The effect of such a long season without rain, while wheat, barley, and and grass are growing, is likely to prove very disastrous to Their prospects are glo6my in the extreme. The accounts we hear from Yolo and Solano, are in the highest degree discouraging. A friend from Putah Creek thinks that rain now would not enable farmers to aaako than a r.ron. Barley sowed early as well as the volunteer mpnr redemption. The liot weather a few days since, caused it to head rapidly, and everything now beaded is put down as worthless.

From the later sowed grain, half a crop, it is thought, may be realized, should rain fall within the sncceeding two weeks. Wheat not being quite so much advanced, is not so seriously injured, though it 'will make comparatively nothing, unless more ivii, iZr I5y, excepi on low land, may be considered a failure. Cache Creek crops, from what we hear, are" fully as much injured as upon Putah. We speak of these two sections, because they are noted for the production of grain.

It advocates the establishment of branch societies in all the nnfi tnwuH of the State, to be auxiliary to the society in San Francisco, and urges the election of encrggtic men to the Directory; the appointment of suitable ogeuts to canvass each town or city, and authorizing them to obtain from every citizen the sum of one dollar and upwards, for the purpose of aiding the committee iu New York to publish tracts and pamphlets and to scatter them over the United States and Europe.

Land holders are called upon to be liberal iu their donations of land to permanent settlers, and to sell on reasonable terms, and in quantities to suit purchasers.

The present altitude of the spring is several feet above the main portion of the town, and as the fountain head is supposed to be in the mountains, it is but reasonable to suppose that the water con be raised in the reservoir, much beyond its present altitude. Mr. Henley appears quite confident that he will be able to get a sufficient head of water, to force a stream over any of the buildings on Main street.

From the reservoir, the water will be conducted along all of the principal street, through, a wrought iron pipe 2 inches in diameter. Branch pipes of smaller size will be laid from the main pipe to the premises of all who dot-ire the water. Fire plugs will also be placed at proper distances) and a supply or water kept constantly in reserve, to be used in extinguishing fires.

At the time the Sena-tor left San Pedro on her last trip, reports had reached Los Angeles about collisions between the parties who recently left this State ostensibly for the Gadsden Purchase, and the Sonorions.

The Government is bound in honor, and by the laws of nations, as well as every principle of humanity, to protect these Indians.

From intelligence which has been received from the counties of Merced and Tuolumne, it is thought, that unless rain visits the country soon, the principal crops will fail altogether, with the exception of those in the valleys and on the bottoms of rivers. The miuinfr prospects ore in tho same condition.

Many farmers have been careless in not having put their crops in earlier. The country presents more tho Appearance of a parched desert than that of an agricultural district. On the Merced, near Snelliug's, and along the Mariposa creek, the fairest prospects of an abundant harvest are observedthe lands being low and the grain early sown. -A very large portion of the finest agricultural land in Merced county is under cultivation for the raising of produce, which looks thrifty and in good condition. "There are large droves of stock feeding npon excellent pasturage near the Merced river.

Some six hundred acres of grain are 60wn npon the Indian Reservation, which looks in very fine condition, having been sown early and favored by the advantage of an excellent soil.
