The Santa Certrudes Rancho. Yesterday afternoon the editor of the Herald accompanied Mr. McLean to the location of the Santa Gertrudes Rancho, to see the improvements that are going on. The day was lovely, and the drive a pleasant one. The late rain had laid the dust and the air was clear. It is propo-eed to run a ditch from the new San Gabriel ovor the highest portion ofthe land owned by the Santa Gjrtrudes Land Association. This will be over five miles long, and will cost about $5,000. All improvements of this kind, tend- ing to extend irrigation and develop the resources of the country, we hail with pleasure, and are most ready to make them public. This tract belongs to the Los Nietos tract, formerly owned by John G. Downey, from whom it was bought by the. present owners. It contains over 12,000, acres over 7,000 of which have already been sold to settlers, and now oil the entire rancho there are more than 600 families, with seven public schools and other public improve- ments. Part of the balance of land unsold cannot bi irrigated, and Edward Mc- Lean, the managing agent of the as- sociation, has been engaged the past month in laying out ihe line of a ditch and flume to bring the water on the mesa, or uplands, and he has succeeded in securing a line by fluming over a mile for bringing water to irrigate some 2,000 acres of the fiuest mesa land in the county, beautifully located and most favorable for oranges, limes, lemons, and all the other fruits so profitable in this county. At the end of the flume, which reaches the mesa lands, a main dried ditch of over four miles is surveyed out and definitely marked by a double furrow. Near the grade stakes, some two miles of side ditches are also marked out, on the upper side aud above the main ditch. Three large lagunas are favorably lo- cated on the highest grounds that can be irrigated, and six extensive main reservoirs are well located, and almost any number of additional reservoirs can be constructed as the cultivation of the lands may require, and an al- most unlimited amount of water can be collected in the numerous reser- voirs that can be constructed as re- quired. Hence by a full and thorough irrigation of the land during the win- ter months, an abun lance can be reservoired for nursery and orchard ir- rigation during the summer. We are confident the construction of this ditch will at once bring those most desirable lands iv demand. The N. Y. Independent Li unusually fearless and outspoken in denuncia- tion of the Cuban atrocity. "This bloodthirsty haste," says the editor, "is of a piece with the cruelty which butchered a dozen students in Havana for the crime of scratching the glass on a monument. The deed is done, no adequate redress is now possible. No doubt there will be explanations from Madrid, and no doubt the Castel- ar governmjnt is kindly and justly disposed; but that will not bring the dead to life, nor can it prove that the Spanish government has any real au- thority Over its subordinates in Cuba. Much as we sympathize with the lib- eral republican government of Spain, we sympathize no less with the effort of Cuba to secure independence; and it may well be that an act which can oaly be excused on the plea of bellig- erency may lead to the recognition by our government of the belligerent rights of the Cuban patriots." A short time ago the particulars of an outrage alleged to have been committed by negroes in Grant Parish, La., Were published in the press, but it was hoped that the statement was a hoax. The details were too revolting for belief, and the whole story was de- nied by the so-called government of the State. We now have the sequel in a few lines from New Orleans. Seven of the nine negroes who were implicated in the outrage have been lulled by citizens. So the irrepressi- ble contest goes on, and so we receive illustratiou after illustration of the a Wantages of such popular govern- ment as federal bayonets have forced on the people of Louisiana. According to official ttatements, the Virginius was 18 miles from the coast of Cuba when the chase began. She headed for Jamaica, distant about 100 miles. The chase lasted eight hours, both steamers going at their full speed, and both being fast vessels. They must therefore have been very near Jamaica when the Virginius was overhauled' but as the captain, all tbe navigators aud crew of that vessel have been killed by the Spaniards, they can put the distance at what they please. Tire Havana Conttancia says that when the news of the capture of the Virginias was received there, "it was thought that something would be tried to prevent the pirates from receiving their just chastisement." A. G. Tabor is anx.ous to sit around thi Comcil Board. C. £. Huber is another. Late Telegrams. nill SIVELY TO THE HERALD. WASHINGTON. Washington, Nov. 26.?Secretary Robeson left last night for Philadel- phia, on business connected with the fitting