FARMERS' AND MERCHANTS' BANK OF LOS ANGELES. THE SMALL FARM MOVEMENT. "The small farm movement" is the term applied in Southern California to those colonization enterprises inaugurated with such success at Lompoc, and afterwards followed up in Los Angeles county at Centinals and Artesia. Guided by this test of experience, the belief is indulged with confidence that that section of the State is now in process of becoming the scene of an immigration "without a parallel in any agricultural region." This anticipation may not be literally verified, but there is solid foundation for the expectation of a liberal immigration in the establishment of these clusters or colonies of industrious and enterprising citizens. They are composed of the best class of population, and will create prosperity even under less advantageous conditions. The opinion is expressed that this rising tide of development in the southern counties will awaken the "jealouay" of other sections of the State, and an apprehension appears to be entertained that "a liberal use of detraction" may be availed of to divert the flow of population from its southern course. The apprehension is illgrounded and unjust, but so far as it is only the expression of a belief that other sections will enter into a vigorous but not ungenerous emulation with the southern CARRIAGE PAINTER!

The opinion is expressed that this rising tide of development in the southern counties will awaken the "jealousy" of other sections of the State, and an apprehension appears to be entertained that "a liberal use of detraction" may be availed of to divert the flow of population from its southern course. The apprehension is illgrounded and unjust, but so far as it is only the expression of a belief that other sections will enter into a vigorous but not ungeneral emulation with the southern counties to secure their share of the incoming immigration, it may be counted upon central, northern and interior California generally will lay before the immigrant their resources and a candid exhibit of the opportunities they have to offer him. They will take a leaf out of Los Angeles' book, and by offering him tracts of their own land on favorable terms as to payment and subdivision, will endeavor to secure him. They do not, we think, recognize any proscriptive claim upon the benefits of his industry in any other section of the State; but while doing what they can and all they can to promote their own development and prosperity, disclaim equally any jealousy of their competitor and repudiate the imputation that they will descend to unfair and dishonest measures of competition. The substantial advantages that California has to offer to the immigrant according to his means, disposition, occupation and desires, are far from being monopolized by any limited section of the State, and certainly do not possess any general preponderance in one section over all others. The success of the Lompoc, Centinela and Artesia colonization enterprises are matters for congratulation in every quarter; nor is it depreciation to confess to surprise at the prices realized for the lands. The details of the sale of the Artesia tract (reported at the time in our telegraphic news) lie before us and are suggestive and instructive. Taking one day's sales we find the 40-acre lots realizing $32 to $55 per acre; the fractional lots, $40 to $52 per acre; the 5-acre lots, $43 to $65 per acre; the town lots, $50 to $120 apiece. This day's sale (the second) amounted to $28,180, and was followed by closing out the tract. These prices are for land that, sold in the whole tract, would have had to wait long for a purchaser at one-third or one-fourth the price; and, when found, he would have been one by himself—one; one family added to the county; one farmer conducting his operations in unsocial isolation. But by this sale ninety families are aggregated in companionable neighborhood. The incoming of the blacksmith, the "store-keeper," the milliner, the shoemaker and harness-shop, the schoolmaster, the preacher—may the possibility even of the barber and an advanced plane of civilization, are all implied in the first success of a colonization scheme. We can enter heartily into the sentiment that would preserve all of this very "good thing" to the counties that have so successfully and handsomely pioneered the way; but we fear that as Great Reduction LUMBER!!

A New Hampshire correspondent says that Capt. John S. Godfrey, of Hampshire Falls, who has gone to California to locate wells, never fails in his "manifestations" as to where water can be found. He works thus: With nothing in his hands, he walks over the ground until the water, if any exists, is approached, when he is affected with a nervous twitching in the limbs, which increases as the water is neared, he all the time acting very much like a person with the bars of a magnetic battery in his hands, and following the course of the spring or stream, whichever way it may lead, regardless of walls, fences, or other obstacles, and seeming to be controlled and directed by some power which he is unable to resist. Capt. Godfrey claims no supernatural power in the accomplishment of his work, but declares it to be simply a sensitive organism or powerful current of electricity in himself, so powerful as to attract him irresistibly to living streams and mineral deposits beneath the surface. During the late war he located all the wells for the use of the army under Gen. Howard's command. Gen. R. F. Butler has written a letter stating that the Civil Rights law does not give any new right in colored men to go into drinking saloons or barbers' shops, but only affects their right in public conveyances, innns and licensed places of amusement.

The state and stripes became the national flag of the United States of America by virtue of a resolution of Congress, passed June 14th, 1777, which reads as follows: "Resolved, that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation." This resolution appears in the Journal of Congress, volume II, page 16th. The flag seems to have been the result of efforts made by Washington, Dr. Franklin, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Harrison and Colonel Joseph Reed. On the 3d of January, 1776, Washington was in the American camp at Cambridge, organizing the army, which was that day created. The Committee of Conference, consisting of Franklin, Lynch and Harrison, sent by Congress to confer with Washington on that important matter, were with him. Col. Reed, one of the alds-de-camp, was also Secretary of the Committee of Conference. The flag in use by the army was a plain red field, with the British union of the crosses of St. Andrew, St. George and St. Patrik on the upper left corner. Several gentlemen of Boston sent to the American camp copies of the king's speech, which alluded to the petition of the Con- MISCELLANEOUS. In the University boat race on the Thames, the Oxford crew won easily. John Mitchell, the Irish rebel, and member of Parliament, died on Saturday. In New England the people pump water with an axe and carry it home in a basket. Granice, the Merced murderer, has secured a change of venue. He will be tried in Pretoria county. An English judge has recently defined "gentleman" as a term which includes anybody who has nothing to do and is outside of the workhouse." It is expected that a bill will be passed by the Assembly increasing the salary of President McMahon to $80,000 sterling. There is abundant testimony that the suffering in Nebraska by the grasshoppers has been greatly exaggerated. At Cincinnati, March 18th, the Republican City Convention unanimously nominated John Robinson, circuit proprietor, for Mayor. Grain is looking well in Alameda county, but the farmers say they must have a few more showers to insure a bountiful crop of cereals.

