During the whole of the afternoon Of yesterday and

until early hour this morning. 1t seemed If the
flood gates of a delugs had been opened. The da-

Of the damage at the nail factory. The damage
In Winsew's Works also very severe and several
persons narrowly saved their lives. The dam just
above Winsow's Works gave way and nearly Its
whole structure built in the most substantial manner
has been completely broken down by the flood.
In the vicinity Of the dam the north side nearly
everything was swept away bordering on the stream
The loss in Winslow Cornngs lower factory will be
very considerable. young lad, aged 10 or IL years

the principle Orion indifference by the action Of
the people themselves. California, with her
free constitution, would have been received
into the Union ds a State long ago, and the
usual territorial government would havs been
established for the residue Of the country,
The whole COdntry would have remained free,
as it is nov; By the existing laws Of the land,
BY the will Of the people who inhaBit it, and
BY the laws Of nature, climate andtproduction.
The adjustment would have been effected qul-

would have been given to any portion Of the
Union. We Would have had nohs of This irri-
tating agitation, experienced none Of this pain