out of vessels. It Is said at tho navy yard that in- stead of orders being issued for the sus- pension of work, the preparation of vessels is hurried. The first intimation yesterday of a probable change of administration in Spain, with Serrano as Dictator, came through British official sources. To- day a story comes from another quar- ter, that the Castellar Government is to be overthrown by a combination of ruling Spaniards. The plan is said to include the establishment of Serrano as Regent for the young Duke Al- phonso. Our government has no offi- cial advices on the subject, nor does it consider these reports trustworthy. The Secretary of the Interior to-day affirmed the decision of the Commis- sioner of the General Land Office, in the case of Arthur St. Clair and others against the Western Pacific railroad. This decision is to the effect that the Lewis survey of the Los I'ocitas ran- cho, made in 1854, and covering about four square leagues, correctly marked "Outer boundaries of Los Pocitas Grant," within which two square leagues were subsequently confirmed by the U. B. Supreme Court and pat- ented to Mexican grantee. These lands comprise over 30,000 acres, and .about 120 settlers are affected adverse- ly by the decision. A patent was issued to-day for Ran- cho Canada de Sau Vincent y Mesa del Padre Baroua, in San Diego county, containing 13,316 acres. The War Department has issued a general order requiring all disbursing officers, as far as practicable, to keep the bulk of the funds advanced to them in independent treasury offices, and limit deposits in local depository banks to such amounts only as may be necessary for small local payments. NEW YORK. New York, Nov. 25.?A Washing- ton dispatch says the Secretary of the Navy has decided to issue orders to suspend work on the iron-clads, and to detach from large vessels recently or- dered into commission, all ofiicers, to await further orders. The transporta- tion of ordnance stores to Key West will also be stopped. There is no possibility, it is said, of settling the diplomatic controversy be- tween Spain and tbe United States for many months to come, which accounts for the orders. Evacuation Day was celebrated in a quiet way by the veterans of 1812, by a dinner at the armory of the Seventh Regiment. Tweed remains in the Tombs, but is complaining of the dampness and stench of the cell in which he was first placed. He has been removed to a cell on the second tier, in what is called the new prison. He only re- ceives his relatives and counsel. Yes- terday, over $1,000,000 worth of his property was transferred. It con- sisted entirely of real estate in New York. The Times says Henry Clewes & Co. have made arrangements with most of their creditors and will soon resume business. Judge Barrett has refused to appoint R. C. Bourne and B. C. Wetmore trus- tees for the benefit of bond holders of first mortgage on the central branch of the Union Pacific Railroad, on the ground of their connection by blood and business with the officers of the company. Albany, Nov. 25.?Official examin- ation shows that the State Treasury defalcation, through Cashier Phelps, will be $331,772, $200,000 of which was stolen iv August last, and the re- mainder in September. The irregulari- ties in the olhce are not of a nature to warrant the removal of the Treasurer. MISCELLANEOUS. Fortress Monroe, Nov. 25.?The United States steamer Ossipee, and the Monitor Mohopoc sailed this forenoon for Key West. FOREIGN NEWS. Havana, Nov. 24.?ihe prospect of war with the United States seems to be accepted here. The Captain-Gen- eral and his military chiefs are having frequent consultations. Active preparations for defending Havana are being made. Guns arc being mounted on all the forts around the city. Who are to man them no- body knows, as they have no compe- tent artillery men. The Spaniards talk warlike, and say they will fight to the last before they surrender the Virginius or crew. The Conservative journals daily ex- cite a warlike feeling, and the Repub- licans occasionally concur lest they shall be thought unpatriotic. ..Montreal, Nov. 25.?1t is estima- ted that 80,000 French Canadians have returned from the United States during the past three weeks, owing to a large Btoppage of manufacturers. By an arrangement of eastern rail- roads of Massachusetts, the Portland & Ogdensburg, and Montreal, Chain- b!y & Dorel railroads, a through trunk railway has been assured between the west and Atlantic. Why is not unimproved property taxed as improved? Ifthis is not done a premium is paid for not improving {iroperty. Let the assessor think of his. PACIFIC COAST TELEGRAMS. SAN FRANCISCO. San Francisco, Nov. 25. Two seamen of tho ship Arrow from New York, have fired complaints against the second officer for cruelty. The boiler exploded to-night in Han- croft & Co's book establishment, on Market street. No one was hurt by the explosion.

