They will convey to our friends in the eld States, two weeks’ later news from thie land of Id. PThe most important part of the news is the great fyeshet in the interior, caused by the late rains, the ous of Property; and the incidents connected with it. ‘The loss perty, however, is not so great as it was on a former occasion last year. Sacramento was overflown in consequence of a crevasse in the Jevee, and so was Marysville. Inthe former compa- atively little damage was done, because the inhabit- ants were, to a certain extent, prepared for an in- wmdation, and as the waters rose, and gained on them, they removed their property to more elevated positions. They, therefore, suffered more inconve- mience than aciual loss. Marysville, on the other hand, suffered a great deal. The damage is eati- mated at $150,000. But the greatest loss was gestained by the farmers on the low lands, sae the owners of bridges leading to the mines. We have not heard any estimate of the destruction on "those heads, but it must be very large. The drought being at an end, and the gulches and ravines in the interior being filled with water, the miners are busily engage washing the earth whieh they dug, and from which they could not ex- tract the gold for want of rain. The mines are soarcely accessible in consequence of the bad con- dition of the roads, and the destruction of the bridges leading to them. By the little intelligence that we have received from them since the flood, we learn that the miners are in the best spirits, and are well pleased with the returns which their la- bors are meeting with. It is confidently expected by intolligent persons who have given attention to the subject, that the yield of gold this season will exceed that of any former year. A greater namber pereons have been at work, and a greater quan- tity of earth has been dug, than was ever known boiore.

In many instances the occupants are to Jame for their carelessness in not securing their doors and windows. There are two bills of great importanee before the Legislature, which in all probability will become laws. One provides for submitting to the people at the next election whether or not a convention shall be held foramending theconstitution of this State. Bt is opposed by the free soilers, on the ground that the real object of the movement is to make a division of the State, so that slavery may be introduced into the southern part of it. It was passed by the House on the 2d inst., and is now before the Senate. The other bill to which we refer is one to en tracts made beyond the State, for the perfoi Inbor within the limits thereof. Ifthis bill should pags, eontracts will be immediately made with laborers ia China, and a fresh impetus will be given to the de- yelopment of our mineral resources, and to the improvement of our city. ‘The present high price of labor, of every kind, retards the growth of our sity: he W.

SACRAMENTO OVERFLOWED. Tremendous Fxcitement—Another Inpnda- tlon—Loss of Life and Property—The Leveé Swept Away. : [From the San Francisco Herald, March 15 } Sacramento, Sunday, March 7th, 1852.—This mornikg, between the hours of one and two, we were startled by the deep tones of the city alarm bell. The ri for the last twenty-four hours, had been rising rap’ ntertainod last night that the city gain be inundated. There fears were not unfounded. The Mayor of the sity gave notice that if the levee gave way during the night, the alarm bell would announce the fact, and summon the citizens to aid in repairing the damage. At two different places the levee failed to Phe water swept against it with irresistible violence, earrying it along in its mad career, and spreading over the low lands that immediately surround the city. Kt five o'clock this morning the public crier went through the city, summoning all able bodied citi- zens to repair to the scene of disaster. The city bridge on Third street was swept away a few moments after the water rushed into the Slough. A man was seen on the bridge at the time it was wept away, and it is probable was drowned. Several small houses built on piles near the Slough were carried away, and it is rumored thut one of them overturned. Two persons were init at the time, and it is supposed they met a watery grave. About a mile above the ferry, the levee, for a dis- tance of two hundred yards, hasbeen swept away. Some of the merchants are moving their goods. Between Eleventh and Twelfth stree the water is three feet de At an early hour this morning boats were in readiness, and engaged im takiag fu- milies from houses already inundated. Up to the present hour (10 o’clock A.M.) the vain continues to fall with unabated fury. The Mayor has issued a ing appeal to the citizens, calling on them to rally to the rescue. Enclosed I send you the Mayor's appeal, and an Extra from the Tunes and Transcript. Considerable water has accumulated in the vi- cinity of the Capitol. It is rumored that Lisle’s Bridge, erected at a cost of $40,000, has been entirely swept away. It is presumed from the present high stage of wa- ter, the whole Valley of the Sacramento is over- flowed. Vast amourté of property, it is feared, have been swept away by the tlood. ‘All communication with the mines is entirely cut eff for the present. The mail stage started for Co- Joma yesterday, but finding the roads i ble, was compelled to return. The driver informed me that the bridge at the crossing on Weber creek, ix miles below Coloma, had been swept away. Coloma was partially overflowed on Friday morn- ing last, and the river rising at the rate of six inches an hour. A rumor is rife in this city that part of Marysville has been swept away. Enclosed I send you Gov. Boggs’ Land bill, as it passed the House yesterday afternoon. You will perceive