Tehama County, 1 December 10 th, 1819. i Friend Sam: Doubtless rm many fiiends in Curtemille, are beoonam r anxious to receive a letter from f >rnia, and as I am not a “gentleihnt of elegant leisure,” and haven’t t; I time to write to each separately, I beg i leave to address them through you: paper. AY ell, we have arrived at the end o! our long, and apparently, never-ending journey, and are beginning to feel ven much at home, in the Htate of tiur adoption. After leaving Carters vide, nothing of any note occured; we bad quite a pleasant and quick trip to Omaha, via Nashville, Louisville and St. L >uis, where we rested one night, and half the next day; it is quite a bustling, active place. We tlnm took the Union Pacific R. It., and then our “travels” really commenced. AA’e tr ,v. evel 1110 miles without changing cars and enjoyed it finely. \Ye were very comfortable, as the ears were nicely furnished, and our “campagnion* du vrn/age,” were all pleasant, and, of course, during such n long journey, each endeavored to contribute as much as possible to the others pleasure, and many of them we weie really sorry to bid adieu. The road was supplied with the best “Pullman’s Silver Palace Sleeping cars, also eat ing cars, and to while away the dull hours, the “Whist-Tables” were called into requisition. Some of the scenery was magnifi cent, but a detail description of it would be monotonous, and has proba ably been described by better writers. A great portion of the country thro’ which we passed, was alkali desert, but which interested us very much, as as it was such a novelty. \Ye saw several herds of Antelopes, which were very graceful, and swift, also, many Indians, but they seemed harmless, and a very degraded tribe—the ‘Sioux,’ I think. The only place of any note between Omaha and Promontory, was ‘Sherman.’ The summit of the Rocky mountain rose 600 feet above the level of the sea. It has been described by some writers, as being a charming spot, but we thought it the most desolate lo iking place w r e passed at all. It can boast about 25 bouses, principally mud shanties, perhaps 150 inhabitants and not a vestage of vegetation to be seen. The next noted place was the “great Salt Lake” —the road passes through the northern end of it, about 30 miles from the “Great Salt Lake City,” from where Brigham Young is building a railroad to connect with the ‘Union Pacific” at the Northern end of the lake. There are several Mor mon villages on the road; it is a beau tiful and fertile country, and deserves to be populated by a better people.— Eighty miles West of Salt Lake, we arrived at Promontory, where, after enjoying a splendid supper of antelope steak, we took the Central Pacific Railroad, en route for San Francisco, the distance being 980 miles, about one hundred of which was through a desert country, when we commenced TBe us clip Olefin TNuyLiilit muiiii" tain, in a gentle shower of rain, and it seemed like magic, so rapid was the change from AViuter into Spring; but a few hours before, we were traveling through the bleak eSt> and most barren desert, when, scarcely perceiving it, we reached the summit of the moun tain, where plenty of timber, and all vegetation was looking as fresh and green as April. AVe were then in Cal ifornia. We descended the mountain very rapidly into the Sacramento val ley, as beautiful and lovely a country as your eyes ever beheld. A\ T e reach ed Sacramento City, about 11 o’clock, a. m., made a short stop, and was whirled rapidly on through Sacramen to valley, and arrived at San Fran cisco, 7 o’clock, p. m. —eight and a days from Cartersville. So much for the trip; now, for the country. California is really a live country; San Francisco is one of the most beau tiful and flourishing cities in the U. with a population of 160,000, of all nations, grades and colors. We stop ped at an excellent hotel, the Ameri can Exchange, where we enjoyed eve ry delicacy in the way of vegetables and fruits, but I will not attempt to i describe them; suffice it to say ! they were all they have been rep resented to be. lam not only pleased, but delighted with the country. I find it alt that in my brightest dreams I imagined it to be. lam living bet ter and cheaper than I ever did in my life. After leaving San Francisco, we made a flying visit to Sacramento, from thence up the Sacramento Val ley, and fiually settled in Tehama County, 15 miles north of Red Bluff, the head of navigation on the Sacra mento river. The Sacramento Valley At this point, is about thirty miles widi. The scenery here is grand- From my d.>or, I e.m see Ainu it Shas a, v the distance, covered with snow, anuMiie oldest hih.ilx iitt-s sty iu.ii summer or winter, they have * never seen it dives el of its icy pale; ihe leight is 14,4U0 feet.