Salt Lake City, l tali Territory, \ .November 2", 1573. J Dear Mr. W :?l've gotten pretty high up in the world (4,300 ft.; but not so high as to forget the friends that I left in the little city near the sea, and the promise I made of writing. I'm quite in love with this eyrie. No city has so superb a mounting, the Wasatch encompass it with a royal rim, seen on this glorious Indian Sum- mer day, one instinctively recalls the Indian legend, which runs something like this. When the lofty and barren mountains were first lifted into the sky, aud from their elevation looked down on the lesser heights covered with the vine, and the olive, and the fruitful trees, and the valleys verdaut and flowery, they sent up a murmur of complaint to Brahma, "Why thus barren? Why these scarred and naked hillsides exposed to tbe eye of men?" And Brahma answered, "The very light shall clothe you, and the shadow of the passing cloud shall be a royal mantle. More verdure would be less light, ye shall share in the azure of heaven, ye belong half to us." And so were the mountains dowered. No eloquence of words can describe the beauty of this valley viewed from the Bench. The City is scattered over an area of ten miles, regularly laid out but sparsely built. The streets, eight rods wide cross at right angles, and are bordered with trees whose roots are kept lively by the "Sects" (the Mormon word for zanja) which run through the length and breadth of the City. We have plenty of breathing room, for the blocks, seven to the mile, were laid out in acre and quarter lots, so that every household could have orchard and "truck patch" before its door. The plan has been some- what modified by the growth of the city, but enough of it remains to give the piace "the air of a green count rie towue" though. We are quite civiliz- ed with street cars, gas, theatre, lec- ture hall, etc. The Theatre is quite a handsome building, capable of accom- modating a large audience in the par- quette, dress circle, and three tiers of gallery. The stock company is ex- cellent, several old California names, Crosbie, Cogswell, Kate Deniii, etc. May Howaru has been "starring" for the last week. I'm no dramatic critic, but seems to me that she lacks the real histrionic power. ln the number and variety of churches, there is no lack. To begin with the .Mormons, there are tweniy- oue Ward .Meeting Houses, exclusive of the iabeiliacie, which alone seats i2,oU<i, in which tiie new revelations ot "Celestial Marriage, Baptism tor the dead, polygamy, 1 etc,, are preached to the »am in. liieii come iv tue Various religious oodies, from the o.ucst down to uic newest, 'there is no occasion lor a man to err lor the want of in- struction. He can hear preaching not only in his own tongue, out iv his own beuel ?which is uu iiupiovemetit ou the peutccostal dispensation. Kemem- ber we believe in latter-day revela- tions, in these mountains, but I must eomess that the utteiaucesot the 'tab- ernacle sometimes savor more of earth than of heaven, perhaps it is because I'm a (jieulile. 1 believe I'm becoming naturalized to everything about me except Poiyga- my. it does not seem quite natural ior a man lo hold as wives a mother anU her two daughters, or three sisters, or two uieces, etc. The size of the families is quite interesting, imagine H your fancy is capable of such a Right, seventy-two chilmen belonging to one mau. They tola me a story of another man, who had a contract on the rail- roud, and had forty of his own family employed in the work. There is an example of home manufacture?or home industry. These people live as comfortably as in any new country; they are chiefly engaged in agriculture, cultivating trum Aye to fiftyacres and upwards. As in California, the laud is rich aud productive where it can be irrigated, water is the disideratum in the devel- opment of the Territory. The climate, thus far has been delightful, one fall of snow, which carried me back to the old Kentucky Home. Your l'rienu, Jdsephine Cole. Don Joaquin de Costa, a gentleman of Bogota, New Grenada, is reported to have found on one of his estates a monumental stone, erected by a small colony of Phoenicians, from Sidonia, In the year IX or X. of the reign of Hiram, cotemporary of Solomon, about ten centuries before the Christian era. The block has an inscription of eight lines, written in