The Sect Of Communists at whose head in this
country stand Mons. CADEr, and who have deter
mined to make Nanvoo their home, brought with
them all kinds Of implements ofhusbandry, mechan-
les tools, suited to all trades, and large stock of
cuttings OF every variety Of grape cultivated in
France. They are said to be healthy, temperate and
industrious, and in their religious belief they
near the Uaitarians, denying the divinity of Christ.
They hold their property in common. They res

The TOUGHEST YEr-MoRE GoLb.
Last evening we were told Of private
letter which had been received in this city
from a gentleman in California. The let
ter states that party Of men, who had
heard of very rich deposit Of gold some
where in the mountains, started in search
of it with long train of mules and wa
gons. The Indians hearing Of the design
of the men, and wishing to prevent their
discovering the mines they were in search
Of, stationed themselves on the top Of q
neighboring mountain, and as the train was
passing the base, rolled down upon it what
they supposed to be number Of huge
rocks, which crushed in their course
number Of wagons and mules. After the
torrent had ceased, the men were about 10
resume their journey, but seeing there
was peculiarly in the appearance Of the
rock, they were induced to examine them
more infinitely, when, to their great sur
prise and joy, they discovered that each
supposed rock was a vast mass of gold
We did not see the letter, and cons equent-
ly cannot vouch for the truth of this state
ment.-TSt Louis Union.

THE HIGH WATER.


Burlington is so situated a. to be free from al
danger in high water. The valley of Hawk-Eye
Creek in the south part of town is the only place
subject to be overlooked. For the last few days the
Foundry of Hendrie and Foote, and the dwelling Of
Mr. Coates have been surrounded by water. These
were the only buildings thus affected, and these
situated in this valley. The two roads leading to
South Burlington must be raised about two feet,
which will secure an uninterrupted and dry pas
sage from and to that part of town, in the highest
water.
Only one Of the three bridges on the opposite side
Of the river has been washed away. The Mayor
with requisite number of hands, tore up the plank
ing to secure them from being carried away, and
in this way we hope they win be saved. The frame
Of the farthest, or Running Slough Bridge,
ried about u miles down stream, but tits thought it
can BE- towed up to lis original place again. The
abutents fthose bridges should have been at least
three feet higher than they are.
These, with few cords Of irewood, being hoated
or are the only disasters that have occurred in this
vicinity in consequence Of the food. In view Of
the devastation the high waters have caused in Ii
nois and the South, we have abundant cause to be
grateful to Him who regulates and directs the chan
nels Of the deep, for our favorable location. The
water began to recede at place Tuesday last,
and up to noon yesterday It had fallen about three
inches.
