COMING PROSPERITY - NATIONAL AND LOCAL. The work of the Custom House Investigating Committee in connection with the various industries of the country has led its chairman, the Hon. Fernando Wood, to the opinion that the United States are "on the eve of the greatest prosperity the American people have ever seen, from the Revolution down. It will not be fictitious, and based on the stimulant of champagne and speculation, as after the war, but on the strength of our native constitution and enforced sobriety. The reaction in 1873 gave us a terrible headache, for we had been running riot and were intoxicated. Those who survived feel to-day better and stronger than ever before. We have been taught a good lesson in enforced economy, and the precept of economy is now practised by even our millionaires. It permeates the whole social fabric." Mr. Wood is recognized not only as a successful and astute politician but as a far-seeking, sagacious man of business, and his position in the New York World which came to hand a few days ago were some elaborate dispatches from West Point detailing the evidence given before the Board which is examining into the case of General Fitz John Porter. This case is of remotely local interest from the fact that Col. Walter S. Davis of Anaheim is one of the accused officer's strongest witnesses. Col. Davis went East some weeks ago to give his evidence. He is now in Boston, and will return as soon as he transacts some private business in that city. The following extract is from the World's telegrams about the case: Colonel Walter S. Davis, a citizen of Southern California, was the next witness. He gave his evidence in a vigorous and occasionally dramatic manner, and excited the greatest interest and attention on the part of every person present. He was an officer of the Twenty-second Massachusetts Regiment and Assistant Adjutant-General of the First Brigade of Morrell's Division, Porter's Corps. He first testified as to the excessive darkness of the night of August 27, the crowded and confused condition of the road, and the impossibility of moving the troops till morning. He said that General Porter was so urgent and anxious to have the men moved promptly and rapidly that he (Davis) sat up all night making his preparations, so as to be ready to start his brigade at the first indication of light, which he did. As to the 20th of August he was the officer who posted the skirmishers. He found out from a prisoner they took that the force in Porter's front was Longstreet's and communicated this information. But the most important evidence he gave was of a conversation he heard and which never before appeared. He said he was within a few feet of General Porter on the morning of the 29th, when General McDowell rode up and said in an excited and peremptory way, "Porter, you are too far out; take your men back into the woods. This is no place to fight a battle." General Porter thereupon sent him to order back his brigade, and he heard nothing further that passed between him and McDowell. On his cross-examination the Judge Advocate did not succeed in weakening this part of the witness's evidence. He was evidently a methodical and accurate man, and produced an old diary, as an evidence of bona ides, which he kept all through the war, and in which he had recorded the events of every day, with names, dates, places and conversations all noted. Pastoral Value For pastoral services queries from the vaunt have been in community to past history in and more especially to Georgia, who has praised 30 acres of past land is of a low moisture grass makes a heavy soil produces a heavier crop the land. Counting pastured and their ceded that of cattle The Colonel compared blue grass is to Kentucky to Georgia and the South The cultivation of farming purposes has been the dairy counties owe anxious to find grass under their as well as the southern same feeling. The valley bottom lands its yield is heavy good success, but it is in moist soils or those Many of our dairy plains, hills, valleys Throughout this spatiation differ. W grass suitable at all Bermuda, though often like a native, as it is transplanting. It w or dry, upland or low thrives in proportion soil. Some declare or crawl under a wall it is a great spread for myself. If then this grass points, it might point those who are in new ent those who keep live a migratory life that cares for them spring on the plains grasses. When they higher up the valley on the stimulant of champagne and speculation, as after the war, but on the strength of our native constitution and enforced sobriety. The reaction in 1873 gave us a terrible headache, for we had been running riot and were intoxicated. Those who survived feel to-day better and stronger than ever before. We have been taught a good lesson in enforced economy, and the procept of economy is now practiced by even our millionaires. It permeates the whole social fabric." Mr. Wood is recognized not only as a successful and astute politician but as a far-seeking, sagacious man of business, and his position as chairman of the committee above mentioned gives him an opportunity to acquire information on the subject upon which he gives such an emphatic opinion. Substantially the same hopeful views were expressed not long ago by John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury, so that we have the coinciding opinions of two men of radically different views on almost every national question. Turning from national to local