fine characters, but without separation of words or punc- tuation. AN ADDRESS To the Citizens of Los Angeles County. The Loh Angeles Chamber of Com- merce was incorporated in August of this year, and has therefore been In operation about three months. It numbers among its members some of our most influential and respectable citizens. Its object is tiie advance- ment of all the material interests of the county. An organization of this kind has "long been wanted, for with our Incomparable soil and climate, and resources almost without number, we have lacked that energetic and en- terprising unity of action that is es- sential for tho development of those resources; and although the county has steadily prospered and Increased in wealth and population, still the proportion of such prosperity is in- significant to What it would have been had ths advantages we possess been known abroad. To every thinking person in this county these facts must be apparent without entering into fur- ther details, but as an illustration of how little interest has been mani- fested in anything concerning the county being known outside of it, it need only be stated that for years San Diego has been receiving the credit in the San Francisco papers of all the freight and passengers belonging to Los Angeles, and yet this was not cor- rected until the Chamber of Com- merce took hold of the matter; and now, through its action, our ports are properly credited. This is merely re- lerred to as a proof of what can be done if the proper steps are taken, and what it is believed can be accom- plished by this Chamber if it has the means to carry out its aims and objects. this county needs a large accession of population and capital for the de- velopment of its resources, and the most eltectual manner of acquiring both is by the dissemination ot infor- mation concerning the advantages it possesses over every other section of the Union. Tiie Chamber of Com- merce are now regularly mailing one hundred copies of one of our weekly papers to many of the principal hotels, libraries and reading rooms in the country, and the number will be largely increased. It is also proposed to publish v pamphlet embodying in a concise form a descnpt.on of tiie county, its resources, ciimate, capa- bilities, etc., and to cause tiie same to be extensively circulated throughout all the States of the Union. This pamphlet will be issued by the Cham- ber of Commerce, and the facts it will contain will be obtained from the most reliable sources. It is believed that this will have the efleet of attracting a vast amount of attention, and will bring to us that addition to our popu- lation and capitul that is so much needed; all of this will involve great labor and expense. Rooms will have to be obtained and furnished, and the constant services of efficient persons will be required to answer the corres- pondence that will naturally follow the circulation of these papers and pam- phlets. Having no interests to subserve but the public good, and the prosperity of Los Angeles county, and every part of it, it hopes to be able through our rep- resentatives to secure such National aud State legislation as may promote this object. It is impossible in the space of this address to enter into com- plete details of what is expected to be accomplished by this Chamber, but sufficient has been said to awaken an interest in its success, in the mind of every citizen of the county. In order to carry out the above plans it is necessary to have funds; the regu- lar income of the Chamber is insuffi- cient for this purpose and the Board of Directors take this method of appeal- ing for aid to all who may have it in their power to contribute toward the attainment ofresults so desirable. At the last regular meeting of the Chamber the following gentlemen were appointed a Committee to receive such subscriptions, and which can be made at their respective places of business, viz: P. Beaudry; John G. Downey, Farmers & Merchants Bank; H. D. Barrows, of H. D. Barrows & Co.; M.J. Newmark, of H. Newmark & Co.; L W. Lord, late of Dotter & Lord. It is earnestly hoped that a prompt response will be made to this appeal, ami that every citizen of the county will contribute what may be in his power, for surely a more laudable ob- ject could not well be presented for their consideration and suppport.

