Ay the vwy rowcist, calculation, our male population

mere likely to be 150.000. but from 100,000 tho State
would have received ?990,000, hud it not have been
for burglary iu h?r law making power. If adequate
lawn are made to enforce the present rcveuuo bill,
the .State receipt* during the year 1852 cannot

want, if our whole debt <*an be converted into 10
per <m; bond*. $160,000 for interest, and $">0, 003
as a linking t'uiid, leaving $290,000 per annum, to

in its nv-ue of the 29di ult.. us follows: ?
V.'o do not wonder at some of tho counties be
< i r. stive ui der tho valuation placed upon tho
lau.l- v. thin their borders. But t te southern coun
ties certainly ctr.ir.ot complain on this scf.re, as tho
following table, which wo have carefully calculated
fiomthe ofti rial returns, will fully show; though
there i> another ea.t.-e for complaint, for which thoy
I...ve undoubted grounds. Lo Angeles, Monterey,
> H !?> if ' Hi's po, San Dicg >. ::ni Santa Barbara re
turn nearly five millions ( ) Stl.2 i'i) a res of taxa
ble lands, while Butte, El Dorado, Placer, Shasta
and !-< ;.?na acknowle<l.;e to but a trifle over half a
mill oD, 0?20.3i0.) and the five first named counties
value their l< wn lots at $1 073,331, the latter at
$427,123. We can see no r? a-?.n why tho grou.id
out ; which wc dig $5,000 per annum in goKl dust,
should not be taxed exa-dy as high as the land out
oi w hich our lit ighbor dig: $5 OOOwortli of potatoes.
I he cry may be raised, it is a tax on labor; but
we cannot see it in that light further than
all taxation is a tn\ on labor, ns labor
is tho si uive of all prop- rty. Again, it may be said
that iio miner has no title to hi.- property, may not
at a j on it a month, and that ata-c would bo oon
trarv to our dot trine of leaving th" plaoersopon to
all. We grant tho miner has no tiLlo exccpt oeau
panc>. though v.e think the I nited Stat, s should
protect him in that title: bu), tlds has nothing to do
v ith th* value of tho hind Tax the land, and make
the man on it pay. ami he will take oare. when pur
chasing a claim, that tho tax is paid, or a sufli.-iont
allowance made l'or it. But wo wish it distinctly
nodcistood, that we are not in favor of any per
centage being taken l'rom the gold; we merely ask
that the gold region bo miole lo bear its proportion
of the State expense#, which the annexed table
show* it does not do. Possibly as good a plan ns
any that could be adopt. 1 to arrive at thi3 result
would be for the Board of Equalisation to assess the
tax u each county, and allow tlio county authori
ties '"raise it in such manner as best suited thoir
constituents, li ib not lair that the agricultural

Religion In California.

The religious aspects of the country aro improv

unfrequentlv. in the Ipugaage of a daily paper,
"prov. kingly quiet." Sorrow is on tbc heart, of
Fin at this manifest improvement. Not a little
hatred in exhibited to the influence of this (taper on
the proper observance of the Ixird's day, and
i "superstitious twaddle, [twattloll" ig applied to
tie unmi^takeable evidence furnished of a blessing
j or true obedience to (Jod. There id bcarcely a muo
ecsful Sabbath breaking firm composed of Ame
ricans in thi* city, and what is more, never has
been for any length of time. If (Jod's providence
oerset tie mark of lm di?anprobntiou on trans
gression, if has done it in this city. Fires and
failure* mark the eou.seof crime, and the righteous,
suffering, have felt it just. Tho ohurchcs are well
attended. 'I ho missionaries lately arrived aro al
ready in the ticld. eatting in tho seed whieh mart

teachers of ability, devoted (o their profession, aro

i 1 he Sabbath school of tho Methodist Fpiseopal
chorch in Sacramento, under tho pastoral earo of
Rev. R St ration, is perhaps tho largest on tho Pa
cific coast " from pole to pole." It already numbers
ninety-nine scholars ana teachers, besides a largo
Piblc class, and is weekly adding to its strength.
Ore of the Advocates editors promised the school a
week or two si nee, that a children and youth's dc
1 art went should be sustained in tho paper; so you
are fairly in account:* with the juvenilis.
Wary villo enlarges itsbordciustoadily andhealth

