The editor of the Southern California Horticulturist has received from a gentleman in Oakland a letter making inquiries in regard to Odessa wheat, and he has turned the letter over to the Gazette, which, by the way, has come to be considered as authority on this kind of wheat. The Oakland gentleman inquires 1st, the price of Odessa wheat; 2nd, what amount can be spared; 3rd, how much is sown per acre; 4th, what are its advantages. To which we answer, First—Wheat for seed is worth here three cents per pound. Second—Only about two thousand centals were raised in the county the past season, so that there is very little to export. Write to Messrs. A. Guy Smith & Co., or to Miles Bros., Anaheim, who have some for sale. With all due respect to our Oakland friend, we hope he won't be able to get but a few pounds. Every grain that was raised the past season ought to be planted in this county the coming winter. Third—Where the soil is heavy and moist sow forty pounds to the acre. On extremely sandy soil as much as sixty pounds may be sown. It is the experience of growers here, however, that the first named amount is ample for ordinary land. Fourth—Odessa wheat possesses many advantages in this county over other varieties. It will mature in seasons of drought when every other grain would dry up; it will ripen in seasons of flood when other grain would be beaten down. It yields more than other past season ought to be planted in this county the coming winter. Third—Where the soil is heavy and moist sow forty pounds to the acre. On extremely sandy soil as much as sixty pounds may be sown. It is the experience of growers here, however, that the first named amount is ample for ordinary land. Fourth—Odessa wheat possesses many advantages in this county over other varieties. It will mature in seasons of drought when every other grain would dry up; it will ripen in seasons of flood when other grain would be beaten down. It yields more than other wheat. From about thirty pounds sent to a farmer in San Luis Obispo county last year by Miles Bros., eighteen sacks of wheat were realized. But the grand advantage is that it will not rust. It has now had a trial for four years in this county, and the unanimous testimony is that it is rust-proof. We think this wheat will prove to be the salvation of Los Angeles county. All the farmers with whom we have conversed intend to plant most of their land in this wheat; and if a wise Providence sends us bountiful rains, the aspect of affairs in Los Angeles county will be materially changed next year. It will put new life and heart into the farmers, and give an impetus to every industry, investment and enterprise. The outlook is hopeful. Rev. C. Mulholland was elected joint Assemblyman from Plumas and Lassen counties at the late election, but it is now claimed that he is ineligible from the fact that the New Constitution requires a residence of three years in the State a condition of holding office. The old Constitution only required a residence of one year. Mr. Mulholland will carry the case to the Supreme Court to get a judicial decision on the construction to be placed on that part of the New Constitution which says that it (the N.C.) shall be in force after July 4th, "so far as the same relates to the election of all officers, the commencement of their terms of office, and the meeting of the Legislature." A couple of weeks ago an esteemed correspondent of the Gazette described the manifold uses to which the Agave Americana was put by the primitive Mexicans. Another tree equally valuable to the natives of the country where it flourishes, is the cocoa-nut palm. The modest necessities of the simple natives are nearly all supplied by this tree. Its fruit, when green, gives him food and drink; when ripe, it yields oil. The juice of the unopened flower gives him toddy and arrack. The fibrous casing of the fruit when woven makes him ropes, nets and matting. The nut shells form drinking vessels, spoons, etc. The plaited leaves serve as plates and dishes, and as thatch for his cottage. The dried leaves are used as torches, the large leafstalks as garden fences. The trunk of the tree sawn up is employed for every possible purpose, from knife handles to door posts; hollowed out, it forms alike a canoe or coffin. The steamer with Gen. Grant on board business. We were once United States District Attorney. It is a nasty mess. That the above is true can be attested by every one whose business requires them to have dealings with the revenue office. It would appear as if a revenue officer's qualifications were gugged by the number of seizures he makes, just as in some cities the policeman who brings in the most prisoners is accounted the most efficient man on the force. The result in both cases is the same. The policeman is bound to bring in prisoners, whether they violate the law or not. If the revenue officer can find no fraudulent transactions going on in his district, he will make a loud outcry over mere technical violations of the law, which have no savor of fraud about them; and annoy, harass and heap indignities upon men who never entertained the thought of wrong. If there is any department of the government that requires purification it is the Internal Revenue Department. Official returns of the election have not yet been received from all the counties, and it is impossible to give an accurate statement. The question as to whether McKenna, Republican, or Berry, Democrat, is elected to Congress in the Third District is not yet settled. At the present time Berry is a few votes ahead, but Trinity county is not yet heard from. It is known that the Republicans have elected one Judge of the Supreme Court, but whether it is Belcher or Myrick cannot yet be told. —The M.E. Conference at Los Angeles adjourned on last Monday. The meetings were full of interest. The following is the appointment of the preachers for the coming year: Los Angeles District—Chas. Shelling; Los Angeles—M.M.Bovard; Pansdena—E.K.L.

