San Jose, Ca., c. h. Santa Clara co.  50 miles from San Francisco, is situated in one of the most pleasant and healthy valleys in California.  It is well watered, and for 20 miles N. and S. there is a perfect carriage road, with barely a mould of earth to lift a wheel.  Its advantages for gardens, fruits, and grains are of the highest order.  The quicksilver mines are about 20 miles S. of this city.

Sacramento City, Ca., c. h. Sacramento co. This town, the second in California, is situated on the E. bank of the Sacramento River, at the junction of the American Fork, on the S. bank of that stream. The Sacramento, which is a fine river, varying from 200 to 300 yards in breadth, its banks fringed with trees, is navigable to this point at all seasons. The distance from San Francisco is about 120 miles. The plan of Sacramento is very simple.
