MORE SroRMs.-On Saturday mig ght last

we were visited by another rain storm, that
continued with but little intermission until
Tuesday afternoon. Fortunately the rain
was ''slow and steady" most of the time,
and although the streams all rose considera
bIv. they did not reach the high marks of the
first freshet. The temporary trail bridge at
Mineral Bar was carried away, and this was
the extent of damage in this county, so far
as we have learned.
The storm seems to have been general.
The Yuba and Feather rivers again over
flowed their banks at Marysvile and vicinity;
and at Sacramento, the waters of the Amer
lean cut away the new embankment at the
head of Burns Slough, and this, with the
back water from the Sacramento from below
r street, flooded the city up to L street,
and portions north of J street. so that boats
have since been in requisition. Passengers
coming out Of the city, take boats at the
Pavilion. corner of Sixth and NJ streets, and
reach the railroad cars at The high land Of
Poverty ridge.
The storm was succeeded by a bright
pleasant Christmas day, and the prospect
for fair weather seemed favorable; but on
Thursday afternoon the rain again commenc-
ed falling heavily, and for ten hours the
storm was the most violent Of any expert
enced this winter. Auburn ravine reached
higher mark than during the first flood,
and all the tributary ravines were very high.
The Turnpike was again flooded, but not
seriously injured. The American river rose
yerv fast: but did not come within five feet
of its previous high mark at Oregon Bar,
below the junction-from this we conclude,
that upon the head waters of the American
forks that snow, and not rain fell
Much anxiety is felt for Sacramento, and
the lower country, as it is feared that this
storm will cause further rise of three or
four feet of the already overfowing rivers.

high as on the oh Of December, and Friday

1t is feared that Sacramento will suffer
more than by any previous foods; and the
limited news we get from there, causes TIE
greater anxiety.
We are unable to obtain any news by
telegraph, as the line between Placervlle
and Sacramento is not working.
