It is the third of a series of three consecutive years during which agriculture has risen to the front rank in our industries, whilst mining has in the same time receded to comparative insignificance. In these three years, but more especially in the last one, a marked change has come over our people. The nomadic habits, encouraged by mining life, have given place to more settled ideas and steadier pursuits. Population has become fixed and permanent in most of the towns, as well as on the farms. Attention is turned almost universally in the rural districts to the improvements and adornment of homes and the comforts of enlightened life. In a less marked degree this change has affected the mountain population, where, since the failure of placer mining, labor has not yet detected its best and most profitable new channels, or at least has not had its energies turned into them with satisfacto! ry success. Our wheat production during the year places California third among the best producing States of the Union in quantity and first in quality. Our surplus, after deducting 5,000,000 bushels for home consumption and feed will probably net the producers $12,000,000. But it is not this staple alone that agricultural industry has been encouraging. In other cereals, and in grapes, wine, wool, the products of the dairy, garden and orchard, of root culture, in the construction and business of saw and flouring mills, and other manufactures, as of wool, silk, furniture, glasswares, brooms, malt liquors, candles, iron lead, brass, soap, sugar, leather, type, etc., we have made satisfactory progress; and also encouraging experiments in the breeding of silkworms, the growth of mulberry trees to feed them, and, in at least one establishment, for the manufacture of silk. In several counties which had never before produced anything from the soil for export, this year are shown millions of bushels of surplus wheat and barley, and a consequent addition to the valuable real estate of the country amounting to many millions of dollars. The increase in population has not kept pace with the augmentation of our wealth. But the completion of the Pacific Railway and inevitable competition in the steamer carrying trade will doubtless soon ! encourage a greater influx of immigrants. The year has been comparatively exempt from wild speculations. Industry and business have gradually turned into regular and steady channels. In all the commercial and agricultural towns there has been great advances in the value of real estate, and also in the domain of the farmer. In the chief commercial city, which was disarmed for defense against that or any other contagious disease from a want of suitable sanitary laws and local power to act, the small pox has raged as an epidemic for the last four months of the year; but the end of the year found it declining, and another month will probably serve to exhaust its virulence. Aside from this, the health of the State at large has, with few exceptions, been as good as usual. Our progress in education and moral tone has been encouraging. Crime has decreased, whilst population and wealth have been increasing, a circumstance doubtless resulting from the favorable change of industry from nomadic to settled and rural habits. In t! he succeeding columns will be found a record of the most noteworthy events of the year: JANUARY 1st - Bark H.S.

The crops have been good, and, though visited in December by one of the most remarkable and destructive storms in her annuls, the net products of the year will prove satisfactory and tend to increase her accumulated wealth. The most striking incident in our history as a State is the substantial completion of the Pacific Railroad to our eastern border. The track of that road reached the summit of the Sierra Nevada on November 30th and solved the question whether steam communication between the Atlantic and the Pacific is possible. The mountains have been reconciled with the plain, and the soft lip of the sea has made to kiss the rough brow of the Sierra. Henceforth it is certain that the iron horse will ply across the continent to and fro like a shuttle, weaving across the subtle ties of sympathy, which are stronger than iron, softer than silk and more lasting that the granite hills. The establishment of this result reflects honor upon the individual energy to which it is due, while it assures to this State and to the whole Pacific coast a prosperous and speedy development which, without it, would have been doubtful. The political canvass of the year was exciting and the result unexpected to al! l parties. The Government of the State has almost completely fallen into the hands of a party from which it was sacredly guarded during the war; but even that catastrophe may be found to be a blessing in disguise, if it teaches devotion to principles rather than to men.
