Editorial Correspondence. San Francisco, Cal., I September 2b, 1SC9. J Most visitors to the Pacific Coast make a mistake in rushing through to this city, without stopping in the State Capitol. They will fiad it a pleasant and profitable rest from the long railroad journey to stop over at Sacramento two or three days, take a good look at the city, get acquainted with its people, and drive over the Park, through the suburbs, and to soma of the " ranches " in the vicinity. What strikes the visitor as Bomewhat strange on hia first acquaintance with, the city is that abetter location, if one exists, should not have been selected for the site, rather than in this low bottom. Bat the Gold excitement of 1810-50 created such a rush, and hurry that not much time was taken in prospecting for a townsite the miners and traders were glad enough to find a level plain on which to erect their rapidly riBicg city, without thinking much of future floods. " i Almost any other people with the experience of Sacramento would have abandoned the project of buildiDg a city here twice has the town almost suffered destruction by fire, and twice completely inundated and almost swept away by floods; but. with romarKable California vigor the ravages of fire were soon replaced in a more substantial manner; and everything has been done possible to make the the city safe from the recurrence of an overflow. Large sum3 of money have been expended in throwing up a strong levee all round the city, and at city and private expense the town itself is being raised above the reach of the highest known floods. The two principal business streets and adjoining lot3 have been filled in with earth to the heighth of about ten feet, and the other parts of the city ; will be raised in course of time. ; The business houses are many of them only one and two stories high, with arcades or porches reaching ; en tirely across the wide pavements, such as are seen ia New Orleans, or oa Fourth Street, St. Louis. There are, nowever, a lew stately public build ings, and some very attractive resi decces, one of the latter just being completed by bupenntendenttJroeker, of the Central racinc Kailroad. is said to be the fincstin the State; but, as a whole, Sacramento would not be called a tccU built city. Its wholesale business is not very heavy, but its retail . establishments and shops ; are large, attractive, and with well filled stocks; and, altogether, there is con siderable of an air or business 6tir and prosperity. The population is slightly above twenty thousand hardly twenty-five thousand, as claimed; it is certainly considerably smaller thaa Evansvillc. Only two of the streets are improved, but they in the most substantial man ner, with Nicholson pavement. Ihe sidewalks are almost entirely of plank, even on the business streets; and frame is the prevailing character of the . buildings. The municipal in debtedness is over one million dollars, the rate of taxation about four cents, and the taxable property below ten millions. So, it will be seen that there are some cities in a worse condition, financially, than ..Evansville. "While Sacramento has not near as much improved streots and sewerage as Evansville, she has more railroads, and a good system of water-works. It is really the railroad center of the State, and the roads now being constructed and projected will give greater prominence and prosperity to the place. Outside of the railroad shops there is not much manufacturing done here. There has, however, recently been started a large woolen mill, which is turning out flannels, bankets and woolen goods in large quantities, which are seat to the jobbing houses of San Francisco, and compete successfully with articles of Eastern manufacture. The mills are operated mainly by Chinese labor, and they are said to make the very best of workmen, owing to their expertnessand great imitative capacity. The Superintendent of the mills made a statement tome which was to iiae, at least, rather surprising. lie said that California did not produce fine qualities of wool; that oar Central Western S:ate3 were better; that the best breed of fine wool sheep when brought to this State soon degenerated. When I told him that I had always been under the impression that California was an excellent wool-growing region, he replied that it was excellent for raising and pasturing sheep, but the quality of the wool was not so good. From what I had heard I expected to find the climate of" Sacramento quite mild, but it is warmer for the la3t of September thaa I anticipated, being really oppressively hot in the middle of the day. A friend, who has been a citizen since 1851, and for many years previous a resident of New Orleans, says that the climato of this city is. very much like that of New Orleans, except the rains. The winter, or the rainy season, comes in the last of November or in .December, but very little cold weather is experienced, and never cr very rarely any snow. Flowers aro seen in the gardens at any season, and vegetation flourishes throughout the entire year. There is with us in Iadiana some as hot or hotter days than here, but with us the summer ia shorter and the cold weather much more severe. In Sacramento, however, the great attraction of the climate is that the summer nights are always cool and comfortable. . Sacramento had a hard struggle to locate the State Capital here, but it 13 now undoubtedly fixed beyond danger of change, as the State ha3 undertaken the task of building one of. tho finest Capitoh in the Union. It has already cost more than a million dollars, and beforo it i3 entirely completed will have expended another million; but it will be a magnificent edifice. A large forco of workmen are engaged now in pushing it forward so as to make it suitable for the. next session of the Legislature in the winter. The Legislative halli and committee rooms are being finished in the highest stylo of art, and the people cf the Golden State may well be proud of their Capitol. .

