is not far from San Diego, in lat So
degrees N, the climate being warm and delight
fully fine. .ss '-"-' -


The same gentleman informs US that many OF
the Oregon settlers have arrived in the neighbor-
hood OF the Bay Of San Francisco, in the upper
California, and taken up their abode there. They
report Oregon as poor country-nothtHg like
the one it was represented to be--and, appear
thankful that the opportunity has been offered
them Of leaving it and reaching more fruitful
aud congenial cline. So productive is the land
in the neig ghboEho of San Francisco, one bushel
of wheat sown, frequently yields crop of seven
ly.Gve bushels, and this with very little trouble,
while the climate is so dry and pure that sickness
is almost unknown. To illustrate the remarkable
dryness Of the climate, it is but necessary TO state
that wheel vehicles, furniture, sc, manufactured
in New England of the b,st seasoned timber
shrink up shortly after reaching this section Of Cali


fernia and fak to pieces. unless every precaulion
is taken: American cmigrants are constantly
arriving and settling at Sacramento and other
streams emptying into the Bay of San Francisco
AT the Yerba Baena the English is the principa
language spoken, the Alcade being an American
and tne time is not far distant when this part ol
California will teen with Anglo-Saxon civiliza
ton and the thrift products Of Anglo-Saxon hands.