attendance of young men was veiy large, aud tho
i'tti nt ion given to an address win close and earnest.
U< v J W. Brie r wan called to the ch.tir, names
taken, a constitution and by-laws read and adopted,
and a vigorous society organized by the appoint

not (hie nt this moment to recall. This society
promises to extend throughout the State, and a?
<'< ni| Iihh great "ood for members and others. The
ob.-tne!es which now opnoto frequent concerted

to a more vettb d condition ot society, of which tho

? o call upon t > authoiiHc-^ to interfere and p**o
vent further continuance of the exhibitions known
r.s " bull f gills" or " In ar baits," in this city and
v.cwity. tor the past si.x months, these disgraceful
and revolting spectacles offered as Sunday sports,
and characterized by every species of low depravity
and brutality, have been permitted to go on, gather
ing in disgusting and sickening detail whenever
presented. We now call upon tho authorities for
their total suppression.
I These exhibitions are a disgrace to our city, to
society, to our laws and to humanity. OtI';rel as
ainuf emcnt;'. they nro a gro.-s deception aud
iiiiii itit.n. sad by the irreverent selection of the
Sabbath day lor their pros ntution, they becomo a
<k sec ration. They are offensive to the tastes of a
majority of our n -jeetabk cili/i ns, and with their
ffauut ug banners and bands of music paraded
through our streets during the hours of religious
i fctrvite, they arc n nuisance, against which, in bj
httif of the commuuity we tool compelled to spe >k.
W hen. many months ago, it was urged by the re
1 freif* that these brutalilicv \y<tu a desecration
to the Subbaih day, and that as Sunday sports, they
should not be tolerated, we r uld se no good r :>on
in oprc ing theui, on account of the moral depravi
ty exhibited in tho appointment of holidays for this
species of nmumnetits, ami recommended that if
* i'jectionrble. on the ground of being prejudicial to
the morals ot the place, they wer ? mainly sis from
the coarse, brutal character which they maiutained.
Placed on that fooling, no would have contended
for their suppression, although thej formed a chief

prominent members of the musieal profession, who I

lifomia, at great ineonveiuonco and expense, on
the uncertainty of getting a room largo enough to I
hold a rc numerating sum. and adapted acoustically, 1
and in other respects, for vocal performances. The
necessity for erecting some kind of building al
ready exists. Madame Biseacoianti, the oclebrated
cantatriee, is now on her way to San Francisco.
She will be the pioneer of great artists, but we doubt
very much whether there is a building in the city so
constructed as to enable us to judgo of her quality.

afterward was a companion of Kossuth during his
confinement in Asia Minor, and who was also loader
uf the refugees who came to America on the steamer
Mississippi. is now here, and on his way to China
and ili interior of that vast empire, in search
of the origin of tho Magyar nation, where it
in not only supposed to bo, but by the recent
accoui.ts of Dr. Gntzlaw, a Swede, and an
other Amcricau missionary, aa well as through
ancient traditions, it is proved almost _ to a
certainty that a vn?t, pcoplo exists, living in tho
interior < f Asia, and speaking the Magyar language.
Will the difficult enterprise Bueceed, or not,
is now the question; and if it does, is it not ot great
interest to ihifi country, situated so jicar to China.
A' any rate, by promoting the facilities of tho Golo

manifcftirg that sympathy which is felt by our

ardent sympathy and oncouragement. Col. ii.

I vapidly rising, and wave after wave rolled in, cadi
I higher than the preceding, until the usual boundary
I ef the highest tide was parsed, and the ovdinariiy

We hit t e no authentic account from any Resident at
i that place; but from what we leain \ eebaily from a
Mi jive, the tide must have risen some twenty or
twenty-five feet abovo its usual bound-'. Vivo hou
ses were swept away, and fences. mil other property
destroyed to a considerable amount. A small ves

continued, and then began to recede.