Los Angeles, Nov. 2oth, 1873. The New Governor ok Wiscon- sin.?ihe Chicago Times of Novem- ber 7th says: William R. Taylor, the Governor elect of Wisconsin, is a man of about 55 years of age. He is a native of New England, but has resided for over twenty-live years in Dane county, Wisconsin. During all that time lie has cuiivuted a large farm iv tbe town of Cottage Grove, about six miles from Madison. Pursuing this occupation with unremitting industry auU with the thrifty habits that vindicate his nativity, lie has prospered in a high degree, aud is the possessor of an in- dependent fortune. He has served iv both brunches of the Legislature, in oue of the active trusteesof the insane hospital, aud is President of tbe State Agricultural Society, ln all of these positions he has shown great capacity ior public uflairs, and has att'ordeu abundant assurance that his adminis- tration will be characterized by rigid economy and absolute integrity. Tay- lor was a Democrat of the olu schooi, and duriug the war did not escape the appellation of "copperhead." But he became a Granger very soou after the inception of that movement, is master of a local Grange, aud was oue of the ilrs t to advise the abandonment of the Democratic cadaver, aud the organiza- tion of a party on a new and reformed basis. In person he is a man of large and rather unwieldy frame, with a complexion bronzed by a long series of harvest suns, with hands that earned the callous long before the farmers' movement made plow- handles fashionable. Doubtless he will be something less than a hand- some flgure-head forthe Badger State, but he is quite certain to be very much more than a flgure-head. The Danbury News says: "The Fitchburg (Massachusetts) Sentinel, au excellent paper, is going to start a daily. We are glad of it. We started a daily once. We ran it nearly four months, and then paused. Since then we take a lively interest in such enter- prises. We have no doubt the Sentinel people will make the daily work, and we are quite positive it will make them work. A man who goes through life without having started a daily paper misses a rare and valuable experience. Falling down stairs with a cook stove will hardly compensate him.

The Santa Certrudes Rancho.Yesterday afternoon the editor of the
Herald accompanied Mr. McLean to
the location of the Santa GertrudesRancho, to see the improvements thatare going on. The day was lovely, andthe drive a pleasant one. The late rainhad laid the dust and the air was clear.
It is propo-eed to run a ditch fromthe new San Gabriel ovor the highestportion ofthe land owned by the SantaGjrtrudes Land Association. This willbe over five miles long, and will cost
about $5,000.All improvements of this kind, tend-
ing to extend irrigation and developthe resources of the country, we hailwith pleasure, and are most ready tomake them public.
This tract belongs to the Los Nietostract, formerly owned by John G.Downey, from whom itwas bought bythe. present owners. It contains over12,000, acres over 7,000 of which havealready been sold to settlers, and nowoil the entire rancho there are morethan 600 families, with seven publicschools and other public improve-ments.
Part of the balance of land unsoldcannot bi irrigated, and Edward Mc-Lean, the managing agent of the as-sociation, has been engaged the pastmonth in laying out ihe line of a ditchand flume to bring the water on themesa, or uplands, and he has succeededin securing a line by fluming over amile for bringing water to irrigatesome 2,000 acres of the fiuest mesaland in the county, beautifully locatedand most favorable for oranges, limes,lemons, and all the other fruits soprofitable in this county. At the endof the flume, which reaches the mesalands, a main dried ditch of over fourmiles is surveyed out and definitelymarked by a double furrow. Near thegrade stakes, some two miles of sideditches are also marked out, on theupper side aud above the main ditch.Three large lagunas are favorably lo-cated on the highest grounds that canbe irrigated, and six extensive mainreservoirs are well located, and almostany number of additional reservoirscan be constructed as the cultivationof the lands may require, and an al-most unlimited amount of water canbe collected in the numerous reser-voirs that can be constructed as re-quired. Hence by a full and thoroughirrigation of the land during the win-ter months, an abun lance can bereservoired for nursery and orchard ir-rigation during the summer.
