Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY NOV. 13, 1875. In a letter to the Collector of Customs at Boston, on the subject of the importation of wool, Judge Burnham, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, instructs the Collector to hereafter impose on washed wool of any class double the duty to which wool of the first class would be subjected if imported unwashed. Rufus Hatch, the late managing director of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, in a letter to Sidney Dillon, the present President, claims that the Company owes, including supplies on hand, $1,000,000 more than published last February; and that the Company is run in the interests of the overland railroad, and not of the stockholders; and that little is known about the real management of affairs by the home office. Since July 1st the Texas and Pacific has shipped to St. Louis over three hundred car loads of wheat from Dallas, much of which went to flour manufacturing points in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. The yield of cotton in Northern and Western Texas has surpassed the expectations of the most sanguine, and it is expected, and confidently asserted by many, that 60,000 bales will be handled at Dallas this season. The Gold Hill News editorially declares that the sum of $24,000 received by Virginia from San Francisco is mean and contemptible compared with the wealth of the city. It closes its article as follows: "If the people of the Queen City of the Pacific, the possessors of half the wealth of the Coast, can afford to sell their reputation for liberality, generosity and manhood for Santa Ana Hemis." Mr. G. L. Russell, of this neighborhood, has projected a plan for raising a colony for the purpose of emigrating to Mexico. He informs us that the Mexican authorities offer very liberal inducements to emigrants, and that he is bound to go. Mr. James Brown, of the famous Gospel Swamp region, has succeeded through the friendly aid of Mr. W. H. Spurgeon, our efficient postmaster, in obtaining a "special office" for Newport. He has been appointed postmaster, and will receive his commission in a few days. Mr. James H. Fruit has been appointed School Trustee of Spring district, vice Doctor Cummins, resigned. The Gazette's Washington telegram, in regard to the Rancho Losios de Santiago, has created quite a furore of excitement among would-be squatters, they having long regarded the pretensions of land-grant-holders to be fraudulent. The Gazette, consequently is in great demand. Enclosed find the amount of Mr. Ryan's subscription. Mr. R. has acquired quite a reputation as an architect and builder, giving good satisfaction to all who employ him. He is live enough to his own interests to support his home paper. Frank Freisenecker, formerly of Anaheim, has opened a saloon in Tustin City, being succeeded in Mr. Conrad's depot by Fritz Reuter, another Anaheimer. Mr. Spurgeon is erecting a water-tank and wind-mill. Mr. Watson (barber) proposes to establish a bath house in connection with his new shop. Messrs. Bush, Mann and Gilmacher are making extensive building improvements. Bishops Moesser and Kavanaugh were in town a few days ago. The latter delivered a couple of able lectures last Sunday. The former proposes to THE Gold Hill News editorially declares that the sum of $24,000 received by Virginia from San Francisco is mean and contemptible compared with the wealth of the city. It closes its article as follows: "If the people of the Queen City of the Pacific, the possessors of half the wealth of the Coast, can afford to sell their reputation for liberality, generosity and manhood, for the sum of ten cents per capita, we are sure Virginia will manage to get along. But when we look around the State and think how Carson, Eureka, Austin, Reno and Wadsworth have responded to the same call, we are glad there is a State line between us and the city at the Bay." A SAN FRANCISCO paper says: Mr. Charles Victor Hall, the young man who went East about a year ago, with some five hundred fine views of California for the purpose of illustrating and lecturing upon the resources of this State, has returned, after an energetic campaign in the East. He has been instrumental in turning a good deal of attention to California, and in sending a large number of emigrants out here. The Los Angeles papers especially acknowledge their obligations to him. Mr. Hall paid some portion of his expenses by the returns from his lectures, and another portion was advanced by some few individuals in this State, but the deficit he had to make up out of his own pocket. Under these circumstances most men would have turned back much sooner; but Mr. Hall, who certainly possesses an immense amount of energy and pluck, carried his self-imposed mission through. He reports that there are large numbers of people in the East who are desirous of coming to California, and believes that the Centennial will be a most favorable opportunity to call the attention of the right kind of people to this country. If properly supported he will return again for this purpose, and we do not believe the railroad companies and large land holders could make a better investment than to furnish him with means to make another trip. Thanksgiving Proclamation. STATE OF CALIFORNIA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. SACRAMENTO, Nov. 8, 1875. Recognizing and respecting a form of reverence that is universal in acceptance is common to all religious creeds. Mr. Spurgeon is erecting a water-tank and wind-mill.