There are a number of former Indianians among the old citizens of Sacramento. There are few more prominent or more highly esteemed than Newton Booth, formerly of Tcrre Haute, now the leading wholesale grocery merchant of this city. Many cf the old merchants and produce traders cf Wabash, White and Ohio Ilivers will remember Cyrus S. Coffin, a citizen of Indiana, for many years a . produce and commission merchant of New Orleans. He has been a resident ci Sacramento since 1S51, and u one ot her prominent and mo.st worthy citizens. Indianians visiting this city will always receive a cordial welcome from him. The most pleasant way to reach thi3 city from the Capital, is via tho Sacramento River, on one of tho California Steamship Company's fine packets. This wa3 the only mode of conveyance until rcc and the departure of the steadier va3 the great event of the day; but there are now two lines of railroads to this city from Sacramento, and they take off much of the trade. It is, however, a pleasant relief from the constant railroad travel to take the steamer. A riJe " down to the Bay," as the trip to San Francisco is styled by the people of Sacramento, gives the traveler a new view of the country to any he has yet seen. For many mile3 below Sacramento the banks are quite low, the bottoms very wide and fertile, and and except where protected by levees, are annually overflowed. The country, as we pass down the river, presents very much the appearance of the "Coast," or lower Mississippi plantations. The river at times is quite narrow, and it would seem almost impossible for our huge steamer to pass, but a3 we near this city it widens out into magnificent proportions. Last evening as we descended, we were afforded one of California's lovely sunsets, which are claimed to rival those of ..Italy in softness and beautiful ; hues. We had left the warm atmosphere of Sacramento behind us, and as we neared the Pacific, the cool breezes came most welcomely over the " coast range," and the rosy and golden West was lit up grandly with , the glories ot departing day. Night Bhut out from us the view of the Bay and the Golden Gate, but we will have abundant opportunity to see these in the next few days. J, W. F. . LBIIKE II13M KENTUCKY

IIopkinsville, Ky., Oct. 1,'69. Editors Journal : . . . . While I write, James Robinson's champion ciicus is taking up many a half-dollar from the people of our town and county, which numbers of them can illy spare, bull they go and I expect, estimating everything. a county loses four or five thousand dollars every time a circus cr menag erie comes along. Just here is where the revenue law ought to "come in heavy." Shows ought to bo taxed both for protection and revenue protection to the people red revenue to the Stats. After a silence of some vreeks, have nothing of interest to write. Crops are about mature and, save the wheat, none made this year are firstrate. Tobacco ia not good in this county, but it i3 coming out consider ably under the favorable Fall weather, If the frost delays coming a few weeks it will corner a great beneht on farm ers, for otherwise nearly all the tobacco will have to bo cut green Corn is short, but I nevpr saw such quantities of wheat as an. beirg haul ed off by the E., H. & N. R. Every day it seems oven yet te . crease. By the way, what has become of the E., II. & N. B. R.? Give us an item on that subject. Our people are anxious to bear. When will work on it commence? As I write I am reminded that about four years ngo, a nice little boy of about 14 accidentally shot and killed himself while hunting, and I helped to bury him. Last Wednesday afternoon I helped to bury his brother, a youth ot 16, who had also accidentally shot and killed himself the day before, while hunting". In getting over a fence the lock of the gun struck in such a way as to explode the cap, firing the gun, the ball entering the little boy's face, just under the eye, passing through the Lead. This last wa3 Smith Long, one of the nicest boys in the community. He was the son of G. B. Long, Esq., United States Assistant Assessor. This second accident of the same sort was one of the most distressing occurrences I ever know to take place. Our Fair commences on the 20th inst., and bids fair to -be a success. Wo could hope for the preser.ee thereatof many Evansviliians were our railroad completed. ' We lose many things by. the delay in that enterprise. " But we hope for a better day, and aro yours truly, . Edelweis. LEXTKS FKOjI MASSACHUSETTS. , ! Springfield, Maes., V Sept. 30.1S69.J Editors Journal:, While you of the Southwest have a3 yet, experienced but few of the fore runners of Winter, and are revelling in the g!orie3 of harvest, we have al ready been warned of it3 approach by biting frosts and decaying vegetation. The foliage ia already falling from our forests, and Nature fast assuming that desolate and sombre appearance which strikes the beholder with awe. ; To me there is something grand in a New England Autumn a something, perhaps, indescribable, which impresses man with a profound sense of his insignificance as compared with tho great God above, who produces these mighty changes, and at whose bidding Nature doffs her holiday garb for the chilling mantle of Winter. Summer tourists are seeking Winter quarters, and soon the routine of real life will be'again established. ' Thd crops hereabouts have been for the most part good, if we except fruit, and an abundant harvest has been reaped by the farmers, though corn has been somewhat below the average, we having suffered with the rest of the country from the backward season and excessive Spring rains; yet, oa the whole, the average crop has been abundant. Fruit seems to have become chronically affected in this latitude, and the hopes of the cultivators of the apple and other Fall fruits arc, year afteryear, doomed to disappointment. Whether this i3 due to a radical change in the seasons, or to what cause, there seems to be nothing- certain. The prevailing opinion is, that the diminished amount of snow that falls here as compared with old-time Winters, leaves the roots of the fruit tree more exposed to the action of colcLand to the ravages of vermin, and instead of the excessive production of former years