R.W.Bland transferred to Washington Territory. C.G.Belknap, Agent Tule River. —Riverside Press: Some eight or ten gentlemen, including the Rev. Mr. Miller, passed through Riverside last Wednesday on their way to San Jacinto, with a surveyer, in order to look up a location for a colony. They are from the vicinity of Gospel Swamp —we believe the Las Bolsas Grant, which has been confirmed to the grantee, thus throwing out of their homes a large out of one of the richest stocks, the absolute certainty is being constantly impressed upon my mind for equalizing of parcel for shipment a considerable percentage of casks of wines are merged which contain abundant elements for development of their qualities that by careful nursing and ripening would constitute them truly high class wines. There is every reason to confirm this supposition, nay fact, since there are high class wines of four to six years in existence, and the practical nursing of choice wines of the last year show results which would satisfy the most fastidious palate. As the knowledge of the best adapted soil for the different kinds of vines is gradually passing from the phase of trial to that of experience, the first condition of selecting the fittest spot for the growth of each species is becoming better complied with. The diffusion of the best growing vines, yielding superior kinds of juice, is the next guarantee of success. Our planters vie with each other in producing more perfect mista every year, and taught by former mistakes, bestow more rational care up in the fermenting localities and the process itself. The improved qualities of last year's wines shipped cast prove that in the shipper's cellars there is equal progress. Many an importer of foreign wines on examining the better class of California wines will have to confess that it is an injustice to condemn our produce. Comparison will enlighten the adversaries of our wines that each kind if well treated and developed, possesses qualities that allow appreciation of their characteristics; and even our common California White or Mission wine, which trade designates also by the third appellation of Hock, has in its rich vinous taste, its abundance of fruit acids, its rich alcoholic strength, its purity and cheapness, every right to be judged a wine of great body, a wine of its own characteristics, which if aged will show very advantageously, although it is dissimilar to Hock Wine of Germany. Once accustomed to a well-made California white wine, the consumer of common Rhenish wines might be weaned from the latter, and eventually give the preference to American producers. Well-made California Claret, which has had a hard fight before it became, as it gradually is more and more appreciated even in this State, can without doubt satisfy as a table drink, if too full bodied, diluted, and all the more satisfying diluted with the respective proportion of water according to the individual taste, as it should be, showing itself the richer in vinous qualities compared with common French clarets, which are rationally consumed diluted at the family table. Given all this in relation to the commonest California wines, unbiased will do well to acquaint himself with the produce of grapes of a superior character, and a great deal of good may result from the examination of matured California Ricalings and Guteldel, or Burger and White Zinfandel, or the most estimable Red Wine of the Zinfandel grape, this future glory of the wine fields of the State. Patriotism should move growers, mer- The steamer with Gen. Grant on board was expected to arrive in San Francisco today, and there is no doubt that the reception accorded him will be worthy of the man. Not the least feature of the affair is the alacryth which ex-Confederate soldiers have shown in desiring to be given a conspicuous part in the reception ceremonies. At a meeting in San Francisco the other night, a Confederate officer said that they who had fought against Grant could best estimate his courage. Another Confederate said, speaking of Grant: When the Confederate officers and soldiers tendered him their horses after the surrender, he had said: "Keep them; you will need them on your farms." To General Lee he had said when the latter offered his sword, "Keep it; no braver officer ever wore a sword." General Grant had risen to the highest ladder of fame, and he came home full of the honors heaped upon him all over the world. But in spite of all this, we propose to receive him as an American citizen, not as a soldier or a politician. The Confederates would turn out in a body, and it had been suggested that a decorated arch be prepared to be carried in the procession, upheld by a Union soldier on one side and a Confederate on the other. At the same meeting the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That on the night of the arrival of General Grant, the veteran soldiers, Union and Confederate, fire a salute of 26 guns from the sand lot, and if Kearney and his cohorts make any attempt at interference they must take the consequences. VALLEJO, September 17.—Dennis Kearney, his wife and four children passed up on the Napa train this morning on his way to Kellogg Springs to rusticate for a couple of weeks. Kearney will return to San Francisco Saturday night to speak at the Sand-lots Sunday, and he will start back again to Kellogg Springs on next Monday morning. Dennis will probably be a hundred miles away when the salute is fired upon the sand-lot in honor of General Grant. Riverside Press: Some eight or ten gentlemen, including the Rev. Mr. Miller, passed through Riverside last Wednesday on their way to San Jacinto, with a surveyor, in order to look up a location for a colony. They are from the vicinity of Gospel Swamp — we believe the Las Bolsas Grant, which has been confirmed to the grantee, thus throwing out of their homes a large number of settlers who supposed they were on Government land. They intended to dig wells (water is found at ten feet) and raise the cereal crops. The following rates charged for water at Riverside may interest some of our readers: Ten-acre lots—A 2½ inch stream per year, payable monthly, $48. Extra water by the day, 4 cents per inch; by the day and night 6 cents per inch; by the night, 3 cents per inch. The above are rates charged to those who have purchased lands or canal stock. Other persons pay $72 per year for a 2½ inch stream. The Los Angeles City Board of Education have decided not to reduce the teacher's salaries ten per cent. as proposed. They have come to the conclusion that the wages are low enough already. James Smith, laborer in the Santa Clara coal mine, was seriously injured on Monday by a large piece of rock falling upon him. His ribs were broken, and his injuries may result fatally. Mrs. M.E.Johnson, whom the Bodie News describes as "a beautiful young widow from Los Angeles," was married in Bedie on the 9th instant to C.H. Parent. We understand that there has been a meeting of the vignerons of Los Angeles city and they have decided not to sell their grapes at a sacrifice.