prospects, we fancy that the signs are as auspicious for a speedy return of prosperity to our town and vicinity. The settlement of the water question (and we assume that it is settled) once more starts us on our upward career. There is no use glossing over the fact that to the deplorably muddled state of this water question is due in a great measure the dullness and inertia from which we are unmistakably emerging. Even if we had not added greatly to our population in the past two years, an unlimited and reliable water supply would have stimulated those already here to make improvements which, under the circumstances, they did not feel justified in doing. These contemplated improvements, however, were deferred, not abandoned, and by this time next year will in all probability be consummated. The irrigating ditches are the arteries of the community, and when water—the life-blood of the place—courses through them steadily and continuously, there must of necessity be a response in a quickened activity and re-awakened vim and enterprise. There are strong grounds for hope, too, that new-comers in numbers will settle among us. Two or three cars of immigrants arrive in Sacramento daily from the East, and some of them must of necessity find their way here. Let us see to it that, once here, they be induced to cast their lot with us. Let each citizen of Anaheim constitute himself, in a measure, a real estate agent, and give the stranger such information as he seeks. Expatiate to him on the productivity of the country; call his attention to our admirable schools and church buildings. Tell him that this is a law-abiding, peaceful community, and in other ways endeavor to raise within him a desire to become one of us and help the development of the country. TO THE SAN FRANCISCO PRESS. Day after day we scan the columns of our San Francisco exchanges in the hope of finding some editorial reference to the silver mines or to the coal mines back of Anaheim, but we search in vain. The city press ignore of General Porter on the morning of the 29th, when General McDowell rode up and said in an excited and peremptory way, "Porter, you are too far out; take your men back into the woods. This is no place to fight a battle." General Porter therupon sent him to order back his brigade, and he heard nothing further that passed between him and McDowell. On his cross-examination the Judge Advocate did not succeed in weakening this part of the witness's evidence. He was evidently a methodical and accurate man, and produced an old diary, as an evidence of bona fides, which he kept all through the war, and in which he had recorded the events of every day, with names, dates, places and conversations all noted. He could tell the incident that impressed each circumstance on his mind, and had the whole matter so clearly before him that he made his evidence vivid and picturesque. Col. Davis's evidence was corroborated by Major Earle, of Colorado, who also heard McDowell order Porter to take his men back into the woods. At the outset of Major Earle's cross-examination the Court and spectators were all put into good humor for the day by a ludicrous misunderstanding of a question. The witness had testified that the hour for marching on the night of August 27-28 was postponed from 1 to 3 o'clock in the morning on account of the darkness of the night, the blocked condition of the roads and the tired-out state of the troops. The Judge Advocate asked him at what time they did start, and the witness answered, "At 3 o'clock." Judge Advocate—Were you up at 3? Witness (slowly, and with embarrassment) Why, no sir; of course not. Judge Advocate—You were not up at 3? Witness—Up a tree? Certainly not. Amid the laughter that followed the question was explained, but it was some minutes before proceedings could be resumed. We have in another article given our reasons for believing that there will be a speedy return of prosperous times, and that the general depression will soon be lifted from the nation, the State, and the county. While it is to the influx of farmers and mechanics that this county must owe its solid prosperity, there is another class whose presence here is desirable, and who will naturally gravitate this way when business affairs are once more prosperous. We allude to those people who have more money than health—more wealth than lungs. The years of 1874 and 1875 were the most prosperous ever seen in Anaheim. Not only was much of our vacant land bought and settled upon during those years, but they were crowded to overflowing with the class of people mentioned above, who spent the winters here for their health's sake. The hotels were taxed to their utmost capacity, and such prosperity was enjoyed by every kind of business that a proposal to build a large hotel for the accommodation of visitors was eagerly entertained, and $30,000 worth of stock was subscribed. The project came to a disastrous end, and we merely recall it to remind the town people that while these health-seekers were wintering among them, business of every kind was flourishing and money was easy. It is very desirable, then, that everything be done to advertise the claims of this place. It is possible that during thrives in proportion soil. Some declare or crawl under a wall it is a great spreader for myself. If then this grass points, it might pave those who are in need those who keep live a migratory life that cares for them spring on the plains grasses. When they higher up the valley or low ravines.