Farmers in Livermore valley say that they must have more rain soon or lose their crops. The dry northerns have told with fearful effect upon the growing grain. When Caleb Cushing wishes to be particularly agreeable to the King of Spain, he puts the little fellow on the head and gives him his watch to play with. A little girl wanted to say that she had a fan, but had forgotten what it was called so she described it as "a thing to brush the warm all off you with." Another $25,000 cow will never be bothered by blue-bottle flies in this world. The Fourth Duchess of Oneida has been driven home by the Angel of Death. The Idaho Legislature, before the close of its late session, legislated all the county school superintendents out of office, and made the various Agliditors ex-officio superintendents. It cost them $2 to get a blacksmith to pry open a charity box in Philadelphia, and when four cents was emplied out the charitable ladies who had been engineering that box for a year looked an awful look at each other. Petitions of women have been presented to the Governor, some praying for a pardon of Jesse Pomeroy, the Boston boy-murderer, and others for his execution, as a measure of safety to society. Governor Booth's maiden speech in the Senate is highly complimented by the correspondents, who think he will be the most popular orator in that body, and the successor of Matt Carpenter in capturing the galleries. A wood-chopper in the redwoods, near Gilroy, last week cut down a tree in the roots of which he found a tin containing several hundred dollars in gold slugs. Won't there be a rush of wood-choppers to the redwoods of Gilroy. There are young men who cannot hold a skim of yarn for their mothers without winding, but will hold 125 pounds of a neighboring family for the best part of the night, with a patience and docility that are certainly phenomenal.

The massacre of American citizens in Acapulco, which took place some weeks ago, has, ever since the first authentic information of the affair reached this country, engaged the most serious attention of our Government. The proper representations were very promptly made to the Mexican Government through our Minister to that country, and it is understood that the Mexican authorities have promised to make a rigid examination into all the circumstances attending this and similar outrages that have been perpetrated on American citizens residing in Mexico. Simultaneously with the action taken by the Department of State, the Secretary of the Navy ordered Captain Walter W. Queen, with his vessel (the Soranae, 11 guns) to proceed to Acapulco at once and investigate, as far as possible, the circumstances of the massacre. W. H. Martin, agent of the Immigrant Union, passed through the city, en route to Kansas, to escort from that State a colony of about fifty families, many of whom were sufferers by the great grasshopper plague. The proposed immigrants have had an agent in the State for a few weeks, seeking for the establishment of the colony, but the location has not been definitely settled, though it is probable it will be in the lower portion of the State. The party will probably reach Sacramento in about two weeks. Martin informs us that the indications are that fully 75,000 immigrants will come to California this summer. —Sacramento Record. The Healdsburg Flag says that Major J. R. Snyder and O. W. Craig, a Committee appointed by the Vincultural Club, have reported as follows: "The Committee to whom was referred the matter in relation to exhibiting our wines at the Centennial Celebration, at Philadelphia, in 1876, beg leave to report that we recommend that the wine-growers of Sonoma county be requested to meet the Sonoma Vinicultural Club on the 15th of May, 1975, at one ofelig p. x. of said day, for the purpose of taking such steps in the matter as may seem advisable.

Mr. Carruth, editor of a paper published in Vinceland, N. J., was fatalized shot yesterday by Clark Landis, known as the "Father of Vinceland." The affair grew out of an article in the paper which Landis thought referred to him, but in which no names were used. When a girl crops her front hair and pulls it down over her forehead like a Mexican Mustang, and then ties a piece of red velvet around her neck, who can wonder at the number of pale-faced young men that throw away their ambition and pass sleepless nights in trying to raise down out their upper lips? A Calcutta despatch to the Times says the Indian Government expedition, sent out to survey western China, a member of which was recently murdered, has arrived at Rangoon. An attack was made upon it by the Chinese officials. In the fight forty Chinese were killed, and many wounded. Communication with China on the frontier is stopped by bands of armed men. Delegate McCormick's bill to protect the banks of the Colorado river at Fort Yuma, was sent to the Committee of the Whole on a point of order and remained there; and his bills to declare the rights of Mexican citizens under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo passed the House, but was killed by an adverse report of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. It is estimated, says the Bee, that California this year will yield sixty million pounds of wool, twenty million gallons of wine, fifty million bushels of wheat, sixty thousand pounds of honey, and two million eight hundred thousand pounds of tobacco, and fifteen hundred tons of beef sugar! These products combined ought to be worth sixty million dollars. Then comes our fruit and gold export, which may possibly rise to twenty millions more.