—Herald. Rodney Hudson, erstwhile District Attorney of this county, has been elected Superior Judge of Lake county. The steam crusher used by Den Mateo Keller of Los Angeles, crushed eight tons of grapes in fifteen minutes. Given all this in relation to the commonest California wines, the unbiased will do well to acquaint himself with the produce of grapes of a superior character, and a great deal of good may result from the examination of matured California Ricalings and Gutedel, or Burger and White Zinfandel, or the most estimable Red Wine of the Zinfandel grape, this future glory of the wine fields of the State. Patriotism should move growers, merchants and consumers to acquaint themselves with the fact that America can rear and develop wines which will occupy places of honor. My assertions do not go so far as to state that California wines in general are equal to European wines; I only maintain, and it is the opinion of many connoisseurs, that there are in many of the former elements to breed them by care and age into really superior wines that need not fear rivalry, and their inherent beauty will be found by palates not vitiated by habitual and constant use of strong spirits. As long as hardly any difference between wines of superior or inferior quality and cheapness, if price is the first consideration for simply a sound wine there will be little inducement to save up for ageing young wines that show a tendency to superior development. The national industry should be fostered. The wine industry of California treading out its babyhood will be able to accomplish something and show its advances if every one will be just toward it, and thus all interests harmonized. The suggestion has been made that prominent wine merchants in the United States generally should pay attention to the wines of native growth, and both from the benefit to be derived from the investment, and the pleasure success will give, keep choice wines — Risling, Gutedel or Zinfandel — which show certainty of being keeping and progressive wines, may of 1877 or 1878, for a few years under their own care, until they become ripe for bottling, in order to develop an old high class of American wines. Emulation in this branch might be a powerful means of progress, doubtless a practical way for the experience under what conditions and in what region the most successful nursing of high class mellowed old wines can be accomplished. GAZETTE. NO. 49. Correspondence Savannah Items. The weather is too warm to think of anything except a cool drink of water, and that every few minutes. Last Friday the thermometer stood at 106 degrees for about 5 hours; Saturday, 88 deg., and Sunday, 100 deg. in the shade. Well, after all it is quite a saving on the wood piles, which we will need about Christmas, when it is cold and snowing. On the dry lands around Savannah, to the west and north, a great many wells are almost dry, but it is about time the water should rise again, so people live in hopes. I understand that K. J. Baldwin will sow but little grain on his Santa Anita ranch this coming season as farming don’t pay him. A friend wrote me a few days ago from St. Jo, Missouri, that the times are greatly improving there and throughout the west. I hope the same abower will reach the Pacific Coast soon and last a long time. The people on the Duartz and Azusa ranches are laboring under difficulties about water for domestic and irrigating purposes. Many haul water three and four miles. Several hunting parties have been up the San Gabriel river recently, and returned bringing loads of deer, quail, wild goats, etc. Some fine specimens of silver quartz have been brought in from San Gabriel Mining District recently. There is every reason to believe that the mines in that vicinity will yet pan out good. I omitted to mention in my last communication that Mrs. E. O. Barr, the energetic American Sewing Machine agent, of Anaheim, came up some time since and delivered two sewing machines in this neighborhood. Odessa Wheat. A correspondent of the Rural Press having asked whether Odessa wheat makes first class flour, and if it is true that the grain does not rank higher than No. 3, the editor of that paper reply: Our understanding of the matter is this: Odessa wheat is a dark wheat, therefore would be ranked low by shippers, because they need white wheat to meet the English millers’ need of white wheat. Dark wheat can be had in England from regions nearer then California, but hard white wheat is desirable. The millers must have it to mix with other wheat in grinding. Consequently, this is the style of wheat which it pays to ship from this State, and this is the shipper’s standard of good wheat. On the other hand a wheat like the Odessa, which is rich in gluten, is desired by our California millers, and they are, therefore, disposed to rate it higher than the place it would take in the shippers’ grades. A sale was reported last March of Odessa wheat to a San Francisco miller at $1 72½ per ctl., which was then as much or more than the choiceest white wheat would bring. The question then arises, how much of this style of wheat can be produced to advantage? This can only be learned from the market, which will soon tell whether our millers are getting too much or too little glutenous wheat. If, for example, the growers of Odessa wheat this year, and we understand there are many of them, especially in Los Angeles county, secure good prices for their grain, it will be good evidence that the acreage may be still further extended. Growers of Odessa wheat are invited to report their sales for the public information. It may be well to note that the wheat mentioned above as having been sold for $1 72½ per ctl., was grown in Anaheim. For some reason or other a disposition is manifested to make a bugbear out of the The people on the Duart and Axusa ranches are laboring under difficulties about water for domestic and irrigating purposes.

