There is some probability that the
wretohed condition of Saeram onto city
will expedite the transaction Of Lsgis-
lative business in such manner as to
allow our Senators and Asssmblrmen
soon to return to their constituents. 1t
is said there is scarcely brick house
in the city which has not received more
or less damage; and the occupation of
the Capitol is regarded as unsafe, rs
such q structure, when the foundation
has been disturbed and the walls crack
cd, is ct any time liable to fall. ThI,
too, calamitous as it Is, viii be benei.

CohREcTIoN.-It seems We were
wrong in stating in our last that the
scenery in the Jenny Lind was saved.
We made inquiry Of one or two in re-
gard to this fact before writing, and
were told they had been taken out.
Believing, as we did, that it would re-
quire but little trouble to remove them,
when ascertained that the building
was in danger, and knowing they were
of considerable value, we concluded Of
course our information was correct.
But it now appears to be different,
and we are assured that but little or
nothing pertaining to the theatre was
saved.

RUMORS.

It is said that the Yuba river, on
Sunday last, was FIVE or six feet high
er than it was the winter Of lS49 so.
If this be so, and other streams are
swollen in like proportion, as we have
some reason to fear, what must be-
come of Marysville, Sacramento and
other towns on the river? N
1t is said that Oh Saturday last, the
good people Of Rough and Ready, as
we'll as those living between that place
and Deer Creek, were highly delights
ed with visit from Jenny Lind. The
first indication they had of her ap.
proach, was from the notes of the band
Of music, who were giving a concert
on the passage down. 1t was remark
ed by some wag, that some of them
had been to theatre before, but they
had never had theatre to come to
them ~
We have report, which is said to
have come from man who left Rough
and Ready on Monday, that the leves
at Sacramento, had given way and the
town was flooded. There is no GER
tainty ofthe truth of this; and though
the character Of the storm is such as
to justify fears, we sincerely hope it is
not so. We anxiously wait for some
correct information on the subject.

LOST AT SE,.-Great anxiety has beer'
felt in our community for some time
past, Cor the safety of Mr.. Samuel r

Sd Of jan, the Harriet was spoken by
the brig Venezuela, in gale Of wind,
about one hundred miles north Of Co
lumbia river. She was in distness boa
the weather was no bad ,ha. the Vene-
zuela could render no assistance. She
has not since been heard Of, and tho
friends of MIR. jackson have given her
up as lost. MIR. Jackson was from Pro-.

CoRoNER's INouEsr.-Ar inquest

CoRoNER's INQuEsr.-AE inquest
was held on Monday last, by E. c.
Daugherty, acting Coroner, over the
body of a man found dead on q sand
bar in Deer Creek, three miles below
Nevada. When found, the body was
entirely naked. There were two
large bruises on the head,-a frac-
ture in the scull over the left eye, and
q stab under the left shoulder blade.
The body was examined by DR.. Knox
whose decided opinion was that the
man had been murder ed, and the ju-
rvs verdict was to the same effect
He had probably been murdered, strip
ped of his clothing to prevent his be-
ing recognised, and thrown into the
wa'er in hopes that the swollen
stream would carry him off. He had
not been killed longer than Saturday
night; perhaps not SO long. He was
recognised by John Prior of CayOte-
vile, a, being Patrick Berry, aged
abost ~, from New York, where he
has a family.

MAN SHoT.-On Sunday last. ~
man by the name of Rich. shot another
man whose name we do not know, in
this vicinity. Is seems they were
both intoxicated at the time. No Sc
rious difficulty existed between them,
as we under. tand it, but on refusing
to comply with some request of Riclf,
he said, If you don't III shoot you,"
which he did, the ball lodging in the
mans shoulder. The wound is prob
ably not dangerous.

MAN DRowNED.-On Monday eve.
ming last man whose name is sup
posed to be Appleton, in attempting
to cross Deer Creek, on pole thrown
from the bank to some timbers of the
bridge left standing, at the Main st.
crossing, lost his balance and fell in
the creek. An attempt was made by
some one to save him, after being
washed down for some distance, even
At the risk Of his own life, but failed.
A man who assisted in trying to res
cue the unfortunate man, informs us
that after having been driven a short
distance by the current, he lost all use
of himself, and ceased to struggle -
This happened after the water in the
stream had fallen full 4 feet. 1t ap-
pears that the current Of this stream
is such that man, when in it, has no
power to govern himself or reach the
shore, although it is quite narrow.