Andrews is in 'Frised,' purchasing a stock of drugs for the firm of Andrews & Parker. Mr. Edwards has been putting up more shelving to accommodate his increasing stock of stationery.

Recognizing and respecting a form of reverence that is universal in acceptance, is common to all religious creeds, and is admired for its simple beauty by those who profess none; following the only custom of sectional origin that has become national by willing adoption, and in accordance with the proclamation of the President, I, Romualdo Pacheco, Governor of California, do hereby proclaim and appoint Thursday, November 25, next, a day of thanksgiving; and do earnestly recommend to the people of our Commonwealth that they devote that day to a thoughtful recognition of our blessings and our prosperity; to the exercise of the noblest faculties; to individual or collective worship, alone or in accustomed sacred places, and to charity and active good will; suspending all ordinary business pursuits and usual occupations. Remembering that the annual observance of such a day was instituted during a time replete with more than ordinary trials and distress, and by a people who perpetuated it when everything except their own strong faith seemed lost, it becomes us as a community to properly recognize that the record of our closing year is an attractive one, presenting no feature graver than a happy escape from threatened general misfortune; that our State is in every way prosperous, peaceful and abounding in happy homes, and that we have abundant reason to observe the day in the spirit in which it was founded. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the State to be affixed, at the city of Sacramento, California, this 8th day of November, 1875. [Seal.] R. PACHECO, Governor. Attest: DRURY MELONE, Secretary of State. NEW PATENTS.—Through dispatches to Dewey & Co., Patent Agents, S.

The Suisun Republican states that good farming land in Solano county is in good demand now, for the reason that many renters this year made a great deal of money on their crops, and they are now looking for investments for their money; there are also quite a number of Eastern purchasers in the market. Peter Long, of Suisun, Tuesday, sold his farm and improvements, consisting of sixty acres of land, with house and barn, for $9,000, to William Quick.

There is a great flutter of excitement among the New York bankers and financiers in relation to one of their number, Mr. Solomon, a banker and broker, who is charged with an attempt to steal $35,000 in gold from a New York bank. The matter is now being investigated by a committee of the Stock Exchange, and the facts are said to be very clear against Solomon.

The only hope now entertained for the passengers and crew is based upon the statement of Capt. Judine, of the steamer Buckthorn, who saw her foremast while out yesterday. He reported that the end of her mast was burned off apparently between decks, or very close below the floor of the upper deck, which indicated that the fire was below the between-decks, in which case the fire...

Mallory Line, also started out on board of a pilot boat to search for the missing boats. The only hope now entertained for the passengers and crew is based upon the statement of Capt. Judine, of the steamer Buckthorn, who saw her foremast while out yesterday. He reported that the end of her mast was burned off apparently between decks, or very close below the floor of the upper deck, which indicated that the fire was below the between-decks, in which case the fire may have been burning some time, and given the officers and crew and passengers ample time to have left the ship before the flames reached the upper deck and were discovered by the other vessels. It is thought the passengers and crew may have escaped in the darkness on board of the ship's small boats before the fire was seen from the Fusuyama and the steamship near San Marcos. In this event, they would have drifted with the sea thirty or forty miles to the westward before the wind changed to the north-west. The officers of the San Marcos, a steamship lying in the fleet, state that the fire was first discovered about two o'clock. Nothing wrong was noticed on the unfortunate ship until she was wrapped in a sheet of flame, and nothing was seen of her passengers and crew. The return of the pilot boat and steamer outside are anxiously looked for. It is thought they will be in late to-night. St. Louis, Nov. 10.