I am live g on a place that I have the privilege of buying at the end of one year after taking possse&uon. — The land is better than any that can be found in Etowah bottoms, and the price is $5 pi r acre. The place con tains 500 acres of land, with comforta ble houses and good barn, also a tine orchard and vineyard. Though, I would add, there are few such places in the market, but plenty of goo 1 land that can be bought cheap—some, at Government price, $1.25 per acre.— I’his is pi in ipally a Stock raising country, tho igh there is a great deal of farming, InR h of which, pay well. — Any man etiu make money, and live well here, wuo will work, but this is no place for a drone; the people gen erally, ai’e ori the Pioneer style —plain j and practical, and most of them as “sharp as bi ars,” though liberal and j high-toned ia their dealing. There is , employment here fur the ladies as well as the gentlemen; it is not uncommon j on a farm, to.mako from S7OO to SIOOO raising turkeys. They are raised without any* expense, whatever, as they require; no feed, only a little care ! while yonng.l There is a kind of mul len with seed in it, that grows on the fairies, which they are v e rly fond of, and which is very healthy for poultry of all kinds, and vjhich is inexhaustable. I have bouglitTlO for my wife, and she says she wcfi’t be satisfied with less than one thousand dollars from them this year. They sell for SI,OO per head on the farm. The fact is, California is the counti ij , and I should be delighV ed to welcome many of my old friends here. Then!) are fine openings for bus iness of evei'y kind. Give my kindest regards to Col.

The balloon traveled about forty or forty five miles, and readied an elevation of a mile and a half. The trip compares favorably with any yet made by Pro | lessor King, and was a decided success.

The subject is one of vital inteicst to the citizens of C irtersvilie, from the nature and ar rangtuu. nt <>l their buildings, and ihe present total deficiency of adequate means for extinguishing or staying the progress ol ;he, should such a calami ty, to which, particularly during tho winter season, tin y are every moment liable, occur in nay locality in the bu siness portion of the town. Consider for a moment a case which may at any time occur. The majority of the buildings tire of woo !, dry and s asoned, and nearly every brick build ing is covered by a skinglo roof, aqual ly combustible. A roof or some other j portion ol <_ ne of the wooden buildings takes tire by sp ,rks from a chimney, I and before discovered, the structure is j in a blaze. What can be done to pre-! vent its spread to adjoining buildings j by a handioi of men with buckets, ail ! the water to supply which must be i drawn by tho gallon from the wells, is the merest triile in comparison with the needs of the care, the fire sweeps on, and m an hour’s time a block, or more is a heaj) of ashes and smoking ruins. With an adequate supply ol water, liberally applied, the fire might have been stilled at its birth, or at most not survived beyond the destruction of its first prey. How is this end to be attained ? First, by means of a go and fire engine, and properly distributed cisterns for holding water for its supply. The ques tion immediately arises, “How ututh wiil that cost ?" It may be here stilted, that the steam fire engine is now the only stGe used, having displaced near ly ail the hand engines formerly em ployed, from the rapidity and efficien cy of its woik. The cost may be esti mated as follows: One Stfcum Fire Engine, with Hose &c., eomj >fi te, S7OOO 00 Six Cisterns, complete, at SIOOO 00 each, 6000 00 SI3UUO UU How then are ihese cisterns to be sup plied wall \\a u'} For ibis we must depend upon tue ruin water collected from the roofs, and t ..lwuitted by pipes to the cmcui.-, at an additional cost depending on tne locality and oili er circuiustuncea. Tlie amount would also be swelled by the purch ise of ground on which to place the cisterns, tee i lectio a of an engine house, &c., which would in all probability carry the tatal cost to SIB,OOO 00- And yet, l after all ‘his expenditure, in the event 1 of a long continued drouth, such as experienced during the past year, the i supply of water may be exhausted; the | engine thereby rendered useless, and property substantially as unprotected I as before. But the resources of Cartersville are i by no me ms i xh.tusted with the faii -Ime of tlie foregoing plan. The water | from the “Ponder Spuing,” a never fail ing fountain of pure freestone water, j can be brought through iron pipes to i a reservoir m the most elevated part | of the town, with a line of pipes thro’ i the town, with hydrants, plugs, and | hose, ready to combat lire, ami supply the citizens in their houses with pure, fresh water f >r domestic purposes, at a cost ci rtaiulv not exceeding, and piob ably f..liing short of that of the tire en gine and cistern plan. The water can be brought in wooden pipes, with the same arrangements and fixtures, at a j greatly reduced cost, below that of the | iron pips s. No other town in Georgia possesses such advantages. Th protection from i fire which it affords greatly reduces the rates of insurance, and encourages the building up of all portions of the tmvn. The pure, fresh water afforded for drinking purposes would make it a pace of resort during the summer : months, and bring in numbers of new citizens from all sections, adding pop ulation and capital to tlie community. With this supply of water, the necessi ty for a lire engine, with the expense jof keeping it up, is removed for all i time to come, the pressure of the head I of water serving instead of the engine. In view of all these facts, and the benefit accruing to every member of the community, it can but be reckoned the pleasure, as well as the duty, of all citizens who have tlie security and can tin ued prosperity of their town at heart, to cousidi r them carefully, and having thoroughly weighed them, und being fully convinced of the advantages to themselves and those to come after them, act according to those convic tions. An enthusiastic old lady, living near Detroit, whose husband had but a few days previous been attended to his last resting place by the Masonic fraternity, was very much elated with the funeral obsequies; narrating the particulars of the occasion to a neighb >r, she wound up by saying, ‘Oh. you ought to have been there— we had a splendid time.'