This gives e Also at another p land from one acr large two-horse w ever seen.—Corre TO THE SAN FRANCISCO PRESS. Day after day we scan the columns of our San Francisco exchanges in the hope of finding some editorial reference to the silver mines or to the coal mines back of Anaheim, but we search in vain. The city press ignore us with a persistence which is exasperating and inexplicable. If these mines existed in the imagination of a local enthusiast, there would be some excuse for the contemptuous silence maintained by the journals of the metropolis. But here is a district in which between four and five hundred men are at work, in which thousands of dollars have already been expended, and which gives promise of becoming the greatest silver-producing region on the Pacific Coast, and still the metropolitan journals don't even damn it with faint praise. It is not because they have no knowledge of the status of affairs. The Gazette has certainly written up the silver and coal mines with a fullness which leaves no room for ignorance on the part of any of its readers. We send our paper to the San Francisco Call, Chronicle, Bulletin, Post, Alta and Daily Stock Report, every one of which make frequent clippings from the Gazette concerning matters of very little importance compared with the mining developments in the Santiago hills. If the editors of the above mentioned papers desire to assist Southern California in developing its mining interest, now is the time that good words from them will be appreciated. We want capitalists to be informed of what is going on here; we want their money and enterprise to help us to build mills and manufactures. This is a county of magnificent possibilities, and nowhere could capital find a better field for remunerative investments. Give us a fair show, messieurs of the San Francisco press, and you will find us not ungrateful. The Massachusetts Democrsts have made the following nominations for State officers: For Governor, J. G. Abbott; Lieutenant-Governor, Wm. R. Plunkett; Secretary of State, Henry C. Dewing; Treasurer and Receiver, Gen. David N. Skilling; Auditor, John E. Fitzgerald; Atty-Gen., Richard Olney. General John C. Fremont is in Los Angeles. He is on his way to Arizona, of which territory he has been appointed Governor. A Herald reporter says: He informed us that he will remain in Los Angeles a day or two for rest, and will then continue his trip to Arizona. In company with Judge Carrillo, Gen. Fremont visited his old headquarters in Bell's block. He says that there he noted very little change. He also recognized the spot upon which the battery had been located. In all other respects the changes have been so marked that it required more than a bird's eye view to assure him that he was standing on the same spot that, over 30 years ago, was signalized by so many exciting incidents of his early career. Gen. Fremont is a man of barely medium height, of spare frame, of distinguish appearance, and an eye and air which denote the nervous temperament. His face is surrounded by a thin fringe of whisker which is now unmistakably gray, though in earlier years it was probably as black as the raven's wing. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 22.—The Odd Fellows Bank of this city has resolved to wind up its business and has made an assignment. The assets of the bank, it is believed, will secure and pay all depositors, and stockholders are responsible and able to pay any deficit that may arise. The priests were Mission in 1769 a long distance away to support the bishop. The San Diego woman now lives San Luis Rey, at least one hour of age, Mr. W. timbers for the Mountain, at least this city.

