(published In San Frnnciaeo.) ofFebrtinr 1st, an interes ting account is given of the ci'y of Sun Fran- g account is given CISCO. In June, 1847, it contained four hundred and hity nine souls, in the previous year thirty houses were built, and laborers recei ved from two Io three dollars per day. In July and August lol lowing thirty-eight hou ses were erected. In March, 1S43. the popu lation had iocreased to eight hand red and twelve, (wltiles.) being an increase of one hundred per cent in eight months. In apnl, 1848. the people were rold struck, and the whole popniution rushed to the mines. The effect ef these re mors about the wealth ol the mine, are described, but these are familiar themes. Sickness having bro ken out in the mines they were nearly deser ted in August and September, and the peo ple crowded to San Francisco, and business began to revive. In November, when the fruits of the snifter's labor began to be leap ed, 8aa Francisco began to lengthen her strides to preeperity aoJ greatness Other Mranuir&s are riairoea lor me town. It is soldi to - possess the salest, largest, and meet acceesibie harbor on the whole coast. The situation of the town is picturesque, and only four miles from tbe sea. The bay of San Francisco is navigable Ibr mediate sited vessels, as are also the Sacramento and San Joaqolm. The climate is healty. The pop ofatton has increased since March last to aboet two thousand souls. Real estate has risen in value from one hundredVto one tliou eund percent. The export of ynld dust since May last is supposed lo exceed two millions. The importation of coin for the purchase of fold dust in 1818 amounted probnbly lo one aaill ion of dollars. The import of merehaji diee for the name period were equal iq value to one million of dollars. The duties collec ted in 1848 amounted to $196,074 66. The number of buildings erected in the year 1848 were more than filly. Passengers arriving by sea one thousand. From 4W Saiiftal InUIHg Frtn oir N. Y.' Correspoidf nt.

Under this speclou title the wortJ is too often gulled with vain, chimerical, end eeVn wicked projects. One of the reforms of the day proposed by social adventurers or vision ary theorists is a proposition to obliterate oil titles lo landed property, and to substitute what its advocates have never taken care to explain. A new political party is, in fact, growing up in the North, called the u Nation al ne(urm Association," which holds' these agrarian tenets, and whose iaof prominent leaders are the famous Gerrit Smith and thV Rev. C. C. Foote The imaicdmte object of this organization seejma, not a embrace the pert mp lory asrogioa oi ownerenip us jnng, but what is terrMdJUie'ree'iom of tb$ fnWn; lands to all settlers, the rualfatfod of the amount of land thai" may be ewned by any individual, and the securing of a permanent and inalienable homestead to families. These points eattbiished, the general scramble of society for all the lead will subsequently follow. We have chanced to receive a' stray num ber of a paper culled the 3 Young America." which styles itself the "organ of mc National Reform Asaocalion." Tbe reader could not fail to be amused with the e xtnrvatrnnces In culcated in this sheet were ft not th.it a fbfa- ful reflection w suggested by the fact that the numbers of wrorfghaaded people tho Ibllow its false lights arc great enough to givy support to a paper.
