What a splendid busine.-s he was doing !
Sales mounted upwards, at the rate of
seventy, eighty, and one hundred thous

We givo below mi interesting postscript
of letter received bv a gentleman of this
city from his friend" now on LuninesB to
California. It gives a char nnd striking
view of rho golden Slate, and prtfent
many interesting facts concerning its'soil,
climate ami mineral wealth, -that wo have
not heretoibrc met with.

Ji'ocs, Cltrvat'i'iM unj (Queries.
1 agreed to give you bi icily my impres
sions of this portion of our country, tho
characteristic- of its people, its present
mid kprospec'tive condition, production,
&c. . .. ,,
Tho climate. This has surprised me ve
ry much. 1 was prepared to find it mild
er by far than in the corresponding lati
tudes in the Atlantic States. This is clear
ly correct, but the climate of Sun Francis
co is an exception to that of any portion
of the world, so far as 1 am informed. In
this opinion I thiuk you will concur, if not
ulrcady fully informed upon the subject,
upon an examination of the annexed
statement.
1 havo before ma an authentic table,
from which 1 am enable to determine and
give you tho mean temperature in that ci
ty at sunrise and noon, and the mean and
extremes for each year, from 1 b5I to Jrta7,
incisive, lhiring that beriod the mean
tompcratuie for each month at sunrise
ranged from forty one to fifty five, and at
noon from fifty two to seventy one, de
grees. J lie greatest degree of cold iu th
six years wiu twenty five degrees, or sev
en below the freezing point. This may be
set down as i)"sr)y the extremeoi cold ev
er fill here. In three of the years the
mercury did not fall to the freezing point.
In l:) the lowest point was above free.
zing the extreme of heat
was ninety-
eight, degrees. This occurred in Septem
ber, lbJ'J, with w hich exception it has not
risen above ninety degrees, and is a very
unusual temperature for San Frnncisco,
though much below the gneatest heat in
the interior. In 1S.11, the highest tempe
rature was eighty-four degrees ; and in
the thermometer did not rise abov
eighty-five degrees.
The rainy season. This cohitneneei in
December, and may be said to terminate
in March. During the first more rain usu
ally falls thav in any subsequent month;
A mark cl abatement is observable from
the middle of January to tho middlo of
February. One third of the average year
ly rain falls before tint first of January, one
third in January and February, and the
remaining third' subsequent to the first of
March. No rain falls usually from the
lii's( of May to the first of December. This
will gi'cyoii a light idea of "the rainy
season," but I think there i3 scarcely any
expression which conveys to the people of
the Atlantic Mates such an erronious im-
pression. iMinng this season it U lielicv-
I I
ed generally to rain most of the time, thi
- bi,Unfc to U'P7t dark and cold
thft
sun obscured and the horizon overcast
with impenetrable clouds, mists, and dark
vapors, accompanied with chilling and
piercing winds. This, however, is very far
from being correct. The wind ntthis sea-
son of the year seldom blows strong
' enough to become annoying, and is nev
, er chilling. The temperature ns will have
! been seen, is extremely equable, and with
I reasonable protection, a person's feet nev
er get coin, although lor heurs engaged in"
parsing over damp pavements and muddy
i streets, i wice only during tho last ten
I vears bns snow fallen in the streets of San
Francisco in sufficient quantities to be vis
' ible upon the streets. Tho sun is unol
i oured and the sky clear a great portion of
i the time. During the venr lS.lij the sun
shons brightly 1? days in December, fif
teen tl.iys in January, twenty three days
in February, twenty one days in March,
nnd twenty days in April. Dminn tho
same mourns it, rained twelve days in De,

The productions of this State, not less
than its climate, aro by far the most re
markable, although but in their in
fancy, any of the groai States of this con
federacy. Itpioduees in abundance and
in great perfection, all the cereal grains,
fruits und vegetables of the tompernt lat
itudes. Grains aro produced in many in
stances, crop after crop, without rcsowing.
It is a fact clearly authenticated, that
tho fifth crop or barley, taken from a field
of fifty acres, from a single sowing, five
years previous, in tho county of Santa Chu
ra, in tho year of lH.lfl, averaged a yield
per aero of forty-three bushels. Koots and
vegetables generally, prow during the
winter mouths in the open air. Now po
tatoes, l.eets, carrots, cabbnges, green peas, "
tomatoes.turr ip", squashes, salads, Jce. 4c!
aro now abundant in this market. In a
largo section of tho southern portion of
the State, cotton, ricm, tobacco, and sueir
are cultivated with success aiAl profit,
while the fig, tho ulinond.the olive and thft
orange are produced tho latter in fjre.it
n muunoum, ui uqu.iiny unsurpassed.