Pastoral Value of Bermuda Grass For pastoral service, in answer to many queries from the various dairy counties I have been in communication with, I can refer to past history in the Southern States, and more especially to Col. A. J. Lane, of Georgia, who has practically demonstrated it on 30 acres of pasture on his farm. The land is of a low moist character, and the grass makes a heavy, vigorous growth, and produces a heavier crop than can be put on the land. Counting the amount of stock pastured and their increase, the value exceeded that of cattle pastured in other ways. The Colonel compares it in this way: What blue grass is to Kentucky, Bermuda grass is to Georgia and the South generally. The cultivation of grasses suitable for grazing purposes has been a study by many. In the dairy counties of the north the people are anxious to find out the most valuable grass under their conditions. The central as well as the southern counties have the same feeling. The sowing of alfalfa in the valley bottom lands forms a fine pasture and its yield is heavy. Alfalfa has met with good success, but its adaptation lies chiefly in moist soils or those capable of irrigation. Many of our dairymen are scattered over plains, hills, vales, and mountain hights. Through this space soil, climate, and adaptation differ. What many would wish is grass suitable at all times and in all places. Bermuda, though originally an exotic, grows like a native, as it spreads without sowing or transplanting. It will grow in any soil, wet or dry, upland or lowland, sand or clay, but thrives in proportion to the fertility of the soil. Some declare that it can swim over or crawl under a water-course, which shows it is a great spreader; and this I can vouch for myself. If then this grass had a fair trial at various points, it might prove a great blessing to those who are in need of pasture. At present those who keep clocks of sheep and cattle live a migratory life, at least the herdsman that cares for them. We find them in the spring on the plains feeding on the natural grasses. When these are gone they pass higher up the valleys or take to the foothills. The following circular has been sent to the vinegrowers of the State: SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21. SIR:—The annual meeting of this Society will be held in this city on Wednesday, Oct. 2d, 1878. You are earnestly requested to attend, to consider the proposed Treaty with France reducing the duty on wineries; a measure which will injuriously affect every man in the State who grows or deals in native wines or brandy. The annual election of officers will take place at this meeting. Changes in the organization, to promote its efficiency, will be proposed. Bonded warehouses for our brandy, in the East, and many other important subjects will be considered. It is to your interest to support the State Society, and to help it by your presence and counsel. More can be accomplished by and through this Society than by any other action; more attention is paid to the resolution or the action of the State Society than to the most urgent individual or local representations. Legislature can be influenced; our wants and our just demands will command attention, and our interests can be subserved through the medium of the State Association far better than by any other mode of action. You are personally appealed to, your presence is earnestly asked to instil life into this Society, to start it anew in its re-organization, and to uphold its existence as the great and best medium for the protection of the interests of the wine growers of California. You are requested to call at the office of the Secretary at 10 A.M., from whence members will proceed to the hall which will be secured for the meeting. Very Respectfully, MANUEL EYRE, Secretary State Vinicultural Society. Stealing Books from a Court Room CHICAGO, September 25th.—A Tribune's Marquette, Michigan, special says: Yesterday an examination was proceeding here to secure testimony to be used in the case of the United States vs. Samuel J. Tilden, to recover deficiency in his taxes. In the course of the examination, certain books containing the accounts of the New York Iron Mine were being used. Tilden's counsel, the Hon. Thomas Harland of New York, handled the books during the proceedings and laid them in a pile near the door. About half past 9 o'clock as the Commissioner was quietly proceeding with the depositions, two men suddenly swung into the room one covering the If then this grass had a fair trial at various points, it might prove a great blessing to those who are in need of pasture. At present those who keep flocks of sheep and cattle live a migratory life, at least the herdsman that cares for them. We find them in the spring on the plains feeding on the natural grasses. When these are gone they pass higher up the valleys or take to the foothills or low ravines. There for a time they browse on the low bushes or feed in the green vales. In some of these retired vales clover is found to grow luxuriantly, giving fine pasture and cutting various growths. A clear running stream and health are the gifts in these situations. As the summer months come on, the brook has lost its charm, the verdure of the hilltops changes to brown. The green leaves and young growth of the low shrubs look bare. A higher step is taken to the hights of the snowy peaks, within the pastoral retreat for the rest of the season, and here must the faithful herdsman and the rest of his happy band retire and remain till the frosts of winter drive them back to home quarters within the vale. In regard to the quality of the hay, I can say it is fine in texture, far better than the coarse alfalfa, but its quality is less. In answer to this I can speak of a grower in Georgia, in 1872, who sold $114 worth of grass off one acre, it selling on the field at $20 per ton. This gives over 5½ tons to the acre. Also at another place, on