We are confident the constructionof this ditch will at once bring thosemost desirable lands iv demand.
The N. Y. Independent Li unusuallyfearless and outspoken in denuncia-tion of the Cuban atrocity. "Thisbloodthirsty haste," says the editor,"is of a piece with the cruelty whichbutchered a dozen students in Havanafor the crime of scratching the glasson a monument. The deed is done,no adequate redress is now possible.No doubt there will be explanationsfrom Madrid, and no doubt the Castel-ar governmjnt is kindly and justlydisposed; but that will not bring thedead to life, nor can it prove that theSpanish government has any real au-thority Over its subordinates in Cuba.Much as we sympathize with the lib-eral republican government of Spain,we sympathize no less with the effortof Cuba to secure independence; andit may well be that an act which canoaly be excused on the plea of bellig-erency may lead to the recognition byour government of the belligerentrights of the Cuban patriots."
A short time ago the particularsof an outrage alleged to have beencommitted by negroes in Grant Parish,La., Were published in the press, butit was hoped that the statement wasa hoax. The details were too revoltingfor belief, and the whole story was de-nied by the so-called government ofthe State. We now have the sequelin a few lines from New Orleans.Seven of the nine negroes who wereimplicated in the outrage have beenlulled by citizens. So the irrepressi-ble contest goes on, and so we receiveillustratiou after illustration of thea Wantages of such popular govern-ment as federal bayonets have forcedon the people of Louisiana.
According to official ttatements,the Virginius was 18 miles from thecoast of Cuba when the chase began.She headed for Jamaica, distant about100 miles. The chase lasted eighthours, both steamers going at their fullspeed, and both being fast vessels.They must therefore have been verynear Jamaica when the Virginius wasoverhauled' but as the captain, all tbenavigators aud crew of that vessel havebeen killed by the Spaniards, they canput the distance at what they please.
Tire Havana Conttancia says thatwhen the news of the capture of theVirginias was received there, "itwasthought that something would be triedto prevent the pirates from receivingtheir just chastisement."

There is no possibility, it is said, ofsettling the diplomatic controversy be-tween Spain and tbe United States formany months tocome, which accountsfor the orders.
Evacuation Day was celebrated ina quiet way by the veterans of1812, by a dinner at the armory of theSeventh Regiment.

LETTER FROM SALT LAKE.Salt Lake City, l tali Territory, \
.November 2", 1573. JDear Mr. W :?l've gotten pretty
high up in the world (4,300 ft.; but notso high as to forget the friends that Ileft in the little city near the sea, andthe promise I made of writing.
I'm quite in love with this eyrie.No city has so superb a mounting, theWasatch encompass it with a royalrim, seen on this glorious Indian Sum-mer day, one instinctively recalls theIndian legend, which runs somethinglike this. When the lofty and barrenmountains were first lifted into thesky, aud from their elevation lookeddown on the lesser heights coveredwith the vine, and the olive, and thefruitful trees, and the valleys verdautand flowery, they sent up a murmurof complaint to Brahma, "Why thusbarren? Why these scarred and nakedhillsides exposed to tbe eye of men?"And Brahma answered, "The verylight shall clothe you, and the shadowof the passing cloud shall be a royalmantle. More verdure would be lesslight, ye shall share in the azure ofheaven, ye belong half to us." Andso were the mountains dowered.