We take the following account of
an attempt at seduction from tho st.
Louis Republican Of Jan. 10:
An affair has been related to US
which demands strict investigation,
and, if true, should bring the proper
visitation on the culpable parties. A
person who keeps, or clerks, in store
on Broadway, became acquainted with
the daughter Of flower vender in
Glasgow Row--a very pretty girl,
aged about sixteen--and, after visiting
her several times, made her certain
overtures of marriage. Having OBJ
tained her consent, he told her to meet
him at q certain hour, on Saturday
last, at his store on Broadway, where
he promised the attendance Of some
fit person who would perform the mar
4riage ceremony. The girl came, ac-
cording to appointment, and after
short time, another clerk in the store
married them, or, at all events, per-
formed the minister's part, in mock
cry Of the marriage ceremony. The
principal--who, we learn, is on the
point Of starting for New York city
then proposed that she should accom-
pany him to the boat.
The girl refused, however, stating
that she must first tell her mother Of
what had taken place. and, despite
many entreaties to remain, returned
home. The marriage certificate, as
drawn out by the clerk and signed by
all the parties, has been secured, and
is now in the hands Of the proper per-
sons. The mother, we learn, has as
certsined to her satisfaction, that Sc
duction was designed in the plans laid
about her daughter. We cannot be
quite SUI e, however, that the marriage
even performed as it was, by an un-
authorized agent, is not valid; at all
events, whether it be valid or not,
whether it was intended or not, JUS
tice demands that the matter be tho
roughly sifted, and the parties be made
to appear in their proper light, wheth-
Ut Of good or evil.

BRipaEs. 1t will now become ne

BRIDGES. 1t will now become me-
cessary to erect new bridges over
Deer Greek. Would it not be well to
profit by experience, and build these
structures higher, longer and stronger,
SO US TO give the water, in case of a
freshet, more room for escape? Had
the Main street bridge been six or
eight feet longer, and two or three feet
higher, we had saved ourselves the
disagreeable necessity Of now being
without the means Of safely crossing
the-stream that runs through our town.
To make such bridges, the additional
expense will be so trifipg as not
to, justify the construction of two
more of an inferior kind At least
one Of them should be entirely out Of
the reach Of any probable rise in the
stream, and built of such substantial
material as will be secure.

Agricultural Resources Of Tulare Plain,.

Six years ago the only knowledge the
world At large had Of California, was by
the typographical survey of Col. Fro
mont, whose reports started to eur shores
some Of the hardy pioneers Of the Wes'
tern States. Tho accounts given BY our
naval officers, with but few exceptions,
presented it ~ . barren country, unfit
for any thing but grazing purposes; yet
oil united in praise Of its unequalled
climate. The gold discoveries following
tho news Of peace with Mexico, and the
acquisition Of California by the United
States, had q tendency to retard the
development Of its agricultural resources
for several years; but now its valxs as
such, 10 just being appreciated. Many
now find the potatoe and onion d'ggtngs
fully equal in value to any diggings yet
discovered, r
There is not one foot Of Cslifosnia
(ths Sierra Nevada and gold rsges sx-
oeptsd) on which wheat, barley and
oats cannot be raised TO any extent de-
sired. In the old States, as the farmer
sows his seed, doub,s cross his mind as
to whetho he will ever reap rs much

fold 10 the greatest yield he can expect,
and that on his best land, and oil de-
pending On the season. But here the
farmer can start at the mountain top,
and SOW down to the depths Of the val
10y, and know that the yield will be at
least seventy Eve fold. Under such cir
csmstanees why should California yearly
send millions Of dollars to foreign ports

New 0RLEANs SERENADERs. - This
celebrated band Of players have been
performing in our town for several eve
nings. The performances consist Of vo-
cal and instrumental music and dancing
interspersed with numerous and we'll.
timed sallies Of wit and humor. The
company is composed Of six performers,
who not only understand the profession
they have engaged in, but they have
practiccd in concert until diseord can
scarcely be detected. As = singer, Mr.
Collins is pre.eminsnt, and his perfor-
mances were unsxceptionab.e. F. Buck
ley, asa violinist, deserves the credit
no has received of being one Of the best
of the age. In "the Dream" he is PEE
culiarly enchanting. j. Mullen, the
fancy burlesqus dancer, received great
sr applause, and perhaps deservedly,
than any other one of the company, not
withstanding the general satisfas ton
expressed Of the entire performance. G.

company, displays an unusual amount
and great variety Of humor, giving life
and spirit to the whole performance