that two important amondments were added to the bill. On the second reading of the bill, State serip rose in this city three por cent, aud since ite final pas- “— ten per cent he Senate was enge ed yosterday aftarnoon in discussing Mr. Frye’s bill for suppressing gambling. Messrs. Broderiek aud Van Buren opposed it bit- ter! Two boats leave this place for your ci vend this by the first. Franything imp occur, I will forward by the next boat. Mayor Hardenburgh, Messrs. Froaner, Nevett, Culver, and Marshal White, were untiring in their exertions, and deserve the thanks of our citizens for their unceasing efforts to repair tho damage done the levee : “A y to-day. I tant should t Sunpay, half-past 10, A. M. The rain has somewhat abated, bui the river is will rising tie (Fram the Democratic State Journal. Extra The heavy rains which have been fallin ‘ie the last week past, have told with stunning effect upon eur city. Two daye since the water in the Sacra- mento and American rivers commenced gradually rising, but up to yesterday morning the rise was not saficiently rapid to give any alarm to our citizens, ora foreshadowing of the terrible disaster which mow threatens us. Since yesterday morning, how- ever, the waters have been accumulating with terri- ble rapidity, and in the American river there was rise between 9 o'clock, A. M., and 3 P. M., of over twelve feet. On yesterday evening, for the first time, feelings of anxiety were felt for the safety of tbe city, and the efBcacy of the levee for ite protee- lly wnderaived. Steps were w . were ely against the farther ind of the waters thero. At that time, ywever, the immense waters which have been pour- ing into the Sacramento from its mountain tributa- ries had not reached us in full force. Toward night, however, the swell in this river was very rapid and bee ag = and the combined wrath of the two rivers, rolling by us with still increasing floods, gave wide room for well founded fears. This state of suspense and watching continued until about one o’clock, when the worst apprehen- sions of our citizens were realized. The solemn and startling tones of the fire-bell fell upon the ears of the city with dismal effect. The first breach in the levee was i above the sluice gate, near I street, and when discovered, the water was rushing through a space about the size of abarrel. Large quantities of hay were immediately procured, and every effort made to stop it, but invain. Very soon a large portion of the levee, just above, was washed away, and a bouse carried off, in which were sleep- ing four men; one of them is known to be Rohwnel: The breach at the sluice gate was uced, doubt— Jess, on account ofthe water inthe Slough being much lower than in the river. The pressure without bein unresisted, it proved too great for the sandy cart! of which the embankment is composed. Soon after these breaches were made, the entire sluice gate gare yey and a mighty torrent rushed into the Blongh. ‘he this time there wore some twenty persons stand- i the Third street bridge, over the Slough, when, in the rush of waters, it was swept away. How many escaped, it is impossible to say; a num- ber of these were unquestionably drowned. Amid the war of waters, a signal of distress was given by some one firing a pistol, but no one had the means at hand of rescuing him. At this stage, the waters were found to be pouring into the city, at the head of Second street. Immediately all hands were con- centrated there ; and although an immense stream of water had been pouring into the eity for some time, yet we learn, at Present, writing, that it has been arrested there. Considerable water has accu- mulated in the low ground, between Seaond and Front streets. At Seventh street, also, a stream has found its way into the city, and a large force is now concentrated there. Hopes are still entertained, that by guarding with sufficient force tho Slough, the city, as was the case in the spring of 1850, may still be saved. But, from present appearances, this is but the beginning of the end. The rain is still pouring down, without any_indi- cations as yet of a eessation, and the waters of both rivers still on the rise. While we cannot but hope for the best, we have great cause for the worst ap- prehensions. It becomes our citizens to turn out and lend their efforts to save the city. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on many of our citizens, ‘or their exertions to stay the flood. Mayor Har- denburgh, by his almost superhuman efforts, has proved himself the ever watchful and faithful guar- dian of the city’s welfare. Also to Me . Nevett, Culve: aner, and Marshal White, the thanks of the city gre due for their untiring activity and per- severance. We might name numerous others alike entitled to credit. At the falling of the bridge on Third street, Mar- shal White, H. A- Smith, and several others.of our citizens, narrowly escaped with their lives. Lisle’s bridge, we learn, has been entirely swept away. Loss about $40,000. From the present stage of the waters the entire Sacramento valley, above and below, must be over- flowed, and the loss of stock and destruction of crops and other property will be immense. * The crevasse atthe Slough has been partially stopped The water is still rising at the rate of six inche: hour. Our citizensare diligently at work, and great hopes are entertained thar our city may yet be saved from a complete inundation. P.8.—By Gregory’s Express, we learn that we are not alone in this terrible visitation. On yester- day the entire plaza at Marysville was under water, and the Yuba still on the rize. {From the Transcript Extra 1 To rue I E OF SACRAMENTO.—We are direct- ed by the Mayor tourge all zens to repair at once to the Slough, at the upper end of town.

