Disastrous Flood.

The news from California is interesting.
A most disastrous flood had occurred on
the rivers.
The cities of Sacramento, Nevada, and
Marysville, had been completely over
flowed, and the damage was dreadful
All was CONSERVATION.
The loss at Marysville is estimated at
100000; at Sacramento, the embank-
ment gave way, and Sc, eral houses noated
down the river.
AT Marysville all the stores were SUBJ
merged, and large quantity Of goods de-
stroyed.
At Nevada two quartz mills, the the
atre, the Empire hotel, and several other
houses had foated aw ay.
! No doubt every bridge on South aid
Middle Fork Rivers have shared the same
fate.
The country between Sacramento and
the mines is impossible.
The Legislative halls are surrounded
by water, and the members reach them in
boats.
Nearly all the houses on the Marysville
and Sacramento roads, had foated away.
/ Many Of the finest brick buildings in
Marysville had been rendered untenant
able. ." d.
The damage at Sacramento is estimated
at $40, 600.
The crops, it was thought, would not
be much injured.
Many lives were lost and great quanti-
ties Of live stock persisted. The last ac-
counts represented the food as abating at
all points.
After the sailing of the last steamer,
the markets were steadily improving nn-
| til the occurrence Of the great food which
caused almost an entire suspension Of
trade. A speedy reaction is looked for.

While the "Blakely Family" were Civ
ing Concerts in Jacksonville, Illinois, the
officers Of the State Luna,ic Asylum, a,
that place, invited them to give a concer,
to the inmates--an invitation which was
at once complied with. The Morgan
Journal gives the following account Of
it: ss a
The patients were collected with few
exceptions in one of the halls. 1t was in
teresting to watch the countenances Of
this most unfortunate class of individuals,
as their attention would seem to be occa-
sionally arrested and they would appar-
emily endeavor to catch the recollection Of
something that had long since faded from
their minds. There were q few who
were indifferent to all efforts to draw their
attention. But upon the whole, we be-
lieve the patients were much benefited
by this benevolent attempt TO interest
them, and to put their faculties once more
into healthy action. Nothing, we :hink.
not even their unrivaled success, should
be so gratifying to the Blakely Family in
the remembrance of their visit to Jack
sonville, as the Concert at the Luna,ic
Asylum. .....-,.

steamer POcahOntas DESTROYED
BY Firc---2, 800 Bales Of Cot
ton Lost.

We learn from Capt. Estes Of the Sax
on, that the steamer Pocahontas, with a
cargo of $500 bales Of cotton, caugh,
fire in the Mississippi river on Friday
night, the 10Th inst, at the head of Choc-
.aw Island, and was totally destroy ed
The boat was from the Arkansas river,
and when about 20 miles below the
mouth Of the river, the cotton along side
ofthe furnaces caught fire, and tho flames
spread with fearful rapidly. The boat
was rounded 10, but while in the middle
Of the river the .iller rope burned off.
and she became manageable, and
dritted down 10 about the middle OF
Choctaw island, where she lodged some
distance from the shore. The passen-
gers and crew were compelled to jump
into the river, and reach the shore in the
best way they could. The mate, with a
portion OF the crew, was first in the yawl,
with which he took great many out
safe. and then returned to the burning
wreck and rescued others. A great
many persons saved themselves by cling.
ing TO cotton bales, drift wood, and por.
tiOns Of the wreck.
Several lives were lost by the disaster,
but II was not ascertdined how many.
The Saxon was wooding at the time
some 20 miles below. and the Captain,
by the great light shat was made, thought
Il vas boat on FIRE, and fastened TO the
scene. Long before the boat was reach
ed, he saw the river full of burning cot
ion bales. and soon after picked up and
rescued great number of persons, who
were floating in the river on cotton bales,
and pieces of drift wood, planks, &C.,
from the wreck of the boat.
The loss of boat and cargo cannot fall
short Of $4,000.
The Poeahontas has been an unfortun-
ate craft. She bnrsted one of her boilers
IN the Arkansas river on the 18th of
March, killing 8, and wounding ls per,
sons.
The clerks of the Pocahontas were
passengers on the Glendy Burke 10
Memphis, and they are of the opinion
that eleven lives were lost, all lady pass.
engers, children and servants. All the
crew were saved.