Barr, the energetic American Sewing Machine agent, of Anaheim, came up some time since and delivered two sewing machines in this neighborhood, which are giving splendid satisfaction. A gentleman returned from Bodie to our neighborhood after locating a mine the coppings of which assayed from $130 to $300 per ton. Our villagers are strawing the roads, I suppose for fear of muddy roads this winter. The vintage at San Gabriel has commenced. By next Monday grape-gathering will commence generally. The grape crop in that vicinity is good. Our district school is so large that Miss Clara Norton is assisting Mr. Soward in teaching, which is a sign that the rising generation is fully represented here in numbers. I am just in receipt of a letter from a brother in Oregon giving a very glowing account of that country. Little Lake Items. How refreshing to one who has traversed the hot dusty alkali plains, or the sand and cactus deserts, is the sight of the rich dark green orange groves, the flower-yards, the green cornfields of this part of the county. In the Los Nietos cornhills, the Los Angeles, Anaheim, Orange and Santa Ana orange groves and flowers. The school in Little Lake District began the first Monday in August, and has had a very large attendance. Prof. S. Bush is principal. Young pepper trees, willow, eucalyptus and some orange trees have been set out around the school house, and enclosed with a post and pole fence to prevent the depredations of stock. Mr. Hawkina's reservoir, which burst the other Sunday, is rebuilding. Mr. H., is also irrigating and setting out strawberries, plowing and growing a succession of fine vegetables &c. Fruit everywhere around here seems to be abundant and of excellent flavor. Apples from Mr. Iabell's orchard are very large and handsome, of several varieties and exceedingly toothsome. The orange orchards are too young to bear yet, but are looking well. The Company well not long since finished, about half a mile from the Fulton wells, is 450 feet deep, and is filling an old reservoir; the water being nearly deep enough now to swim stock in one side. The water is sulphur too, and the pond where last year was a dry dusty plain, is very gladdening to the eye. The following is the programme for every Friday afternoon at Little Lake school: first half hour, advanced geography class, followed by speeches and exercises by small scholars. Singing by the school. Declamations and recitations by the larger pupils. Spelling match. We had a most enjoyable and refreshing visit from that estimable gentleman and able educator, Mr. McFadden, lately of the Santa Ana school; and a very pleasant one from Miss Williamsa, of Centralia, whose clear sweet soprano rang out most musically in song in one of our pleasant gatherings. Since 'tis all the fashion, the other day can be produced to market which will soon tell whether our millers are getting too much or too little glutenous wheat. If, for example, the growers of Odessa wheat this year, and we understand there are many of them, especially in Los Angeles county, secure good prices for their grain, it will be good evidence that the acreage may be still further extended. Growers of Odessa wheat are invited to report their sales for the public information. It may be well to note that the wheat mentioned above as having been sold for $172½ per ct., was grown in Anaheim. For some reason or other a disposition is manifested to make a bugbear out of the fact that Odessa wheat makes a slightly darker flour than the people have been fac-tustomed to using. To show the fallacy of entertaining this prejudice, it is only necessary to state that in many parts of Europe this wheat is grown in preference to other whiter varieties, and that in the States of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, Odessa wheat has supplanted every other variety. We make this statement on the authority of a report of the Department of Agriculture. San Francisco Market. Corrected weekly by Spear, Meade & Co., No. 316 and 318 Washington St. S. P.

HAVANA, September 11.—An association of planters are asking King Allonzo for permission to import from 25,000 to 30,000 China men yearly, whom they consider best adapted to endure the climate and fatigues of Cuban labor, and to bring from Spain and the Canary Islands 10,000 workmen, continuing the importation in this manner until the number shall have reached 40,000 men. These shall be paid their passage and supported for ten days after arrival, during which time it is considered they may find work. The Association calculates the expense of bringing 40,000 men here, yearly, will amount to $28,000,000, which it is proposed shall be raised by general taxation, as immigration would benefit the whole country. The recent treaty between Spain and China prohibits the immigration of Chinese men by contract. According to the Sonoma Index the grape crop of Sonoma county is this year much below the average.