Again we say, the cily oan be saved from the impending danger: Monpa The weather, which on Sund: beautifully, has had a most benef effect in check- the further rise of the waters. A cold south-east wind sprung up early this moming, and has been increasing steadily ever since, until it has become a gale. The waters, which rose rapidly until day- ht, have begun to abate, and have already fallen four inches in the city. The Sacramento and Ameri- can rivers are also receding, and if the present cold weather and wind continue, the city w ih againsoon become navigable for pedestria At present the entire town, with the eption of a merged. Between the hours of 4 P. M. yesterday, and 3 A. M. to-da he waters rose with unwonted rapidily, aud at daylight scarcely a foot of ground was visible within the precincts of the city. K street has suffered the most severely—the water standing at least two feet deep throughout its en- tire length. The wooden pavement between Front and Seeond answ sa floating bridge, the water running under instead of over it. If all our tho- roughfares were improved in like manner, the ne- cessity of boats would be less apparent. J street is completely inundated from the levee to the fort, al- though the water is not deep, and scarcely comes up to the floors of the stores and dwellings in the low- est blocks. Property holders in thisstrect have suf- fered little loss. Second street, fromI to K, is the dryest of any part of the town. The stores on the levee, below J street, have escaped with little damage. The east and south-east portions of the city, particularly all the land lying south of K and east of Second street, are under water to the depth of from two to four feet. The brick yards, and va- luable patches of land from which the city derives its vegetables, are almost if not completely rained. Innmense quantities of drift wood are floating all about town, but every stick of timber is in tow of a scowboat, orin the hands of some amphibious fellow --of which class of bipeds the city is now crowded. ‘From numerous inquiries we have made, we think the principal losses, so fur, have been sustained by occupants ef dwellings, and owners of out-door pro- perty in the suburbs ef the town. The merchants and others in the city owning valuable stocks of goods, had “taken time by the forelock,” and re- moved them to safer localities, The carpets and household furniture on the lower floors of mavy of the little cottakes scattered throughout the town, and in its vicinity, have been seriously damaged by | water, but these losses are general and exccedingly trifling, when compared with the destruction of pro- rey during the deluge of 1850. The question naturally arises with many, how this flood compares, in severity, with that of 1850. As regards the loss of property, there ix no comparison, owing principally to the fact that the citizens were this year forewarned, and consequently enabled to insure themeelves in a great degree against the en croachments of the subtle fluid The levee, too, al- though not sufficiently strong to rosist the rushing tide of waters, is a great protection to many parts of the town. The Sacramento river has risen above its maturai bank, but the top of the artificial em- bankment is still three feet higher than that stream. ‘The water has not entered the stores of many flooded in 1850, and from all that we can learn, it is not within two feet of igs, as high as on the 8th of January of that year. If we are se fortunate as to be spared warm raihs or hot sun, we can safely rest assured that the worst is over, and that the damage, after all, will not prove really as serious as was an- ticipated a few days ginee. 1 O’CLock, P. M.—The weather continucs lovely, and the wind is rapidly assuaging the waters in the city, although it blows against the current of the river. Business, of course, is entirely suspended, but our citizens are laughing over their annoyances, and enjoying a general holiday. Sailing excursions are fashionable, and pleasure boats are gracefully gliding through the Venetian streets of the levee city # O'CLocK.—The levee below the eity has been tapped, so that the water is now about nine inches lower than at eix o’clock this morning. In the Sacramento river the water is about three inches below its highest point. INCIDENTS OF THE SACRAMENTO FLOOD. The scenes that met the eye along the Slough, partook of the ludicrous and serious. Nearly all the point beyond Sutter Lake was flooded, and the inhabitants ‘were being landed ona temporary terra firma at different points along I street. In one seow’s cargo, were mixed in admirable confusion, children, chickens, cooking utensils, bed clothes, fiz provender, petticoats, and a sufficient sprink- pg of the pautalyon order to make up the usyal assortment of « mmall private family, euddenly tura- ed adrift. Looking