No eloquence of words can describethe beauty of this valley viewed fromthe Bench. The City is scattered overan area of ten miles, regularly laid outbut sparsely built. The streets, eightrods wide cross at right angles, andare bordered with trees whose rootsare kept lively by the "Sects" (theMormon word for zanja) which runthrough the length and breadth of theCity. We have plenty of breathingroom, for the blocks, seven to themile, were laid out in acre and quarterlots, so that every household couldhave orchard and "truck patch" beforeits door. The plan has been some-what modified by the growth of thecity, but enough of it remains to givethe piace "the air of a green count rietowue" though. We are quite civiliz-ed with street cars, gas, theatre, lec-ture hall, etc. The Theatre is quite ahandsome building, capable of accom-modating a large audience in the par-quette, dress circle, and three tiers ofgallery. The stock company is ex-cellent, several old California names,Crosbie, Cogswell, Kate Deniii, etc.May Howaru has been "starring" forthe last week. I'm no dramatic critic,but seems to me that she lacks thereal histrionic power.
ln the number and variety ofchurches, there is no lack. To beginwith the .Mormons, there are tweniy-oue Ward .Meeting Houses, exclusiveof the iabeiliacie, which alone seatsi2,oU<i, in which tiienew revelations ot"Celestial Marriage, Baptism tor thedead, polygamy, 1 etc,, are preached tothe »am in. liieiicome iv tue Variousreligious oodies, from the o.ucst downto uic newest, 'there is no occasionlor a man to err lor the want of in-struction. He can hear preaching notonly in his own tongue, out iv his ownbeuel ?which is uu iiupiovemetit outhe peutccostal dispensation. Kemem-ber we believe in latter-day revela-tions, in these mountains, but I musteomess that the utteiaucesot the 'tab-ernacle sometimes savor more of earththan of heaven, perhaps it is becauseI'm a (jieulile.
1 believe I'm becoming naturalizedto everything about me except Poiyga-my. it does not seem quite naturalior a man lo hold as wives a motheranU her two daughters, or three sisters,or two uieces, etc. The size of thefamilies is quite interesting, imagineH your fancy is capable ofsuch a Right,seventy-two chilmen belonging to onemau. They tola me a story of anotherman, who had a contract on the rail-roud, and had forty of his own familyemployed in the work. There is anexample of home manufacture?orhome industry.
These people live as comfortably asin any new country; they are chieflyengaged in agriculture, cultivatingtrum Aye to fiftyacres and upwards.As in California, the laud is rich audproductive where it can be irrigated,water is the disideratum in the devel-opment of the Territory. The climate,thus far has been delightful, one fallofsnow, which carried me back to theold Kentucky Home.
Your l'rienu, Jdsephine Cole.

AN ADDRESSTo the Citizens of Los Angeles County.
The Loh Angeles Chamber of Com-merce was incorporated in August ofthis year, and has therefore been Inoperation about three months. Itnumbers among its members some ofour most influential and respectablecitizens. Its object is tiie advance-ment of all the material interests ofthe county. An organization of thiskind has "long been wanted, for withour Incomparable soil and climate,and resources almost without number,we have lacked that energetic and en-terprising unity of action that is es-sential for tho development of thoseresources; and although the countyhas steadily prospered and Increasedin wealth and population, still theproportion of such prosperity is in-significant to What it would have beenhad ths advantages we possess beenknown abroad. To every thinkingperson in this county these facts mustbe apparent without entering into fur-ther details, but as an illustration ofhow little interest has been mani-fested in anything concerning thecounty being known outside of it, itneed only be stated that for years SanDiego has been receiving the credit inthe San Francisco papers of all thefreight and passengers belonging toLos Angeles, and yet this was not cor-rected until the Chamber of Com-merce took hold of the matter; andnow, through its action, our ports areproperly credited. This is merely re-lerred to as a proof of what can bedone if the proper steps are taken,and what it is believed can be accom-plished by this Chamber if it has themeans to carry out its aims andobjects.