The evergreen holiday h almost here. “Christmas is only two weeks I off,” shouts every urchin to every other urchin, and forthwith there is a clap ping of hands, a shuffling of feet, and a general capering about. We love to see this, for Christmas is emphatically the children’s day. And well it may be, for the august personage whom the day celebrates was a babe in the manger among the stalled oxen and lowing cattle. ‘Keep Christmas’ then in every household, and let every Sun day School ‘keep Christmas.’ Let the beautiful Christmas tree lift i l s branch es lacliant with gifts of love, and let car ols and concerts, amusements, and rare fun and frolic mark the hour. But don’t let the poor be forgotten. If they are not remembered the day loses its significance. Mary and Jo seph were pool —their destitution was so great that they could provide no better place to lay their darling boy than a manger, from which the oxen fed. Jesus was poor, houseless and homeless. Dont ‘keep Christmas, then only at the house of the prosper ous and at the Sunday Schools, where well dressed children go. * Le; Christmas come to the homes of the honest poor, the Mission School, the Orphan Asylum, the Poor House. Let Christmas come to all. Let there be one day, one banquet in the year, where children of the rich und poor can meet and receive the blessing of the Most High, standing upon a com mon level. We know of no more ap propriate and beautiful custom than the singing of Christmas carols around the Christmas trees, by bands of inno cent and deiighed children. H uk ! the merry bells are ringing— Calling all the wo. Id to prayers; Hark ! the Angel choirs are singing Glad and joyous Christmas lays. Tis the day that Christ was given Sinful, erring man to save, And to-day enthroned in Heaven He will grant each boon we crave. Hark ! tlie Christmas bells are ringing Through the cities of the earth; And ten thousand voices singing Welcome to Thy day of birth. Come, hang o’er head the mistletoes; Bedeck tlie walls, and bring The gnarled and knotty Yule log forth, And greet old Christmas, King. | We love him with his frosty pate, His rou.id and jolly form; j For lie bears summer to our hearts ’Mid winters cold and storm. Yes, we will hang our walls with green, And pile our goodly fare And press about the jovial board The feast and fun to bhare; We’ll rip it o’er the jolly Hour And wake the jocund song, For Christmas comes but once a year, And does not tarry long. Joyfully, joyfull f Carol, Christmas bells, Merrily, merrily Carol, Christmas bells, Christ, our Lord, was born to-day, Let us all be glad and say We will love him and obey Joyfully, etc. Joyfully, Joyfully Carol, Christmas bells, Merrily, merrily Carol, Christmas bells.

For we all remembery here Christ, our lord, and Saviour dear, Now, and always while we sing, Joyfully, etc. Come round, old friends, and let us raise, Glad songs of festive mirth, Let carol notes of joy and prii ;e, Be echoed round our hearth. And this shall be the chorus strain, While Christmas chimes are heard, May household baarts be bound again, In kindly look and word. Peace and good will on earth to all, Thus swells the anthem strain, Such angel breathing should not fall On Jiutnau hearts in vain. Oh! may their coming fruit be told Tn deods of mercy here, To kindle warmth where hearts are cold And di-y the fallen tear. May love light up our hearths to-night, May no sud hearts be found, With sinless mirth and laughter light, Come, dear ones, gather round. A hand of fellowship to each, In friendship warm and true, Let kindly thought and gentle speech, All household ties renew. Pe,y.nmr UL th, i'J.

Many of these medicines have had their day, and we hear no more of them.