ovor the the picture was rather = sad one. The pedo) ee half submerged, could not but some degree of misery in eon- nection with their inmates, who had so recently t short notice to quit, from a most unrelent- fe landlord, whose tenants at will, it sooms too likely, the settlers on the Sacramento will long have to be. The painful rumor was current that two females had perished in the waters, while attempting to stem pa ewelling tide, and reach the nearest spot of land. Early in the day, the slongh running along Seventh street became a flowing river, with ferrios at short intervals, and plenty of boys shouting for passengers and proclaiming the fare. Boat building became a very favorite occupation lozens of new seows asthe day ivanecd, were launched before night to do service in the shallow streets, while yawls and gigs stood farther out. Communication seomed suspended most of the day to the high lands back of the city, and boats ventured but two or three times to cross the river. Before the dawn of morning, it looked to the uninitiated as if the day was already lost. The water was gee over the bark of the Slough into Second street, and the few assembled seemed inclined to let matters take their course.— Times. The same yorer states that by the arrival of the Orient, from Colusi, information has been received that the Sacramento had not risen at that pointon Sunday morning. Feather river is also greatly swollen by the rains. The water is up to the door-step of Captain Sutter's house at Hock Farm. This is higher by some fect than the flood of 1850. Niealaus is entirely under water. The greater part of Vernon is submergod. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS, Led the Times and Transcript, Tuesday, March 9.} he second day of the overflow commenced with no very bright progpects. During the night the wa- ters had continued to rise, and in the morning they looked very nearly as expansive as during the previ- ous flood. It soon became evident, however, that the waters were receding, and the citizens went carly to work to make the sidewalks passable, and were able before noon to present a dry foot path from the Orleans to the State House. The lower portion of J street, and nearly all the built up part of I and Second streets, were relieved of their watery incumbrance during the afternoon. On K street, from Second street out, and from Fifth strect out on J, the scows, rafts, and various other floating apologies had full play, and certainly presented a most peculiar and ied appearance. ‘he presence of ladies in some of the boats, gave ad- ditional interest to the scene. No very large individual losses of property are reported in this city. The merchants’ stores have, but in comparativety few instances, been reached by the water, and time was afforded in all casos to protect the perishable contents. The life of a single person is not known te have been lost within the city, from any cause connected with the inundation. “Several deaths have been reported, but there is no positive evidence of such casualities. During Sunday night, sale a number of parties overjoyed themselves a little, and one or two were found floundering in rather deep water, without a very good idea of the bearings of the nearest port. ‘These were rescued safely, and taken care of. The brute creation did not fare so well, and hundreds of pigs and poultry doubtless have perished. Nine horses and mules were drownded in the Slough below M street on Seventh, and a consider- able number of cattle are known to have been lost on the plains. A colored man is reported to have been drowned while swimming a mule near the fort. Lisle’s bridge over the American river stood safe during the severest trial, and we trust will long remain profitable indication of the enterprise of its proprietors. A total suspension of intercourse with the country and the mines precludes all accounts of what has taken place out of the city. The diggings, as wellas the agricultural districts, cannot but have seed through a severe ordeal, and we look with anxiety to the details of the inundation in those quarters. The towns in the mining region are generally situated in deep ravines, and cannot but have been severely visited. On the low lands, below Sacramento especially, the damage to the erops must prove very ex sive, in many cases resulting in their total truction. The fevee at Sutter was tapped yesterday morn- ing, by order of the Hy san tee operation im- mediately relieved the dropsical condition of the corporate precincts of Sacramento. ‘The sluice gate was opened, and a portion of the lev Isc cut away, which caused the water to fall foot or more Last eve in gathering di an hour. , about dusk, clouds which had been ing the afternoon, commenced their » and, wit wind, ming near e vicinity of Sut- : body of eq in our city was allowed to run Into the river.

