DowNIEvILLE, May 22d.
EDITOR NATIONAL DEMOCRAT Let me ask
your valley readers, who have nothing in
particular to do, and who are more or less
troubled with that monster companion Of
idleness-ennui-just to take jaunt up here
via. Forest City, across the immense fields oI
snow still glistening between that place and
this-if they would be restored to bouyant
spirits and feel again the vigor of childhood
That trip alone might not suffice, but a few
weeks spent here, chasing dull care away by
scrambling up and down the rugged hills oi
this vicinity, would, with the help of our
pure mountain water, effectually restore the
most inveterate hypycondriac.
By the way. Mr.. Editor Downieville is
gradually and permanently improving her
mines are among the best; and when our
new turnpike to Marysville is done-if ex-
tended on to Utah-her advantages will be
second to none.
Politically, things are working finely for
your friends. They may not be able to car
ry this stronghold of the nigger-democracy,
Sierra county-but they are bound to scare
them badly. Last night the Hon. Jos. c.
McKibbin had a splendid impromptu recep-
ton here. He was welcomed heartily by
Mr. Taylor back to his old home, Downie-
Vile He made few brief and appropriate
remarks in reply, promising to be more ex-
plicit some time in the future.
The Webb sisters are playing here now to
full houses. 1t is not their good looks alone
that draw-they know something of their
business. Tomorrow night we have a cir
Gus, so that amusements seem to be abund~
ant just now.
learn that the Webb troupe intend to
visit Utah during the coming summer-a
bold undertaking. to be sure. They will
start from Sacramento in month or so, and
will be glad to have the company of several
gentlemen.
The hotels here are full to overhowing.
The Virginia is re-opened under the name
of the American Exchange-Porter d Smith
proprietors; it is decidedly one of the neatest,
and best conducted houses have seen in the
State.
Your friends, Platt d Forbes, of the Dem
oerat, are prospecting finely, AMI as clever as
ever Yours, CARL.

HIGH WATER.-The Stockton Republican
of May cath, has the following:
From various sources we learn that within
the last twenty four hours the rivers in this
portion of the State have overhowed their
banks at many points, and the conseq quences
have been in some instances very disastrous
At Clark d Cahill's Ferry, on the Stanislaus
the entire country in the vicinityis overflow
ed. The most serious damage, however, has
been done on the Mokelumne river, in the
vicinity of Woods and Staples Ferries. We
are informed that in addition to the loss of
other property to large amount, a field of
two hundred acres of wheat, belonging to
Mr.. Staples, is under water. The water is
up even with the causeway which connects
Woods bridge with the land near his hotel.
The lands on the banks of this river, upon
which are rich crops, are submerged for
many miles, and the loss of property has
been immense.
There had not been a very heavy rise in
the Calaveras when the stage passed, yester
day, though the other rivers are greatly
swollen.

TALKING OUT IN MEErING.-The Calaveras
Chronicle, Lecomptonite, publishes the fol-
lowing in communication from q whilom
member of the Lecompton organization:
The people are heartily tired of going to
the stall like flock of geese, and being
plueked by those whom they have placed in
office in the utmost confidence They are de-
termined not to be victimzed by any more
Mudges and Brushes They are going to
make an effort this year to free themselves
from the horde of vampires that have been
lowering around, feeding on, and sucking to
the last drop the animating blood of the
county since its first organization
1t is understood here that Judge Hardy is
one of the most prominent candidates in the
Democratic ranks for District Judge, but he
will never be supported in this vicinity un
less some reasonable explanation is given in
the Brush bond aft ir. There seems to be a
bribe of seventeen thousand dollars offered
to Brush and lnnes for them to leave the
country.

SURVIVORS OF THE MOUNTAIN MEADOWS

provisions for them from here last sunday

CRESCENT CTY.-The Crescent City Her
aid of May 18th has the following:
The trade of the season may be said to
have fairly opened, though as yet to a very
limited extent. Some two hundred and fifty
to three hundred mules have come in over
the trail, and the majority of them loaded
and gone out again There is now, and prob.
ably will be for some time great demand
at Crescent City for pack animals, and
freights rule high.
The wagon road is not yet open, though a
party went cut the other way with n view
to get large number of cattle which are in
Illinois Valley, to come down that way
They would do much towards beating down
the track. -Four miles of snow is reported
on the road with depth of five or six feet.
Some idea may be formed of the unusual Sc
verify of the late winter, by rejecting that
such body of snow remains when it is near.
y the first of June, while the previous sea-
on, there was no snow at all in the same
pot during any portion of the winter.