this county needs a large accessionof population and capital for the de-velopment of its resources, and themost eltectual manner of acquiringboth is by the dissemination ot infor-mation concerning the advantages itpossesses over every other section ofthe Union. Tiie Chamber of Com-merce are now regularly mailing onehundred copies of one of our weeklypapers to many of the principal hotels,libraries and reading rooms in thecountry, and the number will belargely increased. It is also proposedto publish v pamphlet embodying inaconcise form a descnpt.on of tiiecounty, its resources, ciimate, capa-bilities, etc., and to cause tiie same tobe extensively circulated throughoutall the States of the Union. Thispamphlet will be issued by the Cham-ber of Commerce, and the facts it willcontain will be obtained from the mostreliable sources. It is believed thatthis willhave the efleet of attractinga vast amount of attention, and willbring to us that addition to our popu-lation and capitul that is so muchneeded; all of this will involve greatlabor and expense. Rooms will haveto be obtained and furnished, and theconstant services of efficient personswill be required to answer the corres-pondence that will naturally follow thecirculation of these papers and pam-phlets.
Having no interests to subserve butthe public good, and the prosperity ofLos Angeles county, and every part ofit, it hopes to be able through our rep-resentatives to secure such Nationalaud State legislation as may promotethis object. It is impossible in thespace of this address to enter into com-plete details of what is expected to beaccomplished by this Chamber, butsufficient has been said to awaken aninterest in its success, in the mind ofevery citizen of the county.
In order to carry out the above plansit is necessary to have funds; the regu-lar income of the Chamber is insuffi-cient for this purpose and the Board ofDirectors take this method of appeal-ing for aid to all who may have it intheir power to contribute toward theattainment ofresults so desirable.
At the last regular meeting of theChamber the following gentlemenwere appointed a Committee to receivesuch subscriptions, and which can bemade at their respective places ofbusiness, viz: P. Beaudry; John G.Downey, Farmers & Merchants Bank;H. D. Barrows, of H. D. Barrows &Co.; M.J. Newmark, of H. Newmark& Co.; L W. Lord, late of Dotter &Lord.
It is earnestly hoped that a promptresponse willbe made to this appeal,ami that every citizen of the countywill contribute what may be in hispower, for surely a more laudable ob-ject could not well be presented fortheir consideration and suppport.M.

The New Governor ok Wiscon-sin.?ihe Chicago Times of Novem-ber 7th says:
William R. Taylor, the Governorelect of Wisconsin, is a man of about55 years of age. He is a native of NewEngland, but has resided for overtwenty-live years in Dane county,Wisconsin. During all that time liehas cuiivuted a large farm iv tbe townof Cottage Grove, about six miles fromMadison. Pursuing this occupationwith unremitting industry auU withthe thrifty habits that vindicate hisnativity, lie has prospered in a highdegree, aud is the possessor of an in-dependent fortune. He has served ivboth brunches of the Legislature, inoue of the active trusteesof the insanehospital, aud is President of tbe StateAgricultural Society, ln all of thesepositions he has shown great capacityior public uflairs, and has att'ordeuabundant assurance that his adminis-tration will be characterized by rigideconomy and absolute integrity. Tay-lor was a Democrat of the olu schooi,and duriug the war did not escape theappellation of "copperhead." But hebecame a Granger very soou after theinception of that movement, is masterof a local Grange, aud was oue of theilrst to advise the abandonment of theDemocratic cadaver, aud the organiza-tion of a party on a new and reformedbasis. In person he is a man of largeand rather unwieldy frame, with acomplexion bronzed by a long seriesof harvest suns, with hands thatearned the callous long before thefarmers' movement made plow-handles fashionable. Doubtless hewillbe something less than a hand-some flgure-head forthe Badger State,but he is quite certain to be very muchmore than a flgure-head.
The Danbury News says: "TheFitchburg (Massachusetts) Sentinel,au excellent paper, is going to start adaily. We are glad of it. We starteda daily once. We ran it nearly fourmonths, and then paused. Since thenwe take a lively interest in such enter-prises. We have no doubt the Sentinelpeople will make the daily work, andwe are quite positive itwillmake themwork. Aman who goes through lifewithout having started a daily papermisses a rare and valuable experience.Falling down stairs with a cook stovewillhardly compensate him.