M.—The hopes which were entertained for the safety of the on yesterday, from entire inundation, have been destroyed, from the commencement of a most terrific storm, at 5 o’clock P. M., on yesterday, which continued with unmitigated fury until 3 o'clock this morning. The force of the waters was such as to tear away and destroy the temporary levee on I etreet,and completely inundate the great- er Nace of the city. The streets of I, J, and K are ontirely inundated up to the public square. All the cross streets from Third up to the Plaza, are under one to three feet water. The Legislature is not in session, it. being impos- sible for members to reach the Capitol. At going to press, the water is slightly receding. The plank covering has been swept from over every cistern in the city, and great caution is neces- sary in crossing the streets on horseback. By an arrival last ight from the Upper Sacra- mento, we learn that the whole country above is completely inundated. We fear the worst by the rising of the Sacramento. THE CITY STILL INUNDATED !—WATER ON THE RISB! SICKNESS ANTICIPATED ! Sacramento, March 10, 1852. ‘The water is still rising in the rivers. It is much higher now, I am informed, than in the wiater of 1849-60. It is somewhat colder this morning. and heavy clouds are banging over the city. It rained at intervals all night. The water is rushing in tor- rents through Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Se- venth streets. It is almost impoasible to stem the current in those streets; and sma! boats are fre- quently swept down. The water in the vicinity of the Capitol is betwoen two and three feet deep. ' Boats ve and depart regularly every half hour. ‘The membors are under the necessity of coming to the Capitol in boats. A reat deal of complaint is expressed on this account. heir pay now is but five doilars a day, in State war- rants, which aro sadly depreciated, and thoir expen- ses in getting to the State House from three to five dollars per day in cash. This is “‘ not the entertain- ment to which they were invited.” A strong effort will be made to-day either to remove to a better lo- cation or to adjourn until the subsiding of the waters. ‘The people of Sacramento are disheartened, and the hope they once entertained of this agora | the permanent seat of government, grows ‘sma. hy degrees and beautifully less” every day. You will percieve by the action of the Legisla- ture that they refused to adjourn. Indefinite post- ponement is in effect killing the resohation. A res deal of apprehension was created yester- day (Tuesday) afternoon, by the encroachments of the current upon the Levee infront of the city. At several points below K street, the bank exhibited symptoms of bet and further down the river, several cracks could be seon extending the whole width of the embankment. Measures were taken at once to check the progress of the evil, by driving timbers and filling up where the earth nd com- menced to wash away. The cracks are observed principally in the proximity of some trees, which were left when the Levee was constructed, and the error of not removing these is ow only apparent, when its reeult may perhape prove disastrous.

THE LATEST. Sacramento, March 13, 1852. The water is still flowing through some of our streets, but the. principal street, from Sixth to the Levee, is now deserted by boats, and drays are again in requisition. The large and beautiful building (the El Dorado) on the corner of Second and Jay streets, has sottled some six inches since the inundation. The walls of several brick buildings are slightly cracked, but the damage is not one-third so serious as was appre- hended. The people of Sacramento city suffor very little in comparison with the farmers of the county. Not only in many instances was all their stock lost, but their crops, it is generally believed, is entirely de; stroyed. The counties of Calavoras and El Dorado each lost an immense amount of pane The bridges alone that were carried off in the latter county, were worth ten times as much ag all the roperty destroyed in this city. The flumes of the Ainerent mining companies, erected at great labor and expense, and rendered perfectly valueless, are a loss seriously felt and not easily repairod. The weather is still unsettled, and at the present time of writing (12 o’clock, M.) a slight drizzling rain has commenced falling. Ifit continues we have every reason to foar another rise.

