One of the most important subjects to the inhabitants of the State is that of irrigation. The dryness of the at mosphereand total lack of rain for at least eight months during each year, render it necessary to moisten the soil for agricultural purposes by artificial means. In this regard California is not an exceptional State, for the in habitants of Colorado and Texas, situ ated on the eastern slope ofthe con tinent, find it necessary to resort to the same means. Many portions of the old world have been irrigated for thousands of years; and frequently in those sections where moisture is se cured by artificial means, the highest civilization among men, and the larg est product from the soil, have been secured. Indeed, the belief is fast ob taining that the systems of irriga tion would be highly beneficial in regions where rains are common dur ing the entire year, for the reason that drouths would then be guarded against, and crops could be furnished with water at suitable times without taking chances with the precarious water-fall from flic clouds. In our State the utilizing of the water should be connected with an other object besides the important matter of irrigation. The general In cline of the earth's surface from the mountains to the ocean suggests the practicability of using the water-flow not only for agricultural purposes, but for the turning of thousands of suita bly constructed waterwheels, which could be connected with machinery of an almost infinite variety—woolen mills for cleansing and weaving our home wool product could be introduc ed along these canals, as well as flour ing mills and of all kinds. If the committee selected by the re .cent Irrigation Convention, at Los Angeles, will successfully urge upon the attention of the forth-coming Leg islature the utilizlngof the coast water flow for manufacturing purposes, they will accomplish a lasting blessing to the State, both for the present and fu ture generations.—[Real Estate Re porter. The Post of this evening is the larg est dally paper ever issued in Califor nia, und, with the exception of some issues of the New York Herald, is, we think, the largest dally paper ever issued in the United States. It con tains one column on each page more than the double-sheet Chronicle, and is both larger, and contains more mat ter than the double-sheet issues of the Union and Record. Those who re membered the first issue of the little Post (price one cent), which was about the size of a lady's pocket handker chief, will appreciate how sucessful our enterprise of publishing a vigorous, honewt and indepedent journal in San Franciso has been.—[Evening Post.