very rich bottom land, from one acre was cut at one time eight large two-horse wagon loads, the finest hay ever seen. —Correspondence Rural Press. The rich man in Memphis does not take kindly to the charge of the Avalanche, that he contributes nothing to the sufferers. One of them sands the editor a pungent note, saying: "The Citizens' Relief Committee or the columns of the Avalanche will tell you that you lied in your Tuesday's paper so far as I am concerned. Don't do so any more about a citizen, or anyone else who has contributed. Don't take advantage of your accidental elevation to the tripod to sneer at abuse and slander gentlemen. Remember that others have only left you behind because you are the most worthless thing about the establishment." To which the Avalanche replies that the writer "owns some of the finest blocks of stores on Main street." That he proposed to give a certain sum of money to the Howards when their funds fell below $3000, and that they "met his insulting proposal" with a "storm of indignation." That while thousands of dollars have been contributed by poor people, the writer, who "personally occupies a bomb-proof position at White Sulphur Springs, has contributed the paltry sum of $50." The rich men of California seem not to be one whit better Marquette, Michigan, special says: Yesterday an examination was proceeding here to secure testimony to be used in the case of the United States vs. Samuel J. Tilden, to recover deficiency in his taxes. In the course of the examination, certain books containing the accounts of the New York Iron Mine were being used. Tilden's counsel, the Hon. Thomas Harland of New York, handled the books during the proceedings and laid them in a pile near the door. About half past 9 o'clock as the Commissioner was quietly proceeding with the depositions, two men suddenly rushed into the room, one covering the other by thrusting himself between the books and the officers, while the other passed the books to a conspirator on the stairway. At this juncture, Mr. Whetmore, the witness, pursued the robber to foot of the stairs, but by means of a carriage standing prepared the villain escaped under cover of the night. As soon as the papers could be issued, over which there was some delay owing to the lateness of the hour, mounted officers started in pursuit, but succeeded only in overtaking the empty carriage, about two hours after the robbery. It is said the evidence being produced from the books was making an overwhelming case against the reforming Presidential candidate and necessitated resort to desperate means on the part of Tilden's counsel. Flashes from the Middle Ages. "The Prelate of the Diocese," says the Panama Star and Herald, "has fulminated the following malediction against some unknown incendiaries in his district: 'Cursed be said excommunicated ones of God and of his blessed mother. Amen. May their children be left orphans and their wives widows. Amen. May the sun be darkened to them by day and the moon by night. Amen. May they go begging from door to door, and may they find no one to do their good. Amen. May the plagues which God sent down on the Kingdom of Egypt fall upon them. Amen. The curse of Sodom, Gomorrah, Dashan, and Abirom, who for their sins were swallowed up alive, fall upon them. Amen. And these curses having been said, plunging the candles into the water, let him say. As these candles die out in this water, so may the souls die of the excommunicated ones, and may they descend into hell with the soul of Judas the Apostate." CANTON, Miss., Sept. 19th.—In justice to our many friends, too numerous to mention all over our beloved land, we issue this, our circular, to notify them that we are no longer in need of provisions or money—our every want is supplied.

The San Diego Union says: From the old woman now living at Josefa Peters' near San Luis Rey, and whom we believe to be at least one hundred and twenty-four years of age, Mr. W. B. Couta learned that the timbers for the Mission came from Smith's Mountain, at least sixty miles inland from this city. The old lady says that after the timbers had all been nicely hewed and prepared, and blessed by the priests on the mountain, on a certain day a vast number of the stoutest Indians were collected and stationed in relays of about a mile apart, all the way from the summit of the mountain to the foundations of the Mission buildings in the valley near this city. At a given signal the timbers were sprinkled by the assembled priests on the mountain, and were then hoisted on the shoulders of the Indians, and were thus carried to the first relays and changed to their shoulders, and so on, all the way to San Diego, without touching the ground; as it was considered sacrilege to have them touch the ground from the time of starting till it arrived at its final destination in the church. As there are an immense number of these timbers, it shows the zeal and devotion of the Indians at that date, and their obedience to the reverend Fathers. CEDAR RAPIDS, (Iowa), September 20.—Mr. DeWolf, the Custer scout who was advertised to ride twenty miles in succession in one hour and five minutes, accomplished the feat in 56½ minutes—8½ minutes less than the advertised time. DeWolf rode the last mile without saddle or bridle, and as he came in on the homestretch the crowd on the grand stand rose and cheered vociferously. A letter was received at the Treasury Department recently from Bestland, Virginia, dated August 20th, saying: "Will you be so kind enough as to let me have one hundred and fifty dollars? I want it to buy two mules and haul timber. I can get five or six hundred dollars per year by hauling. I will send you the one hundred and sixty dollars in the middle of next October, 1879, and do not fail to do so. If you will let me have the money you will send me by the mail to Bestland, Essex county, Virginia. By your compliance with the above oblige," etc. GRAND Opening!
