CALIFORNIA NEws.-The most important
news by this arrival is the great freshet in the
interior of California, caused by the late rains
The loss Of property, however, is not SO great as
1t was on former occasion last year.
Sacramento was OvertlOwed in consequence Of
the crevasse on the levee, as was also Marys
vile. In the former city comparatively little
damage was done, for the reason that the in
habltants were prepared to a certain extent for
an inundatlon, and as the waters rose and gained
upon them, they removed their property 10 a
more elevated position. They, therefore, suffer.
E.! more Inconvenience than actual loss. Marvs
vile, on the other hand suffered great deal
and her loss is estimated at $3.50 900. Tie
GREATEST loss was sustained by the farmers or
the low lands, and by the owners of bridges
leading to the mines. The crops were not sc
much injured as 1t was feared they would be.
Yuba city escaped all damage by the food -
At Nevada the flood has been very serious. Two
quartz mills, the theatre, and Empire hotel have
been washed away. Many other houses have
been swept down, and considerable damage sus
tanned by the merchants.
The bridges at Colonia and Salmon falls hav'
been carried away, and it is feared that ever
bridge on the south and middle forks of the A
merlcan River have shared the same fate. TIT
country between Sacramento and the mines Il
utterly impossible.

being at an end, and the gluches and ravine
in the interior being filled with water The
miners are busily engaged in washing the eartl
they had dug and from whl:h they could no
extract the gold for want Of rain. They are il
the best splrlts and their returns, thus far, arr
1atterlng.
It is confidently expected by intelligent per
sons, who have given attention to the subject
that the yield of gold this year will exceed tina
Of any former year. A greater number oil per
sons have been at work, and greater quantity
of earth has been dug than was ever known.
Crime continues to increase. Several ad
ditlonal murders have been committed by thu
Indians in the interior, some of whom were ar
rested, tried and convicted according to tn,
Lynch code of proceedings.
The Evening Picayune has been sold under
deed OF assignment
The amount Of duties paid during January
and February on goods imported in American
and foreign vessels, was S285,70l.
The U. s. sonp OF war st. Marys had lef

anese who were rescued about year since.
There are two bills of considerable importance
before the Legislature-one provides for submit
ting to the people at the next election, whethe
or not convention shall be held for amending
the constitution. 1t is opposed by the Free Soil
ers on the ground that the real object of the
movement is TO make a division of the state, SC
that slavery may be introduced into the South
ern part Of it. 1t was passed Y the House OF
the I'd ult., and it Is now before the Senate. The
other bill is to enforce contracts made beyonC
the state for the performance of labor within the
Ii nits thereof. Should this bill pass, cotract
will be made Immediately with laborers IN Chi
nl and fresh impetus be given to The develop
ment OF the mineral resources, and the improve
of the city, the growth of which is retarded
much by the present high prices of labor