Astonishing Rise of the Yuba and Feather Rivers—Marysville Partly Inundated. ERAL LIVES LOST—HOUSES AND BRIDGES ¢ SWEPT away! Through the attention of Gregory & Co., who aanyered our exchanges last evening at an early hour, we are enabled to place before our readers this morning a full account of the terrible calamity which has overtaken the flourishing town of Marys- ville, and additional particulars concerning the in- undation of Sacramento City. {From the Marysville Herald Extra. Monday 8.) Tt becomes our painful duty to record a calamity to the city of Marysville, exceeding in magnitude even the destructive fires of last summer. The ca- tastrophe has come upon us so sudden, so unexpect- edly, that the mind is positively bewildered in con- templating its devastating effects, and refuses a full appreciation of the terrible disaster. The lower part of the city, comprising the business portion of the town is, at the present time of writing, from six to fourteen feet under water, according to the ele- vation of the ground, and an area, amounting at least to one-third of the city’s settled limits, is one expanse of water, uniform with the Yuba or one side and the Feather on the other. The rains which had fallen at intervals since Wed- nesday up to Saturday morning were by no means of an extraordinary character, and although when our last issue went to press, at alate hour on Friday night, the rivers were considerably swollen, still no apprehensions were entertained of the consequences which were so soon to follow. The entire scene of ruin now presented by our late pleasant city is the result of some twelve hours work, commencing, at about eight o'clock yesterday morning, with the overflow of the Yuba, and over, so far as the prin- cipal’sufferers are concerned, last evening. ‘Lhe river first commenced its encroachments upon the ci camboat landing, and in a very Hed in that entire seetion of the town, foodizng the Chile flour warehouse of Peter Robertson, which was the first reached and the first to fel At the pour ny t the | ¢ the river, ent, was is below me a point of at- tr to crowds of © i citizen About half yist eight the water, ris with great rapidity, was two feet deep on E stveet, the lower part of the % ulso being covered to a like depth, and every mercha the immediate vieinity of threat- ened di busy securing the various articles outside stores. At this time, also, a num- ber of teams were busily engaged in removing oods from the lower part of the city to high ground; fat so little idea had the people of the extent of the freshet, that some tons of merchandise, taken frem one part of the town, were reached by the flood in another, and destroyed. From nime until two o’elock, numerous draysand wagons did a profitable business in conveying passengers to and from places impossible to reach on foot. A little after 2 o'clock, the water became too deep even for horse navigation, when several whale boats, scows, rafts, wagon bo- dies, ete., which, at an early hour in the ay had made their aj ance, came more generally into vee. ard menos olized the entire ferry business. A number of boats in this manner were busily employ- ed throughout the day and night in transporting passengers, which, at a ferriage of twenty-five eents, caused the owners to realize handsome sums. At five o'clock in the afternoon the high water mark of ’49 was reached, and our eitizens astonished and dismayed at the rapidity which characterized the rise of the waters, became fearful that no spot in Marysville would be free from their visitation. On the streets north and west of the plaza, the lower storiesef every store had now been forsome time ith its rapid eur a abandoned by the occupants, and as but com} eels few goods were removed, the work of destruction had free course. The water still rising, at 8 o’clock in the evening was some five or six feet ever the floor of Farish & Adams’ brick store on the corner ef First and B streets, also entering the adjoining brick buildings of Low Brothers, Charles Lambert, Farish, Duval & Co., and J. A. Ream & Co. Next above Ream & Co., the office of G. W. Plume, and en the corner of High street, the express office of Adams & Co., were slightly inundated, but sustained no damage of moment. It was universally supposed that this row of brick buildings, standing as it did on quite high ground would not be reached, and goods trom other parts of the city were brought to them for safety ; this confidence also indu the proprietors to keep their stocks upon the premises, and with the precaution of elevating the most perishable articles to the height of three or four feet from the floor, left them with every assurance of their preserva- tion. The result, however, proved disastrous. At a lote hour of the night these geods were mostly covered or afloat ; the walls of the stores also giving signs of weakness, the buildings were geaerall: abandoned by their occupants. About one e’cloc the front of team & Co.’s store fell in ; the partition walls of the adjoining houses also giving way, the destruction of this fine property was rendered almost complete. The store of Farish & Adams sus- tained lees damage than the neighboring buildings, but nevertheless is left in a very dilapidated cou- dition. Since writing the foregoing, we have been in- formed that the chief bulk of merchandise, parti- cularly that of a perishable nature, was taken from the brick row in season for its preservation. Below we give the names of parties who have suffered from this visitation. We do not now offer to give a detailed account of the losses; those most interested are unable at this time to state the pro- bableamount of injury they have eustained, and we have no desire to hazard conjectures which may be wide of the truth. The aggregate amount of loss, however, cannot be short oral 000: — Peter Robinson; Pacific Hotel; Antelope Houso; Fashion and Gov.

