At San Fran- cisco, while we remained there, it was healthy; but it requires the greatest preoaution, to avoid sickness. owing to the dense fog which con- staptly bangs over that place, and the great change from the heat ef midday to the cold, damp air of night, accompanied with strong, cold, westerly winds, which set in about 1 o'clock, After leaving that place, and entering the Sacramento river, which is about 40 miles distant, you enter into a vast level plain, for bundreds of miles in length, and many im width, through which the waters of the Sacramento flow in = serpentine course. intersected with other streams, by numberless sloughs running off in all directions. This vast plain is of alluvial soul, overflowed in the spring and winter; and during the remainder of the yesr contains large tracts of swampy land, with pools of stagnant water, which infect the atmos- phere, the inevitable consequence of which is ague and fever in the worst form. There is very little woodland; In fact, | may say none, except upon the im- mediate banks of the streams, throughout the valley. 4 , of course, is fertile; but for the want of ter during summer, is parched and dry. While wat for drinking is obtained only pure from the rivers, that from wells has strong mineral impregnation, and is con- ducive to sickness, The same is the case at San Fran- cisco; and any one upon arriving there and drinking ot it freely, will soon feel the effects. Throughout this vast valley of rich aud fertile land, it is exceedingly unhealthy throughout the year, with the exceptien of the winter monthr, At this time, the city of Sacra- mento, which is three miles above this place, presents & scene of sickness among its inhabitants unprecedent- ed, excepting during the rage of @ malignant disease, im avy clime or country upon the earth, (the western coast of Africa pot eacepted) | re bee the city several tia 4 visited many hospitals, which are Lot ltke Dorp home, but void of eve- ry comfort and cheerfulness, being mere canvass tents, with bare ground floors, with the dust light and deep and which is raised by every pull ot wind or footstep, cov. ering every thing within with dust, and at times almost taking away the breath.

It is almost impossibie for any man to come here without having a fit of sickness. “The principal cause is the climate The atmosphere is impregnated while, in addition to th the impur. great change from the excessive heat of the day (tl thermometer rising to over 100 degrees) to the cold damp eveniuge, in which fires are not uncomfortable, which are rented by the day. of money are displayed, with their luck; and the fact of seeing many amounts, often induces new comers to try and thus take the first onin view.