there is now scarcely enough for tho use of the growers themselves. The general business of iSew Logland may be said to bo fair, though those manufacturing interests that nrc most largely called upon for the Fall and Winter trade arc above this, and this t'uy owe to the demands of the West. The local and retail trade is below the average for the season of the year. As the telegraph has informed you, Gov. Claflin has been renominated by the State Convention, which met at Worcester last week, Wednesday, and also, the entire present State ollieers, except Auditor, Mr. Briggs,prcsent incumbent, making room f or Mr. Endicott, the nominee. It ii understood that Mr. Briggs bread and butter is insured by a District Judgeship, which fact his friends will be glad to know. We have had one year of prohibition, and af ter that a year of " license,1' or free-rum in this State, and the question which has threatened the disruption of the Republican party, is again to be tested this Fall. The friends of prohibition, after the license law had been in force a

year, were clamorous for its repeal and the enactment of another prohibitory statute, and thev were successful in tho last legislature in placing such a law in forca. It was aliected by the aid of Democratic votes, or properly by anti-prohibition votes, the opposi tion believing that by insisting on i clean sweep .and a law making it i nonal offense to sell any liquors spirituous or malt, and making cider the only exception, the law would be come odious, and that they could then trust to the entire army ot laser and ale drinkers, and all "suckers" in gen eral. to help them to elect a free rum legislature this fall, and thus gain them the victory. This is the programme, but the masterly shrewdness ot the leaders in the Republican ranks have cheekmated this little dodge, and the llepub lieans are united, and will now,as afore time place the State right on the records. The Convention wisely left the temperance question to tho people, and it will be settled by them through their representatives next inter. believe the late Gov. Andrew was right, that wo have no right to legis late as to wnat peoplo shall eat or drink; and on general principle, believe that trying- to legislate morality into a people is a fruitless task, and an unconstitutional set Politics in Massachusetts are so one sided on national issues, that it seems decidedly refreshing to have a bit of a scrimmage. The labor relorra move roent which culminated in a State Convention at Worcester, on Tuesday of this week, and on tho strength of which the Democrats hoped tor a par tial victory by a coalition, threatened for a time to divide the Bepublican vote, but that body killed the whole thing by the adoption of a resolution lookiDC to repudiation, and which will effectually drive every Republi can working man out ot the move ment. That labor demands the atten tion of our Legislature, and that it is entitled to its lights as opposed to capital, cannot be denied, 6ut4n my humble opinion, the thing can not be brought about by such steps as were initiated at Worcester, controlled by a few demagogues of the Ladica Democratic 6tripe, and engineered in the interests of that party, it is no wonder they failed to accomplish any thing except the nomination of i ticket of nobodies, and the promul cation of a set ot resolutions which will receive no support except from those whose afhUiations have always been with the Democracy. Thepoht ical horizon is on the whole clear from clouds, and if we mistake not the National Republican party wil repeat its former triumphs in the corn ing election. I cannot close this letter without allusion to the address of Hon. Chas Sumner, before the Republican State Convention, of which he was Chair man. I listened to that speech, and. with hundreds of others, thought him more grand than ever, and it seems to me that.I obtained a better estimate of his great genius than ever before, towering as he did above the sectional questions with which he has i i .1..., , . a wavs hfen lnentinftfi. una nan irr with nationalities. It was simply magnificent! Retrenchment, as practiced by the present administration, has curtailed the manufacture ot srms at the Arsenal at this point, and the present rate 13 about tour hundred per day, The arm now being constructed is an improved breech-loader, and will.it is believed, supercede ail others now in use in our service. Morals in New England are some what better, cr appear so on the sur face, than in your section. Why is it that in old Massachusetts, the home of the Puritans, the birth-place of the Islue .Laws, witch burners and ortho doxy why i3 it.