Several ed out on Friday tnd Saturday we been compelled return. E1onr 0’cLOcK, P.M.—The weather is clear and settled again. The water hae receded fifteen inches from its highest point, and is rapidly going down. Notwithstanding the calamity which ‘efallon the lower portion of the city, our merchants are in ‘ood spirits and hopeful ; and even the severest suf- fevers with whom we have conversed have expressed themeelves in a manner indicative of the true Cali- fornia spirit. It is characteristic of these freshets that the waters subside almost in the time they take to rise, and in two or three days, at the most, we think tho stores now deluged wil be fit once more for business. The water rose to within less than three feet of the second story of the building where we have our office, and for the last thirty-six hours we have left our sanctum by stepping into a boat brought directly under the window. INCIDENTS OF THE FLOOD IN MARYSVILLE. ‘We learn that three men were drowned at Bod- Jey’s ranch, some threo miles from town, on the Yuba. They were one by the rise in the river. One of the men was J. Miler, a partner of Mr. Bod- ley’s. One of our citizens, frightened by the last rise in the river, drove about $30,000 worth of stock over to to the Buttes some three days since. Ho was just in time to save it from the flood. Sart- well’s flour store has been overturned by the flood— among other articles, it contained one ton of coffee. Tho flood at Parks’ Bar has been as great as at this place. The new bridge just completed at that lace has been carried away, and the whole country Hooded. When the river rose, it came up so Fepidly that the inhabitants had only time to save them- selyes. The logs at Parks’ Bar and vicinity is esti- mated at nearly the same as at this place—$150,000. Mr. Lindley’s rancho, gome six miles from Marys- ville, is flooded, and the cattle have been driven off. His house, which stands on the low lands, is unap- proachable save by a boat. The amount of loxs caused by the flood is unknown at present, but is estimated at $150,000. When the water first bogun to come into the stores, the perish- able goods were raised on barrels, &e., and it was supposed it would not reach them. It has done so, however, and, of course, a large amount of the goods in the market are ruined. The brick and adobe buildings fronting on the Plaza, peed by Farish & Adams, Low & Bro- thers, Charles Lambert, Farish & Duval, and J. A. Ream & Co., have fallen down. The rats suffered awfully during the rise on Satur- day. Dogs wero watching on all sides, and killed them as they were driven from their holes—all the water spared. The Indians at Yuba City are feasting upon game “*found drowned.” They pick up rabbits by the dozen on the plains back of the rancheria. Just out of Marysville, Messrs. Covilaud, Bu- chanan, and others, have been putting in large crops of barley, which are flooded now ; and all the bottom lands of the Yuba are in a similar situation. Monpay Evenina, 6 o'clock. The indications of pleasant weather which appear- ed so seasonably at a late hour last evening, in a cloudless firmament and clear atmosphere, were all gone early this morning. Throughout the day the weather has been exoeasively blustering, with occa- sional light showers. The water has gone down at least five feet from its highest mark, and is falling rapidly. Should tnere be no further rains, we shal be entirely free from this condition of things in two days at the most. The water upon the plaza has had quite a heavy swell on allday, from the high wind blowing, and presented as rough an appearance as we have often witnessed in the Bay of San Fran- cisce. We have heard of several houses being swept away from the bottom lands in this vicinity, but of no further cases of drowning than than those before reported. Appearances indicate @ continuance of the storm. 12 0’cL0ck P. M.—Riverfalling, and raining heavi- ly. arcely a spot in this section of country, under cultivation, that isnot so completely washed as to have rendered all the labors of the husbandman, up to this time, totally useless. The high winds of yesterday raised a sea which probably did quite as much mischief as tho water at its highest stage, and the two combined have been ruinously destructive to a great imterest. A very large number of cattle haye also been swept from neighboring ranches. Opposite Amy’s Ranch, on the Yuba river, the body of a man was seen lodged in the branches of a tree. There being no cloning upon the body, it is conjectured that the unfortunate man was in a situation where he had to swim for his life, and reaching the tree in an exhausted condition, there perished from exposure. The riveron Saturday night, at twelve o’clock, had attained its highest elevation, being then threo feet above the water line of 1849. The water on the present occasion did not rise above High street. The California Express, says:—“Comumnication is now open to Long and ‘Park’s Bar, and several wagons arrived here on Monday. Capt. Perkies re- ports he suceeeded in erossing Dry k, the water having come up into his wagon bed several inches. The water is still falling. Iti red that some icinity of Long and lives have been lost in the vic Park’s bars. One body has been washed ashore at the island below Long bar, and two or three in the vicinity of Park’s. The race of the “Big Bar Com- pany” is supposed to have been damaged to a con- siderable extent, and a large portion of the tools of the miners were swept away.’ TE LIST OF SUFFERERS AT MARYSVILLE. We lay before our readers this morning, the fol- lowing list of persons who suffered more or less from the inundation in Marysville. (From the California Express.] It is impossible at present to give a correct esti- mate of the total damages sustained until the water abates, and the Feces are examined- Many think that it exceeds $150,000, and our own opinion is, that the figure is not far from correct. We append below a list of sufferers, with the proba- ble loss affixed, as far as we have been informed: Low & Brothers, $10.000; Peter Robertson, 200; A. Y.

We place before our readers, this morning, the following additional intelligence concerning the late disastrous flood in the interior, which we oxtract from our exchanges, for the early delivery of which we are indebted to Gregory and Adams. _ We are pared to learn that the waters have sub- sided, and that there is no immediate danger of any further destruction of property. From the San Joaquin Republican extra we learn that in Stockton and ay eer the loss does not ex- ceed $25,000. The following is a list of the prin- cipal losers:— ‘ov. Edwards, interest in bridge, Weber avenuo, $1,700; City, interest in bridge, $1,400; City, Main street bridge, $1,600; Mr. Shaw, two houses’ and ‘a large quantity of lumber, $4,000; City. foot bridge. $400; City, dam at per end of slough, $300; City, damage to levee bri engine house, $600; H.’ Morton, $1.200; Lincoln & o., $500; Congdon & Journeao, $200; Converse & Co., $4,000; Dr, Grattan, Mr, Gwinne and others, fencing, ete.; Capt. J.D. Cresey, $1.00. The same paper states that along the hed of the plain between the San Joaquin and the foot hills of the Sierra Nevada there are numerous channels, which hate been formed by the rains of successive winters, and which are dry in summer time. These have been completely filled, and their banks have been overflowod to a greater exten!, we understand, than has ever been known in the memory of man ; while the rivers Moquelumne, Calaveras and Stanis- lous have rison at least 12 feet higher than they rose in the severe winter of 1849 and’50. The country on the Moquelumne is completely flooded, the crops are hidden from the sight, and in many places the houses have been swept away. Every bridge and ferry on the river has been earried down by the re- sistless force of the current. We have yet heard of no loss of human life. The lower bridge on the Ca- laveras has been carried down, but the bridge at Davis & Atherton’s still stands, notwithstanding that the water yesterday was over the railings. From the Stanislaus ‘we also receive reports of similar disasters. Tho Pontoon bridge, at Hoath & Emory’s ferry, and the ferry boats, are gone. Seve- ral horses have been drowned at Islips, and the boats carried away. At Knight’s Ferry, the river rose twelve feet higher than in 1849-60; at Robinson's, also, the boats have been carried off, and it is also feared that at McLean’s Ferry the current has made clean work of it, and carried off houses and boats. This is mere rumor, however, and we hope it is not true. The greatest height of water attained in the Stockton Slough, was at 9 o’clock on Monday morn- ing, and was four inches higher than it was in ’49 or *60. m one ok atl wi atl ‘AREE O’oLock, P. M.—H. J. Raphael, agent of Reynolds, Todd & Co.
